Although it was dangerous to let Shangguan Han go with them, there was no other way.

Now that the commoners of Xunyang City were extremely disappointed in the Imperial Court, it was a good time to win over the hearts of the people. He could not let Shangguan Han miss this opportunity.

A few days ago, it could be said that His Highness had just woken up and had yet to recover. Thus, Song Jingchen took his place temporarily.

However, this could not continue. After all, Shangguan Han was the most important person here.

To put it bluntly, he was simply using this as a tactic to win the hearts of the people. Only Shen Yijia, that silly girl, thought that he was a good person.

Shangguan Han understood that Song Jingchen was doing this for his own good and didn’t refute.

Song Jingchen brought the potatoes back to the bamboo courtyard. When Shen Yijia saw him return, she quickly went forward. When she found out that the potatoes were from a foreign country, she was disappointed.

“Can you give me this potato?” Shen Yijia pursed her lips and asked. There was only one potato. It couldn’t be eaten and didn’t look good. Song Jingchen probably didn’t have a use for it anymore.

“Yes.” Song Jingchen rubbed her head. He only brought it back because he saw that she liked it. Seeing Shen Yijia’s dejected expression, he smiled lightly and said, “Don’t worry, I’m here. Don’t you always say that I’m the best?”

When Shen Yijia heard him say this, she knew that he was coaxing her again. She cooperated and raised her chin with a proud expression. “My husband is naturally the most powerful, but you have to take care of your health. Next time…”

Shen Yijia wanted to say that she could help the next time they went into the mountains. Suddenly, an idea flashed across her mind, and she swallowed her words.

Fortunately, the rain didn’t last long. It stopped on the third day. Song Jingchen went out, and Shen Yijia left the residence with Mo Yuan.

It had just rained, and the temperature suddenly dropped. Shen Yijia gathered her clothes.

In fact, she rarely strolled on this street. She would rather follow her beautiful husband.

However, to her surprise, as soon as she appeared, she was recognized by the pedestrians.

Everyone looked at her with fear and awe.

Shen Yijia tilted her head. She understood. She had become famous through a single battle again.

“Madam, see if there’s anything you want. Just take it.”

A merchant said boldly.

Currently, money could not compare to food in Xunyang City, so they used food to barter.

Shen Yijia looked over. The merchant was selling ordinary cloth shoes. She expressed that she was not short of shoes.

With this person taking the lead, the others also offered the things they sold. They were all worth pennies, no one sold any food.

There were straw shoes made of cattails, or bamboo baskets and mats. After all, bamboo was the most common plant in Xunyang City.

Shen Yijia frowned. Was she that scary? What did he take her for, a local ruffian who collected protection fees?

Look at their trembling legs. She rolled her eyes and squeezed through the crowd, ignoring them.

“Madam, you’re right. Young Master Shenzhi is a good person. My father already knows his mistake. Can you stop hitting him?”

Unexpectedly, Shen Yijia had just taken a few steps out of the crowd when she was stopped by a seven or eight-year-old girl.

Shen Yijia was speechless. Who was she going to hit again?

However, this girl looked sincere and said it seriously. She did not seem to be lying at all.

Shen Yijia elbowed Mo Yuan and asked, “Did these people misunderstand something?”

Mo Yuan shook her head. “It’s probably because Miss was too fierce last time. I thought that you were going to hit someone again.”

The last time Shen Yijia hit someone, Mo Yuan was not in Xunyang City.

However, after that, the servants in the residence would discuss it from time to time. After listening a few times, she understood the reason.

In the eyes of these commoners, Shen Yijia only left the residence to cause trouble.

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Shen Yijia thought.

She was about to say, “Why would I hit your father for no reason?”

A man suddenly ran out and pulled the girl into his arms. He covered her mouth with his hand and reprimanded, “Eldest daughter, what nonsense are you talking about? Madam is so kind. She definitely won’t beat us anymore.”

After saying that, he even smiled at Shen Yijia ingratiatingly.

Shen Yijia raised her eyebrows. She remembered this person. Wasn’t this the man she had beaten up last time? He was the one who badmouthed Song Jingchen the most.

'.',

The man shuddered under her gaze and was about to kneel down and beg for mercy when the girl broke free from his grip and reached out her hand. “Madam, I’ll let you eat this. Please forgive my father this once.”

She was holding a black ball in her hand. Shen Yijia could no longer see its original appearance. Shen Yijia guessed that it was made of wild vegetables.

The girl couldn’t bear to eat it, so she pinched it until it turned black.

Shen Yijia shook her head. “Eat it yourself. As long as your father doesn’t speak ill of my husband again, I won’t hit him.”

At this moment, someone shouted from behind, “Miss Liu is out giving porridge again. Everyone, quickly line up. If you’re late, it’ll be gone.”

As soon as she said this, Shen Yijia could clearly feel it. The gazes on her instantly disappeared. Only the father and daughter in front of her were still staring at her.

Shen Yijia gritted her teeth. “Go ahead. Why are you looking at me? I didn’t give you anything to eat.”

She had only wanted to come out and see how the citizens were doing. Now that she saw them, she realized that it was more serious than she had imagined.

She suddenly felt depressed and was no longer in the mood to shop. She called Mo Yuan and went back to the residence.

From afar, they could see that everyone was gathered in another place. It should be the place where they distributed the porridge.

Just as everyone was about to starve, someone actually came out to provide porridge. Shen Yijia could not help but ask curiously, “Who is that? They’re so rich.”

Mo Yuan said, “It’s the richest family in Xunyang City, the Liu family. I heard that before the Hun army’s siege, the madam of the Liu family happened to go back to her maiden home.”

“She only returned to Xunyang City recently and brought back a lot of food. In the next few days, Miss Liu will come to the city gate to provide porridge.”

“That is really a good person.” Shen Yijia sighed.

Mo Yuan did not comment. She only said, “During the days when Xunyang City was besieged, the Liu family’s Old Master even donated most of the food in the family.”

Shen Yijia was dumbfounded.

In fact, no matter where it was, there would definitely be rich people.

However, in Xunyang City, most people would choose to move out of this city that was often harassed by the Huns as soon as they had money. Not many people could stay here forever.

The Liu family was unique.

Seeing that her young lady seemed to have a good impression of the Liu family, Mo Yuan lowered her eyes and swallowed the words she was about to say.

Unless someone gossiped in Shen Yijia’s ear, she did not know much about the outside world.

Naturally, Shen Yijia did not hear many people discussing Miss Liu and Song Jingchen lately.

Mo Yuan wanted to remind her, but she felt that there was no need. Her young mistress and her husband were so close that she would not be affected by these rumors. If she said it, it would only affect her young mistress’s mood.
