After escaping from marriage, Master National Teacher is anxious

Chapter 187 Is what the nine princesses said true?
"Princess Nine, please help the servants. The magistrate said that if Miss Lou loses a pound, he will cut us a pound. We tried everything, but the eldest lady can't even get good white rice. Neither porridge nor ragout."

"That's right, Princess Ninth, only you can help us now. We know that you are a kind person just like the national teacher. Please ask the national teacher to save us!"

"Ninth princess, save us!"

The maids burst into tears all at once, one crying more miserable than the other, and one of them had a large burn on her hand, saying that when Lou Yingying lost her temper, she poured hot porridge on her hand.

It was really something that Lou Yingying was capable of doing. Back then, in order to enter the National Teacher's Mansion and to cook rice with the national teacher's students, even Xiao was fooled without realizing it.

Wen Man took out a box of ointment that can cure burns from the medicine bag, "You can use this, and leave the matter of Lou Yingying to me. Such a simple matter does not require the help of the national teacher."

When the servant girls heard this, they quickly knelt down and thanked: "Thank you Ninth Princess!"

"Get up." Wen Man took out a bottle of drug from the medicine bag, thinking that if Lou Yingying didn't listen, she could only use some extreme means.

The inn is not far from the Fuya, just a short walk away. There are several guest rooms in the backyard of the Fuya. Lou Yingying lives in the one on the south side. Compared with the other rooms, this one is relatively spacious and bright, but compared to Lou Mansion, this room is not even as good as a servant's room.

When Wen Man entered the room, Lou Yingying was squatting on the open space, her face seemed to be in pain, when she approached, she heard a small cry for help.

"Help her to the bed quickly." Wen Man said to the maids behind her. After they helped Lou Yingying to lie down on the bed, she began to give Lou Yingying her pulse. This pulse really convinced her, Lou Yingying She actually made her sick from starvation.

"Lou Yingying, you don't have to choose this way of death if you want to die. If you don't eat or drink, how many days will it take you to die?" Wen Man hurriedly asked the maid to bring a bowl of porridge.

Lou Yingying said in a lively manner: "Father said that once a person faints from hunger, everything tastes delicious."

Wen Man really had nothing to say, "Then you plan to starve yourself for a few days, eat a full meal, and then eat a meal for a few more days?"

"Yes."

"Then do you know how much root disease your method will bring to you? Once you eat something you shouldn't eat, you will be in unbearable pain. If you eat too much, you will eat less, just like now. It’s a good cure, maybe it will accompany you for the rest of your life, but you can only watch when others are eating happily.” Wen Man took out the silver needle and relieved her pain first.

A layer of sweat oozed from Lou Yingying's forehead, the servant girl was startled, and quickly wiped her with a handkerchief.

She didn't even have the strength to speak now, she was just panting hard.

After a while, the white porridge came, but Lou Yingying only drank a few mouthfuls before she started to vomit.

"Look, you've tossed your body to pieces, and you're the one who suffers." Wen Man said to the servant girl, "No matter how many times she vomits, feed her this bowl of porridge, and then go to decoct the medicine. , don’t give her anything else to eat.”

One of the servant girls responded: "Yes, Princess Nine, I'm going to decoct the medicine right now."

Lou Yingying vomited, vomited, and when a bowl of porridge came down, her whole face was as pale as a snowflake that just fell on the ground in winter, as if it would shatter if squeezed lightly.

"Princess Nine, will Miss Lou get better?" The servant girl was a little worried. The magistrate said that if Miss Lou lost a catty, they would have to cut off a catty of their flesh. , so how many of them can still survive?

Wen Man comforted: "Don't worry, do as I say, she will get better."

"Thank you, Princess Nine."

Looking at Lou Yingying lying on the bed, Wen Man sat down beside her, "This Los Angeles city is indeed very bitter, let alone you, even I, a princess who grew up in a cold palace and never had a good life At first, I was not used to it, but your body is your own, you have to think carefully about whether you want to adapt to the life here, or continue to struggle."

"Ninth princess also drinks plain porridge? Eat those deadly potatoes?" Although Lou Yingying was still suffering, she had some strength to speak.

Wen Man shook her head, "When I first came here, how could I have a meal of porridge to drink? The water shortage here is terrible, and the water for cooking is very scarce for the common people. Swallowing it raw one bite at a time, the food I cooked for you is already the best that the magistrate can offer."

"Really?" Lou Yingying sobbed softly, "But I just can't swallow it, the porridge is bland and tasteless, and the potatoes are stuffy and choking"

"Get up, I'll take you somewhere." Wen Man felt that she had a heart disease. If she didn't get cured, she wouldn't be able to realize the hard-won food in her heart. Even if she recovered, she would still continue to struggle.

Lou Yingying wailed, "It hurts!"

Wen Man pretended not to hear, and asked a maid to prepare the carriage, and then she and another maid helped Lou Yingying onto the carriage.

Wen Man asked Ah Si to drive, and took Lou Yingying around the poorest places in Los Angeles. The people in those places, as long as they were in their prime, went to repair canals during the day, and the people who stayed were old, weak, women and children. Catch up with the fire cooking in every household, and the men are not at home, so they eat worse than usual.

Lou Yingying had a sore nose, "Why is there such a poor place in Diyun Kingdom? My father and brother said that with their presence, the common people can live and work in peace and contentment. When I went to the military camp that day, I just wanted to wash off my sweat. Lack of water."

"The people in Los Angeles are suffering like this, most of it is because of your father and brother. The two of them and Uzi have colluded with each other for a long time. They pretended to be fighting twice in three days, and then turned around and collected post-war supplies from the people, so that the people would not be killed. Displaced, I have to save money and give them money to buy the safety of Los Angeles." Wen Man really hated the Lou family, and the Lou family was broken from top to bottom.

After hearing this, Lou Yingying sat up straight all of a sudden, and she didn't know where she got the strength to hold Wen Man's arm tightly, "Is what the nine princesses said true?"

"What did I lie to you? If your father and brother's hands are clean, you can have such a good life in the capital? Your Lou family is just the family of generals. How could Queen Lou have so much money in her hands? If it wasn't for you and Uzi Collusion, how could the father restrain the feet of the two of them?"

Lou Yingying sat up straight and collapsed, sobbing intermittently, there was no trace of blood on her originally pale face, and she kept repeating in her mouth: How could this happen.

She is already 13 years old, and she understands everything she should know, but the beautiful illusion she experienced has all collapsed at once, and no one can easily accept it, but who can blame these?The blame is to blame her for being in Lou's family, having an aunt like Queen Lou, and a father and brother like that.
