Seeing that he could not get any benefit from her, Zhang Yu set his sights on Qin Yu.

Qin Xiao was soft-hearted and easy to control, otherwise he wouldn't have let Aunt Zhao ride on his head for so many years.

If the old princess hadn't stopped her, the power of housekeeper in the palace would have fallen into the hands of Aunt Zhao.

She walked beside Qin Ruo with tears in her eyes and whispered, "Sister-in-law, I don't know what I did to offend Ruoyi. She is so disrespectful to me. Not giving me food is fine. But if I don't have insoles to wear when walking on this road, what should I do?"

Qin Xiao looked at Shang Ruoyi in embarrassment. Seeing that she had no intention of intervening, she had to look away and looked at Zhang Xiao who was crying on the side. Just when she was about to take the few pairs of insoles that Shang Ruoyi had given her, she saw a pair of jade hands reaching out from the side and holding her down: "Mom, Aunt Xiao said that the road ahead is rugged, and we don't know how far we have to go. These insoles are not enough for us!"

He Yunyi leaned over to Qin Xiao's ear and whispered, "Have you forgotten how Aunt Xiao bullied you? She came to our palace all day to ask for money and even wanted to take your dowry. It's not worth it for such a person to offend your sister-in-law."

Qin 꿻 looked at his daughter in surprise. When did she start to talk so much? Moreover, he is so organized and sees things more clearly than her, his mother.

Zhang Xiao didn't hear what He Yunyi said to Qin Xiao, but it was definitely not something good.

Qin Xiao looked at her and said in a deep voice: "Yun Yi is right. We don't know how long we have to walk. I really can't give you this insole. Otherwise, go ask your third sister-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiao was immediately furious. He pointed at Qin Xiao and said loudly, "Qin Xiao, I respectfully call you sister-in-law, but your elder brother is about to be sent to the guillotine and your son is lame, and now you are still here to make trouble for me? I'm telling you, if you need anything from our family in the future, don't expect us to help you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zhang 꿻 say "Ouch".

A bullet hit the back of Zhang's outstretched hand.

The wound immediately turned black and blue.

"Who? Who hit me?" Zhang Xiao covered his injured hand and cried out in pain.

He Jingheng raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Shang Ruoyi who looked as if it had nothing to do with her, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

He put down the dead branch in his hand and continued to close his eyes and rest.

Not only did Zhang Xiao not get the insole, he also hurt his hand. When he returned to his seat, he looked at his daughter-in-law Qiao Yanxin who was silently eating a cake beside him and said, "Yanxin, can't you cook?"

Qiao Yanxin shook her head: "No."

"Hmph, look at you, you're not a lady from a rich family, you're from a humble family, how come you can't even cook?" Zhang Xiao rolled his eyes at her and said, "If you knew how to cook, you wouldn't have been robbed of all the limelight by Shang Ruoyi. Cooking for the officials, all the benefits went to that little bitch."

Qiao Yanxin lowered her head and said nothing. Ever since they got married, Zhang Yu always used his body to belittle her.

If she had not accidentally gotten tangled with He Jinghe's belt, making people think that she was having a secret meeting with He Jinghe, even if she remained unmarried for the rest of her life, she would not have married that uneducated man who visited brothels all day long.

"Okay, say a few words, don't be embarrassed." He Ning'an said in a deep voice: "Do you have any hidden silver? Go buy a few pairs."

Zhang Xiao heard this and hurriedly stepped aside, saying loudly, "Where do I get the money? The house was raided so suddenly, can I predict it?"

He Jinghe looked at Qiao Yanxin: "Do you have any money?"

Qiao Yanxin shook her head: "No."

Zhang Yu secretly touched her underwear and found that the money she had hidden was still there, which made her feel relieved.

The house was searched suddenly, so she only hid some of her jewelry that was easy to hide in her underwear as a life-saving money.

This is the first time, take it out now. After leaving the Exiled Lands, what will be left?

Shang Ruoyi saw all her actions. It seemed that her aunt 괗 and uncle 괗 were not on the same page.

The break is over and a new journey begins.

People who changed their insoles felt more relaxed than in the morning. At least their feet didn't hurt anymore.

Zhang Xiao and his friends were in a worse situation. After walking a short distance, their feet started to ache.

Gradually they fell behind, and the officers saw that they were walking too slowly, so they raised their whips and hit them.

"Hurry up and leave! If you don't leave, I'll beat you to death."

At this moment, Zhang Yu regretted his decision very much. He would not have saved the money if he had known about it earlier.

Along the way, Zhang 꿻 nearly fainted from the pain in his feet and the whipping pain on his body.

"Boss, it's getting dark now, and the road is hard to walk on, so let's stay here!"

The leading officer nodded and said, "That's the only way."

"But we're out of supplies." A young official carrying a box said, "The cakes and buns inside are gone. Originally, we only had enough to get by, but now that we've taken a detour, we don't have enough supplies."

"It's still a day from here to 꿁, so we can only see if there is anything to eat in 꿁."

"But the road is not easy to walk on, and we have to watch the prisoners, so who will find food?"

The leading man looked at everyone in Prince Ding's Palace, walked up and said, "Do you guys know how to eat?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "I recognize it."

"Very good, you go find some food here." The leading man said in a deep voice: "Don't think about playing tricks, if you dare to run, I will kill all of you He family members." He pointed at Shang Ruoyi, He Jinghe and He Jingxi and said: "Come back quickly after you find it, if it's too late, you will have a hard time."

How could He Jingxi and He Jinghe know what food looks like when it is raw?

They looked at each other and then set their sights on Shang Ruoyi.

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Okay."

She looked at the terrain and headed in the direction of the dense trees.

Seeing this, the He brothers had no choice but to follow behind.

He Jinghe was thinking that he would have to find more food later. If the officials were in a good mood, he might be able to share some with them. It would be best if he could hunt a pheasant or something, so that he could have some meat and soup.

He Jingxi looked at the various plants in the woods with a confused look on his face.

How could he tell which were edible and which were grass?

Shang Ruoyi walked in front, picking a lot of mushrooms on the ground.

She was lucky. These wild mushrooms were non-toxic and there were a lot of them. She picked them all and put most of them into the space. She would dry them into dried mushrooms later and use them in stews and stir-fries.

The remaining mushrooms were put into the backpack borrowed from the officials.

At this time, He Jinghe walked up and saw her picking mushrooms. He suddenly remembered that he had just seen mushrooms and hurried back to pick them.

I went back to the patch of mushrooms and was about to put all the colorful mushrooms into the backpack when I suddenly had an idea. The color of these mushrooms looked much brighter than the ones Shang Ruoyi had just picked. They must taste much better than hers.
