“Miss Si Si’s fever has just subsided. She cannot be exposed to the rain again. There is an old carriage in the palace that can protect her from the wind and rain.”
There was a reason why Qi Mohan mentioned the old carriage.
The drought had lasted more than two years, and people could barely survive. Where was the fodder for the horses?
Qi Mohan had fought in many battles over the years and had long regarded horses as his comrades. At first, he was reluctant to kill the horses to satisfy their hunger, so he put his horses in the mountains. Whether they could survive depended on the horses’ luck.
Later, it was discovered that the people’s subordinates were almost starving to death, and it was even heard that the people in many places had reached the point of cannibalism to survive. If they were to be too soft-hearted and feel sorry for these horses, the people of Qiushui City might also be cannibalized if they starved for too long.
People could not survive, so he could no longer feel sorry for the horses. Finally, he reluctantly killed the few remaining horses in the palace for the people to eat.
That is to say, now, let alone Qiushui City, in all the disaster-stricken areas, not only are there no horses, but except for people who can still breathe, there are almost no other living creatures to be seen.
Only the original carriage was left in Prince Rong’s Mansion, so it can said to be an old carriage.
Qi Mohan thought that although there was no horse in the carriage, the wheels and the carriage were intact, so manpower could be arranged to pull the carriage, so that Si Si could sit in it and would not be caught in the rain again.
Si Chaoqun didn’t want to trouble Qi Mohan at first, but when he thought about his daughter’s condition, it was indeed not suitable for her to be exposed to the rain again.
Si Chaoqun had no objection, Qi Mohan immediately ordered Han Yi to make arrangements. Soon, several subordinates pulled a luxurious carriage to the gate of Qi Mozhu Garden.
Luo Xuehua helped Si Si to sit in the car.
Qi Mohan looked at Si Chaoqun and Luo Xuehua, who were still standing there, and said, “This is the carriage that my mother used to ride in. It’s very spacious inside. You can follow Miss Si Si and ride in.”
Si Chaoqun and Luo Xuehua looked at each other and did not object. They had just seen that the space in the carriage was indeed large enough, and Qi Mohan had specially called so many people to pull the carriage, so it should not be too difficult.
The family of three sat in the carriage. Qi Mohan gave an order, and his subordinates pulled the carriage out of Prince Rong’s mansion. Qi Mohan, wearing a bamboo hat, followed the side of the carriage.
Si Chaoqun’s home was not far from Prince Rong’s Mansion. It was just around the corner at the end of the widest street, in front of Prince Rong’s Mansion.
Si Chaoqun’s original incarnation had helped Qiao Zhenwu with many plans and strategies, so Qiao Zhenwu would naturally not treat him badly. A few years ago, Qiao Zhenwu bought this courtyard for himself.
Although the yard was not very big, it had a good location. The main street of Qiushui City was just outside the alley.
When Qiushui City was prosperous, the houses here were in short supply and many wealthy people lived nearby. At that time, this was considered the wealthy area of Qiushui City.
Unfortunately, the arrival of a drought turned the originally wealthy people into ordinary people who had to rely on Prince Rong’s relief to survive.
Despite this, the houses here still look very grand. After all, most of the people in Qiushui City did not leave their homes to escape famine due to the disaster.
The original inhabitants lived in the house. Even though they were hungry, there was still someone to take care of the house.
Only Si Chaoqun’s home was somewhat different from other people’s yards.
Because the original owner had left with his family and followed Qiao Zhenwu, the house had been left here for a long time and was not taken care of, so it looked a little shabby.
After Si Chaoqun and Luo Xuehua came here, they were worried about their livelihood all day and had no time to take care of it for the time being. Therefore, after they lived here for two days, the appearance of the house was still the same as when no one came back.
It’s just that the two of them had cleaned theroom they lived in, so it didn’t have much impact on their lives.
Si Chaoqun looked at the courtyard wall, which had several missing bricks, thinking that he would start repairing it after the rain stopped. Maybe this place would become a place for his family to live for a long time in the future…
Qi Mohan personally escorted Si Si’s family back, which was considered a major mobilization of troops in Qiushui City.
It’s not surprising that the people of Qiushui City don’t know anyone, but everyone knows His Royal Highness Prince Rong, whom they love.
Therefore, the news that Qi Mohan personally escorted a carriage here quickly spread among the people.
In particular, the neighbors who lived near Si Chaoqun’s home came out in the rain to watch after hearing the news.
When they saw the person getting off the carriage, they were all stunned…
The people that His Royal Highness Prince Rong personally escorted turned out to be that couple who were worse than pigs and dogs!
The neighbors around here were angry and puzzled at the same time.
Not only that, we also watched His Royal Highness Prince Rong treat the couple with great courtesy. Also, who was the beautiful girl who got out of the car with us?
If it were more than two years ago, this kind of thing would not have been difficult to guess. Si Chaoqun would always try to please Qiao Zhenwu and would often find a beautiful girl to send to him. Could it be that this time he changed the target of his flattery to Prince Rong, and the girl was given to Prince Rong?
Si Chaoqun’s family and Qi Mohan were unaware of the various speculations in the neighbors’ minds.
Qi Mohan had no intention of leaving immediately after sending the people here, and he naturally followed Si Chaoqun and others into the yard.
The people saw that His Royal Highness Prince Rong was not at all arrogant and followed the family into the yard, and they were more convinced that their previous guess was true.
Alas… It was true that beauties have always tempted heroes. Prince Rong, whom we all love, was conquered by Si Chaoqun’s family…
As soon as Si Chaoqun entered the yard, he saw several people walking out of the main house.
According to the original owner’s memory, he was familiar with all these people. In addition to the clan member who reminded others to get porridge at different times, there were also the clan leader of the Si family and several uncles.
Although these people are ordinary people, they hold a highly respected position in the Si family.
Si Yu was standing next to the tribesmen. He wanted to say something, but when he saw Prince Rong and his group following him, he opened and closed his mouth several times.
Si Chaoqun didn’t know why these people came here in such large numbers. Before he could ask, they knelt in the direction of Qi Mohan.
“We, the common people, are here to see His Royal Highness Prince Rong.” The members of the Si family all greeted Qi Mohan.
Qi Mohan knew little about Si Chaoqun’s family background. When he saw these people leaving his family, he was also confused. After asking those people to stand up, he looked at Si Chaoqun and asked what was going on.
Although Si Chaoqun knew the identities of these people, he was unclear about their purpose for coming. Seeing Qi Mohan asking him, he could only shake his head helplessly, indicating that he didn’t know.
No matter the purpose of these people coming here, Si Chaoqun, as the head of a family, will naturally not let the people present stand outside in the rain, so he asked everyone to go back to the main room.
