"Please, Madam Prince, please make the decision for me!"
"Please have mercy on Madam Prince!"
Dozens of people, with their voices rising and falling, rushed forward to stop Huo Xi's carriage.
The carriage had not reached the gate of the mansion, and there was still some distance, so it could not move forward. Zhufeng and other escorts Heng Dao blocked the carriage in front of the carriage. The people who were rushing towards them paused for a moment, but they kept talking.
"What happened?" Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, Huo Xi got down from the carriage.
The voices in the crowd became weaker, and everyone raised their eyes to look at Huo Xi. Then they knelt down and begged her to make the decision: "Please have mercy on the Crown Prince, Madam."
"Get up and answer your questions. You are blocking the way. Our lady can't even ask questions!"
Seeing a woman kneeling up to grab the hem of Huo Xi's skirt, Xianghua hurriedly stepped forward and pushed it away.
Being blocked by dozens of people, Huo Xi raised his eyes and looked at the door of the mansion. He saw that the door of the mansion was tightly closed, and even the two janitors were missing.
Instead, I felt a sense of relief.
It's quite tiring to wait for Jun's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to take action every day.
"If you have any requests, please tell me slowly. I'm new here and I can't tell the difference between east, west and north. I'm afraid I can't help you much."
The old woman who was pushed away by the vanilla took another step forward with a miserable expression, holding the hand of the seventeen or eight-year-old girl next to her, and raised her eyes to look at Huo Xi.
"Please, Madam Prince, have mercy on us. My husband and son both lost their lives fighting with the Mu family's army. Now we only have two grandchildren left. The daughter-in-law has run away, and the little grandson is lying in bed half dead. There is nothing left at home."
All the money for medicine is gone, I’m so poor, I can’t live any longer!”
Wiping away tears, he said, "If my grandson dies, why don't I take this granddaughter with me to find their grandfather and father."
The more he talked, the sadder he became. As soon as he finished speaking, he hit his head on the ground. He was kicked over by Zhufeng and fell to the ground.
"Grandma!" The girl hurriedly went to help her.
"Why are you still beating people, Mrs. Crown Prince!"
"Mrs. Crown Prince hit someone!" "Hit someone!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? My man didn't even kick her! It was foot kick, foot kick, do you understand?" Seeing everyone accusing Zhufeng, Vanilla was so angry that she came to argue.
Huo Xi frowned. Seeing that the woman was fine, she quickly searched the crowd for the few people who had just shouted, and winked at Zhufeng and others.
When the booing people saw this, they wanted to run away, but Zhufeng, Gan San and Kun Si caught them out.
"Who are you? What do you want for me?" Huo Xi looked at the men.
"We, we..." Several people evaded their eyes and hesitated.
One person scratched his neck and shouted loudly: "The prince's wife came to Yunnan from the capital. Naturally, she carries the emperor's orders and will definitely make the decision for us!"
"Yes, the Crown Prince's wife wants to make the decision for us!"
"What's the boss?"
"Of course, we will be given a replacement military salary and compassionate allowance! Our family is almost unable to survive. You go out and return the rich clothes and make slaves and maids! Are you worthy of the blood our family left for the Mu family?"
"Yes, yes, give us a replacement military salary and pension!"
The crowd was mobilized again, voices rang out again, and Huo Xi was surrounded again. It wasn't until Zhufeng, Gansan and others drew their swords that the crowd became quiet.
"Everyone, I have just arrived in Yunnan and I don't know much about this matter. Besides, women like us are not allowed to interfere in military affairs, so I don't understand the matter. How about you follow me into the mansion and explain the situation in detail to the mansion?
Discuss a solution?"
"If you don't go in, you won't go in!"
"If we go in, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out!"
"Yes, don't go in! Don't even think about being in front of others and doing something behind others! Let's just say it here!"
"Yes, just say it here!"
Huo Xi looked at the man with the loudest voice: "Who are you and what do you want?"
The man was knocked down by Huo Xi and couldn't tell. When he saw Zhufeng approaching him with a knife, he hurriedly ran away. Several people who shouted loudly also ran away together. The voices of the people surrounding Huo Xi gradually subsided.
It went down.
At this time, the door of the mansion quietly opened a crack, and a boy poked his head through the crack in the door. Huo Xi frowned.
He stepped forward to help the old woman up, "Old man, if you want the matter to be resolved, you must first let me know what happened, right?"
The voice was soft and comforting.
"I thank you for trusting me, the Crown Prince's wife, to make decisions for you. However, I have only been in Kunming City for two days and I don't understand everything. You want me to solve it immediately, which is a bit overwhelming. Why don't you tell me carefully?
Tell me if you have anything else to ask for, I will order someone to write it down one by one, and then I will solve it for you after you understand it clearly."
The old woman glanced at Huo Xi, and her expression softened, probably because she saw that she was not looking aloof.
Then he told Huo Xi the matter.
The old woman's husband and two sons were fighting abroad with the Mu family's army and lost their lives. They never received pensions from the court. They went to the army and Mu's mansion several times to ask for money, but they didn't get much. They met again.
My grandson was seriously ill, so I dragged my granddaughter to ask for help.
After hearing this, Huo Xi asked everyone around him and found out that the situation was basically the same as that of the old woman, and felt relieved.
He ordered people to write down their situations one by one, and asked Vanilla to give them some money one by one.
"You should take it to the emergency first. After I return home to understand the situation, I will come back to solve the problem for you. If I can't solve it, I will write a handwritten letter to my husband and explain the reason to him in detail. I will solve it for you when he comes back.
solve."
"What if the prince can't solve it for us?"
"That's right, we've been here so many times, and every time we are prevaricated. They just make us wait."
"Yes! Since we are here today, we will not leave. Madam Prince, please go to the mansion first to understand the situation. We will wait for Madam at the door."
No one left.
However, the old woman got a few taels of silver from Huo Xishang to treat her grandson, and said a few words of help: "The prince's wife has just arrived, let's give the prince's wife some time. We will come again tomorrow."
"No, we'll just wait here. We can afford to wait!"
Huo Xi smiled and persuaded: "Everyone, my husband and I originally lived in the capital. Because of the chaos on the border, he went to Yunnan to quell the chaos. Now he will be driving away the enemies on the border to protect your homeland. All of you have relatives in your family who are serving the imperial court.
Those who have served their lives should know how to serve the country and the people. Why don't you give me some time?"
Everyone was persuaded by her and looked at each other, "Okay, we'll just trust the Crown Prince's wife for once. We'll come back tomorrow."
The crowd dispersed like water, and when they saw the old woman holding her granddaughter's hand and walking away, Huo Xi stood there for a long time before turning around and entering the house.
As soon as I stepped onto the steps in front of the mansion, the doorman hurriedly ran over to explain: "There are really too many of them, there are only two of us, and the door can't hold it..."
"All the guards in the house are gone? Everyone is dead!" Vanilla is still as fierce and temperamental as ever.
Their wife has only been here for two days, but the government has not come forward, allowing so many people to surround their wife, and the door is still closed. Bullying that their wife has no natal family in Kunming City!
He was very angry and glared at the boy.
"Aunt Jun is not in the house?" Huo Xi asked him.
"Yes! Madam is here too." The young man didn't dare to raise his head or breathe.
Huo Xi didn't want to argue with him, so she nodded and walked into the house.
