With the departure of the officers and soldiers, the originally noisy inn returned to peace, but everyone was still in shock.

The innkeeper was busy cleaning up the mess in the inn and ordered his servants to clean up everywhere, including the dead crows on the ground.

He pretended to chat with the villagers around him at the door of the inn, fearing that what happened today would be spread as a rumor and affect the inn's future business.

The flock of crows that were circling in the sky disappeared without a trace, and the prisoners spontaneously helped the servants in the store to clean the yard and pack their bags.

Because the leader Wang Gui had just given the order to stay for a while, have lunch, and wait until the Fifth Prince had rested. Then the convict group had to continue their march, enter the Anshan County government, pass through the city, and go straight out of the city.

The exiled officials were also divided into two groups according to the order, one group packed the luggage, and the other distributed dry food to the prisoners.

The innkeeper was a businessman. After he had dealt with the affairs in the inn, he ordered the servants to prepare meals for the officials and even cooked fragrant rice porridge for the convicts.

He knew that he couldn't afford to offend this group of people from top to bottom, so he might as well suffer a little loss to buy peace in the future.

After the previous "crow incident", the convicts refused to sit with the Shen family. Even the Zhao family, who had always been on good terms with the Shen family, seemed to keep their distance.

Shen Qingge naturally understood. Who wouldn't feel scared when seeing such a scene? It's human nature.

After everyone packed their bags and ate and drank their fill, the officers, seeing it was still early, gave the prisoners an hour to rest. Then everyone began chatting and laughing.

At this time, the grandmother grabbed Shen Qingge's sleeve, brought her to the shade under the big tree beside her, and asked in a deep voice:

"Ge'er, tell me, how did you know that the crow wasn't coming to attack us?"

Shen Qingge paused when she heard this, and then decided to tell her grandmother the truth. After all, she had planned to talk to her grandmother and sisters-in-law about some things that were worth talking about.

Then, she whispered, "Because, these crows were summoned by my granddaughter."

When the grandmother heard this, her eyes widened immediately, and she was quite shocked. She stretched out her old hands and held Shen Qingge's hands. She was speechless for a long time. She was worried that her granddaughter had been provoked by some evil creature.

Unexpectedly, Shen Qingge remained calm. She continued, "Grandma, do you remember when I asked you about my mother's life experience a while ago?"

Grandma still nodded in confusion.

"That's because I discovered that my bloodline is different from that of ordinary people. During my exile, I was injured and discovered that my blood could actually control animals.

Later, by chance, I found a ring among my mother's belongings that I had treasured."

As he spoke, Shen Qingge took out the Seven Treasures Glazed Ring from his arms and handed it to his grandmother.

Grandma took the ring and examined it carefully. Seven glass beads of different colors were cleverly inlaid together, shining brightly. It was obvious at a glance that it was no ordinary item.

Shen Qingge's voice came again: "It is said that this is a token of the Saint of the Lingnan Xiyue Kingdom. My mother is their Saint, so naturally I have inherited her bloodline."

She tried to explain things as clearly as possible, but she didn't want to say too much so that her grandmother wouldn't be overwhelmed.

After hearing what Shen Qingge said, the grandmother was shocked and fell into deep thought.

She began to recall every detail of her daughter-in-law's past, and she found that she was indeed different from ordinary women. She had once doubted her daughter-in-law's background, but her son dispelled this idea.

In addition, her daughter-in-law is a gentle and virtuous person. She has always managed the Shen family well, and the family lives in harmony. She has never said anything more.

However, she is not a pedantic person. This world is full of everything, and there are always talented people who have learned immortal arts, so it is normal for some people to have special bloodlines.

Now she is very grateful that her granddaughter has such a bloodline blessing, which can ensure her granddaughter's safety.

Thinking of this, she put away her shocked expression and gave Shen Qingge a kind smile:

"So that's how it is. I feel much more relieved then! You little girl, why didn't you tell grandma earlier? Do you think grandma is an old stubborn person and afraid of scaring me?

It's okay. Now that I've seen my granddaughter possess this ability, I'm naturally relieved. I don't have to worry about your safety all the time!"

After saying that, she reached out and stroked Shen Qingge's head.

Shen Qingge leaned on her grandmother's shoulder and said coquettishly:

"I'm just worried that you might be worried. So, from now on, if you see something strange, don't be afraid. That's the blood that my mother gave me, protecting our family."

The eldest sister-in-law Wang Lan and the second sister-in-law Ye Yurou were closer to the two of them and also heard the general idea.

The second sister-in-law seemed to be thinking about something, and after a moment she asked with a little surprise:

"So, little sister, you always have some fresh food on you. It's brought to you by those animals, right?"

Shen Qingge was slightly stunned, then smiled and nodded. As long as her family members were no longer worried, what she said today would have achieved its effect, no matter how much truth it contained!

……

In the upper room of the Tianzi Building.

Xiao Heng leaned against the window and looked at the scene in the backyard through the window frame.

He saw Shen Qingge talking and laughing with his family, and they were having a great time, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, Yun Yi, who had packed his luggage, walked over. He followed Xiao Heng's gaze and saw Shen Qingge in the yard. He then smiled.

But he had something to remind the prince, so he had to speak and disturb the prince's "elegant mood".

He said solemnly, "Master, we are about to depart. Are you really planning to attend the banquet that County Magistrate Zhang is hosting tomorrow at noon?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Heng, who was standing by the window, nodded solemnly in agreement, but his gaze remained fixed.

"However, I feel that the County Magistrate Zhang has ill intentions and may be detrimental to His Majesty."

"Will running away solve the problem? Will they stop sending troops to hunt us down? Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'd really like to see how far they can push things."

"But......"

"No need to say more. At least they wouldn't dare to kill me directly at the banquet. After all, I'm the prince, and they don't want to get into trouble.

At most, they will try to find some delayed-onset poison, and then we just need to be careful and cautious.

Ever since I was poisoned by the Seven Star Begonia, I can tell the difference between ordinary poisons by the smell. I don't need to be afraid of them!"

Yun Yi pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. Indeed, the prince's kung fu was not weak, and now that he had recovered almost all of his strength, those little tricks could not threaten him at all.

But he looked towards the courtyard worriedly and said, "What about Madam Shen? They are fugitives, and those people will not show mercy."
