Chapter 129: Being Calculated
Aunt Liu cooked a total of six dishes in the evening. The hardest one was the chicken stewed with mushrooms, which made Qin Chuchu's stomach bulge.
"Aunt Liu, your cooking is so delicious!"
Qin Chuchu touched her round belly and burped in an ungraceful manner.
Aunt Liu's cooking skills are truly amazing, no wonder the King of Hell brought her all the way from the capital.
"Thank you for the compliment, Princess!" Aunt Liu said with a look of joy on her face.
There is nothing more gratifying than having your abilities recognized.
But Han Muchen on the side had a stern face.
"Things are different now. Don't cook so many dishes in the future!"
He looked at the dishes on the table and frowned. The soldiers couldn't even get three meals a day, so it was a bit too extravagant for him to eat like this.
"Yes!" Aunt Liu nodded in response.
But his eyes were full of heartache when he looked at Han Muchen. When he was in the palace, the prince had at least ten dishes for every meal. He had never suffered such injustice.
Seeing Aunt Liu walk away angrily, Qin Chuchu withdrew her gaze.
"Your Highness, Aunt Liu is really good to you!"
Just looking at the old lady, and seeing the eyes full of heartache for the living devil, you know that he is not bad.
Han Muchen raised his eyelids and put down the teacup in his hand.
"Madame Liu was originally my mother's personal maid. She has been with me since I was a child. After I left the palace, my mother sent her to serve me."
Because of this, he absolutely trusted Madam Liu and did not hide anything from her.
"Oh! Then Uncle Liu has been with the prince for a long time, right?"
Qin Chuchu looked at the man. Since Aunt Liu and Uncle Liu were a family, Uncle Liu must be an old man, otherwise he wouldn't have brought them all the way from the capital.
"Well, Butler Liu was originally a subordinate of the king. He was injured on the battlefield in his early years. Since he had no relatives at home, he was left at the mansion. He and Nanny Liu were from the same hometown, and they later became together."
"That Linglong..."
The man interrupted Qin Chuchu before she finished her question.
"Madame Liu's son also died in battle. When Linglong was born, her mother also died of complications during childbirth."
"Oh." Qin Chuchu frowned.
I didn’t expect Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu to be so pitiful. The most painful thing is to see the young die before the old.
Han Muchen took a sip of tea, glanced towards the tent entrance, and frowned slightly.
Why haven’t those guys come over yet? Could it be that they are too full?
While I was thinking about it, Feng Liu walked in from outside.
"Feng Liu, have you given them everything you were asked to give them?"
Qin Chuchu looked at him. Since he planned to take in Zhao Er and the others, he must treat them equally. So he asked Feng Liu to give them some daily necessities and two sets of thermal underwear for each of them.
"Princess, they have all been distributed!"
Feng Liu nodded and glanced at his master again.
"Oh!" Qin Chuchu also nodded.
I saw them wearing only light clothes before, so they shouldn’t be afraid of the cold this time.
He was thinking about it in his mind, and when he saw Feng Liu still standing there, he couldn't help but frown.
"Anything else?"
One look at this guy and he looks like he has something going on.
Feng Liu glanced at his master who was drinking tea leisurely.
“Um… yes!”
"you say!"
Qin Chuchu also followed his gaze and looked at the man. She saw that he looked embarrassed, as if the matter was quite serious.
"Princess, Zhao Er and the others are waiting outside and want to see you!"
"See me?" Qin Chuchu looked at Feng Liu.
Could it be that there is something that has not been arranged? Otherwise, why would he still want to see her at this time?
"Yeah." Feng Liu nodded, still looking embarrassed.
"Then let them in!"
Qin Chuchu glanced outside and became even more confused. She didn't know why they wanted to see her at this time.
Soon, Feng Liu brought them all in. As soon as they arrived, a large group of them knelt down.
"Princess, we have an unwelcome request. Please grant it to us!"
“…………”Qin Chuchu.
She glanced at the man opposite her with a puzzled look, then looked at the person kneeling on the ground in front of her.
"Tell me about it!"
Feng Er raised his head and looked at Qin Chuchu with an embarrassed expression.
"We are grateful for the princess's great kindness. If it weren't for the princess, we would never have a full meal in our lifetime, wear such warm new clothes, and have never seen such things before..."
"Get to the point!" Qin Chuchu interrupted Feng Er.
After laying out so much nonsense, it's obvious that this guy has something to say.
“………” Feng Er glanced at Feng Liu beside him, all those words he had memorized were in vain.
Since the princess said so, he could only get straight to the point.
"Princess, when I was fleeing, there were many fellow villagers who were just like us. I'm afraid they are also starving and freezing outside.
Therefore, I beg the princess to take them in as well, otherwise I’m afraid they won’t survive this winter.”
After saying this, he started wiping his tears and snot, and kowtowed continuously. The others followed suit.
Each of them lowered their heads and wiped their tears, and some even choked and sobbed.
If you don’t know, you might really think that their loved ones are starving and freezing outside.
Seeing their foreheads banging against each other, Qin Chuchu's mouth twitched.
"Alright, everyone, get up! I agree to this!"
I thought it was a big deal, isn't it just taking in a few more refugees?
Anyway, she has plenty of places and is not short of food. What's more, if what she is thinking of is feasible, these people will not be enough for her to use, and she will have to recruit people sooner or later.
It would be better to take this opportunity to recruit more people. If we recruit them in this situation, they will remember her kindness.
“…………” Feng Er was delighted.
After looking at Feng Liu, he kowtowed again.
"Then I would like to thank the princess on behalf of my fellow villagers!"
I really didn't expect the princess to be so easy to talk to. I prepared so many excuses but they were all useless. She glanced at the man unnoticed.
The master shouldn't be angry this time.
Han Muchen still had that indifferent expression as he drank the tea in front of him. If Qin Chuchu looked at him at this moment, she would have noticed the cunning look in his eyes.
This silly woman is really interesting. I'm looking forward to her expression when she sees a lot of people tomorrow morning.
Qin Chuchu didn't know that she had already been plotted against by the men. When she went back to her bedroom to sleep, several men rode their horses and left in the moonlight.
The next morning, when Qin Chuchu was half asleep, Linglong's voice came to her ears.
"Princess! Something bad has happened!"
"Huh?" Qin Chuchu grinned and opened her eyes.
I looked at the sky outside again and it was already bright.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at the girl's frightened face, it seemed like something big had happened.
"There are so many people, there are so many people outside!"
Linglong pointed outside, and her already big eyes widened even wider.
I have never seen so many people in my life.
"A lot of people?"
Qin Chuchu stood up and sat up, putting on her clothes while thinking in her mind.
Could it be that the fellow villagers Zhao Er mentioned have come? That shouldn’t be possible!
It's only been one night, how could it happen so quickly?
With doubts, she quickly put on her clothes. When she walked out of the tent, she saw the people in front of her. She froze and her eyes were even bigger than Linglong's.
Oh my god! Where did these people come from? ! !
I received the gifts from the little cuties, thank you!
