"The one who just spoke must be Shang Ruoyi's second aunt, right?"
"It should be. Since she said that, it's probably the truth."
"Can I? She's the Crown Prince's Consort!"
"Humph, what about the Crown Prince's Consort? I'm telling you, the more powerful and influential they are, the more tricks they have when it comes to playing. I used to work at Tianxiang Tower, so I've seen all kinds of things."
The more they talked, the more outrageous they became. Zhang Yu listened to them and felt extremely proud.
Shang Ruoyi, even if I kill you, I will destroy your reputation. When the time comes, you will be ostracized by others and despised by your in-laws. Let's see if you still have the face to continue living.
How could she know that Shang Ruoyi didn't care about these things at all.
These gossips spread quickly, and when the He family came over, they looked at Shang Ruoyi with obvious contempt, and some even spit in her direction.
He Jingheng's eyes turned fierce, and the man hurriedly lowered his head when he saw it.
Shang Ruoyi smiled and whispered in his ear: "It doesn't matter, there is a way to deal with them."
She had excellent hearing and tried hard to conceal herself, but from the moment she said the first word, not a word of hers fell into her ears.
It seems that the mushroom poison last time was completely cured, and I have the energy to jump around again.
Zhang Hu and others took the documents and began to put supplies into the boxes.
Shang Ruoyi looked at the same grain cake as always and sighed silently.
"Zhang Hu." The official from the post station stepped forward and said, "It seems that you will have to eat multi-grain cakes along the way."
Zhang Hu asked in a deep voice: "Why?"
The multi-grain cakes were called multi-grain cakes, but in fact they were made by grinding rice husks and baking them with rice flour. They were hard to swallow, so they were usually given to prisoners, while the escorting officers ate steamed buns made of white flour and rice flour.
What's the point of asking them to eat multi-grain cakes together now?
"I saw a few baskets of steamed buns in the kitchen yesterday. Why can I give them to you?"
The officer looked at the He family and whispered, "This is because Prince Xiao was injured here yesterday. Princess Xiao was furious and said that we were unable to protect him, so we took away all our food and fined us for one month."
Zhang Hu heard this and immediately understood what he meant.
It was nothing more than that he was angry because Prince Xiao suffered a loss at the hands of the He family and his past was exposed by them.
The other officials were very happy when they heard this, and they looked at the He family with anger in their eyes.
If it were them, how could Prince Xiao come to the posthouse for no reason?
When Prince Xiao comes, so many things will happen.
Ultimately, it's their fault.
So, an official walked up to the He family with a whip in his hand. Just as he was about to beat them, he heard Zhang Xiao say in the crowd, "You deserve it."
When the officer heard this, he immediately became furious. He turned around and walked towards her, raised his whip and lashed her without mercy: "Serves you right? Who do you think deserves it? I'm giving you face, right?"
Zhang Yu was beaten and screamed. The officer looked at He Ning'an and others beside him and said angrily: "You are also members of the He family, right? Ah?" As soon as he finished speaking, he beat the four people from the second house.
Shang Ruoyi shook her head. If you seek death, you will die. This sentence is really appropriate for the situation.
The officer was so angry that he put away his whip and said to the people from the second house, "Watch your mouths, or don't blame me for showing mercy."
The people from the second room were covered in blood and nodded tremblingly.
Zhang was beaten the worst; his clothes were torn in several places, and the flesh on his arms was exposed.
Although she was already over 30 years old, she was the princess of a county prince after all. She was served by servants and took good care of herself, so she looked only in her twenties. Her skin was very delicate and those prisoners stared at her with their eyes wide open.
Zhang Hu took the supplies with a dark face. Shang Ruoyi stepped forward and quietly handed him a bag of silver coins: "Because of our He family's affairs that have implicated you, this is all my belongings. Just consider it as an apology to you."
Zhang Hu stumbled over the bag of silver coins. The other officials saw it clearly and felt relieved.
"It's just some dry food, it doesn't matter." The officials smiled. The bag of silver was enough to cover their three-month salary. "Miss Shang's skills are good enough. I'll trouble you to take care of our food along the way."
"You are welcome, my Lords."
Zhang Hu looked at Shang Ruoyi's back, and touched the bracelet in his body. Just now, when Shang Ruoyi was giving him the silver bag, she secretly put a gold bracelet in his body.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, is this really a concubine's daughter?
Zhang κΏ» and his friends were so angry that they wanted to bite their tongue.
If they had the silver, they should have taken it out earlier. They had to wait until the officials had finished beating them before taking it. This was clearly intentional.
He Ning'an endured the pain in his body and said angrily: "I told you not to talk too much!"
He Jinghe couldn't help but complain: "Mom, you are the one who caused all the trouble along the way. Of course, we can't be treated differently. Today, I got whipped for them for nothing."
Although Qiao Yanxin didn't say anything, the resentment in her eyes was clearly visible.
Zhang Xiao gritted his teeth and said nothing, but his resentment grew more and more, especially towards Qiao Yanxin, who came from a small family but dared to look at her badly.
When passing by a town, Shang Ruoyi once again proposed to go shopping, and the officials all agreed very much, since it would cost them their own money anyway.
She went to the market and bought a few large pots and cooking utensils. When she passed by a meat stall, she bought a lot of meat and stored it in the space to keep it fresh. When she was exiled, she could still eat some meat dishes.
After buying rice, flour and other food, Shang Ruoyi walked towards the city gate.
When passing by a stall, his steps suddenly stopped.
"Grandma, how much are these seedlings for?"
She actually saw fruit seedlings.
"My dear, I also know what these seedlings are. They were given to me by my neighbor from the Western Regions before he left. I wanted to plant them, but none of them survived. I decided to sell the remaining ones."
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "I would like to try it, I will buy all these."
The old man was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, young lady."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sarcastic voice from the side: "To be honest, you old woman are always lying. What Western neighbors? What about no crops? You are clearly a weed." The man curled his lips and said, "Little girl, if you don't want to listen to her nonsense, come and take a look at the seeds. They are definitely many times better than that old dead one!"
Shang Ruoyi glanced at him coldly and said, "I see that most of your seeds are shriveled and can't sprout if planted in the water."
A woman just wanted to buy seeds, and when she heard Shang Ruoyi say this, she turned and left.
The man was furious when he saw this: "What nonsense are you talking about? What are you buying? If you are talking about buying, get out of here and don't delay my business."
Shang Ruoyi took the seedlings, turned to look at the man, and sneered, "I see that your forehead is black, I'm afraid there will be a bloody disaster today!"
