After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Although everyone below had their own little thoughts, but at this moment facing His Royal Highness the Second Prince, no one dared to jump out and offend him.

"My Guan family will donate 20 shi of grain to help the disaster victims get through this difficult time as soon as possible."

The person who came to the Guan family today was the Guan family's chief steward. Upon receiving the Second Prince's gaze, he immediately stood up and expressed his willingness to support.

You have to know that the Guan family is the second prince's in-laws. Of course, this was something that had been discussed long ago. Twenty stone of grain is just a drop in the bucket for a wealthy family like the Guan family.

"My Wang family is willing to provide 15 stone of grain..."

"My Li family is willing to provide twelve stone of grain..."

"My Chen family is willing to provide twelve stone of grain..."

With the Guan family taking the lead, the others in the room were not willing to lag behind and stood up one by one to express their opinions. The Second Prince also smiled and nodded to show his appreciation when they stood up and spoke.

"Prince Ning's Mansion is willing..."

Because Lord Yao had just had someone secretly pass the message to Xu Qinghe, when it was Xu Qinghe's turn to deliver the message, he directly represented the Ning Wang Mansion.

To be honest, if it weren't for the relationship with the Ning Prince's Mansion, Xu Qinghe, an ordinary citizen with no official position, would not have been able to donate supplies at all.

Since he has come here this time and has plenty of food at home, he would naturally be willing to give some to help the victims.

I thought that no one would care about such a natural thing, but I didn't expect that Xu Qinghe was interrupted by the second prince before he could finish his sentence.

"This person looks a little unfamiliar. Could it be Xu Qinghe, the third master who just returned to Prince Ning's mansion?"

The second prince looked at Xu Qinghe with a friendly face and asked with some confusion.

"To reply Your Highness, my name is indeed Xu Qinghe."

Xu Qinghe quickly stood up and bowed to the Second Prince.

"Well, don't leave for a while. There are things to arrange after you finish."

The second prince nodded and waved his hand for him to continue.

"Ning Wangfu is willing to donate 20 shi of grain, hoping to help the victims get through this difficult time as soon as possible."

Xu Qinghe just thought that the Second Prince wanted to ask him some personal matters, so he didn't pay much attention to it and reported the amount of food he had planned.

Of course, he must have provided this food from his own house, because it was to help the victims, so he was naturally willing to do so.

Twenty shi was neither more nor less. However, since the Guan family had only offered twenty shi, and he represented the Ning Wang Mansion, it would certainly not be good for him to go over them, otherwise the Second Prince would not look good.

Things went very smoothly and after a short while, everyone had expressed their opinions and all that was left was to wait for the food to be delivered.

After watching the people in the hall leave one after another, Xu Qinghe was invited by the yamen runners to another smaller room, where there were also many people sitting.

When they saw Xu Qinghe coming in, a few people greeted him with a smile. Although the others didn't know him, they also smiled politely.

Xu Qinghe exchanged a few words with everyone, and seeing the people present, he immediately understood the purpose of the Second Prince calling them over.

Sure enough, the second prince soon brought Lord Yao in and explained the purpose of gathering everyone together.

This heavy rain was accompanied by a rapid drop in temperature. Those people who had to flee from their homes temporarily were all soaked.

Although Lord Yao had arranged for people to help them build a simple wooden shed outside the city gate to keep out the rain, a large number of the elderly, the weak, and the sick had already collapsed in just two days.

Now that the food problem has been solved, as for medicinal materials, the city’s clinics and drugstores will naturally have to work together.

This was a matter of saving lives and healing the wounded, so Xu Qinghe naturally had no objection. He followed several pharmacies and donated some medicinal materials.

It is said that the Xu family's pharmacy has not yet opened, but the reputation of the disciple of the Divine Doctor Sect has spread, and naturally it has also caught the attention of the Second Prince and others.

After staying in the yamen for a long time, when Xu Qinghe returned home, he found that the old steward of Prince Ning's Mansion was already waiting for him.

"How come Uncle Wang has time to come here?"

Xu Qinghe took a handkerchief and wiped his wet hair while greeting the old housekeeper.

"Didn't Lord Yao send someone home to report the news, saying that..."

The old butler whispered the story again. It turned out that the list of people today was not made by Lord Yao, but by the Second Prince's people.

Because Xu Qinghe and Ning Wang Mansion were on the list, he mentioned that Xu Qinghe was already the third master of Ning Wang Mansion. Although they did not live together, they did not have a separate family either. They were naturally a family. If there was anything, just ask him to come over.

So the second prince tacitly agreed to this matter and said nothing more.

Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in the capital, resettling the disaster victims is a major event that will gain everyone's favor, so the Second Prince naturally put all his effort into taking care of this matter.

Now that the old princess had brought Xu Lewan into the Buddhist temple and no longer cared about what was happening outside, Princess Ning asked the housekeeper to come over and said that the grain he had allowed to go out today would come from the warehouse in Prince Ning's mansion.

As for the medicinal herbs, the old butler took out a silver note and handed it to Xu Qinghe.

Xu Qinghe could not refuse, and finally had to say that the grain would be provided by Prince Ning's Mansion. He did not accept the banknotes, but said that the medicinal materials were already prepared in his own warehouse and he would just give them out directly.

With the financial and human contributions from every household, several rows of porridge stalls were soon set up outside the city gate, and several large pots were used to cook porridge and medicinal soup.

Some people didn't have much food at home, so they gave away old clothes that their family members couldn't wear, as a token of their thoughtfulness.

The disaster victims did not complain. They had food, drink and clothes. Although they left their familiar homes, they were temporarily safe.

Now they can only hope that God will open his eyes and stop raining day and night. When the weather clears up and there are no problems, they can return to their homes with peace of mind.

However, God did not seem to hear these people's prayers. In the next few days, heavy rain fell like a bucket. The water in the river could not be drained in time, and directly destroyed the embankment and destroyed many people's homes.

Fortunately, most of the people were notified in advance, and there was no time to pack many things, so they ran out with their families.

When they heard that the disaster victims were being resettled outside the capital, everyone swarmed outside the capital. More and more people gathered, and more and more wooden sheds were built to shelter them from the wind and rain.

Yuxiu did not go out for the past few days. She first got some flour and asked the people in the kitchen to ferment the flour overnight and steam several baskets of big steamed buns.
