11-20

Chapter 11 After finishing the snacks,

Wang Guangzheng, a little choked, took the confession and left uneasily.

As soon as the cell door was closed, the old lady threw her sword at Lin Xuezhu and said, "You knew early on that you couldn't break off our relationship, so you deliberately encouraged your aunt to ask for documents, right? You just wanted to frame her and let her be punished. "

When Mrs. Guo heard this, she immediately reacted and stared at Lin Xuezhu.

Lin Xuezhu suddenly opened her eyes wide and said with an innocent face: "How could it be possible? How old am I? How could I know something that even my grandmother didn't know about."

Hey, the old guy just stopped his son from coming forward. This will seize the opportunity to sow discord.

Beautiful thought!

One sentence made the old lady feel guilty instantly.

She had expected that once she was convicted, nothing she could do would help.

But she didn't stop Guo from making trouble.

What if.

She could try this with her daughter-in-law just in case.

However, she didn't expect that her thoughts would be seen through by that bitch so easily.

She did not dare to say any more, for fear that Lin Xuezhu would say something even more irredeemable.

Mrs. Guo obviously understood. She stared at the old lady resentfully and finally endured it.

There is no way, this old guy has money, now is not the time to quarrel.

Only Lin Chengkun was secretly rejoicing. If my mother hadn't given him a hand, he would have been the one beaten.

Fortunately, I am very clever.

As the heroine of the book, Lin Xuelan naturally has to come out to stabilize people's hearts at this time.

She approached the old lady and comforted her softly, asked Lin Chengkun and Guo about her welfare, and touched her sister Lin Xueyi's little head. She was very busy.

There was silence in the cell for a while.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

Suddenly, a childish voice broke the brief peace in the prison.

It is the five-year-old Lin Yuxuan, the son of Lin Chengyao and Jiang Qishuang.

The little guy hadn't eaten since he was arrested yesterday. His stomach was growling with hunger, and his round, white and tender face was filled with grievances.

When he said this, others couldn't bear it.

Guo murmured dissatisfiedly: "Are we going to be exiled? I think we are going to starve to death. These officials are so cruel."

Lin Chengkun leaned against the wall and said feebly: "I heard that in order to prevent the prisoners from escaping in exile, They didn't give her enough food to eat all the way."

Guo's eyes suddenly stood up and he shouted: "Really or not? Then we are going to starve to death on the way?"

Lin Chengkun rolled his eyes at her and said impatiently: " It doesn't matter if we starve to death, we are prisoners, who cares about our life and death!"

Seeing that her parents were about to quarrel, Lin Xuelan quickly stood up and planned to plead with the jailer.

"Lan'er, sit down!" The old lady stopped her almost immediately.

"Grandma, I'm going to ask for food..."

Before Lin Xuelan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Mrs. Guo: "Lan'er, you're going to ask for food. It's not certain how much our family will be able to eat, but we are taking advantage of outsiders for no reason. . We are already being implicated, so why do we have to stand up for everything? Just sit down if mother asks you to, so don't be such a fool."

Lin Chengzhang frowned at these words.

Doesn't Mr. Guo just want him to get ahead? He just goes.

My family wants to eat anyway.

He stood up and was about to call the jailer.

With a plop, the two oil paper bags landed at his feet.

He looked to the opposite side in confusion and saw Lin Xuezhu holding an oil paper bag in her hand and making a "shh" gesture to him.

Lin Chengzhang hurriedly turned around and quietly opened the oil paper bag. He was surprised to find several exquisite snacks wrapped inside.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Qishuang quickly covered Lin Yuxuan's mouth and gave instructions into his ears.

After confirming that the little guy understood, he slowly let go.

Lin Chengzhang divided the snacks lightly.

Then he and Wen Xiuqing looked at each other, each feeling relieved.

My daughter has grown up.

The family ate in silence.

Lin Xuezhu also gave the snacks to Mr. Lu.

Mrs. Lu was confused and asked, "Where did it come from?"

Lin Xuezhu leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I bribed the jailer to bring it to me."

Mrs. Lu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

This was the first time Lin Xuezhu saw her smile.

Then he also laughed.

Mrs. Lu broke the snack into pieces and slowly fed Yuan Xiu, then she only ate two pieces.

Lin Xuezhu quickly finished off two pieces of snacks, planning to seize the time to catch up on her sleep.

As soon as she lay down, she heard Mr. Guo say angrily: "Second brother, our whole family, including the elders and younger ones, are all hungry here. Are you going to be a coward all the time?"

Hey, just now it was a hint, now it will be over. Said it clearly.

Lin Chengzhang was about to reply when he was cut off by Lin Xuezhu, "Auntie, my father, mother, uncles, aunts, cousins, aunts, husbands, and I are not hungry."

Her tongue-twisting words successfully made Lin Chengzhang and others laugh. .

Mrs. Guo spat and said: "Half a pound of duck has four mouthfuls, so you can be tough. OK, if you don't want to eat, don't eat. Let's see who can survive."

That must be us, after all, we just had enough.

People from the Lin family's lineage exchanged glances with each other and thought in unison.

Lin Xuezhu ignored Guo, turned over and fell asleep.

Half a day later, the jailer shouted from outside the cell, "It's time to eat."

Guo immediately became energetic, crawled to the cell door on her hands and knees, and shouted: "Give it to us first, they are not hungry."

The jailer was angry . Di Di scooped a bowl of water from the dirty bucket, threw down a few dark, sour buns and left.

"Just give us this?" Everyone in the Guo family was shocked.

Although she was hungry, she felt disgusted just by looking at this thing, let alone eating it.

The jailer looked sarcastic and asked, "How about I go to the palace and buy you some royal food?"

Seeing the fierce look on the jailer's face, Mrs. Guo suddenly did not dare to say anything.

At this time, the old lady spoke, "Master, I am too old to eat these things. Can you please do me a favor, even if you give me a few white flour steamed buns? Don't worry, Master, I will pay for the steamed buns." I'll have someone bring it to the officer."

She wanted to show off her old age to get some sympathy, but she didn't expect that the jailer didn't buy it at all.

He snorted coldly: "My house has been ransacked, and you still want to eat white flour steamed buns? I advise you to eat as soon as you can. Don't be ignorant. This is the last meal before you go on the road."

After saying that, he was too lazy to care anymore . They went directly to Lin Xuezhu's cell.

After giving him a bowl of water and three steamed buns, the jailer dug into his pocket, took out a white-flour bun, and gave Lin Xuezhu a meaningful look.

Lin Xuezhu took advantage of him not paying attention, moved the water in the bucket into the space, and replaced it with spiritual spring water.

Then he covered it with his sleeves, took the white-faced steamed buns, and nodded knowingly.

Needless to say, this must be Ma Xing's special care.

Lin Xuezhu secretly put the steamed buns into her arms.

The jailer went to Lin Chengzhang's cell again and gave them a bowl of water and a few black buns.

A few people had just eaten snacks and were feeling a little choked.

Lin Chengzhang said: "Master, can you give me another bowl of water?"

Chapter 12 The Dog Emperor spends a lot of money.

The jailer was entrusted by Ma Xing and did not intend to embarrass the family, so he gave him another bowl.

When Mrs. Guo saw it, she hurriedly said: "We want it too."

"No more!" the jailer yelled angrily and went out carrying the bucket.

"Hmph, dogs look down on people." Guo muttered in a low voice and pushed the bowl to the old lady first.

The old lady took a sip, frowned, and handed it to Lin Chengkun.

Lin Chengkun didn't care about others, and drank most of the bowl. Then

he vomited and said, "What kind of water is this? Is it for people to drink? There is not only sand in it, but also a strange smell." After hearing what he said, he was originally angry . After drinking too much, Guo suddenly lost his appetite.

The remaining water was barely drunk by Lin Xuelan and Lin Xueyi.

The two concubines and the concubine's son didn't drink anything.

Listening to Lin Chengkun's nagging complaints, Lin Chengzhang and others in the next cell stared with confusion.

This water is obviously very delicious, even clearer and sweeter than mountain spring water. Where is the sand?

Lin Xuezhu calmly handed the water bowl to Lu, "Auntie, please drink some first."

Lu took a restrained sip and handed it to Lin Xuezhu.

After Lin Xuezhu took a symbolic sip, Lu fed the rest of the water to Yuan Xiu.

Lin Chengkun's second aunt, Wei Hong'er, saw that no one was touching the black buns, so she quietly walked over and took three.

One was handed to Jiu Yiniang Gu Zhenniang, and the other was handed to son Lin Shengjing.

Gu Zhenniang ate in silence, her eyes a little hollow and her face emotionless.

