Xie Jingrui sensed something. He half-knelt in front of Emperor Hexu, took his old hand, and softened his voice unconsciously. "Father, the wedding is already being prepared. I will do it as soon as possible. If those refugees are properly settled this time, our wedding with Yue'er can be completed sooner."

"Father, please take care of yourself. I am still waiting for you to hug your little granddaughter again."

There was a little more light in Hexudi's gray eyes. He moved his mouth and felt that he might not be able to wait that long this time.

But when he saw Xie Jingrui's eyes full of expectation, he swallowed back the unlucky words.

He raised his hand and gently patted Xie Jingrui on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Father will wait for you."

"Go ahead and settle those refugees as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Before leaving, Xie Jingrui asked Eunuch Li about Emperor Hexu's health condition.

After hearing this, his face looked a little unhappy; "Take good care of father."

Xie Jingrui gave some instructions and left.

Afterwards, he quietly placed his trusted Imperial Guards around Emperor Hexu.

After Xie Jingrui came out of the palace, he went to the porridge distribution site designated by the government, which was in the west city, not far from the farm where Liu Yueru lived.

The location was chosen in the first place because it was convenient for Liu Yueru to come back and help.

The refugees lived in an abandoned military camp not far from West City. On the first day, the items inside were not very complete.

Everyone just made do with it for one night.

It is still a bit chilly in autumn now. Liu Yueru searched out a lot of quilts and clothes from the house and sent them to where the refugees were.

She stood in front and said to those people, "These are all the things we have. Take care of the children first. More will be delivered tomorrow. Don't worry."

No one had much objection to this.

Liu Yueru ordered the servants to wrap the quilt tightly around the baby in the cradle first.

The remaining lists and clothes will be distributed to the remaining people.

Just when the things were almost distributed, a dissatisfied voice of a woman was heard in the crowd: "There are so many people, but not so many gifts. All the good things are taken by those with babies. Are we not human beings? Are our lives not important?"

"You housekeepers in Kyoto are well-dressed and well-fed. If you are willing to bring a few more quilts here, there are not that many of us, and there is enough for each of us to have one. Why should we be so accommodating?"

After the other party finished speaking, the crowd who originally had no objection also followed suit and started to make a fuss.

Liu Yueru's face froze. She had indeed asked someone else to deliver those beddings, but the quantity they requested was so large that they couldn't be delivered in time. It would take another two days for the delivery.

After hearing what the other party said, Liu Yueru's eyes turned cold, and she looked at the woman and said, "How do you know if we have bought new bedding? Since you don't need them, then give the robe you are wearing to others who need it more."

Liu Yueru gave Mu Dong a look, and Mu Dong understood. He stepped forward and snatched the robe covering her body.

Throw it to the servants and distribute this robe to others.

Seeing this, the woman was furious and started to curse at Liu Yueru, "That was given to me. What right do you have to take it away? It's so cold, do you want us to freeze to death?"

Liu Yueru was so angry that she laughed. "It's not my fault that you are like this now. It cost us real money to give you porridge, bedding and clothes. The food reserves in Kyoto are not very good now. You came to Kyoto to find a way to overcome the difficulties together, not to stir up trouble."

She cast a cold gaze on the woman and continued, "Do you think you can have enough to eat and sleep warmly without us? Or do you think you need to rebuild your house and put soft cushions on it? Do you want a few more people to help you sleep?"

When the woman heard about such a life, she felt happy instantly, because she was originally a shrew in the village.

He refused to listen to Liu Yueru's words.

Now that I'm full and have strength, I start thinking about finding something to do.

"It's not impossible. If each of us can be treated like this, our life will not be in vain. I would like to thank you in advance, young lady."

Liu Yueru's face darkened instantly; "I'll satisfy you over there."

Lixia stood up and walked to the woman with a dark face.

Only then did the woman realize something was wrong.

But Lixia had already led her out.

The woman was a little scared and shouted, "I, I won't go out. I won't go anywhere. I'll stay here."

She reached out to others for help, but at this time, everyone was disgusted by her behavior.

They all turned their faces away.

The woman cursed those people fiercely, "You have no conscience. I asked them for the money for your own good, but now you are watching me being bullied. This is really unjust."

"Throw it out!" Liu Yueru shouted coldly without disguising her feelings.

Several old women came up and dragged the trouble-making woman out.

"You, you will be punished by God for treating me like this." the woman said angrily.

"Ah!" A scream followed.

The woman was unwilling and wanted to rush inside.

Then Xie Jingrui came with his troops.

The eyes were icy cold.

Xie Jingrui saw clearly everything the woman did just now.

When the woman saw Xie Jingrui coming, she immediately pretended to be bullied, knelt down in front of Xie Jingrui, and wailed, "Sir, help me, the young lady inside wants to freeze me to death, and she won't let me live in here. This is a place granted to us by the emperor, what right does a woman like her have to throw me out?"

"Sir, please go in and arrest that vicious person."

Xie Jingrui did not expose the other party, but his eyes were filled with chills; "Madam Liu was the first person to open the pot of porridge for free, and the first person to distribute all the usable bedding and clothes in the mansion to everyone. Is this a great act of kindness? How come you have made her an unforgivable person in your mouth?"

Seeing that Xie Jingrui didn't believe her, the woman wailed even harder, "Really, sir, she is just pretending to build a good reputation for herself. She must be doing this to make some young master pay attention to her. Otherwise, why would she come to a place like this and join in the fun?"

Xie Jingrui raised his sword-like eyebrows slightly, said "oh", and then asked; "Then how do you think we should deal with her in this matter?"

Seeing Xie Jingrui standing on her side, the woman couldn't help but look a little smug. "In my opinion, such a hypocritical person should be sent to a labor camp for a period of time, and then given ten big beatings to warn future generations and make her infamous!"

Liu Yueru heard the conversation between the two people clearly. When she came out, her eyes fell on Xie Jingrui meaningfully.

Then, he bowed slightly.

When the woman was about to see Liu Yueru being punished by Xie Jingrui, she saw Xie Jingrui step forward with a gentle look and help her up.
