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

As soon as Shen Jinyao got off the carriage, she heard the voice of Old Madam Shen.

She lowered her head and walked up to the old lady, "Grandma, I know I was wrong."

The old lady, who had prepared a lot of reasons, felt her anger subside instantly when she saw Shen Jinyao being so humble.

Mrs. Shen, who was standing aside, looked at her mother-in-law with some anger.

She said, "Jin'er, you must tell your grandmother about this kind of thing next time. Remember? You don't know how worried she is about you."

Shen Jinyao raised her head at this time and reached out to help the old lady up.

"I just knew that my grandmother was the best to me."

Madam Shen patted Shen Jinyao's hand and asked, "Did you see who it was?"

Shen Jinyao glanced at the people around her, and everyone went to prepare the meal in tacit understanding.

They planned to go to the county town to do some shopping after dinner.

Shen Jinyao pulled the old lady to sit on a rock.

"Grandma, the people following us are from the Imperial Guards, and the leader is Pan Ye, who raided our house that day."

When Mrs. Shen heard this, her eyes narrowed.

"I spoke to him for a few words, but I didn't find out anything from him."

"I asked him to go forward, but he turned around and went back."

"Grandma, do you think he's weird?"

Shen Jinyao looked at the old lady with a pensive look on her face. She knew there must be something fishy going on.

After a while, just when Shen Jinyao thought the old lady would not answer, the old lady spoke.

Her voice was a little deep, unlike the cheerful voice when she was joking with her granddaughter just now.

"The Imperial Guards take orders from the Emperor. This must be the Emperor's will."

"Then Grandmother, why did the Emperor do this?"

The old lady sighed and said, "Perhaps the emperor is skeptical about your father's crime and wants to see if there are any clues from us."

Shen Jinyao didn't understand. What could be revealed from this?

"Your mother, the Third Madam, and I all have families of our own. They all have a say in the court."

"Maybe they were afraid they might help us on the way, or maybe they wanted to see if there were any other people."

After Shen Jinyao finished listening, she asked, "Who else?"

The old lady said: "That's right. Do you still remember the imperial edict of exile? What was it written?"

Shen Jinyao recalled for a moment, then said, "The imperial edict said that my father was involved in the appointment of the crown prince, and that he was colluding with foreign tribes..."

She paused here and said calmly, "Your Majesty, do you think those so-called foreigners will take this opportunity to approach us?"

The old lady nodded. What surprised her was that Shen Jinyao could actually think of this.

It can truly be said that this child is teachable.

With a man like this, why should the Shen family worry about not being able to make a comeback?

Shen Jinyao didn't pay attention to her grandmother who suddenly seemed a little depressed. She was thinking about these speculations.

Although the emperor's idea is childish and ridiculous, from the perspective of the suspicious emperor, everything seems reasonable.

If her father really colluded with foreign tribes, then not only would she be monitored, but her father would also be under strict supervision.

Outsiders will never save them and will most likely kill them all.

Thinking of this, Shen Jinyao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.

She asked in a cold voice: "Grandma, what about father..."

Madam Shen: "I can guarantee that your father didn't..."

Shen Jinyao and the old lady looked at each other. At this moment, they could only hope that what they saw was true.

Shen Maoshan was just wronged, he had never come into contact with foreigners.

This is much more serious than participating in the selection of a crown prince.

Now their whole family is a pawn, and the people behind them are playing chess behind them.

The emperor may have guessed this, which is why he chose to monitor them.

but……

Shen Jinyao: "Grandma, why didn't Pan Ye continue to follow us? Instead, he only followed us to the border of Shangzhou?"

Old Madam Shen hadn't figured this out either.

However, she knew the emperor's temperament. He always did what he wanted and was difficult to understand.

I only heard Madam Shen say leisurely: "Perhaps once we leave Shangzhou, in the eyes of the emperor, there is no need for us to be monitored anymore."

Shen Jinyao stayed where she was.

What would happen if chess pieces lost their value?

Let others slaughter you?

Will there be anyone following them?

But she thought that the emperor would not send anyone else.

The road ahead is full of dangers and obstacles, and perhaps the emperor is the one who least wants them to die.

But other people don’t know.

"Grandma, I'll take care of everything."

Old Madam Shen looked at Shen Jinyao, and her tense state relaxed a little.

She is old.

It's good enough if you don't fall behind.

"Talk to your brothers and sisters about this when the time is right."

Shen Jinyao nodded, she had the same idea.

"It's better to be awake than confused."

Think about Shen Tingyao. Even when she was wearing men's clothes, she still fantasized about staying in an inn in the future.

Le Yao and Zhi Ye, six and seven years old respectively, are very playful.

The three brothers Zhiyong, Zhixue and Zhixin are even better.

Only if they stand firm will the Shen family have hope.

"Don't worry, Grandma. I will definitely lead everyone to Quzhou."

Shen Jinyao's words were so serious that they could not be ignored.

Old Madam Shen hugged Shen Jinyao and said distressedly, "Jin'er, grandma is useless. You have suffered so much."

Shen Jinyao shook her head.

She didn't feel that wronged.

First, she has space.

Second, she knows some kung fu.

Third, she is a modern person who traveled through time.

She felt she had the ability to do it.

As for his feelings towards the Shen family, perhaps the emotions of his original body are still in his body.

She couldn't bear to abandon the whole family.

Although they are now on the chopping block, it is always better to take precautions before they happen.

There was no task she couldn't complete before.

Now, it's the same.

Shen Jinyao's firm attitude greatly encouraged the old lady.

The two stayed there for a while until Mrs. Shen came to call them for dinner, and then the grandfather and grandson returned to everyone's sight.

Everyone in the Shen family, including the servants, knew that the old lady and Shen Jinyao had discussed an important matter.

But no one asked.

Because they are now accustomed to following Shen Jinyao's arrangements, and feel that with the eldest daughter of the Shen family around, nothing serious should happen.

After all, if it were them, they would not dare to confront the people who were following them head-on.

"Jin'er, eat some fruit."

"Miss, please have some rice and soup."

"Sister, would you like some pancakes?"

……

A group of people surrounded Shen Jinyao until her bowl was full.

She looked at Shen Tingyao who was about to give her some food.

"Stop. One by one, do you have any ideas?"

Shen Tingyao smoothed the nonexistent hair and beard on her forehead. She asked softly, "Jinyao, can we sleep in the inn tonight?"

Shen Jinyao didn't even look at her and said coldly, "No."

Far from being angry, Shen Tingyao anxiously said, "Then can you take me into the city?"
