The whole family went into exile when they crossed, and evacuated the Hou's mansion all the way

Even though it was evening, the whole street was covered with lanterns, every shop was open, and the strong smell of fireworks made Lan feel unreal.

Restaurant, inn, restaurant, study room.

The streets are filled with the smell of delicious food.

Looking at the empty city that had not been seen for two months, with the bustling pedestrians and vendors hawking on the streets, Lan opened her mouth slightly. She couldn't believe that this was a city in the wild, and she didn't want to believe that this was actually Yu Luo. City?!

That Yuluo family of three, who were so humble that they were once even inferior to her as a concubine in the Hou Mansion, actually owned such a prosperous city in this desolate land after being exiled? !

And she.

A gust of cold wind blew up, and Lan Shi suddenly shivered. The cold night made her eyes suddenly sore, and her heart felt like a huge stone, which made her breathless.

When I looked up, there were already snowflakes in the sky, which meant that the most painful time in this wild land was about to come.

"Hey, you, aren't you Aunt Lan? Why are you here?!"

Lan Shi was shivering from the cold, sighing at the change of fate, when suddenly a figure rushed past her, but suddenly stopped, turned around and exclaimed in surprise.

The very embarrassed Lan couldn't help but subconsciously hugged her arms and looked up, only to realize that Luocheng was not that big at all. Otherwise, how could she have met an acquaintance after she was released?

"Zhang, second brother Zhang?!"

The person who came was none other than Zhang Yuan's younger brother. We had been together for such a long time, so naturally the Lan family was chosen by others.

Seeing Zhang Xi suddenly appear, she couldn't help but feel a sore nose. When she said "Brother Zhang", she almost choked with sobs.

Zhang Xi heard the sound and hurriedly took a step towards Lan's family. The surprise on his face still did not go away, and he looked Lan's family up and down again.

"Why are you here, still wearing such little clothes? Could it be that they kicked you out like this?"

Zhang Xi only thought of this possibility. Who would have thought that Lan's appearance in Luocheng was because he was imprisoned by Yu Luo?

"Brother Zhang, it's a long story. Do you, do you have anything to eat?"

Lan blinked her eyes like autumn water and looked at Zhang Xi's clothes, a glimmer of hope ignited in her eyes.

Zhang Xi was now wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket. It looked like it was not ripped off from those bandits before. It was brand new.

With Zhang Xi like this, Lan guessed that he was still in Luocheng at this time, so he must be doing well, and he was even more looking forward to it.

"Hey, there is food. Come with me first."

Zhang Xi's eyes were stained with a touch of sadness caused by fate. He sighed and took a step forward to lead the way for Lan.

When Lan saw Zhang Xi's reaction, tears suddenly fell from her eyes, but the smile on her face finally became brighter.

In the backyard of the blacksmith shop, Lan devoured three bowls of white rice porridge, three meat buns, a large plate of vegetables, and a large plate of salt-baked chicken that Zhang Xi had just bought from the street.

A group of rough old men couldn't help but swallowed when they saw the thin and disfigured Lan. They were all shocked by her appetite!

"Aunt Lan, do you want more? There are white-flour steamed buns in the kitchen?"

Zhang Yuan looked at Lan and said calmly. In fact, his heart was filled with ups and downs. It reminded him of the scene when he met Yu Zhengqing and the others again when they were starving and injured.

Being surrounded by so many people for dinner, including a bunch of rough old men, Lan Shi finally realized that she felt uncomfortable.

She put down her chopsticks, shook her head gently, and stood up to salute Zhang Yuan and others.

Unexpectedly, before she could bend her legs, she was hurriedly stopped by a group of juniors. "Aunt Lan doesn't need to be so polite. After all, we are all friends who have suffered together. We were unkind at the beginning, but your husband still didn't leave us. For this reason, it's just a meal, so it's appropriate."

Hearing what Zhang Yuan said, Lan felt even more uncomfortable.

After all, Yu Zhengqing hasn't shown up yet, and she already has a deep resentment towards her husband.

But even so, she couldn't possibly mention it to Zhang Yuan and the others.

Thinking about the changes in Luocheng and where Zhang Yuan and the others lived now, Lan couldn't help but raise his head and look around.

Beside the red-hot stove not far away, the men of the Zhang family were still rolling up their sleeves and forging iron, making clanging sounds, as if they had not stopped at all because of her arrival.

"Brother Zhang, what are you doing?"

"Oh, isn't this Second Young Master Yu's city opened? Inevitably, many people came into the city. With their help, we found a job here. This is better than that in the cave, and it's also I can earn more than working as a long-term laborer for Mr. Yu and his family, so my life can be considered settled."

Lan's!

"You mean, you, you started a business here?"

Lan still didn't want to believe it. After all, she was someone who had endured hardship together. After being imprisoned by Yu Luo and doing hard labor for several months, she was almost tortured to death, but Zhang Yuan and the others were able to resume their free lives. , still lived in such a city and started doing business.

Is this exile?

Are you here to take a break and enjoy the happiness?

Even if I lose the rights I once had in the officialdom, I still live such a free life with no worries about food and clothing, and I am not afraid of the cold in winter. Compared with most ordinary people, this life is thousands of times better, right? !

The shock and the conflict between the two sides made Lan feel even more uncomfortable.

"I see, what about the others?"

Seeing how Lan seemed to know nothing and appeared in Luocheng with such a desolate look, Zhang Yuan also became a little suspicious.

"Didn't everyone except your family come to live in Luocheng? People from the Bai family and Liu family work as teachers in the academy in Yuluo. Their two families also opened two shops in Luocheng. One is a ghostwriter. By the way, One of the shops selling pens, inks, papers and inkstones is a clothing store, and you two and three-room Yu family members also have their own shops here in Luocheng."

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he couldn't help but look up and down Lan's body again, frowning slightly.

"Aunt Lan, why are you doing this? Why are you still here in Luocheng wearing such thin clothes at this time? You seem to have suffered a lot?"

Finally, Zhang Yuan asked his doubts.

When Lan was so jealous that she couldn't digest everyone's changes at once, she was suddenly asked like this. She was even more in a dilemma, not knowing how to talk to Zhang Yuan.

After all, it was because of Yu Luo and his family that Zhang Yuan and the others could live such a life. If Zhang Yuan knew that her current situation was because of Yu Luo, would Zhang Yuan still help her?
