All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

Even if he really had to die, he wanted Xia Chan, that vicious woman, to die before him.

Zhu Qiang thought to himself.

Xia Chan didn't have time to care what he was thinking. She curled her lips, threw the knife in her hand to Zhu Qiang, turned around and left the inn where the fire was raging.

I originally thought that I would follow the exile team and be exiled to Lingnan.

But after discussing with Xie Lin, she felt that they were prisoners everywhere, so why should they be exiled with this group of people?

Wouldn't it be better to go to the war-torn area and take the opportunity to set out with the refugees who have left their homes because of the rebellion?

It is much better to blend in with the refugees than with the criminals.

At least free.

And they don't always live under the supervision of officers and soldiers.

Don't worry about losing your head at any time.

Isn’t this better?

It’s just that they have just left the team for a few days, so they may need to hide from some people.

Other people might be a little worried, worrying about having nothing to eat and freezing to death at night, but the summer cicada is not worried.

Even if she hadn't unlocked the pedestrian street yet, she could still survive for a while with the rice and flour she had collected from the Xie family's kitchen.

So don't worry at all.

Xia Chan came out of the post station and chased after the Xie family members who had left earlier.

Just after walking a distance forward, I met Xie Lin coming towards me.

"How are you?"

Xie Lin came up to her with some worry in his eyes.

Visibility was poor at night and his voice was calm, but his eyes betrayed him.

The summer cicada is in a good mood.

"I'm fine. Where are grandma and the others? Let's go."

"it is good."

Xie Lin led Xia Chan forward, and after turning a corner, they met up with the Xie family who had evacuated earlier.

The shackles and handcuffs on their hands and feet had already been undone by Xia Chan in advance.

After Xie Lin came back from setting the fire, she asked Xie Lin to take his men to retreat first while she would deal with some things later.

Although the people from the Xie family left first, they were still worried about Xia Chan's safety.

So when they walked to this corner, they hurriedly urged Xie Lin to go back and pick up Xia Chan.

What the old lady meant was that Xia Chan was married into the Xie family in a formal ceremony with a sedan chair carried by eight people.

Although it was a mistake, Xia Chan had already appeared in front of the ancestors of the Xie family.

Xia Chan is Xie Lin's daughter-in-law, recognized by both her ancestors and herself.

If Xie Lin doesn't want to admit it, then he is not a child of the Xie family.

"grandmother……"

Xie Lin was somewhat helpless, "Don't say that."

"How else can I say this?"

The old lady is in her sixties. Although she has suffered a series of blows, she sees hope. No, I should say, there is still hope.

Because she still had hope and spiritual support, she did not fall.

On the contrary, the spirit is quite good.

The same is true for other members of the Xie family.

They were all in good spirits, and the elderly, the weak, women and children all expressed the same opinion as the old lady.

That is, they recognize and only recognize Xia Chan as the daughter-in-law of their Xie family.

Even Xie Su, who usually paid little attention to it, showed the same firm attitude this time.

Xie Lin was very helpless.

He didn't say he wouldn't marry Xia Chan.

Their family's current conditions are simply not worthy of her.

She was such a delicate and noble lady, but now she was mixed up with a prisoner like him...

Xie Lin didn't know where the future lay.

He also didn't want Xia Chan to suffer with him.

"San'er, come with me."

The old lady took Xie Lin aside, said a few words to him, and then came back.

After she came back, Xie Lin's expression changed obviously.

He raised his foot to look for Xia Chan.

Something slowly took root in his heart.

And when Xie Lin saw Xia Chan just now, the seeds that his grandmother had planted in his heart not only took root but also quickly sprouted.

Yes, why should he belittle himself?

Before the Xie family was wronged and before he fell from his horse, their family was also a well-known and prominent family!

Even he himself is not bad.

With my status at that time, it was acceptable for me to match Xia Chan.

Although he no longer has the power and wealth that his ancestors of the Xie family had obtained, he has woken up from his coma.

Since Miss Xia had become his wife by accident, why should he always feel that he was not worthy of her?

He would be sorry for Xia Chan who trusted him if he kept belittling himself, but he could not change the facts.

Since Miss Xia is of such a noble status, let her conquer the world and give her the highest position...

……

I don’t know if it was Xia Chan’s illusion, but I always felt as if Xie Lin’s gaze was always on me intentionally or unintentionally.

After she looked over, he quickly looked away.

Summer Cicada: ???

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, are we really going to the mountains?"

Xie Yunying, who was walking behind, ran up briskly, took Xia Chan's arm and asked.

Xia Chan withdrew his thoughts and hummed.

"We have to go to the mountains. We don't have the documents to pass the customs, and we are too big a target. If we don't go through the mountains, it will be difficult to escape the pursuit of the soldiers."

The news of Xie Lin's awakening will definitely spread after dawn.

By then, no matter whether it is the emperor, the prince, or the masterminds who planned the Xie family's rebellion, they will definitely not let Xie Lin live.

Entering the mountains is their only hope.

The mountains were high and the forests were dense; they could just hide in a tree or hide in a cave and the people chasing them would lose sight of them.

As for food and drink, don't worry.

No living person has ever been suffocated to death by urine, and Xia Chan will not starve to death with the space he has.

"Are there any ferocious beasts in the mountains, sister-in-law?"

Xie Yunyao also asked.

They are all just girls in their teens, which means they are all little sisters to Xia Chan, who has lived in modern times for more than 20 years.

In modern times, she is a little girl who has just entered junior high school.

Well, although their current identities are still sisters, this has two meanings.

Xia Chan has always been very patient with the sweet and soft little girl.

"Maybe, but don't worry, your third brother is here."

She paused for a moment and continued, "Eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are also martial artists. Yunying and Yunyao have also practiced martial arts. You don't have to be afraid of wild animals."

The second sister-in-law on the side smiled and said, "Yes, compared to wild beasts, humans are more terrifying."

"Second sister-in-law is right."

Xia Chan took the opportunity to give some scientific advice to the little girls who were looking after her (including the two daughters of her eldest and second sister-in-law).

"Beasts will show their likes and dislikes directly without pretending, but humans cannot."

“Humans are the best at disguising themselves. It takes us a lifetime to discover the badness of some people.”

"Your third sister-in-law is right."

The old lady walking with a cane also chimed in.

"People's hearts are hidden in their belly. Don't just be fooled by appearances. You must seriously feel the other person's heart to know whether they are black or red."

Xia Chan agreed with the old lady's words.

She nodded and said to the children around her: "We must learn to see the essence through the phenomenon."

"Sister-in-law, what does it mean to see the essence through phenomena?"

Xie Yunying asked.

The others also looked at Xia Chan, and even Xie Lin's gaze fell on her.

She raised her head and met his gaze.
