Ever since Shen Changshan and his family separated from the team, the original peace of the Sanli Village team disappeared. They encountered bandits and robbers along the way.
After Shen Jiaojiao sold herself, Shen Changfeng's family was left with only a little food. In addition, without the blessing of Shen Jiaojiao's good luck, the Shen family fell into a passive position.
After finally reaching a place with water, Mr. Shen collapsed due to hunger and lack of water, and even He Lai Di almost couldn't hold on.
Shen Changfeng and Shen Wensong were slightly better off, but not much better. They were so thin that only bones were left. This was the situation of most people when they fled.
When they finally reached Luozhou, they found that it was already engulfed in war and there was no way for them, the refugees, to survive.
He Lai Di completely collapsed here. What she was most worried about when she left were Shen Wensong and her youngest son. She had not found her youngest son yet, nor had she seen her son graduate from high school. In the end, she left with her eyes open.
Shen Wensong and Shen Changfeng fled all the way to Fengqiao Town at the foot of the capital. They went through untold hardships and the father and son almost lost their lives along the way.
The food was gone and the money had long been spent, so the father and son had to rely on begging to reach Fengqiao Town.
Shen Wensong put aside his pride and face as a scholar. The day he met Song Yunshu, he went to seek death.
At that time, he was completely desperate. He washed his face and hair, changed into his most fashionable clothes, slowly walked out of the dilapidated temple where he lived, and headed for the river outside the town, intending to commit suicide by jumping into the river.
When Song Yunshu saw him, he was wearing a bamboo green robe. The clothes were a little old but washed clean. Some of his dry and yellow hair stood up at the back. Just from his back, one could see how thin and lonely he was.
"Sir, wait a minute!"
As soon as she saw him about to jump into the river, Song Yunshu quickly spoke out to stop him, and the servants following her also hurried to pull him back.
"How could a man of seven feet tall be so depressed that he would jump into the river to commit suicide?"
Shen Wensong turned around and looked at the gentle and beautiful woman in front of him. "Thank you for your kindness, young lady. However, I no longer have any reason to live."
Seeing his thin face and dull eyes, Lu Yunshu knew that he must have suffered a major blow to become like this.
"Sir, life has its ups and downs, but they will all pass. If you give up your life easily, you will regret it later."
"Thank you for your kindness, young lady. I am of humble status and I am afraid that I may offend your eyes. I will find another place."
Lu Yunshu's expression froze. Why was he looking for a new place? Was he trying to commit suicide?
"You seem quite dignified, young master. Have you ever been educated? My father likes to help students who are unable to continue their studies due to their family circumstances. Would you like to give it a try?"
Shen Wensong turned his head sharply and stared at Lu Yunshu, "Is what the young lady said true?"
Lu Yunshu smiled and nodded. "Of course. We don't know each other. Lying to you won't do me any good. What do you think?"
Shen Wensong bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss. Wensong will definitely repay you."
Lu Yunshu nodded, then asked the servant beside him to take Shen Wensong to the school funded by his father, which was full of students who were unable to study for various reasons.
Of course, not all students are accepted; they must also pass the teacher's assessment.
As long as you pass the examination, you can enter the academy to study without paying tuition. You will be exempted from miscellaneous fees for five years. If you still cannot make further progress after five years, you will leave the academy.
In this way, Shen Wensong gave up the idea of committing suicide, and after restoring his appearance, he slowly captured Song Wenya's heart and became a son-in-law of the Song family.
As for his father, Song Changfeng, with the help of the Song family, he also settled down in Fengqiao Town. Song Wensong is now fully preparing for this year's imperial examination.
He was not particularly gifted in literature, but he was willing to put in the effort. After experiencing the famine, he understood the benefits of power and money even more.
One day, Shen Changfeng and Shen Wensong, father and son, will meet Song Changshan's family in the capital.
Besides, Shen Changfeng also has a daughter, Shen Jiaojiao, who is now in Prince Yan's Mansion.
"Bitch, stop right there!"
Ever since the last time he saw that vixen Jiaojiao, my cousin was not allowed to come to Prince Yan's Mansion again.
But during this period, she heard a lot of rumors from the servants of Prince Yan's Mansion, saying that many intimate things happened between Jiaojiao and her cousin. Hearing this, he became jealous, and the jealousy accumulated until now, and it exploded when he saw Shen Jiaojiao.
Shen Jiaojiao covered her mouth and said "ah" in a pretentious manner, "Miss cousin, why are you free to come here today?"
"But I'm a guest at the palace, but the prince isn't here!"
Shen Jiaojiao looked at Li Qianru, whose face flushed with anger, and a hint of contempt flashed across her eyes. So what if she's a rich lady? She's still a brainless idiot.
"Ah, why is my memory so bad? I almost forgot. Even if the prince is not here, you can't come in, cousin."
"you……"
Li Qianru was so angry that she almost exploded, her chest heaving violently, staring at Shen Jiaojiao with resentment, this bitch!
Shen Jiaojiao took a few steps out, her pace slow and leisurely, as if she was taking a stroll here.
Li Qianru seized the opportunity and quickly stepped forward, trying to pull Shen Jiaojiao over.
"Oh, cousin, what are you doing?"
Shen Jiaojiao turned around and ran back to the mansion quickly, looking at Li Qianru with horror.
Li Qianru's anger was about to burst out, she pointed at Shen Jiaojiao and ordered, "Come out!"
Shen Jiaojiao shook her head. "Although Jiaojiao has fallen into the dust of the world, she is still a member of the Prince of Yan's Mansion. Although you are a cousin, you are still a guest. I'm sorry, Jiaojiao cannot obey your order."
Hearing her repeatedly referring to people from Prince Yan's Mansion, Li Qianru laughed in anger and turned to walk out.
"I don't want to argue with a singer like you."
Shen Jiaojiao caught a glimpse of a man riding slowly towards her from a distance, curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and stepped out of the gate of Prince Yan's Mansion.
"In that case, Jiaojiao should also go out."
This time, she quickly arrived at Li Qianru's carriage.
"You little bitch, you're rebelling!"
Li Qianru grabbed Chen Jiaojiao's hair from behind, cursing at her. She was wearing a veil, but her ugly face could not be concealed.
The pain forced Shen Jiaojiao to turn around and face her, and immediately slapped her twice in the face.
Seeing that the person had already reached the back, Shen Jiaojiao struggled to fall back, and did not forget to shout: "Miss cousin, what are you doing? The prince said he would not see you, and it is useless for you to embarrass me!"
Shen Jiaojiao exerted a little force with her hands and fell backwards, and was caught by Xie Yunche who rushed over.
