Chapter 65: Sisters on Flight

The drizzle has been drizzling in the capital for several days. Today is finally clear. The sun is exceptionally shining. Reflected in the green vegetation. Shining with a sparkling light.

The streets of the capital are by the river. Catkins flying in the air. The grass blooms with the breath of spring.

On the banks of the river. There are several small boats docked. There are piles of various goods on it.

A new day begins. The number of people in the streets gradually increased. Chattering. Bustling. The hawkers also carry their own burdens. One by one on the side of the street. Waiting for the guests to come.

Morning. Su Yirong packed up. I ran down the street with Xiaoxue. Because of the continuous rain. She's been in the house for a few days now. I finally looked forward to the sunny weather. I can't wait to hit the streets.

Xiaoxue quipped, "Miss. It's like you haven't been shopping. So excited."

Su Yirong stretched out his hand and gave Xiaoxue a "blast". Holding your head and smirking. Su Yirong smiled slightly. Dare to joke Miss. Hmm."

"Miss. Xiaoxue didn't dare." Xiaoxue hugged her head and said with a smile.

"Dare to laugh." Su Yirong chased after her and wanted to hit her. Xiaoxue immediately ran forward. Accidentally bumped into a passerby in front of you. I said I'm sorry again and again.

Su Yirong pulled Xiaoxue aside. Looking at the person who hit the little snow. It's a girl. But seventeen or eighteen years old. It should be in the prime of youth. but in rags. Yellow face and thin muscles. There was a little girl beside her who was also in ragged clothes. The same is the face of yellow muscles and skinny. It's very pathetic.

Su Yirong's heart was stagnant. Bow down. Ask the little girl." Why do you guys look like this. I haven't eaten in a long time."

Little girl with round eyes. Slightly scared, he looked at Su Yirong. Nodding. The girl holding her by her side. Suddenly he knelt down at her. With a crying voice, he said, "Please be kind to this young lady. Give us a few copper plates. My sister and I haven't eaten for days." She started crying as she spoke. He looked down at his tattered shoes. Dirty and messy clothes. and the smell that emanates from the whole body. Once again, tears flowed uncontrollably.

Su Yirong hurriedly reached out to help them up. The girl immediately dodged her hand. "Don't let our dirty clothes stain Miss's hands."

Su Yirong frowned. Lift her up." You come with me."

Su Yirong instructed Xiaoxue to go back to the house and get two sets of clean clothes. And he brought them to the inn. Instructed Xiao Er to prepare hot water. Let them take a bath. Changed into clothes. Then go downstairs and have a bite to eat.

Maybe I'm starving. The two of them devoured and ate. Su Yirong's heart was sour. Hurriedly handed them a glass of water." Eat slowly. Not enough to call again."

Her voice fell. The girl in front of her began to cry." Miss, you are such a wonderful person. My sister and I have nothing else to repay. Just let my sister and I serve Miss. We can do anything."

Wenyan. Su Yirong's heart became more and more sour. "Can you tell me. What happened to you? How did it come to be like this?"

Listen to them. Su Yirong couldn't help but shed tears. She didn't expect it. They suffered so much along the way. Here's why. Due to the disrepair of the Yellow River embankment. Although the people along the coast tried their best to block the breach. Countless dead and wounded. Still unable to resist the river and continue to flow out at a very rapid rate. Within ten miles of the embankment. It's all a piece. Drowned livestock can be seen everywhere in the streets.

And they survived the flood along the way. I don't know how much I have suffered along the way. Hunger is a common occurrence. Often there is a ton on the next ton. There is nowhere to go at night. You can only be in the company of rat ants. Not to mention all the way. Someone else's cold eyes are relative. and even speak ill of each other.

They made it all the way to the capital. I came to join a distant relative. I don't know that they turn their faces and don't recognize people. He drove them out. After being kicked out. They hadn't eaten for five or six days.

"Luckily. Bump into Miss you. Otherwise. My sister and I. I'm really going to starve to death on the streets."

Su Yirong reached out and wiped away her tears. Look at the little girl who is eating. She was short. Plus I've been hungry for days. Skinny. Dressed in garments much larger than her. Even more pitiful.

Su Yirong looked at them. Meditate for a while. I seem to have made up my mind." You come home with me. After a few days. I'll arrange your place again. It's good."

The girl was very grateful. Pulling my sister is about to kneel down and kowtow. Su Yirong hurriedly stopped them. "You do this again. I'm not going to take you home."

Xiaoxue quietly pulled Su Yirong aside. Said: "Miss. Bring them back to the Mansion. I'm afraid it's not good."

"How." Su Yirong frowned.

"Miss, you're the princess. Take them home. Even though it is to do good deeds. But it is inevitable that the identity is incompatible. As. Find a house for them first. Let them have a place to sleep first."

Su Yirong frowned. Glanced at Xiaoxue. Glancing at the two sisters again. Think about it for a while. Or decided to use the method that Xiaoxue said. She turned back to them and talked to them. The two sisters also kept thanking each other.

