"No, I must teach them a lesson today. They're too rude!" Pei Moning was struggling to free himself from Yang Zijin.

"Brother, we came to offer food for others. We shouldn't make troubles. It would be more appropriate for the infanta to deal with this!" Runyu said!

After listening to this, Pei Moning gave up and said to Yang Zijin, "Be careful!"

"Don't worry, brother. It's okay!" Yang Zijin walked a few steps forward.

She stood behind the crowd and shouted, "Behave yourself! How dare you take away my belongings!"

Hearing that, the crowd turned around to look at Yang Zijin!

Xian finally relieved after hearing Yang Zijin's voice!

The crowd voluntarily made way for Yang Zijin. She walked through them!

Luo Jin hurriedly bowed to Yang Zijin and said, "I don't know that these things belong to Your Highness. Please forgive me!"

"What's your name?" Yang Zijin asked.

Luo Jin lowered his head and said, "My name is Luo Jin. I'm the city gate guard here!"

"I just heard someone was despising me. I wonder if that man is you?" Yang Zijin got close to Luo Jin and asked him with a snort.

Luo Jin was so scared that his eyes dodged, "I... I... dare not. If I had known that these things belong to Your Highness, I would not have dared to touch it!"

"I hope it's true. Out of generosity, I don't care about it anymore. But I'd like to ask you for a favor. I wonder if you would like to agree?" Yang Zijin felt satisfied with his answer and she stood up straight and said to him.

Luo Jin said quickly, "Please let me know what's the matter. If I can help, I will spare no effort!"

"You don't need to go all out. Just tell your men to put these two pots in the right place!" Yang Zijin pointed to the two big pots on the ground and said.

Luo Jin looked surprised after hearing this, "Ah..."

"Hurry up!" Yang Zijin said. She couldn't help smiling when she saw Luo Jin's expression.

Luo Jin hurriedly responded, "Okay, I'm going now."

"Why are you still stand there! Didn't you hear what the infanta said? Hurry up!" Luo Jin then shouted at the men behind him.

Pei Moning, who stood behind the crowd, couldn't help but laugh. He thought that his sister was a downy bird.

Runyu also smiled.

Soon, two big pots were put in the right place.

Luo Jin ran to Yang Zijin and said, "Your Highness, it's okay!"

"Well, good. You can go back now." Yang Zijin nodded with satisfaction after seeing it.

Luo Jin bowed to Yang Zijin again, "Thank you for your graciousness."

He was about to take his men away but heard Yang Zijin said, "Wait for a moment."

"What else can I do for you?" Luo Jin quickly stopped and turned around.

Yang Zijin walked up to him and asked, "Is there water nearby?"

"There is a well not far from the west of the city gate!" Luo Jin said quickly.

Yang Zijin said, "Okay, please fetch me some water here!"

Then she turned around and walked towards the victims!

Pei Moning tittered and thought that his sister was so tricky.

Luo Jin then took his men to get buckets to fetch water!

Luo Jin was miserable. He was just a gate guard. Why should these unlucky things have fallen on him?

If Young Master Lan knew that he not only didn't stop them but also helped them place the pots, how should he explain for that?

But he didn't dare to say "no" to the infanta.

He was now in a dilemma, which made him feel helpless!

Yang Zijin walked up to the victims and looked at them. She began to be suspicious of Young Master Lan, the man Luo Jin had mentioned!

Why did he not allow these victims to enter the city and didn't offer them food? He even called these victims rioters!

What's the reason?

From what Luo Jin said to Xian just now, she guessed that they just wanted to intimidate people, and didn't mean to arrest them!

There was a catch in it!

Yang Zijin said to the victims, "Don't be afraid. I'm Infanta Qingcheng. Please line up in order. Don't scramble for the food. There is enough food for you!"

When they heard there was something to eat, these victims became happy!

"Xian, distribute the steamed buns to them. If it is not enough, go to the city to buy more!" Yang Zijin said to Xian, who was standing behind her.

After hearing this, Xian pushed the cart with steamed buns to the victims! "Please line up. The food is enough for you."

The victims stood up quickly when they saw the steamed buns.

They vied to gather in front of the cart. The situation was out of control!

Seeing this, Pei Moning hurried forward to maintain order!

But no one listened to him. They could only see the food!

Seeing this, Yang Zijin was not surprised because she knew that these victims had not eaten anything for a long time!

She suddenly saw a little girl crying loudly in the middle of the crowd. Perhaps she was crying because she had never seen such a scene or she couldn't get food!

Yang Zijin took a steamed bun and walked forward. She crouched down and said to the little girl, "This is for you!"

