Chapter 361 Comfort
As expected, Yang Ganniang agreed without any hesitation this time. "I am willing to lead the way for you, the princess."
Her eyes were determined, and every wrinkle on her face seemed to be filled with determination.
Chu Ci smiled slightly and said softly, "Then I'll have to trouble Ganniang Yang. If we can find a proper way to place those children, it will be a great deed for Ganniang Yang."
Yang Ganniang bowed and said sincerely, "It's all because of the princess's kindness. It's a blessing for those children to have the princess' help. As a common woman, I just hope day and night that the children can have a good home."
"Hey! Our goal is the same! What are you still standing there for? Let's go and march towards the ruined temple!" Chu Ci shouted excitedly, her eyes were full of impatience and her whole body was filled with passionate enthusiasm.
Seeing this, others were also infected by Chu Ci's excitement.
Although they did not shout slogans like Chu Ci, their pace had obviously quickened a lot.
There was a hint of anxiety and anticipation in their expressions, as if they were about to complete an important and sacred mission.
A group of people marched towards the ruined temple in a gorgeously decorated carriage.
Tingzhou was not rich to begin with, and those who could afford to ride in a carriage were either high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen, or some people with ulterior motives who tried to gain benefits through improper means.
Therefore, this scene really scared Ergouzi and others in the dilapidated temple.
"Hurry, everyone hide in the cellar, quickly!" Er Gouzi shouted in panic, his face full of fear, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead, and his voice trembling with extreme fear.
Therefore, Yang Ganniang’s voice was not heard.
The children actually ran faster because of the sound.
Yang Gan Niang in the carriage was both relieved and anxious. Helplessly, she turned to Chu Ci in the carriage and said, "Princess, what should we do?"
"The children were terrified. They were used to suffering and bullying, and they were like frightened birds at the slightest sign of trouble."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ci frowned slightly, and a solemn look appeared on her jade-like face.
She paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then asked sternly, "Is there anyone in Tingzhou forcing good people into slavery? Do the people in the county government not know about it, or do they not care?"
Chu Ci's eyes revealed majesty and anger, which were like lightning in a cold night, sharp and cold. His voice was like a thousand-year-old ice, so cold that it seemed to condense the air around him, making people shudder.

Seeing this, Yang Ganniang shuddered and quickly replied, "Princess, please calm down. I only know a little bit about this."
"I heard that some unscrupulous merchants secretly colluded with bad people to force good people into slavery."
"The county government may not be ignoring the matter, but they just haven't found out the truth yet." Yang Ganniang had a terrified look on her face, and her voice trembled when she spoke.
Chu Ci snorted coldly, staring at Yang Ganniang fiercely, and said, "You know a little? Yang Ganniang, this matter is very serious. If you know more, you must tell the truth. This princess will make the decision for the people. If you conceal anything, don't blame this princess for being ruthless."
Chu Ci clenched his hands, spoke in a firm tone, and exuded an irresistible aura.
Chu Ci just said it casually, but he didn't expect that Yang Gan Niang knelt down with a plop, her expression extremely frightened, and she said tremblingly: "Yes, Landlord Cui, the richest man in Tingzhou."
"Check it out immediately!" Chu Ci's expression did not change when he heard it, and he did not say whether he believed it or not. He just gave the order to the void with a sharp look in his eyes.
Now not only Ganniang Yang, but also Nanny Zhang and Jiang Li were so frightened that they dared not even breathe.
Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a moment, and Chu Ci returned to his usual kindness.
A gentle smile reappeared on her face, and the fierceness in her eyes turned into warmth. She said to Yang Ganniang who was kneeling below her: "Yang Ganniang, get up quickly. I'm not angry with you."
"It's the evil people who have lost all conscience and forced the innocent people into slavery. You are already a great help by telling me this. Please get up quickly."
Yang Ganniang raised her head, tears in her eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Thank you, Princess, for your insight!"
As she spoke, Ganniang Yang stood up tremblingly.
Seeing this, Chu Ci did not let her get in the car.
Instead, he frowned slightly and said solemnly, "You go in first and comfort the children. They were frightened just now and must be very scared now. You must comfort them and don't let them be frightened."

Ganniang Yang nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I will do my best and will not let the children worry anymore." After saying that, she hurriedly turned around and walked towards the dilapidated temple.
Entering the dilapidated temple, Yang Ganniang walked through the dim corners as if she was familiar with the place, came to a secluded place, and found the cellar where Ergouzi and the others were hiding.
She bent down and called softly, "Don't be afraid, children. I am Yang Gan Niang."
"Those carriages outside belong to the county magistrate's wife. She's a good person and she's here to help you!"
"You don't have to hide anymore, come out now."
Even so, after a long time, Er Gouzi's sobbing voice came from the cellar: "Mother Yang, is it really like this? We really don't dare to go out. What if he is not a good person?"
Another child also said timidly: "Yes, Aunt Yang, we are full of fear."
Yang Ganniang patiently advised: "Children, please believe me this time. The county magistrate's wife is here to help us sincerely."
"If you keep hiding in this cellar, how can you get help and live a comfortable life?"
After a long while, Er Gouzi finally whispered, "Then...then let's go out."
A group of children then slowly crawled out of the cellar, their faces still filled with panic.
Mother Yang said softly, "Children, don't be afraid, follow me."
Er Gouzi grabbed the corner of Yang Ganniang's clothes tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Yang Ganniang, I'm scared."
Godmother Yang gently patted Er Gouzi's hand and comforted him, "Good boy, Godmother is here."
Maybe it was Ganniang Yang's comfort that worked, or maybe it was the thought of living a good life that took over the cold.
In short, after a fierce inner struggle, they finally followed Yang Ganniang closely and walked out of the dark and damp dilapidated temple carefully.
