Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

"No."

"what?"

Meng Xiyue felt like she was hallucinating. She had donated her jewelry and offended people, but they still wouldn't let her go. Where was justice?

"come over."

Xie Junyi waved his hand, and Meng Xiyue felt as if her feet were out of control as she walked towards him.

"sit down."

Xie Junyi pointed to the place next to him.

Meng Xiyue, who was still hesitating, sat down immediately when she saw him put the plate of peach blossom cakes in front of her.

"Thank you, sir."

"Water, if you want anything else to eat, just tell me."

Xie Junyi said this lovingly.

But in Meng Xiyue's eyes, there was only delicious food. She took a sip of water and started eating the peach blossom pastry.

Meng Xiyue was eating with gusto, but it was miserable for the others below. They were already hungry, but no one was eating because they thought they could still hold on a little longer.

But now, they just felt hungrier.

"Peng~"

There was a loud bang and a young lady fainted on the ground.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Now that someone had fainted, the governor couldn't let them stay here.

But Xie Junyi seemed not to hear, "Keep eating, there's also steamed sea bass here, be careful of the bones."

"Thank you, sir. I'm done eating."

Meng Xiyue felt that Xie Junyi's kindness to her was somewhat ill-intentioned, and he was clearly bringing hatred upon her.

"Sir, Miss Liang fainted."

"Really? Ziye, let someone take care of it."

As he finished speaking, the guard standing behind him waved his hand.

A maid immediately came forward to give Miss Liang water, and then a doctor came over and gave Miss Liang two injections.

As Miss Liang woke up, the maid helped her sit up and then left.

This……

Miss Liang's eyes were filled with tears, but she couldn't help but raise her hand, "Sir, I am also willing to donate all my gold and silver jewelry."

"very good."

Xie Junyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Miss Liang with appreciation.

The sight of Miss Liang made him overjoyed, and all his previous grievances disappeared. He only hated himself for realizing it so late.

She stood up and wanted to walk to Xie Junyi shyly.

"Serve Miss Liang a meal."

But before she could take a step, she was stopped by Xie Junyi's words, and then the maid put the food in front of her.

She could only sit in her original position with resentment.

"Sir, I'm done eating, can I..."

Meng Xiyue felt that she was about to be burned through by the eyes of the people below her, and she wanted to leave this place of trouble.

"Now that you're done eating, stay with me for a while. The banquet isn't over yet, so it's not a good idea to leave early."

The damn evil forces were clearly exploiting her and wanted her to attract everyone's hatred.

"Are you scolding me?"

"I dare not. My Lord is wise and powerful. I dare not complain."

Seeing her angry and having to bow her head, Xie Junyi felt itchy in his heart.

It looks exactly like the kitten he had when he was a child.

Once someone took the lead, more and more people, unable to bear the hunger, raised their hands to express their willingness to donate. Most of them were spoiled young ladies and gentlemen.

Naturally, what they could offer was limited, but those who were in charge were obviously more persistent. For a whole day and night, no one spoke.

But even though they had food and drink and no place to rest, these young ladies could not bear it and asked their fathers for donations.

Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up.

"Governor, our Liang family is willing to pay three hundred taels of silver to help the victims."

Mr. Liang lowered his head, not daring to look at the people present. He was just a small wealthy businessman who had just made some money, and could not be compared with these big families.

“Okay, the Liang family can go back and rest.”

Xie Junyi was relieved, and everyone saw hope. It turned out that three hundred taels of silver could solve the problem.

No matter whether they were wealthy businessmen or officials, none of the people present were short of the three hundred taels of silver, so they all spoke up and expressed their willingness to donate three hundred taels.

Xie Junyi looked at this group of old foxes and smiled.

"Master Han, the total assets of the Liang family are only a few thousand taels. I can tolerate his donation of three hundred taels, but as the richest man in Qingyun City, it is unacceptable for you to donate so little."

"Well... then I am willing to donate three thousand taels."

Mr. Han had a painful look on his face. Not only did he have to suffer to eat a meal, but he also had to pay three thousand taels for nothing.

"But this silver is not what the people need, and it can't be eaten."

Xie Junyi sighed, "When the grain price goes up again, won't this money still go into your pockets in different forms?"

If Mr. Han still doesn't understand that Xie Junyi is coming for his granary, then it would be a waste of his position as the richest man.

But he was still hoping to make a fortune from the grain, and he was really unwilling to donate it.

"Master Han, it is our responsibility to rescue the people of Qingyun City."

The governor, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, but he stood next to Xie Junyi.

Everyone looked at the officers and soldiers around them and realized that they either donated money or died here.

Of course, life is more important.

"I will donate the five granaries of the Han family."

"Twenty."

"What?" Mr. Han was stunned. He only had twenty-one families in total.

Looking at Xie Junyi's fierce expression and seeing the governor nodding at him, he sighed heavily.

"Okay, twenty."

"Don't worry, Master Han. I will return it to you when the relief grain from the imperial court arrives."

Xie Junyi's expression turned cold. "I will also find out who embezzled the first batch of disaster relief grain."

This one sentence made many people present panic, including the Imperial Censor.

In order to save their lives, everyone donated money. Xie Junyi knew the financial situation of each family very well, and he had already decided how much each family needed to donate.

If the requirements are met, you can leave the party with your family. If not, then stay.

The banquet lasted for two days and two nights.

Meng Qingxiang was the last person to donate.

Meng Xiyue's eyes were red from staying up late, and she could finally go home and sleep.

"Fifth Miss, why don't you stay in the Governor's Mansion and accompany your elder sister?"

Meng Xiyue, who was about to leave, was suddenly stopped by the governor.

She was stunned. This elder sister was not close to her, so how could it be her turn to accompany her?

"I'll accompany my elder sister."

Meng Qingge spoke quickly, glancing at Xie Junyi.

His majesty just now made Meng Qingge's heart beat fast. Only a man like this was worthy of her.

"Your eldest sister said that she wanted the fifth girl to accompany her."

The governor spoke again, causing Meng Qingge to blush.

"The fifth girl should stay."

Meng Qingxiang spoke, and Meng Xiyue could not refuse, so she nodded in agreement.

But she came here to accompany her elder sister, and the place where she lived was a little too far away from her elder sister.

Meng Xiyue endured two days and felt dizzy and swollen in the head. She went back to her room and went to sleep without thinking about anything.

When I woke up again, I didn't know what day it was.
