After a pause, she continued, "On the second day after I married into Prince Zhan's mansion, the house was robbed. Then the imperial decree of exile came, and I was thrown into prison. Among those who saw me off were my stepmother's family, but I had no one to see me off. How could I have any silver on me?"

When the stepmother heard that Su Wanning was trying to bring the matter to her, she said, "You don't have any silver, but you just got a new bracelet."

Su Wanning was surprised. She knew it would be mentioned. Fortunately, she had changed her wrist in advance. She protected her left wrist with her right hand and stammered, "Father, this was given by my maternal grandparents. If I take it out, how will the Zhan family look at me in the future?"

Aunt Qin stepped forward again and said, "If the Zhan family can't accommodate you, you can just come back. When we reach the place of exile, your father will buy you ten or twenty more bracelets. Now is the time for you to fulfill your filial duty."

Su Wanning had felt that this mother was not a good person when she was reading the book, but when she heard her being spoken to like this, she looked at Aunt Qin with uncontrollable anger, "Aunt! Am I really your biological child? Since I was little, I've been the one washing clothes and cooking meals for the family. You always beat and scold me when things don't go your way, and I've even received countless minor injuries. Now, on the road to exile, you're asking me to use the gifts given by my elders to help the Su family. Do you really care whether I live or die?"

When Concubine Qin heard Su Wanning's words, she not only showed no regret, but pointed at Su Wanning and said, "Don't forget the kindness your father and I showed you. If it weren't for us, how could you have lived to this age?"

Su Wanning laughed at herself, "Raising me? My clothes since I was little were made by my village aunt out of rags. I ate wild vegetables I dug in the mountains, and even the daily expenses were earned by selling branches I'd gather in the mountains despite the frost. I repaid my father for raising me long ago when he asked me to marry off in place of my eldest sister."

As he spoke, he took off the bracelet on his hand and held it up, "If you want this bracelet, I'll give it to you, but I will have nothing to do with the Su family from now on."

When Su Jinxiu saw the bracelet, she walked over excitedly, took it from Su Wanning's hand, and put it on her own hand. But why did this bracelet feel different from the previous one?

I thought I might not have seen it clearly at the time, but when I looked at the bracelet on my hand again, it seemed more exquisite than before.

Su Wanning saw Su Jinxiu take the bracelet and looked at Su Qianan, "Uncle Su, please write the letter of severance for me as soon as possible."

Su Qianan was about to say something, but Su Wanning had already left quickly. Looking around, he saw everyone already listening intently, and his face darkened even further.

"Qin, Wan Ning is my daughter after all. How could you treat her like that?"

Concubine Qin's face was filled with guilt, as if she was afraid Su Qian'an would suspect something. "Master, she is my daughter too. How could I not treat her well? Wan Ning was so spoiled and willful back then. If I hadn't disciplined her, I don't know what disaster she would have gotten herself into in the future."

Su Qianan's expression softened a bit and he looked at Su Jinxiu beside him. "What have I ever done to you since we were little? How could an ordinary jade bracelet make you so quick and decisive?"

Su Jinxiu touched the bracelet without saying a word. She looked at Su Wanning, who had returned to the Zhan family's resting place, with a smile on her face. She felt a little unhappy in her heart. Why should she, a concubine's daughter, live better than her, a legitimate daughter?

After Su Wanning handed the bracelet to Su Jinxiu, she went back directly. Unexpectedly, Song Ying had left a lot of dishes for her. She picked up the dishes and took two more bites.

Zhan Beiwang's porridge had already cooled down, so I fed him two mouthfuls. I don't know if it was because I fed him too much or for some other reason, but some of the porridge kept spilling out.

Take out a straw from the space and let him drink directly from it.

Su Wanning casually threw the used straw into the fire that had not yet been extinguished.

Zhan Yiran took advantage of the fire to boil a few more pots of hot water, and after it cooled down, poured it into everyone's water bag.

While there was still some break time, Su Wanning took Zhan Yiran to cut down a bamboo and made three longer large teacups, along with a lid for a small teacup. They also split a softer bamboo from the top, twisted it into a rope, and tied it to the teacups.

Su Wanning put some ice cubes in each one and poured in some water.

In addition to her own glass, a bottle of Coke was poured in.

I took a sip right away, it was so refreshing!

He asked Zhan Yiran to take out the lid of her cup and poured her a small cup. Zhan Yiran tasted it, and they looked at each other and smiled brightly.

Zhan Beiwang, who had been lying on the ground, hissed softly.

Su Wanning looked at him nervously, "Does the wound on your body hurt again?"

Zhan Beiwang looked at Su Wanning with red eyes, "Aning, it hurts."

Seeing that it was almost time, Su Wanning took out a few more pills and put them into his mouth.

"Wait till tonight and let my brother change your dressing, then I'll give you another injection."

Some things can only be done at night when there is no one around, because you can't see clearly and you have to ask someone to hold a light.

"Aning, what were you and sister drinking just now?"

"Happy water." Su Wanning poured out a little bit and let him taste some.

It's crispy and numb, with a little sweetness and a hint of coolness. It tastes quite good.

"It doesn't taste like anything." He looked at Su Wanning, hoping she could pour him another glass.

Su Wanning shook her head. "When you get better, you can drink as much as you want."

He also knew his current body condition and didn't ask for much more.

After resting for a total of one hour, the exile team set off again.

As the scorching sun set in the west, the exile group was filled with complaints.

Su Wanning, a nurse in the 21st century, runs around the hospital every day and feels like her feet are no longer feet, not to mention that the people in the exile team are all rich ladies who never go out of the house.

The leading officer also knew who the people in the exile team were before.

After traveling for a while, the exile team was allowed to rest on the spot.

After finding a place to rest at night, Su Wanning sat directly on the ground, resting her feet.

If I continue walking tomorrow, my feet will definitely get blisters.

There were sneakers in the space, but if he took them and put them on, people would definitely see them.

Although the hem is long, it is not long enough to cover all the shoes.

It’s better to wait until dark, take out the sneakers in the space, take apart the current shoes and sew them on, then rub the shoes on the ground. No one should notice.

Almost no one cooked at night, and everyone was so tired that they just ate bread on the ground.

Su Wanning was not hungry yet. She looked at the shoes on her feet and thought about how to sew them later.

Zhan Yiran sat next to Su Wanning and watched her staring at her shoes. "What's wrong? Are your feet uncomfortable?"

Su Wanning nodded, "I walked all day today, and it felt like my feet weren't my own anymore."

Su Wanning looked at Zhan Yiran, who looked relaxed, and asked, "Aren't you tired?"

"Of course I'm tired, but since I train so often, I shouldn't be as exhausted as you are. I'll have mother sew a few more pads on your shoes so you can walk more comfortably tomorrow."

Su Wanning leaned close to Zhan Yiran and whispered a few words, telling him about her plan to take out the sneakers from the space and put them on.
