Shen Lanxi looked at the family of six and asked, "Does your whole family really want to go into exile with the Shen family?"

Mother Wang bowed and saluted: "Miss, our Wang family has been serving the Shen family and we have no other relatives. Our family is your companions and we are willing to serve you forever. Please don't drive us away!" After saying this, Mother Wang and her relatives knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Shen Lanxi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, if you serve me loyally in the future, I will ensure that your family will have no worries about food and clothing for three generations!"

"Thank you, miss!"

The exiled prisoners had to stay at the city gate for a while to give their families time to see them off. Taking advantage of this time, Chunxiao took out the buns and tea eggs that he had bought from Yunxue Tower a day in advance, and put four side dishes on a plate, placed them on the folding dining table that Qiu Shuang had prepared in advance, and put out the stools.

"Miss, it's simple outside, just eat something first!"

Yunxuelou’s steamed buns are famous in Beijing. There are five kinds of buns on display, plus several piles of side dishes. The one-meter-long folding table can hardly hold them all!

I won’t compromise, I really won’t compromise!

"We should keep a low profile when we go out. We don't need to set up a table for meals anymore. Just eat with your hands!"

The dry food prepared by Chunxiao and Qiu Shuang was steamed bread. When they heard what Shen Lanxi said, they immediately felt sorry for the young lady.

The young lady has never suffered such hardship before!

She also saw the food in the hands of the two little girls.

"From now on, I will eat whatever you eat. You don't have to prepare anything specially for me!"

Chun Xiao looked aggrieved: "Miss, we still have money, you don't have to wrong yourself like that."

Shen Lanxi naturally had her own plans.

"We are going with all the Shen family members. There are eighty-nine people in total. If they see how well we eat, will they ask us for food?"

"If you ask us for it, will you give it to us?"

"I gave it to my father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, brothers and sisters. If they knew I had food and money, would they let me give it to my uncles, illegitimate sons and concubines? Would those relatives who were implicated by the Shen family take advantage of being implicated and ask me to take out the food and money?"

Chun Xiao Qiu Shuang stopped talking.

Shen Lanxi waved her hand to ask Wang's mother and her family to come over. Before officially setting off, she wanted to teach these people a good lesson!

In less than half an hour, the black spot at the city gate began to move, and the exile team began to set off!

After being taught a lesson by Shen Lanxi, the few people quickly hid those who could be hidden in the carriage, and tied those who could not be hidden under the carriage with ropes.

Two horse-drawn carriages and one ox-drawn cart followed the exile team not too close or too far away. It was not until noon when the exile team stopped to rest that Shen Lanxi walked towards the yamen runners carrying the things she had prepared.

When the yamen runners looked at her, she raised a large bag and two water jars in her hands.

He walked three meters away and stopped, then opened the bag, revealing the contents.

Steamed buns, pickled vegetables, pancakes, steamed corn bread, two roast chickens and a braised pork elbow!

The thing was right where the yamen runner could see it at a glance. After confirming that there was nothing else, a burly yamen runner with a sword came over to question him.

"What?"

Shen Lanxi winked at the yamen runner and took out a small bag of silver from her pocket. The yamen runner immediately understood and put the money in his pocket while turning around.

"Sir, I am a businessman going to Dongchuan to do business. I was asked by the relatives of the exiled prisoners to take care of them on the way!"

There are rules for escorting prisoners, and they are not allowed to eat food prepared by outsiders.

Shen Lanxi walked directly to the food, broke off a little bit of it and ate it!

The yamen runner raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, then added some weight to the silver and asked, "Whose prisoner is this?"

"The Shen family!"

Yamen runner: "Go and call a few people over."

Shen Lanxi walked towards the Shen family obediently.

After experiencing many ups and downs and ten days in jail, the Shen family was all listless, with the former brilliance no longer in their eyes.

"Yuan Jing, Yuan Jun, Yuan Qing, come with me to get some food!" These three are her brothers from the same mother.

The three of them looked at her in disbelief, their eyes slowly changing from lifeless to shocked!

"Are you the big sister?" exclaimed the youngest brother Shen Yuanqing.

Shen Lanxi noticed that the other members of the Shen family were looking here, so she didn't waste any words with them.

"Follow me!" He said and turned around and left!

The three brothers looked at each other, Shen Yuanqing caught up first, followed by the other two.

"Big sister, why are you dressed like this and why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the palace?"

Now is not a good time to talk!

"Shut up and stop talking!"

The yamen runners were staring at them.

After walking a few steps to where the food was placed, Shen Lanxi asked the three brothers to each break off a piece of food and eat it.

The three brothers believed their elder sister. Although they didn't understand what their eldest sister was going to do, they still broke off a piece of food from each dish as she said.

The food in the prison was not tasty. The three brothers were already dizzy from hunger. Each of them wanted to break off a big piece, especially the roast chicken and pork elbow, which they wanted to swallow in one bite.

The yamen runner saw that the three brothers were eating with relish and didn't look like there was anything wrong with them, so he immediately went up and kicked each of them.

"Take the steamed bread and leave!"

They said they wanted to leave because of the money they received, otherwise they would have been fired long ago.

Shen Lanxi nodded to the three brothers, said a few flattering words to the yamen runner, and then went to the carriage.

The three brothers Shen Yuanjing drooled at the sight of the meat. Afraid of being beaten, they quickly took the steamed bread and left!

Soon the runners gathered together and feasted.

After the three brothers returned, they immediately ran to their father and mother.

"Father and mother, this is given by my eldest sister!"

When the three brothers were called over, the other members of the Shen family gathered together and whispered. When they saw the three brothers coming back, they immediately gathered together.

When Shen Congwen and his wife heard that it was their daughter, they didn't even bother to take the steamed bread and quickly grabbed their son to question him.

"You said that the person who called you away just now was your elder sister? Isn't your elder sister in the palace? Why did she come here?"

Shen Yuanjing quickly begged for mercy: "I don't know, my elder sister didn't say anything."

Shen Yuanjun added in a wronged tone, "My elder sister brought a lot of food for the yamen runners, including meat. The yamen runners wouldn't let us take any, and only let us take steamed bread!"

Shen Congwen seemed to have suddenly figured something out. He sighed and let go of his son.

"If our whole family is exiled, your eldest sister will definitely have a hard time!"

The Shen family was silent.

"Eat something, Yuanjing, and give some of the steamed bread to your grandparents!" Shen Congwen took two steamed breads from his son, gave one to himself and the other to his wife.

"Xinrou, eat something. Lanxi brought it to us with great difficulty!"

The former Princess Minrou also had her title revoked. Now with her hair in rough cloth, she looks like she has aged by ten years!

Seeing that his wife didn't take it, Shen Congwen sighed and put the steamed bread in her hand.

The food in the prison was all rotten, and there was only one meal a day. Although it was only ten days, all the Shen family members had lost a lot of weight. If the prison was like this, what good food could there be on the way to exile?
