The next day, the butler of the general's mansion came to Xiao Baili and said that the food was ready.

Xiao Baili also knew that Ge Chunru was grounded and couldn't squeeze other people dry, so there was no point in staying in the general's mansion.

So she brought Xiao Erlang to the outside of the city to give porridge.

They gave porridge for several days.

It wasn't thin porridge but was partially starchy.

In addition, everyone had a hot mixed-grain bun.

Because of the heavy snow, some villagers were troubled and ran to the capital to seek shelter and beg.

They all gathered outside the city and became a group of refugees.

However, there weren't many people giving alms, so life was very difficult.

The emperor sent his people to stabilize the situation and help build a shack for them to stay.

Every day, some dry mixed-grain cakes were given out, but that was to ensure that they did not starve to death.

Therefore, when they had a bowl of warm porridge and a hot steamed bun, everyone looked at Xiao Baili, who was giving out porridge not far away.

They all felt that this young lady was beautiful and kind-hearted.

Xiao Yuanshi, who was paying for the food, was completely ignored by everyone.

That day, after Liang Mingcheng and Xi Xinheng met, they even brought up this matter.

Liang Mingcheng said, "What is Xiao Yuanshi thinking about all day? He is building roads and giving out porridge, but he is not the one that others are thankful for."

Everyone in the capital knew that General Xiao had done something wrong to his ex-wife and his children.

He had nightmares every day and felt uneasy, so he could only try his best to make up for the guilt he felt towards his ex-wife and children.

His ex-wife wanted to repair the roads, so he paid someone to do it.

His daughter saw that the refugees outside the capital were pitiful, so he spent money to buy food and porridge.

Since everyone in the capital heard his reasons to do so, many people thought that Xiao Yuanshi must have gone too far in the past, which was why he felt uneasy and made up for it.

Then, be it the commoners who benefited from the road construction in the outskirts of the capital or the refugees outside the capital, they were all grateful to Mdm Kong and Xiao Baili.

Anyway, no one really said that Xiao Yuanshi was good.

There were even people who laughed behind his back that he had lost his mind.

Xi Xinheng chuckled softly. "He might have been schemed against by Shi Qingluo and her husband."

Only Shi Qingluo and her husband could think of such a method.

Xiao Yuanshi might even believe that since he had spent money to do good deeds, others would feel indebted to the general's residence.

He probably did not expect that every time he did something, the capital would spread the news of his reason for doing so.
