Chapter 258 Is there anything wrong with sending some food?

Chapter 258 Is there anything wrong with sending some food?

Lin Yuxi has been secretly observing Jiang Wan since she came here.

Jiang Wan stood out among the exiles, shining like a crane among chickens. Her hair was a little messy but smooth and shiny, and her face was a little tired but delicate.

When Lin Yuxi handed over the package, the faint scent of shower gel surprised her even more!

The heroine was so blatant, but the people around her seemed to be blind and didn't notice at all!

Lin Yuxi couldn't help but complain, wondering how much the world consciousness of this world dotes on the heroine, giving her such a big golden finger!

The servant who was about to go and prepare hot food came over to report, "Third Master, Madam, the food is ready!"

Looking at the food boxes in the hands of several servants, Shen Minghui nodded, took one, and walked towards the bailiffs.

Shen Minghui smiled as he walked quickly to the escorts and said, "My dear officials, you have worked hard on the journey! I hope you will not despise this simple meal."

The tense faces of several escorts relaxed a little. One of the older escorts looked up at the food box in Shen Minghui's hand and said, "Oh, you are quite sensible."

Shen Minghui quickly opened the food box, which contained a steaming roast chicken, several exquisite side dishes, and a pot of wine. "Sir, this is just a small token of my respect. My wife's family is in trouble this time, and I hope you can take care of her on the way."

The escort picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. He chewed it for a few times and nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, since you are so good at handling things, as long as they behave themselves, we won't make things too difficult for them."

Shen Minghui quickly bowed and said, "That's right, I feel much more relieved after hearing what you said."

Another younger escort said, "However, this road of exile is not easy to travel. Whether they can survive it depends on their own luck."

Shen Minghui smiled apologetically, "Yes, yes, as long as the officials can show some mercy, it will be a blessing for them."

After the escorts finished eating and drinking, Shen Minghui took out a silver note from his pocket and quietly put it into the hands of the leading escort, "Sir, this little money is for you to have tea. I will rely on you in the future."

The escort calmly put the banknote into his arms and said, "Okay, okay."

Shen Minghui finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to Lin Yuxi. Lin Yuxi looked at Shen Minghui walking back, her eyes full of concern, and asked in a low voice, "How is it, husband?"

Shen Minghui patted her hand gently and said soothingly, "Don't worry, ma'am. The escorts have collected the things and should be able to take care of it."

Lin Yuxi nodded slightly, still with a worried look on her face: "I just hope there will be fewer twists and turns along the way. These old and young people are really worrying!"

Shen Minghui patted Lin Yuxi's hand soothingly and said softly: "Madam, don't worry too much. We have done what we should do. The rest can only rely on themselves!"

Lin Yuxi nodded, gathered herself together, and gave the remaining food boxes to her family.

Lin Yuxi's family sat together, and when they saw the food box she handed over, their eyes showed joy and emotion.

Grandmother, Mrs. Lin, stretched out her hand tremblingly, her eyes reddened: "My Xi'er, it's amazing that you are so thoughtful!"

Master Lin and his wife were also moved. His wife held Lin Yuxi's hand and choked up a little: "Yuxi, you must be well at your husband's house, and don't worry about us."

Lin Yuxuan looked at his sister, his eyes full of relief and love: "Sister, this time it's all thanks to you."

His daughter-in-law was coaxing her son, and the child opened his big, ignorant eyes and shouted, "Hello, Auntie, Hello, Auntie."

Lin Ruiyuan from the first wife sat on the ground, his face pale. Due to the injury on his leg, he had difficulty moving.

Lin Ruichi helped him up with great effort and said, "Brother, eat something first." Lin Wanqing helped from the side, her eyes full of worry.

Lin Ruiyuan managed a smile with difficulty: "Don't just focus on me, let's eat together."

Jiang Wan took the food box and said softly, "Everyone, please don't be polite. Let's share the food. This is all from sister Yuxi's heart."

However, when I opened the food box and saw that there was only chicken soup inside, a trace of disgust subconsciously flashed across my face!

Lin Yuxi is really something. If she wanted to give something as a gift, she shouldn't give more. How much trouble would it take to arrange a table of food? How could anyone drink such a small amount of chicken soup?

Jiang Wan kept complaining in her heart, but subconsciously forgot that they were in exile now! And there were escorts watching beside them!

It's just a small thing, the escort can turn a blind eye if he gets a benefit, but if it's really brought to a banquet, there's no way he can turn a blind eye!

A prisoner should act like a prisoner!

Although Jiang Wan complained so much in her heart, she managed her facial expression very well. She sniffed it lightly and said, "Wow, it smells so good! My husband, you guys should drink more later!"

As he said this, he smiled and distributed chicken soup to several people. In the end, it seemed that there was not much chicken soup left, so he only served himself a bowl of soup symbolically and shared the rest with everyone. The bowl in front of Lin Ruiyuan was filled to the brim.

