Chapter 109: Thank you, I stole the money
As it turned out, Shen Xiangwan and Wei Chengyi did not think much about it. Landslides of varying degrees occurred in many places nearby, and several official roads were submerged by mudslides.
Seeing this situation, those who had complaints dared not say a word anymore. They didn't even need the escorts to urge them. The strong fear made them move forward quickly. They only slowed down their pace when they saw the city in the distance.
"Keep on going."
Just when everyone thought they could go into the city to rest, Zhao Shan's voice mixed with his internal strength clearly reached their ears.
"ah?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. They couldn't believe what they heard. They still wanted to continue on their way? Did they really treat them as animals?
"What are you standing there for? Get going now."
“Bang!”
The escorts didn't care what they thought. Seeing that they were reluctant to move, they cracked their whips.
"No, no, no, let's go. Let's go now."
“Woo woo woo…”
Fearing that the whip would fall on them, everyone had to move forward again. Many of them sobbed. After the previous midnight fright and having walked for dozens of miles in a row, they were tired and scared, and their stomachs were growling with hunger. But the escorts were like ferocious monsters and they still drove them on. When would this day end?
They are tired, but aren’t the escorts tired too?
Whether it was the earthquake in Binzhou or the flood and plague in Taizhou, they had wasted a lot of time, which they would naturally have to make up for later. Besides, it was not even noon yet, so how could they stop to rest?
"General Wei, Madam Wei, thank you for reminding us today, otherwise we would have been buried alive."
When it was getting dark, they finally arrived at the next city. After entering the post station, Zhao Shan and Lao Zhou immediately clasped their fists towards Chen Xiangwan and expressed their sincere gratitude. Until now, they are still scared. God knows how lucky they are that they decided to believe them at that time, otherwise, they should have reported to the underworld by now.
"You are welcome."
Nodding, Wei Chengyi held the little cub in one hand and held Shen Xiangwan in the other: “If everything is fine, we will go upstairs to rest.”
Although they had a donkey cart and had traveled a whole day in a hurry, they were really tired.
"Okay, you guys go ahead."
Hearing this, Zhao Shan and the other man stepped aside at the same time. Wei Chengyi nodded slightly and took his family and the Yan family members upstairs. Before this, Qingying had already booked the second floor as usual.
On the Shen family side, Shen Xiangyue's face had a few more bright red finger marks. She was beaten by Shen Xiangdong. The reason was very simple. Who asked her to let Shen Xiangnan carry her? They were brother and sister before. As the eldest brother, Shen Xiangdong was naturally happy to see his younger brother and sister have a good relationship. But now Shen Xiangyue has become his woman. If she keeps being clingy with Shen Xiangnan, he can't stand it.
"mother."
Leaning against Jiang, Shen Xiangyue sobbed and sobbed. This time she was not pretending, but she was really upset. When had Shen Xiangdong not protected her in the past when she was in danger? This time, he ignored her, and slapped her because the second brother carried her on his back. In addition, he did not allow the second brother to carry her on his back later. She sprained her ankle again. She had been gritting her teeth and insisting on hurrying on. Now she not only felt pain in her heart, but also pain everywhere in her body.
"Don't cry, don't cry, I'll..."
"Cry, cry, cry. All you do is cry. Since you climbed into Xiangdong's bed, you are Xiangdong's woman. Why do you want to pester Xiangnan? Have you ever seen a sister-in-law let her brother-in-law carry her on his back? You deserve Xiangdong to beat you up!"
Although she was extremely tired, Jiang still subconsciously wanted to comfort her, but was interrupted by Shen Yishan. In less than two months, the former prime minister had become an ordinary middle-aged dirty man, and he no longer loved Shen Xiangyue as blindly as before. No, to be precise, not only did he no longer love her, he even resented her in his heart. If it weren't for her, how could Shen Xiangwan not recognize them?
"Bitch."
Seeing her being scolded, Xie Yunyun cursed quietly, and ignored Shen Xiangnan, curling up in a corner and hugging herself.
