Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

However, not being able to leave this place is not a bad thing!

Shen Qingge changed her mind and now she hoped even more that the rainstorm would continue endlessly.

After all, if this torrential rain could stop the exile team from moving forward, then there was no doubt that it would also cause trouble and obstacles to the troops sent by the King of Qin.

This would give her more time to prepare, investigate the specific deployment of the enemy's forces, and even nip certain dangers in the bud.

And at this critical juncture, the person who is truly anxious and restless is obviously not her.

When this thought came to her mind, she couldn't help but look up and look towards where the officials were. As expected, the leader, Wang Gui, had a gloomy face, his lips tightly closed, and he said nothing.

In that case, she might as well just calm down and wait patiently, watching what tricks these officials could come up with!

One hour, two hours...

A long time passed, and outside the cave, there were lightning and thunder, strong winds, and raindrops flying all over the sky.

The entire entrance to the cave was soaked with rain. A strong wind mixed with the rain formed a damp, cold mist that blew into the cave.

People not far from the cave entrance couldn't help shivering, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, so they moved deeper into the cave.

Every autumn rain brings a chill, and the convicts all lament that the road to exile will be even more difficult after the temperature drops!

By this time, it was already past noon, and the exhausted convicts were all starving.

The food provided by the officials was not enough to begin with, and they had just hurried to take shelter from the rain and had lost some of their bags, so there was even less to eat.

The Wu and Zhao families had only a few shriveled steamed buns to eat. They had no choice but to break them into small pieces and soak them in boiling water to barely fill their stomachs.

But even so, the strong feeling of hunger still follows.

So they began to search the corners of the cave, hoping to find some wild vegetables that could fill their stomachs. Once they came across a wild vegetable that looked edible, they immediately picked it up, threw it into the water to cook, and then couldn't wait to put it into their mouths.

However, many of these wild vegetables tasted extremely bitter and difficult to swallow, but in order to relieve their hunger, they had to swallow them while enduring the bitterness and vomiting sour water.

In comparison, the Liu family was in a better position. When the officials visited Yunlai Town, they had even spent money to buy some food from them. Furthermore, unlike the Zhao family, the Liu family was not as wasteful as they once were, so they still had some surplus food.

Look, they are setting up a small pot and cooking rice porridge. It’s a little watery, but it’s better than nothing.

As for the Shen family, there is no need to say more. The thick rice porridge boiling in the pot exudes an enticing aroma.

After the rice porridge was cooked, Shen Qingge was extremely attentive. She quickly served everyone a bowl of steaming hot rice porridge, and at the same time made a "hush" gesture with her hand, indicating that everyone should be quiet while eating.

Puzzled expressions appeared on the faces of the sisters-in-law. They each blew gently on their bowls a few times, then raised their bowls and started drinking.

However, as soon as they took a bite, they were surprised to find a burst of rich juice in their mouths. When they took another bite, they found a round, juicy ball with a perfect salty and fragrant taste and a meaty aroma.

Jiang Yue, the forthright fourth sister-in-law, instantly widened her eyes, her face filled with unconcealable surprise. She lowered her voice and asked, "Little sister, what is this? Is it a meatball?"

Shen Qingge smiled slightly and nodded.

"Oh my god! My little sister is really amazing! I never thought that after being exiled for so long, I could still eat delicious meatballs!"

Jiang Yue was extremely excited, but she didn't dare to show it too much. She had to quickly cover her mouth with her hands and whisper softly to express her inner joy.

My little niece Shen Rong also took a bite of the meatball. She said happily in her childish voice, "Auntie, what is this? It's so delicious!"

Nephew Shen Jintang couldn't contain his excitement and rushed over to ask anxiously, "Aunt, how can you be so amazing? You can hide food like this!"

Shen Qingge quickly put down the bowl in her hand, placed two fingers on the lips of the two children, and whispered:

"Shh...your aunt is amazing, she can do magic tricks! There's more, you can eat more if you want!"

Then, three people, one big and two small, started laughing and playing quietly, and the scene seemed particularly warm.

All of this was seen by two people not far away.

Yun Yi, who was standing beside Xiao Heng, couldn't help but sigh, "It's really unexpected that Miss Shen actually has such a gentle side. I thought she was just a fierce and aggressive 'tiger lady' who knows how to wield swords and guns!"

Xiao Heng, who was sitting upright on a wooden chair, immediately tapped his arm twice with the folding fan in his hand, telling him to be careful with his words.

The next moment, Xiao Heng was so absorbed in watching that the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and his deep eyes were also twinkling with stars of light.

He was an "abandoned prince," born and raised in the inner palace. In his youth, he was accompanied only by Concubine Li and a handful of palace maids. After Concubine Li's death, he experienced a long period of loneliness until Yun Yi appeared.

For a long time, he had been accustomed to the atmosphere of intrigue and deception in the palace, and acted cautiously in everything he did, but in the end, he was still murdered by his brothers.

He had never experienced such a pure and intimate feeling of family affection as he did before his eyes. This kind of emotion was truly enviable!

Shen Qingge was also keenly aware of two pairs of eyes fixed on her. She raised her head abruptly, and her eyes met those of the two people.

Seeing this, Yun Yi's face turned red instantly. He turned his head away hurriedly and pretended to be calm as he fumbled for something on his body. His flustered look made people laugh.

Xiao Heng, on the other hand, remained very calm. He leisurely opened the exquisite folding fan in his hand, smiled at Shen Qingge, and nodded slightly.

In an instant, Shen Qingge vigilantly withdrew her gaze, only because she found that some of the officers were looking at the group of fugitives.

Wang Gui and several officials were standing on a small mound, looking down.

Wang Gui watched the raging storm outside the cave, feeling inexplicably flustered. He had a bad feeling that their plan might fail again.
