The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 262 - 168: Wicked Folks from Impoverished Lands (Part 2)
The little princess’s sweet and soft voice echoed in the ears, and Lian Qiao looked at those spirited eyes, unable to express the gratitude in her heart.
Next, the little princess told her everything she had done with the General in the past few days.
After listening, Lian Qiao burst into tears, even wanting to kneel down and knock her head three times.
Of course, Yun Chunnuan stopped her.
Lian Qiao couldn’t wait to do the next things but was forcibly pressed onto the bed by her.
"Your upcoming tasks are heavy, as hundreds of people need you, the princess, to handle the aftermath. You must take care of your health."
Just like that, Lian Qiao was forcibly controlled by the little princess not to leave the door, lying in the mansion for three days straight.
On the morning of the fourth day, she got up to dress and put on makeup.
Although the country was broken and the family destroyed, facing the citizens of Sha Hai Country, she did not want to appear disheveled in their eyes.
She had to bring them hope.
After tidying up, Lian Qiao was called by Qiao’er to the main courtyard for breakfast.
It was sweet potato porridge she ate continuously for three days but still hadn’t had enough, along with a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a plate of vinegar-sautéed shredded potatoes.
No fish or meat, yet more delicious than the exotic delicacies she ate when she was a princess.
After the meal, the party set off.
The General was not there, Lian Qiao asked, but the little princess only said he was busy without explaining further.
However, even though he wasn’t there, he sent a dozen guards to protect the little princess.
Soon, Yun Chunnuan brought Lian Qiao to Lower Street.
Unlike the bustling main street in the Royal City, or the vibrant Upper Street, Lower Street was broader but chaotic and noisy.
Beggars were everywhere, elderly people who had nothing to eat, children dressed in rags...
Yun Chunnuan’s group appeared here, standing out in contrast.
The children in ragged clothes playing around all stopped, curiously standing by the road, observing the prettiest big sister in front.
They murmured, saying who knows what.
Children are always fearless.
Soon, a little girl with disheveled hair and a runny nose stood in front of the prettiest sister, "Are you a fairy from the heavens? Anu, hungry..."
This was the first time Yun Chunnuan came to the center of Lower Street.
She had only been to the surroundings that intersected with Upper Street, which were clean and tidy due to the city guards’ management, with no such poor people.
Such extreme disparity made Yun Chunnuan recall the poverty gap diagram of a certain country shown by the teacher on the large screen during class.
Just a street apart, one side was a paradise for the rich, the other a hell for the poor...
In the original owner’s memory, it was said how poor Bianliao was.
But after Yun Chunnuan truly arrived, living a life of luxury in the General Mansion.
Going to the Royal Palace, she felt those rumors about Bianliao should have been deliberately spread by the enemy.
Bianliao was at most not wealthy, how could it be called impoverished?
Now delving into Lower Street... she truly understood.
No wonder her husband prepared so many guards for her, although the children had no malice, the eyes of the beggars lying on the ground, whether men or women, seemed ready to tear her apart.
Yun Chunnuan actually brought food.
But if she took it out in this situation, it would undoubtedly add trouble.
"Little friends, sister didn’t know you were hungry, didn’t bring food over. Later, when sister returns home, I’ll bring you some delicious food..."
"Nonsense! Look at that girl beside her, clearly carrying a bag of food!"
No one knew who said this, but dozens of children swarmed forward.
Yun Chunnuan was startled; this was a situation she hadn’t anticipated at all.
In the past few days, she saw the citizens of Sha Hai Country all at the Government Office, and accommodating them collectively was entrusted to Banlai by her husband.
This morning before dawn, he was called away by Banlai, specifically instructing Qiao’er to wait for him until noon.
If he couldn’t come back, she should directly go to that restaurant, letting the guards watch over the citizens of Sha Hai Country, and meet them there.
But Yun Chunnuan thought she, as the wife of a general of the country, had never seen the suffering of Lower Street citizens; she had to take a look, seizing this opportunity, she could also help Lian Qiao.
Unexpectedly...
Misery breeds banditry, true regardless of location.
Previously she only saw the honesty and warmth of Upper Street citizens but hadn’t witnessed the ferocity like wolves of Lower Street. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
When those kids rushed forward, the guards already surrounded them, protecting the little princess.
But faced with too many people, they were soon surrounded.
Qiao’er grew up in the General Mansion, never encountering such scenes, even Lian Qiao was frightened.
But Yun Chunnuan, only after panicking for a few seconds, stabilized her mind.
If she were a girl from an ordinary family, she would undoubtedly turn and leave immediately.
But she was the wife of a general.
If scared by a few unruly hooligans, how could she live up to being the General’s wife!
Merely cowards masquerading as strong, she had seen the likes back at grandma’s side.
By now, a large crowd from Lower Street gathered.
Not only Lian Qiao and Qiao’er, but even the guards urged her to leave quickly.
Seeing them unable to hold on any longer, Yun Chunnuan pulled away a guard shielding her.
Grabbed the wrist of the man fighting with the guard.
In his moment of astonishment, without hesitation, she directly broke his entire arm.
"Ahhh—"
Like the cry of a slaughtered pig, reverberating through all of Lower Street!
The sound was so fierce it overshadowed all noise.
In an instant, there was dead silence, even collectively retreating, all believing the guards went lethal, fearing they’d suffer too...
