The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile
Chapter 19 Going up the mountain to find food
Seeing that she couldn't get any benefits from her, Zhang turned her attention to Qin.
Qin has a soft personality and is easy to control, otherwise she wouldn't have allowed Aunt Zhao to ride on her head for so many years.
If the old princess hadn't stopped her, the power of housekeeper in the palace would have fallen into the hands of Aunt Zhao.
She walked to Qin's side, tears in her eyes, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, I don't know how I offended Ruoyi. She treats me so badly. It's fine if she doesn't give me food, but what should I do if I don't have insoles when walking on this mountain road?"
Qin looked at Shang Ruoyi in embarrassment. Seeing that she had no intention of intervening, she had to look away and looked at Zhang who was crying on the side. Just as she was about to take out the extra pairs of insoles that Shang Ruoyi had given her, she saw a pair of jade hands reaching out from the side and holding her down: "Mother, Second Aunt said that the mountain road is rugged. We don't know how far we have to walk. With these few insoles, we don't have enough!"
He Yunyi leaned over to Qin's ear and whispered, "Have you forgotten how your second aunt bullied you? She came to our palace all day to ask for money and even wanted to take your dowry. It's not worth it to offend your sister-in-law because of this kind of person."
Qin looked at her daughter in surprise. When did she start to talk so much? And she was so organized and saw things more clearly than her mother.
Zhang didn't hear what He Yunyi said to Qin, but it was definitely not something good.
Qin looked at her and said in a deep voice: "Yunyi is right. We don't know how long the mountain road will take. I really can't give you this insole. Otherwise, go ask your third brother's wife."
Upon hearing this, Zhang was immediately furious. She pointed at Qin and said loudly, "Qin, I respectfully call you sister-in-law, but now my elder brother is about to be sent to the guillotine, and your son is also lame, and now you are still here to make trouble for me? I'm telling you, if you need anything from our family in the future, don't expect us to help you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang cried out "Ouch".
A stone hit the back of Zhang's outstretched hand.
The wound immediately turned black and blue.
"Who? Who hit me?" Zhang covered her injured hand and cried out in pain.
He Jingheng raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Shang Ruoyi who looked as if it had nothing to do with her, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
He put down the dead branch in his hand and continued to close his eyes and rest.
Not only did Zhang not get the insole, she also hurt her hand. When she returned to her seat, she looked at her daughter-in-law Qiao Yanxin who was silently eating a cake beside her and said, "Yanxin, can't you cook?"
Qiao Yanxin shook her head: "No."
"Hmph, look at you, you are not a lady from a rich family, you are from a small family, how come you can't even cook?" Zhang rolled her eyes at her and said, "If you could cook, you wouldn't have been robbed of all the limelight by Shang Ruoyi. Cooking for the officials, so many benefits were taken by that little bitch."
Qiao Yanxin lowered her head and said nothing. Ever since they got married, Zhang had always used her background to belittle her.
If she had not accidentally gotten tangled with He Jinghe's belt, making people think that she was having a secret meeting with He Jinghe, even if she remained unmarried for the rest of her life, she would not have married that uneducated man who visited brothels all day long.
"Okay, stop talking, it's embarrassing." He Ning'an said in a deep voice: "Do you have any hidden silver? Go buy a few pairs."
Zhang heard this and hurried to the side, saying loudly, "Where do I get the money? The confiscation of property was so sudden, could I have predicted it?"
He Jinghe looked at Qiao Yanxin: "Do you have any money?"
Qiao Yanxin shook her head: "No."
Zhang secretly touched her underwear and felt relieved to know that the money she had hidden was still there.
The house was searched suddenly, so she only hid some of her jewelry that was easy to hide in her underwear as a life-saving money.
It's only the second day, and we're taking it out now. What will be left when we get to the Land of Exile?
Shang Ruoyi saw all her actions. It seemed that her second aunt and her second uncle were not on the same page.
The break is over and a new journey begins.
People who changed their insoles felt much more relaxed than in the morning, at least their feet didn’t hurt anymore.
Zhang and his family were in a more miserable situation. After walking just a short distance, their feet began to ache terribly.
Gradually they fell behind, and the officers saw that they were walking too slowly, so they raised their whips and hit them.
"Hurry up and leave! If you don't leave, I'll beat you to death."
At this time, Zhang was extremely regretful. If she had known about this, she would not have saved the money.
Along the way, Zhang almost fainted from the pain in her feet and the pain from the whip on her body.
"Boss, it's getting dark now, and the mountain road is hard to walk on, so let's stay here!"
The leading officer nodded and said, "That's the only way."
"But we're out of supplies." A young official carrying a box said, "The cakes and buns inside are gone. Originally, we only had enough to get us down the mountain, but now that we've taken a detour, we don't have enough supplies."
"It will take at least a day to get down the mountain. We can only see if there is anything to eat in the mountain."
"But the mountain road is difficult to walk on, and we have to watch the prisoners. Who will find food?"
The leading man looked at everyone in Prince Ding's Palace, walked up and said, "Do you guys know how to eat?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "I recognize it."
"Very good, you go find some food in this mountain." The leading man said in a deep voice: "Don't try to play tricks, if you dare to run, I will kill all of you He family members." He pointed at Shang Ruoyi, He Jinghe and He Jingxi and said: "Come back quickly when you find it, if it's too late, you will have a hard time."
How could He Jingxi and He Jinghe know what food looks like when it is raw?
The two looked at each other and then turned their attention to Shang Ruoyi.
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Okay."
She looked at the terrain and headed in the direction of the dense trees.
Seeing this, the He brothers had no choice but to follow behind.
He Jinghe was thinking that he would have to find more food later. If the officials were in a good mood, they might give some to their second family. It would be best if they could hunt a pheasant or something so that they could have some meat and soup.
He Jingxi looked at the various plants in the woods with a confused look on his face.
How could he tell which were edible and which were grass?
Shang Ruoyi walked in front and picked a lot of mushrooms on the ground.
She was very lucky. These wild mushrooms were non-toxic and there were a lot of them. She picked them all and threw most of them into the space. She would dry them into dried mushrooms later and use them in stews and stir-fries.
The remaining mushrooms were thrown into the backpack borrowed from the officials.
At this time, He Jinghe walked up and saw her picking mushrooms. He suddenly remembered that he had just seen mushrooms and hurried back to pick them.
When I returned to the place where mushrooms grew, I was just about to put all kinds of brightly colored mushrooms into the backpack, when I had an idea: the color of these mushrooms looked much brighter than the ones Shang Ruoyi had just picked, and they must taste much better than hers.
