C145 (1/2)

Jin Weiwei pushed aside the curtain and asked the driver.

The coachman sighed, ”There was a flood in Qingshui County next door. The Emperor ordered the county's elders to take care of it, and the county's lord ordered people to build a large shed for the victims. The natural disaster and man-made disasters will always be caused by us commoners.”

Hearing this, Jin Weiwei looked towards the bustling yamen runners. There were many victims gathered nearby, most of whom were here to help. Everyone's face was filled with grief and desolation. The entire scene was indescribably depressing.

Putting down the curtain, Jin Weiwei let out a sigh. She didn't know how Wang Hai would handle this matter.

Soon, they arrived at the manor, and Jin Weiwei called for the ingot.

”The butcher must be in a hurry. Go and pick out two of the stronger ones or those who have killed pigs before.”

Perhaps it was because she had cried just now, but Jin Weiwei's voice was still hoarse and her eyes were red. When she fell into Yuanbao's eyes, her eyes immediately turned cold.

”What's the matter with you?”

”Hmm?”

Jin Weiwei raised her head. Seeing the caring eyes of Yuanbao, she was somewhat puzzled.

When he met her unfamiliar gaze, Yuanbao's body felt even colder. Shaking his head, he turned and left.

What's wrong?

Jin Weiwei looked confused. She didn't do anything, right? Why did that ingot seem like she owed him money?

After a long sigh of relief, Jin Weiwei tried to dispel the depression in her heart.

She still had space to spare for the rice. She still had three hundred catties left, and they were all waiting for her.

No, she had to think of a way. It would be too slow for her to take it in by herself, but she couldn't let anyone else know her secret …

That's right!

She could do that!

Soon, Jin Weiwei gathered all the people in the manor and had Pearl and Jadeite find a few ox-carts.

Soon after, Jin Weiwei had everyone cover their eyes and bring them to a remote place.

Jin Weiwei looked around to make sure that there was no one around and then walked to a tree as thick as ten people's waists. She then opened the door to the space in a low voice.

”Now, listen to me, you all hold hands. The place I'm going to take you all to is a very secretive place. Do not take off any blinders until I tell you to, do you hear me?”

”Yes.”

Jin Weiwei nodded and took Pearl's hand to bring her into the space. Only when everyone had entered did she finally feel relieved. She whispered to the door not to open and told everyone to remove the eyepatch.

Everyone looked around and found that the sky was actually as warm as spring. Ever since they came in, their bodies had become much more comfortable.

”Alright, stop looking around. Collect the rice in the fields for me.”

Jin Weiwei coughed lightly with a serious face. Everyone lowered their heads in fear and went to work in a flurry.

Seeing this, Jin Weiwei could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Luckily, the people here valued people above and below, otherwise she would not be able to fool these people.

On the other side of the manor, little Fugui arrived just in time. When he went out this morning, he told Mo Feng and the rest not to follow him. Unfortunately, those few people were stubborn, so he told them to stay hidden.

When the little rich kid rushed over, he did not see anyone in the manor. He searched every yard, but there was no one around.

Xiao Fugui couldn't help but frown. ”Mo Ba.”

A black shadow instantly appeared in front of Xiao Fugui. With a respectful expression, he said, ”Crown Prince.”

”Find out where she is.”

”Yes.”

In less than an incense's time, Mo Ba had returned.

”Your Highness, I found a few traces of a car being crushed outside the manor. It should be …” a trace of Miss Jin's passage. ”

Mo Ba hesitated for a moment before giving Jin Weiwei a suitable title.
