Chapter 58 Trust? Ask for food!
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. It's all my fault."

Shen Xiangyue, who was nestled in his arms, choked and cried, her delicate body trembling slightly. Almost immediately, Shen Xiangdong hugged her tightly: "You are not wrong, you don't need to apologize to her."

"But···"

Looking up, Shen Xiangyue's eyes were misty with tears, and she was hesitant to speak. Her pitiful appearance made Shen Xiangdong feel distressed: "You are my sister, if I don't protect you, who will? Don't think too much, she is just making trouble for no reason."

"Ah."

Shen Xiangyue nodded vaguely and leaned closer to his arms. Where no one else could see, her tears were clearly visible. Shen Xiangdong was the most powerful person in the Shen family, and he was also the eldest son and had a lot of say. No matter what, she would hold him tightly. As for Wang Wan'er, the man's heart was not with him, so it would be useless for her to make a fuss.

Even if she didn't go to see them, Wang Wan'er heard their entire conversation. She cursed them as an adulterer in her heart, but she didn't curse them anymore. All her mental energy was focused on the wild beast that was still fleeing below. She no longer had a son, so she would protect her daughter no matter what.

In the darkness of the night, Wei Chengyi rode the beast quickly and soon found Shen Xiangwan, then flew and landed on another branch of the same tree.

"came back?"

Seeing him, Shen Xiangwan breathed a sigh of relief. Although she knew that he was a martial arts expert and nothing should happen to him, she was still more or less worried before she saw him because he still had a deadly poison in his body.

"Ah."

Most people who practice martial arts can see at night. Only after making sure that she was okay did Wei Chengyi sit down cross-legged on the tree trunk.

"Well, I might be able to cure the poison in your body."

"what?!"

Wei Chengyi was shocked when he heard her words. The poison he had was extremely strong. Even if he had exhausted all the resources of the palace and found a famous poison doctor, he could only suppress the poison at most and could not completely eliminate it. Wanwan only knew some medical skills. How could she detoxify him? Was she wrong, or did he hear it wrong?
"Don't ask me how to help you detoxify, Wei Chengyi. If you are willing to trust me, I will definitely not let you down."

Under the cover of night, Shen Xiangwan couldn't see the expression on his face, but she could vaguely hear his suddenly heavy breathing, and her bright eyes were fixed on him without blinking.

"it is good."

After making sure that she was right and that he had not heard wrongly, Wei Chengyi nodded and agreed without even thinking. After spending some time together, he thought he understood her to some extent. If he couldn't even trust her, he didn't know who else he could trust.

"Let's start once we arrive safely at the post station in Binzhou."

Unexpectedly, he was so straightforward. Shen Xiangwan smiled, her smile as warm as spring breeze.

"Ah."

Seeing her smile, Wei Chengyi also curled the corners of his lips. Perhaps, they should be able to become a real couple?
Before this, Wei Chengyi had never thought of this possibility. The reason why he went to the bridal chamber on the wedding night and promised to protect her was entirely because, in her previous life, she was implicated by him and died on the road of exile. He wanted to make it up to her, or at least send her safely to Chu Liang's hands.

However, after spending some time together, he discovered that she was completely different from her previous life, like two different individuals, but she deeply attracted his attention. He admitted that he was moved and wanted to take the initiative to open his heart and let this little rascal live with him.

This wave of beasts lasted for two full hours. By the time they completely disappeared, it was almost dawn. During this period, they experienced several aftershocks. The people hiding in the trees did not dare to let their guard down and endured the whole night. Only when the sky was bright and they were sure that there would be no more wild beasts did they feel relieved.

But no one came down from the tree, because the effect of the powder Shen Xiangwan gave them last night had worn off. The ground was full of snakes, insects, rats and ants crawling everywhere, and there was no place to stand.

As for the corpses left on the ground, they had long disappeared without a trace, and only some flesh and blood could be vaguely seen.

"Um...Aunt..." On the tree, the little cub rubbed his sleepy eyes with his fists, subconsciously calling the person he depended on most.

"woke up?"

Looking down at him, Shen Xiangwan took out the bag she was carrying, took out a water bag and a towel from it, and carefully wiped his cheek. Don't ask her where the towel came from. If you ask, you can tell that it was smuggled out from the space. She was really not used to wiping her face with a cloth towel, so she smuggled it out while asking the escorts to help purchase supplies.

"Aunt, drink milk."

After fully waking up, the little cub begged for milk.

"Okay, okay, drink milk."

Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan smiled and took out some milk for him. She also untied another package tied to a branch, took out a few steamed buns, wrapped them in oil paper, and handed them to Wei Chengyi along with a few water bags: "Send them to mother and the others. Fill their stomachs first."

"Ah."

After taking the oil paper bag and water bag, Wei Chengyi flew over and gave them to Zhao Yuping and the others one by one.

"Wei Chengyi, we are hungry too, please send us some food."

"Yes, Wei Chengyi, please."

"Cousin, can you give the child a steamed bun?"

"Can't we buy it from you?"

Seeing this, the people on the nearby trees immediately started shouting. Some were more polite and even begged, while others spoke in a matter-of-fact tone. Wei Chengyi ignored everyone and soon returned to the tree where Shen Xiangwan was.

"There are only three steamed buns left, one for each of us."

As if he didn't hear the voices of those people, Shen Xiangwan shared the remaining steamed buns with his uncle and nephew, and then he picked up the remaining one and started eating.

"Shen Xiangwan, please, give us a steamed bun."

"Shen Xiangwan, you vicious woman, you will die a miserable death!"

"Woo woo... Mom, I'm hungry..."

"Cousin's wife..."

Seeing this, those people turned their attention to Shen Xiangwan again, some even yelled at her, but she still ignored them. After she finished her steamed buns and took two gulps of water, she untied another large package again: "This contains the steamed buns we received before, give them to those who you think can be helped."

Since the beginning of the exile, she had asked Wei Chenghe to collect the steamed bread at a fixed time and place every day. Currently, two large bags have been saved. She would keep the rest for them to eat. According to the previous escorts, this place is still 40 to 50 miles away from Binzhou. It is not clear whether the road ahead is blocked. Moreover, there are frequent aftershocks until now. Who can guarantee that they can definitely get to Binzhou today? Without dry food to take out, they will really starve.
