The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

After the two came out from the old lady, they went back into the house together.

Xue Jinhua sat on the bed, looking down at the bracelet in her hand, feeling very heavy in her heart, "Husband, you should be able to tell me now, right?"

The prince nodded, then sent everyone else away and closed the door tightly.

At this time, the prince said calmly, "My mother and the queen are sisters."

Xue Jinhua knew about this, so she was not surprised.

"and you………"

"My mother was born to be a queen, but her fate was changed by someone."

Xue Jinhua was shocked. She had always thought that exchanging fates was an incredible thing, but she didn't expect... that even the Queen's life was exchanged.

From this perspective, Madam Qian is quite pitiful, as her life was actually exchanged by her own sisters.

"and you………"

"Changing one's fate is against the will of heaven. It comes at a price. Although she has changed her fate to that of a queen, she will be unable to have children for the rest of her life."

"That year, my mother went to the palace and was favored by my father after she got drunk. When the queen found out about this, she didn't tell my father. Instead, she waited until my mother gave birth, kept the son and took me away as her own child, and then sent someone to kill my mother."

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua opened her mouth in shock and couldn't utter a word.

She had never imagined that there was such a thrilling story hidden behind it.

The crown prince raised a hint of sarcasm and continued, "All these years I thought my mother was dead, but I didn't know that my mother was originally from Wuyou Valley and was the savior of Master Tiandao. I have known my life story since I was old enough to understand."

Xue Jinhua frowned and asked in confusion: "But mother is from the Qian family, and is a member of the Empress's family. How could she not know that her mother is still alive?"

"Because my mother didn't live as herself, but as my grandfather's adopted daughter."

Xue Jinhua was secretly surprised, and gradually understood the whole story.

It turns out that there are so many complicated relationships and secrets involved.

She couldn't help but sigh at the fickleness of fate and the wickedness of human nature.

"But if the Queen summons mother, won't she be discovered sooner or later?" Xue Jinhua frowned, puzzled.

The prince shook his head slightly, his eyes flashing with sarcasm: "When my grandfather adopted my daughter, it was because she looked like my mother. The queen knows this."

He went on to say, "My mother's time is running out. The Empress knows that she is seriously ill. She has been living in the palace for many years and has no time to worry about my mother. In order to show her generosity, she sometimes rewards my mother in the name of her mother's family."

When the prince said these words, his tone was full of sarcasm and disdain.

Xue Jinhua couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. She thought to herself, this royal family looks bright and beautiful on the surface, but in fact it is so dark and dirty inside.

"So, all these years you have been living outside the imperial city as Master Qian?" Xue Jinhua looked at the prince with questioning eyes.

The prince nodded to show his agreement.

Xue Jinhua was filled with emotion. She felt that things were far more complicated than she had imagined.

She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then did the Queen never have any doubts at all?"

The prince sneered, "Humph, of course she had doubts, but how could she have thought that I would hide it in this way? She just thought I was a useless waste."

Xue Jinhua was shocked, she had never expected that the prince could be so forbearing. For so many years, he had been living under the eyes of others, and the hardships and difficulties he had gone through were really unimaginable.

"Well, in the palace, I am the high and mighty Crown Prince, but outside the palace...when I appear as Master Qian, I will no longer have anything to do with the royal family. In this way, mother may feel relieved."

Anyone would feel awkward and uncomfortable to be asked to call... their enemy "mother".

"Second Master, something terrible has happened!"

Just as the two were talking, the anxious shouts of the guards were suddenly heard outside the door.

The prince could not help but frown slightly, and Xue Jinhua said, "You should go out and check the situation."

The prince nodded, turned around, opened the door and left.

"Why are you so flustered?" the prince asked gloomily.

"Second Master, the streets are now in chaos, and everyone is frantically rushing to buy food. The prefect is completely unable to control the situation. Due to the recent surge in food prices, the people have long been complaining, and now they have even come to the government office to make trouble."

"My Lord the Prefect does not know how to deal with this, so I am asking for your help, Your Highness."

"Didn't we discuss the countermeasures last night? As long as we hold on for a few days, food will be transferred from other provinces in a few days." The prince asked the guard in front of him.

The guard lowered his head and replied timidly: "I don't know the specific situation."

The prince's face became extremely gloomy, and he was thinking secretly in his heart.

At this moment, Xue Jinhua said, "Second Master, why don't we go and take a look? If we can understand the actual situation, we can discuss countermeasures."

The prince nodded, thinking that this suggestion was good, and the group quickly arrived at the yamen.

When they arrived at the gate, before Xue Jinhua had time to get out of the car, she saw from afar a group of people gathered at the gate of the yamen. They were very excited and seemed to be discussing something intensely.

