Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

These villagers are easy to fool; a little food and grain can make them so happy.

It seems that it should be easy for him to build a reputation for kindness along the way.

It's something that can be solved with money and food.

The villagers once again expressed their gratitude to the eldest prince.

When the guards saw this, they felt as if the sky had fallen.

Xiao Wu quickly went to the carriage, lifted the curtain of their own carriage, and checked how much food and supplies were left inside.

The moment Xiao Wu lifted the curtain and saw the empty carriage, he felt dizzy and disoriented.

No, how could the princess be so heartless!

They emptied everything out?

What will they eat from now on?

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, why did you take it all for us? We...we still want some!" He was somewhat angry.

This princess, relying on the eldest prince's few words to her, has become lawless and dared to distribute all of the eldest prince's belongings at will. Where did she get the audacity?

Ji Yunshu blinked innocently, feigning surprise.

"Oh dear, you don't have anything else? I saw you had so many wagons, I thought your other wagons had food and supplies too. Is this all you brought? Oh dear, it's all my fault, I'm so sorry."

"So what do we do now? These supplies have already been distributed to the villagers. Look how excited and happy he is. Why don't you go and ask for them back yourselves?"

She possessed the original owner's memories and naturally knew that the eldest prince had always cultivated a reputation for being kind and benevolent towards the people, all so that the support of these commoners would become a major asset when he ascended the throne.

Therefore, even if she distributed all the supplies to the villagers, the eldest prince couldn't possibly ask them back.

If they actually go and ask for it, and word gets out, the Crown Prince will lose all face.

As the eldest prince of a nation, it would be unthinkable for him, Prince Chu Jinsheng, to have to beg for food from ordinary people.

Having served the First Prince for many years, Xiao Wu naturally knew his style of doing things.

The items have already been sent out, and they will absolutely not be taken back.

If he were to ask the villagers to return it, he might get scolded, which would be a losing proposition.

He gritted his teeth, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Your Highness, what are you saying? Since the food has been distributed, there's no reason to ask for it back. As for our food problem, we can always find a way to eat ourselves."

Sigh, wasn't this princess devoted to their eldest prince before?

She always takes such good care of the eldest prince, how could she be so muddle-headed this time!

They distributed food and supplies, but didn't even leave any for the eldest prince.

He thought that Ji Yunshu would, as before, give the villagers a little bit of everything, and save the rest of the good stuff for the eldest prince.

Not only him, but even Chu Jinsheng himself thought so.

Before Ji Yunshu got married, she was very attached to him in the capital. Whenever she had something delicious or fun, she would think of him first.

Wherever he was, the best things never went to anyone else. Ji Yunshu would save the best for Chu Jinsheng, even if she herself couldn't bear to eat, use, or play with them.

Therefore, Chu Jinsheng naturally assumed that Ji Yunshu would definitely leave him some supplies.

He didn't have time to deal with this right now, because Ji Yunyao in his arms said that she was so frightened this time that her head was spinning.

He was worried that Ji Yunyao might forget something important, so he kept coaxing her.

After the supplies were distributed, the villagers spontaneously organized a meal for everyone at Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu's house.

The grain used for cooking was the same as what the eldest prince had brought.

The villagers were also very helpful, working together to prepare several tables of sumptuous food in no time.

It was all made using materials given by the eldest prince.

With meat, wine, rice, and vegetables, this was already considered an extremely luxurious meal for the villagers.

But the eldest prince didn't take these dishes seriously. He was used to the delicacies in the palace, and he frowned when he saw the food on the table in front of him.

Are these things meant for human consumption...?

It doesn't look appetizing at all.

He put his arm around Ji Yunyao.

"I don't have an appetite, would you like to eat something?"

Ji Yunyao nodded repeatedly. Of course she wanted to eat!

She was starving; she hadn't had a decent meal since she was exiled.

"Yes, yes, yes. I want to eat. I'm so hungry I'm dizzy and my mind is completely blank. Eating something might make me feel better."

Chu Jinsheng didn't say much, but had a servant get a bowl for Ji Yunyao.

Xiao Wu brought over a bowl and chopsticks. The bowl was filled with fluffy white rice, which smelled delicious. He reluctantly placed the bowl in front of the eldest prince.

"Your Highness, why don't you eat some?" He grinned, but his smile looked more like a grimace.

The eldest prince glared at him, his tone displeased.

"How do you expect me to eat? I have no appetite for the food they made. Later, tell your men to make me something cleaner."

Also, go and get me my snacks; I want to eat a little to tide me over.

Xiao Wu...

dessert?

Where did you get these snacks from?

Your snacks have long since ended up in the stomachs of those villagers.

Just now, he witnessed firsthand how the villagers, starving, gathered around and devoured all of the prince's snacks.

While eating, they kept praising it, saying it was incredibly delicious.

Even the princess took a few pieces and asked him if he wanted some...

He eats it?

Would he dare to eat it?

That's something even the eldest prince wouldn't dare eat!

"Your Highness, please eat some food. This is our last food supply, and it's already on the table. Your snacks were given to the villagers by the Princess, and they've all been eaten."

"What did you say?!" The eldest prince was slightly surprised.

Xiao Wu had a long face. The eldest prince was starting to get anxious. When he was talking to him just now, he hadn't paid any attention to him at all.

"Your Highness, I just called you to go and get some food for the Princess and the others, but you...you ignored me."

"As soon as the princess left, she took all the supplies from our carriage. Now there's nothing left, the entire carriage is empty, and we don't even have food for tomorrow."

Waaaaah, now you're worried? Where were you before?

The eldest prince gritted his teeth, "How could this happen!"

That bitch Ji Yunshu didn't even leave him any food this time?

Not a single thing was left?

Isn't she worried that he won't have anything to eat?

Ji Yunyao was also getting anxious, not even having time to swallow the food in her mouth. "Xiao Wu, what are you doing? Are you just going to stand there and watch Ji Yunshu take all the things? Couldn't you have stopped her? After she takes everything, what am I going to eat... what will the First Prince eat?"

She thought that her meal ticket had finally arrived and she would never go hungry again.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yunshu squandered all of the Crown Prince's supplies in just a few moments!