Lin Shengjing glanced at the black bun with disgust, turned his head to one side and said, "I won't eat it. This is not for humans to eat."

He slapped him across the face.

Lin Shengjing raised his head and stared at his mother, Wei Hong'er, in shock.

Wei Honger's tone was stern, "You eat it for me, and I'll slap you if you're still a scumbag."

Lin Shengjing had never seen his mother like this before. She was so frightened that she took the black steamed bun and started to chew it in frustration.

I felt like vomiting several times, but his mother's eyes scared me so I swallowed it back.

Wei Hong'er stared at her son as he finished the black buns, and swallowed one herself while suppressing her nausea.

When Mrs. Guo saw this scene, she immediately said bitterly: "You are really a lowly person who can even eat such things."

Wei Hong'er did not reply, but just stared at her with a half-smile, then closed her eyes. Go to sleep.

Lin Xuezhu only found it funny.

Wei Hong'er is a smart person and knows how to survive as much as possible in the face of adversity.

Unlike Mr. Guo, who couldn't even protect himself, he was still in the mood to ridicule others.

Just as they were watching the show, they heard Mr. Lu call out, "Xiu'er, you're awake!"

Everyone's eyes were focused in this direction.

Lin Xuezhu turned around to look, and saw Yuan Xiu opening his eyes slightly, calling "aunt" to Mrs. Lu softly, and was unable to speak any more.

Mrs. Lu was so happy that she just kept shedding tears.

As a doctor, Lin Chengyao comforted him with kind words: "Crying hurts the liver and lungs. Mrs. Lu must not be overly sad. She must protect herself first before taking care of others."

Wen Xiuqing also said: "Yes, sisters, don't cry anymore. Xiang... When my uncle met Being able to handle such a big thing shows that Jiren has his own destiny, so my sister-in-law can feel more at ease."

Mrs. Lu wiped her tears and said thank you.

In the past, she had always felt that the Lin family had ulterior motives and wanted to outdo her nephew.

And Lin Xuezhu's method of ascending to power was ugly.

Therefore, she despised this family from the bottom of her heart.

Only now do I know that adversity is a lesson in need.

Compared with the direct descendants of the Lin family who couldn't wait to cut off the relationship, Lin Chengzhang, who was really implicated in losing his official position and having his property confiscated, did not utter a single word of complaint.

It can be seen that his reputation in official circles over the years is not false.

Their family is also a kind person.

Mr. Lu silently recorded this friendship.

Another restless night.

Under Lin Chengyao's advice, everyone was trying their best to recharge their batteries.

But with the exile imminent, few people could really sleep.

Apart from Yuan Xiu, who was forced into a coma, and Lin Yuxuan, who was inexperienced in world affairs, only Lin Xuezhu was really big-hearted.

As usual, she entered the space consciously and had a good sleep.

After waking up, he first showed off two snacks, then took out two pills, drank a bowl of spiritual spring water, and then took them out to feed Yuan Xiu.

This time, as soon as she helped Yuan Xiu up, he grabbed her wrist.

Yuan Xiu seemed to have accumulated strength for a long time and finally opened his eyes.

He stared at her, with a complex look of confusion and disbelief in his eyes.

Lin Xuezhu was a little confused.

I screamed crazily in my heart: Brother, can you wait until I finish feeding the medicine before waking up?

It's not easy for me to operate like this.

But Yuan Xiu still stared at her, with obvious suspicion in his eyes.

Hoo, man!

She admitted that Lin Xuezhu in the book was not only a senior member of the Appearance Association and coveted Yuan Xiu's beauty, but his motive for marrying Yuan Xiu was not so pure and was more or less driven by vanity.

As a wise and wise male protagonist, he can naturally see the scheming of such a small-timer.

But, it doesn't have to be this way.

Does it mean that a female supporting character must fawn over you when you are in power and add insult to injury when you are losing power, in order to be worthy of a vicious remark?

If I take care of you a little bit, am I no longer qualified to be a vicious female supporting role?

Lin Xuezhu was completely speechless.

Feeling evil, she entered the space consciously and found a bottle of poison.

After considering the dosage, he rubbed some on Yuan Xiu's nose.

The effect of the drug was obvious, and after a while, Yuan Xiu closed his eyes again.

Lin Xuezhu finally felt comfortable.

The action of pouring water and feeding medicine is done in one go.

Then he packed up his things and went back to the haystack to continue taking a nap.

At dawn, a harsh gong sound suddenly sounded, waking up the groggy people.

There was chaos in the cell.

Lin Yuxuan was frightened and cried pitifully.

Jiang Qishuang held him in her arms and comforted him.

Lin Chengkun and Guo were like an out-of-tune male and female duet, screaming one after another with broken voices.

Sisters Lin Xuelan and Lin Xueyi couldn't bear the stimulation, so they hugged each other and cried.

The jailer stopped the gong and roared with all his strength, "Shut up, everyone! Pack up and hit the road."

The word "hit the road" obviously touched Lin Chengkun's fragile nerves, and he immediately let out a cry like a slaughtering pig.

The jailer didn't get used to it, so he dragged him out and gave him a slap on the ear.

The cell finally fell silent.

The jailer said: "Your Majesty's Holy Order, you still don't kneel down to receive the order."

Everyone was sitting or lying around, twisting and turning, but after hearing this, they all changed their kneeling postures.

The jailer said: "The treasonous prisoner Yuan Xiu and his accomplices will be paraded in the streets for a day, and then they will be sent to the north immediately. There must be no mistake."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

Lin Xuezhu even sneered in his heart.

The Dog Emperor had quite a lot of work, and it was an unfounded crime. Even if his house was confiscated and exiled, he still had to parade through the streets, trampling on the last bit of Yuan Xiu's dignity under his feet.

You are still insidious, Dog Emperor!

Chapter 13 What's going on?

Seeing that everyone remained silent, the jailer's expression changed visibly.

Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness. Do these people want to have their sins increased?

Fortunately, Lin Chengzhang was used to big scenes, and he was the first to kowtow and say: "I thank the Emperor for your grace, little man."

Only then did everyone react, and they followed the sentence unevenly.

But from the tone of his voice, he was already distracted.

The jailer was busy rushing to meet the deadline. After the procedure was completed, he began to shackle everyone.

Yuan Xiu was roughly carried out by several people and thrown into a prison car.

Lin Xuezhu guessed that Mr. Lu would cry again.

Just as he was about to say some words of comfort, he saw that Mr. Lu's face was ashen, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes were full of hard hatred.

Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but admire this aunt.

She may cry, she may cry, she may feel distressed, but she will not show any weakness in front of her enemies.

Everyone was tied into a string by chains and filed out of the cell.

The capital is extremely lively today, with merchants closed and farmers stopping farming.

Everyone must go and watch the treasonous criminals parade through the streets.

Lin Xuezhu followed the prison car, walking slowly and leisurely.

While walking, enjoy the scenery along the street.

It doesn't look like you are parading, but more like you are having fun.

Behind her are the old lady and Lin Chengkun and his wife.

After a while, Mrs. Guo was heard to say: "This bastard has harmed the whole family, and now he is still in the mood to look around. It's really shameless."

The old lady snorted coldly and continued: "They are just filthy embryos raised by filthy people. You and I She knows what to do!"

Lin Xuezhu knew that they couldn't stop talking, so she just pretended not to hear.

When they arrived outside a shop called Jubaolou, Lin Xuezhu suddenly exerted force and pulled off the chain.

The old lady staggered and leaned towards Lin Chengkun.

Lin Chengkun was really a filial son. Not only did he not help his mother when she fell, he even subconsciously dodged her.

As a result, he dodged, and so did the onlookers.

The old lady stumbled out of the parade and plunged under the signboard of Jubao Tower.

Lin Xuezhu pretended to be led by her and rushed over.

It ran so fiercely that it even dragged the old lady a few steps.

The officer in the escort team saw something strange and hurried over, yelling fiercely: "What are you doing?"

Before the old lady and the others could speak, Lin Xuezhu said weakly: "I'm sorry, officer, the old man's legs and feet are not good, he tripped and fell. "No, it's not intentional."

She was already good-looking, and when she looked so pitiful, the official was embarrassed to get angry.

Then I thought, the old man has bad legs and feet, so I can only blame her children for not supporting her properly.

So, the official glared at Lin Chengkun and said in a rough voice: "You, help the man up."

"She suddenly pulled the chain and knocked me down." The old lady pointed at Lin Xuezhu and said in a coquettish way.

The officer stared at her and said angrily: "Look how fat you have become. She is so skinny, how can she touch you? Stop making trouble for me. Don't think that I won't dare because you are an old lady." I'm going to torture you. Get up!"

