Chapter 524 2 month later
More than two months have passed in a flash.
During this period, Xie Qichen and Li Mingfei's health had almost recovered.
I still remember that the first thing Xie Qichen did after waking up was to ask how Li Mingfei was doing.
Xie Qichen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Li Mingfei had been rescued and was no longer in serious condition.
When Li Mengyue learned about this, she gossiped with Xie Ruiyuan and said that there was something wrong with the relationship between Xie Qichen and Li Mingfei and it did not seem like an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship.
Xie Ruiyuan was very cooperative with her and took her to ask Xie Qichen.
As a result, Xie Qichen said that the reason why he cared so much about Li Mingfei was not only because Li Mingfei had once saved his life, but also because he knew that Li Mingfei left home to find his sister.
He thought of his aunt who had been missing for more than ten years, and somehow he felt close to Li Mingfei and took better care of him on weekdays.
For example, this time he led his troops to the place in the Northern Desert where food and grass were stored, they were surrounded and became a prisoner of the Northern Desert people. It was Li Mingfei who saved him.
If it weren't for Li Mingfei, he would have died at the hands of the Beimo people long ago.
He never thought that Li Mingfei was his cousin and that he and Li Mingfei were relatives.
However, he also felt that it was fate that made him meet the desperate Li Mingfei. If he had not extended a helping hand to Li Mingfei, Li Mingfei would have died at the hands of the bandits long ago.
It was because of his one helping hand that Li Mingfei regarded him as his savior, truly repaying a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude.
Now, they are cousins and their relationship will be closer in the future.
After Li Mengyue recognized Xie Qichen and Li Mingfei, she also told them about their family situation.
Xie Qichen also learned that his son Mingxuan was kidnapped on his way back to Beijing, and somehow ended up in the hands of human traffickers.
Fortunately, my son met his cousin Li Mengyue and escaped the fate of being sold by human traffickers.
Although his son recognized Li An and his wife as his godfather and godmother, and Li Mengyue as his sister, he did not care. There is a difference in seniority, and it can be changed in the future. As long as his son is fine, it's fine.
He also learned that his aunt, who had been missing for more than ten years, was found by his younger brother Xie Yunzhou, who also brought his son Mingxuan and his aunt back home.
Li Mingfei was listening nearby and only then realized what had happened since he left home.
The sister whom he had loved since childhood was not his biological sister, but the daughter of the prime minister who was swapped with someone else.
His real sister had lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion for more than ten years, but Yun Ran somehow found her and used some method to make the Prime Minister and his wife recognize her and include her in the family tree.
But his own sister Li Mengyue was not only framed, but also cut off ties with the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He felt so heartbroken when he thought about the harm his sister had suffered.
But he also knew that with his status and position, it was impossible for him to seek revenge on Yun Ran.
So Li Mingfei secretly made up his mind to make more military achievements, make himself stronger, and protect his sister well.
It’s a pity that Xie Ruiyuan didn’t know what Li Mingfei was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely say no. He would take care of his princess himself, so what did it have to do with him as the brother-in-law?
Let’s not talk about Xie Qichen and Li Mingfei for now. A few days after the war with Beimo ended, another person came to the Marshal’s Mansion in Beiling City. He was Xie Ruiyuan’s cousin Ji Jingyi.
When Ji Jingyi learned about his feelings for Li Mengyue, he was determined to win her over.
But fate loves to play tricks on people. The woman that made his heart beat was actually the woman that his cousin had been looking for, and she was pregnant.
He didn't care at first, but he saw care in his cousin's eyes, and he knew that his cousin cared about Li Mengyue.
Even though he was so sad that he cried, he still smiled and gave the house in Xinghua Village to his cousin, and then left Xinghua Village.
Originally, he had thought about never seeing each other again so that he wouldn't be sad. However, when he learned that his cousin and Li Mengyue were both in Beiling City, he found an excuse to deliver supplies and came to Beiling City.
However, after Ji Jingyi arrived in Beiling City, he devoted himself to disaster relief. He was so tired every day that he could not even lift his arms, and he never felt at ease in his heart.
In this way, with Li Mengyue's continuous material support and Ji Jingyi's help, Xie Ruiyuan did not have to spend too much effort to provide disaster relief to the people who suffered in the snow disaster.
However, the population and area affected by this snowstorm were beyond their imagination, and it took two full months to properly resettle all the refugees.
By the time the snow on the ground began to melt, Li Mengyue's belly had grown bigger and bigger over the past two months.
Every time Xie Ruiyuan saw Li Mengyue's belly, he was frightened. In the end, when Li Mengyue walked, he couldn't even see her feet, only a big belly.
Xie Ruiyuan was so worried that he stayed by Li Mengyue's side day and night, and would not leave her even when handling official business.
In addition, ever since Doctor Luo Shen knew that Li Mengyue was skilled in suturing, he has been staying at the commander-in-chief's residence and refused to leave. He said that Li Mengyue was pregnant with quadruplets and he was not very reassured. He wanted to watch her personally in case anything happened and maybe he could help.
Xie Ruiyuan was also familiar with Doctor Luo's medical skills, and could not deny what Doctor Luo said, so he agreed to let Doctor Luo stay.
Li Mengyue knew her physical condition and knew that even if she had four children in her belly, nothing would go wrong during delivery.
After all, she drinks the spiritual spring water every day, there are so many soul-restoring pills in the space, and her own medical skills are also very advanced, and she knows her physical condition very clearly.
But even if she assured Xie Ruiyuan that nothing would happen, it still couldn't ease Xie Ruiyuan's anxiety, so she simply ignored it and let Xie Ruiyuan do whatever he wanted.
As a result, what Xie Ruiyuan did shocked her. You know, Xie Ruiyuan is very busy with official duties every day, and often he sits at his desk late at night.
But even in such a busy situation, Xie Ruiyuan still managed everything related to her in order. Xie Ruiyuan would review every dish she ate for three meals a day, and only after making sure that each dish was suitable for pregnant women would he give the nod to let the kitchen prepare it.
There were also four midwives in the mansion, as well as a wet nurse, and maids and old women to serve.
However, she found it troublesome and was not used to being served, so she did not agree to let anyone into the yard.
Xie Ruiyuan also knew her temper, so he did not make any strong demands and took care of her daily life personally.
Li Mengyue had no psychological burden about having a prince of a country serve her.
After all, she was carrying Xie Ruiyuan's own flesh and blood in her belly. It was already very hard for her to carry four children every day. It didn't matter if Xie Ruiyuan just took care of her.
Li Mengyue had thought about returning to Xinghua Village to give birth, but no matter what, Xie Ruiyuan would not agree to her going back.
Because the snowstorm in the north was so severe and involved a wide range of people and areas, it would take more than three to five days to arrange everything.
The reason why the provincial capitals north of Qingshan Prefecture were able to arrange and deal with the situation within three days was that the snowstorm had just begun and not that many people were affected.
Another point is that before the extreme cold Little Ice Age came, Li Mengyue had people make a lot of preparations. Not only did several villages in Qingshan Town jointly build a market, but after Xie Ruiyuan saw the role of the market, he also arranged for people to build a market.
In order to attract a large number of merchants, Li Mengyue took out a large amount of grain and sold it at the market. Not only did the common people and refugees buy grain at a very low price, but many merchants also bought grain from Li Mengyue and transported it to other cities to sell, making a lot of money.
