In her previous life, Shen Lianxi (沈斓曦) suffered a cruel fate. On her wedding night, her groom, Zhou Ruyu (周如渊), didn’t even enter their chamber. The next day, she discovered her nata...
Chapter 46: Concealing Merit and Fame!
Shen Lanxi started from the backyard, clearing it out bit by bit. She took everything usable, and nothing of value was left!
Adhering to the principle of not leaving a single thread or needle behind, Shen Lanxi collected everything in sight!
"Master, there is a hidden door in the study, and it is filled with gold and silver treasures!"
Please accept this!
"Master, there are two treasure boxes on the roof beam!"
"Master, there's a hidden compartment behind the dressing table!"
"Master, there's a lot of gold and silver in that room!"
Please accept them all!
"Master, there are many people guarding that courtyard, and there are many boxes in the courtyard, all filled with medicinal herbs!"
Shen Lanxi jumped onto the roof and took a look. The boxes were all labeled "tribute," meaning they were tributes offered to the imperial court!
With all that gold and silver, that guy surnamed Sun is no good either!
receive!
The contents of dozens of large boxes vanished in the blink of an eye!
After leaving the Sun residence, he flew to the medicine warehouse and emptied all the medicinal herbs inside.
After returning home, he knocked on Liu Yan's door.
"Pack your things, I'll see you off!"
Liu Yanhui was immediately jolted awake and quickly packed her things. In the blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at the city gate.
"Ready!"
Liu Yan looked puzzled: What are you preparing?
The next second, Shen Lanxi lifted Liu Yanhui into the air and leaped up. Liu Yanhui was so frightened that she first opened her eyes wide, then closed them tightly, and then covered her mouth with force!
She landed lightly: "Alright, after dawn, go with Liu Laohu and the others first, I'll be there shortly!"
Even after Shen Lanxi left, Liu Yanhui's legs were still too weak to get up.
If she were Qu Yanling and hadn't caught the person, she would immediately send people to guard the city gate and check passersby!
The Sun family is no exception!
I was originally planning to stay for three days, but now I have to leave a day early!
They changed inns, left a mark, and the next morning, the third senior brother knocked on the door.
"Xiao Jiu, why did you change locations?"
Shen Lanxi: "Something happened, I'll be leaving this afternoon!"
Yinzi handed her a whistle: "From now on, if you need anything, have Xiaoxue send me a message. It'll be faster that way!"
With the whistle hanging around her neck, she handed over the 1.5 million taels she had mentioned earlier, and then took out two pieces of paper!
"Senior brother, this one shows the location for storing grain, and the other one shows the location for storing charcoal. Build a large warehouse in these locations to store these things!"
Yinzi took the paper and glanced at it, then nodded and put it away!
“Junior sister…” Yinzi looked at her somewhat awkwardly.
Shen Lanxi rarely saw him like this: "Senior brother, just say what you have to say!"
Yinzi scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Should I go teach Zhou Ruyuan a lesson for you?"
Senior brother must know that you called for water three times in one night!
"Senior brother, we're not assassins, we can't just start fighting and killing all the time!"
Yinzi's eyes darkened. Did her junior sister still have feelings for Zhou Ruyuan? That scoundrel Zhou Ruyuan hurt her so much... How could her junior sister be so foolish!
"I heard he went to the northwest to defend against the enemy. If we're going to fight, we'll have to wait until we drive the foreign enemies out of the Great Zhou's territory before we start fighting!"
Yinzi: He always said that his junior sister's brain was the best!
"He may escape the death penalty, but he can't escape punishment. If he dared to do it, he should have the guts to bear the consequences!" Shen Lanxi's face curled into a cold smile.
Yinzi was startled. Seeing her junior sister's expression, she felt that this living punishment was even more unbearable than the death punishment.
"Senior brother, I have something to tell you..."
Yinzi's eyes widened little by little as she realized that her junior sister wanted Zhou Ruyuan to suffer a fate worse than death!
An hour later, the teahouse was packed!
"The Prince of Zhennan, Zhou Ruyuan, has a mistress who is incredibly lustful. On their wedding night, she clung to the prince and wouldn't even step into the bridal chamber, calling for water thirty times that night..."
Thirty times?
"We can believe it three times, but thirty times, isn't that a bit too much?"
"That's not too much, that's just empty..."
"That's not something that can be done in and out... hahaha"
Shen Lanxi waved with a bright smile, concealing her merits and fame!
We continued purchasing medicinal herbs, and on the way, we took a look at the city gate. Sure enough, it was heavily guarded!
Just before evening, just before the city gates were about to close, Shen Lanxi disguised herself as a woman going into the city to buy rice, and swaggered out of the city gate carrying the rice!
...
"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!" The cries of the Shen family members pleading for mercy echoed throughout the exile procession!
"Hmph, serves you right! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't need to wear shackles and chains, we wouldn't need to walk on two legs. It would be lenient if we didn't beat you to death!"
"Stop hitting him, or he'll kill someone."
"Please, please stop hitting me..."
Apart from the eldest son's wife, no one in the Shen family was spared; even Old Madam Shen's face was scratched all over by Madam Song.
Now they don't even get the privilege of being carried anymore. If any member of the Shen family tries to climb onto someone's back, the prisoners will bully them relentlessly.
After being beaten twice, Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen never dared to climb on their children and grandchildren again. They didn't even dare to raise their heads; to do so was to show defiance, and defiance would only result in more beatings!
Liu Yanhui sat in the carriage, glancing back every now and then. Each time she looked back, her body trembled.
Those who know are relatives, but those who don't might think the young master has a blood feud with his family.
"Young Master Liu, why hasn't Young Master Lan caught up yet?" Liu Laohu craned his neck and looked into the distance. There wasn't even a speck of dust, let alone a person!
Liu Yanhui turned her gaze back and said, "Young Master has gone to do business and won't be back for a while!"
Liu Laohu was worried about something else: "What if we encounter more refugees on the road?"
Liu Yan glanced worriedly at her mother and sister behind her, silently praying that the young master would finish processing the medicinal herbs in the warehouse as soon as possible.
Not long after Shen Lanxi left the city, she saw more than a dozen horses emerging from Anzhen with a menacing air, among them Qu Yanling.
After leaving Anzhen, she went to Fugui Village again.
When Wei Jiajun got into trouble, the people who knew the most about it were undoubtedly Wei Jiajun himself, who had personally experienced the accident.
When she arrived, Zhang Niu was changing the dressing of Wei Jiajun's young general, muttering to himself as he did so.
"The methods of Medicine King Valley are truly unfathomable. The young general has awakened in such a short time. He will surely recover soon!"
"Young General, don't rush to speak. Your throat has been burned by the fire, but the people from Medicine King Valley have left medicine. Your throat will be fully healed in less than a month!"
"They're from Medicine King Valley. Their appearance this time was too sudden. Could there be something fishy going on?"
Wei Dongzhu raised his finger and pointed to the people in the room, indicating a number with his finger. Immediately, someone understood.
"Young General, we have discovered traces of the Shen family in Anzhen. Xiao Mao and Ali have followed them."
Upon hearing the words "Shen family," Wei Dongzhu reacted violently. He struggled to get up and roared as if trying to speak, but he couldn't utter a single word. If it weren't for the bandages wrapped around his face, his face would definitely be contorted with hatred!
"Young General, don't worry, they can't escape."
"The Shen family is in a terrible state right now. They're like rats in the street; everyone wants to beat them up!"
With red eyes, several people hurriedly pushed Wei Dongzhu back down.
