Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Village Chief Liu’s ears were starting to ring from the exhortations. He didn’t understand why their chief was being so fussy today. Usually, he would only exhort him once or twice when something happened, but today, he had been exhorted more than ten times. He was getting a little impatient, but he still agreed. “Don’t worry, I will.”

“Alright then. I won’t have to talk more.” Lizheng was almost talking to himself as he nodded his head. He was not in the right state of mind. Then, he waved his hand. “You can go back. I’m going back too.”

“Alright. Goodbye.”

Then, Lizheng walked away with his hands behind his back.

When Village Chief Liu saw this, he realized that he had many things to do. He turned around and entered Liu Village again.

Right then, after walking ten steps with his hands behind his back, Lizheng still turned back worriedly. He wanted to remind him again, but when he turned back, the other man had already quickly left. The village entrance was empty, and Lizheng was stunned.

Then, Lizheng smiled and shook his head. “I must be going crazy.”

It was also because the ident.i.ty of the child adopted by the Xue family was too important. He was actually the Crown Prince. Others did not know this, but he was called to the county government for questioning. The official who interrogated him was the Minister of Justice and told him everything. Naturally, he knew about this information straight away.

However, the Minister of Justice had told him not to say anything, so he did not dare to tell anyone that Xue Yan was the Crown Prince. He had to give his confession and sign a contract as proof to never tell anyone.

Although he was only the chief of this small village, he also knew that this confession was worth a lot as it was related to the Crown Prince’s background. If there was a lie, he would be beheaded. Therefore, at that time, he did not dare to lie and tell the truth. Seeing that he was so cooperative, the Minister of Justice did not make things difficult for him and even sent him back on a carriage.

Xue Yan was His Highness the Crown Prince. If Xue Dafu’s family still had some trouble in the villages he managed, could he live with that?

Therefore, he really couldn’t hold it in anymore today and came to Liu Village to ensure that everything was going in the right direction.

Liu Guisheng was Liu Guixia’s younger brother. Last year, Liu Guishengs family wanted to get money from Liu Guixia the moment the Xue family got richer. They even smashed the watermelons of Xue Dafu’s family in a fit of jealousy. After that, they were sent to the county government and locked up for several days before they were released. Although they were much more calm, he was still worried. He was afraid that they would cause trouble again.

Not only would they suffer, but he would also suffer.

Xue Yan’s status was too high to offend.

He always had an uneasy personality.

Ever since he knew that Xue Yan was His Highness the Crown Prince, he did not sleep.

“Forget it.” Lizheng shook his head and smiled again, feeling that he was possessed. Village Chief Liu was probably annoyed by his exhortations, which was why he left so quickly. He thought about how many times he had exhorted Village Chief Liu just now, and he felt annoyed himself.

“I should really go back now.” There was clearly no one beside him, but the chief still spoke out loud before he prepared to go home.

He planned to go home through the small road.

He hadn’t walked a few steps when he suddenly saw two children standing by the side of the road. ‘Is that His Highness the Crown Prince?’

Lizheng fell to the ground with a thud.

Immediately after, he hurriedly got up from the ground. He hurriedly arrived in front of Xue Yan and knelt on the ground. “It is my greatest joy to wish a long life for you, My Highness!’

“Please, rise.” Xue Yan personally helped him up.

The village chief was extremely frightened by this gesture.

“Presumably, the minister must have told you the news.”

“Yes, Your Highness. I was promised to not tell anyone that you’re the Crown

Prince..”