"Master, why don't I go to the end of the team?" Lin Xuezhu said aggrievedly, "In case there is another problem, it will be on me."

The official hesitated. Agreed.

After all, it would be a bit troublesome for Lin Xuezhu to change positions, but if problems frequently arise in the parade, he will be the one to bear the responsibility in the end.

So, he untied Lin Xuezhu's chains, escorted her around the parade, went to the end of the parade, and locked her behind Lin Jiayuan.

"Thank you, sir." Lin Xuezhu said with a smile.

The officer glanced at her, surprised.

He had seen many street parades and exiled prisoners.

Some are crying, some are discouraged, and some are even seeking death.

But he has never seen such a cheerful and optimistic woman. This is a strange woman.

How could Lin Xuezhu not be happy? The owner behind the treasure gathering building was His Highness Prince Yan.

The items for sale inside are all rare treasures he collected from all over the world.

The quality, although not as good as the ones in the treasury.

But if it were lost, it would be enough to make the already poor King Yan even worse.

Moreover, when Lin Xuezhu moved things into the space just now, he also discovered that the functions of the space had been upgraded again.

Originally she could only move items within two meters, but now the distance has become five meters.

She could only express her gratitude to King Yan in her heart. She accepted everything on the two floors of Jubao Building.

This is nothing.

Just now, when she was moving from the front to the back of the queue, she also stopped at a delicatessen shop.

This delicatessen shop was opened by a distant poor relative of Mrs. Wenzhonghou.

Relying on his backing, this person frequently bullied and dominated the market.

Not only did he smash the original delicatessen shop on this street to pieces, he also injured the shopkeeper.

The document of complaint was submitted to Dali Temple and was suppressed.

Then Lin Xuezhu walked away and read it as bedtime reading.

At this time, Lin Xuezhu could only sigh, it just so happens that you are unkind, and I just need it, so it is not unfair to steal from you.

Thinking of this, she entered the space with her consciousness and found a secret scroll from Dali Temple.

It records that the Dog Emperor ordered people to secretly investigate the private properties of various officials in Beijing.

She wrote down all the private properties of the officials involved in framing Yuan Xiu.

I just had something to do while I was walking around the streets.

So, in broad daylight, with the sky bright and clear, Lin Xuezhu, under the watchful eyes of the people in the capital, casually cleared out a certain inn, a certain restaurant, a certain snack shop, a certain rouge shop, a certain cloth shop, and a certain courtyard where an official kept his wife...

She They were busy moving their things and didn't notice at all that the officer escorting them had an increasingly solemn expression.

They have been parading for so long, but there is still no movement from the forces behind Yuan Xiu.

Could it be that the emperor's plan is going to fail after all?

The official commander was anxious and made a gesture to the roadside.

Immediately, someone shouted, "A traitor who steals the country is an unforgivable crime. Go to hell!" As

soon as the words fell to the ground, a rotten egg flew towards the prison car.

Lin Xuezhu was thinking about how much she could gain just now, but this roar startled her.

Xun Sheng looked around and saw a dozen people in the crowd holding up rotten eggs.

Upon closer inspection, these dozen or so people looked familiar. They were not officials from Dali Temple.

She instantly understood what was going on in this street game that was not in the book.

Isn't it just to completely ruin Yuan Xiu's life?

Lin Xuezhu's lips curled up slightly.

Get it you!

The next second, a dozen officers waved their arms vigorously, but nothing was thrown out.

At the same time, the crowd let out bursts of exclamations and instantly became commotion.

"You're a disciple, you're a disciple."

"Shameless, get out of here."

"Who's mentally ill?"

"It's an insult to politeness, it's really an insult to politeness."

More than a dozen officials looked at each other, and then were shocked. Suddenly, he discovered that his colleagues were all naked and looking at each other blankly.

Almost unanimously, they turned their attention to themselves, and then they were even more shocked to find that they were also naked!

"Ahhhhhhhh--"

more than a dozen people screamed one after another.

The parade was stunned when they saw it.

What's going on?

Chapter 14: Don't be too surprised, I just shrugged and said

, "Hahahahahahahaha..."

Among the stunned parade, Lin Xuezhu was the only one who burst out laughing.

Dog Emperor, your henchmen are all gone.

Are you surprised or surprised?

If you want to cause trouble, who am I afraid of?

What about rotten eggs? If you have the guts, take it out and keep throwing it away!

Her laughter was so contagious that everyone in the parade looked over at her.

"Don't be ashamed!" The old lady gritted her teeth in anger.

Although she had never recognized Lin Xuezhu as her granddaughter, since she came from the same family, Lin Xuezhu also represented the face of the Lin family.

Even though she, an old man, had to turn away from such a frivolous thing, Lin Xuezhu actually watched it with gusto and even laughed so loudly!

The old lady was not the only one who had this idea, even Mr. Lu, who had planned to re-examine Lin Xuezhu, also frowned.

This girl, just when she thought she was reliable, started to lose her temper. Is there a problem with her character or her brain?

Lin Jiayuan, who was closest to Lin Xuezhu, quickly pulled her to her side and covered her eyes tightly.

However, Lin Xuezhu pushed away Lin Jiayuan's hand and said loudly to the officer commander who was escorting them: "My lord, your Dali Temple is too polite. If the lords want to send us off, just send them off. For such a big battle, It's not like that, it's not like that."

The officer and commander was furious.

Originally, he thought that ambushing a few people to humiliate Yuan Xiu would attract the forces behind him to take action.

If we can really catch the crazy people who are doing evil in the capital these days, it will be a great achievement for the emperor.

But now, the madman didn't catch it and didn't say anything, but it was one of his own who made a fool of himself.

It was so embarrassing to be shaken out by this damn woman in public!

However, now is not the time to be angry.

He had to quickly suppress the chaotic situation at the moment.

Otherwise, not only will this trip be in vain, but you will also be punished.

So he sent most of his officers out to suppress the people who were running around.

At the same time, he ordered the dozen or so 250 people to quickly find a place to get out.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Chengzhang pulled Wen Xiuqing and slowly approached Lin Xuezhu.

Lin Chengyao and Jiang Qishuang followed closely behind.

Lin Chengzhang asked: "Daughter, did you just say that these people without clothes are official servants?"

Lin Xuezhu nodded, "I recognized a few of them. I saw them in Dali Temple."

Lin Chengzhang and Wen Xiuqing looked at each other, and they both Eyes filled with relief.

Lin Chengzhang said: "Daughter, you are better at not being frightened than your father."

When they were arrested, not to mention how panicked they were, their mood was also extremely complicated.

Who can spare the time to look at the officials of Dali Temple?

Lin Xuezhu was a little embarrassed when he was praised.

This exile exudes the feeling of spring outing, which is why she is not rigorous.

So, she brought out the improvised chicken soup with a serious face and said: "Dad, although exile is hard, but our whole family is together, I am not afraid at all."

Lin Chengzhang was so moved that he almost shed tears.

His spoiled daughter finally grew up.

The family gathered together again and said some cheering words to each other, and then heard the officer yell: "Return to the team, everyone, return to the team, and continue on the road."

Fortunately, Lin Chengzhang and others were not old and had nimble legs and feet.

Hearing the shout, they quickly returned to their original formation.

They had already traveled around the capital, but there was still half a day left before the one-day deadline set by the Dog Emperor.

After the escorting officers took them to the sunniest place, they all hid in the shade of the trees to eat.

At this time, the weakest Lin Jiayuan and the youngest Lin Yuxuan could no longer hold on.

Lin Jiayuan's face was pale and her breathing was rapid, as if she would pass out in minutes.

Lin Yuxuan's stomach growled with hunger and he did not dare to speak out loud. He just hugged his mother and sobbed in grievance.

They were pretty good, after all, they ate snacks and drank spiritual spring water the day before.

As for the direct descendants, except for the two aunts and Lin Shengjing who swallowed the black buns, the others only drank some dirty water. They were already exhausted and sat on the ground unable to lift their heads.

The moment of suffering for others is the moment when heroine Lin Xuelan's Virgin Mary's halo shines.

She used her last strength and said to the officer: "Master, please give me something to eat. If you continue like this, someone will die."

"What are you shouting for? I gave you food yesterday, but you didn't want to eat it yourself!" Did the officer lead? He angrily ordered his men: "Give them some water."

It was still the familiar dirty bucket and the familiar smell.

This time, the direct descendants were not picky and drank heavily.

When the bucket arrived at Lin Xuezhu, as usual, she took advantage of the official's unpreparedness and blatantly replaced the dirty water in it with spiritual spring water.

After drinking the spiritual spring water, Lin Jiayuan's complexion improved significantly.

The official gave the last remaining bowl of water to Mr. Lu.

