Dressed as the villain's stepmother

For three days in a row, Sanbao followed Jiang Lianzhu to the shop outside the hospital to serve porridge, and the rice grains distributed by the emperor were quickly consumed.

Seeing such a scene with his own eyes, Sanbao still felt very sad. Every day, refugees died of hunger and cold.

It was already noon after serving porridge, and the rice given by the emperor had been used up. After packing up the things, they went back in the carriage.

Along the way, Sanbao was in a heavy mood. The face of Baozi, who was always smiling in the past, was full of loss and sadness. Even after watching such a scene for several days, it was still painful.

For a long time, Liao Xiaoping lowered his eyes, and his finely curled eyelashes cast a shadow on his fair and tender face. His voice was low, and his tone could not hide the loss and sadness: "We are obviously giving porridge to them every day, how come there are still people?" I can’t get through it.”

It was not so hard. Ever since Sanbao saw a little baby crying on his mother who had been dead for who knows how long, it was the first time they felt the pain of separation and the pain caused by natural disasters.

And apart from distributing some food as much as possible, they can't do anything, and they can't even help everyone.

"You have done what you can. This is a natural and man-made disaster, and you cannot blame anyone." Seeing Liao Xiaoping's eyes red and looking like he was about to cry, Jiang Lianzhu touched his furry head distressedly, "Look, If we didn't give soup, more people would die every day, but we are already doing a good job."

Hearing this, Sanbao's face became less depressed.

"Suddenly I feel that the past life was actually quite good. At least I could still eat and drink, and I wouldn't be cold." Liao Xiaoping muttered with red eyes. Suddenly he felt that he was really hypocritical in the past and was just beaten by his mother. After scolding a few times and not having enough to eat, I still had a house to sleep in and wouldn't get cold. Compared to these refugees, it was nothing.

Seeing Liao Xiaoping's tight-lipped expression, Jiang Lianzhu knew what he was thinking at a glance, and felt both distressed and amused at the same time.

Jiang Lianzhu disagreed with the original owner's behavior of hitting and scolding Sanbao. No matter what, the original owner's behavior was indeed hurting his own children. He was not hurt at all, but it was naturally accepted because it was not as serious as others.

"We must have a correct perspective on things, just like the snowstorm caused many people to die in the disaster. Although some people in the capital became kind-hearted and gave soup and food to save many people's lives, the damage is certain. A fact that cannot be erased." Jiang Lianzhu patiently preached to Sanbao.

She is not afraid that the Three Treasures will hold grudges. Only they can understand many things by themselves.As for her, she only plays the most basic guiding role.

It is true that Sanbao did not fully understand, but he roughly understood what Jiang Lianzhu meant.

"I understand, mother." Liao Xiaoping rubbed his eyes, with a serious look on his face that was inappropriate for his age.

Jiang Lianzhu smiled gently, feeling helpless as she looked at the three little cubs with red, rabbit-like eyes.

Her rare tenderness and patience were given to these three little cubs. As long as they could grow up safely, know good and evil, and be sensible, she would be satisfied.

"Hu-" Suddenly, the carriage stopped without warning. Jiang Lianzhu frowned and was about to listen when she heard a clear female voice.

"Miss Jiang, our princess invites you to come over and have a chat."

Jiang Lianzhu raised her eyebrows, a little confused.She opened the curtain and took a look. Although the maid outside was in her thirties, her gentle brows exuded a touch of majesty. She was indeed Princess Xiang's personal maid.

She turned around and told Sanbao not to run around, then got out of the carriage and followed the maid into another carriage on the roadside.

"Princess Xiang is well, I wonder what the princess wants from me?" Jiang Lianzhu got on the carriage and looked at Princess Xiang, who was wearing a pink winter coat and a white fox fur.It was obvious that his body was getting better and better, and his face looked healthy and rosy.

"Lianzhu, I have been giving porridge in the city these days. I heard today that you have also set up a shop to give porridge for several days, so I came to see you for a detailed chat." Princess Xiang hurriedly held her hand Jiang Lianzhu's hand, her brows filled with a hint of sadness, "Look at these days, refugees come to the capital in large numbers, without food or water. In such weather, there are not a few people who get frostbite after receiving food. Every day Refugees die every day, but they are still living people, which makes people feel uncomfortable watching them."

She said, hesitated for a moment, and then said tentatively: "Lianzhu, I called you here because I want to ask you if you have any plans to continue giving porridge. If so, we might as well open the shop together. We, Prince Xiang’s Mansion, are responsible for making white porridge and steamed buns. How about you making some decoctions to prevent illness?” Afraid of her disapproval, Princess Xiang hurriedly added, “I won’t let you pay for it in vain. The money for this decoction will come from Let’s come out from Prince Xiang’s Mansion.”

It is indeed normal to get sick if you don't have adequate protection against cold and warmth.Generally speaking, illnesses caused by cold are not serious at all, but if you don't have enough food and can't keep warm in such a freezing environment, even minor illnesses can be fatal.

Jiang Lianzhu sighed in her heart, and after getting in touch with her, she knew that Princess Xiang was a rare kind-hearted person.This time when the refugees came to Beijing, many people set up shops to serve porridge at first. However, some people just wanted to show off and gain a good reputation for their shops or official careers. The porridge they distributed was as thin as a pot of soup. The sparse grains of rice were cooked for a day or two, and then some people took back their shops one after another, looking coldly at the corpses strewn on the ground, ignoring the shrill wails in their ears.

But there are also some people who are truly kind-hearted. However, even though the imperial court sent people down to control food prices a few days ago, and the food prices were lowered, they are still higher than before. In addition to feeding the refugees, they also need food at home. The cost of food is really too high, and it has become increasingly difficult for some people to afford this expense, so some people gradually closed their shops and could only watch the refugees sigh.

Prince Xiang's Mansion is also a big family, and the expenses are already quite large. Now he plans to work with her and let her mainly make this decoction. One day is already two days of expenses, not to mention the money for this decoction. The total It takes three days' worth of money to spend one day after getting up. Princess Xiang is indeed a rare kind-hearted person. She would rather spend so much money to save as many people as possible.

But Jiang Lianzhu didn't intend to take advantage of Princess Xiang's kindness.

She smiled slightly: "Looking at what the princess said, I think the princess's plan is very good, but I don't have to let the princess come out with my share of the money."
