Chapter 651: Hou Shi's Departure

Hou Shi pulled Sixth Miss and turned around, leaving the main hall. As they walked into the courtyard, she saw Xue Yinu, who had been hiding in the firewood room, with a smug expression on her face.

Hou Shi couldn't be bothered with her and picked up the baggage from the ground.

Second Master took a few steps forward and chased after them. "Hou Shi, you better think it through. Once you step out of this door today, it won't be so easy to come back next time. If you're willing to admit your mistakes, behave well, and serve the others in the family obediently, I can give you another chance."

Hou Shi didn't have deep feelings for Second Master to begin with. She had married him in the first place to escape the brothel.

Little did she know that leaving the brothel wouldn't spare her from exile. The outcome wasn't much better either.

The only comfort she had was her considerate daughter.

That's why leaving Second Master held no sway in her heart. She even wished to leave right away.

Unfortunately, all the food she had saved up was eaten by these wretched creatures.

Hearing Second Master's furious voice behind her, Hou Shi left with Sixth Miss without even turning her head.

Second Master and the others were stunned. Did she really leave? Did she think the Lu family would shelter her forever?

Hou Shi and her daughter left cleanly, but once they were out of the courtyard, Sixth Miss couldn't help but shed tears.

He was her father, unlike her mother.

Before the fall of the Shu family, her father had loved her dearly and would think of her when he had something good.

She felt distressed with the current situation.

But if she had to choose between her parents, she would naturally stand firmly on her mother's side without any hesitation.

Hou Shi didn't try to console her and let her vent her emotions.

She planned to go straight to the village. Since they couldn't stay here anymore, she would inform Cheng Daren that they would go to the post station today.

Initially, she thought they still had half a day left and that they could gather and have a conversation when Shu Yu returned. She didn't know when they would meet again after parting ways.

But now, that wish couldn't be fulfilled. Fortunately, Cheng Daren and the others planned to wait for Shu Yu to return from hunting, so she would go directly to the village then. They would at least have a chance to meet before leaving.

However, halfway through their journey, Hou Shi suddenly stopped.

Sixth Miss looked up while sobbing, "Mother, what's wrong?"

"During these days, Lady Lu has been taking care of us. She even gave us warm clothes and plenty of food. Since we're leaving, it's only right to say goodbye to her. Let's go to the Lu family first."

Sixth Miss nodded, and they immediately changed their direction.

As they entered the gate of the Lu family, they were unaware that someone was following them.

Shu Feng raised his gaze and glanced at the house not far away, sneering. So, this is the Lu family. He made a mental note.

After the Lu family's gate closed, Shu Feng didn't pay any more attention. He changed direction and walked towards another destination.

After a few steps, a voice came from behind, "Big Brother, where are you going?"

Shu Feng turned around and saw Shu Quan catching up three or four steps behind. "I lost sight of you in an instant. How did you end up here?"

"I was planning to go into the mountains."

Shu Quan was stunned. "Into the mountains? Now?"

"Yes." Shu Feng raised his gaze to the distant mountain peaks, as if he could still hear the sounds of wild beasts. "You also heard what aunt Xue said. Working in the wasteland is meaningless for us—tiring and with little gain. But it's different in the mountains."

Chapter 6 Rescued (2)

Mo Yan didn't miss the "eye signals" between them, but she was too preoccupied with saving people to speculate about the thoughts of this master and servant.

When Mo Yan arrived with the rescuers, Mo Qingze, who was weak and powerless after enduring hunger for many days, was being besieged by those villains, curled up on the ground without any strength to resist! The two younger ones were also restrained, watching their father being beaten, already sobbing silently.

Mo Yan's anger surged from her heart. She rushed forward in three steps and two steps. Xiao Shiyi and the others were faster than her. By the time she helped Mo Qingze up and comforted the two siblings, the battle had already ended. Those villains were securely tied up, lying on the ground whimpering, with none of their previous fierceness and arrogance!

"Many thanks to you all. If it weren't for your help, my whole family would have perished here!" Mo Yan was genuinely grateful and thanked them again solemnly.

Xiao Shiyi waved his hand, "Miss, no need for courtesy. These scoundrels have caused harm to who knows how many people. Running into us was also a way to rid the people of a calamity!"