Others were touched when they saw this scene!

Lin Ruiyuan looked at the big bowl of chicken soup in front of him, and then looked at the shallow bottom of the bowl in front of Jiang Wan. A hint of emotion flashed in his eyes. How much did Jiang Wan love him to want to keep all the good things for him!

Think about the means Jiang Wan used to marry him. When she was escorted out of the capital, she was sent a document of severing the engagement by the Shangshu Mansion, severing their relationship.

His heart was filled with tenderness, and when he looked at Jiang Wan again, his eyes were unconsciously filled with affection.

Jiang Wan was just thinking about what kind of imperial meal to eat later when half a bowl of chicken soup was poured into her bowl. When she looked up, she saw Lin Ruiyuan's smiling face and his hand that had not been retracted yet. "Let's drink together. Don't always worry about me. You should also take care of yourself!"

Jiang Wan choked. The chicken soup was not as delicious as the imperial meal. She poured the soup back unhappily. "You are still injured and need to replenish your nutrition. Don't give in to me. We still have a long life ahead of us!"

She reached out and held down Lin Ruiyuan's hand as he tried to fall back, "I told you to eat, didn't you hear me?"

Realizing that she had lost her composure by speaking too loudly, she quickly calmed down and forced a smile, "My husband's first priority is to heal his wounds, so don't refuse, okay?"

Seeing everyone nodding subconsciously after being frightened by her expression, she picked up the chopsticks and said calmly: "Let's eat!"

……

Lin Yuxi went back with Shen Minghui long after the food boxes were delivered. The Shen family still had a tough battle to fight!

Sure enough, when they went back, they were blocked by the crowd at the door.

"Hey, you guys still remember to come back?" The second sister-in-law crossed her arms and looked at Lin Yuxi and Shen Minghui with a sarcastic expression.

Lin Yuxi bit her lip and said nothing, while Shen Minghui frowned and said coldly, "Second sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"

The second sister-in-law snorted coldly, "What are you talking about? You two did a good thing! You sent things to the Lin family who were confiscated and exiled without telling your family. Do you want to drag the entire Shen family into this?"

At this time, the eldest sister-in-law said slowly: "That's right, Third Brother, you are too ignorant. The old lady has warned you again and again, and you dare to disobey."

Shen Minghui glared at his sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, I know how to behave. I don't need you to teach me a lesson."

"Do you have a sense of propriety?" Second Sister-in-law said sharply, "Your sense of propriety is to put the Shen family in danger? You two are ignorant of the heavens and the earth, do you really think you can do whatever you want?"

Lin Yuxi couldn't help but said, "Second sister-in-law, we just sent some food and didn't do anything to harm the Shen family."

"Still quibbling!" The second sister-in-law stepped forward and pointed at Lin Yuxi's nose. "The Lin family has already fallen. It's a serious crime to have anything to do with them. You actually dare to send gifts blatantly. Isn't this handing the handle to others?"

The servants around all lowered their heads and dared not make a sound. The whole yard was filled with a tense atmosphere.

At this time, the old lady of the Shen family came out with the help of her maid. She had a gloomy face and stared at Shen Minghui and Lin Yuxi sternly.

"Kneel down!" the old lady shouted angrily.

Shen Minghui and Lin Yuxi looked at each other and knelt down helplessly.

"Third brother, third brother's wife, what did I tell you before? Did you turn a deaf ear to my words?" The old lady was so angry that her body trembled slightly.

Shen Minghui lowered his head and said, "Mother, Yuxi's family has suffered such a disaster. We just want to do our best to show our gratitude. We have no other intentions."

"Thoughts?" The old lady laughed in anger, "Your thoughts will bring ruin to the Shen family! Now that the Shen family is in such a precarious situation, all forces are watching, and you are just walking into the trap."

Lin Yuxi's eyes were red, and she choked up and said, "Madam, it's my daughter-in-law's fault. Don't blame Minghui. He did it all for me."

"Humph, none of you can escape." The old lady stabbed the ground with her cane. "How could the Shen family produce such ignorant people like you two?"

Second Master Shen Mingfeng came over and said to the old lady, "Mother, we can't just let this go. Third brother and his friends are so disregarding of the family's safety, they must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others."

Uncle Shen Mingchen also echoed, "Yes, mother, my third brother and his friends have gone too far this time. If we don't deal with them, how will we manage the family in the future?"

Shen Minghui suddenly raised his head and looked at his two brothers, "Big brother, second brother, why do you have to add insult to injury?"

"Third brother, this is not to kick someone when he's down. We are doing this for the sake of the family." The second master said with a wry smile.

"You guys..." Shen Minghui clenched his fists in anger.

The old lady pondered for a moment and said, "Old Third, Old Third's wife, since you knowingly committed the crime, from today on, you will leave the Shen family. From now on, you will have no relationship with the Shen family."

