“Forget it. This is your private matter. It has nothing to do with me.”
Qin Xiaofeng sighed and suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.
He had once heard of Lady Qin’s deeds. Her medical skills were extremely
superb and exquisite. She could even easily complete many operations that the imperial doctors could not do.
The last time she treated the soldiers and their families in Ping City, the reward given by The Imperial Court was a test.
The person sitting in the throne room was very interested in the woman in front of him.
Only now did Qin Xiaofeng seriously take a good look at the man and woman in front of him. Regardless of appearance, temperament, or skills, they were simply a match made in heaven.
To put it bluntly, anyone standing next to the two of them would feel uncomfortable. It was as if the two of them were born for each other. Just thinking about separating the two of them would make them feel guilty.
If someone had offended Marquis Qin in such a manner, they would have been punished long ago. However, Qin Xiaofeng was also subdued by the elegant bearing of the two and began to cherish their talents.
He looked at MO Ruyue and suddenly asked tentatively, “Lady Qin, if I want to invite you to accompany the disaster relief team to rescue the people, are you willing?
When MO Ruyue heard Qin Xiaofeng expose her identity, she had already guessed what he was going to say next, so she immediately rejected him.
“No, I’ve been there for more than a month. It’s time to find my family.” Hearing her say this, Qin Xiaofeng realized that her five babies were not in the carriage.
According to the information he had gathered, MO Ruyue had Qin Ming’s five children with her. Although she was not related to them by blood, she took good care of them.
The babies were not with her now. It was probably because MO Ruyue wanted to go to the disaster relief, but she couldn’t let the babies be in danger, so she arranged for them to be in a relatively safe place.
Thinking about it, she had already been separated from the children for more than a month. It would be a little difficult to forcefully take her away to help with the disaster relief.
“Alright, since that’s the case, then I won’t force you. Have a safe journey, I will bid farewell here.”
Qin Xiaofeng cupped his fists at MO Ruyue and Gu Ying and prepared to continue on his journey.
“Marquis Qin, please wait.”
MO Ruyue suddenly called out to him.
“Although I can’t go back with you, I have something here that I think you can use when the time comes.”
She pointed at the trailer behind the carriage. “There are some herbs here. We originally wanted to use them on the wounded and sick along the way.
However, our ability is limited. We can’t save everyone.”
“Since Marquis Qin is leading the disaster relief team, there should be quite a number of doctors in the team. These herbs should be of use to them.”
“Of course. Although The Imperial Court has also raised a lot of herbs, food, and money, I’m afraid these things are far from enough for the many people in the south who have been affected by the disaster.”
“If Lady Qin can donate the herbs in her hands, that would be the best.”
Qin Xiaofeng didn’t reject MO Ruyue’s donation just because she didn’t donate enough herbs. Instead, he sincerely thanked her after accepting it.
“I still have some valuables here. I was robbed by a group of bandits on the way here, and then I robbed them. Disaster relief also requires money. Take it as me doing my best for the disaster victims.”
MO Ruyue said and nodded at Gu Ying. The latter quickly pulled out two boxes from the carriage.
To them, wealth was just a number now. If these assets were handed over to the right people, it would help more disaster victims. That would be the most meaningful thing.
“This… Lady Qin, are you sure you want to donate these too?”
Qin Xiaofeng looked at the two chests of gold, silver, jewelry, banknotes, and antiques. With his eyesight, it was very easy for him to roughly estimate a number.
That was definitely a huge amount of wealth, and it could cause many people to fight over it endlessly. But MO Ruyue had donated it so easily?
“This isn’t my money to begin with. I just snatched it from the bandits. Now that I can use it in a more suitable way, why not?”
MO Ruyue saw Qin Xiaofeng’s confused and shocked expression and shrugged indifferently. “Alright, don’t look at me like that. I’m just offering Buddha a borrowed flower. Marquis Qin, have a safe journey. I wish you a smooth disaster relief.”
“Alright, then this in will thank Lady Qin for her generosity on behalf of all the people affected by the disaster. Don’t worry, this money and herbs will definitely be used in the most suitable and scarce places.”
Qin Xiaofeng didn’t say anything more. He just ordered his soldiers to move the two boxes of valuables and the herbs on the cart. Then, he cupped his fists at MO Ruyue and turned to leave with his team.
The three of them only returned to the carriage after the entire disaster relief team had gone far away. However, Deng Feng was the one driving the carriage this time, while MO Ruyue and Gu Ying returned to the carriage.
“Bing ‘Er, I’ve checked carefully along the way. I heard that the Bai family is heading toward Ping City, but there has been no news of Imperial Doctor Tian.
I think we should find the Bai family first before asking for news of Imperial Doctor Tian.”
Gu Ying took out a map. It was a map of the entire country that he had pieced together based on the detailed maps of various places.
He pointed at a place on the map. It was very close to the capital.
“Yes, I think so too. After all, it was the Bai family who arranged for Imperial Doctor Tian to leave. After the initial chaos, things have gradually settled down. It’s time to look for clues about the missing people.”
“In addition, I also miss Old Master Bai and Bai Shiyuan’s physical condition very much. Although their conditions had improved when I left, I’ll still be more at ease to see them recover with my own eyes.”
MO Ruyue treated the Bai family as her friends. That was why she told them about the natural disaster. Now, she was even more concerned about the family’s safety.
“Then, when will you bring the babies out?”
Gu Ying didn’t make a sound but mouthed to MO Ruyue.
He also deliberately lowered his voice so that the sound of the carriage could cover his voice, but he still used the safest method.
“I think it should be in this city.”
MO Ruyue pointed at a city several miles away from them and said, “It’s relatively safe here. I’ll go over early and settle the babies down. Then, I’ll come back to meet you.”
They were moving very slowly now, and they would have to travel dozens of miles until tomorrow. She still had a day to arrange this matter.
After six hours, the carriage stopped again. This time, MO Ruyue suggested to scout the way, while GuYing stayed behind to prepare dinner.
MO Ruyue rode on Big Black and quickly arrived at the place called Dian City.
This was a medium-sized city. Although it was not hit by meteorites during the natural disaster, the secondary disasters that occurred still affected the lives of the people in the city.
There were already many disaster victims who had rushed over to ask for a place to live. Therefore, the streets of the city were filled with disaster victims who were dressed in ragged clothes and had yellow and emaciated faces.
They gathered in twos and threes under the eaves and at the corners of the walls, leaning against each other to keep warm.
Everyone looked dull and exhausted. It was obvious that such a difficult life of survival had already made them numb..
