Chapter 33 I have always been generous to those who are loyal to me!

Liu Laohu returned quickly, and Liu Yan immediately reminded him about the spoils of war!

"Take it, take as much as you want, it's all yours!"

The woman who had pulled down her underwear's panties had a sudden flash of light; her face lit up with pure joy. She dashed off into the largest and most luxurious room!

Shen Lanxi looked at Liu Laohu: "Aren't you going?"

Liu Laohu: "I am an official, I cannot break the law!"

Shen Lanxi: If Nu Bai hadn't broadcast it, she would have believed it!

Liu Yan respectfully presented the ring, gold crown, and jade hairpin to Shen Lanxi: "Young Master, this is..."

"It's yours!"

Liu Yan blinked: He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Shen Lanxi: "I've always been generous to those who are loyal to me!"

Liu Yan was startled, a surge of joy welling up inside her. Did this mean she trusted him?

"You don't need to return the clothes and shoes!"

Uh, Liu Yan looked down at her dirty clothes and shoes, too embarrassed to lift her head.

If this hadn't happened during his exile, he would have definitely thought that they were disgusted by the fact that he wore dirty clothes and were trying to humiliate him, which was why they refused to accept them.

Keep in mind, this is the road to exile! A few coins can save a life. The gold-embroidered brocade he wears is worth a hundred gold coins a single piece. If he were to pawn it, he could get at least a hundred taels. That would be enough for his family to comfortably reach Dongchuan and establish a stable life there.

If this is considered humiliation, then let this humiliation come even more fiercely!

Watching Liu Yanhui float away, Shen Lanxi remained calm and methodically directed the people around her to seize the opportunity to make a fortune.

Everyone else is busy working, but they're just standing here without moving. Why are they so aloof?

Shen Lanxi also picked some up. She chose dried vegetables hanging under the eaves, salted vegetables drying on the windowsill, as well as edible grains and water!

Soon, someone noticed her and, seeing her constantly taking food, immediately scoffed, saying she didn't know what she was missing. A moment later, those who laughed at her for not knowing what they were missing realized their mistake and hurriedly started rummaging through the food!

Damn it, that Young Master Lan is really shrewd! There's a severe drought outside right now; even if you find some money, you might not be able to buy food!

In a short time, many people began to join the ranks of those who turned over water to eat.

Liu Laohu drove all the women and children of Black Wind Village into the courtyard. Some of these people were dressed in gold and silver, while others had bruises all over their bodies and faces. Their social statuses were worlds apart.

With Liu Laohu's tacit approval, the women who were wearing gold and silver had all their gold and silver stripped off and were beaten up.

"Young Master Lan, what should we do with these people?" Liu Laohu asked Shen Lanxi for her opinion.

Shen Lanxi: "Women and children are innocent. After we leave, give everyone some food and let's escape for our lives!"

Liu Laohu: "That's a great idea!"

The constables were already used to Liu Laohu's constant questioning of Young Master Lan. In today's world, whoever feeds you is your mother, and whoever has money is your father. If Young Master Lan has made them money, then he's even closer than their own father.

They'd risk their lives to save their own father if he got into trouble, let alone someone even closer than their own father. But the eldest brother was just asking a few questions; they were all blind and deaf, they didn't hear or see a thing!

Shen Lanxi: "We didn't get a good rest last night. I suggest we rest at Black Wind Village for two days, eat and drink our fill, and then continue our journey!"

That's exactly what Liu Laohu was thinking too!

"What you say makes perfect sense, young master!"

Shen Lanxi raised an eyebrow: "Then I'll go rest. Brother Liu is an official, the highest-ranking officer here. I'll leave the Black Wind Stronghold matter to you!"

Liu Laohu replied with a straight posture, "Of course, young master, you should go and rest!"

Shen Lanxi asked Chunxue and Qiushuang to prepare a room that she could live in. The two maids were very helpful. They picked the cleanest room, threw all the bedding and utensils out the door, and replaced them with things that Shen Lanxi was used to.

"Spring Snow and Autumn Frost, you should all go and rest too. The village is safe now. I'm going to have a very deep sleep, so don't let anyone disturb me or call me. I'll come out when I wake up!"

After the two left, she immediately locked the door and went into her private space.

The space is filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, and the air is fresh. The three-meter by two-eight-meter Dreams bed is better than any earthen bed that someone may not have slept on.

On the other side

"It's already dawn, and we still don't know what's going on at Black Wind Stronghold?" The constables huddled together, discussing among themselves.

Shen Congwen and his wife were extremely anxious, especially Zhou Xinrou. Her child had fallen into a den of wolves and tigers. If Shen Congwen hadn't stopped her, she definitely would have chased after them last night.

"Master, please let's go to Black Wind Stronghold! I beg you!" Zhou Xinrou had never begged anyone so humbly before!

Old Madam Shen had guessed that she would do this, and had been keeping an eye on her since last night.

Unexpectedly, she actually dared to encourage her son to go to his death. Old Madam Shen immediately turned dark and angrily scolded, "Zhou, yesterday you couldn't control your children, but I didn't say anything because you were just recovering. Today you're encouraging my son to go to Black Wind Village to die. What are you up to? Do you want to kill everyone in the Shen family before you're satisfied?"

Zhou Xinrou stared at her mother-in-law in disbelief, never expecting her to say such a thing. Yes, she was no longer Princess Minrou, so Old Madam Shen no longer needed to feign politeness with her. All the praise she had received before was simply because of her royal status.

Now she's just a criminal, and those who used to fawn over her must now be kicking her to get revenge for their past subservience!

Seeing his wife's cold and dark expression, Shen Congwen frowned and said, "Mother, Xinrou didn't mean that. She's worried about the child!"

Old Madam Shen's face darkened: "She's worried about her child, but I'm worried about mine! Congwen, if something happens to you, do you want your mother, an old woman, to bury her young son?"

Shen Congwen: "Mother, they are my children too!"

Seeing her son like this, Madam Shen assumed he was wholeheartedly protecting Zhou Xinrou, so she immediately closed her eyes and leaned to one side.

"Mother……"

Exclamations of surprise rang out instantly.

Shen Conglian and his brothers hurriedly approached and immediately began to criticize Shen Congwen.

"Brother, how could you be so disobedient and unfilial, making Mother faint from anger?"

"Brother, you call yourself a scholar! Mother only said a few words to you because she cares about you. How could you anger her like that? You want to kill her!"

The accusations were like a condemnation, and even if Shen Congwen had the intention to go to Black Wind Stronghold to investigate, it had long been overwhelmed by the condemnation.

It wasn't until noon that the constables arrived on horseback from Black Wind Stronghold.

"Brothers, get in the car, dinner will be served soon!" the constables called out to the men as they boarded the vehicle.

After the constables went up, just as the Shen family was about to help Old Master Shen and Old Madam Shen up, a whip lashed out and almost hit Old Madam Shen, who was about to get into the carriage.

Startled, Old Madam Shen fell backward. If her children and grandchildren hadn't been there to catch her, she would have definitely fallen to the ground!
