Outside the Jun Residence, there was a sea of people.
Apart from the beggars and impoverished families in need of relief, there were also many well-off individuals present.
Of course, they had come purely for the spectacle.
At this moment, the free medical consultation and congee distribution had not officially started yet.
Everyone was excitedly whispering to each other.
“The Guardian Princess truly lives up to her reputation. She defeated the Dingbei Army earlier and defended our Tianjing City. Now, she’s even considering the common people in the city. She’s truly dedicated to the welfare of the people.”
“That’s right. A kind-hearted person like the Guardian Princess is truly a rare sight. If anyone dares to speak ill of her, I won’t stand for it!”
“I’m with you. The Guardian Princess is our guardian angel, a true bodhisattva who cares for the common people. Anyone who maligns her has a black heart!”
“Oh, look, the gates are opening!”
The crowd immediately stopped talking and all turned their attention to the gates. Many who couldn’t see clearly tried to push forward, causing a momentary commotion.
Seeing the chaos outside, Su Lie thought to himself that his mistress had foreseen everything. He hurriedly said, “Everyone, please don’t push. Milday has said that as long as you genuinely need it, you can receive free medical consultations or congee from the Jun Mansion this time. Please line up properly, and if anyone disrupts the order, they will be removed immediately!”
Two rows of sturdy men marched out and stood on both sides of Su Lie, forming a protective barrier.
Seeing these strong men, everyone couldn’t help but feel apprehensive.
Combined with the reputation of Gu Qingluan, the crowd was intimidated and quickly lined up on their own.
However, there were some troublemakers who didn’t intend to listen, and their actions stood out.
Su Lie didn’t waste words; he waved his hand, and immediately, two burly men rushed toward the troublemakers.
Other people quickly made their way to allow the Jun Residence’s guards to pass.
“What are you doing?”
The person caught by the two men shouted anxiously.
The two men didn’t say a word. They twisted his arm and dragged him away.
“Let go of my young master!”
Two more men rushed to the scene when they saw the trouble, and they were grabbed by the big men. With a twist of their hands, the pain made the troublemakers scream.
The burly men simply dragged them away.
Seeing a young master and his servants being carried away like little chickens, the scene fell into silence for a moment.
“Don’t be afraid, everyone. As long as you line up properly and don’t cause trouble, you won’t be dragged away,” Su Lie reassured the frightened crowd with a smile.
The crowd dared not cause any more trouble.
Being publicly taken away like that would be a complete loss of dignity, wouldn’t it?
Moreover, causing a disturbance here was the same as challenging the Guardian Princess. Did they have a death wish or did they find life too boring and wanted to make a joke out of themselves?
Even those who were originally inclined to be unruly didn’t dare provoke any more trouble. Each one of them behaved as obedient as a quail.
Seeing that the method of using an example to deter others was effective, Su Lie showed a satisfied expression.
Next, Tang Shijun directed the servants from the Jun Residence to bring out tables, chairs, and other items that would be needed today and arrange them at the entrance.
They divided the area into two stalls. On one side, they set up a small partition next to the tables and chairs, and on the other side, in addition to tables and chairs, they placed many bowls and chopsticks.
Some who had come just to watch the spectacle couldn’t help but ask, “When is the Guardian Princess coming out?”
At the moment, they didn’t know that the initiator of this charitable event was Gu Qingluan’s son. They thought it was her doing.
Just then, someone with sharp eyes spotted the figures of one adult and two children approaching from inside the gate and excitedly shouted, “The Guardian Princess is here!”
Everyone focused their gaze and excitement surged.
“It’s really the Guardian Princess!”
Some people couldn’t help but want to push forward, but they remembered the scene where the Jun Residence guards had dragged away the disobedient ones earlier. So, they restrained themselves, but their emotions remained high.
When they saw Gu Qingluan walking out from the gate, everyone got a clear view of her and noticed that she was accompanied by one child on each side.
The two children were dressed in black and white brocade robes, exquisite and adorable. Their lively eyes were big and round, capable of melting anyone’s heart.
Therefore, even though the crowd had initially come for Gu Qingluan, they were still captivated by the two children and couldn’t help but divert some of their attention to them.
“All, didn’t the Guardian Princess only have one son? Which one of them is her son? And who is the other one?”
