The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

"The one who just spoke must be Shang Ruoyi's second aunt!"

"It should be. Since she said that, I guess it's almost true."

"Can I? She's the Crown Prince's Consort!"

"Humph, what's wrong with the Crown Prince's Consort? Let me tell you, the more powerful and influential a person is, the more tricks they have. I used to work at Tianxiang Tower. Tsk tsk tsk, I've seen all kinds of things."

The more they talked, the more outrageous their words became. Zhang listened to them and felt extremely proud.

Shang Ruoyi, if I can't kill you, I will destroy your reputation. When the time comes, you will be ostracized by others and despised by your in-laws. Let's see if you still have the face to continue living.

Little did she know that Shang Ruoyi didn't care about these things at all.

These gossips spread quickly, and when the He family came over, they looked at Shang Ruoyi with obvious disdain, and some even spat in her direction.

He Jingheng's eyes turned fierce, and the man hurriedly lowered his head when he saw it.

Shang Ruoyi smiled and whispered in his ear: "It doesn't matter, I have plenty of ways to deal with them."

She had excellent hearing, and Zhang thought she was being discreet, but from the moment she said the first word, every word she said fell into her ears.

It seems that the poison from the mushrooms last time has been completely eliminated, and he has the energy to jump around again.

Zhang Hu and others took the documents and began to put supplies into the boxes.

Shang Ruoyi looked at the same multi-grain pancake as usual and sighed silently.

"Zhang Hu." The official of the post station came forward and said, "It seems that you will have to eat multi-grain cakes along the way."

Zhang Hu asked in a deep voice: "Why?"

The multi-grain cake was called multi-grain, but in fact it was just rice husks ground into powder and baked with cornmeal. It was hard to swallow, so this kind of multi-grain cake was usually given to prisoners. The officers in charge of escorting them ate steamed buns made of white flour and cornmeal.

What's the point of asking them to eat multi-grain cakes together now?

"I saw several baskets of steamed buns in the kitchen yesterday. Why can't they give them to us?"

The officer looked at the He family and whispered, "Wasn't it that Prince Xiao was injured here yesterday? Princess Xiao was furious and said that we didn't protect him well, so she took away all our food and fined us for one month."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hu immediately understood what he meant.

He was simply angry because Prince Xiao had suffered a loss at the hands of the He family and had his secrets exposed.

The other officers were extremely unhappy when they heard this, and looked at the He family with anger in their eyes.

If it weren't for them, how could Prince Xiao come to the inn without any reason?

If Prince Xiao hadn't come, so many things wouldn't have happened.

Ultimately, it's their fault.

So, an official walked up to the He family with a whip in his hand. Just as he was about to beat them, he heard Zhang say in the crowd, "You deserve it."

When the officer heard this, he immediately became furious. He turned around and walked towards her, raised his whip, and lashed her mercilessly: "Serves you right? Who do you say deserves it? I gave you face, didn't I?"

Zhang was beaten so hard that she cried out in pain. The officer looked at He Ning'an and the others beside him and said angrily, "You are also members of the He family, right? Ah?" As soon as he finished speaking, he beat all four people from the second house.

Shang Ruoyi shook her head. If you don't seek death, you won't die. This sentence is really appropriate for the situation.

The officer was relieved, so he put away the whip and said to the people from the second room, "Watch your mouths, or I'll hit you without mercy."

The people from the second room were covered in blood and nodded tremblingly.

Zhang was beaten the most severely. Her clothes were torn in several places and the flesh on her arms was exposed.

Although she was already over 30 years old, she was the princess of a county prince after all. She was served by servants on a daily basis and took good care of herself. She looked to be in her twenties, and her skin was very delicate. The group of prisoners stared at her with their eyes wide open.

Zhang Hu took the supplies with a dark face. Shang Ruoyi stepped forward and quietly handed him a bag of silver coins: "I'm sorry for causing trouble for you because of our He family's affairs. This is all my belongings. I'll just consider it as an apology to you."

Zhang Hu shook the bag of silver coins. The other officers could see it clearly and felt relieved.

"It's just some dry food, it doesn't matter." The officials smiled. The bag of silver was enough to cover their three-month salary. "Anyway, Miss Shang's cooking skills are good enough. I'll trouble you to take care of the food along the way."

"You are welcome, my Lords."

Zhang Hu looked at Shang Ruoyi's back and touched the bracelet in his hand. Just now, when Shang Ruoyi gave him the silver bag, she secretly put a gold bracelet in his hand.

He couldn't help but sigh, is this really a concubine's daughter?

Zhang and his friends were so angry that they wanted to bite their tongues.

They didn't take out the silver earlier, but had to wait until the officials had finished beating them before taking it. This was clearly intentional.

He Ning'an endured the pain in his body and said angrily: "I told you not to talk too much!"

He Jinghe couldn't help but complain: "Mom, you are the one who caused all the trouble along the way. Otherwise, we wouldn't be treated differently. Today, I got whipped for them for nothing."

Although Qiao Yanxin didn't say anything, the resentment in her eyes was clearly visible.

Zhang gritted her teeth and said nothing, but her resentment grew, especially towards Qiao Yanxin, a girl from a small family who dared to look at her badly.

When passing by a town, Shang Ruoyi once again proposed to go shopping, and the officials all agreed very much, since it would not cost them any money anyway.

She went to the market and bought a few big pots and cooking utensils. When she passed by a meat stall, she bought a lot of meat. She stored it in the space so that it could be kept fresh. When she arrived at the place of exile, she could eat some meat dishes.

After buying rice, flour and other food, Shang Ruoyi walked towards the city gate.

When passing by a stall, his steps suddenly stopped.

"Grandma, how much are these seedlings for?"

She actually saw fruit seedlings.

"To be honest, young lady, I don't know what these seedlings are. They were given to me by my neighbor from the Western Regions before he left. I wanted to plant them, but none of them survived. I decided to sell the rest."

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "I would like to try it. I bought all these."

The old man was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, young lady."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sarcastic voice from the side: "If you ask me, you old woman are always lying. What Western neighbors? What about no crops? You are clearly a weed." The man curled his lips and said, "Little girl, don't listen to her nonsense. Come and take a look at my seeds. They are definitely a hundred times better than that old immortal's!"

Shang Ruoyi glanced at him coldly and said, "I see that most of your seeds are shriveled and will not sprout if planted in the ground."

A woman just wanted to buy seeds, but after hearing Shang Ruoyi say this, she turned and left.

The man was furious when he saw this: "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you going to buy it or not? If not, get out of here and don't delay my business."

Shang Ruoyi took the seedlings, turned to look at the man, and sneered: "I see that your forehead is black, I'm afraid there will be a bloody disaster today!"
