Reborn to be replaced, remarried to the royal palace to raise children and train husband

Her father explained awkwardly: "Miss, I'm really sorry, the child is young and ignorant, please don't argue with her."

As he spoke, he tried to pull the little girl's hand away.

How could such thin little hands have enough strength? He just exerted a little force and the little girl's hands loosened.

Hongye looked at the little hand that was powerless to put down, and her heart was filled with sorrow. She knew that without food, the little girl might not be able to survive the night.

So she hurriedly reached into her waist bag to find some food for the little girl.

However, this time she just came out to investigate the situation and did not carry many items with her, only two small snacks.

Still, it could save a life.

Hongye handed the snack to the child's mother and said, "Hurry up and give it to the child."

The parents didn't expect Hongye to be so generous and were stunned for a moment.

Just when they were stunned, a calloused hand suddenly reached out and snatched the two pieces of dessert.

The child's father exclaimed: "Mom! That was given to Yaoyao by my benefactor!"

The old woman who snatched the snack seemed not to hear anything. She quickly stuffed the snack into her mouth, chewed it greedily twice, and then swallowed it in one gulp.

After swallowing it, she still looked at Hongye with an unsatisfied look: "Anything else? If so, give me some more."

Hongye's face was like a dark cloud, and she was furious: "That was carefully prepared for the child, how could you rudely take away her treasure!"

The old woman retorted confidently: "It's just a money-losing thing, it's fine if she dies. I'm her grandmother, it's only natural for her to be filial to me! Even her parents haven't said a word, what qualifications do you have to shout here?"

Hongye was so angry that she almost punched him: "That was something I prepared with all my heart."

The old woman shamelessly said, "Once something enters my house, it belongs to us. You have no right to ask about it. If you have nothing, get out of the way and don't get in the way."

Hongye was still trying to argue with the old woman, but suddenly, the child's father cried out in agony: "Yaoyao, what's wrong with you? Wake up! Don't scare your father!"

That little girl was starved to death.

Hongye didn't know how she got back to Prince Duan's Mansion. As soon as she stepped into the mansion, her tears rolled down like a flood, making the maids panic.

When Fu Yu heard Hongye crying in the garden, she hurried over.

After understanding the situation, Fu Yu was also extremely sad and sat with her in the garden for a long time.

After Hongye calmed down, she reported the matter to Gu Qinlan.

After listening to this, Gu Qinlan was speechless for a long time.

"Girl, can't we really help those suffering people?" Hongye couldn't help it and risked asking this inappropriate question.

She knew the question was too presumptuous, but she couldn't remain silent after witnessing an innocent child starve to death in front of her eyes.

Gu Qinlan replied: "Wait a little longer. If the government still doesn't take action tomorrow, we will set up a porridge stall."

It is obviously impossible to distribute food to the people. Now many families in the city are facing food shortages, and no one knows when the refugees outside the city will leave. Therefore, once the vulnerable people have food in their hands, it will attract the covetousness of some bad people.

The most reliable way is to give out porridge, one bowl per person, which can be collected and eaten on the spot.

This will ensure that everyone can save their lives.

Hongye was delighted, but then she became a little worried: "Will setting up a porridge stall cause dissatisfaction from Lord Liu?"

After all, Lord Liu asked Gu Qinlan for help yesterday but failed to get a response, and now they suddenly set up a porridge stall, as if they were teasing Lord Liu.

Gu Qinlan smiled softly: "Yesterday I said that we cannot act in the name of Prince Duan's Mansion, but I did not say that we cannot act in my personal name. Whether in my personal name or in the name of the Gu family, we do not have the ability to call on the big families in the city."

"I just want to do my part for the people in the city. If Lord Liu feels that doing this is a slap in his face, we can close the porridge stall at any time."

"As long as he can withstand the anger of the people in the city."

Hongye laughed out loud: "The girl is really very wise."

In this way, he not only helped those poor people, but also left Lord Liu speechless. If he dared to stop them, those people who were forced into a desperate situation would tear him to pieces.

The next day, the government still did not take any action.

He even sent many yamen runners to guard in front of the yamen, warning the people not to trespass without permission, otherwise they would be killed without mercy.

The big families in the city also closed their doors to visitors, and no one was willing to step forward to help the people in the city.

The people gathered in front of the yamen went from being full of hope to being completely desperate.

Several men jumped up angrily, their eyes like torches, and shouted loudly to the dull-looking people: "Everyone, stop wasting time here! Let's attack the government together and force the corrupt official surnamed Liu to hand over the grain in the government warehouse! As the parent official of the people, he eats the salary of the court and exploits us, the suffering people, year after year. Now we are starving everywhere, but he turns a blind eye. How can he be worthy of the title of parent official!"

Some people who were extremely hungry hesitated and slowly stood up, including the father of the little girl who died of starvation yesterday.

At this moment, several strong men in tight combat robes rushed into the crowd like tigers descending from the mountains and arrested those who had first instigated the movement.

The arrested person immediately protested loudly: "What are you doing? Who are you to arrest us?"

The sturdy leader smiled contemptuously and replied, "We are the guards of Prince Duan's Palace. You guys are deliberately provoking the people and trying to create chaos. Be honest, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"

The arrested people refused to give in and shouted loudly: "Look, fellow villagers, the evil slaves of Prince Duan's mansion are bullying us! Don't you see clearly? These court officials don't care about our lives at all. We can't wait any longer. Why don't we work together to snatch their food and save our lives!"

The emotions of many people were ignited, and they got up from the ground one after another, staring fiercely at the guards of Prince Duan's Mansion.

The strong leader gave the loudest shouter a heavy punch without hesitation, then turned to the people and said, "Don't be misled by rumors. Now, please go to my lady's dowry shops. My lady has ordered that from today on, the shops under her name will provide two meals of porridge to the people of the city every day."

"The food is limited and will be distributed as soon as it runs out. I hope you won't blame my wife for not being able to save everyone afterwards."

Gu Qinlan specifically asked Sang Qian to make these words public.

This is a prior statement to prevent any accidents.

No one could predict when the refugees in the besieged city would be rescued. Although Gu Qinlan had a lot of food, facing more than 20,000 starving people in Jindu, even if he cooked the porridge as thin as water, it would not last long.

Showing favors often brings more resentment, which is why many noble families are reluctant to lend a helping hand easily.

No one wants to do such a thankless task.
