Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

When Zhao Xu heard her words, he tightened his grip on the bowl, looking as if he was ready to throw the bowl in her face at any moment.

"It's like this. My grandmother has been unconscious since she had that dream. My father has government affairs to attend to, and my brother and sister-in-law are also busy, so I had no choice but to come to the capital to consult divination for my grandmother. I learned from Taoist Lingyin of Baiyun Temple that the only way to make my grandmother better is to do more good deeds. So my maid and I prepared some extra food before leaving the capital. First, we wanted to fill our stomachs along the way, and second, we wanted to do more good deeds along the way. If you don't believe me, you can take a look at our carriage. It's now filled with food, except for the space for one person."

Leng Youran deliberately revealed some information in her words, such as her father was busy with government affairs and must hold an official position, and secondly, she would do more good deeds along the way, and perhaps there would be a day when they would meet again.

Zhao Xu was a smart man, so he naturally understood what she meant, but he would not dispel his suspicions just because of her few words.

Following her words, he walked towards the carriage with the bowl in his hand. When he lifted the curtain and saw the carriage full of food, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"It seems that I really misjudged the two girls."

"It's okay. I know this is suspicious, but I want to see my grandmother when I return. So, please don't be offended, sir."

Zhao Xu didn't say anything. Instead, he picked up the bowl and took a sip of the mutton soup. He suppressed the words of praise in his heart and nodded slightly. "Miss, your wish will come true."

"Thank you, sir. By the way, sir, I have some dry food here. Would you like to have some?" Leng Youran took out a few cold steamed buns from the carriage.

Zhao Xu didn't dislike it and took the steamed bun and started eating.

He had no intention of leaving and just sat by the fire where the two of them were cooking.

Leng Youran and Lele didn't feel uncomfortable and took their own bowls to start eating.

After Zhao Xu finished two full bowls, he was ready to leave with a feeling of being unsatisfied.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Leng Youran couldn't help but said, "Sir, could you tell your leader that I still have a lot of food here. Can you give some to those people? If not, just pretend I didn't say anything. I just, just want to accumulate more merit..." Leng Youran said the rest of the words with aggrieved tone.

It seemed as if she would cry if Zhao Xu didn't agree.

Zhao Xu glanced at the big pot in front of him. There was indeed a lot of food in it. Although it was not enough to fill the exiles, a small bowl was enough for each person.

It seemed that the woman had already made up her mind, but she just didn't find the chance to say it. But he just came over.

Now, the escort has been fed by the master and servant, and he has also eaten their food. It seems not good to refuse now.

I could only reluctantly say: "Okay, but don't say anything more to them, otherwise..."

"I know, I know. Thank you, thank you so much. If you go to Liangzhou, I will definitely ask my father to treat you to a banquet."

Zhao Xu didn't answer her and turned away.

After Zhao Xu left, Leng Youran and Lele looked at each other quietly, then carried the big pot and walked towards the exiled crowd.

With Zhao Xu's consent, the officers and soldiers naturally went over to help after receiving their benefits.

Leng Youran asked Lele to take two bags of steamed buns from the carriage and share them with them one by one.

After Zhao Xu came back, the deputy commander stood with him and watched Leng Youran and the other person distribute things in an orderly manner.

"Boss, is this okay?"

"No, you have to spit out the food you just ate and return it intact."

The deputy commander covered his mouth and stopped talking.

How can this be? I finally had a full meal, how can I vomit it out?

"Okay, just watch them and don't let those people cause any trouble."

"Okay, I'll let my brothers pay attention."

Zhao Xu felt relieved when he saw that Leng Youran and the others did not have much contact with the exiles.

In his opinion, what could two women do under their noses?

Since he ate their food, he could consider this as helping her.

He did not doubt Leng Youran's words. After all, Taoist Lingyin was still very famous. Since he said it was useful, maybe it really was useful!

Leng Youran continued to distribute steamed buns in an orderly manner. When the Leng family came over, she deliberately replaced the cold steamed buns in her pocket with warm ones.

Everyone took it from Mr. Leng silently and thanked her.

When Li Tianze came over, he couldn't help but look at her twice more. Leng Youran was afraid that others would notice something strange, so she just nodded slightly.

Of course, for his health, Leng Youran followed suit and gave him a hot steamed bun.

Li Tianze tightened his grip unconsciously when he received the steamed bun, but he didn't say anything stupid.

"Thank you."

Leng Youran couldn't help but look over when she heard his voice, but when she looked over, he had already turned and left.

Except for the Leng family and those who had left home, Leng Youran did not exchange the steamed buns. The buns given to them were cold and hard. However, for the exiles, having a bowl of hot soup with steamed buns was already a great thing.

She distributed the soup very quickly, and soon the whole pot was empty. With the help of the officers and soldiers, they quickly packed up and returned to the carriage.

Neither she nor Helele could sleep at night, always paying attention to the situation outside the carriage.

"Master, what should we do tomorrow?"

"Let's go tomorrow and don't let them get suspicious."

"So we're not going to care about the master anymore?"

Leng Youran didn't say anything, but closed her eyes and dozed off.

It's okay to do this once or twice, but if it happens every time, Zhao Xu and the others will definitely be suspicious.

I don’t know what the situation is like on Huanhuan’s side. If they progress faster, she won’t have to worry.

Seeing that his master didn't say anything, Lele also shut up and lifted the curtain of the carriage to observe the situation outside.

The carriage was indeed much more spacious without the four bags of steamed buns, and the two of them didn't feel crowded at all sitting inside.

Before, she was curious about why the lady asked her to buy so many things, but now it seems that she had prepared them in advance.

She now admires the young lady very much. She never expected that the young lady would be so smart after she was no longer stupid. Not only smart but also powerful.

None of them thought that the exile team would rest on flat ground, but their master did.

Although this method was a bit risky, it was successful.

They did not get enough rest, and neither did the people of the Leng family, including Li Tianze.

"Master, Ran'er is too bold. I really don't know what she will do next." Hua Qinrou said to Leng Chengye in a low voice.
