Shen Qingge was just wondering when he saw an escorting officer trot up to the carriage and say a few words to the man respectfully.

As for the man, he waved his hand lightly as if giving an order, then lowered the curtains, and the carriage started moving towards the outskirts of the city.

Before the exiles could react, they were urged by the officials to set off.

Now, Shen Qingge had no time to think about who the man was. She stepped forward, supported her grandmother, and followed the team towards the outskirts of the city.

Although we were still on the official road when we reached the outskirts of the city, the dirt road was inevitably bumpy and difficult to walk on. Furthermore, it hadn't rained in half a year, and even in early autumn, the weather was still oppressively hot near noon.

Before long, everyone was sweating and sticky.

Occasionally a heat wave would blow up, raising dust that would hit everyone's face, making them covered in dust and making them cough from time to time.

Less than an hour after setting out, some people in the exile team began to complain.

It's no wonder, these high-ranking officials and wealthy families usually don't have to do housework. They have personal servants at home and are picked up by carriages when they go out. How could they have suffered such suffering!

But the officers had no intention of stopping. They waved the whips in their hands and urged everyone to move forward.

Shen Qingge looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly and was very dazzling. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to block the sunlight.

It's really hot!

She swallowed and her mouth suddenly felt dry.

She turned to look at her grandmother. Her lips were a little chapped and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She looked a little dehydrated.

So she immediately took the water bag from her waist, unscrewed the stopper and handed it to her grandmother.

The water in the water bag was well water from the space. She'd tasted it the last time she'd drunk it, finding it refreshing, sweet, and tonifying. So, she'd packed a large amount for her family to drink on the road.

When the grandmother saw that it was a water bag, she pushed it again and again and said, "Ge'er, drink it. Grandma is not thirsty!"

She was thirsty at all, she just couldn't bear to leave!

Shen Qingge saw through her grandmother's thoughts, and a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes. She said softly: "Grandma, don't worry. I brought a lot of water when I left the Marquis' Mansion."

After saying this, she lifted up her gown and showed her grandmother the three bulging water bags around her waist.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, the grandmother had no choice but to take the water bag and take two sips.

Seeing this, Shen Qingge lifted the water bag from the bottom and "poured" it into her grandmother's mouth several more times.

The grandmother who was "forced" to drink coughed twice and then her body froze.

What kind of water is this?

After entering the mouth, a moist and sweet feeling instantly fills the entire mouth. With a gentle swallow, the refreshing water slides down the throat and soaks into the heart and spleen.

My grandmother pursed her lips unconsciously, and her whole body felt more relaxed and comfortable than ever before, as if all the meridians in her body were instantly opened up, and the fatigue from walking was swept away, and she felt full of energy.

Shen Qingge carefully watched her grandmother's reaction from the side. "How's it going, Grandma? Do you feel better after drinking the water?"

Grandma smiled with relief. "It feels so good. Even my bones feel relaxed. Ge'er, where did you get this water?"

Hearing his grandmother say this, Shen Qingge was overjoyed and thought to himself, the spiritual spring in this well is really good. It seems that I should give more to my family members to drink along the way to relieve everyone's fatigue.

Then, she smiled and replied, "It's drawn from the well at home. I don't think it's anything special. If grandma likes it, she can drink more!"

At this time, the fourth sister-in-law Jiang Yue and the fifth sister-in-law Bai Yu, who were following closely behind, came forward and said, "Little sister, what kind of water tastes so good?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingge handed the water bag to his fifth sister-in-law.

After drinking the water, the two sisters-in-law opened their eyes wide and praised it for being refreshing and sweet, and feeling refreshed both physically and mentally. However, they questioned whether the water was drawn from the well in the Shen Mansion.

Shen Qingge smiled slightly and said, "Of course, maybe the sisters-in-law are thirsty, so everything they drink tastes sweet."

After saying that, she took out another water bag and handed it to her elder sister-in-law Wang Lan, her two nieces Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, as well as her third sister-in-law Qin Qing and Xiao Jintang, who were a few steps away, and asked them to drink more.

After drinking the spiritual spring water, Xiao Jintang became more energetic. He even raised one arm to let Shen Qingge see how strong he was.

Shen Qingge chuckled at his amusement and jokingly said, "Okay, okay, real men are really capable. I'll leave your mother to you now. Please take good care of her!"

At this time, the third sister-in-law pulled Shen Qingge over and quietly stuffed two meat patties into her hands, whispering, "This is the food my parents gave me just now. It's noon now, and everyone must be hungry. Hurry up and take it and eat it. My eldest sister-in-law and I have already eaten!"

Looking at the meat pie handed over by his third sister-in-law, Shen Qingge felt warm in his heart. Although there was a lot of food in the jade pendant space, it could not compare to the love and fragrance of his relatives.

She nodded and quickly hid the cake in her clothes. "By the way, where are Third Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, and Rong'er?"

"She was just behind me. Oh, I almost forgot. Go check on her quickly. Your sister-in-law is feeling a little weak."

Shen Qingge quickly turned around and looked around at the team behind him.

After watching for a long time, I found that my second sister-in-law Ye Yurou was walking very slowly with her little niece Shen Rong, and was about to fall to the back of the team.

The second sister-in-law is thin and very weak. Therefore, although she entered the Shen family earlier than the third sister-in-law, she gave birth to children later. Her little niece Shen Rong is just four years old now.

When Shen Qingge looked over, Shen Rong was crying and begging her mother to hold her, and an official next to her had impatience visibly written on his face.

Fearing that the officials would cause trouble, Shen Qingge ignored the pain from her anklet and quickly stepped forward, picked up her niece, patted her back, and comforted her, "Rong'er, don't be afraid, don't cry, don't cry..."

With her comfort, the little niece soon stopped crying, but tears were still falling.

Shen Qingge took out another piece of meat pie and spiritual spring water, which made Rong'er laugh.

But the second sister-in-law beside her secretly wiped away her tears: "Such a young child, walking such a long way, what should we do! It's really hard for the child!"

Seeing his second sister-in-law like this, Shen Qingge fell into deep thought.

Of all the people in the Shen family, she was most worried about her grandmother and second sister-in-law. Her grandmother was old and had difficulty moving, often needing tonics. And her second sister-in-law was gentle and frail, as if she could be blown down by a gust of wind.

With such a body, it is really difficult for him to reach Lingnan alive!

Moreover, the current situation remains unclear. In the previous life, how the Shen family members died during their exile was completely unknown. The conversation between Xiao Mo and Su Wan, overheard in the palace yesterday, only suggested poisoning, rioting, or outright execution.

The more Shen Qingge thought about it, the more flustered he became, and his eyebrows twisted into a knot.
