"Um"

After waiting for a while, Chen Kang came to deliver food again.

When Zhang Zhuohao saw the Chen family coming to deliver food, he wanted to leave quickly.

"Husband, don't leave. Come eat with me, okay? They originally sent food for both of us, and I can't finish it all by myself."

When Chen Wanqing saw that he was about to leave, she immediately stopped him. The food given by the officials was not fit for human consumption at all. If he was made to eat like that every day, how would he have the strength to do so when they were together?

"But…"

"Husband, I can't eat if you leave. Can you eat with me?" She pulled his hand and shook it coquettishly.

Chen Wanqing didn't want to hear his refusal, so she interrupted him.

Zhang Zhuohao saw that she was acting like a spoiled child to him again, and he couldn't bear to refuse her, "Okay."

The food was served and the two hadn't taken a few bites when they heard the people next to them starting talking about them again.

"She is such a slut, she is pregnant with a bastard, and yet she is in the mood to talk about love with a eunuch again."

"That's not the case. Even if he's a eunuch, at least he can give the child an identity, right? This way, both of them have a common interest. One gets the child, and the other gets the status."

Hearing their words getting more and more unpleasant, Zhang Zhuohao couldn't stand it anymore, so he put down his chopsticks and stood up.

"If you have the guts, come and speak to me. Hiding behind my back and speaking ill of me is mean behavior."

There are too many people in here. I can hear the voice, but I can't tell who is saying it.

It's okay to insult him, but not to insult his wife.

When Chen Wanqing saw him getting angry at those people, her eyes were almost full of stars. This man was protecting her, and she suddenly felt so happy!

In fact, she didn't care at all about what those people said, because she knew that Zhang Zhuohao was a son of luck and could definitely be a normal couple with her.

So the words of those women who were jealous of her could not hurt her at all.

After he shouted like this, everyone fell silent. The other two families were civil officials, while the Zhang family was a military officer. Now everyone was exiled together.

It's okay to laugh at them a few times, but if you want to fight them head-on, I definitely don't dare to do that because I can't beat them.

"Husband, please sit down and eat. There is no need to pay attention to such a petty person, and there is no need to get angry."

Seeing that no one dared to talk about these things anymore, Chen Wanqing pulled Zhang Zhuohao again and asked him to sit down and eat, otherwise the food would get cold.

"Well, some people are foul-mouthed, so don't take what they say to heart." Zhang Zhuohao was still a little afraid that those people's words would hurt her, so he wanted to enlighten her.

After a while, Chen Kang came to get the lunch box. "Chen Kang, go find the messenger and ask them when they can remove the shackles of your brother-in-law? And when you deliver the food tomorrow, include my father-in-law and mother-in-law's as well."

Although those two old people were not very nice to me, they saw that I was eating and drinking well these two days and did not come to disturb me, which was considered good enough.

Anyway, it doesn't matter to her to have two more people cooking. The journey will take a long time, and it would be good to have two old people to speak for her if she encounters any problems in the future.

"Okay, miss, I'll go ask right away." Chen Kang took the lunch box and went to find the captain immediately.

"That won't work. If a woman can't walk, we can make some concessions, but once a man opens the door, it's hard to handle.

If he runs away, we won’t be able to complete our mission and we’ll lose our lives.”

The policeman saw the 50-liang silver note that Chen Kang handed over but did not take it.

Seeing that he was not willing to give in, Chen Kang had no choice but to add another 50 taels, "It's a long way to go, we need to dismantle the head, and we need a lot of help.

This 100 taels is our maximum limit, otherwise we will have nothing to eat."

The meaning is very clear, no one can become fat in one bite, so don't ask for too much at once.

"Okay, okay. If that's the case, I'll untie the shackles for Chen's son-in-law tomorrow."

Seeing that he was sensible, the officer gave him 100 taels of silver and did not make things difficult for him. After all, this man was also from a third-rank family.

Although he was not a high-ranking official in the capital, it was still easy for him to deal with these minions.

Moreover, 100 taels of silver was not a small amount to unlock the shackles. Sometimes the prisoners really had no money, and they would unlock them even if you gave them a 50 tael silver note.

"Thank you!" Chen Kang saw him nod and agree, clasped his fists and turned back to where he was imprisoned.

"Miss, the captain has agreed. You should have a good rest. If anything happens, please call us loudly.

I will be here for the first half of the night, and my brother will be here for the second half. We won’t be too far away from you.”

They also heard what those gossiping women said, and wondered if what they said was true? If it was true, why didn't the young lady divorce the Zhang family?

But they saw that the young lady didn't say anything, so they could only stay aside silently.

"Okay, thank you two brothers for your hard work!"

Chen Wanqing was not familiar with these two people, so she just said something nice.

“Don’t worry, young lady, it’s not hard for us. We will drive the carriage behind you during the day, and we can take turns to rest.

I will ask the driver tomorrow if you can ride in our carriage tomorrow. If you can, Miss won't have to be so tired. "

He hadn't thought of that just now.

"it is good"

After Chen Wanqing talked to him, she found an empty corner and sat down. She wanted to wait for Zhang Zhuohao to come and rest together.

Zhang Zhuohao was originally with his father and brothers, but saw his wife sitting alone in the corner silently.

Moreover, the men of Liu's family were not far from her. He was worried and hurried over.

"Zhuo Hao" Zhang Xinwu called his son's name, but he couldn't say what he wanted to say.

What those women said today were so harsh that he was afraid of hurting his son.

But he didn't know how to comfort her, because what they said was indeed true. His son had been ruined since he was young, so he owed his son a lot!

"Dad, I'm fine, Wanqing is fine, she is a good girl.

I have let her down in this life, so I have to treat her better in the future so that I will feel less guilty. "

Zhang Zhuohao didn't want to say anything else because it was useless to say anything now.

When the other illegitimate sons of the Zhang family heard what the two women said, they confirmed that what those women said was true and that their legitimate son was indeed inhumane.

If they had known this before their property was confiscated and they were exiled, they would have been so happy that they went crazy. But now this kind of thing is not a good thing for them, and it will only make others laugh at them.

The identity system of their Wei Dynasty was very strict. Bastards, concubines and concubines were almost the same as servants. They had no status and could even be sold at any time.

Of course, most families would not sell their illegitimate sons and daughters, after all, they are their own bloodline.

The brothers looked at each other and reluctantly went to find a place to rest. They were in no mood to think about these things as they had to continue walking tomorrow.
