Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Raise Children Frugally, Pamper Yourself with Wealth, As a Mother One Must Also Grow

Xiang Ying didn't even give her a glance.

She pointed to the Qintianjian family huddling together next to her and demanded that Huang Huzi also bring in that old supervisor.

Huang Huzi was getting anxious, he leaned in and lowered his voice: "Squeezing in two adults and three children into the horse shed is already the quota I've managed to carve out, and now you want to bring along an old man?"

Xiang Ying folded her arms: "No?"

Judging from her look, Huang Huzi felt intimidated, he could only clench his teeth and say: "Fine!"

Xiang Qianqian never expected the fierce team leader to actually agree to Xiang Ying's request.

She stood up in anger: "Big sister, how can you care about such an insignificant person? If there are spots available, why not help your family?"

Xiang Ying gave her a sideways glance: "I help whomever I want to help. The country has fallen, our home is gone, what 'family member' are you to me?"

"You!" Xiang Qianqian clenched her fists, her pretty, pale face tensing up.

She could only watch powerlessly as Xiang Ying confidently led Tao Xue and the children into the horse shed.

Xiang Qianqian turned her head and went to look for the Sixth Princess.

"Sixth sis, our elder sister is being too unreasonable, let's go reason with her. You don't want to sleep next to horse dung, right?"

Unexpectedly, the Sixth Princess, who always followed her lead, shook off her hand and leaned against a tree with her eyes closed.

"I need to rest now, fifth sister, if you want to go, go by yourself," Sixth Princess turned her back.

After witnessing the plight of the Sixth Princess, who would dare to easily help Xiang Qianqian?

Xiang Qianqian bit her lip, without anyone to join her, she was too conspicuous if she insisted, so she had to lower her flag and swallow her anger.

Xiang Ying, along with Tao Xue and the children, settled into a corner of the horse shed.

The ground was covered with very thin straws, Xiang Ying removed her outer robe, planning to lay it down to make the children a bit more comfortable.

Just as she reached to take it off, Xiang Yuanshuo anxiously pounced over, grabbing the lapel of her clothes.

"You must not do this!" The little boy's fair face was dirty and wretched after a day of exile.

But those eyes were still jet-black and shining, Xiang Yuanshuo bit his lip: "We don't need to stay in a horse shed, nor do we need to eat, and you must not take off your clothes for others to see."

Xiang Ying was surprised.

Where had the child's mind wandered to?

But then, seeing the humiliation sparkle in Xiang Yuanshuo's large eyes, she suddenly understood.

Although young, he had overheard from the whispered conversations of people around, comprehending what Xiang Ying had gone into the forest alone with Huang Huzi for.

So in his eyes, being able to stay in the horse shed, was a reward that mother had traded for with her body.

But as a little man, he believed he should not accept this, and so a simple act by Xiang Ying made him anxious.

Xiang Ying's gaze darkened, looking towards Xiang Yuanlang and Xiang Xiuxiu behind him.

Both children were silently hugging their knees, blinking and looking at her somberly.

Xiang Ying felt it was necessary to clarify things with the children.

She hooked Xiang Yuanshuo's neck, holding him in her embrace, the little one resisted twice, Xiang Ying said: "Shush, mom will tell you a secret, I certainly did not take off my clothes for anyone to see."

Xiang Yuanshuo stopped struggling, lifting his big eyes, suspiciously looking at her.

Xiang Ying lowered her voice: "Mom simply gave that Huang Huzi a beating until he howled, he got scared and agreed to give us some benefits."

"Look at this Exile Team, there are so many people, if everyone went to beat him up, wouldn't things turn into chaos?"

Xiang Yuanshuo nodded along, finally a light shone from his eyes: "I remember now, your martial arts are particularly good!"

He had seen it with his own eyes, back in the Imperial Palace, Xiang Ying could take down several soldiers in the blink of an eye.

Xiang Ying saw his innocent and bright smile: "So you can rest assured now, I just can't announce it publicly, but I definitely didn't suffer any loss."

With that, she pinched the child's cheek.

Xiang Yuanshuo suddenly stopped smiling, returning to his awkward demeanor and slapped her hand away.

"I wasn't worried about you, as long as you haven't burdened me and my younger siblings, that's all!"

He squeezed out from Xiang Ying's embrace and scurried over to Xiang Yuanlang and Xiang Xiuxiu to murmur among themselves.

Before long, the expressions on the three children's faces seemed relieved.

Just then, Huang Huzi came again.

