Zhou Ying took a solid look at Young Master Liu. After making sure that no evil glow was coming off his body, she had no choice but to withdraw from her light screen.
After that, she got busy grinding a large amount of mixed flour. The couple then took a shower and left the interspace.
Gu Chengrui saw it was still early and wanted to âexerciseâ with her.
However, seeing her absent-minded look, he pinched her face and asked, âWhat are you thinking about? Youâre completely ignoring your husband.â
Zhou Ying returned to her senses and told him about County Magistrate Kong, âThis is no small matter. If they succeed, not to mention the third prince, Iâm afraid even we wonât have a good ending.â
âDo you know who this Young Master Liu is working for?â Gu Chengruiâs face immediately darkened.
âIâm not sure, as they didnât mention the person, and I doubt it would be anyone other than the other two princes. We must think of a way to warn Manager Liu and the Third Prince.â
âItâs not easy to do this with our identities. We donât even know the exact location.â Gu Chengrui paused and continued, âBy the way, do you think you can try to remind them of Mother God?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI havenât tried it, but itâs worth a shot.â Zhou Ying nodded and agreed with this suggestion.
âSure, thereâs no need to be too anxious.
âI donât think they dare make any big moves before completely replacing County Magistrate Kong. Otherwise, if exposed, they will be executed for such a heavy crime.â Gu Chengrui smiled and pulled her into his arms.
Conversely, Manager Liuâs men quickly discovered County Magistrate Kong had gone missing.
They suddenly saw two masked men dragging the unconscious County Magistrate Kong into a carriage when they had just started their search.
They immediately rushed forward, and after a struggle, they âsavedâ County Magistrate Kong and sent him back to the county office.
After Manager Liu received the news, he didnât suspect that this County Magistrate Kong was a fake. Instead, he strengthened the protection around County Magistrate Kong.
At the same time, after receiving the information about food appearing out of thin air from the government offices in the county and the various towns, he immediately sent a messenger pigeon to the Third Prince.
The Third Prince was shocked when he heard this. He had never expected such a bizarre thing to really happen.
After confirming that this wasnât fake, he heaved a sigh of relief.
âCousin, what do you think of this?â he asked Zhou Huaiming.
âAlthough there was a batch of food and sweet potatoes from the south, most were transported further to the north. Iâm afraid the ones we have wonât last long. Why donât we try it too?â Zhou Huaiming said.
The Third Prince shook his head after a moment of contemplation. âThe faith in Mother God has been completely cut off here, so these people must undergo a process to regain it.
âSo, go and find the two old men from before; tell them to bring their clansmen and pay their respects to Mother God. Weâll make a move after this news has spread.â
âBut if we go there now and get food from Mother God, wonât we be able to establish our prestige among the people?â
âDonât forget that Uncle Liu once asked a question about the sincerity of a personâs prayers.
âIf you donât let the people know Mother God will really care for us, even if we forcibly tie them up, they wonât pray to Mother God sincerely.â
âUnderstood. Iâll make the arrangements now.â
âGo now, and check if the Mother God Temple here is safe.â
âYes.â Zhou Huaiming nodded and left.
After having breakfast, he brought his trusted aides out and ordered them to scout the Mother God Templeâs surroundings.
As for himself, he went to look for the two clan elders.
On the other side, Zhou Ying and the others had just woken up when they heard the news that the county had ordered the repair of the Mother God Temple. They were immediately overjoyed.
This way, the Mother God Temple could establish itself in Yunhe County..
