Traveling through time and encountering war, I took the whole village to escape famine

Chapter 355 If you miss it, it will be a lifetime

"Dad, they are just a few beggars. I must drive them all out of the capital! Humph!" Yu Pingting raised her eyebrows, pouted her cherry lips, and snorted arrogantly.

Yu Desheng frowned slightly and gently scolded: "Pingting, don't be so rude! They are all poor children."

When Yu Pingting heard this, her eyes instantly turned red and tears welled up in her eyes. She said with a bit of coquettishness and anger: "Dad, you actually came to be so mean to others just for a group of dirty little beggars. Woo woo woo... Your daughter is so sad!" After saying that, she pretended to sob.

Seeing this, Yu Desheng quickly reached out and gently patted Yu Pingting on the back, and comforted her softly: "Ting'er, don't cry, don't cry, daddy is here, how could he let my precious daughter suffer the slightest grievance?"

After coaxing his daughter, he turned to look at the graceful Cheng Shiyin standing beside him, and explained with a smile: "Miss Cheng, please forgive me for making fun of you. My daughter has been spoiled by me since she was a child, so she is a little spoiled, but in fact, she is very kind-hearted."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shiyin smiled slightly, and her smile was as charming as the peach blossoms blooming in spring. She responded in a clear, pleasant and neither humble nor arrogant voice: "Lord Yu, you are too kind. Since Miss Yu is so kind, can you please spare these little brothers, brothers and sisters? After all, if they are really driven out of the capital, it will be extremely difficult for them to survive, and they may even lose their lives."

"Miss Cheng, you misunderstood me. They are just poor children. How could I put them to death? What I said to you was just out of anger."

Yu Desheng looked at Yu Pingting again and said, "Ting'er, didn't you already tell me when you came here? You see, these children are so poor, they don't have enough food and clothing. I want to send them to the farm outside the Yu family. You have hired a teacher there to teach them a skill, so that they can earn a living with their own ability in the future.

"Dad, when did I..." Yu Pingting saw her father's warning look and changed the subject: "That's right, Cheng Shiyin, you are allowed to send them food and clothes every now and then, but you are not allowed to do some good deeds as well?"

"Yu Pingting, can you really be so kind?"

"Cheng Shiyin, those are just small favors from you. I have found a way out for them in the future. Why don't you come over and follow me?" Yu Pingting said arrogantly.

Seeing the little beggars hesitate, Yu Desheng persuaded them: "When you get there, I will ask a teacher to teach you how to read, do accounting, and do carpentry. You can also learn to build houses from a craftsman. If you have good qualifications, I can also send you to a private school to take the imperial examination."

"I won't go with you! We all want to stay here. Sister Cheng said she will send us to the technical school founded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" A slightly thin little beggar ran behind Cheng Shiyin. He grabbed the corner of Cheng Shiyin's clothes tightly, his big eyes full of timidity, but his tone was firm.

"Yeah, I won't go either!" another child shouted.

"I won't go either!" Several other children echoed and quickly walked to Cheng Shiyin's side.

At this time, even Jun Ruhao, who was a little hesitant at first, no longer wavered in his thoughts after seeing his friends were so determined. He raised his leg and was about to walk towards Cheng Shiyin and the others.

However, Yu Desheng, who had been watching all this coldly, suddenly fixed his eyes on Jun Ruhao. He stared at Jun Ruhao sharply and said slowly: "Boy, I know you. Following me is your only way out. Don't dream of entering the school established by the prince. Not everyone can enter that school. Before admission, your background must be strictly checked. Only those who meet specific conditions can enter smoothly. In my opinion, with your identity and background, it will be difficult to pass the inspection. But as long as you follow me obediently, considering that I am familiar with your mother, I will find a way to send you to your grandparents' home and help you achieve your wish, so that you can get everything that should belong to you. How about it, isn't this a sure win for you?"

Jun Ruhao's mother was from the Wu clan in southern Xinjiang. In order to win over southern Xinjiang, Emperor Yongle allowed the then crown prince to marry the daughter of the Wu clan, the largest family in southern Xinjiang, as a concubine.

Hearing Yu Desheng's words, before Jun Ruhao could respond, the little girl at the side stepped forward, put her hands on her hips, glared at Yu Desheng angrily, and scolded in a delicate voice: "Lord Yu, my brother will not go with you! Who knows if you and your daughter have any good intentions? If you dare to deliberately make things difficult for my brother and others, I will go to my brother the prince and ask him to give justice to my brother and others!"

Yu Desheng stared at him sharply. Although there was a hint of threat in his eyes, the words he spoke sounded kind: "Have you thought it through?"

Jun Ruhao originally wanted to let go of the hatred deep in his heart for the sake of the little girl in front of him.

She was like a ray of warm sunshine, illuminating his dark world and becoming the last ray of light left in his heart.

He also knew that his current status was not worthy of this kind and beautiful girl. Therefore, he just wanted to stay by her side silently and protect her.

But Yu Desheng's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Jun Ruhao's heart hard, rekindling the fire of unwillingness in his heart which had already calmed down.

He knew very well in his heart that as the orphan of the former crown prince, he was destined to not be able to accompany her openly.

However, if he continues to live in obscurity and mediocrity, he will lose the chance to have her forever. Only by becoming stronger and taking back everything that once belonged to him can he realize his dream of being with her one day.

Then, Jun Ruhao slowly turned his head and looked at Cheng Shiyin affectionately. His eyes were full of gratitude and attachment, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance deeply into his heart.

He bowed deeply to Cheng Shiyin, his voice firm: "Miss Cheng, thank you for taking care of me these days. The Marquis and my mother are old acquaintances, and he will take me to my grandparents' home. It is in the south and the journey is long. Perhaps we will meet again in the future."

After saying this, Jun Ruhao stood up, turned resolutely and walked towards Yu Desheng, leaving behind only a lonely and resolute back.

Although Cheng Shiyin felt a little lonely, she was very happy that her little brother could find his relatives. She said to Jun Ruhao with a cheerful voice: "Little brother, since you have made up your mind, take care of yourself. If Yu Pingting dares to bully you, come to me, and I will ask the prince to help you vent your anger." Cheng Shiyin's beautiful little face was full of seriousness.

Jun Ruhao turned around with tears in his eyes: "Take care, Miss Cheng." After saying that, he silently said in his heart, "Shiyin, wait for me to come back to find you."

What Jun Ruhao didn't expect was that missing it would mean missing it for a lifetime.