Lu drank some of it himself and fed most of it to Yuan Xiu.

Lin Xuezhu looked at this scene, sighed, and said to his family: "Come on, come around, don't let anyone see you."

"Daughter, what's the matter?" Lin Chengzhang thought that his daughter had something confidential to discuss. , approached with great interest.

The others also moved their butts as instructed, surrounding the petite Lin Xuezhu.

Just listen to Lin Xuezhu say mysteriously: "Don't be too surprised, and don't make any noise. When I was walking down the street just now, I bought an elbow from a deli on the roadside."

As she said that, she touched three pieces of elbow from her sleeve. Come out and give it to Lin Yuxuan first.

Lin Yuxuan had been taught by Jiang Qishuang and knew that this matter should not be made public, so he took the elbow and showed it into his mouth without saying a word.

Lin Xuezhu gave Lin Jiayuan three more tablets. Lin Jiayuan pretended to wipe her face with her sleeves and quietly ate them.

Lin Xuezhu distributed the meat one after another, and everyone used various tricks to hide the meat and finished eating it.

Then, she took out the white-faced steamed buns she had saved yesterday and broke off a small piece each.

Although the portion of the food was not much, the oiliness of the elbow and the effect of the spiritual spring water were enough to sustain everyone for a while.

After everyone had finished eating, Lin Xuezhu obediently raised her hand and asked loudly: "Master, can I go see my husband?"

The officer commander found it troublesome and didn't want to agree at first, but when he saw Lin Xuezhu's big blinking eyes, he Somewhat soft-hearted.

An official came over, untied Lin Xuezhu's iron chains, took her to the prison car, said viciously: "Don't be so mean," and left.

Lin Xuezhu met Lu and smiled.

Holding Mrs. Lu's hand, she said with concern: "Aunt, I just saw that you didn't drink much water, and I'm really worried. My husband is important, and my aunt's body is also important. What if you get a heatstroke on such a hot day?"

Mrs. Lu only felt that her palms were greasy, and there were still some fleshy spots on them, and she frowned slightly.

When Lin Xuezhu let go of her hand, she looked down and realized that she was holding three pieces of elbow.

She quickly clenched her palms and covered them with her sleeves.

Lin Xuezhu was seen approaching Yuan Xiu's head again, reaching out a hand through the gap in the fence to touch Yuan Xiu's face.

Then, with extremely quick movements, he stuffed something into Yuan Xiu's mouth.

Chapter 15 Someone spent money to find someone to blame.

"What did you give Xiu'er to eat?" Ms. Lu immediately became wary.

"I asked Ma Xing to get the medicine for replenishing qi and blood." Lin Xuezhu answered naturally.

Anyway, everyone believed that she bribed Ma Xing, so she simply planted all the unexplainable things on him.

Mr. Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she found it incredible, she could not find any other explanation other than this answer.

As long as it was for Xiu'er's own good, she could turn a blind eye.

Lin Xuezhu gave Lu a deep look and said, "Don't worry, aunt, I've been taking care of your husband these days. It's not easy to cure him in the city. When he leaves the city and finds the herbs, my uncle will definitely cure him.

" After hearing this, I felt a little at ease.

But...

"Xue Zhu, we've been walking for a long time, why doesn't Xiu'er wake up at all?" Madam Lu asked worriedly.

The big noise just now failed to wake Yuan Xiu up, which made Lu somewhat suspicious that his injury had worsened.

Ahem.

Lin Xuezhu thought to himself: It may be that the effect of the imperial drug is too strong.

But he said: "After a person is injured, the body needs to repair, which is very energy-consuming. Wouldn't it be good for my husband to fall asleep, so as not to see this chaotic scene and cause unnecessary trouble."

Ms. Lu thought about it, and it was the same reason . , so he nodded in agreement.

At this time, the officials had finished their lunch and were about to go on parade again.

Lin Xuezhu was tied back to the end of the team.

She entered the space consciously, and read the secret scroll of Dali Temple from beginning to end again.

Parade for the second time, checking for gaps and making up for them.

Strive not to settle into one household, and wipe out all the bad guys' backgrounds.

While memorizing the list, I heard the sound of a noisy fight coming from the front.

Lin Xuezhu immediately became interested and stood on tiptoe to take a look.

It turned out that Guo and Wei Honger were fighting.

They saw Mrs. Guo slap Wei Hong'er several times in succession, and scolded her at the same time, "You are a heartless little whore. You still want to eat alone. Let's see if I don't beat you to death!"

Wei Hong'er used her left hand to parry, and her right hand pushed it into her mouth. Stuff it with something dark.

Lin Xuezhu instantly understood that it was the black buns that the distinguished Lin family refused to eat yesterday, and Wei Hong'er brought them out.

Everyone was hungry now. In order to replenish his strength, Wei Hong'er secretly ate black steamed buns. This happened after Mrs. Guo saw her.

Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but sigh, Wei Hong'er's will to survive was really strong.

I lived a good life when I was an aunt, but now that I am down and out, I can still eat black buns.

This movement quickly attracted official dispatches.

An official came forward, grabbed Guo's hair, pulled her away, and pulled her up with a big pen.

Guo was beaten so hard that she couldn't get up from her bed for a long time.

"What are you making a fuss about?" the officer asked angrily.

With tears in her eyes, Wei Hong'er said aggrievedly: "The buns that the official gave me yesterday, my mistress thought they were sour and refused to eat them. I took them out to eat, but my mistress beat me and said I was eating alone.

" Tian was already upset by Guo's molestation, and he even disliked her after hearing this.

He went up and kicked her again and scolded her: "If I find you restless again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

After saying that, before Guo could recover, he picked her up and stuffed her back into the street. in the team.

The prison car in front slowly started to move, and the people behind it had to keep up with the chain inside the chain.

Lin Xuezhu saw from a distance that Lin Xuelan and Lin Xueyi were supporting Guo on the left and right.

Others, including Lin Chengkun, didn't care about her life or death.

Oh, this is the human heart.

Lin Xuezhu sneered and ignored those people.

In the evening, the parade reached the city gate.

The people who were watching were finally allowed to go home.

There was a new batch of officers escorting the prisoners.

The shackles of Lin Xuezhu and others were checked one by one.

After confirmation, the two batches of officials were officially handed over, and the parade turned into an exile team.

After leaving the city, Lin Xuezhu saw several carriages pulling baggage parked far away from the city gate.

Near the carriage, there was another team with three times the number of people in their team.

They are probably friends who will go on the road together.

Lin Xuezhu didn't pay much attention at first, but as soon as he took a look, he saw three people in the team, waving in his direction with excitement.

I couldn't help but wonder - who is this, so optimistic and friendly, a foreigner?

When they got closer, they heard Lin Chengzhang ask in confusion: "Yan Da?"

Wen Xiuqing also said, "Mama Ma, Cui'er?"

Lin Xuezhu thought for a long time before remembering that the three members of the family were subordinates of the Lin Mansion. people.

"Why are you here?" Lin Chengzhang and Wen Xiuqing asked in unison.

Yan Da, who was tall and tall, smiled honestly when he heard this and said, "We gave the official some benefits and followed him."

Lin Xuezhu was stunned.

Even if these servants are sold, they will just find another job, which is much safer than being exiled.

Is there anyone who pays for it out of their own pocket?

These three people from the Yan family had to owe so much to her parents that they could do such a thing!

Lin Chengzhang also felt incredible and sighed: "You are confused."

Yan Da scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.

Mother Ma quickly said: "Master, there is no need to say more. The three of us in the family are used to serving the master and his wife. If we change to another family, we will get seriously ill. It is better to stay with the master and his wife and feel at ease."

This Aunt Ma was Lin Chengzhang's biological mother who worked as a foreigner back then. When they were married, Mr. Lin gave her a maid, and later she was betrothed to Yan Da, gave birth to Yan Cuier, and became Wen Xiuqing's personal maid. It can be said that she has been a migrant worker of the Lin family for generations.

Lin Chengzhang had deep feelings for their family, and he could only acquiesce to this fact when he heard this.

On the Lu family's side, they also "encountered" a young boy with a handsome face.

The young boy looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, his face is still a little childish, but his eyes have begun to take on a murderous edge.

Mrs. Lu looked at him, very surprised, "Lu Mo, didn't Xiu'er ask you to go back to your family?"

Lu Mo scratched the back of his head, feeling guilty but said firmly: "I have been following the prince since I was eight years old. Now that the prince is in trouble and he doesn't want to get me involved, how can I ignore him? So, I traveled day and night and returned to the capital to surrender."

As he said this, the young boy looked at Yuan Xiu who was unconscious in the prison car. His eyes were red.

