Madam Guan, who was in the pavilion, was so shocked by these words that she almost lost her footing. "What happened? How could such a large warehouse just disappear like that?"

That warehouse not only contained grain, but also a lot of gold and silver jewelry; it was the lifeblood of the entire Guan family!

The servant knelt on the ground and shook his head. "This servant does not know. Today, when I was on patrol, I walked to the warehouse entrance and suddenly found that the place where the warehouse used to be had been turned into flat ground."

"Investigate!"

Madam Guan was furious. After some investigation, a maid saw Sisi and Xiao Baoshi acting suspiciously at the warehouse entrance, and the warehouse disappeared shortly afterward.

"Oh!"

She slammed her hand on the table and roared at You Rong, "You Rong, you're trying to steal my food because I didn't give it to you?"

"Don't make baseless accusations without evidence."

"The maids all saw it!" Madam Guan said angrily. "Go and fetch those two children!"

Soon, Sisi, Xiaobaoshi, and Xie Yan were brought over. With Xie Yan there, the maid didn't dare to do anything to Sisi and could only intimidate her to come over.

Without a word, Madam Guan shouted, "Guards, throw them into the dungeon. They'll be out when the warehouse returns."

"Does Madam Guan really think the three of us children can move the warehouse?" Xie Yan remained calm under pressure. "Even if we could, what about the warehouse itself? We can't exactly carry it in our pockets, can we?"

Sisi twisted her fingers without saying a word.

Madam Guan was speechless. She only now realized that it was impossible for three children to move the warehouse; they were not gods.

But it's incredibly strange that the warehouse could disappear without a trace, right under the noses of so many people in the Guan family.

You Rong glanced at Si Si, and having roughly grasped the situation, said helplessly, "I don't know how your family's warehouse disappeared. Since the Guan family is unwilling to provide grain, then we'll take our leave."

Madam Guan felt that this was inextricably linked to them, but lacking evidence, she could only let them go.

After the group left, she angrily smashed all the porcelain on the table onto the floor, and the servants hurriedly brought up new ones.

Madam Guan glared, "How dare you! You dare give me things that guests have used?"

The maidservant trembled with fear, "Madam, the warehouse is completely empty. All the porcelain in the manor is stored there..."

Madam Guan fainted from anger.

On the carriage back to the city lord's mansion, You Rong stared at Si Si, who felt increasingly guilty under his gaze and could only lower her head and timidly admit it.

"Mother, I'm sorry, Sisi took the Guan family's warehouse. She's so annoying. The servants said the Guan family has plenty of grain, but they just don't want to give it to us."

"You can't just take other people's things without permission, you know? Taking things without asking is stealing, and nobody likes a thief. Do you want to be a thief?" You Rong couldn't bear to scold her after all, and her tone was gentle.

She knew the little guy didn't do it on purpose. She was simple-minded and couldn't figure out the reason. She only knew that it was the behavior of a bad person to have something but not give it to someone.

She, as the mother, needs to teach him a lesson properly.

The little guy's eyes still reddened. "Then I'll return the warehouse. Mom, please don't be angry. I know I was wrong."

She opened the Qiankun bag and let the warehouse return to its original location by itself.

Little Gem was unhappy. "It was the Guan family's fault to begin with. They clearly had it but wouldn't give it to us. They're so mean."

"That belongs to the Guan family. She has the right to give it or not. Don't worry, I will find another way to get food. I will definitely not let you little kids go hungry."

You Rong gently pinched their little noses, but her heart was heavy. What were they going to do without food?

At that moment, the servants of the Guan family discovered that the warehouse had returned and hurriedly informed Madam Guan. Upon receiving this news, Madam Guan felt that the servants were playing a trick on them and fined several servants of their monthly wages.

"Let it go. Maybe the servants are mistaken. How could a large warehouse just disappear like that?" Madam Qin advised before taking her leave.

Madam Guan nodded, "The head of the household will definitely find out about the grain donation when he returns, so you'd better keep your temper in check."

Madam Qin had a bad temper, and her husband had an even worse one. Madam Guan was really afraid that they would fight and make a fool of themselves.

"I'm not afraid of him at all."

When night fell, the men who had gone out returned. Upon learning that none of them were donating grain, they got into a huge argument, and the Qin family even came to blows, causing chaos and confusion.

The food was never delivered.

The grain looted from the Xiongnu would only last until next month, so Sun Changjing and his brothers had no choice but to lead a group of people to buy grain from outside at high prices.

Xu Zhenzhen led his troops to reinforce the city walls. Since all the Xiongnu had been wiped out last time, they were bound to hold a grudge, so they had to take the most thorough measures.

The porridge distribution continued, but there was no more food, so Sisi had to secretly take some food out of her space.

She put a lot of eggs in the porridge. When the servants went to serve it to the people, each spoonful was full of eggs. They were so surprised that they stammered, "This...this..."

That's strange. She was in charge of cooking this porridge, and she clearly didn't put any eggs in it, nor could she afford to. How could so many eggs suddenly appear?

"Madam, look!"

You Rong was still in shock and couldn't quite process it, but Qin Shi knew who did it at a glance.

She pulled Sisi aside and whispered, "Keep some, just in case something goes wrong later."

Sisi bit her finger. "What about the common people? They are all so pitiful."

The refugees, who used to only eat porridge, are now eating eggs, and they are all moved to tears.

"Sisi is such a kind person. She not only gives us ordinary people porridge, but also puts eggs in the porridge, afraid that we won't have enough to eat."

"I've never heard of putting eggs in porridge in hundreds of years. Sisi is such a good person. God will surely bless Sisi with peace and health."
