After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Shen Tingyao and others who were sitting in the carriage were all startled when they heard the sound.

No one had ever yelled at them so loudly.

For a moment, they couldn't figure out who was calling them so angrily.

But they still came out obediently.

Shen Jinyao: "Come down."

Shen Tingyao wanted to refute, but when she saw the sullen faces of Old Lady Shen and Madam Shen, she walked down.

Shen Jinyao didn't want to bother with them too much, she had more important things to do now.

"Zhiyong, Zhixin, help grandmother and mother onto the carriage."

Shen Zhiyong nodded.

Shen Zhixin said, "I understand, sister."

Shen Jinyao turned around and discussed with Mrs. Shen.

"Mother, I want to go back to the city."

Mrs. Shen disagreed, "No, that would be disobeying the emperor's order. What are you going to do back?"

"Mother, I want to visit your shops."

Mrs. Shen seemed to understand, and she asked, "Do you want to get the money?"

Shen Jinyao replied: "Whatever I can take is fine, but I don't know if the shop owners will recognize it."

Mrs. Shen thought about it and it seemed that this was really the only way.

She took out one of her bracelets and said, "This is a token of trust. Tell them to give you all the money in the shop."

Shen Jinyao thought for a moment, "What if we give them half of the profits? Then we can send all the profits to us."

After hearing this, Madam Shen said, "This method is feasible. But Jin'er, this is too risky."

"Don't worry, grandma. I'll let Dali drive the carriage and take me. I just need to change into men's clothes."

Old Madam Shen didn't expect that Shen Jinyao had already made arrangements early.

"Jin'er, let Dali take you to the shops under my name and use the method you just mentioned."

The eldest lady could only watch. Her family was not wealthy and she did not receive a shop as part of her dowry.

The third wife was not favored in the family at that time. If the third master had not insisted on marrying her, the marriage might not have been possible.

She said, "Jin'er, why don't you take me with you? I know some Kung Fu and can help."

Shen Jinyao refused and said, "Third Aunt, if we can spare one person, then we'd better spare one. After all, this is a matter of disobeying the imperial order, and it would be bad if people found out."

Mrs. Shen said distressedly: "But what if you are discovered?"

Shen Jinyao comforted her, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely come back safely."

Qiuyan urged from the side, "Miss, can you let me go with you?"

"No, you and Dongmei have more important things to do."

Shen Jinyao brought Qiuyan and Dongmei to another empty carriage.

Everyone was waiting outside the carriage, not knowing what Shen Jinyao was going to do.

Shen Tingyao was a little dissatisfied and asked, "Mother, what is Jinyao doing? Aren't we going on the road?"

Mrs. Shen ignored Shen Tingyao. She was only thinking about her daughter's safety.

"Aunt, what is she doing?"

Aunt Yun opened her mouth and was about to speak, but was glared at by the Third Madam.

She shut her mouth awkwardly and signaled Shen Tingyao with her eyes not to ask any more questions.

After waiting for a while, a young man came out of the carriage.

The young man had dark skin, a medium build, and his hair was combed high.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that this young man had beautiful eyes.

Shen Leyao exclaimed: "Where's my eldest sister? She's turned into a man!"

Shen Zhixin patted Le Yao and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Shen Tingyao said, "I thought it was so mysterious. It turns out she's dressed as a man. I won't change. It's so uncomfortable."

She looked at the tight bra strap that Shen Jinyao was wearing and felt uncomfortable at the thought.

Shen Jinyao called Sun Dali and said goodbye to Old Madam Shen.

"Don't worry, grandma. I'll be back soon."

Madam Shen couldn't help but instructed: "If you see something wrong, come back quickly."

Sun Dali nodded vigorously.

When he learned that Shen Jinyao was going to take him back to Shangjing City, his face was full of shock.

How could someone run back immediately after being kicked out?

The imperial edict stated that he could never return to Shangjing City.

This is disobeying the imperial order.

If she were discovered by the yamen runners, the young lady would be sentenced to death.

The eldest lady didn't let him tell anyone, and currently only a few ladies and the old lady know about it.

He felt more or less relieved when he saw the young lady dressed as a man.

On the road, Sun Dali drove the carriage quickly.

"Da Li, when we get to the city gate, give the silver to the yamen runner and tell him we're going into town to buy medicine and see a doctor."

Sun Dali: "I understand, Miss."

"Call me Master Huo."

"Good son."

Shen Jinyao randomly gave herself a name so that she wouldn't be suspected when she went on the road.

There were a total of ten servants who came out with the Shen family this time. In addition to five maids, a nanny and a housekeeper, there were only three male servants.

The other two are Zhang Er, who has followed Zhiyong since childhood. Although he is smart, he is not very old.

The other one is Shen Wei. He and Sun Dali are both illegitimate children of the Shen family.

It’s just that all of Shen Wei’s elders have passed away, and he is the only one left in the Shen family.

The Shen family is his home.

Shen Wei is very tall and not as smart as Zhang Er.

After much deliberation, Shen Jinyao chose Sun Dali, the son of Nanny Li.

The reason why Sun Dali is called Dali is because he has been very strong since he was a child.

He is tall and strong, and looks very intimidating.

"What are you doing in town?"

Sun Dali got off the carriage and said anxiously to the yamen runner, "Brother, my son is seriously ill and wants to go to the city to see a doctor."

As Sun Dali spoke, he stuffed a piece of silver into the yamen runner's pocket.

"Brother, please be flexible."

The bailiff glanced at the carriage and heard intermittent coughing sounds coming from inside.

The yamen runner said impatiently, "Okay, okay, hurry up and leave."

Sun Dali hurriedly drove his carriage into the city.

At this time, Shen Jinyao's voice came from the carriage.

"Da Li, let's go to my grandmother's medicine shop in Dongcheng first."

My grandmother’s dowry included three shops in Shangjing City, and my mother had five shops.

Among these eight shops, there are two pharmacies, three jewelry shops, two grocery stores and one pastry shop.

Since I told the yamen runner, I need to go to the city to see a doctor.

Just in case, Shen Jinyao planned to go to the pharmacy to collect the money first.

"Sir, it's here."

Shen Jinyao nodded, and she asked Dali to take the things in to meet the person first.

If anything went wrong, she would drive away quickly in her carriage.

Dali gave Mrs. Shen's token to the owner of the drugstore.

When the owner of the drugstore saw the token, he wanted to see the master, so Dali let Shen Jinyao get out of the car.

The two walked to the backyard.

"May I ask, Master?"

"My dear nephew, the situation is urgent and I won't make things difficult for the shopkeeper. The old lady wants to give you half of the future profits of this shop."

The shopkeeper was also a smart man. He knew that although the old lady was gone, the shop would not be taken away.

Although the imperial edict said that he was not allowed to return to Shangjing, the pharmacy was not under the name of the Shen family.

Perhaps the Shen family will one day make a comeback.
