Chapter 101: The Vanishing Benefactor
The child's mother shook her head and said, "Since I found out that Xiaobao had pox, the benefactor left some silver money and never came again." β
"How does it compare to before?" Xue Jinyi asked again, "Have you not appeared for so long?" β
The child's mother thought for a moment and shook her head again, "No." So everyone is worried about whether something happened to the benefactor, but we don't know who his surname is or where he comes from. β
They also don't know that the masked man is really mysterious...... Xue Jinyi touched his chin, the more mysterious he was, the more mysterious he was, it meant that he was hiding his true identity and leaving no clues for people to notice.
She vaguely felt as if she was missing something, but it felt like an ethereal smoke, and she couldn't hold on to it, and she couldn't remember it.
The child's mother was still talking, "...... After we arrived at the Land Temple, we inquired with others, and it turned out that the benefactor had not only saved our group of people, but we had not seen the benefactor recently, and I really didn't know where he had gone. β
Uncle Zhang, who came over to listen to their speeches, sighed: "I think the benefactor is a person who loves hoeing the strong and helping the weak, and fighting grievances, maybe he sees that we finally have a court here, so he went to other places to help the weak and pitiful?" β
"That's just as well." The child's mother said: "I hope the benefactor is safe, he will be happy for us knowing that the court is kind and arranges a place for us to eat, drink and live." β
Xue Jinyi smiled and nodded, "Let's go and rest, I still have something to do." β
Uncle Zhang asked curiously, "Miss, who are you?" β
Xue Jinyi didn't have to hide her identity like the masked man, and said generously: "I am the fiancΓ©e of the King of Chu and the eldest daughter of the Duke of Weiguo. The eldest princess came forward to preside over the resettlement of refugees, and I was fortunate to have the eldest princess's trust and assisted with the relevant matters together with His Royal Highness the King of Chu. β
A few people, you look at me, I look at you, and then hurry up to salute her.
Xue Jinyi motioned to Qinglan and Qingzhi who came with him to support the refugees, "You don't have to be polite, you don't have to be polite now, your body is still empty, you can recuperate in the past few days, and you can have the strength to run a new life with your own hands, right?" β
Her kind appearance won the favor and love of everyone, although she did not salute, but after thanking her again and again, she dispersed.
Xue Jinyi looked at the crowd and sighed inexplicably, when she turned around, she found that the King of Chu had finished talking to the household officials at some point, and was standing not far from her, staring at her.
She wasn't sure what the King of Chu had heard their conversation, but it didn't matter if she did, no one knew the identity of the masked man, and the masked man did good things.
Xue Jinyi coughed lightly, planning to ask the household officials if they needed help.
"Stop." The king of Chu called to stop her.
Xue Jinyi pursed her lips, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, we are not here to enjoy the mountains and rivers. β
"I know." King Chu walked up to her slowly, completely blocking her way, "What were you talking about just now?" β
"Just a few small talks." Xue Jinyi prevaricated: "There is a benefactor who has helped them, but he hasn't appeared for a few days, and everyone is a little worried. β
"Benefactor?" King Chu looked at Xue Jinyi's face, "You also know?" β
"Right?" Xue Jinyi waved her hand like a fly, trying to drive the King of Chu away, "Is there any problem?" β
King Chu said: "As your fiancΓ©, of course there is a problem. β
"Poof," Xue Jinyi seemed to be amused, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, you won't be jealous, right?" β
King Chu raised his eyebrows, "Yes, I'm just jealous." β
...... If it weren't for the people around her, Xue Jinyi would definitely laugh unscrupulously, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, you won't be like this in order to trap me, right?" β
"So, now Miss Xue can talk about what she has to do with this person?" King Chu asked slowly.
Xue Jinyi's face immediately turned cold, "It doesn't matter if you have a one-sided relationship." β
What can she have to do with Masked Man? He kindly helped the refugees, she didn't want to care about anything else at all - the masked man was secretive and refused to say anything, what was her hot face and cold ass?
"Oh."
King Chu didn't see anything unusual on his face, she pondered for a moment, bypassed him and went to find the household official.
She has only learned a lot of things from books or scripts, and there are still many deficiencies in the actual application of details, in this strange world, there is no harm in learning more and watching more.
Even if there is no backer of the eldest princess one day, no annoying spirit like King Chu, and no villains like Mrs. Xue, she can live a rich life happily.
She followed the household officials to watch the distribution of materials for a while, and looked up coldly to find that the king of Chu was gone.
Where did the king of Chu go, she couldn't be annoyed, and then saw two men in their thirties dressed as monks hurrying over.
"There is a group of refugees by the river in the northwest, who do not want to come to the Digong Temple, thinking that it is ......," one of the monks said helplessly, "They may have some misunderstandings about the imperial court." β
The household official hurriedly asked, "Is any of them sick?" Or someone who looks unusual? β
The monk thought for a while, shook his head and said, "They don't look very good because they have been sleeping in the open for a long time. β
The household official rubbed his eyebrows, "The refugees outside the city have to gather in one place, and one person is left behind to turn around and call the above to know, and we will have no good fruit to eat." β
Xue Jinyi said, "Shall I try it?" β
"Miss Xue, some refugees are very vulgar, I'm afraid they will collide with you." The little official of the household department didn't dare to snub the celebrity in front of the eldest princess.
"It's okay, if I was afraid of being bumped into, I wouldn't be here." Xue Jinyi instructed: "Prepare some dry food and water, and I'll go and call two more people to go together." β
Seeing this, the household official arched his hand, "Yes, the small one will do it." β
Xue Jinyi turned around and called Xiaobao's mother and son and Uncle Zhang, "Let's go out for a walk, shall we?" β
Xiaobao waved his arms happily, "Okay, okay!" β
Xue Jinyi simply explained the matter to the child's mother and Uncle Zhang, and there were women, children and men who were also refugees who came to persuade them, plus dry food, I believe that it would be easy to gain the trust of those refugees and bring them back to the Land Temple.
Uncle Zhang nodded again and again, "It's really a shame to ask us to stay here and not do anything, and we should do our best." β
Xue Jinyi smiled and nodded, it is best for them to have such thoughts, I am afraid that some people think that the imperial court should be responsible for raising them for a lifetime, and they can just lie down and enjoy it.
After making preparations, everyone followed the monk and just came out of the Land Temple, when they saw a group of ragged people walking timidly towards this side.
The monk's eyes lit up, "They didn't want to come before, why did they take the initiative to come here now?" β
