Chapter 8: Unfilial Behavior Will Be Struck by Thunder

Su Nuan remained calm. She pulled out a handful of herbs she had gathered from the roadside from her sleeve and said, "I know medicine. My grandfather was once an imperial physician."

Sure enough, this news made the captain's face show surprise, "You really know medicine?"

Su Nuan also understood that if she didn't show off her skills, he wouldn't look at her differently.

So Su Nuan pointed at the plump official and said, "He is weak and has no children. I have a prescription. If you take it for half a year, it will make the women in the mansion pregnant and give birth to children."

The fat white official's face flushed, but he was a little excited. "Really?"

He had only one daughter and desperately wanted a son.

The captain said doubtfully, "I can't spend half a year to verify whether what you said is true."

Su Nuan replied, "I can give him a prescription. If he takes it today, he will be as powerful as a tiger. You can ask him tomorrow and he will know."

The captain scoffed, clearly unconvinced, "Tiger and wolf medicine will only hurt people."

However, the official could not help but said, "Write this down. If your medicine works, I will give you a donkey cart tomorrow."

The captain couldn't help but say coldly, "This is the person I'm escorting."

The official was not afraid of him. He glared at him and said, "I'll have a drink with your father some other day and chat with your wife about family matters."

The captain was instantly discouraged and said with a forced smile, "Okay, okay, my father-in-law has the final say."

It turns out that the two are father-in-law and son-in-law, which is even better. The captain won't have to embarrass himself.

Su Nuan went to the table next to her, took a pen and paper, wrote the prescription, and handed it to the official.

The official had obviously taken a lot of medicine and could understand the prescription. He asked doubtfully, "This medicine is not strong enough to kill tigers and wolves. Will it really work?"

Su Nuan nodded, "We'll see tomorrow."

The officer looked at the captain and said, "Go and remove their shackles, and find a room for them to rest."

The captain said nothing, got up and walked out.

The official added, "Remember to give that pearl to my daughter."

The captain replied helplessly: "I know. How dare you refuse? A tiger father will have a dog daughter."

Su Nuan almost laughed out loud. This was saying that his wife was a tigress.

Arriving at the courtyard, the captain said, "My name is Cheng Feng. Call me Captain Cheng from now on. I have a superior above me, and I have to listen to that grandson."

"Also, he's not as easy to talk to as I am. Don't even think about bribing him. It'll only leave you with nothing."

Su Nuan understood immediately that as long as this boss was gone, she would be able to live a prosperous life in the days to come.

So she whispered back, "Not only prisoners die on the road to exile, but also officials and soldiers. He might just die one day. You have the final say on this journey."

Cheng Feng glanced at Su Nuan, "Do you have a solution? I can't interfere."

Su Nuan nodded, "Yes."

Cheng Feng pondered for a moment and nodded, "As long as you can do it, I will protect you all the way."

Su Nuan was not surprised. The emperor was cruel, so there was open and covert fighting among officials.

The superior was called Qin Shou, a fifth-rank official who was greedy for money and lustful.

In the previous life, my mother-in-law and uncle protected me, otherwise I would have been in trouble. So killing him can kill two birds with one stone, eliminating the trouble and getting Cheng Feng's protection.

In Su Nuan's eyes, the escort soldiers were not the ones who disciplined them, but the ones who protected them and helped them reach the north safely.

Therefore, I tried my best to build a good relationship with Cheng Feng while traveling north, so that the exile could be regarded as a trip to enjoy the scenery.

Su Nuan returned to Xue in a good mood, and soon someone came to open their shackles.

Suddenly, someone whispered, "The young widow must have gone to seduce the official. Her hair is not the same as when she went out. Maybe she slept with the official."

They all thought Ling Cang was dead, so they automatically upgraded Su Nuan to a widow.

Another person echoed, "That's right, otherwise why are only their shackles opened and ours not?"

Su Nuan turned her head and looked over. She saw a round-faced old woman and a thin-faced daughter-in-law. She didn't pay attention to these people in her previous life so she didn't recognize them.

She said with a smug look on her face, "I see you're not bad looking either. Why don't you go and sleep with the official? Maybe you won't be shackled along the way, and you might even get a ride in a donkey cart."

The round-faced woman raised her finger and pointed at Su Nuan's nose, saying "you, you, you" for a long time without saying a complete sentence.

The pointed-faced woman said, "Bah, how shameless."

Su Nuan raised her foot and shook it, "If you have the dignity to do this, then you can wear it for the rest of your life. I feel so relaxed."

The pointed-faced woman was so angry that her face turned blue, but she didn't dare to say anything, because no matter what she said, it would not make the other person feel uncomfortable, but would make her angry to death.

When the round-faced woman saw Xue coming over, she immediately said, "Xue, your little widow has no sense of shame. She must have gone out with someone else."

Xue walked up to Su Nuan with a gloomy expression.

Su Nuan's heart trembled. Would her mother-in-law dislike her?

However, Xue was a ruthless man who didn't say much. He slapped the round-faced woman twice, making her scream.

Then Xue turned around and raised her chin to Su Nuan, "Did you see that? Learn from this. Don't talk too much to people who spew shit like this. Just beat them up."

After Su Nuan felt shocked, she was filled with warmth. Her mother-in-law still protected her unconditionally, just like in her previous life.

She nodded obediently, "Yeah, I'll do it next time."

Xue secretly clenched her fist and rubbed her palm with her fingertips, feeling a little painful.

She smiled and said, "Let's go. The official just assigned us a room. Let's go in and rest."

"Okay, Mom, let's go." Su Nuan and Xue left affectionately.

The round-faced woman slapped the pointed-faced woman twice and said, "You little bitch, it's all your fault for talking too much."

The pointed-faced woman felt aggrieved and dared not retort. She could only glare at Su Nuan's back.

Su Nuan felt the malicious gazes behind her, and she said proudly and loudly: "Oh, this room is nice, we can have a good sleep."

The pointed-faced woman stamped her feet in anger, but she was helpless. She didn't dare to ask the official for a house.

However, as soon as Su Nuan and Xue entered the house, they were pushed away. Several people walked past them and entered the house first. They found a place to sit down, took off their shoes, and rubbed their feet.

Xue was furious and said angrily, "Uncle, this is our house. Why did you bring these men in?"

Old Man Ling snorted, "We were exiled because of your family's involvement. Why should you be able to live in this house?"

"Besides, I am your elder, so you must obey me, otherwise you will be struck by lightning."

Su Nuan asked curiously, "Mom, is this person related to us by blood?"

Xue nodded, "He's your father-in-law's cousin."

Su Nuan chuckled, "I don't know him. If you're going to be struck by lightning, then let it strike me."

Xue looked at her suspiciously, not knowing what she was going to do.

Su Nuan walked slowly towards the man closest to her, who was looking at her with obscene eyes.

She asked, "What's this person's name?"

The man smiled lewdly and said, "You have to call me cousin."

Su Nuan sneered, "But my cousin has been dead for several years, and the grass on his grave is taller than yours. Since you like being my cousin so much, then you should stay with him."

After saying that, she grabbed the man's arm and threw him left and right like a sandbag...

The people in the room followed the man, up... down... up... down...

After he fell seven or eight times, Su Nuan dragged the man to the door and kicked him away.

She turned around and stared at those people, "You want to try it too?"

Who would dare to stay now? To be a punching bag?

Old man Ling didn't even put on his shoes and just ran away.

The people outside who were eager to enter the house immediately gave up after seeing the people being kicked out.

Su Nuan, holding her shoes, came to the door and shouted, "Stop! Did I let you go?"
