Chapter 689: Xi’er’s Mother
Seeing Mrs. Feng looking at her eagerly, wanting to know what happened to her son, Liu Yunxiang stopped talking and returned to Xi'er.
This girl was holding on to the fence, her eyes were darting around, and she wanted to join in the fun.
"Sister Liu, do you know the sister in the next cell?"
Liu Yunxiang said helplessly: "This is death row."
"I know."
"Aren't you afraid?"
The little girl shook her head, "I'm not afraid, my mother will definitely save me."
Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "Your mother?"
The little girl scratched her head and said a little embarrassedly: "Mom won't let me talk nonsense outside. Anyway, Sister Liu doesn't have to worry about me."
When leaving, Liu Yunxiang went next door to take another look at Feng. She held the door open and looked at her beggingly.
Liu Yunxiang still didn't say anything about her son's situation. She only said: "You have thought about whether you killed Xiao Wu and what happened that day. When I come over someday, you'd better tell the truth. Can you?
Reunite with your son, but it depends on whether you are willing to seize the opportunity."
After coming out of the jail in Jingzhao Mansion, Liu Yunxiang returned to the alley, opened the door and went in. Jin Yan hurriedly ran out of the house when he saw her.
"Girl, Miss Xi'er's mother is here."
Liu Yunxiang was slightly startled, and then followed Jin Yan into the hall. He saw a woman wearing a purple cotton-padded jacket, with a belt of the same color around her waist, her hair tied up, and wrapped in a gray cloth sitting on a chair.
There was a big bundle at her feet, and a big knife leaning next to it. When she heard the noise, the woman turned her head, and Liu Yunxiang's eyes couldn't help but light up.
This woman is very beautiful, not arrogant, but heroic and soothing. Although there are wrinkles on her face, she looks very energetic, and her eyebrows are very similar to Xi'er.
The woman stood up, looked Liu Yunxiang up and down first, then cupped her fists and saluted.
"Are you Princess Zhenbei?"
Liu Yunxiang hurriedly returned the courtesy, "Yes, are you Miss Xi'er's mother?"
The woman nodded, "My surname is An."
"Aunt An."
Liu Yunxiang called out politely, then walked into the hall and sat down on the seat next to her. She took another look at the huge luggage at the woman's feet and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I originally planned to take this girl Xi'er north to Beijin. Before setting off, she ran away secretly and left me a letter saying that I would give her half a month to save a few children. This
Not half a month later, I went to the city to find her."
"Then how did you know she was here?"
"Xi'er told me that the princess is a good person. She sold the jade hairpin to her at a loss, and she also helped save several children from the Shan Nian camp. Thinking that you might have news about her, I went to Lingyun Food Store
, your guys asked me to come here."
That's it. Liu Yunxiang nodded clearly, "Then you probably don't know about her being imprisoned, right?"
The woman frowned, "She was put in jail?"
Liu Yunxiang told Aunt An not to worry, and then told her what happened in detail.
After hearing this, Aunt An was so angry that she slammed the table, "This damn girl, I told her not to cause trouble during this period, but she won't listen!"
This palm seemed to be without much force and there was not much movement, but the corner of the table cracked.
"She's really itchy. I'll give her a good beating later!"
Liu Yunxiang swallowed, "She, she also wanted to help those children..."
"You only help people if you have the ability. Does she have that ability?"
"this……"
"Did she hurt you?"
"I can't say that. I also want to help those children."
Aunt An thought for a while, then turned to ask Liu Yunxiang: "What is the situation in the Shan Nian Camp? Princess Lao, please tell me."
The outside world really doesn't know what the situation is like at Shan Nian Camp, but she told Aunt An, and how can she help.
Even though she asked, Liu Yunxiang still said everything.
Aunt An was very plainly dressed, like a peasant woman, but Liu Yunxiang always felt like she was a hidden master.
After listening to what Liu Yunxiang said, Aunt An frowned even more.
"Isn't the imperial court harming people's lives?"
Liu Yunxiang was startled by this bold statement. Fortunately, in her home, the partition wall should have no ears.
"Miss Xi'er has a chivalrous spirit. She wanted to save those dozen children, but she ended up like this."
Aunt An rolled up her sleeves and said angrily: "I still have to let me save her!"
As she said that, she actually picked up the big knife placed next to her.
"You don't mean to want to..."
Prison robbery?
"You'd better think twice before you act."
As soon as Liu Yunxiang said these words, he saw Aunt An put the knife on her back, then bent down and put the big baggage on her back.
"Princess, stay."
After saying that, Aunt An carried the mountain-like luggage and walked out briskly.
Liu Yunxiang came to his senses and hurriedly chased Aunt An out the door to see her off, but Aunt An was walking fast and furious. She only caught up to her back, and she quickly disappeared at the end of the alley.
Zijin looked admiring, "This Aunt An must be a martial arts master!"
One day later, Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to go to Jingzhao Mansion to inquire. They only said that Xi'er had been released, and nothing else was said.
After hearing this, Liu Yunxiang could not guess the identity of Aunt An, but she must be of great importance.
The fourth prince, Qin Shengrui, took over the Shannian Camp. As soon as he took over, he ordered people to strengthen the walls and sent additional people to arrest the escaped people in the city. He seemed to be acting vigorously and resolutely, but then the people of the Shannian Camp opened the door to dispose of the corpses.
At that time, they actually formed a rope and rushed outside. There was a conflict between the officers and soldiers and the people inside, and dozens of people were killed and injured on both sides.
The more difficult it becomes, the more chaotic it becomes, and the more chaotic it becomes, the more difficult it is to control. The public security in the city is getting worse and worse, and the people are complaining.
"He started with tough tactics, and now he's adopting soft tactics." The old prince poured a cup of tea and then said.
When the old prince put down his teacup, Liu Yunxiang poured him another cup.
"Why are you so gentle?"
"He set up a porridge tent outside the Shan Nian Camp, cooked several large pots of fragrant and glutinous rice, and steamed more than a dozen baskets of large white steamed buns. He promised that those who escaped from the Shan Nian Camp would not be held responsible as long as they came back.
Compared to what happened before, I can still have enough to eat. In the future, I will also be able to have three meals a day at Shan Nian Camp." The old prince said as he stroked his beard with satisfaction.
"so good?"
"I saw it with my own eyes."
"Is anyone going back?"
"Now the common people's doors are closed, and the shops are closed. Those who escaped are still hungry and cold, and have no way to survive. Although they don't believe in the imperial court, they still go back because they are hungry. I
I saw them receive porridge and steamed buns, eat well, and then go back. The officers and soldiers were not in trouble. So within three days, other people who escaped will also go back."
Previously, she had donated a hundred stones of food, and the old prince personally supervised the distribution to the people of Shan Nian Camp. However, one hundred stones of food was far from enough. If it was true as Qin Shengrui said, the imperial court would provide three meals a day for Shan Nian Camp.
If they are fed every day, they will still need tens of thousands of kilo of food to survive this winter.
Does the court have one?
The court doesn’t have it!
Liu Yunxiang was silent for a moment and said: "Could this be a trap, just to catch those who escaped? Once they are caught, the relief will be cut off?"
The old prince's eyes widened, "He is a prince and represents the court, so he doesn't mean to keep his word, right?"