She vaguely heard some noisy voices, among which someone shouted: "Sir, is there no food left in Nanling?"

Others echoed, "We need to survive, we need food!"

Some people even angrily questioned: "The price of grain is so high now, don't you do anything about it?"

Xue Jinhua couldn't help but frown, she realized that the current situation was indeed not optimistic.

At this time, a servant of the prefect came hurriedly, saluted respectfully to the prince, and led them into the yamen.

Although the servant did not know the identity of Master Qian Er, he understood the relationship between Master Qian Er and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The fact that Master Qian Er could come in person meant that he was here on behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to handle this matter.

However, to everyone's surprise, Master Qian came with his newlywed wife.

Although the lady was wearing a felt hat, making it impossible to see her face clearly, one could vaguely feel her unparalleled elegance and extraordinary bearing from the unique temperament emanating from her.

After passing through the special doorway and entering the government office, the prefect hurried forward to greet them, bowing respectfully and saying, "Your humble servant greets Master Qian and Madam."

Master Qian frowned and asked, "What on earth happened?"

The prefect replied with a bitter face: "Second Master, you may not understand. Last night we discussed with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and planned to transport a batch of grain from the nearby Lingzhou."

“But due to time constraints, the food has not yet arrived.”

"I didn't expect the news to leak out. After the people of Nanling City learned about this, they flocked to the government office to ask for food."

Master Qian asked: "Didn't you take any measures?"

The prefect shook his head helplessly: "I have already mobilized all the grain in the government office, but the amount is still far from enough. Now these people are making more and more trouble. I really don't know when they will stop!"

The prince frowned and said in a deep tone: "Such suppression and leaving it alone is not a good idea." He knew very well that this approach could only temporarily calm the situation but could not fundamentally solve the problem.

The prefect nodded repeatedly to show his agreement and responded respectfully: "Second Master, you are absolutely right. Now we just need to provide enough food and these people will stop making trouble." He believed that solving the food problem was a top priority.

However, the reality made them feel difficult. The prefect sighed and said, "But where can we find so much food now?" This is indeed a difficult problem to be solved.

Just when everyone was in trouble, Xue Jinhua put forward her own opinion: "Second Master, although it seems that the problem is with food, what if this is a trap?" She keenly realized that there may be a deeper conspiracy.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately became alert, thinking that her point of view made sense, and hurriedly asked: "In your opinion, Madam, what should we do?" He was full of expectations for Xue Jinhua's wisdom.

Xue Jinhua calmly analyzed: "This food issue should have been a confidential matter within the government, but these people all knew about it."

"And this situation happened just at this time. Do you think this is just a coincidence?" Her eyes were sharp, revealing a hint of doubt.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly realized that this was no accident.

He carefully observed those who were leading the most intense shouting, and gradually understood what was happening.

"The government is deceiving us. They must have hidden the grain..."

"Why would the government care about our life or death? Food is the most important thing for the people. We can't even afford to eat, so why would we care so much?"

"........."

Every word was like a sharp blade, accurately cutting a hole in the hearts of the people and inciting their hatred towards the government.

The prince narrowed his eyes slightly, pointed his sharp gaze straight at the man, and said sternly, "Catch the person who led the trouble. I want to interrogate him personally."

"Yes."

With the prince in charge, the prefect's efficiency was astonishingly high.

Not long after, the man was arrested.

"If you let me go, what right do you have to arrest me?" The middle-aged man's face was full of anger and he looked extremely shrewd.

Seeing his stubborn look, the prince frowned slightly. After a while, an officer kicked him away. "You still don't kneel when you see the Second Master. Are you tired of living?"

"Who are you? I want to see the master."

The prince touched the ring on his finger, which shone with a cold light in the sun, as if declaring his authority. "Here, the governor has no say, I have the final say."

"Who are you?"

He shrank his neck. This man was like an iceberg, emitting a suffocating coldness. His eyes that could see through people's hearts seemed to be able to expose all the little secrets in his heart to the sun.

"Who sent you?"

The prince's voice was icy cold, as if it came from the Netherworld, making people shudder and their hearts tremble.

Seeing that he didn't answer the question, the man raised his neck and said, "Let me ask you again... eh?"

Before he could finish his words, the man was kicked to the ground by the guards and his face was stepped on hard.

"Just say whatever the Second Master tells you to say. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" After saying that, the foot on the man's face turned vigorously a few times. The man then woke up from his dream and realized that he had provoked a big shot who he absolutely could not afford to offend.

"I... don't know what you are talking about. I am a good citizen of Nanling. I just want to uphold justice for the people..."
