She patted Doudou’s head tenderly and said, “Be good. Then I’ll find you a home in the future.’

She first brought Doudou back to the manor and asked the manor doctor to treat him.

When the Jian family heard about Doudou’s incident, their hearts ached. Xiao Hu and the rest took him out to play.

Jian Qingqing sat in the study and thought for a long time before writing a few words on the paper.

The next day, she went to the palace to see the Emperor early in the morning.

“Your Majesty, I discovered that there are many homeless children in the Capital. After careful questioning, I discovered that they are actually the descendants of the soldiers who have already sacrificed themselves.”

The Emperor frowned. “There’s such a thing?”

He stayed in the palace all year round, so he naturally did not know about this matter. The officials below would not take this situation to heart. If they were to wait for them to report, then the situation would definitely be very serious. Jian Qingqing nodded. “These days, there are more children begging on the streets than before.

“But didn’t I ask the officials to take care of the families of the soldiers who

sacrificed themselves?” The Emperor asked doubtfully. “They are all heroes of

Great Wei. Could it be that someone actually dares to disobey them?”

At the end of his sentence, his tone began to sound a little angry.

Jian Qingqing shook her head and said, “No. Your Majesty is very considerate. However, some families are more complicated. I saved Doudou. His family only had his father and mother. After his father died, his mother remarried with the compensation money. Doudou naturally had no home to return to.”

“In some families, after the pillar of the family died in battle, the orphans and widows would be bullied by other relatives. It’s also common for their pension to be taken away.”

The Emperor slammed the table heavily and said angrily, “How preposterous! Who dares to bully the families of the heroes of Great Wei! See if I don’t chop off their heads!”

Looking at the angry Emperor, Jian Qingqing comforted him, “Your Majesty, please calm down. I knew that Your Majesty wouldn’t just ignore it. With you around, Great Wei will definitely rise to the next level. We just need to find a solution.”

The Emperor looked at Jian Qingqing who was sucking up to him and felt that it was a little funny. He asked, “Princess Ding’an, do you have any good ideas?”

He knew that Jian Qingqing must have had some ideas before she came to find him. They had known each other for several years, but he had never seen a few officials as reliable as Jian Qingqing.

“I do have some ideas, but in the end, it’s still up to His Majesty to make a decision,” said Jian Qingqing with a smile.

The Emperor’s interest was piqued. “Tell me, if you say it well, I will reward you!”

Jian Qingqing said, “For those women who want to remarry, if she doesn’t bring the children she gave birth to before marrying over, I feel that under the witness of the government, she can only take half of the pension at most. The rest can be used for the remaining children to live.”

“Why do you still let them take half?” the Emperor asked. “I feel that we should not give them a single cent!”

Jian Qingqing explained, “Women have a harder life in this world. If they want to get married, they may have no choice. Before the food was sacrificed, they also worked hard for this family. So, it is necessary to give her some money, but the children who were left behind have to survive.

The Emperor thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. “That’s true. Then let her take a portion of it, but this money has to be divided with the families of the soldiers. If the soldiers who died have parents and two children, then the money will be divided into five portions. She can only take one portion..”
