Asking for a divorce on the way to exile, finding a husband is a great pleasure
Chapter 18: Almost Raising a Jackal
Grandma Li had no idea how cruel Mother Song was, and she just thought that everything she gave would eventually end up in the hands of her own daughter.
She sighed silently. Although she didn't know why the young lady refused to associate with her family and refused their help, she couldn't just watch her young lady die on the road to exile.
What's more, this time she came out with the instructions from the three young masters and grandfather in the family, asking her to take good care of Shen Yitian.
Looking at the heavy bag in her hand, although she didn't like Song's mother, if she wanted Shen Yitian to accept the things she brought, it seemed that the only way was to hand the things over to Song's mother.
But just as she handed the bundle over, something suddenly hit her. She couldn't see what it was in the darkness, but she heard a loud bang, followed by Mother Song's wailing.
"Oh! Who is it?" she exclaimed and cursed loudly.
As soon as the words fell, a figure jumped out, pushed Song's mother aside, and reached out to snatch the bag from Grandma Li's hand.
Shen Yitian held the bag in her hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
What a risk, what a risk!
Fortunately, she saw that Song's mother was acting suspiciously and followed her out, otherwise these things sent by the Shen family would have fallen into the hands of the Song family's jackals again.
"Who are you? How dare you steal things! Sir, sir, come quickly, there are robbers here!" When Song's mother saw such a big bag being snatched away, she immediately screamed.
Grandma Li didn't move. She stared at the person in front of her, her eyes a little red.
Even if the person didn't speak, she could tell at a glance that the person who snatched the bag was her young lady.
This is the person she raised since childhood, so even if she hasn't seen him for a long time, she can recognize him at a glance.
The officer guarding the other side ran over upon hearing this, drawing his knife as he ran.
Obviously, Song's mother's shout scared the police, and the police really thought Shen Yitian, who rushed out to grab the bag, was a robber.
Seeing the situation, Grandma Li hurriedly grabbed Shen Yitian. At this moment, she didn't care how much the young lady hated her and didn't want to see her. She just wanted to protect the child who had grown up under her care.
"Sir, no, she is not a robber!" she said quickly.
The officer who rushed over with a knife was furious: "Who shouted there are robbers?"
"It's her, she was just shouting nonsense." Shen Yitian pointed at Song's mother without hesitation and complained loudly.
The officer holding the knife frowned, took out the fire wick on his body and blew it, then looked at Shen Yitian carefully.
"It's you, you're the daughter-in-law of the Song family." He frowned even tighter, his face still furious as he continued, "What's going on with your family? Are you trying to cause trouble for me?"
Shen Yitian said hurriedly: "It wasn't me, she yelled on purpose. My parents came to give me something, and she wanted to snatch it away, so she yelled."
"Shut up, shut up. I don't want to meddle in your family affairs. You keep quarreling all day long." The officer waved his hand impatiently.
"Your time has come. Hurry back to the post station. If you keep talking nonsense, I will hand you all over to Yuan Tou and hang you all up." He threatened hatefully.
The officer was in his thirties or forties, with a weathered face. This wasn't his first time escorting exiled prisoners, and anything could happen on the road. He really didn't want to get involved in the prisoners' family affairs.
If they were to intervene, they would have no peace along the way, as there would be a pile of lawsuits waiting for them to judge every day.
When Song's mother saw the officer holding a knife, she wanted to howl but didn't dare to make a sound anymore.
But when she saw that such a big bag of things that she had originally got was now in Shen Yitian's hands, she felt very sorry.
Originally, she just wanted to keep Shen Yitian so that the Shen family could continue to send things and take care of the officials, but now she has to change her strategy.
So she took Shen Yitian's hand affectionately and said, "It turned out to be Tian'er. I thought it was someone else. You scared me."
Then he turned to the officer and said, "Sir, it's all my fault. I yelled carelessly. I'm sorry. This is my daughter-in-law. She suddenly came out and scared me, so I yelled carelessly."
With that fawning look, who would have thought that she was the mother of Song An, the young general who was once very popular in the court.
The corners of Shen Yitian's mouth twitched. She pulled her hand out of her arms and sneered indifferently.
"Alright, alright, I don't care if you're just shouting nonsense or doing it on purpose. Go back here right now. If you keep talking nonsense I'll hit you." The officer threatened impatiently.
It is impossible to fight. The Shen family gave them money, so they have to give them some face for the huge amount of money.
Mother Song smiled awkwardly, turned around and held Shen Yitian's hand.
"Tian'er, now that we have everything, let's go back first." She whispered.
Shen Yitian shook off her hand again, without even looking at her, and instead walked up to the officer with her bag in her arms.
"Sir, the person coming here is my wet nurse. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Can we talk?" She whispered to the officer.
The officer looked impatient and refused no matter what she said.
But before he could say anything, Shen Yitian opened the bundle and took out a big oil-paper bag from it.
"You've been leading us all for such a long time and you've worked hard. This..." Shen Yitian took a look and confirmed that there was a roast chicken inside before continuing with a smile: "Here's a roast chicken. You can take it and enjoy it with everyone later. Please be flexible and let me have a few more words with the wet nurse."
During these days of exile, not only the prisoners were tired, but the officials were also very tired.
Although they carried some dried meat with them and could chew one or two pieces from time to time to satisfy their cravings, dried meat could never be as satisfying as the fragrant and hot roast chicken.
The moment he saw the roast chicken, all the impatience on the officer's face disappeared.
They had already received money from the Shen family, and now Shen Yitian generously gave him a roast chicken. What else could he say?
But on the surface, he still had to maintain the dignity of an official.
Leng Bingbing took the roast chicken from Shen Yitian's hand and pretended to be reluctant: "Alright, since you are so pitiful, I will let you say a few more words. Hurry up, otherwise I won't be able to stop Yuantou from cursing."
Shen Yitian nodded repeatedly: "That's for sure, I will definitely not cause any trouble to you. Just a few words, and then I'll go back to the inn."
The officer didn't say anything more after hearing this. He held the roast chicken and tried hard to control the corners of his mouth from turning up.
After taking two steps, he turned back and looked at Song's mother who was looking at Shen Yitian with hope, "Are you okay now? Why don't you go back?"
Song's mother's mind buzzed. Just as she was about to coax Shen Yitian, she was called out by the officer.
She wanted to stay, but seeing that the officer was staring at her and seemed to want her to leave, she had to give up brainwashing Shen Yitian.
Shen Yitian still didn't look at her. Her burning gaze was fixed on Grandma Li, whose face was full of vicissitudes of life. She felt a little sad in her heart.
Grandma Li didn't say anything at first, but her eyes looked at Song's mother as if they were about to spit fire.
This woman is so vicious. Didn't she say that Shen Yitian refused to associate with the Shen family anymore? Otherwise, why would she leave her own young lady alone and talk to a woman like her instead?
It was not until Song's mother left that she slowly withdrew her gaze. In the dim sky, she could only see the rough outline of Shen Yitian.
Poor thing! She had raised this young lady from childhood and spoiled her so much that it had only been a short while since she last saw her. How come she looked so much thinner?
"Miss..." Grandma Li spoke tremblingly, feeling a little excited and a little uncomfortable in her heart.
