The Prince Regent Is Powerful, And My Mommy Is Expecting Again! - Chapter 274
274 Justice
Gu Qingxue still needed to make the final preparations for her medicine. She went to the east wing room alone to make the final preparations while Rong Zhan waited for her in the hall.
On this side, Ah Jiu pretended to bring the four children back to the house next door. In reality, he only went back to his room and took all the things he needed. Then, he sneaked out of the back door with the children and went straight to the village chief’s house.
On this side, the village chief’s family stood outside the hall. Each and every one of them was cold and hungry, shivering from the cold. They watched as Princess Liuying sat alone at the table and ate.
The village chief looked at Princess Liuying with fear and trepidation. He smiled apologetically and asked, “Princess, this is the best meal our family can entertain you with. I wonder if the princess is satisfied?”
!!
In order not to be reprimanded by Princess Liuying, the village chief had no choice but to kill the hen that laid the eggs in the house and stew a pot of chicken soup for Princess Liuying.
The rural families did not have money. Usually, they could only eat a rooster for the New Year. This was already the most sumptuous meal that they could give.
The poor old village chief and the old woman, wife, son, and daughter behind him had not eaten yet. They almost drooled when they smelled the fragrance of the chicken soup. They could only press on their stomachs to prevent them from making gurgling sounds.
Princess Liuying looked at the chicken soup with disdain in her eyes. “Tsk, how could such trash be served on my dining table?”
Bing’er immediately understood Princess Liuying’s meaning. She picked up the bowl of chicken soup and threw it on the ground with a thud.
“Hey, it’s such a good thing. Isn’t this… Isn’t this a waste?!” The old village chief was so anxious that his face was red. Looking at the chicken soup that was scattered all over the ground, his old eyes turned red.
His daughter-in-law was pregnant. This chicken was originally meant to be used to nourish his daughter-in-law’s body while she was in confinement.
In the end, not only was the chicken killed, but his daughter-in-law, who was about to give birth, and their entire family had to stand here and suffer. What kind of sin had they committed?!
The village chief’s son silently protected his pregnant wife. He wanted to pick up the chicken, but he did not dare.
“If you dare to use this kind of thing to fool the princess the next time, I’ll get my servants to beat up your entire family! Our princess likes to eat pork and beef. Tomorrow, we will kill the cow in your cow shed and give it to the princess for her enjoyment,” Bing’er said arrogantly.
“Princess, please show mercy! That cow is used to plow the land in spring! If we kill it and eat meat, we won’t be able to plant next year’s crops!” The old village chief was so scared that he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy.
“Even if the cow is gone, aren’t there still people? You can still farm the land. It’s your family’s fortune that I’m willing to live in a poor family like yours. I advise you not to be shameless. Go and boil water for me immediately. I want to bathe and change my clothes.” Princess Liuying was like an arrogant peacock as she said arrogantly.
The old village chief’s family was forced into a corner. They were just ordinary people. They could not challenge the princess. They could only leave with red eyes and go to boil water obediently.
Princess Liuying was very pleased with herself. She did not know that her arrogance and despotism had been clearly seen by Nine outside the main door.
Nine was originally hesitating whether he should accompany the little children to play around.
However, the scene just now was enough to prove that he was not playing around when he decided to help the little children to punish Princess Liuying. Instead, he was doing justice for the heavens.
Nine quietly closed the main door and brought the three little children to the back door of the village chief’s house. He saw Zhou Xiaohua with a sad face, hugging her knees and sitting at the door crying.
According to their agreement during the day, Zhou Xiaohua was waiting for them here.