"You stupid kid!" Mrs. Lu wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said, "It doesn't matter, since you have the intention, you can follow us to suffer hardships from now on. But now there is no prince, so you can call Xiu'er your cousin from now on. Yes."

When Lu Mo heard this, he nodded vigorously with his lowered head.

Not far away, Lin Xuezhu looked at this scene and smiled slightly.

Hey, young Lu Mo, a cousin of Yuan Xiu's mother's family and a die-hard fan of Yuan Xiu, is online. This big exiled family is becoming more and more lively.

Chapter 16: The Big Enemy Arrives

After the two exiled teams met, the official leader lectured everyone and ordered them to rest where they were.

The chains that originally connected everyone were untied, and everyone could move freely within the designated range.

Since he is in exile, he naturally does not receive such a good treatment as riding in a car.

Yuan Xiu was dragged off the prison cart by two officers and thrown to the ground casually.

Lu and Lu Mo both stepped forward to hug Yuan Xiu.

Lu's eyes were full of pleading, "Sir, Xiu'er can't walk, can you think of a way?"

The official said angrily: "You have to leave even if you can't walk. Do you think he is still a prince?"

Lu's face turned pale with anger . , and just as she was about to argue again, she heard Lin Xuezhu say: "Of course we can't trouble the official with this matter, we can just find a way ourselves."

After saying that, she pulled Lin Chengyao and walked over.

"Uncle, please check on my husband's injury," Lin Xuezhu said.

Lin Chengyao knelt down without saying a word. After just a few glances, he felt frightened.

This leg is completely useless.

Even if the patient is treated promptly and is properly cared for, he will still be left with a lifelong disability.

Not to mention that there is no such condition on the road of exile.

Is this really something an older brother can do to his younger brother?

Seeing that Lin Chengyao's eyes were red, Mrs. Lu was very anxious and asked, "Doctor Lin, how is Xiu'er?"

"I'll take another look." Lin Chengyao calmed down and put his hand on Yuan Xiu's pulse.

Then, his eyebrows skipped a beat, as if he was confused.

Mrs. Lu was extremely anxious and did not dare to disturb the doctor's consultation. She only grabbed her sleeve nervously.

After a while, Lin Chengyao said: "My niece-in-law has a strong body. Except for the injury on his leg, everything else is fine, which is lucky."

"What should I do about the injury on the leg?" Madam Lu asked quickly.

Lin Chengyao had no choice but to evade the important point and said: "The splint is fixed well. As long as you are careful on the road and don't aggravate the injury, it is still possible to recover."

When Lu heard this, he sneered, "How can we not aggravate the injury? Xiu'er has been injured. After being tortured to this point, those officials still force him to go on his way. Isn't this just to let him die!"

Indeed, the Dog Emperor just wanted Yuan Xiu to die.

Lin Xuezhu knows this better than anyone else.

It's just that the Dog Emperor doesn't want to do it himself, but wants to wait for the doglegs who are good at understanding his master's thoughts.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but sing an elegy to the Dog Emperor.

Yuan Xiu is the male protagonist. He has a halo. Not only can he not die, but he will drag you to feed the dogs sooner or later.

Therefore, people cannot be too greedy and cannot do bad things while also having a good reputation.

It's easy to kill yourself.

Lin Xuezhu sighed and shook his head. He naturally took out a bundle of hemp rope from his arms and handed it to Lin Chengyao's hand.

He patted Lu Mo's shoulder again and said, "Lu Mo, right? I'll take care of you as my husband from now on."

Lu Mo's face flushed at first, then he nodded in confusion but subconsciously.

Lin Chengyao was even more confused than Lu Mo and asked, "Where did this hemp rope come from?"

"It was fine on the street just now." Lin Xuezhu replied calmly.

Lin Chengyao wanted to ask again, how come you can do everything smoothly?

Before he could say anything, he was blocked by Lin Xuezhu, "Uncle, let's tie my husband to the back of little brother Lu Mo."

Lin Chengyao reacted for a while and said with a smile: "This is a good idea."

Just do it. Dry.

The uncle and nephew made a quick operation and tied Yuan Xiu's five-flowered dog to Lu Mo's back. His legs were stretched straight forward, and a rope was hung around Lu Mo's neck by his ankles.

The advantage of this is that no matter whether Lu Mo is standing or sitting, he will not touch Yuan Xiu's injured leg.

But the downside is that Yuan Xiu has become Lu Mo's semi-permanent pendant, and he has to carry it with him wherever he goes, and it also puts a lot of burden on his cervical spine.

Lu Mo had no complaints about this.

As long as he is good to his master, he can do anything.

Lin Xuezhu patted him on the shoulder and encouraged, "Hold on, we'll unload him when we set up camp."

"Don't worry, cousin, I will complete the task." Lu Mo blushed and agreed simply.

Mr. Lu was also very relieved to see that Lin Xuezhu had a solution when he encountered difficulties.

I couldn't help but sigh to myself: This girl's character is a bit out of the ordinary for a young lady in a boudoir.

But going into exile is not a cause for concern.

Lin Xuezhu settled Yuan Xiu, and returned to his team with Lin Chengyao one after another.

"How is my uncle?" Wen Xiuqing asked with concern.

Lin Chengyao stopped telling lies to his family and said honestly: "I'm afraid the broken leg will leave a disability."

Wen Xiuqing staggered and almost collapsed. Jiang Qishang helped her and said sadly: "Poor Our daughter, before she can live a good life with her husband, will..." She didn't have the courage to say the word "widow".

Lin Xuezhu, however, didn't take it seriously. He reached out and patted her mother's back, and said carelessly: "As long as our family is well, my husband, let me do everything I do and obey fate."

It is said that married daughters throw water, but Lin Xuezhu put the safety of her family before her husband.

Hearing this, Lin Chengzhang almost burst into tears, feeling moved that this daughter was not raised in vain.

What he didn't know was that Lin Xuezhu was more worried about himself than Yuan Xiu.

Even if she leaves it alone, after a while, Lin Xuelan will use her heroine's fate to find a miracle doctor for Yuan Xiu, and thus gain Yuan Xiu's favor.

When Yuan Xiu recovered from his injuries, it was the beginning of his blackening. From then on, he no longer had any compassion for anything in the world.

As for Lin Xuezhu in the original book, because she couldn't see the difference between life and death, she blindly acted as she wished, and even framed the heroine. She was hated by Yuan Xiu, and she eventually strangled her to death and abandoned her body in the mountains.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but shiver all over.

The reason why she is actively helping Yuan Xiu now is of course out of humanitarianism and she cannot ignore her death; but more importantly, she hopes that after Yuan Xiu turns black, he will remember the life-saving grace he once gave her and not strangle her to death. In the deep mountains.

Her starting point is so simple and boring.

Just when Lin Xuezhu was immersed in the plot, a familiar voice sounded from behind, "Ms. Lin."

Lin Xuezhu turned around and suddenly became happy, "Ma Xing, why are you here?"

Yes, yes, yes, it has been all these days. Here comes the big scapegoat who takes the blame for her.

Ma Xing chuckled and said in awe: "The jailer sent me to escort the prisoners and asked me to exercise."

In fact, I just wear small shoes, Lin Xuezhu secretly complained.

However, this is definitely a good thing for her.

Now that there is a big wronged person, in the future, all the unexplainable things in her space can be taken out secretly in the name of the big wronged person.

Tsk tsk, what does it mean to have someone behind your back to do things easily?

Didn't she just hug her on her lap?

Thinking like this, Lin Xuezhu reached out and touched her hair.

Amid everyone's surprised gazes, she took out an ingot of five taels of silver and stuffed it into Ma Xing's hand as if nothing had happened.

Chapter 17 Have you ever thought that you might have an exile constitution

? Ma Xing was the first prisoner to be escorted into exile. He had never seen such a showy operation before and was a little stunned for a moment.

When he came to his senses, he quickly refused, "Ms. Lin, you can't do this."

"It's not for you alone." Lin Xuezhu showed an experienced look, "This is for all the hard-working officials to buy tea. , please transfer it to me."

Ma Xing understood instantly and nodded repeatedly.

Mrs. Lin still has the foresight.

"I'll go right away." After Ma Xing finished speaking, he grabbed the silver and ran away quickly.

After a while, the officials carried buckets and began to distribute food to everyone.

One black bun per person.

When it was sent to Lin Xuezhu, two extra white-flour steamed buns were given.

Mrs. Guo saw this scene and immediately shouted at the top of her voice, "Master, why do they have steamed buns to eat?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" The official swung his whip angrily.

Mrs. Guo immediately fell silent, staring at the official with only one pair of eyes.

