Chapter 16: Farewell at the City Gate



The Ministry of Justice is an official who is responsible for escorting prisoners to the place of exile.

This was the first time that Shen Zhaozhao knew that the division of labor in exile was so clear, and her eyes fell on the official who was escorting them to Mobei.

He was wearing a green official uniform that had been starched until it turned white. There were streaks of white in his hair and beard. He looked like a middle-aged man with a big beard.

Describes being sloppy.

This was in stark contrast to the glamour of the man who stayed in the capital.

Shen Zhaozhao secretly calculated the number in his heart.

Sure enough, all the good jobs are reserved for the capital.

“Brother Jiang, please be careful with the Zhan family on the way,” the officer in charge of escorting the Zhan family in the capital glanced at Shen Zhaozhao and nodded at her.

"Especially this young wife."

Jiang Hu was a rough man, and when he heard his colleague say this, he glared at Shen Zhaozhao.

Seeing that the other person was just a weak little girl, he didn't take her seriously at all.

Even, I had the wrong idea.

"Haha, I see."

Jiang Hu chuckled at his colleagues.

Then, he immediately straightened his face.

"You are always upright in your work, but you have a tigress at home, what's wrong with that!"

Seeing that the rough fellow didn't understand what he meant at all, the escort officer from the capital just smiled and said nothing more.

This brain.

No wonder the superiors liked him and sent him out to escort the prisoner.

Shen Zhaozhao didn’t pay much attention to the lawsuit between the escorting officials, her eyes fell on the figures waiting at the city gate.

"Aunt," a young man came over and handed a bundle to the old lady of the Zhan family, "I wish you a safe journey."

The old lady looked at Jiang Hu and others who were in charge of escorting them with a little fear.

Seeing that Jiang Hu had no intention of stopping him, he asked Huang Juan to take the bag.

The young man who came was a younger member of her natal family.

The old lady said something to reassure him, and finally sighed and looked at her grandnephew with an apologetic look.

"When the old general was here, he didn't allow you to get close to the Zhan family. I thought you were angry."

During the holidays, my mother's family didn't visit my family.

After her mother passed away, she, as a married woman, never returned to her parents' home.

Originally, I thought that my relationship with my mother's family had been completely severed, but I didn't expect that when the Zhan family was in trouble, they would still be thinking of helping them in their time of need.

The old lady's eyes felt a little sore.

The young man said, "What are you talking about, aunt? Grandpa said when he was alive that aunt is here to protect our family."

"Everyone in the family understands my aunt's heart."

Without relying on the Zhan family, the Lu family could also become a general and enter the government on their own.

Although his official position was not prominent, he still had some influence in the court.

Hearing about her deceased brother, the old lady couldn't hold back her tears and shed them. She raised her hand and touched the young man's shoulder, feeling quite relieved.

"Well, you all are great."

Without relying on the Zhan family, he managed to survive this catastrophe without any injury.

The next day, when she got off work, she was too embarrassed to see her parents and brother.

The young man lifted the corner of his robe, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times to the old lady.

Turn around and go back to the city.

It is not convenient to say such words as "I wish my aunt would come back" in front of so many people.

It’s all in these three rings.

The old lady wiped her eyes, held Shen Zhaozhao's hand, and resolutely turned in the direction of leaving the city.

"Zhao Zhao."

A female voice called Shen Zhaozhao with a crying tone.

Shen Zhaozhao looked over and saw a middle-aged couple, both looking at her with red eyes.

This is the mother of the original body.

"Zhao Zhao, my poor child!" Lin Dongniang had been holding back her tears all the way, but the moment she saw her daughter, she couldn't help crying out loud and hugged Shen Zhaozhao.

Shen Zhaozhao was caught off guard by being hugged.

I just felt my mother's tears sliding down my collar to my heart, and my heart ached.

A touch of face.

There are water marks on my hands.

She actually cried.

Shen Zhaozhao was an orphan. After being adopted by the organization, he had been trained according to the established procedures and had never experienced such human affection.

She felt that this feeling was very strange and satisfying.

"Okay, our daughter was fine before, but you made her cry." Shen Zhaolin stepped forward and comforted his wife awkwardly.

