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

Leng Youran said goodbye to the two with a smile. Soon, the Leng family members finished eating, and in the end, only the old man and Leng Chengye were left.

This time Leng Chengye did not leak the information and was called by Old Man Leng to join him.

"Ran'er, your grandfather said you..."

"Well, I've already picked up the person. He will be here in two days." While saying this, Leng Youran glanced at Old Man Leng who was standing on the other side.

Both of them had just had their bodies adjusted by her using her special powers, and now they looked much better than yesterday.

When Old Master Leng received her gaze, he knew that this girl must have brought someone with her.

I just didn't expect that my granddaughter would get things done so quickly.

"What are you going to do next?"

"I think this way..."

When she finished telling him her plan, not only Leng Chengye was shocked, but even Old Man Leng was stunned.

After a while, Leng Chengye regained his thoughts, "Ran'er, is this really okay?"

"You'll know if you try it."

Old Master Leng didn't feel anything. The girl just mentioned it yesterday and brought the person here in the evening.

This place is so far away from the capital, but the child rushed back in one night. It’s no surprise that he can now come up with such a detailed plan.

"Okay, my people will cover you when the time comes. Don't worry, the people in the exile team are now very clear."

Three days later, the exile team entered a village.

Leng Youran also received a letter from Huanhuan.

Tell her that they are already waiting in the valley not far away.

Leng Youran sent a message asking them to rest where they were.

That night, Leng Youran asked Old Man Leng to ask someone to invite Zhao Xu out.

When Zhao Xu walked under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, he saw two figures in the distance.

One of them seemed particularly familiar to him.

In order to verify the guess in his mind, he quickened his pace.

When he saw who was coming, he slid to his knees with a plop.

"mother."

When Mrs. Zhuang saw Zhao Xu, she couldn't help crying out loud.

Leng Youran had been sitting on a rock under the big locust tree with her back to them. Before Zhao Xu could see who she was, he and Madam Zhuang hugged each other and cried.

"Mom, how did you get here? How did you get out? You walked such a long way, your body..."

"Xu'er, I'm fine. A kind girl brought me here. Don't worry, no one in the capital noticed me coming out."

Zhao Xu's crying voice paused slightly, and then he remembered that there was someone beside his mother. The mother and son stood up together.

Zhao Xu supported Madam Zhuang and took two steps towards Leng Youran. "Who are you?"

Leng Youran crossed her legs and stood up, straightening her dress before turning to look at Zhao Xu. "Long time no see, Commander Zhao."

Zhao Xu was surprised when he saw her face clearly: "It's you."

"Well, it's me."

"Why are you here? Why is my mother here? Who are you?"

"Commander Zhao has too many questions. I can only answer them one by one. I wonder if Commander Zhao is interested in sitting down and talking slowly."

Zhao Xu first looked at Leng Youran and saw no malice on her face. He then looked at his mother who was being supported by him. Seeing that his mother also nodded for him to sit down, Zhao Xu walked over to Leng Youran and helped Mrs. Zhuang sit on the stone.

After Mrs. Zhuang sat down, he stood in front of Leng Youran, and the gentle expression he had originally shown in front of Mrs. Zhuang also faded.

"Whatever you want to do, don't bring disaster to your family. If you have any problems, you can just come to me. You shouldn't involve my mother."

Leng Youran wasn't offended by his words. Instead, she shrugged and spread her hands, saying, "Commander Zhao, you shouldn't be saying this to me. You should be saying it to the master you're loyal to. After all, I'm your benefactor. It's rude of you to speak to me like that."

"Benefactor? What do you mean?"

"You can ask Madam Zhuang what she means. I believe it will be more convincing if she explains it."

Zhao Xu looked at her, then at his mother, and finally his eyes fell on Madam Zhuang.

"Mom, what's going on?"

When Mrs. Zhuang was asked this question, the tears that had been held back began to flow again unconsciously.

"Son, you, do you know how the emperor treats me?"

"Your Majesty? What does this have to do with Your Majesty?"

"Mother, did she say something to you that made you misunderstand His Majesty? Mother, let me tell you..."

Madam Zhuang didn't give him a chance to continue. She raised her hand and said, "Xu'er, listen to me first. Even this young lady didn't know about this matter, so how can you blame her? On the contrary, it was this young lady who said it. If it weren't for her, perhaps, perhaps I would never see you again. Woo woo woo..."

Mrs. Zhuang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves as she spoke.

As a son, it was the first time that Zhao Xu saw his mother cry so sadly. She didn't cry like this even when she was divorced by his father.

He squatted down and sat in front of Madam Zhuang. While comforting her, he said, "Mom, don't cry. Tell me what happened first."

Madam Zhuang also knew that clarifying the whole story was the most important thing at the moment. She wiped her tears with her sleeve and tried hard to stop crying. "Not long after you left, I was summoned to the palace. I originally thought that the Queen was sympathetic to you and was worried about me, an old woman, and she was very happy. I didn't expect that after I ate the snacks the Queen gave me in the palace..."

Zhao Xu and Leng Youran kept listening to Madam Zhuang talking.

The more Zhao Xu listened, the angrier he became.

Leng Youran began to understand why Madam Zhuang followed her so easily.

It turns out that Mrs. Zhuang was not like she is now, and she was not so thin before. All this was because of the snacks given to her by the Queen.

There was a chronic poison in the snack.

Not only that, the queen also sent people to take away all the servants that Zhao Xu had arranged for Madam Zhuang.

No wonder Leng Youran felt strange when he went there before.

Although the courtyard was not big, Zhao Xu had always been with Zhao Mingyao, so there shouldn't be no servants at home. It turned out that they were all captured.

"How is that possible? His Majesty would not do this to me. No..." Zhao Xu's voice became softer and softer, and if it weren't for Leng Youran's amazing hearing, he wouldn't be able to hear it clearly.

"Mother also thought it wouldn't happen, but that's how it is, Xu'er. Mother has been wondering for the past two days why the Emperor wants to kill me. Tell me, have you done something wrong, or do you have any leverage over the Emperor? Do you know? After you left, the capital was in chaos. Those families who were once close to the Emperor were robbed, and not only that, even the national treasury was stolen."

She heard these things from those who went to see the doctor when she was struggling to get medicine.

Many people also said privately that the emperor must have done something extremely treasonous to be punished by God.
