Exile at the start? Milkball filming, hoarding billions of resources

Shen Zhaoning was stunned.

She never imagined that Xiaoman's obsession with food was actually because she wanted to protect everyone.

Shen Zhaoning took the pillow with a guilty look and gently rubbed Xiaoman's head.

"I'm sorry, Brother Xiaoman, I didn't know..."

"Did it hurt you?"

Xiaoman shook his head and gave Shen Zhaoning a bright smile.

"It's okay, you're my sister, how could I blame you?"

Xiaoman's magnanimity made Shen Zhaoning feel even more ashamed.

Seeing this, Xiaoman came over with a smile.

"Just give me half of your breakfast."

Shen Zhaoning's guilt instantly turned into anger.

"Shen Yi! You big liar, all you ever do is lie to me!"

Xiaoman begged for mercy repeatedly.

"No, I just really want to grow up quickly."

Shen Zhaoning picked up a pillow and threw it at Xiaoman.

Just then, the door opened, and Hua Zhuyue came in carrying a basin of water, only to be hit squarely on the head by a pillow.

Shen Zhaoning's pillow fell into the basin and instantly became heavy.

Shen Zhaoning and Xiaoman immediately sat down obediently.

Hua Zhuyue pulled Shen Zhaoning's pillow out and said irritably.

"She wakes up and makes a fuss, and doesn't even bother to get up and wash."

She held the two little ones and washed their faces and hands.

Shen Zhaoning gave Hua Zhuyue an extremely cute smile.

"Grandmother, what have you thought about what I told you yesterday?"

Hua Zhuyue remained silent with a sullen face, wiping her face with a handkerchief.

Shen Zhaoning immediately wilted.

Judging from Grandmother's condition, it seems she's not going to make it.

Oh dear! Luckily, I didn't make any promises to my second aunt yesterday, otherwise she would have been disappointed.

During the meal, Shen Zhaoning seemed rather listless.

Shen Yu looked at Shen Zhaoning with some concern.

"Tuantuan, are you feeling unwell?"

Xiaoman muttered softly.

"All I did was ask you to share half of your breakfast with me. Is it really that big of a deal?"

Shen Yu's fist hardened as he listened to Xiao Man's words.

"Just ask for whatever you want to eat. Do you think you can be shortchanged? Why are you teasing Tuantuan?"

Hua Zhuyue spoke seriously.

"Alright, stop fooling around."

"I'd like to say a few words."

Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked at Hua Zhuyue.

Hua Zhuyue's gaze swept across everyone's faces, finally settling on Qin Su's face.

"Now that our in-laws are in trouble, our Shen family cannot stand idly by. Therefore, I plan to donate the household expenses you have handed over to the Su family in the past few days."

"Furthermore... if any of you want to go and help, to fight the enemy, I will not stop you."

Qin Su could hardly believe her ears.

"Mother, do you mean I can go to the battlefield too?"

"But what will happen to our families if everyone goes to the battlefield?"

Hua Zhuyue looked at her second daughter-in-law's undisguised joy and felt a pang of bitterness in her voice.

"So what! I'm just old, not disabled! Surely I can take care of a few kids!"

Shen Zhaoning spoke weakly.

"I...I'm easy to take care of."

I just don't know if Xiaoman will be easy to take care of.

He eats so much, his grandmother will probably be exhausted in the kitchen.

Noticing Shen Zhaoning's gaze, Xiaoman's face immediately turned red.

He strained his neck to defend himself.

"I'm easy to take care of too."

"No, I don't need anyone to take care of me, I want to go to the battlefield too!"

Hua Zhuyue's forehead veins throbbed.

"Nonsense!"

"You're so small, not even as tall as a horse's leg. You'd be hacked to pieces on the battlefield!"

Shen Yu stood up defiantly and did a somersault with one hand.

He climbed all the way from the main hall to the courtyard, picked up a clothesline by the wall, and then performed a set of sword techniques with great skill and flair.

Although it is a wooden pole, it is imposing, fierce, and full of murderous intent.

Sweat soon appeared on his nose and forehead, but his eyes grew brighter and his body became lighter and lighter.

Qin Su stood to the side and couldn't help but applaud.

"good!"

He perfectly inherited the martial arts skills of the Shen and Qin families.

Despite his young age, he has already shown amazing talent.

If properly nurtured, he will surely become a powerful figure in the future.

This made Hua Zhuyue both gratified and reluctant to part.

After Xiaoman finished performing a set of sword techniques, she suddenly flipped over in front of Hua Zhuyue and knelt at Hua Zhuyue's feet.

"Grandmother, you see, I did not act on impulse. Please grant my request."

It was rare to see her grandson so serious, but Hua Zhuyue couldn't feel happy at all.

Hua Zhuyue, however, couldn't feel happy at all.

She couldn't help but shed tears.

"Yu-ge'er has to help his grandfather, there's no way to avoid it, but you're different. You're still so young, why are you getting involved?"

"If you want to go to the battlefield, then study martial arts and military strategy properly. It's not too late to go to the battlefield when you're older! Why rush it!"

Xiaoman spoke up.

"But... I want to go to the battlefield with my mother and protect her."

Qin Su was initially moved, but then became annoyed.

She pinched Xiaoman's ear.

"Who do you think you are? I don't need your protection!"

Xiaoman screamed as she was being pulled.

"Mother...Mother, be gentle!"

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was that I was worried about my mother."

Xiaoman's pleas for mercy did not appease Qin Su; instead, she pinched him even harder.

Hua Zhuyue sighed, waved her hand, and signaled Qin Su to let go.

Qin Su then clicked her tongue and let go of her hand.

She slumped into a chair, her eyes weary.

"Fine, go if you want."

"However, you must remember one thing: once you are on the battlefield, you will no longer be yourselves. You will represent yourselves and the face of the entire Shen family."

"The Shen family members can only die in battle; they must never desert their posts."

Xiaoman happily got up.

"Thank you, Grandmother. Don't worry, Grandmother, I promise I won't let the Shen family down."

The courtyard was filled with laughter, a scene of harmony and joy.

Shen Zhaoning smiled, but felt inexplicably sad inside.

She thought she would have some more easy days, but she didn't expect the separation to come so quickly.

My uncle was busy recruiting soldiers in Guanyang when the imperial army arrived.

That's incredibly fast.

Su Shaoqing shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Normally, memorials from various prefectures and counties are sent to the capital, pleading with His Majesty to issue an edict for disaster relief. However, His Majesty turns a deaf ear and ignores them, allowing the disaster to spread."

"I thought it was because the distance was too far and His Majesty couldn't react in time, but now it seems that's not the case."

"It's just that His Majesty doesn't want to get involved."

Lu Yu stroked his beard, his face full of resentment.

"We've all rebelled, how come you still call him 'Your Majesty'? You should learn from me and call him the dog emperor!"

Lu Yu was extremely optimistic.

"We have a strong army and ample supplies, so what are we afraid of? Let's just fight!"

Su Shaoqing sighed.

"I'm not afraid, I just feel sorry for the people."

The imperial court clearly had the ability to provide disaster relief, yet it hesitated to take action.

Countless people died unjustly because of this.

Unfortunately, he was just a minor prefect, and he had already done his best to protect the land and water of Guanyang. He simply had no time to care about others.

The court sent a young general, who was quite arrogant despite his young age. He not only showed no fear of Su Yuanqiao but also spoke rudely to him.

"You old scoundrel, if you know what's good for you, kneel down and surrender, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, I'll tear your entire Su family to pieces!"
