Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

"Why should I stop you? In my current state, you're the one making most of the decisions on the road. I won't ask where your money comes from, but I believe you're not the kind of person who's willing to suffer losses. Since you've decided to do this, you must have your own reasons. Asking won't help you."

Ji Yunshu nodded slightly. This man was indeed sensible and understanding. However, there were some things she wasn't afraid to tell him.

"Actually, I hid that silver on my person when I left the Prince's mansion. I told you while I was there that the mansion might be raided and the family exiled, so I tried to hide some silver notes on myself. You don't need to ask me where I hid it."

All you need to know is that I am very rich now, and extremely rich.

Although I have money, I'm not a fool. I'll make him cough up those five hundred taels of silver sooner or later.

Forget about the five hundred taels, she'll definitely make that county magistrate cough up even more!

Do you really think her money is so easy to earn?

Xie Moyao was momentarily stunned by her spirited appearance. This was the first time he had ever seen a woman so radiant, flamboyant, confident, and even a little domineering.

How could there be such a woman in the world?

His gaze inadvertently fell on his legs, and he thought about his broken body, feeling like a cripple. He felt that someone like him was not worthy of Ji Yunshu.

A person like Ji Yunshu deserves someone of equal ability, elegant demeanor, and gentle refinement.

His nose felt slightly sore, he shook his head, and thought, "Never mind, I won't think about these things anymore."

If Ji Yunshu were to leave when they reached the place of exile, he would not pester her shamelessly; Ji Yunshu had already done enough for them.

He also had some selfish thoughts; he wanted to spend more time with her, even just a moment longer.

Seeing Xie Moyao's blank expression, Ji Yunshu thought she was feeling unwell again and was about to ask when suddenly, a mechanical voice started beeping in her head.

New supplies have been unlocked, please check.

Overjoyed, she forgot to ask Xie Moyao and explored the space with her consciousness. She saw that the vehicles on the roof of the shopping mall were slowly turning into colors, but the speed was very slow. Only one bicycle was fully exposed.

The bicycle was red, and one of its tires was as thick as an adult's arm and looked to be of very good quality. The entire bicycle was almost as tall as Ji Yunshu, and the tires had many anti-slip sprockets.

Ji Yunshu's lips twitched. She knew this bicycle was of super high quality, but she was in ancient times!

The terrain is vast, and the cities are far apart. If you give her a bicycle, how far can she go?

Unlike in modern times, where you can ride a bicycle, take a bus, subway, or airplane, etc.

She looked at the other vehicles again; apart from a bicycle, all the others were still grayed out and unlocked.

Ji Yunshu sighed. "A bicycle it is. It can be very useful in a critical moment. It's better than having to walk."

She really couldn't get used to riding in this ancient carriage; it was incredibly bumpy, like riding a pirate ship or a roller coaster, making her dizzy.

Noticing that the carriage outside had stopped, Ji Yunshu withdrew her thoughts, lifted the carriage curtain, and looked at the situation outside.

The streets were already dark, and small groups of people hurried by.

The soldiers who led them into the city took them to the street and said,

"Alright, my job is just to lead you into the city. As for where to rest, you can find yourselves. Also, our county magistrate said that you should behave yourselves in the county town and not cause any trouble. You should leave first thing tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

The group was somewhat helpless, thinking that the soldiers would find them a place to stay after leading them into the city, but they were unexpectedly abandoned on the street.

They had very little money left and probably couldn't afford to stay in an inn.

Ling Yun scratched his head, feeling a real headache. With so many people around, they couldn't just lie down on the street.

He touched his purse, then turned around and grabbed the departing soldiers.

"Sir, we are all working for the imperial court, and it's not easy for us when we're out on the road. Could you do us a favor and help us find a place to rest? It doesn't have to be fancy, just a place where we can find some shelter."

"You know, if we rest on the street, it won't look very presentable when the people in your city wake up tomorrow morning."

As he spoke, he took out some loose silver coins from his bag and stuffed them into the soldiers' hands.

The officer weighed the silver in his hand, glanced at Ling Yun, then at the crowd behind him, before stuffing the silver into his bag.

"Alright, alright, since you're so sincere, I'll find you a place. But whether you dare to stay there is up to you to decide."

Ling Yun nodded quickly.

"We'll find a place to stay, as long as we're not sleeping on the streets, we'll stay."

The officer gave him a meaningful look, then turned and waved.

"Alright, in that case, come with me!"

Ji Yunshu sat in the carriage and saw this scene without saying a word.

She also wanted a place where she could rest properly. She had plenty of money, but sleeping on the streets was absolutely out of the question.

Now that Lingyun has solved her accommodation problem, she doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

They went along to take a look, and if the place was suitable, they would stay there instead of opening another inn.

If something is free and cheap, why not take advantage of it!

A large group of people walked down the street and soon arrived at a large mansion.

Ji Yunshu jumped down from the carriage, looked up at the large mansion in front of her, and for some reason, felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

The mansion looked somewhat dilapidated, but the decoration was very grand, indicating that it must have been a very prestigious and wealthy family in the past.

The house is located in the middle of a street, surrounded by densely packed houses and some streets. This street must have been very lively before, but for some reason it is now deserted.

There was no one on the street, and the surrounding houses and shops were all dark, as if no one lived there.

Ji Yunshu looked around at everything. Despite it being a hot day, she felt a chill down her spine.

"Alright, alright, this is it. If you have the guts, you can rest here tonight. I'm going back." The soldiers waved their hands, turned around and left, as if they couldn't wait to leave.

Seeing that the soldiers were about to leave, Ji Yunshu asked,

"Sir, may I ask what this place is? Why is such a large mansion uninhabited? Also, shouldn't the surrounding streets be full of people? Where have they all gone? The houses all look dark. It's only just nightfall; surely they're all asleep?"
