After handing over HSBC Stronghold to the local yamen runners, Tang Peng led a group of people to continue heading south.
The supplies seized from the stronghold, including meat, rice, and weapons, were all under the charge of Tang Peng and his men.
These supplies were confiscated by Su Sijin on purpose.
Of course, Tang Peng is not a stingy person who only takes and never gives.
During breaks, a small amount would be distributed to the prisoners, and they could occasionally eat a little bit of meat.
This little bit of meat is dispensable to Su Sijin. After all, there are too many people and too little meat. It is conceivable that she can't get much meat. However, she has a space cheating magic weapon.
Therefore, it doesn’t matter to her whether Tang Peng gives it to her or not.
But on the old lady's side, they often fought over food and quarrels broke out from time to time.
Among them, Qin Qing was the happiest, but the old lady did not dare to treat her too harshly. After all, they were all legitimate relatives. However, she still favored Lu Xiao from the fourth room.
As long as they don't cause trouble, especially the eldest wife, Su Sijin doesn't bother with their affairs.
They are all members of two families, so they should just live their own lives. It’s best if they don’t come in front of her.
Su Sijin narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Cao Yushu's sneaky behavior. She and Tang Peng were away from the crowd, and it was unknown what they were talking about.
Tang Peng was not as arrogant towards Cao Yushu as before. Previously, Tang Peng treated Cao Yushu like an official treats a fugitive.
At this moment, she discovered a hint in Tang Peng's behavior, and he seemed to be a little respectful to Cao Yushu.
Yes, it was respect. She finally realized that something was wrong between them. Now their roles were reversed.
Su Sijin treated the abscess on Lu Changgong's face and said worriedly:
"It seems that Tang Peng has reached some kind of agreement with Cao Yushu."
Tang Peng is a relatively upright person who hates evil. It was because of Lu Changgong's "crime" that he made things difficult for the eldest son of the Lu family.
Ever since she rescued him from the men in black last time, Tang Peng's attitude towards her and the Lu family's eldest son has obviously improved.
What if, on the road to exile, Tang Peng no longer has the right to control the exile team.
If he needs to please Cao Yushu, it will be bad news for the Lu family and her.
After all, Cao Yushu's hatred for Lu Changgong was real, his desire to kill Lu Changgong was real, and even his intention to wipe out the entire clan was real.
"Don't worry. If enemies come, we will fight them. If floods come, we will block them with earth. Villains are easy to deal with, but hypocrites are to be feared. Cao Yushu is a true villain. He will not hide his schemes and tricks."
Lu Changgong frowned, lowered his eyelids, and comforted Su Sijin calmly.
It was hard for him to hear such words, which attracted Su Sijin's sidelong glance. Su Sijin jokingly said, "It's really hard."
As for what was really difficult, they both knew it, but no one pointed it out.
Lu Changgong suddenly felt uncomfortable, but he still kept his composure, and Su Sijin really didn't notice anything.
"Brother, sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"
Lu Qiuling looked back and forth at Su Sijin and Lu Changgong's faces, tilted her head, and thought again and again, but still didn't understand what they were talking about.
Su Sijin leaned forward and lightly tapped the tip of her tall, small nose. "You're a little girl, don't eavesdrop."
"Sister-in-law, how can this be considered eavesdropping? I was listening openly." Lu Qiuling retorted unwillingly.
Su Sijin smiled helplessly. Her gentle words sounded like a reproach, but in fact they were very doting.
"You! You're so clever and mischievous. I really can't do anything about you. Have you finished picking the wild vegetables I asked you to pick?"
Lu Qiuling presented the wild vegetables like treasures, "Sister-in-law, I washed them very cleanly. What delicious food are you going to make today?"
Su Sijin took the wild vegetables, picked them up and looked at them again and again, "Very good, washed very clean. The reason why a surprise is a surprise is because of its mystery."
"If I tell you what to eat now, there will be no surprises."
Although Lu Qiuling pursed her lips, her eyes were still shining with a smile.
After all the side dishes were prepared, they only had to wait for firewood to cook, but so much time had passed and Shen Tingyun and Zheng Jie had not returned yet.
"Why haven't Mother and Tingyun come back from collecting firewood yet?" Su Sijin stood on tiptoe, looking around for them.
There was still no sign of them, so Su Sijin said to Lu Changgong: "I'm really worried. I'll go look for them, maybe there's something unexpected happening."
Lu Changgong looked at Lu Changming, and Su Sijin immediately refused, "I'll look for it, second brother, you can clean up the bamboo rat."
After Su Sijin finished speaking, she raised her foot and left.
Not far away, I saw Shen Tingyun covering his mouth and running over.
Su Sijin's heart skipped a beat. She walked towards her, grabbed her arm, and glanced at her.
After finding no internal injuries, she finally felt relieved. She asked worriedly, "Tingshu, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"
Shen Tingyun glanced at her quickly with his drooping eyes, wanting to say something but stopping himself, his eyes red, covering his mouth and sobbing softly.
Su Sijin covered up the out-of-control Shen Tingyun. This was not the time to ask about things. She saw Zheng Jie empty-handed and anxiously surrounding them.
Su Sijin narrowed her eyes and soothed him, "Listen to the book, calm down your emotions, and don't let others find out."
"Don't worry, Sister Su will stand up for you. No one can bully my Su Sijin's people and get away with it easily."
Su Sijin escorted Shen Tingyun back to the camp, and then asked worriedly, "Tingshu, what happened to you? Who bullied you?"
“I…” Shen Tingshu hesitated and covered his mouth and sobbed again.
Seeing that she was only concerned with her sadness and unable to express herself, Su Sijin turned to Zheng Jie and asked, "Mother, where is the firewood you collected?"
"I...she...this..."
Zheng Jie stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