After speaking, he looked at the weak Mo family of four and couldn't help but ask, "Are you planning to go to Yongcheng? We happened to pass by Yongcheng the day before yesterday. Many refugees have gathered there. The prefect is worried about chaos and has ordered the city gates to be closed. If the disaster isn't resolved and the crowd doesn't disperse, the city gates won't open."

What he didn't say was that the refugees gathered at the city gates were capable of doing anything to survive. He had personally witnessed more than a dozen people fighting to death over a stale cake.

Mo Qingze was taken aback. He wasn't just a bookish scholar who only knew how to read the classics. He could guess the situation in Yongcheng to some extent. However, if they didn't go to Yongcheng, where else could they go?

Mo Yan was also somewhat surprised. The original owner had never traveled far from home and didn't know how large the territory of Chu was. She only knew that her father said they were going to Yongcheng, so she followed along, knowing nothing else. And as a newcomer, she was even less aware of whether there were other places to go.

As for having the space and being able to return home, she hadn't thought about it. Now with the marauders and the court in fierce conflict, returning home would probably put her life in danger.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment as everyone pondered.

Xiao Shiyi looked at the pensive father and daughter and also realized that they couldn't think of a good place to go for the time being, so he suggested, "You can take a detour to the capital. Although it's a bit far, it's safer under the imperial city!"

Mo Yan's eyes lit up at the idea of going to the capital. Although many refugees had also flooded into the capital, although refugees were not allowed into the city, the current emperor was benevolent and had ordered the construction of temporary shelters outside the city to accommodate refugees. There was also a porridge shed that distributed porridge daily. Although it wasn't filling, it would prevent starvation.

Mo Qingze pondered for a moment and was also somewhat swayed by the suggestion. However, the distance from here to the capital was too far. With just their legs, they wouldn't be able to make it in over a month. He was more worried about encountering incidents like today's rather than not finding anything to eat along the way.

Seeing Mo Qingze silent, Xiao Shiyi guessed his concerns and didn't continue to persuade him. If they were just passing by, he could ask his master for a favor and take this family to the capital. But they were currently on a mission to suppress rebellion in the south on imperial orders...

In the end, Mo Qingze didn't make up his mind, but he accepted Xiao Shiyi's goodwill and thanked him again.

With the master still waiting, Xiao Shiyi didn't linger for long. He took out a token and stuffed it into Mo Qingze's hand without saying a word, then hastily left with the other five men who had captured the evildoers.

Watching Xiao Shiyi and the others leave, Mo Yan looked at the small pass token in Mo Qingze's hand and couldn't help feeling warm in her heart. There were still many good people in the world! She also silently vowed in her heart: If given the chance, she would repay this life-saving grace.

She didn't like owing favors. Once indebted, the price to pay in the future might be unbearable. This was also the main reason why she didn't walk away after crossing over into the original owner's body but decided to take care of the original owner's family.

And this little episode didn't leave too deep a mark on either side. Naturally, they didn't know that they would have such deep ties in the future...

Chapter 5 Rescued (1)

In the middle of the road, a thin and weak girl was blocking the way, facing her were dozens of tall horses... and on the horseback, there were dozens of robust men full of hostility.

These people made Mo Yan extremely wary, but the safety of the Mo family was the most important thing at the moment. She nervously looked up, but unexpectedly met a pair of ink-like deep eyes—

With a clear and lean appearance, ethereal like a deity!

Mo Yan stared blankly at the man in front of her, who seemed like a figure from a painting. For a moment, she forgot her fear, and only these twelve words flashed through her mind. But when she met his seemingly soul-stirring eyes, she felt that even the most beautiful poetry in the world was a desecration to him!

Xiao Ruiyuan frowned, his eyes as cold as lacquer, looking coldly at the little girl who rushed up to him. She wasn't the first person who stared at him like this. There were those who were stunning, those who were trying to please, those who were calculating... but there had never been anyone as foolish as her. Could she really be a fool?

On the side, Xiao Shiyi had the same thought as his master. His originally impatient expression turned into pity.

If Mo Yan had telepathy and knew what these master and servant were thinking, she would definitely retort with her hands on her hips: You're the fool, your whole family is a fool!

Mo Yan wasn't really infatuated, it was just that the original owner was too hungry, so she was a bit slow to react, and being dazzled by beauty only took a moment, but she didn't forget the purpose of blocking the road.

"Esteemed gentlemen, this young lady did not intend to obstruct. It's just that my family has encountered a group of bandits who want to capture my younger brother and sister to eat. The bandits outnumber us, and I had no choice but to resort to this. Please forgive us and save us!"

