Chapter 249 An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
As long as she could endure until the prince gave her what he promised, it would not be too late to deal with Huan Yingsi slowly at that time.
Besides, she knew that although the prince looked indifferent on the surface, he was a very responsible person on the inside, otherwise he would not have gone against the queen for so long for her.
She turned her head and asked with tears on her face, "Did you buy the medicine I asked you to buy?"
Ling'er was stunned for a moment, but quickly responded, "I bought it. I followed the young lady's instructions and secretly went to several different clinics to buy medicine." She immediately lowered her voice and said, "I made sure no one would notice."
"Well done, don't worry, as long as I become the Crown Princess, I promise not to treat you unfairly."
Ling'er's face was filled with ecstasy, and she knelt down and kowtowed, "This servant did all these things willingly, so how can I deserve your thanks, young lady?"
Seeing her say this, but with the joy clearly hidden on her face, Song Rouxi pulled the corners of her mouth and said in a disdainful tone: "Okay, get up."
"yes."
The border is windy and sandy all year round, so the skin of people living on the border is obviously much rougher than that of people in Beijing.
Walking on the street, seeing that there were obviously more people and the previous order was slowly being restored, Song Ci couldn't help but smile.
Pei Ji and others were reorganizing their troops and preparing to return to Beijing. Before leaving, Song Ci wanted to go out and see the scenery of the border, so he took Wanxiang and Tianer out alone.
She had delicate skin and picturesque features, attracting many people's attention along the way. Fortunately, the customs of the people in the border area were much more open, and everyone looked at her with admiration and curiosity, wondering whose young lady was strolling out. They had not seen such a beautiful woman in the border area for a long time.
Tired of walking, the master and his two servants walked to a small restaurant for dinner.
Half of the tables and chairs in the restaurant were missing parts, and it was obvious that the owner had packed them up in a hurry. Seeing the three people walk in, the waiter came over and asked them in Mandarin with a slight accent what they wanted to eat.
The food in the border area is mainly pasta, and the meat is also large portions of beef and mutton. There is wind and sand here all year round and the weather is cold, so eating these can maximize the recovery of physical strength and temperature.
Song Ci thought about it and ordered some of each. The waiter smiled and promised to deliver it soon.
"This is probably the only restaurant still open on the border." Wanxiang looked around in amazement. "The decor is really different from the one in Beijing."
Tian'er: "You didn't see it, just now I saw a girl walking outside with a sword, she looked so majestic."
"I saw it too." Song Ci stroked the teacup. She was amazed by the scenes she saw along the way.
Women can walk around with swords, and they can go out to do business and show their faces in public without being criticized. The border is really a good place.
The food came up quickly, and Song Ci, being outside, was not formal and asked the two to sit down and eat together.
The dish didn't look very good, but it tasted extremely good. Neither the mutton nor the beef had a strong smell. It was cooked just right, retaining the original juice of the meat. Seeing Tian'er and Wanxiang eating with such satisfaction, Song Ci knew that they also liked it.
The three of them were eating, and they didn't notice at all that a person at the door paused, thought for a moment, and walked towards them.
When she got closer, Tian'er became alert instantly and stood up to stand in front of her.
The person who came was a woman. She was startled and then a little angry. "Why are you blocking my way?"
"I should be the one asking you this. You were sneaking around the door just now, and now you suddenly come forward. What exactly do you want to do?"
Song Ci put down his chopsticks behind him and looked at the woman.
She was a young girl, and even though her face was covered with dust, it couldn't hide her delicate and radiant complexion. She looked like... someone from Beijing.
She stared at the food on the table in front of Song Ci and licked her lips. "Can you finish all this..."
She approached and said, "People around here have suffered so much, and you are still eating and drinking here."
Song Ci frowned. At first, she had thought the girl was simply hungry, and that sharing some with her wouldn't matter, considering the three of them might not be able to finish it all. But the impolite words that followed instantly dispelled her thoughts, and her expression grew colder.
"I paid for my food and drinks, what does it have to do with you?"
She said confidently, "It has nothing to do with me, but I just can't stand people like you who enjoy themselves without caring about the lives of others. Why not share this food with the people who are suffering around here? That would be a good thing."
Her voice was quite loud and instantly attracted the attention of the people passing by. The owner and the waiter of the restaurant saw that the situation was not good and hurried forward to take the person out. God knows, it was so hard to get a customer to come, if they offended her, where would they go to cry?
Isn’t this harming people!
The woman being driven out shouted even louder, "Don't you dare to take responsibility for what you did? I said something wrong, and you're driving me away! You're bullying me! Everyone, come and see what's right."
The battle between the foreign races had just ended, and many people were having trouble getting food and drink. Upon hearing this, they immediately supported her, "This lady is right!"
"You can't finish all this food, right? Why not take some out and share it with everyone?" Some people spoke in a more tactful tone, but the core request was that Song Ci distribute the food.
There are shameless people, and there are shameless people.
"Aren't you robbers? If they are willing to divide, then divide. If they don't want to divide, don't force them. Our misfortune doesn't mean we will become bandits!" An aunt angrily spoke up for Song Ci and others.
Song Ci raised his eyebrows. It seemed that there were still sensible people in this world. Unlike the one in front of him, who seemed to be full of benevolence and righteousness, but was actually just satisfying his own selfish desires. He wanted food and wanted to stand on the moral high ground. His face was thicker than the border wall.
Wanxiang laughed in anger, stood up and pointed at her without any hesitation, "You said we should share the food with the people in distress around us, so what have you done?"
The man was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "I'm penniless and can't do anything I want to do."
Song Ci glanced at her and pointed at the jade pendant on her waist. "I think this jade pendant is worth a lot of money. Since you are so kind, why don't you take it out and exchange it for money? That way, you can give the people around you a good meal and also enhance your reputation as a kind and good person."
The girl immediately covered her mouth and said, "No!"
"Why not? Don't you want to be a good person and do good things?" Song Ci looked at her with a smile.
Her eyes rolled, "This is what my mother gave me!"
"The silver I just paid was also given to me by my parents."
"It's just some money, why are you so fussy about it?"
"You can't argue with money? This jade pendant is just a toy after all. It's not as important as human life. If you are willing to exchange it for food and share it with everyone, I'm sure your mother will understand your kindness."
Song Ci's argument left the other party dumbfounded. She was surprised to find that she seemed to have been trapped.
It was clearly me who set the trap for Song Ci to fall into, but how come the situation suddenly turned around and I am now in a difficult situation.
