Fortunately, there were not many people who had contracted the disease. They were concentrated in the area where Mu Dongmei’s house used to be. In addition, many fences were set up to separate them from those who had not been found to have the disease.
Tongzhi had received the Emperor’s approval to personally investigate the case of the sexually transmitted disease and strictly followed MO Ruyue’s decision.
This incident had made all the officials involved in this matter more aware of MO Ruyue’s right to speak. Everyone was also working seriously.
Although this princess was a fake princess, the royal family recognized her. Her ability to execute and handle matters was not inferior to that of a man.
They even treated Princess Ming Yue’s orders as if they were an imperial edict, so Magistrate Wu’s work was much smoother.
Even County Magistrate Wu thought that if he never left Lianshan County, he would be very comfortable as a county magistrate here for the rest of his life. After all, he had a big shot protecting him. That feeling was not something that a person who fought alone could get.
Early in the morning on New Year’s Eve, no matter when or where, every household was filled with joy.
Both adults and children were busy. The adults were busy making food and putting up couplets on the door. The children were busy eating all kinds of food that had just been made. From time to time, they would take out two firecrackers to blow them up and discuss with each other who made the fruits and fried fish. It was delicious.
The children’s movements could be heard from every corner of the village. If they couldn’t find the children for a while, they would definitely be able to find their children by following the sound of the firecrackers.
The princess’s residence was considered a new residence, so the Qin family unanimously decided to celebrate the new year with Wang Tiezhu’s family on the eve of the new year.
When Wang Tiezhu went to the princess’s manor, he first set off the firecrackers at home. Then, he went to the princess’s manor to have a reunion dinner. After dinner, he sat down and chatted for a while before bringing his wife home. Because there would be juniors coming to their house to pay their New Year’s greetings in advance, they could not leave the house without people.
Gu Ying, Qin Qingyan, Qin Qingshuang, and the others stayed in the princess’ manor and did not return to the village.
The villagers also knew that if they wanted to pay a New Year’s visit, they should come to the princess’s manor.
He didn’t want to bring his sister-in-law back and leave MO Ruyue alone with the two children in the Princess’s manor.
There was a charcoal brazier in the middle of the hall. There was no need for a fire in this weather, but Granny Rong and Granny Yan both said that a brazier was the best way to show off the flourishing days, so MO Ruyue had no choice but to let them light one.
Gu Ying stayed with MO Ruyue while Qin Qingyan and Qin Qingshuang excused themselves.
Tang Tang and Si Bao insisted on staying with their mother for the New Year. As a result, the two children fell asleep. Because of the charcoal basin in the room, the two children slept until their little faces were red.
“I’ll open the window a little wider. It’s a little hot.”
MO Ruyue had drunk some fruit wine at night, and now she was a little dizzy from the smoke from the stove. She wanted to sleep too.
“Sit down, I’ll do it.”
Gu Ying stopped MO Ruyue, who was about to get up, and asked her to sit down. He quickly walked towards the window that was already slightly open.
“Go and sleep for a while.”
Initially, Tang Tang and Si Bao were still chattering with them. Now that they were the only ones awake, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
It was the new year, and MO Ruyue had already asked the maids and the old nanny to go play on their own, so they weren’t around.
“I’m not sleepy. I’ll accompany you.”
Gu Ying returned to his original seat.
“Why don’t we get married?”
“Boom!”
Gu Ying did not sit properly and fell to the ground. MO Ruyue hurriedly went forward to help him up.
“Did you drink too much tonight?”
“I saw that you didn’t drink much. Your alcohol tolerance is so bad. Drink less next time.”
Gu Ying stood up and stopped sitting.
“What did you just say? “Drink less next time.”
“The sentence before that?”
“You drank too much.”
“Let’s get married!”
“Say it again.”
Gu Ying’s voice trembled.
“I said let’s get married. You’re not young anymore.”
MO Ruyue didn’t think it was a difficult thing to say.
It was all because of Gu Ying. If she didn’t take the initiative to say it, who knew how long she could wait.
She didn’t like to drag things out. After spending so much time with Gu Ying, Gu Ying always thought of her and put her first in everything.
She felt that they could already get married, and there was no point in dragging it out.
“You, why are you looking at me like that?” “If you don’t want to get married…”
“I want to! I really want to! I really want to!”
Gu Ying hurriedly finished MO Ruyue’s sentence.
“I just couldn’t believe it. I thought I heard wrong and thought I was dreaming.”
“We’ll get married whenever you want!”
“I’ve already prepared everything. I’m just waiting for you to marry me.”
She did not expect happiness to come so suddenly. He had even pinched himself secretly just now.
“Pfft, if you marry into the family, you can’t regret it.”
MO Ruyue was now a princess. If she were to get married, he would be the son-in-law.
“Don’t think about it. I definitely won’t regret it!”
“If I can’t marry you, I don’t think I’ll ever get married in my life.”
Seeing Gu Ying’s serious expression, MO Ruyue also said seriously, “‘i l don’t care if what you’re saying now is true or not, but if you marry me, I’ll take it that what you’re saying is true. If you ever do anything to let me down in the future, I’ll personally end you.”
MO Ruyue did not think that way at first. She had always thought that it was not suitable for them to be separated. But now that she thought about Gu Ying betraying her, she could not bear it.
“I’m a jealous woman, and a super jealous woman at that. I can’t even get a speck of dust in my eyes.”
“Yes, Princess!”
“In the future, I, Gu Ying, will be yours in life and your ghost in death. I will absolutely be loyal to you alone!”
MO Ruyue nodded. “Mm.”
“And then?”
That was it?
Shouldn’t he show his loyalty to her?
“Then, when we go to visit Master tomorrow, we’ll ask him to choose an auspicious day for us to host our wedding.”
Gu Ying was gone in an instant.
“Alright. ”
His Ruyue was different from others!
“However, don’t you have to rush into the palace tomorrow?
“I think so. I almost forgot if you didn’t mention it.”
The two of them were still chatting in the house when the sound of firecrackers could be heard outside the house. It turned out that the new year had arrived.
Gu Ying smiled gently at MO Ruyue. “I’ll go set off the firecrackers.”
MO Ruyue nodded.
The men in the family were the ones who lit the firecrackers during the new year. Even the manservant did not let him interfere.
“Go and take a nap first.”
Gu Ying remembered that MO Ruyue would be hurrying on her journey soon and had not slept the entire night. He urged her to catch up on her sleep.
As a princess, she was supposed to spend the Spring Festival with the Emperor and Empress Dowager in the palace. Considering that she had two children at home, he asked her to go after the Spring Festival.
“Okay, you should hurry up and go too.”
She would wake up later and take the two children away, leaving Guying at home with Qin Qingyan and Qin Qingshuang. They still had to receive those who had brought their children over to visit.
The princess’s manor was very large, and there were many courtyards and rooms. Therefore, MO Ruyue had reserved a private room for everyone she knew. At this moment, Gu Ying went to his private room to sleep, and MO Ruyue also went back to her room.
She only felt that she had not slept for long before she was woken up by the nannies again.
MO Ruyue was really sleepy. She closed her eyes the entire time and allowed Granny Rong and Chun Hua to help her change her clothes, wash her face, put on makeup, and tie her hair.
EvenTang Tang and Si Bao had woken up and started to eat breakfast by themselves. MO Ruyue was still in a daze and only wanted to sleep..
