Chapter 268 Devotion

Seeing that Xia Daohua and Linghua were fine, the Xia family finally calmed down.

Wang's eldest maid Si Xi also chatted with Xia Daohua and asked about food.

Xia Daohua frowned and asked, "How long will the food in Madam's hand be enough?"

Si Xi was a little unhappy and also frowned and replied:

"The distribution of rice grains has been suspended for two days. The porridge shed has not stopped, but the porridge has become a lot thinner and I can no longer hold up the chopsticks."

Xia Daohua nodded: "This time I have contacted another batch of grain. It is estimated that it will be delivered almost tomorrow morning. You can send someone to the warehouse to pick it up at noon tomorrow."

Sixi's brows furrowed even more tightly.

This girl Xia Daohua has obviously been kidnapped in the past few days.

Although I don’t know how she deceived others and was able to be released safely, it is obvious that she is not out to contact for food these days.

What's the point of telling such lies at this time?

There is a high probability that she will not be able to bring out food tomorrow. When the time comes, the wife will not think that she sent the message wrong, right?

Xia Daohua saw that Si Xi hadn't left yet, so she turned around and went into the house, took out a snack box, and handed it to Si Xi with both hands:

"My wife has been troubled these past few days.

Business is urgent. Let’s take care of the food first. I’ll come to thank you in person in a few days.

Inside are some daily snacks, all of which are new products from ‘Daohuaxiang’. If Sister Sixi doesn’t like to eat them, you might as well keep them for others to enjoy.”

Si was happy to see Xia Daohua being so polite and swallowed back the bad words that came to her mouth.

Forget it, just spread the word yourself!

Anyway, this little trick can’t be hidden even from myself.

What's more, your wife has such a piercing gaze?

If by then, this girl really loses her temper, the wife will not blame herself.

Xia Daohua watched Sixi leave and sighed slightly.

Fortunately, this time, Eunuch Wei was frightened and had promised himself that he would cover for her and cooperate with her.

Eunuch Wei also gave her the names and contact information of several reliable subordinates, and even gave her Tian Huangshi's private seal, which is as clear as a person's seal.

With this, Xia Daohua can pull it out as a shield for the banner when she needs it, and she has several more flags.

That night, Xia Daohua wanted to sneak out and go to the warehouse to place the food, but it took a lot of effort.

Mainly because Mrs. Jiang reluctantly held Xia Daohua and Linghua, with her daughter in each hand, and slept very uneasily, as if she was afraid of losing them again.

Xia Daohua couldn't help but feel pity for Mr. Jiang.

She herself could never overcome her outsider mentality, even though she knew that she had traveled through this body and could never go back.

But it was still difficult for her to truly regard the people in front of her as her relatives.

In fact, my concern and concern for them are not as good as those of a few friends in my previous life who I didn't have particularly close contact with.

The reason for this is firstly because Xia Daohua didn't experience much family affection in her previous life and didn't quite understand how relatives should get along with each other; secondly, it was also because of her own mentality.

She suddenly understood why in ancient legends, reincarnation required drinking Meng Po soup to forget everything in the previous life.

If you are reincarnated carrying the memories of your previous life, some people may be able to devote themselves fully to their new identity, while others, perhaps most people, will probably be like her and find it difficult to fully devote themselves.

Looking at everyone, it's like looking at NPCs.

At this time, Jiang's true feelings were revealed, and Xia Daohua was deeply touched by her timidity and worry.

Mrs. Jiang is her current mother.

Even though Mrs. Jiang saw the changes in herself and her shortcomings, she always adopted a tolerant and patient attitude.

This time, Ms. Jiang felt truly distressed when she was kidnapped.

Just look at her peach-like eyes.

In these short three days and nights, Ms. Jiang cried so many times and shed so many tears.

Xia Daohua felt a sense of sadness in her heart.

She patiently took her hand out of Jiang's and patted her gently, just like a parent would do to coax a child to sleep.

With the rhythmic beating, Ms. Jiang gradually fell asleep.

In my sleep, I would occasionally sob.

Xia Daohua waited until everyone in the room was asleep, then quietly put an antidote under her tongue and lit a stick of quick-acting soothing incense.

Quick-acting soothing incense is a nice way of saying it, but it is actually a special kind of antiperspirant, or in other words, smoke-inducing incense.

When everyone was sleeping more deeply, Xia Daohua changed into men's night clothes and quietly went out.

Controlling the upgraded space, he quickly rushed to the warehouse, without opening the lock, and went straight into the warehouse through the space.

I simply cleaned the ground, used my consciousness or spirit to control the space supermarket, put the coarse grains I needed into sacks one by one, and stacked them in the warehouse.

After almost half of the warehouse was filled, Xia Daohua left through the wall with peace of mind and returned the same way.

After arriving home, I found that all my family members were sleeping soundly.

Xia Daohua took a simple wash and went to sleep.

The next morning, almost noon, Wang personally followed Sixi and brought a group of subordinates to the warehouse on the dock.

With a smile on her face, Xia Daohua opened the iron lock on the warehouse door herself.

Ms. Wang and her men were all stunned by the piles of sacks in the warehouse. The amount of goods, but looking at the bags, they knew it was far more than the quantity that had not yet been delivered!

After briefly checking a few bags, Wang was so excited that she held Xia Daohua's hand tightly:

"Ms. Xia, you saved the people of this city in Jixiang County!"

Xia Daohua shook her head disapprovingly:

"My wife is so complimentary. The people in Jixiang County are living a good life, why do they need my help?"

Wang said with a serious face: "

There are some people with bad intentions among the refugees, who are inciting them to cause trouble.

If the relief food is not in place, they will most likely start a riot. By then, there is no question whether our Jixiang County can be saved or not."

Xia Daohua couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Oh? Madam, can't you just let these villains fan the flames?"

Wang laughed and said:

“If you have food in your hands, you will not panic in your heart.

I didn't dare to use too strong measures before, just because I was afraid that these refugees would see the rumors and take the rumors seriously.

Now that I have food in my hands, why am I afraid of what he will do?"

Wang thought for a while and then said to Xia Daohua seriously:

"I don't care whether there is chaos elsewhere, but in this Jixiang County, there must be no chaos whatsoever.

This is the hinterland of Dachu, and it is so close to Kyoto. If chaos breaks out in Jixiang County, there will be wars everywhere.

At that time, it will still be the poor people who will suffer."

Xia Daohua was a little confused and nodded with a confused face. She didn't realize why Wang said this.

Good night.
