Chapter 50 Xie Xiangxiang takes action
At Shenshi, we finally arrived at Xiangzhou County.

The government officials were also very hot and tired. During this period of time, they were rushing as hard as a march, and the time progress was okay.

The sun was still high in Shenshi, so Li Rong and others discussed and decided to stay at an inn in Xiangzhou County first, and get up early the next day in Yinshi to start their journey.

With a large number of prisoners, they received supplies at the supply station. The other party arranged for all the prisoners to rest in a simple carriage and horse inn on the outskirts of the county.

The Datongpu where the prisoners lived was not in the same yard as the ordinary guests. Next to it was the cattle and horse yard. The stench of the animals made the prisoners sick.

There is no decent courtyard wall, so a few rows of locust and willow trees serve as a fence.

There was a well in the yard, and the prisoners took turns to draw water from the well, wash their faces and hands happily, and couldn't wait to drink a sip of the well water, finally feeling a little relieved.

Shen's cloudy eyes looked at the locust tree and said with envy that she really wanted to take a bite of fresh locust flowers.

When they came out of Kyoto, it was just when the locust flowers were in bud. Unfortunately, they were used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, so they didn't care about wild vegetables like the locust flowers.

When the money in my hand is gone, the season of locust flowers is also over.

Xiangzhou County is the closest county to Xiangyang City. There are many merchants. The inn is full and the carriages pulling goods are parked in the yard. The inn also operates a restaurant business, and there is a constant sound of cups and plates while drinking and eating.

Mrs. Shen was extremely thin. Since they lost their money, they had no hope at all. The one piece of cake delivered every day was not enough to eat.

The money that Aunt Xue earned from being forced into a flesh-and-blood business by her was barely enough to feed her family, and it wasn't every day that she could hook up with a man.

When not staying at the inn, there are only a few yamen servants for men, and like Li Rong, he will not have sex with female prisoners at all.

The remaining ones, Zhu Ba and Wei Ergou, didn't have much money at first, so they could only give Aunt Xue one or two pancakes.

Xiangzhou and Xiangyang City were a lively place. Seeing the beautiful concubines of Xie Anhuai and Xie Qingmu, Mrs. Shen gritted her teeth and told her two sons to ask their four aunts to serve the men.

Neither Xie Anhuai nor Xie Qingmu thought, especially Xie Qingmu, that the concubine Guo was not the daughter of an ordinary small family. She was originally the granddaughter of the former Prime Minister.

At first, Mrs. Guo fell in love with Xie Anfeng, but Xie Qingmu saw her beauty and snatched her away.

Guo has never given birth, so she still looks as pretty as an 18-year-old girl. How could Xie Qingmu be willing to let her serve other men.

Mrs. Shen doesn't care, a concubine is just a concubine, a toy, can she still be a real wife? He was almost starving to death, so why did he feed her?
There are so many powerful businessmen in the store, there is a lot of money, and there is no mother-in-law to look after them outside, it is a good time to hook up.

Xie Anhuai gritted his teeth and pushed his two concubines to find someone else. Xie Qingmu only advised his concubine Zhang Xinlian to find a rich man to hook up with.

In the end, both Aunt Xue and Aunt Hu went to wait on the merchants in the store, and Zhang Xinlian also left timidly.

Xie Huan didn't want Aunt Xue to go, so he held Aunt Xue pleadingly: "Auntie, can you not go for my sake?"

Aunt Xue lowered her head and said, "Master, tell Auntie to go."

"You don't have to listen to what he says, Aunt Guo doesn't even listen."

"Aunt Guo is protected by Third Master."

"Auntie, please, don't go, okay? Please!" Xie Huan's eyes were filled with tears, "When we get to Lingnan, I will find a way to support my aunt."

Aunt Xue smiled miserably: "In this life, I can't escape. I have to do whatever I tell my aunt to do."

Old Shen said that if she disobeys, she will never see Xie Huan. A concubine has no right to say no, and a concubine has no right to say no.