Mo Yan didn't dare to delay and quickly finished her request. She anxiously looked at the handsome man who was obviously the leader, not sure if, in this age where life was as insignificant as grass, the other party would lend a hand, or... ignore them!

But when her gaze met the cold eyes of the man, she was still intimidated by his presence. Unconsciously averting her eyes, she secretly thought: Could this be the legendary aura of a king?

Xiao Ruiyuan's eyebrows twitched, but he didn't speak, nor did he turn his horse to leave.

Xiao Shiyi understood his master's thoughts. Although his master seemed cold and decisive, he was only like that towards certain people. Towards ordinary people without malicious intent, his master was still very tolerant. This time, when a little girl came out asking for help, it was still such a heinous thing, his master wouldn't just stand by.

Thinking of this, he spoke, "Miss, don't worry, I'll arrange for a few men to go with you to rescue your people!" As he finished speaking, he gestured behind him, and immediately five big men rode out.

Mo Yan didn't expect the other party to agree to help so easily. Overjoyed, she quickly thanked the handsome man, "Many thanks to the young master for lending a hand. I have nothing to repay your kindness. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely express my gratitude!"

Without the tacit consent of the handsome man, how would his subordinates dare to act on their own?

Although the handsome man still had a frosty face and his "no strangers allowed" mode was fully on, Mo Yan felt that this was typical of someone who appeared cold but was actually warm-hearted. Compared to those who were outwardly enthusiastic but secretly dug pits to bury people, he was much better.

Xiao Ruiyuan wouldn't take a yellow-haired girl's promise to heart, but when he looked at the sincere big eyes of the little girl, he subconsciously nodded.

This scene made Xiao Shiyi look straight, his face full of strangeness.

Sensing the gaze from his subordinate, Xiao Ruiyuan gave him a faint glance.

Xiao Shiyi shrank his neck and turned his head to Mo Yan, saying with a wooden face, "Miss, lead the way, we'll follow!"

Chapter 2: Emptying the House!

The granary was the largest warehouse, containing not only a pile of grains but also other vegetables and dried fruits.

Chen Xue naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass.

With these grains, whether on the journey of exile or upon arrival at the place of exile, they would have enough to eat.

Of course, besides grains, they also needed vegetables and fruits.

Fortunately, the granary had quite a few potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, etc., and they were all fresh, seemingly purchased not long ago.

Although not plentiful, adding up to a few hundred pounds, if not used as the main staple food, it would be enough for them to eat for several months.

Then, she went to another warehouse, which also stored food. With over a hundred people in the Chen family, they consumed several hundred pounds of food every day.

Therefore, besides the daily reserves of food, there was another warehouse for the daily consumption of food.

Every morning, the steward would purchase food early and then several hundred pounds of food would be consumed by hundreds of people in a day or even several days.

Now, this food hadn't been consumed yet, a pile of fresh vegetables, like cabbage, radish, and miscellaneous food totaling several hundred pounds, were all taken away by Chen Xue.

Since they would be ransacking the house in a few hours, there was no need to leave this food behind. Even the radish leaves wouldn't be left for the enemies by Chen Xue.

Just like a mouse entering a rice jar, every time Chen Xue entered a warehouse, everything inside would be swept away.

"Main staple food? Check. Vegetables? Check. Oh right, there are also pots, bowls, ladles..."

Thinking of this, Chen Xue hurried to the kitchen and took away everything inside, even the firewood piled in the woodshed.

"Kikikik!"

Just as Chen Xue was about to leave, she heard the crowing of a rooster. She followed the sound and saw a poultry farm in the outer courtyard.

Although the Chen family couldn't compare to the generals' and prime ministers' mansions, her father was at least a third-ranking official, so the mansion awarded by the court was several thousand square meters.

With such a large area, it was normal to have a small area for farming.

After all, it wasn't possible to buy enough chicken, duck, and goose every day to satisfy the meat needs of over a hundred people in the mansion.

Therefore, when Chen Xue saw chicken coops and duck coops, she was surprised but also somewhat delighted. With this, she would have the meat she wanted.

Unfortunately, although many chickens and ducks were kept in cages, some were still roaming free, so Chen Xue had to catch them herself.

For a moment, there was a flurry of feathers.

By the time she finished catching the chickens and ducks, her hair and clothes were covered in feathers.

She didn't care about it. It would be even more difficult during exile. Compared to that, this was nothing.

