Soon, the families of officials who heard the news came sending things they would need during their exile.
"If they say exile, then they will exile us. Even if they want to exile us, they should be prepared. Why are they in such a hurry?!" The family members of the officials who came to deliver the gifts murmured with sad and dissatisfied expressions.
An Xin curled the corners of his lips. It was obvious that Prime Minister Xiao didn't want them to have time to prepare.
There are several officials here who have strong connections in the capital. If he gives their relatives and friends who want to rescue them time to make contacts and arrangements, it will be very troublesome for him to handle the situation.
An Xin and his group also received Qingfeng Mingyue who came in a hurry, as well as the kettles sent by Dazhuang and others, some food that could be stored for a few days, and some things for use on the road of exile.
"master."
An Xin nodded to them.
Qingfeng suppressed his sadness and worry, handed the things to Leng Xiangbai and the others beside An Xin, and said a little beyond his duty: "Take good care of my master, Qingfeng would like to thank you here."
As he said this, he and Mingyue were about to bow to Leng Xiangbai and the others.
Everyone knew that these two maids had grown up with their own headmaster since childhood, so naturally they had a special bond.
They were usually very respectful to them in the mansion and were not willing to accept their gifts, so Leng Xiangbai and the others all stepped aside to avoid them.
Zhu Shijing: "Little Shanzhang is our husband, it is our duty to take care of her on the road, you two can rest assured."
Leng Xiangyang and Jiang Zhou nodded in agreement, "You two don't have to worry."
"Master," Mingyue grabbed the corner of An Xin's clothes with tears in her eyes, as if she would burst into tears if she said one more word.
An Xin raised his hand and stroked a strand of hair that fell from her temples. "Don't be sad. You guys take good care of the mansion. I will be back."
Qingfeng handed the bag in his hand, which he had never given to anyone else, to An Xin, and whispered softly, "Master, I put a few sets of clothes in it, as well as a bag of silver coins of varying sizes and five hundred taels of silver notes for you to use on your journey."
An Xin looked at her appreciatively and nodded, "Well, I'll leave the house to you. Close the door and wait for me to come back."
Qing Feng pursed his lips and took a deep breath, then replied, "I obey your command."
An Xin looked at one maidservant who was calm and steady, while the other one was weak and tearful, looking at him reluctantly. He turned to look at Da Zhuang and Ling Yun and ordered, "Take good care of them both."
"Yes, master." Da Zhuang and Ling Yun saluted and answered.
"Let's go, let's go. Stop dawdling. It's time." Dozens of yamen runners escorting them gathered around to chase them away, and the leader shouted loudly.
An Xin told Qingfeng Mingyue and the others to go back, and took Leng Xiangbai and the other three to follow the others. Only then did they discover that Doctor Su and the Chen family were walking in front of them with disappointed looks on their faces.
Seeing that they didn't have anything extra on them, I guessed that their families were afraid of getting into trouble, so they heartlessly didn't come to see them off, nor did they send anyone to deliver the items they would need during their exile.
An Xin frowned slightly. She didn't know why Chen Runzhi's family was also exiled, but from that visit to Chen Bo's mansion, she knew that Uncle Chen and his wife were selfish, so it was understandable that they didn't come to see off the second branch of the Chen family.
But Doctor Su has a son in the capital, not to mention his wife, grandchildren and great-granddaughters. An Xin has seen them come to Doctor Su's house more than once, and they were provided with food, drink and other things.
Although Doctor Su thought that they were being unruly, they were his own descendants after all, so he never reprimanded them for it.
I didn't expect that when Doctor Su was involved in such a thing, his son and his family were so afraid that they would be implicated and exiled as well that they were unwilling to even send a servant to deliver things. It was really chilling.
No wonder Doctor Su is so hunched over, as if he has aged several years in an instant, and his face looks so ugly.
Zhu Shijing walked over and supported his aunt Zhu, and the two whispered something. Chen Runzhi and Chen Runze followed their parents and looked back at An Xin.
Not long after walking out, I heard a commotion ahead.
It turned out that it was the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, the Gongsun Family, and the Shan Family. After hearing the news, they were busy packing a lot of things at home and wasted some time, so they stopped the team.
The leader who led the escort of An Xin and others saw that the families who came to see them off were all well-known in the capital, so it was not easy to stop them. After accepting the bribe, he said, "Hurry up," and let them come.
"Teacher, teacher..." Feng Yuxiu and Chi Lan ran up to him with tears in their eyes, holding a bulging bundle in their hands.
Li Xin, Kun Rui and Shen Wenxuan, who were following behind them, were caught by their family guards and dragged into the carriage next to them before they could come over.
In the end, perhaps he could not persuade the young masters, and their servants hurried over and handed a heavy bag of silver to An Xin.
"My young master asked us to deliver it to Lord An." After the three servants said this respectfully, they ran back to report.
An Xin weighed the silver in his hand and said with a wry smile, "These little guys are thoughtful."

"He's better than that bastard named Liu. It's all a waste of your years of careful teaching him." An Rui said with gritted teeth.
Among several fellow apprentices, he and Liu Boxing are the youngest. One is honest and simple, while the other is shallow-minded. They usually like to get together and chat about gossip, so it goes without saying that they have a close relationship.
The person who could most not accept Liu Boxing's sudden betrayal was An Rui.
An Xin also received farewell gifts from two students, Feng Yuxiu and Chi Lan, as well as Li Xin, Shen Wenxuan and Kun Rui.
Over there, Shan Yongzhen and his mother tied the items they would need on the road to exile to Shan Jinzhe's body. After talking for a while, Shan Yongzhen walked up to An Xin with tears in her eyes for her grandfather.
"Teacher, please take care of yourself on your journey. These are gifts from your students." Shan Yongzhen approached his teacher sadly and pleaded in a hoarse voice, "My grandfather is old. If it is convenient for you on the road, can you take care of him?"
An Xin patted his forehead gently, "Don't worry, as long as the teacher is not dead, your grandfather will be fine too."
Shan Yongzhen pulled the corners of his mouth, trying to make his expression look better, but when he saw the shackles on his teacher's neck, tears still welled up in his eyes, "Teacher."
"A real man shouldn't cry easily. You are the hope of your grandfather and mother. Don't act impulsively, and you will wait for the final result."
Shan Yongzhen paused, looked at An Xin who was being urged to leave with some confusion, and then his misty eyes slowly became clear.
An Rui also received something that Feng Lingyun asked her brother to bring for him. However, her reputation in the capital was ruined because her fiancé died early, and for the sake of her family and An Rui, she could not come in person to deliver the gift.
Gongsun Lanyue sadly sent her father off, then hugged An Xin's arm. She had always been a tomboy, but now she was crying loudly.
Gongsun Hong saw his daughter like this, "..." He always felt that something was wrong. Shouldn't this girl be inseparable from him? Gongsun Lanyue was eventually glared at by her fiancé, Xuanping Hou Shizi Feng Yujue, who accompanied her to see her off. She was forcibly pulled away by An Xin, who was so loved by her fiancée.
