There are dozens of boats at the pier, either docking or departing.

The two merchant ships had already hoisted their sails and weighed anchor, but they did not move at all.

The deck was full of people, some even climbed up the mast to look up.

"did you see it?"

"No."

"Why haven't you come yet? Has something happened?"

"Bah, shut up, who wants to get off the boat to buy things before it arrives? Go buy them now."

Who gets off the boat?

The above conversation has been repeated dozens of times since dawn. Not to mention food, they have even bought toilet paper several times.

There was really nothing to buy, mainly because they were afraid that the young master would come back just as they got off the boat. What would they do if they didn't have time to board the boat?

Suddenly there was a cheer from the mast

"Coming, coming~"

Several carriages came rushing towards us from afar and were in sight in the blink of an eye.

Shen Lanxi had already changed her eye-catching clothes in the carriage. When the carriage stopped, it was Master Lan who got off!

"Abandon the horse and get on the boat!" This was her first order after jumping off the carriage!

Liu Lao Hu felt a little distressed after hearing this. The carriage and the horse cost a lot of silver. Every ounce of profit from selling them was a ounce!

When he wanted to ask someone to sell the horse, Shen Lanxi had already strode onto the boat and started the boat.

"What a pity!" Liu Lao Hu stamped his feet, took a look, then turned around and got on the boat.

Liu Yan replied: "Sir, if we leave the carriage at the dock, will it leave any traces?"

As Shen Lanxi walked towards the cabin, she said, "No, the dock is a place where all kinds of people gather!"

Without them taking any action, the carriage could change hands several times within an hour!

After the order to sail was given, the two passenger ships set sail at the same time and quickly left the port.

"My lord, my fifth brother brought back a lot of seriously injured people. I have asked Zhang Niu to treat them!" Wei Dongzhu said respectfully.

Liu Yanhui, who was standing by, heard his name and raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shen Lanxi.

Shen Lanxi sat in the upper seat, her eyes deep and restrained, her aura intimidating without even being angry.

"Take them to Dongchuan together!"

"Yes!"

Liu Yanhui once again felt that his status was threatened.

"My Lord, the women of Liuzhao Village have not found a suitable place to stay. Should we take them to Dongchuan?"

Shen Lanxi: "Have they been obedient along the way?"

Liu Yanhui reported truthfully: "They practiced martial arts with the Shen family and studied diligently every day. Two days ago, they also helped kill the spies hiding in the team!"

Shen Lanxi simply replied with four words: "Retain for investigation!"

Liu Yanhui understood the meaning. Whoever is unqualified will be expelled!

"I'll put them on the food ship at the back, together with the people my fifth brother brought back!"

Shen Lanxi: "Yes!"

Wei Dongzhu was also worried about something: "Will the Second Prince and the Third Princess send someone to chase us?"

Shen Lanxi: "I have bought time for us. As long as we get out of Zhou Qiwu's territory, they won't dare to attack us openly!"

She had not lied to Zhou Ru'an about going to Jiangnan. Today, there happened to be several merchant ships at the dock heading to Jiangnan, and they set off at the same time. Even if they had a brilliant plan, they could not have thought that these "fugitives" would run to Dongchuan and fall into the trap.

By the time Zhou Ru'an and Zhou Qiwu's men caught up with the merchant ship that went to Jiangnan and then returned to pursue them, they had already left the Third Princess' fiefdom.

Furthermore, even if they thought of splitting their forces into two groups, it would be impossible for them to be locked onto the merchant ships heading north so quickly!

Once they left the Third Princess' fiefdom, they blatantly went to other vassal kings' fiefdoms to use their troops, which was tantamount to rebellion!

This is the ultimate goal of truth and falsehood, reality and unreality!

When Liu Yanhui saw that he called Shen Lanxi "Master" and was not rejected or scolded, he was delighted and continued to report.

Liu Lao Hu looked at the two people standing on the left and right of Shen Lanxi reporting, and opened his mouth several times. He had a lot to say before, but now his head was empty and he couldn't say a word!

After realizing that he had no reason to stand there, he quietly withdrew and pushed out Shen Yuanjing and others who were about to enter the house.

He doesn't understand. He's just a kid, so don't go in and make trouble!

While Shen Lanxi was arranging things in an orderly manner, some people in the Shen family began to gather together and whisper.

"Mother, my eldest brother has returned, but he didn't even bring the people in his room to greet you and father. Could he be resentful that we pushed them out before?"

"Nonsense, if they don't want to go, are we going to let our parents and our whole family go?"

"Father and mother are doing this for our entire Shen family. Do we have to die with them so that our eldest brother won't resent us?"

"Fourth brother, go call the eldest brother. I want to see how the eldest brother resents me as his mother!"

"...Second brother, you go. My eldest brother complained about the kid in my room talking nonsense before. I called him, but he definitely didn't come!"

Shen Conglian looked reluctant: "Why don't you go? You pissed off my eldest brother and want me to go and hit a snag. You are quite calculating!"

Shen Congyi: "Second brother, ask third brother, among us, do you have the best relationship with the eldest wife?"

Shen Congli: "Second brother, just go ahead. You have the best relationship with the eldest brother among us. You get one more piece of cake every day than the other brothers!"

Shen Conglian was too embarrassed to explain that it was a gift from his children in his room.

"It wasn't me that my mother called, so whoever wants to go can go!" Shen Conglian turned around and went back to his room.

Are you kidding? He must be stupid to give up his comfortable life and go to offend the eldest wife.

He was different from some people who would eat with a bowl in hand and curse their mothers when they put the bowl down. These days, he knew very well who was protecting the family and who was feeding him.

Lan Xi had said it clearly before. When she sent the people from the first house to go fishing, she didn't even blink. They were her own parents! She treated her blood relatives like this, not to mention her uncles.

Shen Congyi looked at his second brother's back, a gloomy look flashed across his eyes, but when he thought of the treasures on the two ships, his expression immediately changed to worry.

"Big brother and the others must have been tortured these past few days after being captured by the Third Princess. Lan Xi was really willing to let them go~"

When Mrs. Shen heard this, her face suddenly turned dark.

"Mother, let my eldest brother and the others have a good rest first. My eldest brother is filial, and when he has rested, he will definitely bring the people in the room to see you!"

Mrs. Shen felt distressed when she thought of the scene when her eldest son left.

"Your eldest brother and his family have suffered. Come with me to see your eldest brother!"

Shen Congyi's eyes flashed, and he immediately said: "Mother, the property of these two ships was purchased by our Shen family. My eldest brother is not feeling well, so even if he wants to manage it, he is definitely powerless. Why don't we share his worries for him!"

Shen Congli's eyes lit up, and he chimed in, "Mother, no matter how much Lan Xi is a woman, she can take care of the inner house, but when she's out in the world, she still has to rely on men."