It's nearly dusk. Su Yirong followed Xiaoxue into a narrow alley. The alley is extremely narrow. Apparently it is a place where small people live. Spread your arms. You can touch the short wall on both sides with both hands.

Light snow stops in front of a doorway. Said: "Miss. It's here."

Walk into the doorway. Pass by a small yard. Push open the door. You can see the furnishings in the house at a glance. The house is not big. Extremely concise. In addition to a small mahogany table and a few small chairs. There is nothing else to furnish it. Su Yirong walked around the house. Transferred to another room that was also shabby. There was only an empty wooden bed inside.

Xiaoxue looked at Su Yirong for a while. Said: "Miss. It's rudimentary though. It's also suitable for the two sisters."

Su Yirong nodded. That's all it can be. Although rudimentary. It's all there. Compared to their previous homelessness. That's already good. Place the two sisters. When Su Yirong returned to the Rui Palace. It's already dark.

The front foot just stepped into Su Yixuan. Su Yirong heard his stomach growl. Only then did I realize that I hadn't eaten all day. Xiaoxue follows her. I didn't eat all day.

Su Yirong looked at Xiaoxue with some apologies. Said: "Xiaoxue. I'm sorry. You've been starving with me all day."

She shook her head. Xiaoxue is not hungry." The voice fell. The stomach screamed in defiance.

Su Yirong smiled lowly. I don't know this time. There is nothing to eat in the kitchen. As. Let's see."

Xiaoxue hurriedly pushed her to sit down in the courtyard. Said: "Miss. I'll go to the kitchen and have a look. You sit in the yard and rest."

I can't resist her. Su Yirong had no choice but to let her go to the kitchen. I sit on the swing. While she was waiting for her to fall asleep. Footsteps sounded at the gate of the courtyard. She hurriedly jumped off the swing. shouted: "Xiaoxue. You're finally back. I'm starving to death ......"

The last word "up" has no sound. Su Yirong looked at Leng Yanxi at the door blankly. The conversation turned." How did you get here?"

Leng Yanxi walked slowly in front of her. Staring into her eyes. Q." How. It's time for it. You haven't eaten yet?"

She suddenly thought of the two sisters she had met during the day. Sentimental heart. Said: "What's this. I just didn't eat for a day. But you can still have something to fill your stomach when you come back. Some people. I haven't had anything to eat for days. I don't even have a place to live."

"You haven't eaten all day." He blurted out. Frowning and asking. Your words later. Who's talking about it?"

She was about to answer. I heard Xiaoxue's voice ringing." Miss. There is nothing to eat in the kitchen. Light snow has laid some noodles." Xiaoxue holding noodles. He said as he entered the door. Rise. See Leng Yanxi in the yard. Frightened hands shake. I almost knocked over the noodles in my hand.

Su Yirong hurriedly stepped forward and took the bowl in her hand. Place on the table. Hold her hand. Q." It's okay to have your hands on it."

Xiaoxue will retract her hand that has been burned by the soup. smiled: "Xiaoxue is fine."

Side. Leng Yanxi glanced at them. Step away. Wait for his figure to disappear at the gate of the courtyard. Xiaoxue asked. Miss. Why is the prince here?"

Su Yirong raised her eyebrows. Who knows."

"Miss. You eat noodles first. There's really nothing to eat in the kitchen. I can only grieve Miss tonight."

She smiled: "What's wrong with this. I used to work when I was busy and the sky was dimly dark. Eating noodles is a regular thing." Voices lag behind. only to realize that Xiaoxue couldn't understand what she was saying. Busy replied again." I mean when I was out there before. Eat noodles often."

She's about to start. Suddenly put down the chopsticks." Light snow. Where's your face?"

Xiaoxue's face froze. Eyes dodge. Said: "Xiaoxue just ate a steamed bun in the kitchen. Not hungry."

"Liar." Su Yirong stared at Xiaoxue's eyes.

Xiaoxue touched her stomach. Just about to speak. Su Yirong pulled her to sit down. If you don't dislike it. Let's finish this bowl of noodles together." Xiaoxue opened her mouth to speak. She hurriedly interrupted me." Don't say you're not hungry."

See the serious expression on her face. Xiaoxue couldn't help but chuckle.

Just finished eating noodles. Steward Cui's voice sounded at the gate of the courtyard again. Then several maidservants put the delicacies on the table one by one. Su Yirong looked at the dishes in front of him a little dumbfounded. Q." Here's what's going on."

Steward Cui replied truthfully. It turned out that Leng Yanxi saw that they hadn't eaten all day. After leaving Su Yixuan. I ordered Steward Cui to go to the Splendid Building. And there are dishes in front of them.

Although I ate noodles. But feel hungry. I couldn't help but feel grateful to the cold tide. Wait for Steward Cui and his party to leave. Xiaoxue said: "The prince is so good to Miss."

Su Yirong picked up the chopsticks. Knocked Xiaoxue on the head with the end of his chopsticks." My stomach is hungry and empty. And so much more."

Xiao Xue smiled and said, "Xiao Xue is telling the truth."

"And said. You're not allowed to eat." Su Yirong looked at her. Laughed and threatened.