She discovered that not only Lin Xuezhu got the steamed buns, but also some people in the team got them too.

So, she went to a house and quietly inquired about it.

When she came back, her face was unhappy.

"What's wrong?" Lin Chengkun didn't like her expression and asked impatiently.

Guo glanced at the old lady resentfully and said, "I heard them say that after exiled people leave the city, their relatives are allowed to visit. If you stuff some money at this time, the officials will turn a blind eye. "Mom, didn't you say that someone would give us money? Look, people who are on official duties are eating white steamed buns, and we still have to eat these black steamed buns."

This made the old lady feel sad. Bottomless.

The confidant she let out was an old man who had been with her for decades, so she should be trustworthy.

But now, her whole family is being exiled, and she is afraid that she will never be able to return to the capital in this life.

If Bao Buqi, that old guy wanted to take over her village for himself, how could he come to give her money? !

The old lady did not reply to Guo's words, but secretly clenched her fists.

Lin Xuelan said: "Mom, let's not say such things now. Although this black bun is hard to swallow, it can satisfy our hunger, so let's eat it."

After saying that, she took the lead and took a bite . .

Ouch, this smell is simply indescribable.

But she had been hungry for several days, and if she didn't eat, she might not survive the rest of the way.

I could only endure my nausea and finished the black steamed buns without any hesitation.

Others were in a similar situation to her.

At this point, no matter how pretentious you are, you have to save your life first.

So, each held his nose and stuffed it into his mouth.

Completely different from their miserable appearance, the Lin family looked happy and happy.

After eating the white steamed buns separately, Jiang Qishuang smelled the black steamed buns and said optimistically: "This is different from the ones in the prison. It's still very fresh and should be edible."

Lin Chengyao immediately followed her husband and said, "We just On the road, the food should be the freshest, so eat it quickly."

Lin Chengzhang took a bite of the black steamed buns, then drank a sip of the water Lin Xuezhu asked the official for, and said with a smile: "This water is so delicious, even the steamed buns are delicious. It's become sweeter."

"Really? I'll try it too." Wen Xiuqing followed suit and nodded, "It's really become sweeter."

She handed the water bowl to Lin Jiayuan.

Lin Jiayuan took a sip silently, and then showed a very restrained smile.

Lin Xuezhu looked at them enjoying themselves, and one of them couldn't bear it, so he took out a roast chicken from his pocket.

In the shocked eyes of the whole family, she said calmly: "Ma Xing secretly stuffed it into me just now. Don't let anyone see it. Eat it quickly."

I'm sorry Ma Xing, I'm going to let you take the blame even before we set off.

Except for the newly joined Yan Da family, everyone else is already somewhat used to Lin Xuezhu's practice of taking something out of his pocket from time to time.

Hearing this, he quickly narrowed the circle of encirclement, blocked the eyes of the outside world with his body, and started eating in silence.

After finishing, everyone wiped their greasy lips and made a nonchalant expression.

Lin Chengzhang, in particular, lamented that the black steamed buns were a bit dry while trying to cover up, while burying the chicken bones under the guise of being courteous.

Yan Da's family, who was determined not to eat with their master, ate the unfinished black buns.

Anyway, everyone is full.

At this time, Liu Kui, the leader of the official mission, stood up and asked, "Have you met your relatives? You will be on your way after the meeting."

Lin Xuezhu secretly laughed, thinking that they were deliberately waiting for money here.

Unfortunately, no one from the Lin family came to see him off.

It's even more impossible for Yuan Xiu. All his clan members are in the palace.

Liu Kui glanced at the crowd, waved his hand and said: "Open the way."

Then an official came with a whip and urged the prisoners to get up.

Lin Xuezhu helped Wen Xiuqing and Lin Jiayuan up one by one.

Lin Chengzhang naturally walked together with Wen Xiuqing.

Lin Chengyao and Jiang Qishuang were holding hands as always, seemingly forgetting that they also have a five-year-old son, Lin Yuxuan.

Seeing how the little guy tried to strike up a conversation with his parents but couldn't find a chance, Lin Xuezhu could only hold his hand in a funny way.

"Xiao Xuanxuan, your parents are too disgusting. From now on, you can hang out with your sister and aunt."

She deliberately spoke loudly, and saw Lin Chengyao and Jiang Qishuang pause for a moment, then both looked back, looking apologetically. She glanced.

Well, if we don't say we'll take the child back, does that mean we'll let her take care of it?

Lin Xuezhu waved her hands to the couple and motioned for them to continue.

Then he held Lin Yuxuan in one hand and Lin Jiayuan in the other, and took on the responsibility of taking care of the sick and young.

Lin Jiayuan was a little embarrassed at first. She tugged on Lin Xuezhu's sleeve and whispered, "Xuezhu, you don't have to worry about me. I can persist."

Even she was surprised. It was clear that when she was arrested yesterday, she had already Feeling obviously exhausted.

I thought I would hold everyone back today, but after walking for a whole day, I felt no other reaction except being a little tired.

She quietly told Lin Xuezhu about this.

Of course, Lin Xuezhu couldn't tell her that it was the effect of spiritual spring water.

He just joked: "Auntie, have you ever thought that you might have an exile constitution?"

Lin Jiayuan didn't understand and subconsciously repeated, "Exile constitution?"

Lin Xuezhu explained with a smile: "It means that you are usually fine. When the time comes for you to be sick and tired, nothing will happen to you."

Lin Jiayuan believed it and asked, "Do you really have such a constitution?"

Lin Xuezhu continued to joke, "How many more days can you go?" Pinpin. "

This aunt is a pitiful person.

If you have a bad constitution since childhood, your personality will not be very cheerful.

When he grew up, it was the old lady's decision to marry a poor scholar with no virtue.

After being cheated out of her dowry, she was abandoned on the grounds that she could not have children and returned to the Lin Mansion in disgrace.

From then on, she became even more depressed and dressed up like a widow all day long.

Chapter 18 Reasonable Suspicion: The bad guys are trying to cause trouble.

Lin Xuezhu recalled Lin Jiayuan's life experience and couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.

Some men do make people unhappy.

For example, Lin Jiayuan's ex-husband.

For example, his nominal husband Yuan Xiu.

This guy clearly has a pretty face, but he has developed a black heart.

She looked at it with envy, but she could only stay away.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuezhu melancholy picked up a handful of branches on the roadside and made a basket with them.

Hey, what are you daydreaming about?

Wake up, we are in exile!

Men cannot affect her will to live!

After a while, the small bucket-like basket was woven.

Lin Xuezhu walked to Lin Chengyao and handed the basket over. Mo De said emotionally: "Uncle, take this basket and collect the medicine first. When you encounter the necessary medicine for exile such as colds, diarrhea and bruises, you can collect it first. I'll find a more suitable rattan later and weave a big basket for you."

After thinking about it, he added, "Don't be soft-hearted if you encounter precious medicinal materials. Our family's first pot of gold depends on you. "

Lin Chengyao was shocked.

Has the eldest niece made arrangements for him now?

To be honest, in the past few days from being arrested by officials to going into exile, although he was calm on the outside, he was actually quite panicked on the inside.

If he hadn't married a good wife and cheered each other up along the way, he would have been crying right now.

And his eldest niece actually got into the mood so quickly.

Is this really his spoiled and willful eldest niece?

Lin Chengyao took the small basket in a daze and carried it on his back subconsciously.

He couldn't help but lament in his heart that his thirty years of life were in vain, and he still had to let a teenage girl worry about the whole family.

Before he could digest the complicated emotions in his heart, he heard his wife Jiang Qishuang say: "Niece, weave a basket for me. I also know the medicinal materials."

Well, the wife was also in the mood.

Lin Chengyao stabilized his mind and secretly made up his mind that he must cheer up and not hold back his eldest niece and wife.

Having made up his mind, Lin Chengyao immediately shot his eyes in all directions.

Lin Xuezhu saw her uncle's renewed spirit and winked at Jiang Qishuang with a smile, "Auntie, don't worry, it's such a heavy thing to do when carrying a heavy load, but men come first. I'll weave a basket for my father first so that he won't be idle."

Lin Chengzhang Hearing this, she smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, my eldest daughter. You are really a filial daughter."

Seeing Lin Xuezhujing assigning work to the master and his wife, Ma Ma felt uneasy and said quickly: "Miss Xuezhu, if you have any work, let us do it." Let's do it."

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."

After saying this, Lin Xuezhu said: "Uncle Yan, help me take care of my husband. He has difficulty walking and needs someone to carry him."

"Okay, I'll go there now . . "Yan Da is strong and likes to do work that requires little effort.

After receiving the order, he ran to Madam Lu and explained the reason seriously.

