Chapter 46 What a big scapegoat

On the other side, Shen Yishan's family was also closely watching Wei Chengyi and his friends' cart. Compared to the old lady and the people from the second and third rooms, they had it harder, especially the Shen Xiangdong brothers. It was not until last night when they had their own room that they realized how serious their injuries were. Even after applying medicine, they still felt severe pain.

"Dad, Mom, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, my sister wouldn't be like this."

Looking at them cautiously, Shen Xiangyue began to wipe away her tears as she spoke. If she had not mentioned asking Shen Xiangwan to borrow the water bag yesterday, her two brothers would not have been injured. In addition, she failed to seduce the third prince in public, and instead embarrassed everyone. Although her parents and brothers did not say anything, her two sisters-in-law were somewhat unhappy. They had given her the cold shoulder several times since last night. While she secretly hated them in her heart, she had to find a way to win over her parents and them. If she lost their favor, she would really be dead.

"Isn't it your fault?"

Pursing her lips, Wang Wan'er glared at her unhappily. She was Shen Xiangdong's legal wife and had given birth to a son and a daughter for him. She had been married into the prime minister's mansion for several years and knew very well that this sister-in-law was not as weak as she seemed.

It was fine before, but ever since she found out that she was not the biological daughter of the Shen family, and yet was still so close to her husband and second uncle, she started to feel uncomfortable.

Coupled with what happened yesterday, she disliked her even more. She couldn't understand why her parents and husband were still protecting her and even booked a room for her alone last night.

"Sister-in-law..."

"Shut up!"

Shen Xiangyue's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and Shen Xiangdong hurriedly scolded her.

"Humph."

In the past, Wang Wan'er would have just let it go, but now, her face was filled with naked mockery.

"Wan'er."

Shen Xiangdong felt somewhat embarrassed, and his voice became even deeper, with a clear warning in it.

"What? Do I have to apologize to her?"

Seeing this, Wang Wan'er retorted angrily, pointing her finger at Shen Xiangyue who was pretending to be aggrieved.

"you···"

"enough."

Shen Xiangdong was obviously not expecting that his usually gentle wife would have such a petty temper at such a time. But before he could flare up, Shen Yishan growled to stop them. After making sure that they would not make any more noise, he could not help but look at Wei Chengyi's family frequently. Not to mention his two injured sons, even he felt sore all over when he woke up this morning. If only he could get that rebellious daughter Shen Xiangwan to give up the cart.

They were not the only ones who had this idea. The elders from the Wei family branch also thought so. They all claimed that it was their own family that had harmed them and that they should be compensated. However, Shen Xiangwan was too aggressive and no one dared to step out and be the first to do so.

"set off!"

Following the escorts' urging, the exile team left the post station in order, no matter how reluctant they were. The only thing to be thankful for was that perhaps the escorts knew that they were sore all over and could not escape, so they did not tie their feet today.

The imperial palace, the prime minister's residence, Prince Wei Yang's residence, and the third prince's villa were successively robbed, and all the valuables were emptied out silently overnight. Everything was weird, and some people were secretly saying that this was a punishment from heaven. The emperor was furious and ordered the Jingzhao Prefecture to catch the thieves within three days. For a time, the people of the imperial city were in a panic.

As the culprit, Shen Xiangwan had already followed the exile team away from the imperial city, and no one knew how big a mess she had caused.

"Sir, I really can't walk anymore. Can you take a break?"

The team had only walked two miles when some people couldn't stand it anymore. Almost everyone had blisters on the soles of their feet yesterday, and their whole bodies were sore, so every step they took was a huge torture.

"Take a break, hurry up and leave."

"what···"

The bailiff whipped him without saying anything. The begging man cried out in pain and dared not to make trouble anymore. He could only endure the pain and move forward almost numbly. Seeing this, the others had to grit their teeth. At this time, the Wei family and Shen Yishan's family frequently turned back to look at Shen Xiangwan and the others. Their eyes were almost sparking as they stared at the cart, wishing they could take it for themselves immediately.

"Mom, Ling'er, why don't you sit on the cart?"

It’s not that Shen Xiangwan didn’t feel those people’s gazes, but she didn’t take it to heart. Instead, she looked at Zhao Yuping and her daughter who were supporting each other with some worry.

To prevent them from feeling uncomfortable today, Shen Xiangwan mixed spiritual well water into the mutton porridge and egg pancakes last night. After helping them to prick the blisters on their feet after taking a bath, she took out a bucket of spiritual well water from the space and let them soak their feet. She didn't know if they could hold on.

"No, we can still walk on our own."

The cart also needs someone to push it. Looking at her little son who was sweating all over with heartache, Zhao Yuping shook her head and declined her suggestion.

"I am not tired."

Wei Linger also clenched her teeth. Shen Xiangwan looked at Wei Chenghe again and said, "How about I push the cart instead?"

"I can."

Wei Chenghe was also stubborn. As the only adult and healthy male in the family, he could not leave the burden of pushing the cart to his sister-in-law, a woman, no matter what, even if it was impossible.

"Okay, tell me when you can't hold on any longer."

After exchanging glances with Wei Chengyi, Shen Xiangwan did not force it. After all, for boys, it is a good thing to push themselves more.

The team continued to move forward slowly. Even with the threat of the whip and dragging their sore bodies, they did not move fast. Some people even gradually fell behind Shen Xiangwan and the others.

"Ouch!"

When she deliberately fell to the same level as Shen Xiangwan and the others, the old lady suddenly let out a strange cry and fell straight onto the cart. Her purpose was self-evident.

"Old lady, be careful."

Before she could touch the cart, Shen Xiangwan, who was walking on the other side, jumped over the cart and caught her.

“You… Ouch…”

The old lady was startled and pushed her away violently. She lost her balance and fell backwards, which scared her so much that she let out another sharp howl.

"mother."

Seeing this, the Wei Jingluan brothers hurriedly supported her on the left and right, and angrily said to Shen Xiangwan: "You are such an unfilial thing, you actually dared to deliberately push down your own grandmother."

"Wei Chengyi, are you just going to watch Shen Xiangwan do whatever she wants?"

Wei Jinghong quickly chimed in, but he did not blame Shen Xiangwan. Instead, he went to find Wei Chengyi who was sitting on the cart.

Seeing them making a fuss, the people following behind stopped one after another, both to take a break and to watch the show. There was no doubt that if Shen Xiangwan and the others showed any signs of fear, they would rush up and eat them alive.

What a big black pot!
Is she wronged?
Shen Xiangwan rubbed his forehead speechlessly. These people were just too much of a fuss. With all that energy, they might as well just walk a few more steps.
