Concubine's true colors

Chapter 41 Chapter 41
At noon, it is the busiest time of the day to distribute porridge and rations. Today Xiao Jinxuan came to the disaster relief shop to check with Prince Rui on the second batch of military rations. Bai Shu and Zhu Xin who came with them stayed outside to help .

It's the severe cold and the twelfth lunar month, but Bai Zhu was still busy with sweat on her head, she stretched out her hand to wipe it off, although she was tired, she still had a smile on her face.

This snow disaster claimed the lives of so many people, her dependent father died, and she was almost thrown alive to the corpse slope, so no matter how tired she was, seeing these people receive food and cotton clothes, she was very happy from the bottom of her heart .

At this time, a middle-aged woman in a floral jacket and a seven or eight-year-old child lined up in front of her. Bai Shu quickly handed her food and a bag of minced meat.

The woman took the things, especially after seeing the minced meat, the excitement on her face was hard to calm down.

"Girl, you are really good people. Not only did you give us food, but you also gave us meat for those with children. It is all thanks to you that our family can survive this winter."

Who doesn't know now, Miss Xiao's Fourth Miss pities those young children, anyone under ten years old can receive minced meat, this is not an official account, it is all subsidized by Xiao's mansion.

Bai Shu hurriedly supported the thankful woman, and said kindly: "Auntie, don't say that, it's because of my lady's kindness, it's cold, take the child back home."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to touch the child's little face, took another egg from the side, and stuffed it into the child's hand with a smile.

At this time, another old lady who had just received a bag of white noodles and green vegetables smiled and said: "Yes, Miss Si is a good person, and the Chinese New Year is only seven days away. Now we not only have rice, but also noodles and vegetables. Don't worry about it this year."

When the people around heard this, they all nodded in agreement, with expressions of joy and gratitude on their faces.

At this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly squeezed out from the crowd, and seeing that this man didn't stand in line, he walked in front of Bai Zhu with a limp leg.

"Girl, please do me a favor. I haven't tasted meat for half a year. Can you give me a bag too?"

The lame man's words immediately aroused the disgust of the surrounding people.

Nowadays, food is scarce, and meat is even more difficult to come by. Children eat it to grow their bodies, so it is too shameless for such a big person to ask for it.

Bai Shu didn't like it at first, but when she saw the middle-aged man with a limping leg, she felt sore in her heart and almost didn't shed tears.

Because her dead father, who was in Meizhuang at that time, had a leg broken in order to beg for food for her, and the man in front of him was about the same age as her father, Bai Shu immediately felt completely moved.

He brought a bag of minced meat from the side, and Bai Zhu specially brought two more pancakes, and handed them to the lame man.

"Uncle, take it and eat it. If you are hungry in the future, just come to me."

The man took the things, took a deep look at Bai Zhu, then nodded, without saying a word, directly walked over the crowd, and walked out.

Bai Shu glanced at the other person's back, smiled, turned around and continued to distribute things for others.

But before they even arrived for half a quarter of an hour, they saw the yelling of the lame man just now from the periphery of the crowd.

"I found a treasure, everyone, come and see. There is a gold ring in this minced meat. Look at how big this ring is. I've made money this time."

As soon as they heard that the gold was picked up, the people around naturally gathered around, but when they saw that the ring was actually worn on half of the finger, the crowd completely boiled.

I don't know who yelled first, "Look, there are human fingers in the minced meat donated by the Xiao family. This meat can't be human flesh."

Then this kind of talk spread uncontrollably, especially those who brought their children to get the minced meat, quickly threw away the meat, squatted on the ground and retched.

This change caught Bai Zhu and others by surprise, especially Bai Zhu, because she understood medical principles, Xiao Jinxuan even ordered her to add a few traditional Chinese medicines in order to make the minced meat more nutritious.

She watched the minced meat being made, so she naturally knew that it was all made of pork, so why has it turned into human flesh now.

Bai Shu stood up and wanted to explain, but before she could say a word, a ball of minced meat hit her on the face.

"I said, why did you give me the meat as soon as I begged for it? It turns out that your Xiao family is doing business without capital, and you are giving away the flesh of dead people. Your hearts are too dark."

Bai Shu was completely dumbfounded, looking at the crippled man who was pointing at her nose and scolding in disbelief, she just fed him so kindly, but now, what she got in return was humiliation and wronged.

Seeing Bai Shu like this, the people around thought she was speechless, and there were still people in the crowd who were always adding to the flames.

For a moment, the voices of the people were boiling, and everyone angrily threw the things in their hands at Bai Shu and the others.

But at this moment, a melodious and solemn voice sounded. "The Lord of Yuanning County has arrived"

Then I saw Qian Yingluo walking over with a light gait and a noble air.

When she came to the front of the crowd, she frowned and looked around

"The county lord is here to collect donations today, but looking at the current appearance, it seems that something happened."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the lame man kneeling on the ground immediately

"County Master Mingcha, you have to decide for the little ones. The Xiao family said it was donating minced meat, but this meat turned out to be human flesh. It doesn't matter if I die, but this minced meat is given to children under ten years old. Such a small Children, how can they eat dead human flesh?"

His words were like a fuse, the one who brought the children here, who hadn't been given the minced meat for many days, thought of their own children eating dead human flesh, how could they calm down.

