Jin Ruoyun remembered that the incident caused a stir in Kyoto and it took a long time to calm down...

The current Prime Minister He Hong has a good family background and holds a high status in Tianyuan State.

When He Hong was young, he loved the Kyoto beauty Ruan Li, but Ruan Li already had someone she liked. He Hong took her by force and forced her family to marry him.

Ruan Li's family is also a noble family. In order to form an alliance, her family made Ruan Li marry He Hong. The two parties became a community of interests, and Ruan Li's happiness was sacrificed.

After getting married, Ruan Li was depressed and couldn't let go of the person she loved but couldn't have.

He Hong knew that she had someone she liked, but he didn't mind at first. He thought he could melt her heart and make her forget that person.

But as time went by, Ruan Li always looked half-dead.

The relationship between the two became worse and worse, and they often quarreled. However, it was always He Hong who was angry unilaterally, and Ruan Li turned a blind eye and kept ignoring him.

In order to irritate her, He Hong married three concubines, one of whom was Ruan Li's half-sister Ruan Zhi, just to make her jealous and make her care about him.

But Ruan Li didn't care at all who he married. She stayed in her room all day and didn't like to go out.

Due to not seeing the sun for a long time and being overly worried for many years, her health was always poor. She committed suicide two years after giving birth to He Linyuan.

He Hong has always liked her and couldn't let her go. Seeing that she would rather commit suicide than be with him, he became even more annoyed.

Queen He Hong promoted Ruan Zhi to the official position of wife just to irritate Ruan Li.

Although He Linyuan was born to Ruan Li, He Hong did not like him and thought that Ruan Li left because of him.

He refused to admit that it was because he forced Ruan Li to marry him that she became unhappy.

He sent He Linyuan, who was not even three years old, to be raised on a farm in the countryside. He didn't want to see him because seeing him would remind him of Ruan Li.

Ruan Zhi was jealous that Ruan Li had He Hong's heart, and had always been mean to He Linyuan in secret. She often sent people to the farm to torture him, and even disabled his legs, leaving him crippled for life.

It was because of his disabled legs that He Hong had someone bring him back.

After hearing what happened, Jin Yuanyuan took a breath.

"I didn't expect that his life experience was so tragic. No wonder he has a gloomy personality and doesn't like others to help him. He must think that we help him with ulterior motives and want to harm him."

She was just cursing him in her heart for not being able to find a wife. She was wrong and shouldn't have said that. She deserved to die.

Gu An felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this and angrily threw down the chicken leg bone he had just eaten.

"He Hong and Ruan Zhi are too much. How could they treat He Linyuan like this? It's pitiful enough that his mother died, and they even broke his leg!"

He Linyuan is so pitiful, having such a beastly father, who is no worse than his stupid father.

Cheng Che had also heard about this matter, but he didn't know as much as Jin Ruoyun. He also felt that what He Hong did was not fair.

"He Hong was really wrong. He forced himself to marry someone who didn't love him and forced her to have a child for him. But after the child was born, he didn't like it. He must be crazy."

Jin Ruoyun picked up a piece of food for him with chopsticks.

"Calm down, these are just random guesses made by my sisters and I when we got together for nothing, they may not be accurate, so don't go out and say anything."

This is almost certain, but they are not involved in the matter so it is impossible for them to say with exactness, but it should be roughly correct.

It is inappropriate and not a gentleman's behavior to just casually spread other people's family affairs.

After hearing this, the three of them nodded and promised:

"We definitely won't go out and talk nonsense."

They still have a clear sense of right and wrong when it comes to major issues.

He Linyuan was just an episode. The most important purpose of their coming to Taiqing Temple was to provide porridge and relief.

When the border war broke out, many people who fled famine became homeless. Jin Ruoyun, as the son of a military family, felt guilty, but he was unable to stop it.

War is for a longer lasting peace.

All she can do is try her best and do what she can.

Jin Yuanyuan and Gu An stopped running around and joined in providing relief to the victims.

Jin Yuanyuan was not even as tall as the bench, but she stood on it and distributed steamed buns to the refugees.

The disaster this time was serious. Looking at so many homeless people, Jin Yuanyuan felt very uncomfortable.

At the same time, in the Gu family mansion.

No one cared about Sang Xiaowan, but she was beaten so badly that there was not a single piece of good flesh on her body.

Gu Xingruo and the third prince were still under house arrest. Gu Xingcheng was blind and couldn't come to see him. She had to endure beatings from Gu Boqing all day long. She was fed up with the humiliation.

Her eye was swollen from the beating, and the blood had turned into pus. She could no longer see clearly with that eye.

She lay on the ground, forced her eyes open and looked at the place not far away where Gu Boqing often whipped her with a whip. Her eyes were bloodshot and scary.

"Gu Boqing! You will never have an easy life if you treat me like this!"

She originally had some concerns, but now she no longer needs to. Let them all die together and be buried with her.

There was a forest near the farm where she lived before, and she hid a lot of gold, silver and treasures in it, intending to run away with the money in case Gu Boqing let her down.

She used these treasures as bargaining chips and successfully bribed a servant to do something for her.

The servant agreed readily. After leaving Sang Xiaowan's yard, he went to a secluded courtyard and reported to Xue Niang:

"Sang Xiaowan asked me to go to a village and find a man named Tong Qi and bring him to Madam Jin."

This servant was the one Jin Ruoyun had arranged for Xue Niang in advance.

Xuenniang had warned him to agree to whatever Sang Xiaowan asked for.

But she didn't understand why she brought that Tong Qi to Mrs. Jin.

Xue Niang didn’t understand what Sang Xiaowan was up to, but she was certain that under her instigation, their relationship had deteriorated to the extreme.

Sang Xiaowan must have done this to harm Gu Boqing.

She ordered the servant, "Go and do it. Bring the man named Tongqi to Madam Jin. Madam Jin should be in Taiqing Temple practicing meditation now. Bring her there."

"Yes!"

This Tongqi was very hard to find, and he went to many places before finally finding him.

Unexpectedly, Tong Qi became a refugee fleeing famine. After searching everywhere for him, he finally found him without any effort.

He successfully led the refugee group that Tong Qi was in to Taiqing Temple, and informed Jin Ruoyun to pay attention to a limping, bookish man.

Jin Yuanyuan didn't know about this yet. She was distributing steamed buns to people at that time.

"Don't rush to get them. Come one by one. If you rush, we won't send them out!"

Although her voice was childish and her look was soft and cute without any intimidation, she was dressed elegantly and there were many guards standing behind her with knives. Even if they wanted to snatch it, they didn't dare to and they all lined up obediently to receive it.

After one person is sent, the next person comes up.

Jin Yuanyuan saw that he was limping but standing straight, and she sighed as she saw that he was obviously a scholar.

"Alas, even scholars were forced to flee the famine. It seems that the fighting was extremely fierce."
