Chapter 46: What a Big Black Pot
On the other side, Shen Yishan's family also kept a close eye on Wei Chengyi and his family's cart. Compared with the old lady and the people from the second and third rooms, they had a harder time, especially the Shen Xiangdong brothers. It was not until they had their own room last night that they realized how serious their injuries were. Even after applying medicine, they still felt severe pain.
"Dad, Mom, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, my sister wouldn't be like this."
Looking at them cautiously, Shen Xiangyue started wiping away tears as she spoke. If she hadn't mentioned asking Shen Xiangwan to borrow the water bag yesterday, her two brothers wouldn't have been injured. In addition, she failed to seduce the third prince in public, and instead embarrassed everyone. Although her parents and brothers didn't say anything, her two sisters-in-law were a little unhappy. They had turned their faces away several times since last night. While she secretly hated them in her heart, she had to find a way to win over her parents. If she lost their favor, she would really be dead.
"Isn't it your fault?"
Wang Wan'er pouted and glared at her unhappily. She was Shen Xiangdong's legal wife and had given birth to a son and a daughter for him. She had been married into the prime minister's mansion for several years and knew very well that this sister-in-law was not as weak as she seemed.
It was fine before, but ever since she found out that she was not the biological daughter of the Shen family, and yet she was still so close to her husband and second uncle, she started to feel uncomfortable.
Coupled with what happened yesterday, she disliked her even more. She couldn't understand why her parents and husband were still protecting her and even booked a room for her alone last night.
"Sister-in-law..."
"Shut up!"
Shen Xiangyue's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and Shen Xiangdong hurriedly scolded her.
"snort."
In the past, Wang Wan'er would have just let it go, but now, her face was filled with naked mockery.
"Wan'er."
Shen Xiangdong was somewhat embarrassed, and his voice became even deeper, with a clear warning in it.
"Why? Should I apologize to her?"
Seeing this, Wang Wan'er retorted angrily, pointing her finger at Shen Xiangyue who was pretending to be aggrieved.
"you···"
"That's enough."
Obviously, he did not expect that his normally gentle wife would be so petty at such a time. Shen Xiangdong was also annoyed, but before he could get angry, Shen Yishan growled to stop them. After making sure that they would not make any more noise, he could not help but look at Wei Chengyi's family frequently. Not to mention his two injured sons, even he felt sore all over when he got up this morning. It would be great if he could get that rebellious daughter Shen Xiangwan to give up the cart.
They were not the only ones who had this idea. The elders from the Wei family branch also claimed that their family had harmed them and that they should be compensated. However, Shen Xiangwan was too fierce and no one dared to step out and be the first to do so.
"Set off!"
Following the escorts' urging, the exile team left the post station in order, no matter how reluctant they were. The only thing to be thankful for was that perhaps the escorts knew that they were sore all over and could not escape, so they did not tie their feet today.
The imperial palace, the prime minister's residence, Prince Wei Yang's residence, and the third prince's villa were successively robbed, and all the valuables were emptied out silently overnight. Everything was weird, and some people were secretly saying that this was a punishment from heaven. The emperor was furious and ordered the Jingzhao Prefecture to catch the thieves within three days. For a time, the people of the imperial city were in a panic.
As the culprit, Shen Xiangwan had already followed the exile team away from the imperial city, and no one knew how big a turmoil she had caused.
"Sir, I really can't walk anymore. Can you take a break?"
The team had only walked two miles when some people couldn't stand it anymore. Almost everyone had blisters on the soles of their feet yesterday, and their whole bodies were sore, so every step they took was a huge torture.
"Take a break, hurry up and leave."
"ah···"
The bailiff whipped the man without saying a word. The begging man cried out in pain, but dared not make trouble anymore. He could only endure the pain and move forward almost numbly.
Seeing this, the others had to grit their teeth. At this time, the Wei family and Shen Yishan's family frequently turned back to look at Shen Xiangwan and the others, staring at the cart with eyes that almost sparked, wishing they could take it for themselves immediately.
"Mom, Ling'er, why don't you sit on the cart?"
It's not that Shen Xiangwan didn't feel the attention of those people, but she didn't take it to heart. Instead, she looked at Zhao Yuping and her daughter who were supporting each other with some worry.
In order to prevent them from feeling uncomfortable today, Shen Xiangwan mixed spiritual well water into the mutton porridge and egg pancakes last night. After taking a bath and helping them to break the blisters on their feet, she got another bucket of spiritual well water from the space and let them soak their feet. She didn't know if they could hold on.
"No, we can still walk on our own."
The cart also needs someone to push it. Looking at her little son who was soaked in sweat with heartache, Zhao Yuping shook her head and declined her suggestion.
"I'm not tired."
Wei Linger also clenched her teeth. Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan looked at Wei Chenghe again: "How about I push the cart instead?"
"I can."
Wei Chenghe was also stubborn. As the only adult and healthy male in the family, he could not leave the burden of pushing the cart to his sister-in-law, a woman, no matter what, even if it was impossible.
"Okay, tell me when you can't hold on any longer."
Exchanging glances with Wei Chengyi, Shen Xiangwan did not force it. For boys, it is a good thing to push themselves more.
The team continued to move forward slowly. Even with the threat of the whip and dragging their aching bodies, their speed was not fast, and some people even gradually fell behind Shen Xiangwan and the others.
“Ouch!”
When she deliberately fell to the same level as Shen Xiangwan and the others, the old lady suddenly let out a strange cry and fell straight onto the cart. Her purpose was self-evident.
"Old lady, be careful."
Before she could touch the cart, Shen Xiangwan, who was walking on the other side, flipped over the cart and caught her.
“You… Ouch…”
The old lady was startled and pushed her away violently. She lost her balance and fell backwards, which scared her so much that she let out another sharp howl.
"mother."
Seeing this, the Wei Jingluan brothers hurriedly supported her on the left and right, and angrily said to Shen Xiangwan: "You are such an unfilial thing, you actually dared to deliberately push down your own grandmother."
“Wei Chengyi, are you just going to watch Shen Xiangwan do whatever she wants?”
Wei Jinghong hurriedly chimed in, but he did not blame Shen Xiangwan, instead he went to find Wei Chengyi who was sitting on the cart.
Seeing them making a fuss, the people following behind stopped one after another, both to take a break and to watch the show. There was no doubt that if Shen Xiangwan and the others showed any signs of fear, they would rush over and eat them alive.
What a huge black pot!
Is she wronged?
Shen Xiangwan stroked his forehead speechlessly. These people were just too much of a fuss. If they had the energy, they might as well just walk a few more steps.
