Can you blame me if you wear it quickly?
Chapter 238 The Licking Prince's Servant 05
The exiled team continued to move forward. After walking all day the day before, they set out again. The aches and pains throughout their bodies made them grimace and their faces twisted.
Mrs. Xu is old, and she tried her best yesterday not to fall behind. But when she got up today, she felt as if her whole body was falling apart.
Of course, the Xu family’s mother and son were not much better off.
Seeing that his grandmother looked pale and her legs were still trembling slightly, Xu Yingjie immediately came up to support her, "Grandma, are you okay?"
"I am fine."
Mrs. Xu thought of her grandson's injuries and immediately supported him. "Be careful, you are still injured."
After hearing what his grandmother said, Xu Yingjie finally realized that he had just stood up and the pain in his legs and feet was even worse than the pain from being whipped.
"Mom, my injuries seem to have healed a lot. It doesn't hurt much anymore. The medicine Yuzhu gave me is really effective."
"That's fine, that's fine."
After hearing this, Xu felt relieved.
Now it is almost late autumn and the weather is getting colder. She is worried that her son will not be able to withstand the gradually colder weather with his injuries.
Now that she has recovered so quickly, she is extremely grateful to Yuzhu.
Thinking of the water bag her son had just given her, she quickly opened it. Steam was coming out of it and the smell of ginger tea wafted out.
"It's ginger tea, and it's still hot."
Xu's mother was delighted. Being able to drink a sip of hot ginger tea in the morning was perfect for their current situation.
"Mom, you drink first."
Without thinking, Xu's mother handed the water bag to Old Madam Xu.
Seeing that her daughter-in-law and grandson were looking at her, Mrs. Xu did not refuse and took the water bag and took a sip.
I just felt a warm current flowing into my heart and lungs, and my whole body became warm, and even the aches and pains in my body were relieved a lot.
"It's brown sugar ginger tea, you guys should drink it too."
Xu's mother didn't take it, but persuaded the old woman to drink more, and then she let her son drink.
After the family of three had drunk nearly half of the water bag, they remembered that there was also the Zhang family.
It's not their fault. This brown sugar ginger tea is just too delicious. I feel much better after drinking it.
"Yingjie, this ginger tea is good, but we have only tasted it..."
Xu Yingjie knew what his mother meant. "Mom, don't worry. Yuzhu just came over and gave me two water bags. I checked and the other one also contains brown sugar ginger tea. I'll give that to Brother Zhang."
"it is good."
Xu's mother felt very sorry for the Zhang family being implicated by her family, so she wanted to help as much as possible.
When Xu Yingjie came back, the officials also came.
Thinking that his mother and grandmother would be shackled again, he touched the two silver notes that Yuzhu had given him yesterday.
Finally, he made up his mind and handed a piece of paper to a leader when no one was paying attention. "Sir, can you let the women in your family not wear these shackles? It will make us walk faster this way."
As he spoke, he pointed at himself and Zhang Yao's family.
The officer looked at the people he pointed at, some old and some young, and he didn't have to worry about them escaping. He could still get a hundred taels for free, which was a great deal. He was very happy inside, but pretended to be hesitant on his face. Finally, he nodded.
Originally, the woman's shackles would only be worn at the beginning. Once she left the capital, they would be removed with tacit consent and some benefits. Otherwise, the journey of thousands of miles would be impossible to complete within the specified time even if the person was beaten to death.
It was truly a pleasant surprise to receive this hundred taels of silver note, so he couldn't help but look at Xu Yingjie with more favor.
It would be true that the leader of this escort said he didn't know the eldest son of the Marquis of Weiwu.
After all, before exile, they could be said to be people from two different worlds.
This time, because of the emperor's attitude, no one dared to help them openly, but at the same time, no one dared to make any plans.
Therefore, the officials treated them equally and would not deliberately cause trouble if they got benefits.
After the officers put shackles and fetters on Xu Yingjie and Zhang Yao, they no longer cared about them.
When the other exiles saw this, those who had some money on them also took it out to help their female relatives reduce the burden.
Of course, there are also those families who are reluctant to spend money even if they have it.
"Where did you get the money?"
Xu's mother asked in a low voice.
"Yuzhu gave it to me. I still have a hundred taels here. I'll give it to you when we rest tonight."
Xu Yingjie told the truth.
"Thank you, Prince."
Zhang Yao also came over at this time.
"Don't call me Prince, call me by my name! Your family is in this situation because of my family's involvement, just don't blame my family, and don't say thank you."
Xu Yingjie said it openly, and Zhang Yao shook his head repeatedly after hearing it.
"How can I blame anyone? We are all on the list of people to be purged by the higher-ups, so no one can blame anyone else. Besides, I believe in the character of the Marquis, and I also believe in my father. They will never do anything to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country."
Although he is honest and simple, he is not stupid.
The emperor's actions clearly show that he is afraid of the military power in the hands of the marquis and wants to get rid of him.
His father has been following the Marquis's soldiers until now, and he is probably already on the emperor's punishment list.
The two men whispered a few more words, then separated and followed the exile team forward.
At this time, Liu Yiyu was sitting in a carriage, practicing a martial arts secret book that combined internal strength and body skills. This book was collected in the ancient small world.
With the previous fitness pill as a foundation, and drinking the spiritual spring as water, her cultivation progress was not rapid, but it was far beyond everyone's imagination.
"Host, why don't we just take the target's family to the carriage? We have money anyway."
Duoduo observed that Xu Yingjie used a silver note of 100 taels to remove the shackles, and thought that since they were not short of money, other things should be able to be done in the same way.
"Duoduo, this place is too close to the Imperial City. We are still within the Emperor's surveillance range. We can't go too far."
"Oh."
Duoduo listened to what the host said, and although he didn't quite understand, he didn't say much.
But Liu Yiyu knew that Xu Yingjie should be able to understand her actions.
When they took a break at noon, the officer gave each of them a steamed bun. Both the Xu and Zhang families had some cakes and pastries left over from yesterday, which were much better than the cold and hard buns.
Just as they were about to eat on the spot, Liu Yiyu came over with two food boxes.
She first gave a food box to the leader of the officials, and then pointed to Xu Yingjie's direction.
When he saw that it was the family who gave him the banknote yesterday, the boss nodded in agreement without much hesitation.
Only then did Liu Yiyu come to Xu Yingjie with the things in her hand.
Xu's mother knew Liu Yiyu, and when she saw her coming, she immediately smiled gently.
"Yuzhu."
"Madam." Liu Yiyu still called Madam Xu like her original self.
"Why call me Madam? You can help us when we are in trouble. If you don't mind that we are guilty, you can call me Brother Yingjie and call me Aunt Xu!"
Liu Yiyun hesitated for only a moment, then followed her instructions and called out, "Aunt Xu."
"Hey."
When Mrs. Xu saw that Yuzhu really agreed, her smile relaxed a little, and she felt a little more guilty towards Yuzhu.
Although she was suspected of moral kidnapping, her husband's life or death was unknown, and she and her mother-in-law didn't know whether they could survive. For the sake of her son, she could only be despicable for once.
