As soon as the maid said this, the noisy scene around her suddenly became quiet. What did she just say?
People were stunned and looked at the maid in silence.
The maidservant suddenly became even more flustered. "I, I don't know. That was just the young lady's nonsense. She kept saying she didn't want to eat the disaster relief food sent from the underworld..."
The maidservant didn't look like she was lying. She didn't know where the disaster relief food came from, and she had never seen the deal between Feng Ling and the ghost catcher.
However, she knew that the inn suddenly had a lot of food overnight, so where did the food come from? She didn't hear any sound of carriages bringing in food at night.
In addition, the young lady suddenly fell ill and was talking nonsense, which scared the maid half to death.
At that time, the young lady was with His Majesty, the Regent and others. Did she witness something horrible with her own eyes?
The young lady has been cursing these days, saying that a new witch has appeared around His Majesty and has bewitched him, and that the witch can communicate with ghosts and gods.
If they could bring some food from the underworld, that would be possible, but who could guarantee that it was real food and not made from dead flesh?
The maidservant was pale and shaky. If it weren't for taking care of her own lady, she would have fainted.
The maidservant still didn't dare to eat anything. She didn't know whether the inn used the disaster relief food to cook.
"Who is your young lady? Is she crazy? How can there be food in the underworld?" Besides, who has the ability to bring things up from the underworld?
The maid burst into tears. "Yes, it's true. Food appeared out of thin air in the inn overnight. If you don't believe me, you can ask the innkeeper."
"Suck!" So, is it true? The innkeeper is from the local Bai family, there's no way he'd lie.
"You said your young lady guarded the altar all night. Could it be that your young lady is the Saint of our Saint An Country?!"
Doctor Li suddenly caught some details and revealed the identity of this young lady.
The maid hesitated for a moment. The young lady's identity had been revealed at the altar before. It shouldn't matter if it was known now, right?
So, the maid nodded and said, "Yes, my lady is the eldest daughter of the Su family in the capital, and she is a saint with an official rank."
"Ah! No wonder I felt this maid was familiar. I saw her at the altar that day."
"So what she said is true? Did the Saint really say that?"
"Why? That's disaster relief grain distributed by the government. It's impossible for it to harm the people."
"But the Saint was frightened and fell ill, which means that the food came from the underworld."
"Damn it! How could the new master harm others? Can people eat things from the underworld? Will he die?"
"How could something like this happen right after Lord An died? These officials from the capital don't take the lives of ordinary people seriously at all."
"Why did Magistrate An die suddenly as soon as they arrived? Could it be that they killed Magistrate An?"
"Suck! Damn it! It must be! Miss Lian An is missing too. Didn't she also meet with an accident?"
"We can't just leave it like this. County Magistrate An is dead, Miss An is dead, and now the Saint is going to die too? Who will be next? Will it be us?"
The scene suddenly became chaotic, and more and more people gathered. They went from being confused at first to being frightened, and finally to being extremely angry.
So, under the instigation of some people, they threw away the relief food in their hands and rushed to the inn.
The maid was left bewildered. What had she said? What had she done? She clearly didn't want to do anything, so why did these people come to the inn?
Not only is my young lady there, but His Majesty is also there. If something happens to His Majesty, then I'm done for, right?
The maidservant was suddenly terrified and began to step back. Anyway, the young lady was always harsh to them, the servants, so why not run away?
Before the word had even sunk into her mind, the maidservant started running in the opposite direction. She was in trouble, serious trouble, and going back would mean death. She had to run as far as she could, as there was still a glimmer of hope.
"Hey, girl, where are you going? The inn is over there!" Doctor Li looked confused.
He didn't really believe in the underworld or the world of the living. Looking at the food thrown all over the ground, his heart ached.
Are these people stupid? It is obvious that several major businesses in the county are instigating the commotion and leading these people towards the Bai Family Inn.
Because after the An family got into trouble, it was said that the Bai family received the news first and acquired most of the An family's industries overnight, which caused dissatisfaction among many big businesses.
This is a collective attack on the Bai family.
What role did this maid play? Doctor Li didn't know, "Is the Saint really ill? Does she still need to see a doctor?"
Doctor Li asked the two guards, causing them to look at each other in confusion. They were still confused. They were guards of the Su family, so they should focus on the eldest lady's illness. What if she was really sick?
"If you want to see it, please come in." The two men had no expression on their faces and didn't want to bother with the maid. Anyway, she couldn't run far, so they decided to wait for the young lady to give the order before making any plans.
A group of angry people banged on the door and broke into the inn, demanding an explanation from the Bai family.
They knew that the new official also lived here, so the Bai family colluded with the government.
Why would they want to kill the people of their entire county? They had finally waited for the rain and water, so why would they want to kill them?
In fact, only Huo Jinxing and Feng Ling were in the inn, and everyone else had gone to help distribute food.
"What happened?" Huo Jinxing put down the book in his hand and asked in a low voice to the air. When he was about to get up, he still woke up Feng Ling who was sleeping.
"What's wrong?" Feng Ling got up in a daze, feeling that there was chaos outside. Could it be that the people were too excited about getting the food?
"It's nothing, you go to sleep, I'll go check." The book said that pregnant women are often sleepy, so Huo Jinxing naturally wanted Feng Ling to get more rest.
"I can't sleep." It's so noisy, only a pig would wake up.
"Then I'll dress you and comb your hair." Huo Jinxing now does these things naturally and enjoys them very much.
"Just comb my hair, I really can't do it." She is not as dexterous as a man, ashamed, fake! Feng Ling does not feel guilty, and she also enjoys it very much.
When the two of them had almost finished packing and were about to go out, they saw a chaotic crowd already at the door of their courtyard.
"It's right here! Look, the traces came out from here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the courtyard was kicked open and a group of people of all ages rushed in.
But when they saw a stunningly beautiful couple in the corridor opposite, they froze.
Did they walk into the wrong door? How could such a beautiful couple be evil?
The beauty and the embarrassment formed a sharp contrast. Feng Ling's side was wanton and lazy, which immediately embarrassed the people who rushed in, and they felt uneasy for a while.
It’s normal to feel uneasy. The person they are facing is the emperor. How can there be no pressure at all?
"What's wrong with you?" Feng Ling was so pure and innocent, like a kind little fairy. How could she be a bad person?