Tao Xue immediately guarded Xiang Ying, protective in front of her: "What are you trying to do now?"

Huang Huzi, with a gloomy face, glanced around to make sure no one was watching, and then said to Xiang Ying: "That old supervisor from Qintianjian refuses to come in! His whole family is so stubborn, saying they won't take favours from thieves."

Hearing this, Xiang Ying's brows slightly arched.

The women and girls of the Qintianjian family had just been insulted by Huang Huzi and the soldiers.

It's natural not to accept such sudden favors.

Xiang Ying waved her hand: "Then forget it."

Huang Huzi pulled out a piece of naan from his bosom and handed it over.

His tone became quite ingratiating: "Mealtime is coming soon, I'm afraid the elder princess and the kids won't have enough to eat, this piece is for you."

After Xiang Ying took it, he hurriedly left.

But Xiang Ying pinched the naan, it was hard and dry, how could she feed it to the children?

Shortly after, the gong was struck outside, soldiers shouted: "Mealtime!"

Tao Xue quickly went to get the food as a representative.

What she brought back were only four bowls of rice soup, with so few grains of rice in each that they could be counted on one hand.

Is this called rice soup? This is just water!

Besides being hot, it couldn't be called a meal at all.

Tao Xue said with difficulty: "This is already very good, I went early and even got half a naan, those who went later didn't get any."

As they talked, the people around them who had been hungry all day started eating voraciously, without any complaints or pickiness, their slurping noises filled the air.

Xiang Ying pulled Tao Xue in front of the three children and, from her sleeve like pulling a magic trick, produced a thin pancake.

Soft and delicate, she tore it into strips and placed them piece by piece into the children and Tao Xue's bowls, quickly sprinkling some salt.

She also took out a few slices of Yun Ham from her space, letting them put it at the bottom of their bowls to eat.

When she took out four boiled eggs, Tao Xue and the children's eyes widened.

This time Tao Xue didn't ask and instinctively looked towards Xiang Ying's chest.

Their elder princess could really stash things away!

Xiang Ying gently tapped Tao Xue's forehead: "What are you looking at, this was hidden underneath when Huang Huzi gave me the naan."

Tao Xue, covering her forehead, suddenly realized: "No wonder."

The children couldn't hold back any longer and turned around to tuck in heartily.

The tenderness of Yun Ham, coupled with the peppery salty flavor, the soaked thin pancake in rice soup – upon a single bite, their mouths filled with the fragrance of sesame.

Lastly, having a boiled egg made their little tummies round and fully satisfied.

Xiang Ying didn't treat herself poorly either, in addition to soaking the pancake in the rice soup, she quietly ate a lamb burger and nibbled on a chicken leg.

Spoil the children with scarcity but treat oneself with abundance, as a mother she also needed to grow.

Mainly because if she took out anything else, it would've been hard to explain.

But Xiang Ying always felt this wasn't a solution.

Right now she could pretend to sneak snacks, but what about later? There were still many delicious items in her space that had no opportunity to be enjoyed.

She needed to find a way to enjoy fine food openly without arousing suspicion.

Xiang Ying took a damp cloth from her space and carefully wiped the faces and hands of the three little ones.

Just then, a fragrant scent drifted in from outside.

The people next to her suddenly straightened up, discussing amongst themselves: "It's meat soup, it smells so good!"

"They're cooking meat, seems like pig bones," said the Military Supervisor.

Everyone was dying of craving, except for Xiang Ying's family.

The three children huddled together whispering, Xiang Yuanshuo said, "We're all full."

Xiang Xiuxiu chimed in, "It's not fragrant at all, definitely not as delicious as what mom gave us."

Xiang Yuanlang was just about to nod his head when his little face suddenly turned serious, shaking his head at his sister.

They had agreed not to call her mom!

Xiang Xiuxiu, with her hand over her mouth, smiled embarrassedly.

Xiang Ying watched the three little ones sneak glances at her and said nothing.

She wouldn't mind it with kids.

As the night grew deeper, everyone exhausted from the day's toil, fell asleep, and the air was filled with snoring.

Xiang Ying and Tao Xue slept with the three children sandwiched between them.

A tall figure, using the darkness for cover, walked into the stable, his footsteps silent, heading straight for the three children.

In the dim moonlight, the three little ones were holding hands, sleeping soundly.

His cold gaze shifted to Xiang Ying's face; she too had fallen asleep.

His eyes flickered with a hint of murderous intent as his hand slowly reached into his sleeve.
