I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

240 Trivial Matters

Just as Wei Qing had said yesterday, the county governor and his wife were cunning and self-serving. After encountering Lin Suisui, the county governor’s wife’s attitude was completely different when she visited again early the next morning.

Not only did she hand in a much more generous list of goods, but she also took the initiative to offer a farm in the suburbs to settle the temporarily homeless old, women, and children.

Lin Suisui’s attitude towards this kind of flattery was indifferent. She didn’t refuse this kind gesture, but she no longer revealed the intimacy and amiability she had when the county governor’s wife first came over.

The county governor’s wife also knew that her previous ambiguous attitude had already made the young madam in front of her unhappy. Therefore, she didn’t dare to cause any more trouble now. She became more cautious, since she was afraid that she would cause trouble if she wasn’t careful enough.

!!

Since the money and manpower were all sufficient, Lin Suisui didn’t delay any longer and quickly arranged for the relief of the refugees.

Originally, the residents of Cloud Mountain City had an indifferent attitude. Those families or shops that had donated silver and resources didn’t expect the things they donated to be used on the refugees. The reason they donated every time was just to avoid trouble!

Therefore, when the porridge shed and medicine shed were actually built and the arrangements to rebuild the house were put into effect, all of Cloud Mountain City’s residents were shocked!

There was actually a day when the relief for the refugees was actually carried out!

On the first day of the porridge distribution, Lin Suisui wasn’t allowed to go. The reason Lu Ze gave was very simple—it wasn’t safe.

Because on the first day of the relief, many of the arrangements were still in a state of adjustment. In addition, many refugees had rushed over, so it was inevitable that the scene would be a little chaotic. They had just settled down in the north and had even wiped out some of the factions that had occupied Cloud Mountain City for many years.

The timespan was too short, so it was inevitable that some corrupt officials had escaped the net.

If those people took advantage of the chaos, Lin Suisui might get hurt.

Lu Ze’s excuse was reasonable, so Lin Suisui didn’t insist. On the third day, Lin Suisui was allowed to go to the scene of the disaster relief with Lu Ze’s personal escort.

At this moment, after a series of arrangements and the county governor’s deliberate contribution, coupled with the fact that it was indeed fundamentally different from the previous years’ relief efforts, when Lin Suisui alighted from the carriage, she was greeted by a group of grateful citizens…

Lin Suisui subconsciously wanted to dodge, but Lu Ze reached out and pulled her to the ground. “You’re no longer just a doctor. You have to learn to adapt to these changes.”

Doctors could only save one or two people, but learning to someone powerful could help save more people!

As for those in power, what they needed wasn’t only benevolence, but also trust!

Only with the people’s trust could one gather more strength and complete more things that a mere doctor could only dream of!

And now was the beginning of her journey to gaining popularity.

There was no need for Lin Suisui to say anything else. Soon, someone went forward and helped up the refugees kneeling on the ground. Although Lin Suisui understood Lu Ze’s meaning, she didn’t just stand there. She went to the porridge shed to take a look before taking a detour to the medicine shed at the side.

For the time being, the refugees who came here to have their illnesses treated had very similar symptoms.

It was either the symptoms of a cold, or the injuries caused by the collapse of the house, or frostbite caused by the cold.

Lin Suisui carefully checked the prescription and the treatment of seriously injured patients. Then, she thanked Doctor Luo and the others who were in charge here before leaving the medicine shed. She asked the Prefectural Governor’s wife, who was guarding the door and hadn’t entered, “Madam, you previously said that we can clean up the nearby farmstead and settle those women and children there. I wonder if they can be settled now?”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged it,” the county governor’s wife replied repeatedly. This was an important chance for her to regain her image in front of Lin Suisui. She naturally couldn’t be perfunctory.

Hearing the county governor’s wife’s words, Lin Suisui nodded slightly and thanked her politely. Then, she intended to leave. However, before she could walk far, she was attracted by the commotion behind a ruin not far away.

She stopped and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw that there was an argument going on over there. It looked like a family. The agitated girl was struggling to break free from the grip of the people behind her. The fierce man in front of her, who was probably her elder, was clearly losing his patience. He raised his hand and slapped the little girl twice.

Seeing the little girl fall to the ground, Lin Suisui couldn’t bear to watch anymore. However, this was someone else’s family matter after all. Just as she was hesitating if she should send someone over to comfort the girl, the little girl suddenly jumped up from the rubble and turned around to rush towards Lin Suisui.

“Madam, please save my brother! Please!”

The little girl fell in front of Lin Suisui and kowtowed a few times. When the little girl looked up and cried for help, blood was already seeping out of her forehead.

“My father and stepmother want to sell my brother off. I can’t stop them…”

“This girl has always been unreasonable! We’re not selling her brother off. We’re just letting someone adopt him!” When the stepmother saw the little girl complain, her expression turned livid. Although she was a little afraid of the armed guards surrounding Lin Suisui, she still boldly came over and kowtowed, trying her best to muddle through this matter.

“Our family isn’t in a good financial situation! Her father isn’t in good health, and her mother is bedridden all year round. Now that we’ve suffered such a calamity, I can’t raise so many children at home!

Coincidentally, my brother has no children and has always liked my stepson, so I want my brother to adopt him and raise him. In the future, the family will have to rely on him!

Isn’t this better than starving to death at home?!

“But this girl is insensible. No matter what, she refuses to listen to reason! She even disturbed you. Please forgive her!”

“Her father isn’t in good health?” Lin Suisui glanced at the man standing not far away with a hunched back and a smile. Lin Suisui curled her lips in mockery and asked, “In that case, how could he have sent his daughter flying with a slap?!”
