When they returned to the village, the prisoners looked at the extremely luxurious carriage in shock.

"Who is this important person?"

"He must be a wealthy man in town. Such a luxurious carriage must cost at least ten taels of silver."

Zhang also saw it, and looking at the direction the carriage was heading, she followed it suspiciously.

When the carriage stopped, she looked at the person who got out of the carriage in shock. It was Shang Ruoyi.

She thought about it and ran back home quickly.

He Ning'an and He Jinghe were both sitting on a low couch, eating the leftover multi-grain cakes that were distributed in the morning. They had just arrived at the village and would be provided with ten days' rations, one multi-grain cake per person per day.

Zhang ran all the way home and shouted, "Master, Shang Ruoyi bought a very large carriage. I see, it's no worse than the one she had in the capital. Where did she get so much money? Could it be given by the old lady?"

He Ning'an frowned and said, "Where does my mother have the money? The house was raided suddenly, where did she hide it?"

"How come there is none? If there are no gold and silver jewelry, how can there be no silver bills?"

He Jinghe heard this and nodded, "Mother is right. I find it very strange. During her exile, Shang Ruoyi had a lot of silver on her. How much silver could a concubine's daughter have? Maybe it was all given by my grandmother."

"So what if it was given by your grandmother? We have already divided it among us. Can we still ask for it back?"

He Jinghe looked at the dry multi-grain cake in his hand, feeling a little unbalanced: "Why can't I have it? Aren't Third Uncle and the others eating and drinking for free at Grandma's place?"

At this moment, many people outside were discussing something, and their voices were quite loud.

Not long after, Zhang came in again. This time, her expression was so ugly that it could not be described. She said in a deep voice with a dark face, "You all go and have a look! Another large cart of things has been delivered. They are all sent to the east end of the village. I see chickens, ducks, and pork."

He Jinghe threw away the multi-grain cake in his hand and said, "I must go to my grandmother today to ask her why she treats us differently!"

After saying this, he strode out quickly.

The fugitives gathered at the gate of the He family, watching the endless stream of food and supplies being delivered to the He family, and they were all envious.

"Meat! It's actually meat!"

"And quilts and cotton clothes."

"Ah, it's worthy of being the Dingguo Palace! Even in exile, they can live so comfortably, unlike us?"

"That's right, how much silver does it cost for so many things?"

"Don't worry about it. Don't forget the skills of that prince and his wife. They smashed the wolf's head with a stone. Our heads don't seem to be as hard as the wolf king's!"

No one has forgotten this scene, and it is extremely shocking to talk about it now.

"Look at the servants in the Dingwang Palace. They can all eat meat. Do you remember the second house that was separated? Oh, I saw them go to get multi-grain cakes this morning. Tsk, tsk, tsk, they live worse than the servants."

"Some masters are still masters even if they are exiled, but some masters are even worse than servants after being exiled."

He Jinghe heard these words and couldn't help but get furious.

He wanted to rush up and beat up those two men, but the two men who said this were of burly build, far beyond his reach. When he was in the capital, he indulged in beauty all day long, and his body had long been hollowed out.

He turned his gaze towards the He family, his eyes full of gloom.

He pushed aside the crowd and walked towards the He family.

The two people who had just spoken looked at each other. This He Jinghe was indeed a brainless man. He couldn't stand it after they just provoked him for a few words.

He Jinghe walked into the yard and saw the yard piled high with food, and he couldn't help but get furious.

Their family had to be frugal even when eating multi-grain cakes in their shabby house, but Shang Ruoyi and her friends were so stingy. Not only did they buy so much meat, but they didn't even share a piece with them. They were so stingy. Did they still treat them as family?

At this moment, Zhang also came over. Seeing so many things, she hurried in with a smile on her face: "Sister-in-law."

When Qin saw her coming, her face darkened: "What are you doing here?" Qin had not forgotten Zhang's expression before.

"Sister-in-law, look, you have so much food here, can you share some with us?" She rubbed her stomach and looked pitiful: "We haven't eaten anything yet, we are starving."

Qin pulled her arm out of her hand and said coldly, "What does your starvation have to do with me? I didn't steal your multi-grain cake."

Zhang's face froze, and she wondered why Qin wasn't as easy to control as before?

"How can we swallow that multi-grain cake?" Zhang frowned and whispered, "Otherwise, even if we borrowed these from your family, we will definitely pay them back in the future."

Qin was just thinking about how to refuse when she heard Shang Ruoyi's voice: "Can't swallow it? I saw you guys were eating very happily when you were exiled!"

As soon as Zhang saw it was Shang Ruoyi, she knew that she would not get any food today.

"Besides, you are saying that you are borrowing from us, so when will you pay it back? How will you pay it back? Money or food? How will the interest be calculated?"

As soon as Shang Ruoyi finished speaking, He Jinghe said, "You won't even give me this little bit of stuff? And you want interest. We are a family. Besides, these things were bought with my grandmother's money, so we have a share in the first place!"

Lin from the third room came out and sneered, "When we moved to separate houses, we already separated. Why are you still coveting your grandmother's things now?"

"Humph, Third Aunt still has the nerve to criticize me. What about you? Aren't you also using Grandmother's money to eat and drink here?" He Jinghe sneered, "You still have the nerve to criticize me."

Lin's face darkened: "If you want to talk, you need evidence. When have we been eating and drinking here for free? We have all given our own belongings."

"Please go back, both of you! You are not welcome in the He family."

"You!" He Jinghe looked at Shang Ruoyi and sneered, "I really don't know when the He family will let a concubine like you have the final say. I want to see my grandmother! I want to see my grandmother! Maybe my grandmother was bewitched by a concubine like you who is not presentable enough."

At this moment, He Jinghe suddenly cried out in pain, and the next second, a blood mark appeared on his left cheek, and blood flowed down his cheek.

He Jingheng was sitting by the door, holding a leaf in his hand. He looked at He Jinghe and saw a fallen leaf of the same kind lying at his feet.

People woke up suddenly, and a leaf scratched his face?

"Who are you saying is not presentable?" He Jingheng's low voice was full of pressure: "It seems that you need to learn the rules again."
