Shen Zhaozhao took the bag given by Shen's parents and touched it quietly.
There are several hard lumps when you get it.
These valuables were all brought from a clear path. Shen Zhaozhao did not put them directly into the space, but carried them on his back and tied the bundle in a knot on his chest.
She supported the old man and walked in front, followed by her mother-in-law Yang and her sister-in-law Zhan Yao.
Yang looked at the bag swaying on her daughter-in-law's back, her mouth pursed, and she raised her hand to wipe away her tears again.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Zhan Xiaoyao never expected that her mother would be reminded of the past again, so she hurriedly asked.
She has the temperament of her father.
She lacks any of the mother's sensibility for the passing of time, and often fails to provide adequate comfort.
On the contrary, it was her cousin, Yang's niece Yang Hanliu who was very much to Yang's liking.
Sometimes Yang would ask why her cousin was not her biological daughter.
It would have been better if Zhan Xiaoyao didn't ask.
When asked, Yang cried even harder.
"After your father passed away, no one cared about me."
Yang felt miserable.
When her husband and father-in-law were together, she was the envied doctor of the Zhan family.
She lives a life of luxury, with filial sons and a caring husband.
I have never worried about money.
At present, even her daughter-in-law has money for travel expenses, but she has nothing.
She knew that Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Guo looked down on her as a mother-in-law.
But even the newly married Shen didn't take her seriously.
The silver and money sent by the daughters-in-law's families should be handed over to me for safekeeping.
Shen Zhaozhao supported the old man and walked in front. He vaguely heard Yang's crying behind him and originally planned to pretend not to hear it.
However, the old man paused.
"Yang, the money that the granddaughters-in-law and their families brought was all sent by their natal families. I would like to ask you, where is your natal family?"
"Why do I remember that you were very kind to your mother's family?"
"Not to mention sending gifts back during festivals, even when A-Yao made a set of clothes, you also thought of making the same one for your niece."
"Why, now that you are in trouble, we don't recognize you anymore?"
Yang is like a thorn in my throat.
I can't cry anymore.
"What are you doing!" As soon as Zhan Jiaqi slowed down his pace, the escorting officers came over, glaring at him.
"I'm sorry, sir. I tripped. I'll leave now."
Shen Zhaozhao glanced at the whip in the officer's hand.
"Hurry up." The officer glanced at Yang who was wiping her tears and snorted coldly: "You still think you are my wife's daughter!"
Yang shrank her neck.
Silently followed behind the old man.
Seeing that Yang was scolded by the old lady, Shen Zhaozhao kept silent and continued to support the old man and walk forward.
Suburbs of Beijing.
Ten-mile long pavilion.
Originally it was a place for people to rest before going to Beijing, but now it was very lively.
Shen Zhaozhao narrowed his eyes.
They were officials escorting a man who was wearing coarse linen clothes, just like the Zhan family's man.
There are men and women, old and young.
Like the Zhan family, they were all exiled by the family.
"Grandma," Shen Zhaozhao looked at the people in the pavilion over there and asked, "Do you know those people?"
She looked and felt that something was not right with the way those people looked at the Zhan family.
“I know some of them.” Although the old man is old and his eyes are a little blurry, he can still recognize that among those people, there is the Yang family.
“Dad…Brother…”
Shen Zhaozhao was talking to the old man when she heard her mother-in-law Yang muttering and shouting behind her.
The volume is not loud.
No one could hear it from Changting, but Shen Zhaozhao heard it clearly.
I had some guesses in my mind.
After they were taken by the officers to reunite with the people in the long pavilion, Yang immediately ran to the group and started talking.
Shen Zhaozhao was at some distance and couldn't hear it.
However, they could see that the elderly man who was talking to Yang was looking at them with unfriendly eyes from time to time.
“The Yang family was also convicted and exiled.” The old man sighed and told Shen Zhaozhao that the place over there was none other than Yang’s natal family.
Shen Zhaozhao looked at the other two families.
"Those are the Chen family and the Cao family," said the eldest sister-in-law, Lin, as she stepped forward, frowning. "They no longer have any dealings with the Zhan family, so how come they were also exiled?"
The old man was silent.
Now the war family is in a state of chaos and lack of information, so it can be said that they are in the dark.
"Don't you know why we were exiled?" a sharp female voice suddenly sounded.
Shen Zhaozhao turned around and saw a woman in coarse linen clothes glaring at Zhan Jiayi hatefully. In her hand, she was holding a timid little boy.
"Mrs. Cao, we really don't know." Lin knew many of them in her boudoir.
Although I am not very familiar with the person in front of me, I can still say a few words to him.
"Haha," Mrs. Cao sneered, "Look, who are you pretending to be so innocent for?"
"Your Zhan family collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and reaped all the benefits. Has our Cao family ever taken any benefits from you?"
"You open your mouth and say that my husband helped you pass the message, and you want to drag our Cao family to die with you. Do you have any intention?"
If Mrs. Cao's gaze could be turned into a sharp sword, it would be able to cut the confused Zhan family into pieces.
"Walk."
After saying that, she didn't wait for Zhan Jia's response and pulled the boy back to the pavilion.
The old man's hand holding Shen Zhaozhao's arm began to tremble.
"Don't worry, I'll go ask my husband." Shen Zhaozhao patted the old man soothingly and walked to the back.
Zhan Nanxing was carried by two servants. When he saw her coming, he shook his head gently and said, "When I came back, I was seriously injured and unconscious."
Of course, it's not to drag the Cao family into the water.
As for my father and brother, they never came back.
Shen Zhaozhao nodded, raised his eyes, and looked at the sky.
Dark clouds are gathering, and it seems the weather will soon change.
"We'll be on the road soon, so you have to carry it steadily." Shen Zhaozhao instructed the two servants, Zhan Ping and Huang Ye.
The official roads in the suburbs were not paved but covered with yellow mud. Once it rained, they became wet and slippery.
They had to be careful even when walking, let alone two servants carrying Zhan Nanxing.
After giving the order, Shen Zhaozhao turned and left, completely ignoring that Zhan Nanxing's eyes were following her on the stretcher.
Just as she stood beside the old man, Shen Zhaozhao saw Yang coming back crying, accompanied by a young girl.
"Aunt, grandpa was just angry for a moment, please don't take it to heart."
After Yang Hanliu finished speaking, she glanced behind Zhan Jialiu, and without staying any longer, she turned and left.
“What’s going on?” The old man was also anxious. If the three families all had grievances against the Zhan family, it would be difficult to travel this distance.
Yang cried even harder.
"My entire family was convicted, and my father called Nanxing a jinx."
"If Nanxing hadn't come back, we wouldn't have been implicated and exiled, and my parents would still be living well in the capital..."
Seeing that Yang was getting more and more outrageous, a mother actually cursed her own son for her natal family, I immediately shouted:
"Shut up!"
"Are you still worthy of being Nanxing's mother?"
