She smiled as she picked up a big chicken leg and took a big bite, "Thank you elder sister, I have to thank you for coming out to take a breather today. If elder sister hadn't come out for a walk today, I would still be in my room copying my family rules!"

The two sisters were talking and laughing. Although it was just a message, they were also very happy!

Soon, the meal ended amidst laughter and cheers!

In the afternoon, Mu Rong Xiaoru arranged for them to burn incense and pray at the Fa Hua temple, but Mu Rong Qing Yan didn't object!

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?.

The girl Dong Li had not followed him since the morning, and should have returned to the mansion by now.

Fortunately, Chun Yu was riding a horse carriage, which was why she was able to stay by Mu Rong Qing Yan's side the entire time.

The carriage headed towards the outskirts of the North Gate.

Mu Rong Qing Yan lifted up the curtain of the carriage window and looked outside.

The scenery and air of the outskirts were much better than in the city. On both sides of the official road were green bamboo, and after the carriage left the sea of bamboo, there was another beautiful scene of small bridges and flowing water.

There were so many factories in the society, so many sewage and poisonous gas that caused the city to be in desertification. Where could one breathe so fresh air and enjoy such natural scenery?

After another quarter of an hour, there was a ruckus in front of them. It seemed that the road in front of them had been blocked by something. The carriage came to a sudden halt, and a certain Second Miss inside the house fell over.

"Ah, coachman, what's going on? Throw me down, okay? " Mu Rong Xiaoru rubbed her butt unhappily and shouted at the coachman outside the door.

Mu Rong Qing Yan raised the curtain of the carriage and leaned his head forward to look at the road before him.

He saw that there were a lot of refugees in front of the road, blocking the path of the horse carriage.

According to her memory, the Windy Nation was a peaceful country, why would there suddenly be so many refugees?

The refugees were all wearing thin clothes and their bodies were dirty.

When she saw this, her heart ached for a moment. It was a heart-wrenching feeling.

Without waiting for Mu Rong Xiaoru to say anything, Mu Rong Qing Yan lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked out. She asked the coachman to protect the people within the carriage while she walked towards the refugees.

He casually stopped the mother and daughter who were closest to her, "Big Sis, what happened? Where did you all come from? " Mu Rong Qing Yan helped the elder sister who was in trouble to support the girl with her weak legs. She looked to be about five or six years old when she saw the girl.

The person she called elder sister saw that Mu Rong Qing Yan was well-dressed and came from a rich family, so she pulled her daughter and knelt down, "Miss, please, I beg you to give me some food, give my child some food, we haven't eaten for two days, it's fine if I don't eat, but the child is still young, she can't bear the hunger."

Mu Rong Qing Yan's eyes were filled with tears as she took in a deep breath. She had been through countless battles, but she had never been this emotionally moved before. He immediately nodded and supported the mother and daughter, softly saying, "You guys hurry up and get up. Wait for me for a moment, I'll go find some food for you guys."

With that, she ran to the carriage and shouted into it, "Spring Rain, Spring Rain, quickly give me the pastries we just packed."

Without saying anything further, Chun Yu immediately passed the pastries from the carriage window to Mu Rong Qing Yan.

Inside the car, Mu Rong Xiao Ru was confused and asked, "Big sister, where are you going with the pastries? "This is the traditional style of 'De Xiang Zhai' pastries..."

However, when she said those words, Mu Rong Qing Yan had already ran to the mother and daughter pair.

"Big Sis, take these pastries." Then, she took out her money pouch from her waist and handed it to the eldest young mistress, "Big sister, I have some broken silver here. Go to the city and find a doctor for your child. It seems that his illness is not light."

The mother and daughter were very grateful. They immediately knelt down and kowtowed again. "Thank you young miss, young miss really has the heart of a Buddha. Thank you young miss, thank you ?"

"Get up, get up, I can only help so much. There are so many refugees here, where did all of you come from?" He was in a hurry to find food for the mother and daughter just now, so he didn't have the time to listen to what they had to say.

The eldest young mistress rubbed her child as she thought of this. A chill ran through her heart. A stream of clear tears slowly flowed down from the corners of her eyes. "Young Miss, we came all the way here from the Violet ChenChen County."

"Zi Chen County? Did something happen in Zichen County? Why have all of you come to the capital? " Mu Rong Qing Yan took out a thread of fear from his sleeve and wiped her tears away.

However, Zichen County was a pain that they could not wipe away. When it was mentioned again, her tears were like a river that had collapsed, and no matter how they tried, they could not stop it.

"Big Sis, don't cry. Come, let's sit over there. Tell me slowly." Mu Rong Qing Yan said this and wanted to hug the little girl, but the eldest young mistress quickly pulled the child to her side, "Miss, the child hasn't bathed for a long time. I'm afraid that the young lady's luxurious clothes will be stained."

Mu Rong Qing Yan smiled and picked the little girl up. She walked to a large green rock on the side of the road and sat down.

Inside the carriage, Mu Rong Xiaoru was getting agitated from waiting. "Chun Yu, help me down to take a look. I don't know what your young miss is doing. She hasn't come back for so long."

The eldest young mistress sat down on the big limestone with her daughter and said, "Your Majesty is wise and wise. Last summer, there was a lot of rain in Zi Chen County and the water level was very fast. But... However, after spending so much money, we don't have much left until we reach the Zichen County. Building the river bridge required money, and without money, the government could only build the river bank hastily. Just two days ago, the river had suddenly collapsed and the people of Zi Chen County had sunk into the sea. Whether they died or were injured, the younger ones like us had all escaped ? However... But my other child. Your child's father... They were all carried away by the flood. Until now, I have no way of knowing if I am dead or alive ? "

After listening to elder sister's words, Mu Rong Qing Yan had already figured out the whole sequence of events. It was as though the officials had deducted a sum of money, causing the project to go on.

Now that the matter had been exposed, another bloody storm was brewing in the court!
