Ying Yufu clearly saw the malice in the pale yellow woman's eyes.

He refused, saying, "No, though I am a refugee, I do not sell myself."

The maid behind the woman in pale yellow immediately rebuked her, "You lowly commoner, how ungrateful you are! My young lady took pity on you and wanted to take you in, but you act all high and mighty. You really don't know what's good for you."

"You're calling us lowly people? We're all commoners, how are we lowly?" Ying Yufu's face darkened as she retorted.

"A lowly person is a lowly person. Why ask where you're lowly? You're lowly from head to toe!" the maid sneered.

Ying Yufu looked at her coldly.

The refugees behind her didn't react at all; they were starving, and whether she was considered lowly or not was irrelevant to them.

Dignity is something we only think about after we've had our fill of food.

What they want most right now is to fill their stomachs.

Ying Yufu took a deep breath, not wanting to argue with the maid, and looked at the woman in pale yellow.

The woman in pale yellow smiled slightly and gently scolded the maid behind her, "Ying'er, don't talk nonsense. This young lady is right. These are common people. You shouldn't scold them."

As she spoke, she personally took four large meat buns, walked around the porridge stall, and handed them to Ying Yufu.

Ying Yufu raised an eyebrow. Was she really that kind-hearted?

After all, she had clearly seen the malice in her eyes just now.

She reached out to take the meat bun.

The woman in the pale yellow bun also handed it over, but just as the bun was about to be handed to Ying Yufu, it suddenly slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.

"Oh no! It fell!"

As she spoke, she stepped forward to pick it up.

But whether intentionally or unintentionally, she stepped on the four meat buns, flattening them all.

The fragrant meat filling peeked out from the meat bun.

The nearby refugees, drawn by the aroma, immediately turned to look with eyes gleaming with envy.

However, they did not rush over to grab it immediately.

The woman in pale yellow smiled at Ying Yufu and said, "Look, they're all trying to snatch them. If you don't pick them up soon, these four big meat buns will be gone!"

Ying Yufu frowned.

This woman in pale yellow is truly incomprehensible.

The crown prince walked over, frowning, and said, "I clearly saw you step on it on purpose."

The woman in pale yellow glanced at the crown prince, her eyes flickering slightly. "You two are together, aren't you? Husband and wife, or siblings?"

"Alright then, you two come with me to the manor. One of you will be my foot-washing maid, and the other will empty my chamber pot. In return, I'll reward you with a meal, and you'll have clean, big meat buns to eat every day. How about that?"

Crown Prince: "..."

At this moment, some refugees could no longer contain themselves and came forward, their eyes fixed on the four large, flattened meat buns on the ground.

Ying Yufu ignored them and let those people come over and quickly snatch the meat buns.

In the blink of an eye, not even a single piece of meat remained on the ground.

In the crowd, several teenagers were gulping down meat buns that had been trampled on.

Ying Yufu's eyes immediately turned red.

She gritted her teeth in anger and raised her hand to slap the woman in pale yellow, just then a voice rang out.

"What happened here? Why is it so noisy?"

Several young people came out.

The speaker was none other than the Second Prince, Cang Mingze, who had arrived in Yuzhou earlier.

At the same time, Princess Mingluan, Su Jinyu, and others were with him.

Not only them, but Shangguan Hong, who moved into the Yuan residence yesterday, was also there.

The woman in pale yellow immediately changed her expression and said, "Your Highness, a few refugees were causing trouble, and I reprimanded them a few times."

After speaking, the woman in pale yellow glared angrily at Ying Yufu and the Second Prince.

Following her gaze, the Second Prince and the others also looked in the direction of Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince.

At that moment, Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince turned around to leave.

Being recognized here would be a bit troublesome.

"They're trying to escape! They really came here on purpose to cause trouble!" the woman in pale yellow exclaimed angrily.

Shangguan Hong stared at their backs, feeling inexplicably that they looked familiar.

The second prince also frowned. Those two figures seemed familiar.

The woman in pale yellow immediately said, "Take them down!"

As the guards were about to seize the man, Shangguan Hong suddenly said, "Wait!"

The guards paused, and the woman in pale yellow looked at Shangguan Hong, frowning. "Cousin Hong, what do you mean by this? Why are we waiting? Are you trying to protect these two?"

Shangguan Hong's eyes flickered slightly. "They are just ordinary refugees, not causing trouble. On the contrary, it was you, Fang Qiuhuan, who deliberately trampled on the grain and insulted the people."

Fang Qiuhuan's eyes widened. "Cousin Hong, how can you side with outsiders? I'm your fiancée!"

"Fiancée?" Shangguan Hong sneered, "You're just an unmarried woman, and you keep saying you're my fiancée? You say you're my fiancée, but have I acknowledged it? You don't even deserve that title!"

"you!"

Fang Qiuhuan's eyes widened, and tears instantly streamed down her face. She stomped her foot angrily, covered her face, and ran away.

"Hey, Cousin Qiu Huan!" the woman in blue called out quickly.

She wanted to chase after him, but hesitated because the Second Prince was there. Her cheeks flushed, and she said, "Your Highness, my cousin is still young. I'll go and comfort her."

The second prince glanced at the woman in blue and nodded slightly.

The woman in blue curtsied again before leaving.

After leaving, she couldn't help but glance at the two figures that had departed from the crowd.

An old nanny followed her over. The woman in blue's expression softened, and she said, "Did you see those two refugees just now? Catch them and deal with them."

Anyone who dares to cause trouble for the Yuan family deserves to die!

"Yes, Second Miss, this old servant will take care of it immediately."

Not long after Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince left, they sensed that someone was following them.

A murderous intent came from behind. Just as Ying Yufu was about to turn around and make a move, two figures suddenly appeared, one of them kicking several guys who were swinging knives at their backs to the ground.

"Your Highness, Princess." After kicking over the men, Sheng Dong and Ji west knelt down and clasped their hands in greeting.

"You can still recognize us like this?" Ying Yufu pointed to herself, quite surprised.

Feint to the east and Attack to the west, their expressions were complicated. "Princess, His Highness the Crown Prince once disguised himself as a beggar, and the two of us also disguised ourselves as beggars."

To be honest, the past is too painful to recall.

The crown prince turned his face away, looking slightly guilty.

Ying Yufu turned her head and silently glanced at the Crown Prince.

I've dressed up as a beggar before, so dressing up as a vagrant is nothing new.

At this moment, the former magistrate's soldiers who had been kicked to the ground were completely stunned.

They scrambled to their feet, their voices trembling with disbelief, "The...the Crown Prince?"

Why would the crown prince disguise himself as a beggar or a vagrant?

Isn't this harming them?

Why did you choose to become a refugee instead of the crown prince?

The Crown Prince and Ying Yufu then looked at the guards. Sheng Dong's face turned cold, and he said, "Your Highness, they are guards from the former residence!"

The Crown Prince said coldly, "Send them back. I want to ask Yuan Fuhai what grudge he held against him for sending his soldiers to kill them and silence them after just a few words of argument."

As soon as Yuan Fuhai returned to the Yuan residence, he saw Sheng Dong and Ji west leading two refugees in.

He was about to speak when he saw the two figures, Feint to the East and Attack to the West, staring at him coldly.

"Lord Yuan, please explain!"
