Chapter 261 Flying Pigeon Passing Letters

Qianhuan did not go to bed immediately. She kept thinking about what the third prince of Canglang Kingdom said, and always felt that someone would do something bad to Ziyu.

She said to Leng Feng Leng Yu, "You should have a way to keep in touch with the prince, right?"

"Yes, Prince An's Mansion has special carrier pigeons, and the subordinates use carrier pigeons to send letters to the prince."

"Don't tell the prince about what happened tonight for now. I don't want him to be distracted by worrying about me. I'm going to write a letter now, and you can use a carrier pigeon to send it to the prince immediately."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, County Master."

Qianhuan asked Yinhua to find paper and pen, and then immediately wrote a letter at the desk.

After the writing was dry, she handed the letter to Leng Feng and repeatedly reminded him, "You must hand it to the prince as quickly as possible."

Leng Feng took the letter and said, "Don't worry, County Lady. I will go back to Prince An's Mansion to deliver the letter immediately. The prince will receive it soon."

"Ah."

After sending the letter, Qianhuan felt a little relieved. She prayed in her heart that Ziyu would complete the mission of suppressing bandits smoothly and return.

The next day, the prince received a letter from Qianhuan, in which Qianhuan said, "Ziyu, I am a little uneasy about your going to suppress the bandits this time, fearing that some villains might be plotting evil against you. Please be careful and cautious. I hope you return safely. I love you!"

Qianhuan drew a heart at the end of the letter. When the prince saw the letter, he knew that Qianhuan was worried about him and was very happy.

Especially when he saw the love heart on the letter, he couldn't help but grinning.

The generals following the prince couldn't help gossiping when they saw this. "This is the first time I see our general giggling while reading a letter. I wonder what's written in the letter?"

Another general said, "I heard that it was a letter from Princess Jingrou. Our general is naturally happy to see the letter."

"This Lady Jingrou is really amazing. She managed to take down our cold-faced general with ease. It looks like our general will be able to get married soon."

The next day, Qianhuan wrote a letter to her family, in which she told them about her becoming a county lady and some trivial matters in the capital.

It was seven or eight days later that Liang Laoer and Liu received the letter. They learned from the person who read the letter that Qianhuan had been conferred the title of County Princess by the Emperor. The couple were so excited that they cried.

Everyone in the village knew about this, and they all came to Liang Laoer's house to congratulate him and try to get close to him.

Some villagers who didn't understand couldn't help but ask, "How high of an official position is the county lord? Is she higher than our county magistrate?"

The village chief, Old Man Hu, said, "The county lady is naturally older than the county magistrate. The county magistrate is just a ninth-rank official, while the county lady is a second-rank official, second only to the county lady and princess."

The villagers were immediately excited, and everyone congratulated them, "Liang Laoer, Liu, congratulations to you. I always thought that your Qianhuan was a person with great potential, but I didn't expect that she would become a county lord in one leap."

The village women who used to laugh at Liu for not being able to give birth to a son quickly changed their tone and flattered her, "Liu, your daughter is worth several sons. Your family is now very successful. Don't forget us, the villagers, in the future."

"Yes, yes. Our Yunfeng Village actually has a county lady. This is really a great joyous event."

Old man Liang regretted his decision at this time. He had hoped all his life that someone from the Liang family would bring honor to the family. However, Liang Wenzhi, whom he treated like a treasure, not only failed to pass the examination to become a student, but later became addicted to gambling.

Now Liang Wenzhi has dropped out of school and stayed at home, but he has become a lazy man who never helps with the farm work at home and only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.

When Old Mrs. Liang heard the news, she was so angry that she vomited blood. Their Liang family had produced a promising person, but unfortunately he had nothing to do with them now.

After Liang Wenyong separated from the family, he helped Qianhuan manage the soy sauce workshop, and his life with Zhaodi became more and more prosperous.

Zhaodi's family came to her house several times, wanting Liang Wenyong to get Zhaodi's younger brother Wang Fuman to work in the soy sauce workshop.

Fortunately, Zhaodi was a clear-headed person. She knew what kind of person her brother was and refused to agree no matter what. The Wang family was also very angry with Wang Zhaodi.

But Wang Zhaodi had long since let it go. When she was at her parents' home, her parents loved her younger brother even more. They gave all the delicious food to her younger brother Wang Fuming, and let her do all the dirty and tiring work.

Now that she has found such a good husband as Liang Wenyong, and has such a good cousin as Qianhuan to help them, she will not worry about those heartless people.

With just one sentence, "A married girl is like spilled water," the Wang family was sent away.

Now that they knew Qianhuan had been conferred the title of County Lady, Liang Wenyong and Zhaodi were genuinely happy for her.

Liang Laoer and Liu asked the servants to pour hot tea for everyone and responded to everyone with a smile.

After everyone had finally left, Liu quickly said to Liang Lao Er, "Her father, let's have someone write a letter to our daughter, and also let her know about Qianhuan's bedroom being robbed a few days ago."

"Okay, Chunxiang, I'll have someone write a reply and send it to the capital."

It was seven or eight days later that Qianhuan received the letter. Liang Laoer had someone write for him, filling up four or five pages with a long, rambling letter. The letter was all about the latest news at home and things happening in the village, such as who had a new baby and who got married.

Finally, Liang Laoer wrote in the letter about the robbery in Qianhuan's house. He wrote, "Qianhuan, our house and the teahouse in the county town have been robbed. The thieves were really bold. They actually rummaged through the rooms and made a mess. Moreover, the thieves only stole things from the room where you lived. The room was messy, but after your mother and I cleaned up and counted, it seemed that nothing was missing. Your mother and I were worried, so we decided to raise a big wolf dog at home. If a thief dares to come again in the future, as long as he approaches the yard, we will know when the dog barks."

After Qianhuan knew about this, her first reaction was that this must have been done by someone sent by the third prince of the Canglang Kingdom.

I guess he must have found out my address in the old house and then sent someone to look for a map. No wonder he came to my room at night last time to ask for a map. He must have searched all the places I had lived in but couldn't find the map.

It seems that the map I picked up is very important to the third prince of the Canglang Kingdom. Fortunately, I dug a hole under the bed and hid the thing in the hole, otherwise it would have been found and taken away by them long ago.

When the prince comes back, she must tell him about this. Presumably, the prince should know the secret of the map.
