Because the porridge was mixed with sand, the victims had to drink it carefully and spit out the sand in the bowl in order to avoid drinking the stones.

For a moment, the whole place was filled with the sound of people slowly sipping porridge. No one dared to make a noise. Those who had smashed their porridge bowls before all looked pale and ugly.

Fortunately, they each received half a bushel of rice, and after receiving the rice, they hurried home to fill their stomachs.

"I never thought that it was Miss Lin who suggested to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to add sand into the porridge bowls. Could it be that you are so heartless when you see these disaster victims suffering and starving?"

Si Xueyi looked at Lin Zan with confusion and questioning, as if Lin Zan had done something heinous and unforgivable.

"Miss Si, what you said seems to be that I have done something outrageous. If I don't mix sand into the porridge, a hundred dan of grain can only save four hundred people, but if I mix sand into it, it can save a thousand people."

"Actually, I just want all these disaster victims to survive." Lin Zan had a very hurt expression, and his young face was full of loss.

Si Xueyi was obviously stunned for a moment, as if Lin Zan was very hurt by what she had just said.

"How about this? Miss Si is so kind, she must want to do something for the disaster victims. Why don't you just set up a porridge stall and not mix sand into it? How about that?"

Lin Zan pretended to be innocent, tilted his head, and suggested to Si Xueyi in a cute tone.

Si Xueyi was in a dilemma after hearing Lin Zan's words, especially since she was the one who said that mixing sand into the porridge was too cruel.

So under the gaze of Lin Zhanmeng's cute big eyes, Si Xueyi could only agree reluctantly.

On the second day, a porridge stall appeared at the other side of the government office, which made Lin Zan reveal an inexplicable smile.

He knew that Si Xueyi, who was promoted by him, could only set up this porridge stall.

"You may not know this, but that porridge stall was set up by Miss Si. She bought a lot of food from the grain store with her own money." Some officers and soldiers said to their colleagues with admiration on their faces.

Soon, firewood was placed on the porridge shed, and the white rice was poured into the pot and boiled without adding even a grain of sand or soil.

Lin Zan half leaned against the window on the second floor, looking at Si Xueyi at the side door of the government office, but there was no sense of crisis on her face. Instead, she curled her lips and smiled, as if all this was within her calculations.

Soon, the aroma of rice porridge wafted around the government office and attracted many disaster victims. Si Xueyi, wearing a spotless white dress and a lotus jade hairpin on her head, stood there quietly and elegantly, like a painting.

"Starting today, I will set up a porridge shed here, and I won't add sand to my rice porridge. You can drink three bowls of porridge a day in the future." Si Xueyi said to the victims with a smile.

The victims immediately cheered and swarmed over to the porridge stall. Si Xueyi asked everyone to get bowls of porridge and was busy having a lot of fun.

Who would want to drink the rice porridge with sand when there is rice porridge without sand? Soon, there were only a few people left in the porridge stalls of Lin Zhan and Jun Beiqi, and they all went to the porridge stall in front of Si Xueyi to grab the porridge.

"The victims who drank porridge without sand will probably not be willing to drink porridge with sand." Jun Beiqi narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on the small figure beside him.

Lin Zhan smiled cutely, holding the heater tightly in his arms, and said nonchalantly, "Someone has helped us reduce the pressure of distributing porridge, why should we stop them? She distributes her porridge, and we distribute ours, and no one is hindering anyone else."

After saying this, Lin Zan was happy to remove one pot from his own porridge shed, leaving only one pot to provide porridge to the victims.

Soon there was no porridge left at Si Xueyi's porridge stall, and those victims who didn't get any porridge were still hungry. They had no choice but to go to Jun Beiqi and Lin Zan's porridge stalls to get porridge mixed with sand.

Everything was in order at the beginning. Because of her beautiful appearance and gentle personality, Si Xueyi was soon given the title of female Bodhisattva by the victims.

On the other hand, although Lin Zan was young, he mixed sand and soil into the porridge, and was called a little devil by the victims. The reputation of the two people was extremely different.

"Miss, all the money we brought was used to buy food, which is only enough for five days. Now we have no money left. What should we do?"

Haitang, the maidservant beside Si Xueyi, spoke to her mistress anxiously.

Just to win the respect from Lin Zan, Si Xueyi took out all the silver she had to buy food. On the one hand, she wanted to win the favor of Jun Beiqi, and on the other hand, she also wanted to win the hearts of the people.

However, she did not expect that this matter would not be so easy. Si Xueyi had no choice but to temporarily tell the victims the next day that she would not be distributing porridge today.

However, what was unexpected was that the victims who had originally had peaceful faces and were obediently receiving the porridge suddenly became like a different person, roaring at Si Xueyi with ferocious and crazy faces.

"How can you not give out porridge? If you don't give out porridge, what will we eat? Do you want to starve us to death?"

"That's right. Why don't you give out porridge? Our whole family is waiting for this bowl of porridge. It's none of our business if you don't have food. Anyway, you have to give out porridge."

The victims pressed forward towards Si Xueyi with terrifying faces, like evil spirits crawling out of hell.

This scared Si Xueyi, because she was distributing porridge at a small gate of the government office before, so she hurried into the government office, but she didn't expect that the excited victims also wanted to break in.

Many disaster victims have touched Si Xueyi's body, trying to grab her and snatch the jewelry and jade pendant on her head.

Although Si Xueyi was the adopted daughter of the Qin family, she had grown up in luxury and had never seen such a scene before. She was soon frightened to the point that her eyes turned red and tears fell down.

At this critical moment, Jun Beiqi arrived with soldiers and pushed all the victims out of the government office and rescued Si Xueyi.

Si Xueyi quickly threw herself into Jun Beiqi's arms and said with a choked voice, "I just want them to survive and save their lives, so I gave them porridge. Why did they treat me like this?"

However, he didn't expect that the next second Jun Beiqi pushed Si Xueyi away, and looked at the clothes on his chest that were wet with Si Xueyi's tears with some disgust.

"Not capable of accomplishing anything, but capable of causing trouble." Jun Beiqi coldly commented on Si Xueyi, turned around and left.

Si Xueyi stood there with her face covered and crying in despair. She really didn't know why she did good things but still didn't get Jun Beiqi's understanding.

On the other side, there was a commotion at the main government office, and many victims were once again dissatisfied with the practice of mixing sand and soil into the porridge.