"father···"
Obviously she had not expected that he would scold her so bluntly. Shen Xiangyue looked at him with tearful eyes. Her body, which had been as thin as a bamboo pole, was shaky. In the past, she would have looked so pitiful and lovable.
But now, she seemed to have ignored how sloppy she was. Her face was dirty and swollen, and her hair was messy. She looked just like the refugees outside. Where was the beauty in her?
"snort."
As expected, Shen Yishan not only did not feel distressed, but also snorted disdainfully, which immediately made Shen Xiangyue almost unable to hold back. Fortunately, Jiang was still quite supportive, hugged her and comforted her: "Okay, Yue'er, the master is probably too tired. Now you are Xiangdong's wife, you should pay more attention in the future. As long as you don't make him angry, he won't fight with you."
It was not difficult to hear from her words that she still favored her son, and she also felt that Shen Xiangyue's behavior of having no sense of boundaries with her second son was wrong.
"Mom...I know."
Shen Xiangyue was stunned reflexively, and then quickly lowered her head pretending to be obedient. Where no one could see, her tearful eyes were full of resentment. Who wanted to be the wife of the cripple Shen Xiangdong? She wanted to marry a capable man. No matter what, she would find a chance to contact Wei Chengyi. Currently, in the entire exile team, he was the only one who was barely qualified to be her man.
At the same time, somewhere in the corner of the post station.
Shen Xiangdong finally caught up with Shen Xiangping, who had been avoiding him recently. His big hands tightly grasped her neck like an iron clamp: "You don't think that Zhao Shan can protect you, do you?"
"Um... big brother... let go..."
Using both hands to pry his hands apart, Shen Xiangping rolled his eyes and his face turned the color of liver.
"snort!"
With a cold snort, Shen Xiangdong pushed her away.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Shen Xiangping bent over and coughed uncomfortably, breathing in the fresh air almost greedily, with a thick fear hidden in her tearful eyes.
"Do you still dare to hide?"
Without giving her much time to calm down, Shen Xiangdong pinched her cheeks and lifted her head, forcing her to look into his sinister eyes. He knew that even if he stole the money, he would not be able to use it for the time being, but at least after they arrived in Chenzhou, they would no longer have to live this hungry life, right?
In any case, they had to get some money, and looking at the entire exile team, apart from Shen Xiangwan and the others, Zhao Shan should be the richest. You know, at the beginning he helped them buy things, but he had to charge for everything, not to mention when they checked into the inn, they booked a room and bought food separately, and he could also share the money, so he must have a lot of money.
"No, I don't dare..."
Shaking his head in fear, Shen Xiangping tremblingly reached into his sleeve pocket, took out a few crumpled banknotes and handed them to him: "I, I've got it, brother, please forgive me."
She was afraid, she was really afraid. She had taken the money from Zhao Shan's bag, which was rarely carried by him, during the chaos today. She didn't dare to take more and only took two hundred taels.
"Only two hundred taels?"
Taking the banknote and throwing her away, Shen Xiangdong frowned in dissatisfaction. What can two hundred taels do? He once spent more than this amount of money to entertain friends in a restaurant.
"That's all I have, brother. I really don't dare take any more. Please let me go."
Collapsing to her knees, Shen Xiangping cried and begged for mercy. She didn't even dare to think about how the chief would treat her if he found out that the money was missing. Her eldest brother was too scary, and she was really afraid of him.
"Useless stuff."
Kicking her hard in frustration, Shen Xiangdong put away the banknotes and squatted down: "Remember, you can't let anyone know that I asked you to steal the money. If Zhao Shan finds out, you must not betray me, otherwise, I will kill you!"
"Yes, yes, I understand."
Shen Xiangping was already frightened out of her wits, so she didn't dare to refute. She nodded her head with tears in her eyes, just begging him to let her go.
After making sure that she didn't have the guts to betray him for the time being, Shen Xiangdong turned and left. Where no one could see, a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes. Only the dead could truly keep secrets. Shen Xiangping must die, but not now, because there were still many people nearby. If he killed her at this time, he would not be able to escape death.
