Divorce at the beginning, the rough general is very clingy

"You...you were too harsh." Pei felt that it was unreasonable and lowered her voice.

"Haha, I can't control what I did in my dream. Besides, this is my Tingyuxuan. What is Pei Yu, a girl, doing in my room alone? Is she trying to assassinate me?" Ye Xiao didn't dare to have anything to do with Pei Yu. If Xiao'er knew about this, he would definitely be angry.

At this time, the court doctor came and hurriedly took Pei Yu's pulse. The examination was terrible. Pei Yu had four broken ribs and internal bleeding. The situation was quite serious.

Pei quickly had Pei Yu sent back to his room and arranged for a court doctor to treat him.

"Second uncle, second aunt, third uncle, third aunt, aunt." Ye Xiao bowed and saluted. As for the others, they were all his brothers and sisters, so there was no need to greet them.

"I'm glad you're back. The dinner is ready. Come back soon. We haven't seen each other for several years. Let's have a drink together." Ye Yuanhang was full of official airs. His words showed no emotion. He seemed approachable. Who would have thought he was very close to the eldest brother's son?

"Okay." Night Owl bowed.

Ye Yuanhang and his wife Ye Yuanxing left, and the ones left were all the grandchildren of the Ye family.

"Brother, you're back. I'm happy for you." Ye Jin walked over. Although he was the younger brother, his birthday was only two months apart from Ye Xiao.

"Thank you for your concern, brother." Ye Xiao smiled.

“Brother, you won’t leave this time you come back, right?” The speaker was Ye Yuanhang’s son, Ye Fan. He looked heartless, but he was the most thoughtful person in the group.

"I'm leaving in three days." Night Owl said bluntly.

"Where are you going?" asked Ye Feng. Ye Feng is Ye Yuanxing's eldest son.

"Lead the troops to battle." Ye Xiao glanced at Ye Feng, with a desire for soldiers and pride in being a soldier in his eyes.

After hearing this, the boys and girls fell silent.

"Brother, now that you are back, has the emperor forgiven your crime?" Ye Jin asked.

"I dare not guess the Holy Will." Night Owl shook his head.

Soon the family dinner was set and everyone entered the restaurant. Ye Yuanhang, as the head of the family, said some irrelevant words. Ye Xiao just ate some symbolically. It seemed like delicacies from the mountains and the sea, but it tasted flashy and not as delicious as the noodles made by the youngest child.

The next day, Night Owl left for the military camp.

Pei felt extremely distressed when she saw Pei Yu crying so hard.

"Grandaunt, wuwu...Yu'er is in pain." Pei Yu cried sadly.

Pei was also a little disappointed, but she didn't dare to say anything more, "Yu'er, be good and take good care of your injuries. That Night Owl is not a good match for you. Let's not think about him anymore, okay?"

"Wow, no, I just like him and I want to marry him." Pei Yu covered her chest and sobbed.

"Yu'er, Ye Xiao is now a conscripted soldier. This time when he came back, the emperor did not pardon his crime. If you marry him, you will be a conscripted soldier's family member. How will the Yonghe Marquisate cope with this? How will your father and uncles gain a foothold in the court?" Pei explained the seriousness of the matter to Pei Yu in detail.

"But wasn't Brother Xiao called back by the Emperor to fight in the war? If he wins, the Emperor will surely pardon him, and then he will be known as a meritorious official." Pei Yu said.

"Oh my god, my ancestors, the emperor just used Night Owl, otherwise why didn't he pardon him? Even if he won the battle, the emperor would never let a person hold military power and be supported by the people. The imperial power would only suppress him and hide him. If he was needed, he would be sent back to Beijing. People like him are just a knife in the hand of the imperial power." In order to let Pei Yu give up this idea, Pei said some things that she shouldn't have said.

"Woo woo, is there really no way out?" Pei Yu was still a little unwilling.

"Yu'er, you are the pampered daughter of our Pei family. No matter you marry a prince or a high-ranking official in the future, you will live a life of luxury. Ye Xiao has nothing except his good looks. Everyone in the capital knows the current situation, but you are the only one who is stupid enough to not understand. If you follow him, the world will laugh at the Yonghe Marquis Mansion and your parents. Think about what they will do in the future? They won't be able to hold their heads up in front of the world. There are so many brothers and sisters in your family who have not yet married. Your actions will cause their marriages to decline several levels. Have you considered them?" Pei's eloquent words completely extinguished Pei Yu's anger.

Pei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this child was quite obedient.

The drought in Jingzhou was getting more and more serious. The prefect of Jingzhou had submitted more than a dozen memorials to the court asking it to distribute food. For those who had already fled the famine, he asked all prefectures to give the green light and resettle the refugees.

However, it is easier said than done. The imperial court prepared one million grains of food, arranged for the Ministry of Revenue to transport them to various counties and towns in Jingzhou, and sent two princes to arrange for the people.

There was resentment everywhere in Jingzhou, and people were living in misery. Many people were forced to resort to robbery and occupying the mountains to become kings.

Wan'an Town is relatively peaceful. Although there is a severe drought, water can still be pumped from the wells in some places. As for food, everyone knows that there is a Limin Grain Store in Wan'an Town. The food is of good quality and cheap, and there is even free water provided.

The common people were grateful for the righteous act of Limin Grain Store, but the owners of several nearby grain stores hated Limin Grain Store as it had cut off their source of income. After asking around, they finally found out who was behind the Limin Grain Store.

On this day, the people of Liujia Village had just woken up from their sleep when someone shouted, "The refugees are coming!"

The whole village immediately fell into panic.

There were about four to five hundred refugees in this group, all of them were pale and thin. Some of the children were so hungry that only their big heads were shaking. A few of the leading men had machetes, but most of them had sticks, hoes and the like.

Several houses at the entrance of the village were immediately attacked.

Fortunately, these refugees still had some humanity and did not kill them. They just tied them up and robbed the grain and all the food from the few families at the entrance of the village.

Then they hurriedly started cooking.

When Liu Fugui gathered the strong men in the village and rushed over, he saw the refugees grabbing the food and putting it into their mouths, regardless of the dirty hands and the hot food.

More than two hundred strong men, holding their belongings, looked at the four or five hundred skinny refugees with pale faces. They felt hatred, pain, heartache and sadness.

It was not until the leading man had eaten two full bowls of rice and drunk a large bowl of water that he came over carrying his hoe.

The two sides looked at each other, ready to start fighting if they disagreed.

"Where are you from? You come to our Liujia Village to steal things." Liu Fugui said righteously.

"We are from Langtou County. It hasn't rained for more than a year. We can't survive anymore. Please give us something to eat," said the leading refugee.

"You can see that it hasn't rained here for several months and the crops have failed. We are still struggling. We only have that little food in stock at home. How can you ask us to give you that?" Liu Fugui smiled bitterly.
