An Xin guessed that the reason why Prime Minister Xiao and Concubine Xian did not raid the mansion where she lived like they did to the second branch of the Chen family was that...
She was probably also concerned about Yuchi Yi and Gao Tai who were guarding the border in northern Hebei. After all, these two young generals who held real power were her students.
Just like they didn't dare to kill or exile General Yuchi and General Gao easily, they were all concerned about the military power the two men now held.
When others saw that An Xin and the others were eating well, they all thought that they were not in good health.
They have just left Beijing and there is still a long way to go. If they keep eating and drinking like this, their money will be gone and they will have a hard time.
Even the officials who were exiled to Lingnan from the Ministry of Justice at the same time as An Xin and others swallowed their saliva when they saw the rice, meat and vegetables that Leng Xiangbai and Old Doctor Su were eating, and turned their eyes away to eat the vegetables they had bought with a small amount of money.
Because they all take the food back to their own rooms to eat.
The mother and daughter saw An Xin, Zhu, and Chen Runzhi, all holding rice, with a roast chicken in front of them, and a few dishes of roasted vegetables...
Then he looked at the mixed flour steamed buns and pickled vegetable shreds he was eating and felt extremely jealous.
The old woman and Wei Yuejiao saw An Xin and the others eating with relish, as if they, mother and daughter, didn't exist. They lived in the same room and couldn't even say a polite word to each other, and they gritted their teeth in hatred.
The old woman relaxed the jealous look on her face, forced a smile, and turned to face An Xin and the other two, as if to kindly advise: "Sister, I have something to say, am I not sure if I should say it?"
"Since you're not sure whether you should say it or not, then don't say it." An Xin tore off a roast chicken wing, took a bite, swallowed it, and then said calmly: "After all, we are not familiar with each other, and if you say something unpleasant, it will be easy for others to make fun of you."
"You." Wei Yuejiao didn't expect An Xin to be such a difficult person to get along with.
The old woman next to her looked at An Xin with a strange look in her eyes, and patted Wei Yuejiao's delicate hand. "I just want to say that the road of exile is still long, don't spend all the money you brought with you."
The old woman's gaze shifted to Chen Runzhi's face, her eyes lit up, and she changed her original advice, which had no good intentions.
"If you run out of money, you can come to me, young lady. I will definitely have plenty of good food for you."
When the old woman saw that An Xin and the others were in such a predicament, she still wanted to eat good food.
When I saw Chen Runzhi again, I found that she not only had fair and soft skin, but also had good facial features, and her hands were pink and slender. Although she had just reached the age of 15, she still looked like she knew nothing about suffering.
So he smiled kindly, thinking that there were many men who liked these delicate and weak young ladies who had fallen on hard times.
"You'd better take that disgusting look away, or I won't mind gouging your eyes out."
The old woman was just thinking about something beautiful when she was suddenly awakened by the cold and sad voice.
A vicious look flashed in the wrinkled old eyes, and he said hoarsely: "I didn't say anything. How could this girl be so rude as to dig out someone's eyes?"
An Xin seemed not to hear and continued eating.
The old woman frowned slightly. She didn't see An Xin look back at her. Why did she always feel that this man had seen through her?
Soon An Xin and the others were full and put down their bowls and chopsticks. Perhaps they were really hungry after walking all day, and the three of them actually finished all the food.
Wei Yuejiao watched An Xin and the others eat until only the chicken bones were left. She chewed the tasteless mixed flour steamed bun in her mouth with resentment, her pretty face flushed slightly as she found it difficult to swallow.
She secretly hated the guest she had received for his poor health and for seeking pleasure through secret doors. She was so happy that she couldn't stand it and died of a stroke when she was excited. His family members didn't give in and sentenced her and her adoptive mother to exile.
She glanced at the old woman who picked her up, raised her, and trained her to be a prostitute, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.
It was clear that a man came the night before they were exiled and asked the mother and daughter to help with some things on the road. After they agreed, he gave them a lot of silver.
I don’t know what her adoptive mother was thinking. She hasn’t spent the money yet, forcing her to eat such disgusting food.
The old woman saw Wei Yuejiao's displeasure, her wrinkled eyes flickered for a moment, and she leaned in and whispered, "Most of the people in this exile group have men in their families, but you and mom are the only two women. If you show off your wealth, it's easy for them to rob you, so it's better to keep a low profile."
Wei Yuejiao pouted, threw the steamed bun in her hand aside, looked at the delicious food An Xin and the others were eating, and did not agree with what her adoptive mother said.
"I'm going out for a walk." Wei Yuejiao swayed her waist and walked out the door.
There was a gloomy look in the old woman's eyes, and she was somewhat dissatisfied with Wei Yuejiao's rebelliousness.
After An Xin and her friends finished their meal, the Chen mother and daughter cleared the dishes and took them out. She sat on the big bunk bed leaning against the wall with her eyes closed, hearing all the whispers between the mother and daughter.
In fact, An Xin felt that what the old woman said was right.
If she didn't have the corresponding strength, she wouldn't dare let others know that she was exiled so quickly and had so much silver on her.
An Xin was full and almost dozing off while sitting there.
Chen Runzhi rushed in and said, "Master Shanzhang, my cousin and his gang seem to be fighting with those guys who don't look like good people."

An Xin was startled and the sleepyhead was scared away.
"What's going on?"
"It seems like those people wanted to take away the roast chicken and meat dishes we bought, but my cousin and his friends refused. Now the two groups are confronting each other over there." Chen Runzhi replied anxiously.
Wei Yuejiao's adoptive mother was once a courtesan in a brothel, but was kicked out because she was old, ugly and sick.
Seeing An Xin hurriedly leading Chen Runzhi out, he snorted coldly: "You guys were so proud of eating and drinking, look, you've caused trouble."
The old woman felt that it was right for her not to spend the money for the time being.
Besides, she was planning to hide the money for her old age, and she couldn't let Yue Jiao, a little spendthrift, take it and waste it.
An Xin walked to the room that Leng Xiangbai and the others had assigned to rest tonight. Seeing the food scattered all over the floor, he narrowed his eyes and looked up: "What happened?"
"That bastard saw us eating and didn't give us the bone, so he rushed to grab it."
When An Xin heard what Jiang Zhou said, he roughly knew what had happened.
She looked at the three or four big men standing opposite Leng Xiangbai and his companions, as well as Censor Shan, Old Doctor Su, and Gongsun Hong, who were obviously angry.
Anyone who encounters such a thing while eating would probably feel unhappy.
"You did it?"
"Hey, so what if it was us who did it? We are all people sentenced to exile. Why should you get to eat the delicious food while we can't come and grab it.
You former officials have money, so the old men took away the food and you can just buy more."
The big man with a face full of flesh said with a specious reasoning: "It's really fucking bad luck. Now it's all over the floor and no one can eat it."
