Chapter 72 Where are you looking?

Tong thought about how she had spent a high price to buy a straw raincoat from Lin Zhiyi, but Mu Yunzhao clearly already had one but never mentioned it.

"No, sister-in-law, please listen to my explanation..."

Mu Yunzhao felt extremely aggrieved.

Isn't this just for the sake of the Mu family?

Five years later, Li Wenjing will return to the capital to become emperor. If she can take Li Wenjing down, it will be equivalent to paving a road to success for the Mu family.

"You still dare to quibble."

Tong scolded angrily.

Mu's mother couldn't believe it either. Zhao Zhao would rather hide the straw raincoat and give it to the deposed crown prince than give it to the Mu family, or to her father and stepmother.

Her heart suddenly turned cold.

Mu's father also glanced at Mu Yunzhao, and from his eyes it could be seen that he was completely disappointed in her.

He instructed Mu Qin, "Before the team sets out, go back and ask the Lin family to buy a few more raincoats."

Mu Qin replied yes and ran away.

However, they ran back soon, but the raincoats had already been sold out, and the Mu family had no choice but to get wet in the rain.

He was fine, but he felt sorry for the two children.

Father Mu sighed, looked up at the sky, and said, "I hope the rain won't be too heavy."

Now the Mu family only has four straw raincoats left, two for men and two for women.

The suit that Mu Yunzhao bought was a men's suit, and she was wearing a women's suit.

Because the two children were still young, it was finally decided that Mu's mother would wear one coat as it was not convenient for her to do so, so Mu's father would wear one coat. Because the two children were young, Mu Qin and his wife would each wear one coat, which would also protect the two children under their bodies.

Mu Yunzhao could only get wet in the rain.

She clenched her fists, and even though she was gritting her teeth, she didn't dare show any emotion on her face.

The second and third branches of the Lin family also started arguing at this time.

Zou and Zhou took some money to Lin Zhiyi but only bought three sets of straw raincoats.

Old Lady Wang put it on first.

As for the remaining two pieces, Uncle Lin Er and Uncle Lin San put on one each without saying a word.

Zou felt sorry for her grandson Rui'er and wanted to wear it for him, while Zhou also felt sorry for her youngest son Lin Xiuqi.

For a moment, the whole family started fighting for the raincoat.

Lin Jingshu stood aside and didn't dare to say a word.

Every time there was a quarrel at home, they would unanimously point their fingers at her, and she became the punching bag for the second and third wives.

Sure enough, after just a few words of bickering, Zou came over and said, "Jingshu, I heard that you went out at noon at the post station and brought a straw raincoat for Miss Mu?"

Lin Jingshu didn't dare to hide it from Zou and nodded slightly.

"Mom, I didn't know it was going to rain. If I had known, I would have bought them all."

Mu Yunzhao's straw raincoat and bamboo hat were indeed brought back by her.

At that time, Mu Yunzhao was rejected by Lin Zhiyi, so he went to Lin Jingshu and promised to pay her for running errands if she brought something back to her.

But Lin Jingshu didn't want it.

Because in the past few days, she could see that Miss Mu also hated Lin Zhiyi, and the enemy of her enemy was her friend.

Besides, Miss Mu was Lin Zhiyi’s close friend before. If the two of them became good friends, it would also make Lin Zhiyi angry.

At that time, she even casually asked, "The weather is so nice, why did Miss Mu buy a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat? It would be better to save the money and buy food."

Mu Yunzhao casually explained that his father bought the bamboo hat because he was afraid of the sun.

Lin Jingshu didn't think much about it at the time.

Unexpectedly, it really started to rain. If she had known this, she would have gone along and bought it.

"What should we do now? Can you bear to let a child as young as Rui'er get wet in the rain?"

Zou complained.

What Zou could not accept the most was that since Lin Jingshu and Lin Zhiyi were divorced together, she could not compare with Lin Zhiyi in every way.

"What does mother mean?"

Lin Jingshu had a bad feeling.

"Go back to the town you just came from and follow the official road. The exile group moves slowly. Come back after you buy the raincoat."

"Mom, but I... the weather might stop snowing soon. Wouldn't it be redundant for you to ask me to run back?"

"Are you going or not? If not, then stop following me."

Lin Jingshu felt very aggrieved.

Mom, you are deliberately making things difficult for me.

Ever since she was forced to divorce, she wanted to get the warmth of her natal family, but she didn't expect that it was her natal family that bullied her the most.

She knew that if she didn't follow her mother's instructions, they would definitely complain about her. "Okay, I'll go."

She stood up and walked along the official road back the way she came.

Lin Jingshu was not on the exile list, so the escort only questioned her a few questions and then let her go.

And the exile team also began to set off.

The rain seemed to be against everyone, falling on the ground with a crackling sound, getting heavier and heavier.

Fortunately, most people were wearing straw raincoats, and only a few people had to get wet.

But as long as the officers didn't tell them to stop, they wouldn't dare to stop.

They all came from official families, and at the beginning they were indeed unwilling to obey the escorting officers, but the escorting officers had their own way of dealing with the fugitives.

When the bailiff killed two escaped convicts in front of everyone, they also became afraid of the bailiff from the bottom of their hearts.

Then they understood one thing: their lives were now in the hands of the escorts. If they offended them, even if they were killed on the way, these escorts were capable of concealing it.

As long as we report to the court and the fugitive has been executed if he tries to escape, that's all!

A female convict in front staggered and her knees immediately sank into the mud and water, splashing black liquid.

The bailiff whipped out his whip and yelled, "Are you courting death? Get up!"

A whip hit the ground, and the woman was so scared that she quickly got up from the ground and continued to move forward.

Lin Zhiyi sighed inwardly, thinking that the rain came at the wrong time.

Although she was in the carriage, she sat on the crossbar in front of the carriage because she had to drive it, and her situation was not much better than those people.

The raincoat had been soaked through by the rain and was so heavy that it made her feel uncomfortable.

The water dripping from the edge of the hat formed a curtain, blurring the view ahead.

Although she had a raincoat in her space, it was not convenient to take it out because it did not belong to this dynasty.

Especially the two elder brothers were still wearing light shackles.

With Lin Zhiyi's arrangement, Lin Zheng and Lin Lu got on the carriage with Lin Fuzai, so Lin Zhiyi didn't have to worry about them.

Only my mother, Mrs. Song, my two brothers and my two sisters-in-law had to walk on foot, which was even more difficult when they were wearing heavy straw raincoats.

Suddenly, a muffled thunder was heard in the sky, like a hungry beast grinding its teeth in the clouds.

The rain was getting heavier, and they had already traveled more than thirty miles today. The escort decided to stop early and find a place to shelter from the rain.

After walking for about a cup of tea, the escort could not find a place to shelter from the rain, so he ordered the exile team to stop and let everyone find a place to rest on their own.

Fortunately, God was merciful and the rain gradually became lighter and the thunder stopped.

Seeing that there were several big trees nearby and the ground under the trees was dry, everyone was delighted and ran under the trees.

The Lin family also got on the spacious carriage where Lin Fu was. It was a bit crowded, but fortunately there was enough room to sit.

Lin Zhiyi also took off his raincoat and got into the carriage.

Seeing Li Wenjing's phoenix eyes slightly raised, there was a hint of smile at the corners of his eyes, and he smiled like a cat stealing some fish.

Lin Zhiyi lowered her head following his gaze. Her clothes were soaked through, and under the influence of the rain, her curves were exposed to everyone, so exquisite!

"Hey, hey, hey! Li Wenjing! What are you looking at? Turn around!"
