Chapter 134 You broke off your relationship with Lan Mao
Shen Ruolan nodded and said, "I roughly guessed who leaked my information."
Apart from Mu Jinxuan and his servant, there was no one else who could convey her news to the State of Yan in such a short time.
"Who is it?" Shen Qi paused and continued, "Tell me quickly, and I will go to his house to thank him in person later."
If it weren't for the person who delivered the message, he probably would never have found any news about his daughter in his lifetime.
Shen Qi's words left Shen Ruolan speechless. She replied vaguely, "I'll tell grandpa when we meet again in the future."
After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she quickly complained in her heart, "No need to see you again, it would be best if we never see each other again in this life."
Seeing that Shen Ruolan didn't want to talk, Shen Qi didn't ask any more questions. He just said to her, "Since you don't want to go to Yan State, I will go to the capital of Beiming first, and then come back here to celebrate the New Year with the three of us."
Shen Ruolan hesitated for a moment and said to Shen Qi, "Grandpa, it's winter now, it's not suitable to travel. We should wait until next spring when the weather gets warmer before going to the capital."
The main reason is that Shen Qi is old, and Shen Ruolan doesn't want him to live in the open at this time.
After Shen Qi was silent for a long time, he said to her with a sullen look on his face: "I want to find your mother immediately so that I can avenge her."
Lan Mao, Mrs. Lan, actually tortured his daughter to death, and he would not let anyone go.
Shen Ruolan could understand Shen Qi's feelings. After all, his beloved daughter who had been missing for decades suddenly had news that she was no longer alive. This kind of blow was not something that most people could bear. However, the weather was damp and cold now, which was not suitable for long-distance travel.
After a brief silence, Shen Ruolan said to Shen Qi, "Grandpa, if you really want to go, Ruolan won't stop you, but it's freezing cold along the way, so you have to take good care of yourself."
After she finished speaking, she paused and continued, "Lan Mao is a cunning person. If you go against him, you must be careful. Also, that Madam Lan is not a good person either. You must be careful too."
After Shen Qi heard what his granddaughter said, he nodded and asked, "Lan'er, if I killed your father, would you blame grandpa?"
After Shen Ruolan heard what her grandfather said, she said to him, "Grandpa, wait a minute."
After saying that, she went back to the room, took out the letter of severance, handed it to Shen Qi and said, "Grandpa, take a look."
Shen Qi looked at his granddaughter in confusion, then opened the paper she held out and saw the words "severance letter" in large letters. After reading the contents, he looked at his granddaughter and asked, "Have you severed your relationship with Lan Mao?"
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel upset in his heart. What kind of father could force a child into such a desperate situation?
The granddaughter in front of him was gentle and well-behaved. If she had not been forced to live, she would never have done such a rebellious thing. He could now fully imagine the scene of his daughter and granddaughter being tortured by Lan Mao and his wife.
Shen Ruolan nodded to her grandfather and said, "Yes."
After she finished speaking, she told Shen Qi about her original experience in Prime Minister Lan's mansion, as well as the miscarriage she had when she traveled through time. She then said to Shen Qi, "Grandpa, I have never enjoyed any treatment that a member of the Lan family should have since I was a child in the Lan mansion, so after I got married, I didn't want to be a pawn of the Lan family, especially after I had a miscarriage. I didn't want to have anything to do with them. I was afraid of following in my mother's footsteps, so I used the power of Prince Han to sever my relationship with him."
After Shen Qi heard about Shen Ruolan's experience, he felt extremely distressed. He put his arm around Shen Ruolan's shoulders and comforted her, "Lan'er, you did the right thing. A man who is worse than pigs and dogs is not worthy of being your father. Don't worry, this time, Grandpa will definitely help you vent your anger."
Shen Ruolan came out of the old man's arms and smiled at him, "Grandpa, I'm fine now. You have to be careful when facing him."
"Yeah," Shen Qi responded.
After the grandparents and grandchildren chatted about some other things, Shen Ruolan went to help Shen Qi prepare dry food for the journey.
The next morning, after having breakfast, Shen Qi took turns holding the two little ones, then said goodbye to Shen Ruolan and left.
After Shen Qi left, Shen Ruolan also arranged for people to prepare the luggage. Now that the weather has cleared up, Ji Han and the others will be back in a few days, and then she can leave with them.
But before leaving, she wanted to buy some bedding and some vegetable seeds, because the weather was getting colder and these things were indispensable for bedding.
After a brief silence, Shen Ruolan thought that all the people she could use had been sent to Nanshan. She found Ji Ning and ordered, "Ji Ning, go find Village Chief Wu."
"Yes, master." After Ji Ning finished speaking, he walked towards the center of the village.
Not long after, Village Chief Wu came to find Shen Ruolan and asked, "Madam Shen, what do you want from me?"
Shen Ruolan poured a cup of hot water, handed it to Village Chief Wu and said, "Uncle Wu, please drink some water."
"Oh, thank you, Madam Shen." Village Chief Wu took the water and said to Shen Ruolan.
Shen Ruolan sat down opposite Village Chief Wu and said to him, "Uncle Wu, I want to buy some cloth and reed fluff. I asked you to come over to ask if I can buy these things in Cangling City?"
There was no cotton at that time, so everyone used reed fluff to keep warm in the winter, and wealthy families would use animal fur.
When Village Chief Wu heard Shen Ruolan wanted cloth and reed fluff, he was silent for a moment, then told Shen Ruolan truthfully, "Madam Shen, in Cang Ling City, you can usually buy as much cloth as you want, but reed fluff is probably a bit less available. However, the villagers around these reed fluffs have stored quite a bit of it themselves, so I don't know if anyone is willing to sell it."
They have abundant water resources and rich products here. There are a lot of reed flowers growing around the river banks and on the mountains, but since they are not worth much when sold, people mostly keep them for their own use.
After Shen Ruolan heard what Village Chief Wu said, she thought for a moment and said to him, "Uncle Wu, could you please take everyone to the city to buy some cloth for me?"
After she finished speaking, she paused and added, "Don't worry, I won't let you go in vain. I will pay 50 cents to each person who goes with the village chief."
Since they couldn't return from Cangling City on the same day, she paid everyone fifty cents, which was not a lot, but not a small amount either.
Village Chief Wu was very happy to hear that he could earn some more money, but he still said to Shen Ruolan politely, "Madam Shen, you have already given a lot to everyone. Now you need everyone's help, even if you don't pay them."
Shen Ruolan smiled at Village Chief Wu and said, "It's not easy for everyone to make this trip, so this is what everyone deserves."
"Okay, then I'll thank Madam Shen on behalf of everyone." After Village Chief Wu finished speaking, he asked Shen Ruolan, "How much cloth does Madam Shen want to buy?"