"Mother/Old Lady!" Shen Minghui and Lin Yuxi exclaimed in unison.

"Don't say anything more. This is my decision." The old lady waved her hand with a determined look on her face.

Lin Yuxi burst into tears, and her entire body seemed to be broken-hearted. Her voice began to tremble.

"Madam, all the mistakes are the daughter-in-law's fault. Please don't chase the Third Master away. The Third Master really did nothing wrong. It was the daughter-in-law who was ignorant and instigated the Third Master. All the faults are on the daughter-in-law alone. Please just punish me, don't punish our Third Master!"

"My dear, please stop talking!" Shen Minghui hugged Lin Yuxi tightly in his arms, his eyes firm and resolute, "If you want to leave, let's leave together. If you want to stay, let's stay together! I will never let you bear this punishment alone. We will live and die together and never separate!"

The old lady's face was gloomy. She snorted coldly and said, "Humph! You two are indeed very close friends. But this matter concerns the future of our family. How can I allow you to act so recklessly?"

Lin Yuxi broke free from the Third Master's embrace, knelt on the ground with a plop, and banged her forehead heavily on the cold ground, crying:

"Madam, I am willing to accept any punishment, even if it means going through fire and water, just to ask you to spare the Third Master. The Third Master has always cared about the family and worked hard for the family, and has never slacked off. This mistake was made because of my ignorance and willfulness. Please spare our Third Master!"

Shen Minghui knelt down with a plop, his back straight, his eyes firm and he said loudly:

"Mother, since Yuxi married into our Shen family, she has always been virtuous and considerate, and has never made the slightest mistake.

This time she committed this so-called mistake only because she was worried about her family. If it is considered a mistake just because of this true concern for her family, then mother, you can punish her if you want!"

The old lady glared at him, her fingers trembling slightly. "Do you think that your plea can change my decision? The dignity of the family cannot be challenged. If you make a mistake, you must bear the consequences."

At this moment, everyone around was silent as a mouse, not daring to make a sound.

Lin Yuxi raised her tearful face, her eyes revealing despair and pleading: "Madam, as long as Third Master can be safe, I am willing to be kicked out of the house and never set foot here again."

Upon hearing this, Shen Minghui shouted excitedly: "Yuxi, what nonsense are you talking about! I will never allow you to leave me. Even if it costs me my life, I will protect you."

The old lady looked at the two of them, still so stubborn, with a terribly gloomy face. She snorted coldly:

"Humph, you are so stubborn! Do you think that by playing a trick on me, an old woman like me will soften my heart? I tell you that you are dreaming!"

"Lin Yuxi, I underestimated you in the past. You are capable of charming my son to the point of infatuation!"

"I lose this round!"

"But I am not someone who cannot afford to lose!"

She looked at Shen Minghui, her face full of disappointment. She had placed great hopes on her son, but she never expected that he would be ruined by a woman!

"Third brother, you have really been bewitched by this woman and have even ignored your real family! If that's the case, don't blame me for not recognizing you as your son!"

After saying this, regardless of the soreness in his eyes, he resolutely threw away the document of severing the relationship that he had prepared long ago!

Shen Minghui widened his eyes, looking at the document of severing the relationship that was falling down in disbelief, his body trembling slightly.

He said with difficulty: "Mother, are you really so heartless?"

The second sister-in-law said sarcastically, "Third brother, don't pretend to be ignorant! In the final analysis, the old lady and all of us combined are not as valuable as a tear from your wife!"

The eldest sister-in-law looked at the document of breaking off the relationship and was secretly happy, but she sighed in a pretentious manner, "Ah, the relationship between you two, sister-in-law, I really don't know whether I should envy you or feel sad for you, third brother!"

Shen Mingchen frowned, "Old Third, don't be stubborn anymore. As long as you divorce this woman and promise not to see her again, you will still be the Third Master of the Shen Family!"

The second sister-in-law looked at the affectionate couple and felt jealous. She said, "Humph, a foxy girl has bewitched the third brother so much that he doesn't even want to have a family anymore!"

Lin Yuxi bit her lip tightly and said sadly: "My husband, I have implicated you. Please don't argue with your family for me anymore. I will leave now."

Shen Minghui took Lin Yuxi into his arms and said firmly: "My wife, I will not let you go. Even if I break up with the entire Shen family today, I will protect you."

The old lady was so angry that she stomped her cane on the ground: "Rebellious son! Are you really going to break up with your family for this woman?"

Shen Minghui's eyes were determined: "Mom, if you insist on doing this, I will be unfilial. But Yuxi and I will be together through life and death."

After saying that, he took Lin Yuxi's hand, turned around and strode away.

Behind him came the old lady's roar and the sarcasm of his eldest brother, second brother, eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, but he did not pause at all and took Lin Yuxi away from this cold and ruthless place.
