Before leaving, Xiao Youran led her guards up Three Sheep Mountain, bid a reluctant farewell to Xiaobai, the three lynxes and the black wolves, and brought back a lot of prey.
The house was in a mess. The people in front were carrying some potato snacks, but Old Feng was carrying bloody prey. He couldn't just go in, so he put a sack of bloody pheasants in a corner by the door and went out to move more.
Unexpectedly, two figures suddenly jumped out from some unknown corner and pounced on the sack on the ground.
Before Lao Feng could even stop them, the two men deftly opened the sack, quickly grabbed the contents, and started eating them.
Old Feng was stunned.
Several guards followed, carrying their prey. Upon seeing this, they shouted, "Who goes there?!"
The two men glanced at them slightly, but their mouths continued to gnaw, their mouths full of blood and hair.
Old Feng and his guards felt nauseous at the sight.
Song Da stepped forward and kicked one of them to the ground, while Song Er kicked the other to the ground. They snatched their prey from their mouths and then carried the two crazy women out the door.
The guards quickly carried in the remaining game. As Old Feng unloaded his horse and prepared to close the gate, the two madwomen suddenly lunged at the door, slurring, "Su Yao, please! Please give us something to eat!"
The guards were about to kick the men away when Old Feng looked at them and asked, "Who are you?"
How did you know the name Su Yao?
He was an elder of the Su family, so he naturally knew that Su Yao was the maiden name of Old Madam Yun before her marriage. Could it be that these two knew Old Madam Yun?
The woman brushed aside the messy hair on her forehead, and then brushed aside the other woman's messy hair as well. "My mother is from the Yun family. Please have mercy and give her something to eat!"
The woman pushed her mother, "Mother, Su... no, Aunt Yun is back! We must quickly beg her to give us something to eat!"
When Zhao's mother heard this, she rushed to the door and saw that it was none other than Yun Liumei and her daughter Feng Qing'er.
Su Yue had already rushed into the house to deliver the message.
Old Madam Yun and Madam Su came out again. When they saw Yun Liu Mei and her daughter, who were paralyzed like beggars by the door, their thoughts were complicated.
When Feng Qing'er saw that Old Madam Yun had returned, she immediately pressed her mother's head down and kowtowed, "Fourth Aunt! Fourth Uncle! Please, give us something to eat! We only have one breath left!"
Perhaps it was from the impact that Yun Liu Mei suddenly woke up. She abruptly raised her head and saw the well-dressed and rosy-cheeked Old Madam Yun. Her eyes flashed with intense hatred and jealousy. She raised her hand and pointed at Old Madam Yun, angrily shouting, "Su Yao! You colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country! You deserve to have your property confiscated! Didn't you have your property confiscated? How dare you dress so well and eat so well?!"
He then bared his teeth and claws, about to pounce on her.
Madam Yun took a step back, and the last trace of sympathy in her heart vanished.
Just then, a horse galloped in from outside the gate, and with a flick of its whip, Yun Liu Mei was lifted into the air and thrown directly outside the courtyard gate.
Upon closer inspection, Madam Yun realized it was Wen Yuanbai.
Wen Yuanbai jumped off his horse, first having Nan Zhuo deal with Yun Liu Mei on the ground, then bowed to Madam Yun and said, "Madam Yun, are you well?"
Madam Yun nodded in acknowledgment, "Young Master Wen is well."
Unexpectedly, Feng Qing'er crawled over to the door and kowtowed repeatedly to Old Madam Yun, crying, "Fourth Aunt! My mother deserves her punishment, but I haven't done anything to wrong you! Please, please spare me! Please save me!"
Madam Yun said coldly, "You have fallen to this state because the Feng family abandoned you. You brought this upon yourselves. What does it have to do with me?"
Feng Qing'er cried, "It's my mother's fault! Please, please, let the young county princess take back her curse! We'll never dare to do it again..."
Su was furious, "What nonsense are you spouting!"
Wen Yuanbai frowned and gestured to Nan Zhuo. Nan Zhuo stepped forward and pulled Feng Qing'er away as well.
Feng Qing'er cried out, "Please, young county princess..."
Before she could finish speaking, a guard covered her mouth, and she and Yun Liumei were taken away together.
Inside the house, Xiao Youran and Zhou Shi were looking at each other with worried expressions.
The Zhou family was worried that they had money but couldn't buy grain.
Xiao You Ran was worried because she had food but couldn't get it out.
When she heard that her senior brother had arrived, her eyes lit up.
Someone's been chosen to take the blame!
Food and such are not a problem!
She jumped up from her chair and went out to greet them.
He didn't even bother to greet Madam Yun and Madam Su when he met them, and went straight to the outer courtyard.
Passing through the crescent-shaped gate, one sees a tall, upright young man in white standing with his hands behind his back in front of the corridor.
She shouted excitedly, "Senior Brother Da Bai!"
Wen Yuanbai's lips twitched.
Well, considering how happy she was to see me, I can ignore the word "Big White" in her name.
Although he sensed that her unusual excitement was definitely suspicious.
Xiao Youran grinned and pulled him outside, saying, "Come on, let's go to my courtyard! Senior brother, I have something important to tell you."
Wen Yuanbai was surprised. He only had time to glance at the people in the flower hall and nod casually as a greeting before Xiao Youran pulled him away.
Madam Su helped Old Madam Yun sit down and shook her head, "This child!"
Madam Yun smiled, but she was referring to someone else, "This child is no ordinary person. Did you find out his identity in the capital?"
Madam Su shook her head, "No female members of the Xuan Prince's Mansion are in the capital, so I cannot go to express my gratitude. The Xuan Prince's Mansion has done a great favor for my daughter and me, saving our lives time and time again."
Madam Yun's face darkened. "The Jiang family actually dared to commit the crime of killing a wife and children. When we return to the capital, I'll tear them apart!"
On the other side, Xiao Youran pulled her senior brother to her small courtyard and began to hold up her palms to compare with Wen Yuanbai's chest. Finally, she said dejectedly, "Senior Brother Da Bai, let alone Xiao Bai, its head is incomparable to that of a human. In the past six months, I thought I had grown a lot taller, but how come I am still so much shorter than you?"
Wen Yuanbai was both amused and annoyed. "You're growing taller, and so am I."
How could you compare yourself to a tiger?
Felines are considered adults at one to three years old, okay?
Although Xiao Bai is not as big as an adult tiger, its size is already two-thirds that of a tiger.
Wen Yuanbai patted Xiao Youran's head and said, "So, Junior Sister, you seem so happy. Is there some misunderstanding you're trying to cover up?"
Xiao Youran hummed twice, put her hands on her hips, and said, "So, Senior Brother came to see me because you need someone's help?"
Wen Yuanbai chuckled and readily admitted, "Yes, Senior Brother knows that Junior Sister is incredibly resourceful and can procure large quantities of grain and rice. Wufeng County is currently facing a severe food shortage, and the imperial court's grain supplies are also needed to support the soldiers on the border. I'm afraid it won't reach Wufeng County for a while. Why don't you give the imperial court a suggestion?"
