However, the county magistrate's wife did not disappoint her.
When she was investigating the county magistrate, she also investigated the people around him. The county magistrate's wife was indeed a good person.
However, in today's world, her abilities are limited, and the number of people she can protect is also limited.
But she had done what she could.
…
Honoka looked at the lady and asked her, "Madam, why are you distributing all the ill-gotten gains of the county magistrate to the people?"
The lady sighed and twirled her Buddhist beads in her hand, "Because all that ill-gotten wealth was obtained from the people."
"Now, I am just returning the property to its original owner!"
"What the county magistrate did to them...this amount of money can't make up for it."
Honoka, "Madam, why didn't you leave the county magistrate before?"
Madam, you have helped so many people. If you want to run away, you can, right?
"If I leave and he brings people into the mansion again, who will protect them?"
The lady looked at Honoka with a gentle look in her eyes. "I'm already quite old now, and I wouldn't be able to do much if I went somewhere else. I might as well stay here and help as many people as I can."
Moreover, if she could live longer than the county magistrate, she could pay back some of what the county magistrate owed the people.
For example, now that the county magistrate is dead and she is still alive, can't she give some of the county magistrate's money to the people?
Honoka's face was touched, "Ma'am, you really have a kind heart."
The lady shook her head slightly, "I just did what I could!"
"Madam, what are your plans next?" Honoka asked her, "Where do you want to go?"
The lady thought for a moment and said, "I thought I would be implicated as well, but after waiting for so many days, no one has come to arrest us..."
Before she could finish her words, Honoka's face was filled with anger, "If they come to arrest Madam, that would be unjust!"
"Madam, you are the best in this County Magistrate's Mansion!"
The lady laughed, "Thank you, Honoka."
"But now it seems they won't come to arrest me."
Honoka said, "I've heard that the Emperor of our Yuan Kingdom is a wise ruler, and that the little princess is also a very reasonable person. Now it seems to be true."
"Yes." Madam nodded, "So I plan to stay here. Honoka, your father came looking for you before, so go back and find him!"
"You don't have to worry about me here."
"My health is sometimes good and sometimes bad, but it's not a big deal."
"Just some minor ailments."
Honoka shook her head, "No, I'm staying with my wife."
"Madam, if you have no money, you don't have to give me a monthly salary. I will find a way to earn some, and when I do, I will support you!"
The lady felt a little warm in her heart, "I am very happy that you have this heart."
"But don't worry, I still have money, which is more than enough for living."
She saw that she had a liking for Honoka and said, "If you're willing, you can stay."
"You and I will keep each other company."
As for the rest of the slaves, she planned to dismiss them all. She didn't have enough money to support so many people for a long time.
"Yes! Thank you, Madam!" Honoka's face was full of joy. She really liked Madam.
The lady walked towards her room, twirling her Buddhist beads, and Honoka quickly followed her.
The lady recites scriptures for an hour every day. She says that this is to pray for the souls of those whom she cannot protect.
At this time, Yuchi Xi and Jing Huaian had already arrived in a new city.
Yuchi Xi and Jing Huaian were eating outside together. Many people wearing veils hurried past them, and their discussions could be heard faintly.
"Hey, did you hear? Two countries have gone to war!!"
Yuchi Xi immediately pricked up his ears. A war has begun?!
Which two countries?!
Why did you leave? !
Speak up! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Yuchi Xi wanted to hold his bowl and chopsticks and follow them to listen to the gossip.
Seeing her look of being completely captivated, Jing Huaian chuckled and asked, "Little Princess, do you want me to go and ask around?"
Yuchi Xi cleared his throat, his face full of justice, "We should pay more attention to such national affairs. Thank you for your hard work, Brother Jing!"
Jing Huaian knew she just wanted to hear gossip, so he didn't expose her. "Okay."
He got up and followed to inquire.
Jing Huaian stopped the two men and gave them a few taels of silver. "Brother, let me find out what's going on with the two countries going to war you just mentioned?"
"My younger sister and I are traveling here and are worried about encountering these kinds of things. We want to learn more about them so we can avoid those two countries."
The two of them looked at each other, took the change, and said, "So that's how it is!"
"It's the Sha Kingdom and the Lie Kingdom! Speaking of which, the Sha Kingdom is also unlucky. I heard that the Sha Kingdom discovered some rare minerals, and I don't know how the news got to the Lie Kingdom."
"What kind of country is Lieguo? They are the best at killing and atrocities."
"The Emperor of Lie Kingdom is the true tyrant. He has no regard for anyone's life or death and only wants to plunder. Look, in order to obtain those rare minerals from Sand Country, they have directly declared war on Sand Country!"
"Ah!" They clicked their tongues and shook their heads. "Saudi Arabia is in such a plight right now. It wasn't a very big country to begin with. After this war, who knows if it will be completely wiped out..."
Jing Huaian: So that’s how it is.
"Come to think of it, why doesn't Saudi Arabia seek help from other countries?" someone muttered.
Another person tutted his words, "You don't know yet, I was planning to tell you today, but the Lie Kingdom has spread the word that anyone who dares to help the Sha Kingdom will be going against them!"
