The rain outside the window gradually increased in weight, and the lightning and thunder were like a piece of music, and finally the song ended.

Su Wanning fell asleep contentedly.

The rain that had been falling for two days finally stopped this morning.

After dinner, the exile team began to notify their journey.

Although it was a ridiculous night, Su Wanning's legs did not affect her walking at all.

If Wu Qianyun's intention had not been so obvious yesterday, she would not have been in such a hurry to deal with Zhan Beiwang.

They are already married, so if she can't take advantage of it, it would be a waste.

The relationship between the two also took a step forward because of what happened yesterday.

Most of the streets in the city are paved with stone slabs, but I don’t know what the road conditions are like outside the city.

Zhan Beiwang thought about what happened yesterday and said, "Aning, are you feeling unwell? Why don't you take a ride on the ox cart first?"

As soon as Zhan Beiwang said this, everyone around him looked at Su Wanning. Su Wanning quickly waved her hands and said, "I'm fine. Why are you looking at me?"

Before anyone else said anything, Wu Qianyun glanced at Su Wanning unkindly, "Wang'er is still injured. As his wife, instead of taking good care of him, she only wants to do that kind of thing."

Song Ying looked at Su Wanning in surprise when she heard this. Her daughter-in-law had finally consummated her marriage. "Mother, young people all have their own ideas. As elders, it's better for us to refrain from interfering."

Wu Qianyun snorted and pulled Liu Yan'er forward two steps.

As a woman, Zhan Yiran naturally understood what was meant just now, and she approached Su Wanning with a malicious smile.

Su Wanning felt uncomfortable with the intentional or unintentional gazes of several people, so she walked straight to the ox cart and sat on it.

Even so, Su Wanning could feel the gazes of others. When the team left the city, the ox cart got stuck in the mud.

Su Wanning got off the ox cart, and several people worked together to push the cart out.

Because of this delay, several people fell far behind their original position.

"I don't know why you are so pretentious. You have to take a bullock cart to walk these few steps." Wu Qianyun looked at the position that was a distance behind before.

She has endured it again and again, but still received all kinds of accusations. She can no longer endure it and doesn't need to endure it anymore.

"Did you have to wait? Why did you stop when you didn't help lift the ox cart? Why didn't you just follow the team? You just wanted to be lazy and walk a few steps slowly, but you still have the nerve to blame others.

You've been harassing me since yesterday. What elder is as idle as you, always picking on the younger generation's troubles and criticizing other people's sex life? Why don't you take a stool next time..."

Seeing that Su Wanning's words were becoming more and more explicit, Zhan Yiran quickly reached out and pulled her sleeve.

Su Wanning also reacted and stopped what she was about to say. Wu Qianyun's face had turned ashen with anger.

"I am the elder..."

Su Wanning interrupted her, "Don't say you're my elder now. I can't afford to be such a troublemaker." She took out the divorce letter from the cloth bag and said, "See, divorce letter. We're no longer a family. Don't use your status as an elder to pressure me anymore."

Those in the Zhan family who were unaware of the situation looked at the divorce agreement in his hand in disbelief.

Zhan Beiwang looked at the divorce letter. He was sure that he had never written it, so there was only one possibility. With red eyes, he asked, "Mother, Grandmother, what's going on?"

At this time, neither of them dared to look up and look directly into Zhan Beiwang's eyes.

Zhan Yiran saw that the atmosphere was not right and wanted to reach out and take the divorce letter, but Su Wanning quickly put it into the space.

We can't let others ruin this.

Finally, it was Song Ying who spoke up, "Before you entered the palace, we thought you... wanted to stop Wan Ning from being a widow, so we gave her the divorce papers."

Zhan Beiwang originally thought that the divorce agreement Su Wanning took out was fake, and he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Now that Song Ying admitted it on the spot, the last bit of hope was shattered.

Zhan Beiwang reached out and pulled Su Wanning's sleeve, and said in a pleading tone, "Aning, no divorce."

Zhan Yiran also quickly persuaded, "Wan Ning, my brother will treat you well."

Zhan Lingfeng also pleaded in his tone, "Sister-in-law, my brother will definitely treat you well. Please don't leave him. If he treats you badly, then...can you take me with you when you leave?"

Su Wanning looked at them and laughed sincerely, "I didn't even say I was leaving."

Zhan Lingfeng looked at Su Wanning and asked tentatively, "Aning, what about the divorce agreement..."

"Of course I'm keeping it for myself. If you change your mind and treat me badly in the future, I can use it again."

She doesn't want her path to be blocked. People in this world are fickle, and at least they don't trust anyone emotionally.

Not to mention others, even if it was her, if she suddenly met someone who looked better and treated her better, she would run away with him.

Several people were talking and laughing, and didn't notice Wu Qianyun at all.

Zhan Huaming, supported by Shen Zhiyi, walked to Wu Qianyun's side, bowed, and asked, "Aunt, my mother left with you. How is she now?"

Wu Qianyun's face was filled with sadness. "Hua Ming, I'm sorry for you. Your mother passed away the day after we left the city."

If Shen Zhiyi hadn't supported Zhan Huaming, he would have fallen to the ground. "Died...died? Then where is my mother's body?"

Wu Qianyun approached An Songying and asked her to take out some silver. "Since Su Wanning is no longer a member of my Zhan family, I will be the steward from now on."

Song Ying placed the remaining three thousand taels of silver into Wu Qianyun's hands, "Mother, this is all the silver we have left."

Wu Qianyun said perfunctorily, "Okay, I know, I know."

He took out several hundred taels of silver notes and handed them to Zhan Huaming. "Hua Ming, take these notes. We couldn't go back to the capital at that time, so we chose a nearby cemetery to bury him."

Wan Ting had been following Zhan Huaming to watch the fun, but her eyes lit up when she saw the banknotes handed over by Wu Qianyun.

He walked quickly to the side of the group and said, "Mother, you have such a miserable life. We didn't even get to see you for the last time..."

Wu Qianyun gave some more banknotes to Wan Ting and said, "Don't be too sad, brothers. You should take good care of yourselves while you are on the road of exile."

They talked for a few more moments before returning to their seats.

Su Wanning looked at the original three thousand taels of silver note. Whether there was still one thousand taels left was another matter.

"How can there be such a mother-in-law in the world? She actually spends the private money given to her daughter-in-law by her parents."

Su Wanning's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for the people following behind them to hear.

"No wonder he's so generous, it turns out he's spending his daughter-in-law's money."

"If she were my daughter-in-law, I wouldn't take a penny of the money her family gave me."

"It takes a very heartless person to take money from his daughter-in-law."

Wu Qianyun heard the gossip of the people around her, "Are these banknotes from your mother's family?"