Moreover, in her previous life, she grew up in the countryside, catching birds in the mountains, fishing in the river, cooking over a fire, and killing chickens and ducks were all commonplace.

Unfortunately, there were no pigs raised in the mansion, which made her a bit regretful as she couldn't eat braised pork or stewed pork.

After collecting all the food, she moved on to the valuable items and antiques in each room.

She first ran back to her own room, where she saw piles of jewelry and Xiao Die standing beside them.

"You..."

Xiao Die was dumbfounded when she saw Chen Xue running in with feathers all over her hair. Wasn't the family about to be exiled? Why did Miss look like she had just escaped from the exile procession?

"I'm fine." Chen Xue interrupted her, "You go quickly and see if my mother has sent away all the servants."

After sending Xiao Die away, Chen Xue took away all the jewelry and other valuable items.

Then, she looked around her room and assessed her surroundings.

As expected of a young lady's room, the furnishings were luxurious, classical, and grand. Even the flower vases on the ground were exquisite.

"Good things shouldn't be left behind."

In the spirit of thriftiness, Chen Xue took away everything that looked valuable.

The flower vase?

Good stuff!

The dressing table?

Hmm, this can come too!

The bed?

This...

Well, forget it. If there's no bed in the room, it's too...

In the end, Chen Xue didn't take the bed, but she did take the bedding and even removed the curtains from the bed. Even the potted plants on the windowsill were gone.

After a while, the entire room was left with only tables, chairs, and a wooden bed, looking extremely bleak. One couldn't imagine that this was the room where the daughter of a Ministry of Revenue official, a young lady, lived.

Even the rooms of commoners might look...

Chen Xue didn't care about that. Since they were being exiled, and the people here didn't know about the existence of her space, there was no need to be overly cautious.

After that, she went to other rooms one by one. She didn't think too much about them and just waved her hand, taking away all the tables and chairs.

In the end, only empty rooms were left.

After clearing out the inner courtyard, it was time for the front courtyard. Although it was tiring, Chen Xue enjoyed it as if she didn't know about the impending exile.

"Splash!"

As she walked towards the front courtyard, Chen Xue heard the sound of water splashing. She turned her head and saw several red carp playing in the water, occasionally jumping out and falling back into the water.

"Sorry, you brought this upon yourselves."

Chen Xue rubbed her hands and ran to the lake, putting her hand into the water.

With her space covering thousands of acres, there was also a lake inside. As long as she put her hand into the water, she could collect all the water.

In the blink of an eye, the entire lake disappeared.

The water, the fish, oh, and the lotus flowers and lotus roots, all disappeared, leaving only a huge pit behind.

If someone who had never been here before saw this, they wouldn't know what it was originally.

Arriving at the front courtyard, Chen Xue saw her mother anxiously pacing back and forth in the hall, obviously waiting for news.

Seeing Chen Xue approaching, her mother hurriedly said, "Xiao Xue, have you thought it over? We can still leave through the tunnel now."

Chen Xue was enjoying herself with the search and had already prepared for exile. Even if they were exiled now, she wouldn't be worried.

However, leaving now would definitely attract the emperor's pursuit and the pursuit of their enemies. At that time, there would truly be no place for her in the world.

"Mother, I'm not leaving. I want to stay with you all."

Touched, the woman hugged Chen Xue, feeling that she hadn't raised her daughter in vain.

"Madam..."

At this moment, a servant who had gone out for help returned.

"How did it go?"

Madam released Chen Xue and looked at the servant, her eyes full of hope.

"Assistant Minister of the Grand Court and Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites both said that the imperial decision is final, and there's no possibility of overturning it. They advised us to accept it..."

"Hehe, when disaster strikes, everyone runs for themselves." Madam sneered, "Those who were as close as brothers on ordinary days now treat us like strangers. That's human nature."

"By the way, Madam, on my way back, I saw General Guo leading the Golden Guards towards us..."

Guo Qiang!

Madam's eyes narrowed. Guo Qiang wasn't important, but what was important was that his uncle was the Minister of Revenue, Chen Heng's immediate superior.

According to reason, with the suspicion of embezzlement of disaster relief food, the Minister of Revenue would be the most suspected. But he was safe and sound, while Chen Yuan was thrown into prison.

A family's members know its own matters best.

Her husband didn't embezzle, so the most suspicious one was the Minister of Revenue. What's more, the person who was ransacking their house now was a relative of the Minister of Revenue.

