After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 532: Ignoring it

Lin Rusi frowned slightly, but nodded to indicate that the other party should not worry too much. Then she looked away and turned to look in another direction.

Following her gaze, he saw several village names there, and subtly nudged the slender waist beside him.

Lin Rusi guessed that she was to deal with this, so she didn't resist much and turned around and went back.

"What's wrong? Is there something at home that you can't resolve?"

"Madam, although we have enough food, the child has no breast milk and we've been going to the outskirts of the city..."

Li Jingyang hadn't gone far when he heard what the man said. His brows furrowed even more, and after a long while, he let out another sigh.

“This is really troublesome, but don’t worry, I remember a recipe to help with lactation. You can try it first. During this period, you can also give the child egg and millet porridge to help with the transition.”

Unexpectedly, Lin Rusi really had a solution. The two immediately thanked her and quickly led their men back.

She initially thought they were all minor issues, but when another incident occurred, her brows furrowed deeply.

Why did the argument occur?

"Madam, this man is hungry and is stealing our military rations. You should know that we are already struggling to make ends meet. If we don't have enough to eat, we won't even be able to defend ourselves."

Lin Rusi naturally couldn't believe one side of the story, so she turned around and looked at the seat next to her.

The other party understood her meaning and immediately spoke up to explain.

“This isn’t his stuff. I just got it back. You can see my name is on it if you don’t believe me.”

The people directly exposed the names on the bags to Lin Rusi.

The evidence was conclusive, but the officer refused to admit it, glaring fiercely at the man before repeating his previous excuse.

“If you don’t have enough to eat, you can say so. Why force the common people to give you their food? They don’t have as much as you do.”

"Naturally, it was because he deliberately showed off in front of me that my family is here too, but it's just me and my mother. We only brought back a few children. This person mocked me, saying that being a soldier at the station is not as good as having two more children."

Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi frowned, and before she could speak, she saw a long sword fall between the two of them.

Everyone immediately looked up and saw that Li Jingyang had already walked up to them.

Realizing something was wrong, everyone immediately moved aside and looked helplessly at the spot next to them.

"What's going on? Why would anyone do this?"

"This, I, we are all friends, just joking. Please don't take it to heart."

“What joke? You can talk about me, but you can’t forgive me for mocking my mother so much that she’ll starve to death.”

Hearing this, Lin Rusi tried to mediate, but then a silver light suddenly swept across their eyes.

The two were startled and immediately sat down on the ground.

Li Jingyang completely ignored the two of them and calmly looked at the seat next to him.

"If anyone causes trouble like this again in the future, throw them all into jail."

"Your Highness, spare my life!"

"Spare my life? Do you know how many people this will make uneasy?"

The two who were just about to say something else fell silent, unsure of what to do.

Li Jingyang, however, did not give anyone a chance and pointed directly at the county magistrate on the side.

"The food supply was halved this month, and the two men were imprisoned for three days."

Everyone was taken aback and wanted to offer some advice, but then they heard a commotion coming from outside the city.

After their eyes met, everyone fell silent for a long time before finally turning their gaze back to Li Jingyang.

"Your Highness, perhaps you should deal with the situation outside first?"

"Outside?"

I just finished dealing with things outside, why are you causing trouble again? Do you want to be punished?

"Why don't you dare answer? Are you trembling with fear? Hahaha!"

The Liang people outside the city gate still received no response, and they let out another cold laugh, uttering even more outrageous words.

"I had heard that the Crown Prince was here, and I thought we could have a good fight, but it turns out he's a coward. What a disappointment."

"Yes, yes!"

Local officials and soldiers continued to echo their sentiments, attempting to provoke the people out.

Li Jingyang was indeed somewhat dissatisfied, but seeing Lin Rusi holding his hand, he could only pretend he couldn't hear anything.

"You're being insulted like this, and Madam won't even let me fight back?"

"That's because it's all to get you out of here. You might get hurt by a lot of sneak attacks later."

Of course he knew about this. Li Jingyang frowned again and held Lin Rusi's hand tightly.

After a while, the sounds outside finally disappeared, and he finally let out a sigh of relief.

"What are we going to do next? Just let my husband be called a coward like this?"

"Of course not, let's go back and discuss this further."

"Since Madam has a solution, then I won't be angry anymore. I just hope Sisi can get revenge for me."

Seeing the face that was leaning closer, Lin Rusi could only place her hand on the other person's chest and push him away.

The group quickly entered the room and saw the two people standing there.

"lady."

"Do you know where those people's provisions have been hidden?"

The group was taken aback for a moment, then realized what Lin Rusi was thinking, but none of them were willing to speak up.

After all, that place must be heavily guarded, and it would be impossible to get close to it easily.

Noticing this, Lin Rusi wasn't angry, but instead turned her gaze to Li Jingyang.

"Go and scout ahead first, but don't take any action."

"Yes."

Watching the guards rush out quickly, Lin Rusi pulled out the map from the drawer once again.

After gesturing slightly with his fingers along the route the other person had taken, he guessed what was going on and stopped in a densely wooded area.

"Does the lady believe they would hide the grain here?"

"No, the supplies will follow the main force, but there might be another group of people here to provide support."

Li Jingyang didn't know what this so-called "rescue" was, so he couldn't help but frown. After thinking for a moment, he found the answer.

His gaze fell on the others, and after scrutinizing them repeatedly, he finally selected a few soldiers whose facial features were slightly different.

"Do you speak the Liang language?"

"This……"

Knowing that this would put the group in a difficult position, Li Jingyang remained silent for a moment.

Lin Rusi naturally stepped forward and whispered a few words of advice, after which those people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is it really okay to just speak a little awkwardly?"

"Don't worry, you heard what those people were saying just now. Just stay that way."

"Take as few supplies as possible back at once. If the area is heavily guarded, burn it with that bottle of kerosene."

Even without that, they couldn't endure it.

The soldier nodded knowingly, glanced at Li Jingyang to get his approval, and then quickly headed towards another side door.

After all the people she had brought back had left, Lin Rusi let out a sigh of relief.

"Did Father say anything about when the troops and supplies will arrive? If we keep holding on like this, I'm afraid we'll still be at a disadvantage."

"I've already sent someone to urge them, but there's been no response."