They all fell to their knees, crying and shouting, asking Qian Yingluo, the county magistrate, to give them justice.

Seeing this, Bai Shu was anxious, and immediately knelt down in front of Qian Yingluo, and argued, "The county magistrate is wronged, all we use is pork, how could it be dead human flesh, please uphold justice."

She stayed by Xiao Jinxuan's side lately, so naturally she didn't know that the county magistrate had a grudge against that young lady of her family, and now she begged Qian Yingluo to be innocent, it was no different from a sheep in a tiger's mouth.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Qian Yingluo secretly winked at Yazhi, the maid beside her, who immediately understood.

Then I saw Yazhi walking in front of Baishu, with a cold expression on her face, she raised her hand and slapped the other person twice.

"You mean thing, the county lord knows who is real and who is fake, do you still need to teach me? You are so eager to defend yourself, I think you must have a guilty conscience."

This is called the crime of wanting to add, there is no reason to worry about it.In other words, who made her Xiao Jinxuan's maid, so no matter what she said, it was wrong for Qian Yingluo.

Just as Yazhi waved her hand and was about to fight, Wenxin rushed out and grabbed the opponent's hand directly.

Backed by Qian Yingluo, Yazhi immediately reprimanded: "You don't get out of the way, be careful not to offend the county magistrate, and beat you too."

Although Wenxin didn't know about the grievances between Qian Yingluo and Xiao Jinxuan, but he had always been exquisite, and he could tell at a glance that the county lord was not a good person.

Knowing that he can't fight head-on, he said with a smile: "What this elder sister said is true, but now His Highness Prince Rui is in the shop, if you fight here, if His Highness bumps into it, I'm afraid it will be bad."

After finishing speaking, he didn't give Qian Yingluo and others a chance to react, and immediately shouted to Zhu Xin: "Why are you still standing there, something happened here, hurry up and inform the prince."

On Qian Yingluo's haughty face, she was flustered when she heard the words Prince Rui, but soon she calmed down again.

So what about Prince Rui, this round and that Ji Lingfeng's clothes are seamless, all the witnesses and material evidences are complete, Xiao Jinxuan, you little bitch, you are doomed this time.

Thinking of this, she waved her hand, "Forget it, Yazhi, come back, the county lord will not bother with her for a little beast who doesn't know the rules, but today, since the county lord has met her, Naturally, we must uphold justice and give you an explanation."

Cousin of the Sixth Prince can say, as long as she is willing to make such a move today, she will ask the Second Highness to help her after she returns, and her marriage with Yu Wang will definitely be facilitated. When she thinks of Zhou Xianyu, her heart flutters, and she makes up her mind Determined, no matter what, I want to make this play more beautiful.

And Xiao Jinxuan, who was still ignorant of the above, was checking the bill with Prince Rui.

After working all morning, Xiao Jinxuan was also exhausted, she stretched a little rashly, and she let out a long breath.

"Judging from the current food reserves, it is more than a mistake to persist for two months. Now that the snow has stopped, as long as the remaining snow is cleared, most of the snow trouble will be gone."

Prince Rui also nodded in relief: "Yes, it's just that there is too much snow, especially the snow on the houses, it is extremely difficult to remove, it is very difficult."

Xiao Jinxuan laughed when she heard the words, "It's actually not difficult. Your Highness may not know that salt can melt snow, and the snow on the house can be melted naturally with salt."

Hearing this, Zhou Xianrui was taken aback for a moment, and then showed joy. The problem of hard snow accumulation had troubled him for many days. Today, he never expected that it would be solved so easily.

"If the fourth lady's method is feasible, then you have really helped me a lot. It turns out that the young lady is not only good at strategizing, but also so knowledgeable. Xianrui admires it."

Xiao Jinxuan just smiled and didn't say much. In fact, she didn't think of this. It was just the snow disaster in her previous life. Three months later, someone presented this method. Now she just copied it and explained it in advance.

Just when the two of them were still negotiating the details, Zhu Xin ran in anxiously from outside with a head full of rice noodles and vegetable leaves.

"Miss, you should go outside and have a look, something has happened."

Xiao Jinxuan looked Zhu Xin up and down a few times, just from the other person's current appearance, she also knew that this matter might be quite serious.

"What's the matter, speak slowly, don't worry."

Zhu Xin took a few breaths, and then said: "Miss, someone has falsely accused us that our minced meat is made of dead human flesh, and the county head has also come and beat Atractylodes, and now he is standing outside, threatening to ask us for money." He even said that he wanted to give justice to the people surrounding him.”

Xiao Jinxuan didn't care about anything else, but when she heard that Bai Shu had been beaten, she couldn't sit still.

"How about Baishu, where is the injury? Knowing that the comer is not good, why not avoid the edge, but ask for trouble."

If her people want to be punished, she can only be punished, how can they allow others to take half of it.

Ever since she was reborn and came back, Xiao Jinxuan has become extremely defensive. It may be that she was bullied ruthlessly in her previous life. What she hates the most now is the people close to her being bullied.

Qian Yingluo, after waiting for many days, I knew that the sixth prince was going to make a move, but I didn't expect that it would be you who was sent to take the lead.

Those who dare to touch her should also see the consequences, will you bear it too!
