When Shen Yitian heard Yuan Dutou's voice outside, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Grandma Li gave Shengsheng a wink, and Shengsheng immediately understood. She folded the quilt on the bed and hid herself in the bed curtains.

From Shen Yitian's perspective, she could see Shengsheng's white undershirt, which she had not yet had time to put on her outer coat.

But from the door, you can only see the quilt on the bed.

Grandma Li walked to the door and looked back to confirm. After making sure that Shengsheng could not be seen in this direction, she opened the door.

Yesterday, Shen Yitian left the post station wearing Shengsheng's clothes and has not entered the inn again since then.

If Shengsheng appeared in Shen Yitian's room at this time, he would definitely be questioned more.

Shen Yitian could see that Shengsheng performed this move very skillfully, and she must have practiced it before she came back.

"Ms. Shen, why are you dawdling for so long? Hurry up and get on with your business." As soon as the door opened, Yuan Dutou said bluntly.

"I'm coming. I was so tired from traveling that I fell into a deep sleep." Shen Yitian smiled embarrassedly, handed the towel to Grandma Li, and walked out.

When Yuan Dutou saw that she actually had someone serving her, he couldn't help but frown.

But thinking about the benefits given by the Shen family and the fact that Shen Yitian had helped a lot along the way, he turned a blind eye.

Grandma Li was very considerate and had prepared breakfast long before she returned. Worried that she wouldn't have enough time to eat, she prepared boiled eggs and a few hot buns.

Although these buns were not as good as the ones the hunter gave her last time, they were still delicious. She had a lot of things in her space, so after taking two buns, she pretended to stuff them into her bag, but in fact she just threw them into her space.

This bun is filled with fresh meat. It tastes good but you will get sick of it if you eat too much. So she changed it and got two more buns with other fillings.

Well, this way she can eat buns openly.

Not to mention, after running around all night, she was really hungry.

It was indeed enjoyable to eat the buns in big mouthfuls, but she also felt a little uncomfortable facing the vague gazes of others.

Song Yuerong has been much more well-behaved since she was beaten with a stick. Now, with the support of her mother, she was drooling over the hot buns in Shen Yitian's hand.

Yuan Dutou has been very aggressive lately, and he won't let them buy their own food. Aside from yesterday at the post station, they've been eating steamed buns and cornbread for the past few days. That was the last time they had some meat at the post station, but now they're on the road, they can't eat any more.

She didn't like eating steamed buns before, thinking that they were something only poor people would eat. But now, God knows how much she wanted to have a bite of the meat bun in Shen Yitian's hand.

Damn Shen Yitian, holding so many buns and not sharing any with them, so selfish.

She gritted her teeth and cursed Shen Yitian in her heart, while Song Xiaer had already run to Shen Yitian's side.

"Cousin, did you sleep well last night?" She asked Shen Yitian in a soft voice, smiling.

The question was directed at Shen Yitian, but his eyes were fixed on the bun in Shen Yitian's hand without moving away.

Shen Yitian's heart softened when she saw her, and she smiled and said, "It's okay."

"Well, I didn't sleep very well." Xia'er said a little melancholy.

The little person's melancholy look makes people feel both distressed and want to laugh.

"Really? Why didn't you sleep well?" Shen Yitian followed her words and asked with a smile.

She was originally teasing her as if she were a child, but this little girl caught her eye from the beginning, so teasing her was just a change of mood.

"Because Xia'er is not full." Xia'er's eyes flashed, as if she was looking at something.

Shen Yitian looked in the direction of her flickering eyes calmly, and saw Aunt Song gesticulating and saying something.

The corners of her mouth twitched. Good, Aunt Song finally took action against Song Xiaer.

"Xia'er, why aren't you full? Didn't you order vegetables and rice yesterday?" She put away the smile on her face and asked softly.

Xia'er blinked and frowned slightly, as if she was thinking hard about something.

Of course Shen Yitian knew what she was thinking. She must be thinking about what Aunt Song had taught her just now.

This child is cute, but with Aunt Song nagging him like this, he will be led astray sooner or later.

The child is cute and she likes this little girl, but she will not let this little girl become a handle for the Song family to control her.

So she ate the bun in her hand and said, "Is that so? Then hurry up and go. If we can get to the place we were supposed to go to by the time stipulated by the captain, maybe he will be in a good mood and give you kids more food."

What she said was not nonsense. Since his exile, Yuan Dutou had indeed taken good care of these children.

Except for the annoying brat Fuguier, almost all the other children were taken care of.

Of course, it's still worse than Shen Yitian.

"But...Xia'er is very hungry now." Xia'er seemed to have not expected that she would refuse her. She sniffed and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

"Are you hungry yourself, or did your mother send you to ask me for buns?" Shen Yitian picked up another bun, ate it while walking, and asked.

Xia'er was stunned, and she subconsciously looked towards Aunt Song.

Her mother hadn't taught her how to respond to this question, so she didn't know what to do.

"Xia'er, I can give you buns, but you can't lie to me. If you are really hungry, it's okay for me to give you some, but you can't ask me for buns for others, not even your mother." Shen Yitian swallowed the bun in her mouth again and said with a cold face.

"Do you remember what you promised me when I first gave you something?"

It was at night that day, and she gave green dates. Song Xiaer promised not to tell her mother.

She did it at that time, so Shen Yitian continued to give her food.

"But cousin, my mother is hungry too." Song Xiaer cried, looking pitiful, with snot bubbles almost coming out of her nose.

"Yes, she is hungry, but that has nothing to do with me. You had dinner yesterday. If you want, you can buy some food at the post station in the morning." Shen Yitian looked at Aunt Song over there and said, deliberately raising her voice a little.

"But you didn't buy it. I know you have money, but you just can't bear to part with it. If you can't bear to part with it, then just bear with it. Why are you asking me for it?"

Yuan Dutou did not allow them to go outside to buy dry food, but he did not say that they could not buy it at the post station.

The Song family was exiled, but Song's mother was wealthy. Shen Yitian knew that she had hidden a lot of valuables and had even swindled money from the Shen family before.

Not to mention the delicious food and drinks along the way, it should not be a problem to prepare some decent dry food during the exile.

It is normal for them to hide their money and not want to spend it. After all, they don't know what the situation will be like when they arrive at the place of exile, so it is understandable that they keep the money for self-defense.

But, it was outrageous that they put the silver away and asked her for food.
