Chapter 219
"Princess, the Su family is here."
Cuiqin came in and said.
Lin Yunwan opened her eyes, which were already bloodshot.
She pushed herself up and said, "You came so fast?"
It wasn't long before she ordered him to go down.
Cuiqin said: "Mr. Su and Young Master Su were on their way here, and the people we sent have not come back yet. It was Mr. Su's uncle who heard that you were here and asked about you all the way. He was afraid that it would be so late to disturb your rest. Let the servants come and tell you."
"No need to disturb you. Let your uncle and cousin come in quickly."
They were a family in name only, so there wasn't much room for them to avoid suspicion.
Cuiqin turned around and went out, then came in with Master Su.
Mr. Su and his son, who were tired from work and still wearing raincoats, were in a hurry all the way here and didn't even take a breath.
"princess."
Young Master Su also bowed: "Princess."
Lin Yunwan and Mr. Su made a long story short: "Uncle, about the fact that you and the Lin Mansion are giving porridge together, people outside now only know about the Lin Mansion, but not about the Su family."
"In the future, if you want to resume your ancestral business in Jiang Qian, you can't do it without a reputation."
Mr. Su felt ashamed and said, "I know this..."
He sighed, never wanting to cause too much trouble with the Lin family. He said, "I always think that the Lin family is the princess's natal family, and your mother has also entered the ancestral graves of the Lin family. They are all our own."
Lin Yunwan said helplessly: "You regard the Lin Mansion as one of our own, do the Lin Mansion treat you as one of our own?"
Mr. Su lowered his head, thought for a while, and made up his mind and said, "I know what to do."
He said worriedly: "Princess, don't worry about such a trivial matter, take good care of yourself. The princess and the prince's heirs are the most important."
Lin Yunwan nodded.
Mr. Su took his son out, and they also brought the servants of the Su family.
However, the Su family only bought new servants after returning to Jiangqian in the past six months. It turns out that the old servants are basically impossible to find.
"These servants are all new to disaster relief. You pick a few smart ones to be the little shopkeepers, and leave the rest to the little shopkeepers."
Master Su taught his son how to use people and how to do things.
The father and son quickly came up with an idea. They took more than a dozen of their servants, changed into clothes that were easy to identify, and left the city gate from Xu Tianyou to serve porridge with the people of the Lin Mansion.
Lin Huabin also came and saw Mr. Su. He pulled him to the side and said, "Brother-in-law, why do you bring your little nephew here to suffer such hardship? Let the child go back to rest! It's fine as long as we are here."
Mr. Su quit: "What your children can do, my son has also endured this kind of hardship."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Lin Huabin tugged on his sleeve and said, "Well, then, you open another porridge shack, and we don't get involved."
Mr. Su pushed him away and sneered: "Okay. Then your Lin family will return the money to me now."
When it came to money, Lin Huabin was speechless.
Mr. Su limped out into the rain and took his son and servants to work.
When it was almost dawn, Lin Yunwan took a nap for half an hour and woke up when she heard the sound of the night watch.
"princess?"
Cuiqin came over in a hurry. She didn't dare to sleep. Her master was still pregnant, and she was more afraid than anyone else.
Lin Yunwan cheered up and asked, "Has the rain stopped?"
"Not yet, but it's just a drizzle."
"That's good."
Cuiqin went to twist a hot handkerchief and came in to wash Lin Yunwan.
She said: "Six doctors from the Lu family came here. Sister Xiruo took them out of the city half an hour ago to treat pregnant women, the elderly and children first."
"It's probably not good for so many weak people to be crowded together."
Lin Yunwan asked worriedly: "Has a clean place been prepared for them to stay?"
Cuiqin didn't know much, so she said, "Sister Xiruo said that she has five houses. I don't know if I can give them to the sick and weak first..."
But she felt that in this situation, the seriously ill must be accommodated first.
Thinking of the characters of Xiruo and his wife, Lin Yunwan no longer worried.
"Princess, you have stayed up most of the night, please eat something first!"
Cuiqin added: "There is only porridge, so make do with it."
Usually in the palace, the princess eats bird's nests as tribute.
Lin Yunwan didn't care about this. She ate two bowls of porridge and found it delicious. She said to Cuiqin, "You should also go and have a rest."
She called Mother Lu and asked her to inquire about the situation outside.
Mother Lu is the mother in charge of the inner courtyard of the palace. She can do a lot more than Cuiqin. Because she is older, it is easier to inquire.
After only being out for half an hour, I came back and talked a lot with Lin Yunwan.
"People haven't settled in yet, but they all have porridge."
"They were all tired too. It rained lightly, so they fell asleep near the porridge shed."
"The prefect and several fellow magistrates and magistrates were all standing on the city tower, wearing official uniforms. The people below could see their faces clearly. There was also a quick-thinking person who sent his own people there. Condolences to the victims and reporting your home address will spread your reputation."
Lin Yunwan looked calm after hearing this.
No matter what they were doing, if nothing happened last night, it was good.
"Have they sent anyone to report the news to the prince?"
The city gate was locked last night, and Lin Yunwan's people couldn't get out. Later, when the city gate was opened, the palace went to two nursing homes.
But there are certainly no officials from Jiang Qian's Yamen who are familiar with the situation here.
Mother Lu said: "The prefect has quietly sent a team of people to pick up the prince. But I don't know where the prince is now. Even if it is fast, it will take a day or two. If it is slow, it will take five days for the prince to come back." "
Lin Yunwan closed her eyes and went through the matter in her mind, then said, "It's no problem to hold on here for another three days."
A few more days and that wouldn't be possible.
Not all the food in the hands of Jiang Qian's rich family will be used to relieve the victims.
After all, she was just a behind-the-scenes strategist. Just relying on King Huan's private seal, the people on the tower would not listen to her.
"Your Majesty..."
Lin Yunwan rubbed her temples, hoping that Qi Lingheng would come back soon.
After waiting for another two days, there was still no news about Qi Lingheng, and Cuiqin became a little anxious.
"Princess, why don't you go back to the palace to recuperate first."
After staying up like this for a few days, I heard that some people outside the city were sick. Cuiqin was afraid that something would happen to Lin Yunwan, who was pregnant.
But Lin Yunwan couldn't let go now.
She could not be the first to give orders to Jiang Qian officials, and those people would not be the first to listen to her.
The prefect also knew it well. On the surface, he couldn't listen to the princess, but if he really didn't listen, he would have to take responsibility for some things.
He would write down all the big and small things on paper and send someone to deliver them.
In the past two days, Lin Yunwan never stopped writing.
"My own body, I know it myself."
Of course I was tired, but there was nothing wrong with it.
Lin Yunwan thought for a while, fearing that the people in the palace would be worried, and not wanting to harm her body and children, she said to Cuiqin Wen Sheng, "In this way, when the sun goes down tomorrow, I will go back to the palace whether the prince comes back."
"Now go and see if Xiruo is back."
Cuiqin breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and was about to go out when Xiruo came in in a hurry.
"Princess, something happened."
Seeing Xiruo's worried expression, Lin Yunwan knew that this matter might have something to do with her.
