Because of Song Qianning's words, the officers and soldiers hesitated to speak and opened their mouths as if they wanted to say something.
Faced with her stern gaze, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his throat.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers did not respond and had no intention of leaving, Chang Qing walked forward with a smile and patted one of them on the shoulder.
"Everyone, Miss Song is kind-hearted and can't bear to see the people suffer. I think you don't want to refuse her kindness."
As he spoke, he took out a token and showed it to the officers and soldiers.
The moment they saw the token, their faces changed drastically and they quickly bent their knees and wanted to kneel down, but were stopped by Chang Qing.
After making sure they all saw clearly, Chang Qing took the token back, his smile still on his face: "Do you have anything else to say?"
Even if there was, it became nothing after seeing the token that Changqing took out.
If Chang Qing hadn't taken out the token, perhaps the officers and soldiers would have pretended to be stupid.
Now that the token has been taken out, they can no longer play dumb. Besides, even without the token, they can't do anything in front of these guards.
A group of officers and soldiers looked at each other in confusion. When Chang Qing asked again in a "nice tone", no matter what they thought in their hearts, they all walked out of the restaurant politely.
With the departure of the officers and soldiers, the restaurant returned to normal and the people dared to speak.
After talking to the people for a few words, Song Qianning returned to the restaurant and took Niu Dazhuang with her to prepare food for the beggars and the people.
Halfway through the preparations, Niu Dazhuang suddenly came over from the kitchen with a sad face: "Miss Song."
Song Qianning clapped her hands and looked at Niu Dazhuang: "What's wrong?"
"The reserves are running low."
The restaurant usually stocks food, but those foods and flour are all prepared for the restaurant business.
It looks like a lot, but if you really want to prepare it for the people and beggars outside, it is not enough.
It's quite good that what's left of the restaurant can last that long.
"Miss Song, what should we do now?"
After learning that the restaurant's reserves were almost used up, Song Qianning fell into deep thought.
Due to the recent tax increase, I have nowhere to buy anything I want to buy.
While deep in thought, Song Qianning couldn't help but look up and look at the people outside.
Among the people queuing outside, there were ordinary people and beggars, all of whom were ragged and looked pale and thin.
He looked haggard, but with hope and brightness on his face, he looked up and looked forward.
Looking at the hopeful expressions of the people, Song Qianning's expression became more solemn.
The people outside didn't know that the restaurant's reserves were exhausted. Her porridge was hope for the people, hope for survival and hope for the future.
After thinking for a while, Song Qianning looked up and decided to buy it from the neighboring county.
No matter what, we cannot let the people starve to death.
She didn't want them to lose even that little bit of hope.
The other side.
Qiuyue was kneeling on the ground, with a guard holding a whip behind her, whipping her again and again.
As the guards whipped her, Qiuyue's face quickly turned pale. She still forced herself to kneel there, saying nothing, but her heart was filled with indignation.
Resentment towards Song Qianning.
It was not until Qin Ye waved his hand that the guards retreated with their whips.
Qin Ye looked at Qiuyue lying on the ground, his face expressionless. "I asked you to follow her, and she is the one you need to protect. Today, you failed to protect her properly and caused her to be injured. Do you know your mistake?"
"I don't know where I went wrong." Qiuyue gritted her teeth, her face pale as she persisted, "You are my only master, and you are the only one I need to protect."
As for Song Qianning, she is just an ordinary woman. What is there about her that is worth protecting?
If it weren't for the master's order, she wouldn't even bother to follow Song Qianning.
Thinking of the relationship between Qin Ye and Song Qianning, he felt even more resentful.
There is no woman in the world who can match a man as outstanding as me, let alone Song Qianning?
Apart from a barely presentable face, she has no other advantages. There is nothing about her that matches me.
Even standing next to me is an insult to my status.
"It seems you haven't realized where your mistake is."
"I am not wrong." Qiuyue insisted, repeating the same words: "I only have one master."
Seeing Qiuyue so stubborn, Qin Ye's face turned completely cold, and his voice was emotionless: "Continue."
"yes."
The guard took the order and continued to whip Qiuyue.
Qiuyue knelt straight on the ground, sweating profusely from being whipped, her body trembling in pain, but she still didn't let go.
Qin Ye didn't ask the guards to stop until Qiuyue was almost fainted from the whip and had only one breath left.
He looked down at Qiuyue with a cold voice: "I said last time that from now on, the person you need to protect is Song Qianning."
"If it happens again, I won't keep you here any longer. You can commit suicide on your own."
After saying this, Qin Ye turned and left without even looking at Qiuyue.
Qiuyue knelt on the ground as if she had lost her support, her shoulders shaking constantly. She watched Qin Ye leave, her heart filled with grievances.
She is obviously my bodyguard, and the one who needs protection is only me, not Song Qianning, that good-for-nothing woman who only knows how to rely on me.
Besides, it was Song Qianning who insisted on rushing into the crowd, and it was Song Qianning who got injured because she overestimated her own abilities. What does it have to do with her?
After letting the guard leave, Chang Qing looked down at Qiuyue lying on the ground and wanted to sigh for no reason: "Qiuyue."
Qiuyue, feeling aggrieved, seemed not to hear his voice. She stared at the direction Qin Ye left without saying a word.
Knowing that she had heard what he said, Chang Qing continued, "As the master's men, we only need to follow his orders."
"Since I asked you to protect Miss Song, Miss Song will be your master from now on."
Master? Qiuyue sneered, her eyes filled with sarcasm and resentment.
Her only master is me, not that woman Song Qianning!
Taking in her expression, Chang Qing felt increasingly helpless and a little impatient.
Considering that they had worked together for so long, he warned her: "Qiuyue, you know my temper. If it happens again, no one can save you."
Without caring whether Qiuyue listened or not, Changqing left after giving the warning.
Qiuyue, who was left where she was, gritted her teeth, feeling increasingly unwilling, with malice flashing in her eyes.
Why does Song Qianning deserve such favor from me?
…
Because she was concerned about the people, Song Qianning had little rest and was busy the whole time.
Her face looked a little haggard. When she stood up, her body shook and she almost fainted. Finally, she fell into someone's arms.
Qin Ye pursed his lips, picked her up and turned to leave.
Knowing that it was Qin Ye, Song Qianning only struggled twice, and gave up when she found that she couldn't struggle anymore.
Looking at the woman in his arms, Qin Ye finally spoke: "This time I will take you, Da Wang and Xiao Ya back to the capital together."