After hearing this, Mr. Lu nodded slightly to Lin Xuezhu.

Although this girl is often out of tune, she really has a good heart for Xiu'er.

Lu Mo knew that his cousin-in-law sent someone to relieve him of his burden, so he blushed and smiled shyly at Lin Xuezhu.

Lin Xuezhu also smiled and waved in response.

After that, he continued to make arrangements: "Mama Ma and Cui'er, you go find some tough grass and knit a pair of straw sandals for each of us as soon as possible. Knit it a little tighter and wear it outside the cloth shoes. We'll finish knitting later. , and make a few more pairs for Lu Mo and Uncle Yan."

"Okay." The experienced Mother Ma understood Lin Xuezhu's intention immediately.

Straw shoes are both wear-resistant and non-slip, making them more suitable for walking than the coarse cloth shoes they wear.

But the feet of gentlemen and ladies are very thin and tender, so wearing straw sandals will abrade them.

So the best way is to wear straw sandals outside coarse cloth shoes.

If your straw sandals are worn out, you can replace them at any time, so you don't have to worry about running out of shoes.

Mother Ma couldn't help but sigh, Miss Xuezhu is really a smart and kind girl.

Lin Xuezhu, a smart and kind boy, didn't stop talking while she made another small basket and handed it to Lin Chengzhang.

He said: "Dad, look at the weather, the steamed buns brought by the officials will go rancid in two days. Take this basket and pick out the edible ones when you see them. Our family's food depends on you."

All of a sudden . Taking on the responsibility of providing food for the whole family, Lin Chengzhang suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

But his sense of responsibility as the boss made him willing to take over this important task.

Fortunately, he has lived a hard life and is not a pampered young man.

The common sense of life is not easy to grasp, but it will not be a hindrance.

Lin Jiayuan saw that everyone else had jobs and didn't want to be left behind, so she asked: "Xue Zhu, is there anything I can do?"

Lin Xuezhu had already thought of it for her, so she said, "Auntie, come with me. Knit something, and take a rest if you feel tired."

He said and gave her a small bundle of willow branches.

Lin Jiayuan was very knowledgeable and started learning immediately.

She is ingenious and good at women's work, and she also learned how to weave baskets.

The two of them worked together, and by nightfall, the whole family had a basket.

Even Lin Yuxuan got his special small basket and carried it on his back to step on wild flowers.

Lin Xuezhu did not stop him.

Material life is as important as spiritual life.

Although her space has all kinds of supplies, she still has to arrange work for everyone in the family.

Because only by doing things can people cheer up.

Seeing the family hanging at the end of the queue, looking for supplies seriously, Lin Xuezhu hummed a ditty with satisfaction.

At this time, the team slowly stopped.

Lin Xuezhu observed the surrounding environment and felt that it was not suitable for setting up camp.

Could something have happened?

She quickly called Lin Yuxuan back, spoke to her parents, and quickly rushed to the front of the team.

As she passed, she saw a carriage parked not far away.

An old woman stood beside the carriage and was talking to Liu Kui.

After a while, Liu Kui asked his men to take the carriage away.

Then, he turned around and shouted to everyone: "Get on the road and walk another mile before we rest."

Lin Xuezhu was wondering who this old woman was when she heard an old and excited voice coming from behind.

"Aunt Yu, you're finally here!"

Lin Xuezhu heard the familiar voice and turned to look. He saw the old lady pushing through the crowd and rushing left and right.

That aura was worthy of her pampered body.

Oh, this is so damn plump.

Lin Xuezhu remembered that this old woman was Grandma Yu who had followed the old lady for many years.

Many of the shameful deeds in the Lin Mansion in the past were the work of this nanny.

But according to the plot in the book, Grandma Yu gave the old lady money when they were leaving the city.

And the heroine's family also lived a relatively comfortable life in exile because of this money.

However, the person who should have appeared outside the city gate appeared here at this time.

Lin Xuezhu reasonably suspected that the bad guys were trying to add to the drama.

Chapter 19: So old yet so naive, what an old Beibi

. Sure enough, the old lady and Aunt Yu first staged a touching drama of a master-servant meeting.

Then, in full view of everyone, Aunt Yu said very kindly: "Thank you for your hard work, our old lady's village is nearby. Please go and stay in the village tonight."

She had obviously made a good fight with Liu Kui. call.

The reason why I have to tell everyone is to let everyone remember the old lady's kindness.

This trick worked quite well, and someone immediately expressed their gratitude to the old lady.

After all, who wants to sleep in the wilderness if they can have a roof to protect them from the wind and rain?

At this time, the old lady straightened her back, like a statue receiving worship from believers.

If you could ignore the fact that she was shackled from head to toe.

Nanny Yu, on the other hand, scanned the crowd with her ordinary eyes. When she paused on Lin Xuezhu's face, there was a hint of ridicule and provocation.

Lin Xuezhu looked at her calmly, with no emotion in his eyes.

After a while, Grandma Yu looked away.

What's going on? She's weak?

She actually lost to a yellow-haired girl!

Aunt Yu looked at the old lady in confusion.

But the old lady was still enjoying the feeling of being supported and did not notice her subtle psychological changes.

Grandma Yu had no choice but to swallow her breath first.

Damn girl, when she gets to Zhuangzi, she won't be able to control her!

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Lin Xuelan walking over with a smile on her face.

Grandma Yu immediately put on a loving look, called out, "My eldest lady!" and hugged Lin Xuelan in her arms.

At this moment, Mrs. Guo had already run to the old lady's side and took her mother-in-law's arm affectionately.

Lin Chengkun also felt as if he had just received chicken blood, and his whole body became energetic.

Except for these few who were overly expressive, the behavior of others was much more normal.

At the greeting of the official, everyone opened the way.

Lin Xuezhu returned to the end of the team and roughly explained the whole story.

Others were fine, but Lin Chengyao snorted disdainfully.

Lin Xuezhu keenly caught his uncle's expression and smiled secretly without saying anything.

About one stick of incense later, Zhuangzi arrived.

Lin Xuezhu looked at the acres of farmland in front of and behind the house, as well as the simple yet elegant courtyard in the middle.

I couldn't help but secretly admire: This Zhuangzi's annual harvest should be considerable.

Lin Chengkun is such a prodigal, and the old lady can still save such a fortune. It seems that she has really used her brains.

It's a pity that it's not something from a serious source, and it can't be warmed even if you hold it in your hand.

Lin Xuezhu remained calm and walked into the small courtyard hanging at the end of the team, watching with cold eyes as Grandma Yu was busy coming and going.

Although Liu Kui smiled and accepted Grandma Yu's sincerity, he did not lose his guard.

He sent people to watch carefully the whole process when Nanny Yu started allocating rooms.

The rooms given to officials are naturally the best.

The old lady's family was assigned to the most secluded room.

Other prisoners, including Yuan Xiu and others, were given corresponding rooms.

In the end, only Lin Xuezhu's family was left.

Aunt Yu forced out a false smile and said: "Second Master, I'm sorry, we really don't have any room. How about you guys squeeze in the woodshed?"

Lin Chengzhang frowned slightly when he heard this, and said with an indifferent expression. Thank you.

I don't want to say another word.

Over the years, he remembered his father's kindness in nurturing him and took care of his aunt's family's life regardless of past grudges.

He didn't expect that his family would behave like this once he was in trouble.

Even though he had no expectations of human nature, he couldn't help but be disappointed.

Aunt Yu was too lazy to hide the meanness on her face, and deliberately raised her voice: "Then the old slave will take the second master to the woodshed personally."

She did this to let everyone understand that she, and the old lady, did not want to see Lin. Into them.

If anyone wants to curry favor with the old lady, they will naturally know what to do.

It's a pity that her methods were noticed by Lin Xuezhu, but she didn't take it to heart.

She even wanted to tell the old guy that fighting at home would not work on the road to exile.

Because people who play house fighting are full and have nothing to do.

As for the exiled prisoners, they don't even have enough to eat, so who has the heart to do so much extravagant work!

Seeing Grandma Yu thinking she was very cunning, she proudly led them to a woodshed that didn't even have a place to stay.

Lin Xuezhu could only sigh, he is still so naive at such an old age, what an old man!

In order to prevent anyone from escaping, the official took out the iron chain again, tied Lin Xuezhu's family together, and locked them to the window grille of the woodshed.

Grandma Yu was very satisfied with this operation and even had the illusion of being superior to others.

He expressed his warm condolences to the officials more and more, saying thank you for your hard work.

Lin Xuezhu was impatient to watch Old Beibi's performance, and her consciousness had already entered the space to look for the lock-picking tool.

