Seeing Su Qingyin being so stubborn, Xiao Huaishuo also became angry.

He turned the wheelchair in front of Su Qingning, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he was ready to teach her a lesson.

He never hits women, but he doesn't want to make an exception with Su Qingyin!

But at this moment, a group of officers escorting exiles came over.

"Stop it! Su Er, what are you doing?! You're causing trouble in public before we even start, and you think the whip in my hand is just for show?!"

The leading adjutant Li Yang saw at a glance that Su Qingyin was rushing towards Su Qingning with a ferocious look, and immediately whipped her.

"ah--"

Li Yang's men showed no mercy, and the whip hit Su Qingyin's ribs hard.

The densely packed barbs on the whip instantly caused a streak of blood and flesh to splash out, causing Su Qingyin to twitch all over in pain.

She had been raised as a spoiled child and had never suffered such hardship before. She immediately glared back at Li Yang without showing any weakness.

"You...you...you are so rebellious that you dare to hit me?!"

Li Yang sneered disdainfully and whipped Su Qingyin a few more times.

"I think you are the one who is rebelling! Do you still think you are the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion?!"

“Snap—Snap—Snap—”

"Ah—help—"

Su Qingyin screamed in pain, and her swollen and festering cheeks trembled continuously.

"Your Excellency...Your Excellency...My daughter is young and ignorant, and I have offended you carelessly. I hope you will be merciful and let her go."

Aunt Shen rushed over to protect Su Qingyin and took a few lashes for her. She endured the severe pain and stuffed a silver coin into Li Yang's pocket.

Li Yang weighed the silver and snorted coldly.

"This won't be an example next time! Keep an eye on this idiot! If it happens again, don't blame me for being merciless!"

"Yes, yes, yes... Thank you, sir."

Su Qingyin looked at Shen 꿻 in disbelief and said:

"Aunt! What are you doing?! They are the ones bullying me... um..."

Shen 꿻 hurriedly covered Su Qingyin's mouth and dragged her back.

After walking a long way, he whispered to comfort her:

"Yin'er, mother has told you this a long time ago. Things are different now. Our whole family has been demoted to commoners. How can we offend these officials?"

Su Qingyin became even angrier when she heard this and slapped Shen 꿻 in the face.

"It's all your fault! It's all your father's fault for being incompetent and causing our whole family to be exiled!"

"Not only can a small official bully me now, but I also have to watch Su Qingning, that jerk, take Brother Xiao away from me!"

“Hmm…”

Aunt Shen's face felt hot and several pustules were broken, with yellow and red liquid flowing out.

But he resisted the urge to cry out in pain, and instead wiped Su Qingyin's tears with a painful look on his face.

"Yes, yes, it's all our fault. Don't be sad, Yin'er. I will definitely find a way to compensate you in the future."

"As for that little bitch Su Qingning...she seems to be a little different from before. Don't bother her for now. I have my own way to deal with her."

"Yin'er, please let her go. She won't be able to jump around for a few more days."

After hearing Shen 꿻's assurance, Su Qingyin calmed down and stopped making trouble.

Su Qingning quietly looked at Aunt Shen and the other woman in the distance. She knew with her toes what "big thing" they were plotting.

She even hoped that they would come and kill some people so that she could stretch her muscles.

But in addition to this, she also noticed that there were several eyes in the dark watching the Xiao family.

These people are all skilled in martial arts, and they must be the people sent by the royal family to deal with Xiao Huaishuo. They are not as easy to deal with as Shen Xiao and his daughter.

Seeing that she looked absent-minded, the Xiao family thought that she was angry with the Su mother and daughter, so they all tried to comfort Su Qingning.

"Ningning, don't be afraid. We will protect you in the future and will never let that evil mother and daughter bully you again!"

"That's right! Sister-in-law, you will be a member of our Xiao family from now on, and no one can bully you!"

"Don't be afraid, sister-in-law. Ya'er will protect you from now on. Ya'er knows martial arts!"

Xiao Qingya was afraid that Su Qingning didn't believe that she knew martial arts, so she showed her a few moves with her fleshy little fists.

Fourth brother Xiao Huaijin looked disdainful, "With your three-legged cat skills, it's good enough if you don't cause trouble for others. You still want to protect your sister-in-law?!"

Xiao Qingya was not convinced, and after dancing a few moves, she took a challenging stance towards Xiao Huaijin.

"Humph! Not convinced? Come and compete with me!"

Xiao Huaijin was so frightened that he stepped back quickly.

"Who dares to compete with you? If you get even a little scratched, mom will beat me for days!"

Su Qingning looked at the harmonious atmosphere among the Xiao family.

Although she wanted to say, maybe you guys are mistaken, the ones who should be afraid are Shen 꿻 and her daughter.

But it was the first time that she was loved wholeheartedly by her family, and she felt warm inside.

After a while, the exile team set off under the escort of officials.

According to the original book, an unprecedented four-year drought will begin this year, leaving countless people homeless and starving to death on the streets. This is known in history as the "Yuan De Great Drought."

——Yuan De is the current reign title.

It's only June and the weather is already weird.

It has been raining for three consecutive months in several counties outside Beijing. Walking on the road under the scorching sun, the temperature feels at least 35 degrees.

These exiled prisoners were all frail, accustomed to a life of luxury, and most of them were the elderly, the weak, women and children.

After only an hour of walking, they began to complain and the team moved crookedly.

The officer picked up the whip and beat several people in succession, and the complaints immediately subsided a lot.

However, some people fainted from heatstroke and were pinched on the Ren Zhong point to wake them up, and were forced to continue moving forward.

Seeing that everyone in the Xiao family was very tired, Su Qingning filled the clean water bag in the space with spiritual spring water, pretended to take it out of the package and handed it to everyone.

Everyone was so hot and dizzy at the moment that they didn't even think about how she could take out so many water bags from her ordinary bag.

The clear and sweet spiritual spring water slid down the burning throat and flowed into the abdomen.

It was as if a stream of spiritual energy suddenly flowed through my body, unblocking the blocked tendons and veins.

Everyone instantly felt their headaches and fevers eased a lot, and even the feeling of heat after being exposed to the sun for an hour was gone.

Suddenly I felt my steps were lighter and I could walk another five miles.

Several members of the Xiao family had expressions of shock on their faces.

Xiao Huaishuo winked at everyone. Then everyone came to their senses and drank a few sips of the spiritual spring water as if nothing had happened.

Du Minrui felt that there seemed to be something magical, even weird, about Su Qingning.

But now there are so many people talking, it's better to pretend nothing happened.

"Sister-in-law's water is sweet!"

Xiao Qingya took a big sip of the spiritual spring water, and her eyes turned into two crescent moons when she smiled.

Su Qingning made up an excuse: "Yes, my sister-in-law added sugar to it. Does Yaer like it?"

"I like it! Sister-in-law is also sweet, and Yaer likes sister-in-law too!"

When Xiao Qingya smiles, there are a pair of little pear-shaped curls on her face, which is very cute.

Su Qingning was so moved by what she saw that she couldn't help but pinch her tender little cheeks.

Seeing that everyone was reluctant to drink the water in their hands, Su Qingning whispered again:

"Don't save it. I still have plenty of water. Drink as much as you want."

She could see that the Xiao family was really good to her, so she would do her best to take care of them.

Even though they knew Su Qingning was very powerful, the Xiao family was still frightened by her words.

Several people opened their mouths, and before they could recover from the shock, they heard a burst of screams from the front.

"Master, help me, my husband is dying!"

"Master, the old master of the Su family has also fainted!"