He looked at Shen Zhaozhao evasively, feeling sorry for his daughter.

At first, I just thought Zhan Nanxing was a good kid and my daughter would definitely not have a hard life if she married into the Zhan family. However, I didn't expect that the Zhan family would be exiled just after she got married.

Shen Zhaolin wanted to take a good look at his daughter, but he was afraid of seeing her resentful look.

"You still say, if it weren't for you, how could our Zhaozhao be exiled..." Lin Dongniang burst into tears, let go of Shen Zhaozhao, and waved her arms to hit her husband.

Shen Zhaolin lowered his head and accepted it all.

"sister."

This unfamiliar name made Shen Zhaozhao look up at the young man in front of him who was a head taller than him.

The original body's twin brother.

Deep and far away.

In the original body's memory, there was just an unlearned playboy who hung out outside all day. Although they were siblings, their relationship was just average.

"Keep these money," Shen Tiaotiao stuffed a bundle into Shen Zhaozhao's hand, looked at her a little awkwardly, moved his mouth, but didn't say anything.

Shen Zhaozhao felt embarrassed for the brother and sister.

"I don't know if you will come back after this trip," Shen Zhaozhao acted like an elder sister, "If you don't like studying, then don't study. If you like being a craftsman, then go and learn the craft. If you like doing business, then help run the shop."

Dandy hates being advised to study the most.

Brother Bao is like this. He especially hates Sister Bao.

Sure enough, Shen Tiaotiao looked at her sister in shock, and said in a low voice: "Sister, are you still obsessed with me? Are you possessed?"

Shen Zhaozhao smiled and said nothing.

"Mom and Dad, did you hear that?" Shen Tiaotiao burst into tears. He couldn't bear to leave his sister. "Sister agreed to run the shop!"

As an older sister, Shen Zhaozhao always looked down on her younger brother who didn't study!

Shen Zhaolin felt distressed when he saw his daughter, who was about to be exiled, trying to comfort her brother.

His daughter grew up overnight.

Lin Dongniang cried so much that she fainted. Shen's son rushed to help her up, and was in a panic for a while.

The old lady of the Zhan family was also sad to see this.

In the world, we resent separation.

"My dear relatives, Zhaozhao is a good child. I swear to you that even if all members of Zhan's family are dead, Zhaozhao will not be wronged!" The old lady swore solemnly.

Shen Zhaolin looked with red eyes at Zhan Nanxing who was carried by two servants.

Zhan Nanxing also looked over here and nodded slightly.

Attached silently.

Even if Zhan Nanxing died, he would die before Shen Zhaozhao.

Shen Zhaozhao rubbed cooling oil on Lin Dongniang's philtrum and she slowly woke up. Although she was very reluctant, she had no choice but to let her daughter go.

With the support of her husband, she came to the Zhan family's eldest sister-in-law, Lin.

The granddaughter of Lin Shizuoxiang.

Lin Dongniang was born in the Lin family's side.

"My dear, your father sent someone to look for you last night and asked you to bring something to you," Lin Dongniang handed another bundle to Lin.

Lin nodded and took it.

She knew that if no one came to her house and she didn't get caught, asking Lin Dongniang to bring her something was already the limit.

"My dear Zhaozhao..." Lin Dongniang said, and knelt down in front of Lin, "Please."

As a mother, she did not stop her husband from marrying off his daughter. She only bid farewell to her daughter in tears. All she did was ask the person she asked to take care of her child.

"Hurry up," Lin sighed in her heart, and hurriedly stopped the man, patting Lin Dongniang's hand, "Zhao Zhao is a powerful man, just rest assured."

"Let's go!"

The escorting officer roared and cracked his whip hard.

It stirred up a cloud of dust on the ground.

Shen Zhaozhao left his family, bid farewell to Shen's parents and younger brother, and embarked on the road to Mobei.

At the city gate, people and animals were coming and going, and dust was flying.

After a while, they disappeared.

Lin Dongniang bit her lip and endured it. Seeing that the person had indeed gone far away, she cried and collapsed, pounding the dusty yellow mud ground.

"Doujia Zhaozhao, what's so great about you!"

"She doesn't know how to do anything, and I haven't seen her come back yet!"

"How wonderful!"
