Northwest, the penal colony.

After the third prince left, the courtyard seemed to be much quieter.

Yueyue is missing a little follower, and Naughty can't even keep up his spirits.

But in a blink of an eye, the New Year is here, and the sound of firecrackers makes this place lively again.

On New Year's Day, the three of them all changed into red clothes and went to the painter who was also exiled and asked him to paint a picture for them.

To say that this place of exile is really full of talents.

Those who can be exiled here are only those who commit crimes.

The rest came from the court and palace.

For example, this painter who specialized in painting beautiful girls was exiled because he secretly beautified the beautiful girls after receiving money.

The one who lives next door is Dr. Du from the Imperial Hospital. He was exiled for getting involved in the harem fight.

There are countless others, just like Pang Ci said.

His father would not have been exiled if he could not read.

After Wen Xiangzhu protected these two people in his family, he began to try to make friends with them.

He also understood why Shen Zhiyi had to chase him here.

In Yueyue's words, it is extremely cost-effective.

If you want to hire such a painter to paint a painting in the capital, you will have to pay a hundred taels of silver.

Now, a bowl of custard will do.

And they not only served custard, but also meat buns made by Pang Ci.

The painter was moved and said that he would paint them well.

Yueyue asked the painter to add the third prince to the painting. After the painting was completed, the three of them looked at each other.

No one dared to admit that the painting was of themselves.

Those who didn’t know better thought the artist was painting some sort of gathering of gods.

Even the cotton jackets they were wearing became fairy-like.

Especially the third prince, who turned from a fat little boy into a boy with delicate features and cute eyes.

Pang Ci grinned and looked at the wise and mighty man on the drawing who looked like Erlang Shenjun, and then looked at himself in the bronze mirror.

Finally, before leaving, he patted the painter on the shoulder.

"Brother, your exile is not unjust."

Painter:……

"Don't listen to him."

Yueyue couldn't reach his shoulders, so she simply patted his knees and comforted him: "Grandpa, painter, you were just born in the wrong era."

Painter:……

What's going on doesn't sound like a good thing?

The three of them returned home carrying the portrait, only to find another uninvited guest in the courtyard.

Shen Zhiyi got off the carriage wearing a green jacket embroidered with pink lotus flowers and a woman's hair bun.

Judging from her clothes, she was quite popular in that family.

Behind the carriage, there was also a steward and several wealthy servants.

They all held wooden sticks in their hands and looked fierce.

Seeing them coming back, Shen Zhiyi smiled evilly.

"Steward Wu, they stole the jade pendant that the master gave me. Otherwise, how could the exiles live such a good life? Steward Wu, you have to let them search this yard."

Shen Zhiyi did it on purpose.

She pestered the old man to give her her favorite jade pendant, and secretly pawned it while she was out.

Before the old man asked, she started crying with snot and tears. She said that she met an acquaintance on the street, and within a few words she was taken away by the acquaintance.

Then I specially picked such a day and brought someone to knock on my door.

She had suffered so much for Wen Xiangzhu, so why could he still be fine and wait for two and a half years to reverse the case and return to Beijing?

Every time she had to be coquettish and flattering to the old man in order to survive, she wanted to kill him with her own hands!

Isn’t he short of money in this life?Aren't you having a good time?

Then let her be the hand that pushed him into the abyss!

So what if I can’t find the jade pendant?They must have hidden other money of unknown origin, but the result is the same!

After hearing this, Manager Wu turned his triangular eyes around them. It seemed that there was indeed something to be gained.

"Okay, even our eighth lady dares to steal, it's really a risk for your life! Go in and search for me! Search carefully!"

"and many more."

Yueyue stopped them and looked up at Wen Xiangzhu.

"Brother, what is the eighth wife? Can't a person only have one wife?"

Wen Xiangzhu thought about the words for a while, "It means the concubine in the eighth room. It means that the concubine is not allowed to be on the stage. In order to prop up the scene, the servants call her the eighth lady. But no matter how she is called, it can only be a concubine. According to me According to the law of the court, concubines are the same as slaves. They can be bought, sold and given away. They cannot be included in the family tree while alive, and they cannot be included in the family graves after death. Yueyue, a girl from a decent family must never be a concubine."

Wen Xiangzhu's small class took advantage of every opportunity to start a class.

Yueyue seemed to understand but it made Shen Zhi go crazy.

Isn't it like he's poking wherever it hurts?If it bleeds, sprinkle some salt on it!

Shen Zhiyi raised his voice and shouted loudly: "What are you waiting for! Go quickly! I smashed everything else in the yard! And the swing! I smashed them all! Let's see who dares to stop me!"

"I dare!"

A loud sound sounded, followed by the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer.

The person sent to take Wen Xiangzhu back to Beijing has arrived.

The horse lieutenant of the Yulin Guards was the emperor's confidant. He was wearing golden armor, carrying a long sword, and came slowly on a tall horse.

The people following him were driving a simple and heavy carriage.

The entire carriage was made of rosewood. Even the Shen family didn't have such a big hand.

Shen Zhiyi had a bad premonition in his heart and didn't understand why Yu Linwei suddenly appeared.

There are still two and a half years until the Wen family reverses the verdict!

The stewards and servants behind her had never seen such a battle before, and they were also frightened at this moment.

Until a little fat man wearing a gold crown got out of the car.

Vice General Ma shouted, "How dare you not kneel down when you see the Third Prince!"

"Third, third prince?"

"Common people meet the Third Prince!"

Wen Xiangzhu also pulled the two people around him to slowly bend down, and was supported by the third prince who jumped out of the carriage.

"Don't kneel, you are not allowed to kneel, Yueyue, Mr. Wen, brother Pang Ci, I'm here to pick you up!"

He asked someone to bring the imperial edict and read out the news that the Wen family had reversed the verdict and that Wen Xiangzhu would resume his official post immediately.

Wen Xiangzhu and the others were not too happy about the imperial edict. After all, they had known for a long time that something was wrong.

They were obviously more happy that the third prince suddenly appeared following the imperial edict.

After hearing this, Shen Zhiyi was completely stunned.

She suddenly felt that her rebirth was a joke.

Suddenly feeling the eyes on her, she turned away as if being pricked by needles.

She is just a concubine of a country squire now, and she cannot let people in the capital know.

If the people she knew in the past knew about it, she might as well just die.

But it is already late.

"Vice General Ma knows Miss Shen? Why don't we bring her back to the capital? She has been out of the capital for half a year. I don't know how anxious Master Shen is."

Wen Xiangzhu pretended not to know anything.

One sentence confirmed Shen Zhiyi's identity and revealed the Shen family's fake death story.

Vice General Ma heard a few words just now, and when he looked at her current gaudy dress and womanly bun, he felt that his outlook was shattered.

She is a good daughter of a famous family, a daughter of a noble family, and is well-known in the capital.

Why did you go to this place and become a concubine?

And what role did Mr. Shen, who said she was dead, play in it?

This is really a big mouthful to eat right after landing.
