Old Mrs. Song usually doesn't care much about things, but today Shen Yitian walked in with such a big bag and it hurt her lungs, so she had to speak up and sort out the family traditions.

Aunt Song's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law originally didn't like to get involved in these matters, but since the old lady had spoken, the two sisters-in-law had no choice but to nod in agreement.

As soon as the two of them stood up, Song Yuerong also stood up.

"I'll go with you. I want to see what this woman wants to do. Does she want my brother to divorce her instead of staying in the Song family?"

The other members of the Song family looked at each other, not knowing how to respond to her.

They knew how Shen Yitian had licked Song An in the past.

But now the Song family has been confiscated and exiled, Song An has been stripped of his recently appointed position of Major General, and all the male members of the Song family have been sent into exile.

Being exiled is different from joining the army. Exiles have no official position and have to rush to the front of the army with the worst weapons in battle.

There's no military reward for winning, and you might even be punished if you lose...

Even though Song An had become the youngest general of the dynasty because of his meritorious service, he still received no preferential treatment despite his abilities.

The Song family is now in a very poor state. They will not be as naive as Song Yuerong and think that Shen Yitian will still be devoted to Song An. After all, human nature is to value profit.

Song An is not here now and has no power. Why should Shen Yitian be so devoted to him? What is she trying to achieve?

Song Yuerong didn't care about that. She followed Song's mother and others out of the door. When she saw Shen Yitian talking to the police, she rushed up without saying a word.

"Shen Yitian, what on earth are you doing? You didn't help me clean up the bunk bed, and I kindly left a place for you to sleep. What do you mean by walking out?" She asked shrill questions before she even reached Shen Yitian.

Shen Yitian looked back blankly and saw several people from the Song family walking towards her aggressively.

She frowned and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

"Tian'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you disturbing the officer so late? We should go to bed. We have to travel tomorrow." Mother Song put on a gentle smile again. She was nervous in her heart, but she still affectionately took Shen Yitian's hand.

The officer frowned, and looked at the prisoners who had run out because they didn't sleep well with impatience in his eyes.

"What are you doing? You're not sleeping in the middle of the night. Do you all want to get beaten?" He held the knife in his hand and warned in a bad tone.

Mother Song glanced at the official, the smile on her face a little forced, and said, "I'm sorry, sir, my daughter-in-law is ignorant and has caused you trouble. I will take her back now."

After saying that, he patted Shen Yitian's shoulder and said, "Tian'er, I know you've been living a good life in your mother's house, but we are in exile here. If you feel uncomfortable, please bear with it. It's not easy for the officials to escort us all day, so let's not cause trouble for them."

The two daughters-in-law of Second Aunt Song also nodded in agreement. "Sister-in-law, we are not like before now, so we should not be too pampered. It's so late and you are still not sleeping. Do you still have the energy to travel tomorrow?"

"Yes, grandma is worried about you. Look how bad this is."

The Song family members were talking to each other, and their words implied that Shen Yitian was ignorant, but everyone's eyes were desperately glancing at the bag in her hands.

Shen Yitian is not stupid, so how could she not know what they are planning?

She just smiled and said, "I won't sleep in the dormitory anymore. You guys should just go to sleep and don't worry about me."

"How can this be possible? You are a weak woman. How can we feel at ease if you live outside alone?" Song's mother said immediately.

"That's right, it's not possible." The two daughters-in-law of Aunt Song also hurriedly said.

Song Yuerong rolled her eyes. "What are you doing? You just want everyone to persuade you. Haven't you had enough of living outdoors these past two days? You're not even going to sleep in the bunk bed today?"

She was certain Shen Yitian had done it on purpose. Outside the stable was a patch of hard mud, even harder to sleep on than the grass in the wild. Who would want to sleep on mud? After a night's sleep, you'd wake up with sore all over the next day, and how could you possibly continue on your journey?

"I didn't ask you to persuade me. From now on, I have nothing to do with your Song family. Let's go our separate ways and no one will care about each other." Shen Yitian pushed away Song's mother who was sitting close to her and said lightly.

Song's mother was startled and avoided her gaze in panic, then said, "Oh, what's wrong? Why are you saying such things out of the blue?"

Shen Yitian smiled suddenly and said, "Haven't you always said you wanted to divorce me? Now that you're going to divorce me, what relationship do I have with you guys?"

Her tone was very calm, even with a hint of smile, which made people feel a slight sense of madness.

If she shouted these words at the top of her lungs, Song's mother would definitely think she was angry. But when she said it so calmly, Song's mother felt that she was determined to draw a clear line between herself and the Song family.

How can this work!

She can be nicer to Shen Yitian, but Shen Yitian cannot have no connection with the Song family, otherwise who will the Song family rely on when so many elderly, weak, women and children are exiled?

Her own family is thousands of miles away, and the other families don't have much power, and none of them is as rich as the Shen family.

Apart from the Shen family who would arrange for officials to help Shen Yitian, the families of the other families would not interfere in this matter at all.

"Tian'er, I said the wrong thing because I was excited that day. Please don't hold it against me, okay?" She smiled bitterly, and her tone was like she was coaxing an ignorant child.

"You've been angry for two days now. I know you've been wronged, and I apologize to you. If you're still not satisfied, how about I kneel down for you? It's not safe outside, so you should come back to the house with me. Otherwise, if something happens to you, how am I going to explain it to An'er?"

Song Yuerong was so angry when she saw her mother being so humble.

"Shen Yitian, you're almost done. What else do you want from my mother? She's your mother-in-law, and you actually asked her to apologize to you?"

"Yes, this is a bit too much. How can we ask the mother-in-law to apologize? This is extremely unfilial." The two sisters-in-law of Aunt Song also said.

"Unfilial, what? Has it committed one of the seven grounds for divorce? Can I divorce my wife?" Shen Yitian looked a little excited and asked anxiously.

The officer watched them arguing with each other, his brows furrowed in annoyance.

"I'm telling you, are you done yet? If you don't go back, I'm going to take action." He grasped the hilt of the knife and was about to draw it.

Song Yuerong was startled and immediately hid behind Song's mother.

The two sisters-in-law of Second Aunt Song were also very frightened. They didn't care whether Shen Yitian listened to their advice or not, and hurriedly walked towards the dormitory together.

Shen Yitian shrugged, turned and walked in another direction. Song's mother hurriedly pulled her back.

"Tian'er, stop making trouble. If the official gets angry and wants to punish your mother, she won't be able to protect you. Let's go back to the house."
