Exile at the start? The princess is no ordinary woman.

After the caravan stopped, the escorts spent a quarter of an hour arranging things at the camp. Then they prepared to enter Cuilin Town to make purchases. At this time, Chen Gang, not forgetting his savior, ran up to Gu Nanzhi.

"Miss Gu, we're heading to town to do some shopping. Is there anything you need that I can bring back for you?"

She was determined to do the shopping herself; how could she not seize such a good opportunity?

"No need, I want to go with you."

After speaking, Gu Nanzhi ignored Chen Gang's reaction and turned to the five people in the small team, "I'm going to buy some things. You guys wait here, I'll bring you back some good food."

At this moment, the five people were like children in Gu Nanzhi's eyes. As the eldest sister, they were all waiting for her to feed them.

Chen Gang hesitated for two seconds, then realized what he meant. "Alright, Miss Gu, I'll talk to my brother and ask him to agree to let you come along."

"Nan Nan, be careful in everything, don't be stingy with the money."

"Madam, would you like me to accompany you?"

"Miss, please be careful."

Everyone in their group reacted differently to Gu Nanzhi's words, but no one raised any objections; instead, they agreed and worried about her safety.

In particular, Jun Yanchen's words surprised Gu Nanzhi: "There's no need to be frugal with silver notes." This statement was very generous, giving the impression that one could spend it freely and then repay later.

This person is actually quite nice!

"I plan to buy some food, pots and pans, etc. The food the escorts gave us is really unpalatable, so we'll cook for ourselves for the rest of the journey."

Then tell me your clothing and shoe sizes. If there's a clothing store, I'll buy you two outfits for each of you. You can't wear the same outfit for two months, can you?

She's such a good person, so kind. Oh well, I'll just consider it because they're all very nice to people.

"Madam, I am terrified. How could I possibly trouble you? Please, Madam, purchase the items for our master."

As subordinates and servants, how dare they trouble their masters to go to such lengths for them, even though they knew it was inappropriate that they hadn't had any clothes to change into for the past two months.

"Alright, alright, your master paid anyway, hurry up and don't waste time, Lord Chen is waiting."

In ancient times, hierarchy was highly valued, making conversation difficult and troublesome. Gu Nanzhi showed impatience, but in the end, they still gave their measurements.

Having received the information, Gu Nanzhi didn't linger and headed towards Chen Qiang. She needed his permission to go together, but Gu Nanzhi didn't think he would refuse, after all, he had money.

It wasn't just Gu Nanzhi who had this idea—wanting to go to town with the escorts to buy supplies. Others also had the same idea and had already approached the escorts, but they were all refused.

If someone only knows how to state their request without giving anything in return, the guards will naturally not be friendly to them.

Gu Nanzhi ignored this and immediately threw ten taels of silver at Chen Qiang. "Lord Chen, I need to go into town. May I ask?"

Chen Gang had already told Gu Nanzhi about this matter before she arrived. Now, Chen Gang weighed the silver in his hand, hesitated for only two seconds, and then gave his answer.

"Can"

See? Money makes things convenient. Gu Nanzhi likes this kind of straightforward approach.

Gu Nanzhi was immediately dissatisfied that she had obtained consent so easily in front of others, and questioned Chen Qiang and the others.

"Why? Why should she be allowed to go?"

"Why should she be allowed to go? They're all exiles, yet they've not only had their shackles removed, but they've also received preferential treatment."

"..."

These people were originally dissatisfied with the unfair treatment by the escorts, and Gu Nanzhi was prepared to remain a spectator. However, they actually pointed their fingers at her.

That would upset her; she hates being pointed at.

"Why should I? Of course, it's because I'm rich. Are you blind?"

As she spoke, Gu Nanzhi's gaze darkened slightly, and she continued, "If you still want your finger, you'd better take it back."

She was clearly just a woman, yet she inexplicably gave off an extremely strong sense of oppression. The danger in her eyes made those who were crying out for injustice tremble and feel fear.

Following Gu Nanzhi's words, Chen Qiang also spoke up.

"Want to enter the town? Ten taels each. If you don't have the money, don't waste my time."

"It would be foolish not to make money when there is money to be made. If it were a normal person, they would agree to make money if they were offered five taels of silver. But with Gu Nanzhi taking the lead, why don't they make more money?"

These people didn't have as much money as Gu Nanzhi. Their money was limited, the journey was long and uncertain, and they would still have to live once they arrived at their place of exile. So they had to be careful with their money. Ten taels of silver was already a lot.

The escorts were adamant, and those who wanted to go into town eventually returned to their families. After discussion, they reluctantly paid ten taels of silver each, and each family contributed enough to send one person into town with the escorts.

The escorts, led by Chen Qiang, eliminated four people, so eight people entered the town. Among them, only Gu Nanzhi was a woman, while the other three families sent out men.

Upon arriving in town, the exiles were naturally not allowed to act alone; they needed to be accompanied by escorts to make purchases. When assigning people to their posts...

Chen Gang offered to take care of Gu Nanzhi early on, and Gu Nanzhi was naturally happy to have someone with her, as it would be easier to manage.

In the end, Chen Gang only needed to keep an eye on Gu Nanzhi. With Chen Gang by her side, Gu Nanzhi began her shopping spree.

"Miss Gu, what do you need to collect?"

"Let's go find a clothing store and buy a few outfits."

She had already stored the food, pots, pans, and other utensils in her spatial storage. She could take them out later when she found an opportunity to get Chen Gang away. There was no need to spend extra money on things she already had.

What you need to pay for is what's not available in these spaces;

"Yes, Miss Gu, I'll accompany you."

"Um"

The two searched for clothing shops in the market streets. To others, Gu Nanzhi looked like a young lady from a wealthy family, while Chen Gang was her bodyguard.

"Miss, are you looking to buy clothes? Feel free to browse; our clothes are the best in town."

The two entered the clothing shop, where the woman inside immediately greeted them warmly upon seeing customers. She sized up Gu Nanzhi, noting her distinguished air and demeanor, concluding she must be a young lady from a wealthy family.

They lived in a small town, and the clothing shops weren't doing very well. The prices were relatively high, so most people opted to buy fabric and make their own clothes at home.

When someone enters the store, naturally you have to work hard to promote it;

"Hello boss, do you have clothing, shoes, and other items in your store?"

"Yes, yes, yes, please come this way, esteemed guest."

The shop owner was delighted to hear the customer ask such a question; it seemed the customer intended to buy everything, so he had to give her a proper recommendation.

"Honorable guest, please look here. These are women's clothes, and those are men's. You have an elegant demeanor; you would surely look beautiful in this turquoise..."
