I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night Chapter 31

Chapter 31

Lost Everything
“Now that we’re gone, what do you think the royals who stayed in the capital want the most?”
Lu Ze didn’t answer Lin Suisui’s question directly. Instead, he asked her in a low voice.
“Of course they want to replace you!” Lin Suisui replied almost without thinking. This was an answer that anyone knew. Was there a need to ask?!
“But it’s not easy to get that position. Just getting rid of me is far from enough! So in order to get that position, they need something else.
For example, the support of the ministers, or, more importantly, the hearts of the people.”
Lu Ze patiently explained these things to Lin Suisui that she didn’t understand previously. “And from a certain perspective, appeasing the refugees to go to the north to reclaim the land is very helpful for them to accumulate popular support!
That’s why they arranged for their trusted aides to participate in this matter.”
Lin Suisui nodded. Although she didn’t know much about such things, she knew that if this matter was done well, it would indeed be a good thing for the country and the people.
At the very least, it would allow the victims to have a place to live and not be stranded in an unfamiliar land with no one to rely on.
However, when she thought of Du Yuanruo, she couldn’t help but frown. “But that person just now will probably cause a disaster!”
“With Prince Pei watching, nothing will go wrong.” Lu Ze was very confident in Pei Qian. He took the herbs that Lin Suisui had just dug out and placed them in the basket on her back. He comforted her in a low voice, “You just have to take care of yourself.”
Lin Suisui nodded and didn’t say anything else. Instead, she tried her best to search for herbs and wild vegetables.
When Lin Suisui returned to the camp, she realized how ruthless Pei Qian was.
Not only did he kill the refugees who came to snatch her things, but he also really set up a rack outside Du Yuanruo’s tent and hung those bloody corpses in a row like lanterns…
Du Yuanruo was so angry that he almost fainted. However, the bloody scene reminded him of what Pei Qian had done in the capital previously. In the end, he didn’t dare to confront him.
Everyone knew that lunatics weren’t to be trifled with!
Although Pei Qian looked gentle and refined now, in reality…
Not only did Pei Qian’s move suppress Du Yuanruo, but it also frightened the new refugees who had just joined. At least in the next few days, there were no more robberies in the camp.
With the ox cart, the thing that made Lin Suisui the happiest was that Little White had a place to settle down.
During this period of time, under Lin Suisui’s meticulous care, the little fellow finally recuperated. It had fattened up and began to have the strength to stand up and walk!
Lin Suisui didn’t want to attract too much attention, so during this period of time, after arriving at the camp, she secretly brought Little White outside so that it could get some fresh air. Usually, she only let it stay in the ox cart.
Although the space was small, it was much better than before when it could only stay in the basket.
Little White was quite obedient. It usually only played in the ox cart and didn’t have the desire to explore the new world. This saved Lin Suisui a lot of trouble.
The journey for the next few days was peaceful. On the fifth day, the weather suddenly changed. In the afternoon, it suddenly rained.
Resettlement of so many people was a big problem, so Pei Qian immediately instructed the team to stop, set up camp, and rest. They would travel after the rain stopped.
Lin Suisui and Lu Ze found a quiet place and used the tree trunks and carriage shed to build a shelter for the cows from the rain and wind with the tarpaulin they had used to set up the tent. She and Lu Ze stayed in the ox cart, which was shielded from the wind and rain.
It was easy to settle them down, but it would take some effort for Mrs. Luo and the others to settle down. Fortunately, they had been practicing during this period of time. Lu Ze only went over to give them a simple hand, and Mrs. Luo’s tent was set up.
The two families weren’t far apart every time they settled down. It was also the mutual trust that they had cultivated during this period that brought the two families closer.
Seeing that Mrs. Luo had settled down, Lu Ze turned around and was about to go back when he suddenly bumped into a woman walking over with an umbrella.
Lu Ze reacted quickly and took two steps back, but the woman clearly didn’t have such a quick reaction speed. With a cry of surprise, she fell into the mud.
“What did you do to my sister?!”
Lu Ze looked expressionlessly at the little girl who was standing in front of him and criticizing him righteously. He was too lazy to say a word and planned to turn around and leave.
However, this little girl was very stubborn. She opened her arms and stood in front of him rudely. She didn’t intend to give in at all and demanded an explanation. “What’s wrong with you?! Didn’t you see that my sister fell? You actually want to leave just like that?!”
“What does your sister falling have to do with me?!” Lu Ze looked coldly at the little girl in front of him. If Lin Suisui were here, she would be able to tell that he was already quite impatient. “I didn’t push her or bump into her. Men and women shouldn’t touch each other. Should I stay here and let you guys cling to me?!”
“Ah Juan, don’t talk nonsense. I just accidentally fell. It has nothing to do with him.”
Lu Ze’s words were quite ruthless. The little girl was immediately furious. She wanted to scold Lu Ze again, but the woman who had fallen to the ground had already pushed herself up and stopped her sister’s accusation with a disapproving expression. Then, she looked at Lu Ze apologetically and bowed to him uneasily. “I’m sorry. My sister was just worried. Please…”
Before she could finish speaking, she saw that the person she was talking to had already turned around and left without looking back. It was as if she didn’t exist at all!
In the rain and fog, Miao Niang bit her lower lip and looked at Lu Ze’s back indignantly. She didn’t believe that she was inferior to that weak and sickly Madam Liu!
Mrs. Luo had seen this scene clearly from the side. She couldn’t help but come out and stand at the entrance of her tent. She advised the sisters rudely, “Girl, give up! The couple has a good relationship. You’re an unmarried girl. Don’t be evil. When the time comes, you’ll be the one to suffer!”