Anyone with half a brain could see the hidden agenda behind this, but what could they do even if they saw it?

Just as she was thinking, a group of soldiers rushed in from outside.

Chapter 1: Exiled at the Beginning

"Miss, wake up quickly, we need to leave immediately, or we won't have a chance!"

Chen Xue had just opened her eyes when she saw a green-dressed girl hurriedly packing things with an anxious expression, shouting beside her.

She was about to say something when memories not belonging to her flooded her mind.

This was Da Yue Kingdom, a world similar to ancient times.

The original host was the only daughter of the Minister of Revenue, always doted upon. Who would have thought that one day, her father would be falsely accused of embezzling disaster relief food by someone, thrown into prison by the emperor, and the whole family exiled to a remote place.

Chen Xue was well aware that although her father was not a clean official, he was not corrupt either.

So, the answer was simple.

The disaster relief food was embezzled by others, and her father was made the scapegoat.

Although she knew this, she had no evidence, and with her status, she couldn't possibly overturn the case.

Moreover, the most crucial thing was that this matter had already been settled, and there was no way to change it.

Unless she could find decisive evidence, then face the emperor and persuade him, there would be a chance to overturn the case.

But if it was indeed someone framing her family, they would definitely not give them a chance to overturn the case.

Moreover, would the emperor really be willing to overturn the case?

"Miss, you're awake. Madam asked us to pack up and leave as soon as possible. It won't be long before someone comes to ransack the house, and then we..." the girl beside Chen Xue saw her wake up and hurriedly reminded her.

Chen Xue suddenly remembered that the original host heard the news of her father being thrown into prison and the family being exiled, and died of grief.

Although the imperial decree had been issued, it would still take some time for it to be executed.

They received the news because after attending court, officials who were friendly with her father quickly passed the message to her family.

So her mother told her to pack up and escape.

"I can't escape."

Chen Xue was well aware that the entire world belonged to the royal family, where could they escape to, especially in an unfamiliar place.

Moreover, exile didn't mean death. If they escaped, it would definitely anger the emperor, and they would be doomed.

"We still have time..."

She immediately stopped wasting time and instructed the maid to pack up all the valuable things in the room and stack them together, then quickly left the room.

Her father had already been thrown into prison, and only her mother was at home now.

As soon as Chen Xue ran to the hall, her mother hurried over, "Xiao Xue, why haven't you left yet? What about Xiao Die? What should we do?"

"Mother, I don't want to leave, and we can't leave at this time."

Since she inherited the original host's body, her family was her own.

"Why can't we leave?" the beautiful woman asked anxiously, "Our house has a tunnel left by the previous owner, which leads directly outside..."

"Mother..." Chen Xue interrupted, "Father was framed. Would those people really let us go? They will definitely try to get rid of us to eliminate future troubles. So, as long as we are in public view, they wouldn't dare to harm us."

The woman didn't expect her daughter to be so insightful, but she also felt it made sense.

"Mother, send the servants away first, and I'll make preparations."

"Preparations?"

What preparations?

Preparations for exile?

The woman knew very well that when the house was ransacked, those people would not leave anything valuable for them.

Even if they prepared, it would only benefit others.

But she didn't stop her. Xiao Xue was stubborn. If she didn't want to leave, no one could force her. It was better to think of other ways.

"Ah Yun, send the servants away. We can leave as soon as possible. Also, go contact your father's relatives and friends to see if anyone can help or submit a petition."

A woman next to her nodded and immediately went to give orders.

Meanwhile, Chen Xue headed to her family's treasury.

"Ransack the house?"

She sneered, "Let me take everything away first, then see what you can ransack."

She had brought her spatial dimension with her when she crossed over, so she could take away as much as she wanted.

Since that was the case, why should she give others a bargain?

Moreover, she knew how difficult the road of exile was. If she had money to arrange things a bit, it wouldn't be so hard.

She had just crossed over and hadn't enjoyed her blessings yet. Now she had to suffer. She absolutely refused. Since she wasn't living well, she couldn't let her enemies live well either.

Then, when those people couldn't find anything to ransack, she didn't know what expression they would have.

She instructed her mother to send the servants away because she didn't want to see them when she took away the valuables.

Now that everyone heard they were going to ransack the house and exile them, they all ran away, leaving the mansion empty.

Chen Xue had long obtained the key to the treasury and, upon entering, saw boxes filled with treasures.