Xie Huan, like Xie Yun, was the son of Xie Anhuai, but as a concubine, he could not study or become an official. He could not even call his biological mother mother, but could only call her aunt.

The food and clothing expenses are not comparable to those of the legitimate son, and he has to watch his aunt exchange sex and people for silver to support the legitimate family.

He hates it.

He was so helpless. Xie Xiangxiang remained silent. After Shen received the 10 taels of silver from Aunt Xue, Xie Xiangxiang asked her for 5 taels and bought steamed buns and sweet wine in the store.

When Xie Tingting went to the latrine, she quickly followed him.

Xie Tingting came out of the hut, and Xie Xiangxiang stopped her.

Xie Tingting said warily: "What do you want to do?"

With a look of regret on his face, Xie Xiangxiang said to Xie Tingting: "Tingting, I'm sorry."

"Hey, stop acting!"

Xie Xiangxiang blocked her way calmly and handed over the two buns wrapped in oil paper: "I know I can't help you, and I don't want to shirk responsibility for myself. These two buns and sweet wine were given to me secretly by my grandmother. Mine, I kept it for you."

"Are you so kind?"

"It's not a good intention. You keep scolding me. As a child, I don't want my mother and father to be scolded. So from today on, I will share at least half of the food my grandma gives me to you. I just ask you to stop scolding me."

Xie Xiangxiang looked gloomy, but still stretched out his hand stubbornly.

Xie Tingting snorted, took the buns and bamboo tube, and walked around her without even saying thank you.

"Tingting, you'd better find a place where no one is around to eat and drink before going back. Everyone in the family is still hungry..."

She speaks very skillfully, and if she omits words, Xie Tingting will understand them instantly. She couldn't take her things back, otherwise the hungry people at home would eat her alive.

Xie Tingting turned around and found a corner to eat.

Xie Xiangxiang immediately left quickly, returned to old Shen, and waited quietly.

Xie Tingting ate half of the bun and took a sip of sweet wine. Suddenly, a cold voice came: "If I were you, I wouldn't eat it."

It's Xie Yanyan.

Xie Tingting immediately cursed: "Of course you won't eat. You have money and you eat well. You wish we all starved to death."

"You're so stupid, I really don't know how you managed to survive so long. Xie Xiangxiang has added ingredients to the buns and bamboo tubes, you can figure it out yourself!"

Xie Tingting's face froze and asked her what she meant?
"Fang is so smart, how could she give birth to such a stupid daughter! There is poison in the food you eat, do you understand? If you don't believe it, give it to Xie Xiangxiang and see if she eats it."

Xie Tingting subconsciously believed in Xie Yanyan. This person had been a fool since he was a child, but he didn't lie.

She was so nervous about eating, why did Xie Xiangxiang treat her to steamed buns and sweet wine?
The more she thought about it, the more wrong she became. She immediately took her things and stumbled towards the Datongpu courtyard.

He ran to Mrs. Fang in a panic and cried, "Mother, mother..."

Seeing her pale face, Mrs. Fang asked anxiously, "What's the matter?"

"The buns and sweet wine were given to me by Xie Xiangxiang. I have a stomachache..." She felt a little stomachache just now. Now she felt a little dizzy and slowly fell to the ground.

Mrs. Fang was extremely panicked for a moment, and shouted "Tingting, don't scare me". She suddenly picked up the buns and sweet wine that Xie Tingting had brought, and after smelling them, she couldn't identify any poison.

Call Xie Yao in and ask Xie Yao to give it to Xie Jinrong: "You must give it to my grandfather. Just say that it was given by Sister Xiangxiang. If you are not willing to eat it, give it to your grandfather."

She was worried that Xie Yao would eat it himself, so she accompanied him to the door of Datongpu where Xie Jinrong slept. Xie Yao went in and met Xie Yun.

Xie Yun heard that Xie Xiangxiang gave it to his grandfather, so he told him to go back and I would give it to his grandfather. Xie Yao stepped forward, and Xie Yun immediately ate a bun in two mouthfuls and drank a bamboo tube of sweet wine.

You are old, why do you eat so much?
