The little girl shook her head firmly.
"Your Majesty, I don't want this money. I know you must have supernatural powers. Could you speak to the gods in heaven and ask them to help my young master?"
"His life has been truly pitiful."
“His biological mother died when he was very young. Later, his father married a wicked stepmother who outwardly indulged my young master in everything and did whatever he said, but inwardly she spoke ill of my young master everywhere and even poisoned him.”
"Later, my son met a very kind-hearted young lady who exposed his stepmother's true colors, but his father was bewitched by her and refused to believe it even when the facts were right in front of him."
"In the end, Prince Shun led his troops to attack. His stepmother took all the family wealth, took her own son and left, and even killed my young master's father."
Lin Ru and Wu Juan exchanged glances, both feeling that what the little girl was saying sounded very familiar.
It felt like I had experienced it firsthand.
The little girl continued to sob, "My young master's maternal uncle loved him very much, but when Prince Shun attacked, all the officials abandoned the city and fled. My young master's maternal uncle, in order to resist Prince Shun and buy time to give the people a way to survive, was ridiculed by Prince Shun's soldiers in various ways, and finally died on the back of his horse!"
"My young master originally wanted to stay, but his doting uncle knocked him unconscious and ordered his trusted men to send him out!"
"From then on, he always had a knot in his heart."
"He was depressed all day long."
"When he learned that Your Majesty had personally killed Prince Shun, he was overjoyed. If you are willing to visit my young master with your family, perhaps a miracle will happen."
Lin Ru could already picture the horrific scene just listening to the little girl's account.
After all, she knew how ruthless Prince Shun was!
So she readily agreed.
She wanted to see if this so-called young master was really him.
So they followed the little girl through many twists and turns until they arrived at a very remote place. Although the place was not large, it was inhabited by many people. According to the little girl, the people here were all refugees who had fled from war.
Although Her Majesty the Queen promised them land for free, they would have to build the structures there themselves through their own efforts!
Naturally, corresponding jobs were also provided. Those families with more able-bodied members built large houses, but those with fewer able-bodied members, or those who were lazy, could only build a simple thatched hut in this place.
He and his young master arrived relatively late, and the two of them were the only ones in the family who depended on each other for survival. At the beginning, the little girl even fell seriously ill, so it was only her young master who was able to work, which is why they managed to build a small house here.
However, this young master has fallen ill due to overwork and the fact that the poison his stepmother had given him was not completely eradicated.
As they walked in, little by little.
I also saw the plight of many people at the bottom of society!
Lin Ru had previously thought that she couldn't keep supporting these refugees indefinitely. These refugees were able-bodied and had hands and feet. Since they wanted food and shelter, they should take care of themselves and be self-sufficient.
She had already provided these people with opportunities to make money, which was more than enough, but looking at the scene before her now, she still felt that she hadn't thought things through enough.
In fact, after that ordeal, many families lost their breadwinner.
Even though he survived, he suffered considerable injuries, both major and minor.
There are many jobs that they are simply not up to the task!
The most crucial point is that wherever there are people, there will be a social hierarchy. No matter how she manages it or how strictly she prohibits it, this society is one where personal relationships come first.
Everyone wants to reserve the most respectable and relaxed job for their closest loved ones.
Newcomers like these often face some degree of exclusion.
Every company prefers to hire people who are capable and free from illnesses.
These newcomers could only do their best to barely make ends meet.
Lin Ru planned to come up with a foolproof plan after she returned.
Just as she was deep in thought, the little maid pointed somewhat reservedly to a small courtyard, "Your Majesty! This is our courtyard. It's a bit dilapidated, but we hope you won't find it offensive."
Looking at the small courtyard in front of her, Lin Ru recalled the dilapidated thatched hut when she first transmigrated here.
She smiled and said, "What's there to complain about? I've lived in much more dilapidated houses."
The little girl was somewhat surprised to hear this.
Before I could say anything more, a weak male voice came from inside.
"My wife, is that you back?"
Lin Ru looked at the little girl next to her with some surprise.
My wife?
It seems that the relationship between these two is quite special.
The little girl blushed with embarrassment.
"Young Master! It's me who's back! And I've brought back a very powerful person with me."
The thin man inside the room said somewhat unhappily, "Didn't I say I was going to call you husband?"
"Why are you still calling me 'Young Master'?"
"By the way, what did you do outside today?"
"Why did it take you so long to get back? Did you encounter any danger outside?"
"Whom did you bring back?"
Is it a man or a woman?
"You didn't do anything strenuous for my health, did you?"
The man had spoken so much in one breath, but then seemed to run out of breath and started coughing incessantly, as if he was about to pass out.
The little girl was so frightened that she quickly took two steps away.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
"It's a woman. Don't worry, I met a kind person when I went out this time. As long as you see her, your illness will be mostly cured."
The man continued coughing.
Lin Ru followed closely behind and went into the house.
Then I saw a gaunt-faced, emaciated man lying on the edge of the earthen bed, coughing incessantly.
Her face was flushed an unnatural red!
And judging from his violent coughing, it felt like his lungs were about to come out and his body was about to fall apart.
The little girl was extremely anxious, fetching water and medicine.
"Young master, did you forget to take your medicine today? Why aren't you taking it? How can you get better if you don't take it? Take this medicine quickly, don't worry about the money."
"I have already gotten back the money that Manager Liu owed you."
The thin man gripped the little girl's wrist tightly.
I wanted to say something, but I couldn't catch my breath.
In the end, I obediently took the medicine.
After she finished eating, the little girl vigorously patted her back and forth until she slowly recovered.
He had just recovered when he examined the little girl's body with a look of heartache on his face.