Some were closed, some were open, and the open ones emitted golden and silver glows.

Those were all gold and silver.

There were also some jewelry.

These were all savings of the Chen family over the past dozen years.

Although her father wasn't corrupt, the family's savings over the decades were not insignificant. Over a dozen boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry were worth more than tens of thousands.

"Fortune has come!"

She had never seen so much money in her previous life, let alone so much gold, silver, and jewelry. She was suddenly dazzled.

Excitedly, she ran to the boxes filled with gold and silver jewelry, clapped her hands, and took them away.

In addition to gold and silver jewelry, there were also some antiques such as brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, calligraphy, and paintings.

Chen Xue naturally wouldn't leave them behind, even taking away the shelves. Soon, the large treasury was filled with nothing but dust.

Chen Xue clapped her hands in satisfaction and left for the next treasury.

A wise hare has three burrows.

The Chen family naturally couldn't have only one treasury.

In addition to the treasury, there were also other warehouses.

Opening the warehouse, Chen Xue saw piles of food, bags of rice and flour. Even if they were unopened, the contents were visible.

There were thousands of bags of rice and flour.

Chen Xue frowned when she saw this scene. It was obviously not right. Even if there were more people in her family, the warehouse wouldn't store so much grain.

Moreover, some of the grain was obviously not right.

The bags were labeled "Disaster Relief."

It was obviously disaster relief food, the same food that went missing, the evidence that led to her father being thrown into prison.

Although she didn't know why it appeared in their warehouse, it was obvious that it wasn't her father's doing, so it must have been their enemies'.

No doubt, their enemies wanted to frame them.

However, it was a pity that their plan backfired.

Chen Xue sneered and took away the grain. In her heart, she even wanted to thank her enemies for sending so much food. After being exiled, they wouldn't have to worry about food.

"Hahaha!"

On the street, a man followed by a group of soldiers with long spears walked towards the Chen family. Along the way, the man seemed to think of something and burst into laughter.

After ransacking the Chen family, he could get a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and as long as he opened their warehouse, he could find evidence of Chen Yuan's corruption. By then, Chen Yuan would have no chance of turning things around.

Killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, the man suppressed the excitement in his heart and hurried towards the Chen family.

PS: Let me explain, about the protagonist not being married yet, this book is a fictional world, it's fictional, don't compare it to ancient times... And in ancient times, the marriageable age for women varied from dynasty to dynasty. In the Zhou Dynasty, women could marry at 20 years old, in the Han Dynasty at the latest 30 years old, in the Jin Dynasty at 17 years old, in the Song Dynasty between 14 and 20 years old, and in the Ming Dynasty between 14 and 20 years old. It's not considered late at all.

By the way, do you all really want the protagonist to get married? (Unfortunately, the female lead in this book won't get married)

【Exile + Farming + Spatial + System + Opening Up + No CP】

Just as she crossed over, she was tragically exiled, but fortunately, she had a spatial dimension at her disposal.

Rob the house?

Rob the air instead. Chen Xue immediately emptied out the Chen Family Estate, from the floor to the bed curtains, even the garden and lake were not spared. She even moved away the several thousand kilograms of food that her enemies had planted to frame her.

When the enemies came to ransack the house.

The enemy was dumbfounded, "Where are the things? The several thousand kilograms of supplies I secretly placed?"

One of the household servants said, "Sir, apart from rat droppings, there's nothing in the Chen Family residence."

A colleague remarked, "Sir Chen is so honest, there's not a grain of food in the house, and even the family sleeps on the floor."

Chen Xue said, "My family is really poor, there's not even a single grain of rice in the jar, we're so poor we can't even afford to cook."

So, everyone knew that there was a Mr. Chen in the capital who was struggling and penniless.

Chen Xue's Father: "Whoever says my family is struggling and penniless, I'll take issue with them!"

Chen Xue's Mother: "It was our daughter who said it."

Chen Xue's Father: "Ahem, well then, that's okay."

Chen Xue said that exile was very difficult, not only enduring the wind, sun, rain, but also lacking sufficient food...

The convicts and constables sneered, "Go on, we are the ones exiled, you're practically on vacation."

Among the exiled group, the Chen family lay in the carriage, drinking tea, eating dried fruits, playing Go, leisurely cultivating vegetables in the spatial dimension, and when craving, exchanging snacks like spicy strips from the system, living quite contentedly.