After the officer locked the door and left, she took out a silver needle and easily loosened the lock while the whole family looked at her in surprise and shock.

Then, she calmly glanced at everyone and said: "Hurry up, otherwise there will be no place to sleep at night."

Seeing that no one responded, she started to demonstrate directly, picked up a bundle of firewood from the top of the firewood pile, and dropped them one by one on the ground. put.

Didn't she have a room? She could just build a tatami by herself.

With so much wood, why don't you worry about having no place to sleep?

After her reminder, everyone else suddenly realized and started to take action.

Seeing that everyone was doing their own thing and inevitably bumping into each other in the small space, Lin Xuezhu quickly stopped.

The assembly line is more conducive to improving work efficiency.

She simply divided the labor, letting Lin Chengzhang and Lin Chengyao be responsible for carrying the firewood, Wen Xiuqing, Jiang Qishuang, Ma Ma and Cui'er were responsible for delivering it, and she, Lin Jiayuan and Lin Yuxuan were responsible for laying the floor.

In this way, everyone lined up in the small woodshed, each performing their duties, and gradually there was a tacit understanding of cooperation.

Jiang Qishuang started to joke as she became more relaxed with her work.

She joked: "My eldest niece, your little brain is so clever and you have so many tricks. Who did you learn this from?"

In one sentence, the whole family's doubts were raised.

In the past few days, they had seen Lin Xuezhu playing tricks frequently, looking completely different from before, and they were all curious about who she learned it from.

It was just that they were in a hurry and had no chance to ask clearly, which frustrated them.

Now someone finally asked the question. Although the work in their hands had not stopped, they all concentrated and held their breath, wanting to hear how Lin Xuezhu would answer.

Lin Xuezhu was actually prepared.

Hearing this, he looked proud and said: "Have you all forgotten who my husband is? My husband is the general who protects the country in the north and south! He sat in this position at a young age, how can he be an ordinary person? I Just looking at the letters he has written over the years is enough to make half a general, so what are the little troubles we have encountered? "

Hehe, the second one is responsible for taking the blame for these weird little tricks . The number appeared!

Chapter 20 It's her, it's her, it's her.

After hearing Lin Xuezhu's answer, our old enemy family all chose to remain silent.

After a long while, Lin Chengzhang asked: "Although what you said makes sense, my uncle's note also taught you how to pick a lock?"

Lin Xuezhu paused in placing the firewood, looked at her father very seriously and said: "You don't have to use some skills, but you have to learn them. After all, they can save your life at critical moments."

When she said this, Lin Chengzhang felt that it made sense, so he nodded thoughtfully.

Lin Xuezhu hurriedly changed the subject, "Come on, let's move quickly. Once we're done, we'll take the time to rest."

Everyone quickly speeded up, and soon the firewood pile was leveled to the ground.

There happened to be hay for starting the fire in the woodshed, so I spread it directly on it and used it as a mattress.

After cleaning up, everyone lay down comfortably, and the more anxious ones quickly fell asleep.

Mother Ma and Cui'er guarded the door to warn the officers when they patrolled.

Lin Xuezhu was confused when she heard a bustling sound coming from outside.

She opened the window and saw that it was Grandma Yu who was making arrangements to deliver meals to each house.

Just don't come to this woodshed, making it clear that they can hear but not eat.

childish!

Lin Xuezhu turned over and took the time to sleep.

When she woke up, she found that the lights in the village had been turned off and everything was dark.

She geared up, took out her little silver needle, and gently unlocked the door.

"Miss Xuezhu, what are you going to do?" Mother Ma felt light-headed and opened her eyes immediately after hearing the voice.

"Shh-" Lin Xuezhu gestured, "I'm going out to take a look, please don't make any noise."

Mother Ma wanted to stop her, but she didn't, so she could only guard the door in fear.

Lin Xuezhu didn't slip far when she spotted the figure of Grandma Yu.

I saw Grandma Yu sneaking around to the backyard and gently knocking on the window of a room.

The window opened with a creak, revealing half of the old lady's face.

Grandma Yu held a small bundle and stuffed it into the window with difficulty.

He whispered softly: "Master, this old slave has made you some clothes, with a thousand taels of silver notes sewn into them. There are also ten packages of broken silver, with ten taels in each package, for you to take care of the officials along the way. ."

The old lady inside said: "Mother Yu, please worry, I did not misjudge you after all."

Mother Yu was so excited that her voice was filled with tears, "Master, please take care of yourself when you go, old slave . I'm incompetent and can't accompany my master anymore."

After that, there was another long-winded instructions.

Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but yawn.

Just as he was about to go somewhere else, he heard Grandma Yu suddenly change her tone and say: "As for that little bitch's family, the old slave has arranged for them to be stunned and sent out through the back door later. Humph, how dare an exiled prisoner Even if they have great abilities, they can't escape death. As long as they die, the master and Yuan Xiu will have nothing to do with each other. Maybe the emperor's kindness can save the master and his family. "

Listen . Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but shudder at Mammy Yu's sinister tone.

This old Beibi has such a vicious heart!

In this way, she doesn't have to be merciful.

Lin Xuezhu smiled slightly, ducked into the darkness...

Early in the morning, a broken voice screamed like a mourner, "The official is in trouble, someone has run away."

Liu Kui sat up in shock in his sleep, She rushed into the yard with a messy chicken coop on her head, and yelled at Grandma: "Who ran away?"

Grandma Yu's face was full of fear, and her fingers like dead branches pointed at the woodshed tremblingly.

Liu Kui immediately rushed over with his men.

Sure enough, one of the wooden fences on the window of the woodshed was broken, the door was pried open, and there was nothing inside.

"Who lives in this woodshed?" Liu Kui blushed with anger.

The subordinates were also frightened, and after a long time they murmured: "Just Mrs. Lin's family."

Lin Xuezhu?

Liu Kui clenched his back teeth in hatred and ordered: "Count the number of people, quickly!"

The officials immediately dispersed and quickly went to each house to pick up people.

Ma Xing was the most anxious. He didn't believe that Mrs. Lin could be so stupid and run away despite the risk of being beheaded.

But, what about people?

"The lock on this room has been picked open," someone shouted.

Ma Xing ran over quickly and kicked open the door.

Then, Lin Xuezhu, who was mid-yawning, made eye contact.

"Ms. Lin!" Ma Xing's heart finally fell to the ground.

"Master, what happened?" Lin Xuezhu looked confused and pulled all the family members around him to their feet.

Several officials were also at a loss.

They clearly remembered that this family was assigned to the woodshed. Why did they appear here?

Ma Xing reacted quickly and said quickly: "Take the people out first and count them. Maybe there are others who escaped."

After hearing this, several officials took the people to the yard with iron chains.

Lin Xuezhu saw at a glance the ghostly look in Nanny Yu's eyes when she looked at her.

He suppressed his laughter and greeted everyone in a very friendly manner.

Liu Kui also saw her, with an expression that said "I don't understand" on his face, and asked viciously: "What's going on? Don't you live in a woodshed? How did you get in?"

Lin Xuezhu straightened the broken pieces in front of her forehead . He said calmly: "Last night, Aunt Yu came to call us and said that there was still a room for us to stay in. We wanted to say hello to you, Guan Ye, but Aunt Yu said that you were all asleep. No need to bother. Just let someone cut off the wooden fence on the window and take us out.

"You're talking nonsense!" Grandma Yu's mind was buzzing.

She couldn't figure it out, how could this bitch make up such nonsense?

Lin Xuezhu blinked her big innocent eyes and said innocently, "I didn't lie. Our whole family can testify."

After she finished speaking, Lin Chengzhang and others nodded.

It's her, it's her, it's her, our old enemy.

Liu Kui went completely crazy. He stared hard at the crowd and shouted, "Where is the main culprit? Is the main culprit still there?"

Lin Xuezhu knew that he was referring to Yuan Xiu.

To put it bluntly, no matter how many other prisoners escaped, as long as he kept an eye on Yuan Xiu, he could save his life.

This Liu Kui is not an idiot.

"Master, we are here." Yan Da's voice sounded.

He and Lu Mo had agreed that one person would carry Yuan Xiu for a day, and today it was his turn.

Therefore, no matter how much the officials urged him, he insisted on carrying Yuan Xiu on his back meticulously before walking out.

Seeing that Yuan Xiu was still there, Liu Kui breathed a sigh of relief and yelled, "Has everyone arrived?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Grandma Yu had already noticed it.

The old guy screamed in despair, covered his face, and sat down on the ground.

When Ma Xing saw this, he felt suspicious and quickly scanned all the prisoners.

Confirming his suspicions, he hurried to Liu Kui's side and lowered his voice: "Boss, Mrs. Lin's family is missing."
