After I became a maid, I relied on fortune-telling to support the whole family of the abandoned prin

Xiao Yanxi's face darkened slightly. "According to the rules of past dynasties, princes are not allowed to maintain private armies. Otherwise, it will be considered as rebellion. I don't have the courage to do that."

Old Master Chen's face looked a little ugly. At this time, they still dared to hide it from him. It was simply outrageous!

Although the regulations of all dynasties prohibit princes from keeping private soldiers, which ambitious prince would not keep soldiers?

He was sure that Xiao Yanxi not only had private soldiers, but also had an army openly loyal to him. However, in the past ten years, Mr. Chen had no clues at all.

But don't worry, he will know sooner or later.

Although he was furious in his heart, he had to agree on the surface: "Young Master, you are right. I was confused and spoke nonsense."

At noon, the sun was scorching. Everyone was walking under the sun and there was no wind at all. Most people couldn't bear it.

Seeing her daughter almost fainted, Madam Chen quickly stepped forward and said to Wang Tiezhu, "Officer, it's too hot out here. Why don't we find a place to rest?"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Tiezhu whipped Madam Chen with the whip in his hand, and Madam Chen screamed immediately.

Old Madam Chen on Uncle Chen's back shuddered, terrified.

"You think we don't want to rest? You're the only ones who are hot, aren't we? It's because some people took too long this morning!"

Chen Xinyu, the eldest daughter of the Chen family, saw her mother being beaten. Her eyes immediately turned red and she quickly stepped forward to support Mrs. Chen. "Mom, are you okay?"

The two sons of the first wife also hurried forward to check on Madam Chen's injuries.

"Mom, are you okay?"

"Hey, how can you hit someone? You're just a small official!"

Wang Tiezhu snorted coldly, "Why should I hit her? She intentionally disrupted the order, so she deserves to be beaten. All of you, behave yourself! You thought you were nobles in the Duke's Mansion, but now you are just pariahs!"

Chen Xinyu wanted to argue, but was stopped by Mrs. Chen Er: "Come on, we are not like before. We have to endure any grievances. If you go against the officials, you don't know what suffering you will endure on the road of exile!"

Another Chen family member curled his lips: "If it weren't for some people delaying our journey, we wouldn't have to suffer like this!"

As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone in the Chen family looked at Xiao Yanxi with resentment.

A hint of success flashed in Wang Tiezhu and Song Qiang's eyes. Although they could not deal with Xiao Yanxi directly, with the people from the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion around, Xiao Yanxi and his group would not have an easy time.

The people on Xiao Yanxi's side didn't take the Chen family seriously at all and just went on their own way.

Xie Fanjin also had to pay attention to the roadside, thinking of stepping on some herbs to treat Xiao Yanxi.

Qin Zhenzhen was a little skeptical: "She, she is just a servant girl. How can she draw talismans and heal illnesses? Is that possible?"

If you have such ability, why would you still be a maid? You could just become a princess!

Bingyi couldn't figure it out, Jin couldn't figure it out, and Xiao Yanxi couldn't figure it out even more.

But, at least, Xie Fanjin really has some skills, right?

Even if it's just bluffing, it's still a skill.

"Zhenzhen, give..."

Everyone was walking dejectedly. Chen Xinyu came over at some point and handed Qin Zhenzhen a bottle of medicine.

Chen Xinyu lowered her voice and said, "Hurry up and let your cousin take the medicine for treating external injuries!"

This kind of good thing is very precious in this situation. The fact that Chen Xinyu can give it to Xiao Yanxi shows her thoughts.

Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for Xiao Yanxi to hear clearly.

Qin Zhenzhen was delighted: "Thank you, cousin, you are the best!"

I thought Xiao Yanxi would be touched, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yanxi said to Qin Zhenzhen in a cold voice: "Go back. Thank you for your kindness, Miss Chen."

"Third brother..." Qin Zhenzhen was a little reluctant. The medicine from the Duke of Yingguo's mansion must be more effective than the herbs picked by Xie Fanjin. Why didn't Xiao Yanxi appreciate it?

Chen Xinyu didn't understand why Xiao Yanxi would reject her kindness, but she still said patiently, "Cousin, my second uncle and second aunt were a little harsh before. I apologize to you on their behalf. Don't take it to heart. After all, we are still family!"

Xiao Yanxi said with a cold face: "No reward without merit, and besides, we are not really a family."

"Xinyu, what are you doing!"

Mrs. Chen Er was sharp-eyed. Seeing that Chen Xinyu had been pestering Xiao Yanxi, she hurried over. When she saw the medicine bottle in Qin Zhenzhen's hand, her face changed and she snatched it away rudely and put it in her pocket.

Chen Xinyu still wanted to come back, but Mrs. Chen Er was annoyed: "Are you stupid? Didn't you hear that he was about to break off all ties with our Chen family? Our Chen family has been harmed by him to this point, and you still sent him medicine? Are you stupid!"

"Second Aunt..."

Mrs. Chen Er interrupted Chen Xinyu: "If you dare to do this again, I will tell your grandmother!"

The whole family has suffered, but Chen Xinyu still dares to deliver medicine to Xiao Yanxi. She is such a jerk!

If it weren't for the good things that the Chen family's first wife still had, Mrs. Chen Er would have wanted to slap Chen Xinyu.

I thought she was the high and mighty daughter of the Chen family. Now this medicine can save lives, but she gave it to Xiao Yanxi. She must be crazy!

Mrs. Chen Er glared at Xiao Yanxi fiercely and left.

Chen Xinyu's face looked ugly and she was full of anger. She was angry at Xiao Yanxi for being ungrateful and at Mrs. Chen Er for being shameless and stealing their eldest wife's things.

"Mom... I'm hungry..." Chen Xiaobao, the young master of the Chen family, was sweating even though he was being carried on someone's back.

It's almost noon, and the meal hasn't been served yet. Do you want to starve him to death?

Mrs. Chen Er hesitated for a moment, then took out a cake from her bag and said, "Son, have a bite first. I'll make you something delicious tonight!"

When Chen Xiaobao saw that his lunch turned out to be a piece of broken cake, he was immediately disgusted and threw it far away, kicking his legs and crying: "I don't want to eat this broken thing, I want to eat braised pork, I want to eat braised pork elbow, and eight-treasure duck!"

Yuan Pozi, the servant of the Chen family who was carrying Chen Xiaobao, was already exhausted. When he did this, Yuan Pozi staggered and fell directly to the ground.

Chen Xiaobao was startled and cried even harder.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Chen Er kicked Mrs. Yuan hard and quickly held the child in her arms. This was her precious baby. She was almost thirty years old when she gave birth to such a son. If the child fell and was injured, wouldn't it be the end of his life?

"Damn it, what are you doing for a living!"

She cursed and quickly coaxed the child: "My dear, we are in exile now and there is no meat to eat. Please be patient!"

"No, I want to eat meat... I want to eat meat!"

Seeing that the second branch was about to fall behind, Wang Tiezhu whipped the ground with his whip: "What are you doing? Hurry up and get going. If we can't reach the designated location by night, we will have to travel at night!"

Mrs. Chen gnashed her teeth, but could only vent her anger on Mrs. Yuan: "You lowly thing, why don't you come and carry my son on your back!"

Mrs. Yuan had a sad face and felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have been soft-hearted and stayed to be exiled with the Chen family.

I should have run away with those servants at the beginning!

Chen Xiaobao was still crying, and Madam Chen Er tried to comfort him for a long time, but to no avail. In a fit of rage, she said to Chen Xiaobao, "If you want to eat meat, go ask Xiao Yanxi for it. He owes it to us!"
