Chapter 131: He feels colder.

Chen Fenghe found it both funny and helpless to see the three little guys were so scared that their faces turned pale and they were trembling.

She did not tell the three of them about Xiao Yunshuo's affairs, mainly because she was afraid that although they were more sensible than other children of the same age, they were still young after all, and might let the cat out of the bag if they were bullied by adults. Therefore, it was better not to let them know.

Although Xiao Yunhao had recognized them before, this time Xiao Yunshuo and Yuan Xu had changed their appearances and both had pockmarks on their faces, so the three little guys didn't recognize them.

Chen Fenghe patted their heads and said, "Don't be afraid. With sister and mother here, nothing will happen."

After dinner, Yuan Xun happened to come knocking on the door again and brought the money for selling wolf meat.

Compared with the last time, the price this time was almost doubled. One wolf cost six taels of silver. The shopkeeper kept five hundred coins as a reward for everyone, and the remaining five taels and five hundred coins were divided into four and six. The one that went to Chen Fenghe was three taels and three hundred coins for each wolf.

There were twelve wolves in total, so the total income was thirty-nine taels and six hundred coins, which was close to forty taels of silver!

Yuan Xun said, "Mr. Yun said that the money from selling the wolves doesn't need to be divided among them. So, the money from the twelve wolves will be split 40% to 60% between us."

Chen Fenghe took the heavy silver bag and, without even opening it to count the money inside, said, "Thank you, Mr. Yuan. There is one more thing I would like to ask for your leniency."

Seeing that she remained calm even after receiving forty taels of silver, Yuan Xun couldn't help but admire her, but also felt a little ashamed of himself.

Although she was the deposed Crown Princess and an exiled prisoner, her status and situation were already lower than his.

But in front of Shen Fenghe, he still felt that he was not worthy of her...

Suddenly thinking of Yuan Xu's words that day, Yuan Xun couldn't help but be stunned.

Seeing him staring at her in a daze, Shen Fenghe had no choice but to speak again: "Master Yuan?"

Yuan Xun suddenly came back to his senses and said quickly: "Miss Shen, if you have any instructions, please tell me."

Chen Fenghe said, "Winter is here, and the further north we go, the heavier the wind and snow will be. My family has three kids and a cart, and it's really too tiring for Brother Zhang to help push it. So, I'm thinking about using this money to buy another cart and one or two mules to pull it. That way, it will be easier."

After hearing this, Yuan Xun said, "I'll go ask the chief. We were just discussing whether we should buy two carts and some animals. If we kill so many wolves at once like this time, it will be easier to transport them. When the time comes, you can tell everyone that the mule carts you bought were bought by us officials, and no one will be able to say anything."

Chen Fenghe didn't expect it to be so smooth. After all, where could a prisoner be exiled and taken to exile in a cart pulled by a mule?

It seems that these officials trust her enough.

Chen Fenghe bowed and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, Mr. Yuan."

Yuan Xun blushed and stammered, "Nothing... nothing. We're just about to go out to buy some supplies, so Miss Shen can come with us."

Shen Fenghe naturally agreed.

She went back and told Qin Mengyue, and handed another twenty taels of silver to Qin Mengyue, and then went out with the remaining twenty taels of silver.

As soon as they arrived at the door of the inn, they saw Xiao Yunshuo and Yuan Xu standing together with Yuan Xun and several other officials, as well as a few other exiled prisoners who were going out to buy things.

Yuan Xun's face was sour and he looked unhappy.

Seeing Chen Fenghe coming down, Xiao Yunshuo glanced at her with a faint look in his eyes without saying a word.

Chen Fenghe greeted him, "Mr. Yun."

Xiao Yunshuo still did not answer, but just nodded lightly.

Chen Fenghe: “…”

Why does she feel that... ever since Xiao Yunshuo regained his memory, his personality has become aloof and unpredictable?

At least now, she felt as if he was angry, but... his emotions and anger were hidden just right, and ordinary people really couldn't tell.

Even when he lost his memory before, he was like a little wolfdog, secretly following them, catching pheasants and sables for them, and even running to the village alone to save her. How adorable...

Now... he has turned into a wolf, silent and taciturn, with an intimidating aura around him.

However, Shen Fenghe didn't care too much.

It’s okay to be a little cool, at least it can reduce a lot of unnecessary contact and conversation.

The group soon arrived at the market where livestock were sold.

The market was no different from other streets in Qizhou City. There were only a few scattered merchants and buyers, and even the horses and mules for sale looked listless.

Chen Fenghe immediately fell in love with a chestnut-colored horse. It was obviously a Ferghana horse from the Western Regions. However, the person who sold the horse obviously didn't know the value of it. He probably fed it with low-quality feed, so the horse looked skinny and bony, as if it had to gasp for breath after walking a few steps.

Chen Fenghe was so greedy that she couldn't take her eyes away. Unfortunately, she was now an exiled prisoner. She could get away with buying a mule, but buying a horse would be too ostentatious.

Xiao Yunshuo and Yuan Xu naturally noticed the horse immediately. Yuan Xu whispered to Xiao Yunshuo, "Sir, this is a good horse. I'm afraid it may have been a war horse. I don't know how it ended up in this state..."

Xiao Yunshuo nodded and glanced at Chen Fenghe out of the corner of his eye.

Does she even know about horses?

From the moment she came in, her eyes were glued to the horse and never left...

“Miss Shen, there are mules for sale here…” Yuan Xun shouted.

Shen Fenghe reluctantly looked away and said, "Here I come!"

She was about to turn around and leave when a buyer approached the horse seller and asked, "Boss, how much do you want for this horse?"

The horse seller heard this and immediately said, "This is a fine horse! A Ferghana horse from the Western Regions! It can pull and carry, and it only costs twenty taels!"

"Twenty taels? Why don't you just rob it? This horse is pale and skinny, maybe even sick? You have the nerve to call it a Ferghana horse? I'm not buying it!"

After hearing this, the man who wanted to buy the horse immediately turned away.

Seeing this, the horse seller quickly stopped him and said, "Sir, wait a minute! If you think it's too expensive, we can discuss it later. Why are you in such a hurry? Give me a price..."

The horse buyer stopped and thought for a moment before saying, "Ten taels at most."

The horse seller couldn't help but look embarrassed when he heard this: "Sir, please give me some more, give me some more! If it weren't for the shortage of food and grass in the city, I really wouldn't be willing to sell it..."

The buyer looked around the seller and then reluctantly said, "I'm not buying this horse to pull a cart or carry goods. I'm going to kill it for the meat. Since it's big, I'll add two or twelve taels to the price! If not, forget it."
