Chapter 43 Disaster



"Yeah! Thank you grandma and uncle."

Ruanruan happily turned around in circles in the room.

Uncle Ruan grabbed her collar and said with a smile, "Little rich woman, you have to support me when I get old."

"Uncle, don't you have any money from working?" Ruanruan stopped waving her hands, looked back at Uncle Ruan, and asked in confusion.

"Ahem...can't you just support me?"

Uncle Ruan pulled her into his arms and poked her chubby cheeks.

"You're already so rich, how could a kid this young just casually spend hundreds of millions?"

“Is there a lot of soft money?”

She held her chin in her hand and asked after thinking for a while.

She has no idea about money, she just wants to have fun.

"Of course!"

"Do you know how much this box of your things is worth?"

"As long as you don't squander the money, it's enough to support you for several lifetimes."

Uncle Ruan pinched her little face.

"Oh oh oh."

Ruanruan still didn't understand how much it was worth, she only knew that the gift from Uncle Jin Wang was worth a lot of money.

"Uncle, after you die, will all your money be left to Ruanruan?"

Ruanruan looked up with a pair of confused eyes and asked Uncle Ruan.

Uncle Ruan: “…”

I really thank you.

I'm not even 30 years old this year, and you already miss me.

Children speak without restraint!

Uncle Ruan looked at his innocent little niece and laughed angrily.

"Yeah."

Ruanruan nodded, "Oh, oh, of course I must. Ruanruan must support you. Is there any need to say that?"

"Ruanruan still has to support grandparents, parents, and adding my uncle is just like adding a pair of chopsticks."

Uncle Ruan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Pfft! No, if I don't leave the money to you, you won't support me anymore, right?"

Ruanruan said seriously, "No, I come to see you from time to time."

She doesn't think there is anything wrong with her. Why should her uncle, who has his own money, still support her?

"You're treating me differently, aren't you?"

Ruanruan blinked her eyes and said, "No, Daddy's money was left to Ruanruan. Grandpa and grandma said that all the money will be given to Ruanruan in the future."

“???” Three question marks popped up in Uncle Ruan’s mind.

How come he doesn't know anything about this!

After the situation on the King of Jin's side calmed down, long queues formed at the porridge stall again. After receiving the porridge, people would squat by the eaves or go home.

A woman holding a child rushed out of the alley, limping and stumbling, and rushed straight towards Prince Jin.

The guards drew their swords and stood in front of Prince Jin.

But the woman didn't have time to get close.

"Bang!" He knelt down not far in front of King Jin.

"My Lord, please save my son again!"

"Even if you let me die, I am willing."

The woman's nose and face were swollen and bruised, and her original appearance was unrecognizable. She had a limp when she opened her mouth to speak, and several of her front teeth had fallen out. There was a blood scab on her forehead, as if she had been hit by something heavy.

"Let her take a look." King Jin waved his hand and asked Doctor Luo Shen next to him to go over.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" She kowtowed twice on the ground, and two lines of blood came out of her nose, but she didn't care at all.

“Bang!”

The woman suddenly fell down in the snow holding the child.

Doctor Luo Shen hurried forward to take the woman's pulse. His pupils shrank and he immediately felt the woman's breath. His hand paused and then retracted.

"Your Majesty, the person is gone."

Prince Jin raised his eyes and glanced at his wife lying on the ground, "Save the child."

It is normal for someone to die these days, but it is rare to see someone insisting on coming to save a child despite being injured.

Doctor Luo opened the tattered cotton jacket covering the child. The child was about one year old and a little thin, but he was sleeping peacefully without making any noise or noise.

Before they knew it, everyone around them had fallen silent.

"Your Highness, the child is fine. He just fell asleep because he was hungry."

In such a hungry and cold period, such a young child was still alive. It shows how much effort the child's parents put in for him, and even lost their lives.

"Take the child away and take good care of him."

The words of King Jin gave hope to the bullied women, children, the elderly, the weak and the disabled. Some of them knelt down holding their children, some put down their crutches and knelt down, some lay on the ground without legs, and some limped on one leg and half-knelt, with tears in their eyes, filled with begging and hope.

"Your Majesty, please save my child!"

"My Lord, please be kind and save me!"

"Although the prince has sent people to treat us and drink rice soup alone, we can't stand the jealousy of those strong men. As long as the prince's people are not around, bullying and oppression are common."

"Your Highness, we are not like those healthy and strong men. If you don't care about us, we will have no choice but to die." An old man, leaning on a crutch, walked tremblingly to the front of Prince Jin, knelt down, and said with tears in his eyes.

"I once followed the generals who defended the country into battle. I injured my leg during a battle and returned to my hometown in Youzhou. Your Highness, Prince Jin, can you please help us again because I once served the country? If we continue like this, we will really be killed."

Everyone knows that General Dagan is a traitor to the country. To promote General Dagan now is simply courting death and handing his life over to others.

King Jin took a look at them and saw that almost everyone here had injuries on their faces.

The mother and son that Ruanruan had rescued yesterday were among them. The woman had a bloody hole on her forehead and her face was covered in bruises.

The child kneeling on the ground next to him no longer had the bright eyes he had when he was rescued yesterday. His face was swollen and covered with slap marks. He didn't dare to say a word and could only shed tears.

There are many disaster victims in Youzhou, and the population is mixed. Even if they do their best, they still cannot prevent being bullied.

Prince Jin leaned over and helped the old man up. "I know everything. It was my fault for not considering it carefully."

"Yingyi, clear out the temple outside the city and place these elderly, weak, women and children there. Then send some people over to keep a close eye on them and make sure no one gets in."

"Your Majesty, you are a good man. You are a very good man."

The old man looked up at Prince Jin, his hands shaking and tears streaming down his face.

Originally, he was taking a gamble and begging King Jin for help with his life on the line. However, he did not expect that King Jin not only arranged for them to be resettled, but also humbly blamed himself.

"If it were someone else, they would have chopped off my head long ago!"

"Your Majesty, you are kind-hearted and wholeheartedly care about the people of Youzhou. It is our blessing to have you, and it is also a blessing for Dagan to have you. No one in the court cares about us in Youzhou, only you."

Those kneeling on the ground all cried, wiping their tears and saying, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin is our benefactor. We have no way to repay him in this lifetime. We only pray that God bless His Highness!"

"I understand your intentions. Get up."

Prince Jin hooked his hand at the guard beside him and said, "Take them to the temple. Bring those in the city to the temple according to their illness. If there is not enough space, vacate the prefect's villa in the suburbs."

"Go ahead."

The personal guards led a group of people to the temple in the suburbs.

"Father..." Zhao Chengqian followed behind Prince Jin without him knowing when, and spoke with his head down, somewhat depressed.

"I haven't thought it through."

As soon as he heard that something happened at the porridge stall, he rushed over.
