My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 15 is completely outrageous!
Meanwhile, Xie Rui walked quite a distance before suddenly turning to look at his attendant beside him. "Bai Song, did my cousin used to smile when she saw me?"

Bai Song shook his head quite honestly, "No, Miss Biao used to not dare to raise her head even slightly when she saw the young master, let alone laugh."

"You find it strange too, don't you?" Xie Rui smiled meaningfully. "My little cousin seems to have changed a lot since I last saw her..."

*
"Daughter, do you think that Young Master Xie suspects anything about us? How did I react?"

Xin Nian glanced at her mother and gave a fair answer, "Their performance was so-so. Xie Rui is very clever. I saw the little expression on his face when he left, tsk tsk, he must be suspicious of us."

Xin Nian shrugged, hands behind her back. "But doubting is useless. We didn't disguise ourselves or change people. From head to toe, we're still the same as before. Who outsiders can know about changes in our souls?"

"It's all that damned father of the original owner's, he actually beat your mother to death. Otherwise, we wouldn't have ended up here..." Xie Ninglan paused, "Oh right, daughter, what happened to your original owner?"

This question really stumped Xin Nian. She hadn't thought about this since she transmigrated. Her parents had both fainted during the day their house was raided, which gave Xie Ninglan and her husband the opportunity to come here.

How did she get here?
The original owner of this body must have fainted as well, because she clearly remembered that when she opened her eyes, she was in prison, followed by a series of messy events such as the annulment of the engagement and the journey.

Wait, annul the engagement?
Xin Nian turned her head and exchanged a glance with her mother, her intelligent eyes flashing. "Could it be that the original owner of this body died of anger because she was jilted by that young master of the Marquis of Lin'an's mansion?"

"What?" Xie Ninglan was shocked.

Seeing her daughter's serious expression, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure?"

"Probably, or maybe he was scared to death because of the confiscation of his property and exile?" Xin Nian also felt that this matter was far-fetched.

"But I feel that it's more likely that she died of anger. I remember Xin Ruoyu comforted me yesterday and told me to relax. That young lady must have died of anger and shame because of the broken engagement."

Xie Ninglan stared wide-eyed for a long while, "Daughter, you can't do this. We women shouldn't be so hot-tempered..."

"Of course I know. I won't get angry if others make me angry; if I get angry to death, no one can take my place."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes." Xie Ninglan nodded repeatedly, holding her little girl's arm. "That's the right mindset. Learn from those bad guys, they never fight amongst themselves, even their farts and shits smell good. Bad guys usually wear others down!"

Xin Nian couldn't help but laugh. She felt that her mother's expression was so funny when she said this, it was like she was possessed by a villain.

"Ah, the original owner of this body was also pitiful. She was so young and hadn't experienced much. She was confined to her room every day, and then suddenly she was exiled and her engagement was broken off. It's understandable that she couldn't think straight."

Xie Ninglan sighed, and when she looked up, she saw the old escort rubbing his hands and smiling as he approached, "Fourth Madam and Sixth Miss, are you done with your business?"

Xie Ninglan politely clenched her fist and bowed to him, saying, "Thank you for your care, Officer Zhang."

"Of course, of course." The old escort glanced at the basket Xin Nian was carrying, and chuckled with a hidden barb. "Is this all the stuff you have? Is it really worth the young master of the Ministry of Rites making this trip in person?"

Xin Nian's smile was bright, and her voice was soft and sweet, making people completely unguarded.

"We have a lot of stuff, but our cart is already full, and we can't fit any more. So we had to ask my cousin to take most of the stuff back with us."

"My cousin said that when we get to Heng County, he'll have someone send us some more things, just in case." The young girl gave the old escort officer a shy smile. "We'll have to trouble you again, Zhang." "Oh, no trouble at all, it's just a small favor. If Young Master Xie comes over, just let him know." The old escort officer grinned, revealing a set of yellow teeth.

This is no trouble at all, it's practically a money-giving gift! Every time the Xie family comes to deliver something, they also give a lot of silver along with it. Liang Tou and the others all receive it, and they're overjoyed, so why would they complain?

Xin Nian smiled and said, "Then we'll head over there first."

"Very well." The old escort smiled as he watched the two leave, rubbed his chin, and clicked his tongue. "I must say, the young lady from the Duke's mansion is indeed quite beautiful."

Xie Ninglan caught a glimpse of the old man still staring at them out of the corner of her eye, and felt utterly disgusted. She couldn't help but complain, "Daughter, why are you smiling so sweetly at that old lecher? That old scoundrel, with his dog-headed, pig-faced appearance, dares to look at you like that? I wish I could whip him with a rattan cane."

"It's alright. In a couple of days, once we're out of Beijing and far away, we'll figure out a way to kill them one by one." The girl's voice was sweet, but her words were more ruthless than those of a wild beast.

"Yes, they dare to try to squeeze money out of us. We should kill them eight hundred times over."

As the two were talking, Dali rushed over. Seeing that they were unharmed, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Madam, Miss, you've been gone for so long. Fourth Master was worried something might have happened to you."

"I was stopped and questioned several times by that escort surnamed Zhang just now. It was a bit scary. My heart is still pounding." Xin Nian patted her chest with a few fingers, putting on a delicate and fragile appearance.

Dali rushed forward to support her, his eyes full of worry, "Miss, from now on, you must take me with you wherever you go, don't go too far."

"Mmm, mmm." The little girl nodded her head obediently.

Xie Ninglan's lips drooped; she really couldn't bear to look at her own daughter.

"Let's go back, the team is ready to depart."

Seeing his wife and daughter return safely, Xin Wenyuan quickly squeezed next to them and whispered, "Let's start lunchtime today and give Mom a share. My third brother has been glaring at me the whole way, like I've committed some heinous crime."

“Hey, people in ancient times valued filial piety. Yesterday, we ate and drank like that, oblivious to everyone else. To others, that would probably be considered extremely unfilial! We can ignore others, but ignoring our mother is a bit much…”

Xie Ninglan nodded, "Okay, but what if your whole family, young and old, gets their food? We don't have much food on hand, and we can't feed so many people."

Xin Wenyuan waved his hand, "Just give my mother a portion of food. How she distributes it is her own business. If she likes to go hungry and act as a philanthropist to feed others, that's none of our business."

The group emerged from the small post station as dawn was breaking.

A group of people dragged their handcuffs and shackles, whining and crying, which annoyed the escorting guards. The guards impatiently lashed them a few times, and the crying stopped immediately.

"Hurry up, all of you! We need to get to Huai Shu Po, thirty miles away, before noon today, so we can walk less and suffer less this afternoon."

"The days will get hotter and hotter from now on. If you travel more in the first half of the day, you can relax in the second half. This is for your own good! Cheer up!"
