You confiscated my property, I exiled you, why are you crying when the treasury is empty?

Thinking of this, Su Wanning began to take things off the ox cart.

After packing up my things, I thought about going to the village to get some water to wash and start cooking.

Just as she was about to walk towards the village, she heard people in the exile team talking about charging fees. The two of them walked away, and Su Wanning did not go over to ask.

Seeing Cui Peifeng coming back from fetching water, he asked, "Just now I heard them talking about charging something. What is the charge?"

Cui Peifeng raised the container of water in his hand and said, "I'll charge you for the water."

"Water fee?" No wonder the villagers didn't react at all when they saw that no one was paying to live in the village.

It turned out that he had other plans. "How do you charge for this water?"

"This much will cost one hundred coins." Cui Peifeng looked at the water in his hand, which was only about ten liters.

That amount of water is just enough to cook one meal. "Is there no other water source nearby?"

Cui Peifeng shook his head. "The river we crossed just happened to go around the mountain ahead. Besides the well in this village, at our current speed, we still have about a day and a half to go. There's a group of bandits on that mountain, and they should have a water source there too. But you don't have to worry. They mainly rob the rich and give to the poor. I've never heard of them harming anyone."

Bandits? Why hadn't I heard Zhan Beiwang mention this before? After thanking Cui Peifeng, Su Wanning walked towards the well.

Su Wanning met some villagers on the way and asked them about it. She found out that if she stayed in a villager's house, it would cost 150 coins a night and there would be no limit on water use. This was also the daily revenue source of the village.

Su Wanning turned around and went back, took the packages from the ox cart and put them on the cart, and asked the villager in charge of accommodation to open a room for her.

The room is clean and spacious, and four or five people can stay in one room.

It’s a pity that the accommodation is based on the number of people.

Zhan Beiwang was worried about Su Wanning being alone, so he also booked a room in the house next to Su Wanning.

After settling down, Su Wanning fetched a few buckets of water and washed her hair.

Her hair was almost down to her waist, and in this day and age when hair and body were inherited from one's parents, it could not be cut at will.

But Su Wanning really wanted to lose weight. It was difficult to wash her hair along the way, and it took a long time to dry it after washing.

It was fine in the summer, but now it’s autumn and the temperature has dropped. If I don’t lose weight, I’m afraid I’ll waste a lot of time.

Take out the scissors, pull the hair forward, and cut the hair much shorter with two snips.

To avoid being seen by others, Su Wanning immediately took out a lighter and set the fallen hair on fire.

I feel like I lost a few pounds after getting my hair cut.

As soon as the hair was burned, the yard door opened again.

Su Wanning looked over and saw Wu Qianyun walking in with the other two families of the Zhan family.

"Sister Wan Ning, why has your hair become so short? Your hair is given by your parents, how can Sister Wan Ning cut it off without permission?" Liu Yan'er pointed at the scissors in Su Wan Ning's hand.

When everyone heard this, they looked at Su Wanning.

"Your body and hair are given by your parents, so why don't you pick up the skin on your face that fell on the ground? Why don't you pick up the hair that falls when you comb your hair every day?" Su Wanning raised her eyebrows and looked at Liu Yan'er.

Liu Yan'er understood the meaning of Su Wanning's words and wanted to refute but was stopped by Wu Qianyun's stern voice. She could only return to her room in a rage.

Su Wanning looked at Wu Qianyun's back. This shouldn't be the case. Normally, she would at least say a few words for Liu Yan'er. She murmured softly, "This is so abnormal."

"What's so abnormal?" Zhan Beiwang walked to Su Wanning's side.

Su Wanning shook her head. "Nothing."

"Did you cut your hair?" Zhan Beiwang asked, looking at Su Wanning's hair which was obviously much shorter than before.

"Well, otherwise it would be inconvenient to wash." Thinking of what Cui Peifeng had said before, "Then why didn't you tell me before that there was a group of bandits on a certain mountain not far ahead?"

"I'm afraid you will worry on the way. That group of bandits is a famous good bandit in the Dashun Dynasty." Zhan Beiwang took the comb beside him and combed Su Wanning's hair a few times.

That wasn't a bandit at all; he was clearly a knight. If he was truly a famous and good bandit as Zhan Beiwang said, then why hadn't she seen him when she was reading unofficial history?

Zhan Beiwang put the comb back into Su Wanning's hand and said, "Okay, don't think about it. I'm here for you no matter what happens."

Su Wanning took a deep breath and thought, "Who cares? This isn't what she should be thinking about anyway."

Su Wanning, who had been waiting for Wu Qianyun to continue, finally started to work when it was almost time for dinner.

She, who never cooked before, suddenly wanted to cook, saying that she didn't want to make them work so hard.

Su Wanning looked left and right but didn't find anything wrong.

After the meal was cooked, Wu Qianyun handed it to Su Wanning, her tone sharp, "It was my fault as a grandmother before. I always wanted you to separate. Seeing Wang'er siding with you, if I continue my previous behavior, I'm afraid Wang'er and I will be the first to be separated. I don't expect you to forgive me now, but I will not interfere in your affairs in the future. This bowl of rice is my apology to you as an elder."

Abnormal, very abnormal, could this bowl of rice be poisoned?

But since Wu Qianyun said so, she felt embarrassed to refuse and reached out to take the dinner.

She turned around and exchanged the food for Zhan Beiwang. Looking at the food in her hand, Su Wanning took Zhan Lingfeng's food and exchanged it.

He also scooped some rice from his bowl into the bowls of Zhan Beiwang and Zhan Lingfeng.

Finally, I ate the meal with satisfaction.

After eating and waiting for an hour, nothing happened. Could it be that she really got better?

Su Wanning immediately denied this idea. How could a person's character change in such a short time?

After thinking for a long time without figuring it out, I just lay down on the bed.

Live as long as you can. At worst, you can die early and go to the underworld to take the civil service exam.

I slept until I woke up naturally.

The weather is perfect for traveling now, why haven’t I heard the gong sound yet?

I got up, washed, and went out. I saw a line of people at the well. I originally wanted to earn some more money.

After walking around the village, I returned to the yard and the aroma of chicken soup wafted over from the kitchen.

Wu Qianyun came over with a bowl of chicken soup, "Wan Ning, try the chicken soup I made."

Zhan Yiran, who was collecting clothes at the side, ran over and took a sip, "Grandma, the chicken soup you made is so delicious."

Su Wanning saw Zhan Yiran finish drinking and took a sip from the bowl, "It's really delicious."

Wu Qianyun took the bowl and looked at Su Wanning with a smile, "As long as it tastes good, it's fine. This is the chicken I specially bought from the villagers."

Su Wanning looked at Wu Qianyun's back. "Has she been upset recently? Or is she trying to harm me?"

Zhan Yiran was also confused. She had never seen Wu Qianyun like this before. She looked at Su Wanning as if she was looking at an animal that was about to be raised and slaughtered. She reacted and quickly shook her head. Why would she think like this?
