Chapter 1: Exile in a Book
"Bitch, you're actually pretending to be dead! Get up now! What kind of sick and dead man did you marry? You've caused our whole family to be exiled, and you still dare to pretend to be dead?"
There was a lot of noise around, mixed with the crying of children, which was really annoying.
Shen Jinan suddenly opened his eyes and took a deep breath. Before he could see his surroundings clearly, a basin of cold water poured over his head!
"Don't touch my mother!"
"Bad guy! Go away!" A child's crying voice sounded.
Shen Jinan was soaked all over. She looked up in embarrassment and saw the two children's arms covered with bruises.
The scene in her mind of being pushed into the zombie tide by her friends made her heart tighten.
Shen Jinan lowered his eyes, and a strange memory flooded into his mind.
She transmigrated into a book! And she transmigrated into a Qidian-style novel about a male protagonist who was farming that she had been reading before the apocalypse?!
It turns out that the owner of this body is also called Shen Jin'an, the daughter of the current Minister of the Shen Mansion, and also the divorced wife of the male protagonist in the book. The original owner's mother died early and she had no one to support her, so she was forced to marry Gu Yanqing, the sickly Prime Minister.
Feeling resentful, the original owner often abused Gu Yanqing's two children.
She's also a damn vicious stepmother character!
In the book, the hero, the Prime Minister Gu Yanqing, was slandered for corruption, which led to the confiscation of property and exile of all nine clans. However, he had the full aura of a protagonist and relied on his own strategies to upgrade and fight monsters.
The first thing they did after overturning the verdict was to execute the original owner.
Looking at the two little kids in front of him who were obviously protecting him, Shen Jinan felt a surge of softness in his heart.
The original owner was worse than a beast, he could actually do such a cruel thing to such a cute child!
Before she could say anything, Shen Xitang raised her hand and dropped it on the two little kids: "Get out of here! Don't get in the way here!"
The two children subconsciously closed their eyes and shrank their necks.
That cowering look made Shen Jinan's heart ache. Her face turned pale, and she grabbed Shen Xitang's arm and pushed him back hard!
Shen Xitang was not paying attention for a moment and was pushed to the ground. A sharp sound suddenly rang out.
She suddenly dropped the wooden basin in her hand and sat on the ground like a shrew: "Bitch! How dare you push me! I will tell the Third Prince that you bullied the future imperial concubine!"
Shen Xitang's movements were quite large, and the two children were startled.
Shen Jinan rubbed his nose and sneered, “Go ahead!”
The Chen Xitang in front of her was the original owner's sister. She threatened to commit suicide so that the original owner would marry the sick and dying Prime Minister instead, so that she could marry the third prince she had been thinking about.
She thought the Third Prince was deeply in love with her, but she didn't know that it was the Third Prince who teamed up with those treacherous ministers and directly robbed the entire Gu family!
Seeing her foolish and ignorant appearance, Shen Jinan felt an extra layer of murderous intent in his heart.
But Shen Xitang seemed to be crazy. He suddenly got up from the ground and reached out to grab Shen Jinan's hair.
Although Shen Jinan was soaked, she still had strength. She grabbed Shen Xitang's arm and gave her a crisp slap in the face.
Her palms were numb, and she shook them, her face defiant: "This slap is a lesson for your disrespect to my eldest sister!"
"Bitch! Bitch! Just wait for me!" Shen Xitang covered her red face and burst into tears. Seeing Shen Jinan raised his hand again, she rolled and crawled out of the yard without even looking back!
Gu Suisui and Gu Huanhuan turned around, their eyes filled with caution, their voices even more timid than before: "Mother..."
Such lovely children, but the original owner treated them as toys to vent her anger. Not only that, the original owner also often insulted Gu Yanqing.
Shen Jinan was also very angry at the original owner's stupidity and badness. She was full of heartache and beckoned the two children to come closer.
A slightly younger old lady stood there, staring intently at Gu Suisui and Gu Huanhuan.
Shen Jinan squatted down, stretched out her hand, and looked at her with pity.
Just as she was about to touch their heads, the old lady's pupils shrank.
"lady!"
This voice made Shen Jinan lose her focus. She recognized that it was the nanny of the two little ones, "What's wrong?"
"The young master and young lady must be frightened. I will take them to rest first. Madam, please change your wet clothes quickly to avoid catching a cold."
The wet nurse looked defensive, how could Shen Jinan not understand what she meant? She was probably misunderstanding that he was going to beat the little ones.
Shen Jinan pursed his lips, cursed in his heart, but smiled on his face: “Okay, you take them first.”
The little bean was taken away, and Shen Jinan got up dragging his heavy clothes and followed his memory to the warehouse.
Shen Xitang's words just now woke her up. Before exile, the family property would be confiscated. If she wanted to live a decent life in the future, she had to make preparations first.
Shen Jinan squeezed the water off his body, concentrated his mind, and was about to open the door of the warehouse when he suddenly heard a mechanical voice.
"Congratulations to the host for discovering the hoarding space. The current hoarding space is level 2!"
Shen Jinan analyzed from these words that the storage space she had originally used in the apocalypse was still on her body and had been upgraded!
She checked the upgrade channels and found that as long as she kept stockpiling various things, she could get experience points and rewards of varying degrees!
Shen Jinan immediately became full of energy. He was originally worried that he would not be able to move all the things here!
The warehouse was filled with all kinds of precious treasures, gold, silver, and calligraphy and paintings. As long as Shen Jinan reached out and touched them, those things would immediately appear in the space!
Shen Jinan tutted his words, his eyes shining, and he muttered softly: "Gu Yanqing, I'll use these things first and return them to you later!"
After Shen Jinan touched the silver, he ran to the kitchen and cellar in small steps.
There were freshly baked cakes in the kitchen, various large white steamed buns, and various cured meats for the New Year. Shen Jinan threw everything he saw into the space.
In a short while, the entire kitchen was empty, even the small stool for burning firewood was thrown in, as if it had been looted by Taotie!
At this moment, there was a noisy sound outside. Shen Jinan counted with his fingers and was afraid that Gu Yanqing was back!
She looked at the empty space in front of her and felt happy. The room was clean, there was plenty of space, and the time was just right!
She is really an expert at timing!
Shen Jinan trotted out and saw Gu Yanqing being supported in by someone.
Gu Yanqing's appearance was the same as described in the novel, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, but with a hint of weakness, and his eyes were cold but hid a pool of starry water.
Shen Jinan had never seen anything so beautiful before. He paused and looked at the many armored soldiers following behind Gu Yanqing.
They are here to confiscate the house!
Shen Jinan's heart sank. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Gu Yanqing, who was dressed in a white gown, suddenly covering his mouth and coughing heart-wrenchingly. The soldier who was supporting him had a look of disgust on his face.
There was a trace of blood on the back of the white gown, probably because he was punished in the palace!
Gu Yanqing turned his gaze to Shen Jinan, with uncontrollable hatred in his eyes, but before he could say anything, Shen Jinan ran over.
"What are you doing?" Official Lin Xiaofeng's face darkened, and the guards on the side immediately stepped forward to stop Shen Jinan.