The little girl saw the steamed bun in Yang Zijin's hand. She grabbed it and gulped it!

"Slow down. Don't worry! We still have a lot here." Yang Zijin said to the little girl.

The little girl ate the steamed bun in a few bites and didn't forget to say "Thank you!" to Yang Zijin.

"What's your name?" Yang Zijin thought that although the little girl looked dirty, she was educated well by her parents.

The little girl replied, "My name is Yue."

"Yue, where's your family?" Yang Zijin then asked.

After hearing this, Yue became sad, "They are all dead!"

Then, her eyes reddened and were filled with tears!

Yang Zijin was sympathetic to the little girl.

The little girl was eight or nine years old. Now it was the age of being loved by her parents, but now she walked to the imperial city alone with these victims. She must be a strong-minded girl!

But now, under this situation, she had no family to rely on. If she was abducted by a bad guy, her life would be ruined!

After thinking for a moment, Yang Zijin stood up and said to Yue, "Would you like to live with me in the future?"

"Do you mean that I can follow you?" The little girl looked at Yang Zijin with her shining eyes.

Hearing this, Yang Zijin asked, "Don't you want to follow me?"

"You gave me food. You're a good person. I'd like to follow you!" She nodded again and again, trying to hold Yang Zijin's hand with her dirty little hands. Then she realized that her hands were dirty, so she gave up!

Yang Zijin was amused by her response. She took Yue's hand and said, "Come here. Follow me."

Then she took Yue towards the carriage!

This happened to be seen by Runyu, who was shocked. For a moment, he thought that Yang Zijin seemed to be Wanchu. Her move and even her expressions were the same as Wanchu. She was as kind as Wanchu!

Although he knew that this person in front of him was not Wanchu, he couldn't help but look at her a few more times!

Pei Moning was sitting outside the carriage and saw Yang Zijin taking a little girl toward him.

"What are you going to do with her?" Pei Moning asked confusedly.

Pei Moning, who found that the crowd could only see the food and didn't pay attention to his words, went back and sat outside the carriage. He just looked over there and thought that as long as no one made trouble, he would let them go.

Yang Zijin smiled and replied, "I want to take care of this little girl!"

"What? You want to take care of her! Tomorrow is your wedding day, you... you... this is..." Pei Moning jumped off the carriage after hearing this!

Seeing this, Yue was somewhat scared, and she got a little closer to Yang Zijin.

Yang Zijin interrupted Pei Moning, "Brother, you scared Yue!"

"Yue, get on the carriage and wait for me for a moment, okay?" Yang Zijin then held Yue's shoulder and looked at her.

"Okay." Yue looked at Pei Moning, and then nodded to Yang Zijin!

Seeing that, Yang Zijin carried her into the carriage!

Then Pei Moning asked Yang Zijin in a low voice, "You want to take care of this girl. Are you serious?"

"Yes!" Yang Zijin answered firmly.

Pei Moning then said. "You need to think twice. Tomorrow is your wedding day. If you bring a child with you, Marquis Shuo won't..."

"Brother, don't worry about it. I won't bring her tomorrow. I will arrange everything!" Yang Zijin knew that Pei Moning was worrying about her, but she had already thought of the right place for Yue.

Pei Moning continued to ask, "Did her parents agree that you take her away?"

"Her parents died on the way here. She got here together with these victims. That's why I want to take her in!" Yang Zijin said, turning around and looking at these victims!

Pei Moning nodded solemnly after hearing this, "That explains it!"

The porridge was already cooked. After eating the steamed buns, these victims were obviously much better than before. The situation was under well control. They lined up to get the porridge orderly.

Runyu, standing aside in a white robe, untainted by the vulgar world, watched these victims with sadness in his eyes!

While receiving the porridge, the victims didn't forget to say, "Your Highness, you're really a good person!"

They squatted down to eat the porridge!

Yang Zijin walked over and asked a man sitting in front of her, with his eyes sunken in his face, "Where did you come from? Why did you come here?"

"We are all from Jiandu. The dam was destroyed, so the village was destroyed by floods, and the rice that was about to mature was also ruined! Many people died. We had no place to go. So we come here!" The man said.

Yang Zijin was full of confusion after hearing this and then asked, "What about the local officials? Didn't they come to deal with that? Or report it to the court?"

"Local officials! They all tried to avoid trouble! How could you expect that they would report it to the court? We went to these officials and asked them to find a solution, but they either beat us or scolded us. After the flood, livestock were drowned, and some people were infected with diseases. We had nowhere to go. So we came here to report this to the imperial court. But they even tried to kill us on the way." The man choked up as he said!

Yang Zijin squatted down and said, "You can speak slowly."
