Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

At dinner, Lian Rongrong specifically instructed Chun Tao and the others to stew more meat to replenish everyone's strength.

The fine rice and noodles, along with pots and pots of large chunks of beef, make your mouth water.

In addition to the Lian family's original supplies, the guards also caught four or five plump carp in the stream near the village.

Since leaving the capital, it's been a long time since we've had this fish.

As the fresh aroma of fish wafted out, everyone couldn't help but press their noses together to inhale deeply. Wang Yang, shamelessly, moved even closer.

But if you offend Lian Rongrong, you'll never have a good life again.

"Cousin, this fish was caught by those low-ranking guards you mentioned. I think you shouldn't eat it."

And that meat is for people who do the work to replenish their energy. You didn't do any work, so naturally you don't need to replenish it!

Chuntao, take two of the warmed-up steamed buns to your cousin in a little while. We can't seem to be mistreating him, can we?

Chun Tao chuckled to herself as she agreed. Wang Yang angrily flicked his sleeve and turned back to the carriage.

At dinner, everyone gathered around the fire, eating meat heartily. They chatted and laughed, washing away all the fatigue of the day.

Lian Xiuyan was naturally dissatisfied to see her son suffer a loss, but everyone seemed to be bewitched by Lian Rongrong.

Even though Xiuyan was alone, she didn't dare to be too arrogant.

She was eating meat here while her son was eating steamed buns in the car, which made it hard for Lian Xiuyan to swallow.

While everyone was distracted, Lian Xiuyan secretly put a few pieces of fish and four or five large pieces of beef into her bowl.

Seeing everyone chatting and laughing, Lian Xiuyan quietly got up, bent down to block the bowl, and moved step by step toward her son's carriage.

Ke Ren had just left the crowd when he ran into Lian Rongrong.

Lian Rongrong looked at Lian Xiuyan with a half-smile and asked softly:

"Why isn't Aunt eating meat? Don't you like it? If you don't like it, I'll take it back and share it with everyone!"

Without saying a word, Lian Rongrong snatched the bowl from Lian Xiuyan's hand and walked away without looking back.

Lian Xiuyan was seething with hatred, but she couldn't retaliate.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms as Lian Rongrong had arranged beforehand.

Although the border area is much warmer than the area north of Kunshan, it is still quite chilly at night.

Fortunately, all the houses in the village have coal stoves, and there is coal left over from the original villagers outside the houses.

Everyone lit the stove, and the room instantly became as warm as spring. However, Wang Yang, who was alone in the carriage, was shivering from the cold.

The next morning, Wang Yang sneezed one after another, and everyone thought that this young master would once again use illness as an excuse to avoid work.

But who would have thought that this young master would actually start working, something that was unprecedented for him.

The guards were extremely pleased to see Wang Yang admit defeat.

It seems that to punish villains, it has to be their third young lady who always keeps her word.

Now that everyone had a basic place to stay, Lian Rongrong divided them into two groups starting from the second day.

One group, led by Chen Si, was responsible for continuing to repair the houses in the village. The other group, led by Xiao Liu, began digging secret passages.

In fact, at this moment, no one could understand why Lian Rongrong was so fixated on digging up this secret passage.

It wasn't until one day later, when the secret passage in the village saved everyone's lives, that they were incredibly grateful for Lian Rongrong's persistence.

For ten consecutive days, everyone worked from sunrise to sunset, and all the houses in the village that could be repaired were repaired.

Meanwhile, Xiao Liu and his group successfully dug a secret passage between the two houses.

"Miss, we've made a breakthrough. Would you like to take a look?"

After the secret passage was dug, Xiao Liu immediately showed it off to Lian Rongrong like a treasure. Lian Rongrong was also very interested and showed Xiao Liu their work.

The secret passage that Xiao Liu and his men dug wasn't wide; it was only wide enough for one person to walk through while bending over. However, although it was cramped, it still served its purpose of connecting the house to the outside.

“Very good, let’s do it this way. Connect the whole village according to our blueprints.”

"Yes, Miss!" Xiao Liu smiled, his face still covered in dirt.

However, Lian Rongrong could clearly see Xiao Liu's confidence. With the first secret passage successfully dug, Xiao Liu and all the guards no longer seemed to think that the blueprint was an impossible task.

With the ground repairs completed, everyone joined in the excavation of the secret passage.

Everything is proceeding according to Lian Rongrong's plan.

Seeing that everything was on track, Lian Rongrong remembered the path behind the mountain.

During this period, Lian Rongrong also tried to walk deeper into the alley, but every time she got halfway there, it was either too late or something happened at home.

This time, Lian Rongrong decided to thoroughly explore what lay at the end of the path.

If we want to get to the bottom of this, we naturally need plenty of time.

That day, Lian Rongrong made all the arrangements early in the morning, and then walked alone down that path.

Everyone was busy, and Lian Rongrong had been running around a lot lately, so even Lin Chuyue, who was always with Lian Rongrong, didn't notice that Lian Rongrong was missing.

However, there was one exception among the Lian family members: Lian Rongrong's second sister-in-law, Wen Hui.

Ever since moving into the village, Wen Hui's eyes have been fixed on Lian Rongrong.

Wen Hui always felt something was strange, as Lian Rongrong seemed to often be able to produce things that she had never seen before.

And some things seem to be inexhaustible. Like the milk powder that Fu Bao drinks.

Wen Hui had known the Lian siblings since childhood. Even though Lian Rongrong had been married for a year, she wouldn't suddenly know so many strange things.

Moreover, the Lian family's knowledge and experience are naturally far superior to that of the Qi family. And then there's Lian Rongrong's personality.

Although Lian Rong was the daughter of a military general, she had been educated by a noble family since childhood. Although she was occasionally unconventional, she always considered the feelings of others.

But right now, Lian Rongrong seems to be completely unrestrained, and her only principle is not to let herself or the people she cares about suffer any injustice.

As for the concepts of respecting elders and caring for the young, once Lian Rongrong's bottom line is crossed, these become utter nonsense.

This version of Lian Rongrong felt like a stranger to Wen Hui. Wen Hui even wondered if Lian Rongrong's soul had been stolen? But even Wen Hui herself found this idea laughable.

Even so, Wenhui still felt that Lian Rongrong was up to something, so she kept a close eye on her.

Whether it was day or night, Wen Hui's eyes were always on Lian Rongrong.

However, Wenhui is very clever; she knows how to hide herself.

Wenhui continued to behave virtuously and kindly. She and the maids took care of everyone's meals together, and as usual, she paid her respects to the old lady and Lian's mother every day.

Wen Hui's actions remained almost unchanged, but it was precisely because of this that she was able to better monitor Lian Rongrong.

However, such concealment also brought some minor troubles to Wen Hui, namely that when Rongrong occasionally disappeared, she had nowhere to look for her.

However, if you are determined, you can always find clues.

On the very day that Lian Rongrong walked alone down the path, Wen Hui finally found the answer that shocked her.
