Chapter 45 Conspiracy

Chu Li pointed to the hand-drawn map in front of him.

Huanyan took a closer look and said, "Isn't this a topographic map of the area around Xiaomei Village?"

Chu Li pointed to a place and said, "This place is called Daying Village. You must buy all of their rice at a high price within three days."

Huanyan was puzzled: Now is the autumn harvest season, is the master going to store grain?

However, the master must have her reasons for doing this, so she didn't ask any more questions and nodded, "Master, I'll do it right away!"

Chu Li put away the map and said, "Don't use your men yet. Wait until the storm has passed. I have something for them to do."

"Yes, the servant understands."

"Also, do not let anyone into the Emerald Garden of the mansion. I have something to do in the next two days."

"Yes, master."

After Huanyan left, Chu Li went to the black market again and bought some materials needed to make gunpowder.

She completed the production of gunpowder in a secret room in her private residence.

......

On the other side, relocation is in full swing in Xiaomei Village.

Kong Wu was sent here by Chu Li to assist with the relocation of the people.

He looked at Mei Maobing who was busy running around. This man was as enthusiastic as his father Mei Hao.

Mei Maobing took some time to go home and drink some hot water. The cloth on her mother's eyes had not been removed for the past two days. After he went into the house and cooked for his mother, he brought the meal to her.

In the dilapidated adobe house, Mao Yueru lay quietly on the bed.

"Mom, how do your eyes feel?"

Mao Yueru smiled and sat up. "I don't feel anything. It's raining again today and there's no sun. Why don't you open it for me and I'll open my eyes slowly."

"Okay." Mei Maobing put down his bowl and chopsticks, walked behind his mother and helped her remove the cloth strips.

He was a little bit looking forward to it, but also prepared to be disappointed.

After all, his mother had been blind for several years, how could she possibly regain her sight?

Mao Yueru patted Mei Maobing's hand and said, "Mother is already very satisfied. Whether we can see it or not, we should thank the prince. He is the future crown prince. We should be grateful for his kindness to us common people for the rest of our lives."

Mei Maobing nodded, "Mom, I understand."

He looked expectantly at his mother as she slowly opened her eyes. Mao Yueru's vision went from blurry to gradually clear, and she was stunned!

She can see, she can see!

Her heart was like a dead tree suddenly covered with lush leaves. She instantly lost control of her emotions and started to cry.

Mei Maobing saw his mother crying and knew that she must not have recovered her sight. He anxiously comforted her, "Mom, don't cry. It's okay even if you can't see. I will take you wherever I go. I am your eyes!"

Mao Yueru suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "Bing'er, you have worked hard these years."

Mei Maobing half squatted down, "Mother, what are you talking about? You raised me little by little, isn't it my duty to be filial to you? In the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will lead us to sell tea, and we will definitely live a good life."

Mao Yueru nodded heavily, "Of course he will. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a god!"

Mei Maobing thought her mother was simply thanking His Highness, and was about to agree, but Mao Yueru looked at the bowl in front of her and said, "The bean noodles made by Bing'er smell so good, and they even put coriander in them."

Mei Maobing stood up from the ground in an instant. He held Mao Yueru with his hands, his eyes trembling, his chest heaving violently, "Mom! You can see now!"

Mao Yueru cried with joy, "Yes, mother can see now. The prince cured mother's eyes!"

The mother and son hugged each other and cried. After a while, Mei Maobing wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Mother, you are right. The prince is really a god!"

Mao Yueru smiled and nodded, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't allow us to say that she knows medical skills, so I will continue to pretend to be blind."

"Yes!" Mei Maobing felt as if he had eaten a cool watermelon on a hot summer day, and his whole mood was filled with joy.

"Mom, please stop crying, or you will disappoint His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"I will, Mom will be happy every day from now on!"

......

The Fourth Prince's Mansion.

The Fourth Prince, who had a broken leg, lay on the bed with a grim look on his face, listening to his adviser say, "Master, don't worry. This time Chu Li is not going to relocate all the people in Xiaomei Manor. Our people will tamper with the house in their new residence. If the house collapses and the Crown Prince kills someone, what will Your Majesty do?"

The fourth prince laughed evilly, "You came up with such a bad idea, I like it very much!"

He just wanted to see Chu Li fall into crisis. It was he who asked to move. If a few people were killed when moving into the new residence, then all the responsibility would be Chu Li's!

When the time comes, he will make a big deal out of this and see if Chu Li can still be the crown prince!

The Fourth Prince narrowed his eyes and thought: The last time he set a trap for Chu Li, it ended up hurting himself. He must learn from his lesson and make sure there are no mistakes.

He hooked his finger at the counselor and whispered, "Just have them destroy one room. Too many people died. If Zhang Zhilong gets involved and finds something wrong, it will be difficult to deal with!"

"Yes, I obey!"

......

Three days later, most of the people in Xiaomeizhuang had moved out.

Chu Li came to the village and met Kong Wu.

Kong Wu stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Mei Renpin's cousin and his family are unwilling to move out. Mei Maobing is trying to persuade them, but it seems to have no effect."

“I think they did it on purpose!”

Chu Li walked forward and saw Mei's second uncle and second aunt leading the whole family to make trouble.

Second Aunt put her hands on her hips and sneered, "Mei Maobing, you are the clan leader, and you will definitely live better than us in the future. After we moved there, we still can't live as well as here, so why should we move away!"

Mei Maobing patiently explained: "My mother and I have discussed it. You can choose first, and we will live in the rest."

Aunt Mei rolled her eyes and sneered, "That shabby house is just a transition. We will build a new house later. You have the final say then. You sound nice now, but we don't know what it will be like then!"

Uncle Mei pushed Mei Maobing and said, "Get out of the way! Whoever wants to move can move, but we won't move!"

Mei Maobing staggered two steps as he pushed her and stood still, "You guys!"

"Mei Maobing, make them sign a document stating that they will never move out. I will not make it difficult for them!" Chu Li's voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

There is no need to persuade those who don't listen to advice. It is impossible to teach people.

When they really encounter something, they will be taught it all at once.

What's more, this family did it on purpose!

Uncle Mei looked at Chu Li and immediately lowered his eyes in a submissive manner.

He is Mei Renpin's cousin and originally lived a good life in Xiaomei Village.

Now they have to move away with that group of poor guys, without Mei Renpin to look after them, and the prince is targeting the Mei family. How can they have a good life after moving there!

Besides, the prince's alarmist talk about a major disaster was pure nonsense in his opinion!

Now all the poor people in the village have moved away. As long as he insists on not moving, and waits for Mei Renpin to be released, they can still be the king of Xiaomei Village!
