Seeing her hesitation, Ji Luo smiled and said, “The Xuanyuan family owes you. If they give it to you, just accept it. If they don’t, we don’t care.”

Empress Dowager Zhou had sent so many things with great fanfare. The meaning was clearly different from the few trinkets she had gotten someone to give her in the palace last time.

Shen Yijia gritted her teeth. “I’m a principled person. I definitely won’t bend over for such a small benefit.”

Seeing her carrying the large wooden boxes onto the carriage one by one with a pained expression, Ji Luo asked teasingly, “Aren’t you going to take a look at what’s inside?”

Shen Yijia shook her head without thinking. “I don’t want to see it.”

Since she had to send it back anyway, she couldn’t bear to see it.

Ji Luo was amused by her.

There were too many things for a single carriage. Shen Yijia simply removed the carriage and replaced it with a new board.

The eight large wooden boxes were stacked and placed on two layers. They were then secured with a hemp rope.

MO Yuan drove the carriage while Shen Yijia sat beside her.

“Mother, we’ll be off.”

Ji Luo nodded and said, “Come back early.”

The carriage clattered towards the inner city. In just a few days, the people on the streets had returned to their former prosperity. There were no longer any traces of the plague.

As they entered Yongding Street, a team came towards them.

In front of the team were four bailiffs on horses, and behind them was a prison cart. Sitting in the prison cart was a prisoner in prison clothes. Her hands and feet were shackled, and her hair was disheveled.

Perhaps because they recognized her, the other party took the initiative to stop and let her carriage pass first.

Shen Yijia glanced at the spacious road and thought to herself, “There’s no need.”

She was not interested in the prisoner. Unexpectedly, just as the two sides brushed past each other, the person who had been quietly curled up in a corner of the prison cart suddenly pounced in her direction. “Behave yourself,” the bailiff scolded sternly.

Shen Yijia looked over and was stunned.

She grabbed the wooden railing of the prison carriage with both hands and glared at her resentfully. Who else could it be but Xuanyuan Ye?

To be precise, it should be called Jiang Ye now.

At first, Xuanyuan Qi only demoted her to a commoner. When Eunuch Yu brought the imperial physician to explain about how she wrote a letter using the ink mixed with the blood of plague patients, Xuanyuan Qi was furious and deprived her of her surname.

She was supposed to be sentenced to death for plotting to murder the empress dowager of the current dynasty. In the end, Empress Dowager Zhou softened her heart and got someone to send a message to the emperor, so the sentence of death was changed to exile.

“It’s you. It’s all your fault.” Jiang Ye glared at her.

How strange!

Shen Yijia retracted her gaze indifferently and ignored her.

Perhaps angered by her reaction, Jiang Ye scolded, “B*tch, you harmed me and my mother. You’ll definitely suffer retribution. I curse you and everyone you care about to have a bad end...’

The bailiff’s whip hit the cage, inevitably hitting Jiang Ye’s hand that was holding the wooden railing. It was so painful that she retracted her hand, but she did not stop cursing.

Jiang Ye always felt that if Shen Yijia and Ji Luo did not appear, her mother would not have angered Xuanyuan Ce in order to get rid of them. Her secrets would not have been exposed, let alone what happened after that.

Without those things, she would always be that high and mighty princess.

Shen Yijia tugged at MO Yuan’s sleeve and gestured for her to stop the car. She said coldly, “Didn’t you and your mother deserve this outcome? Did I ask your mother to harm that scumbag? Or did I ask you to harm the old woman?”

“Oh, not only did your mother almost kill the scumbag, but she also secretly gave birth to you.”

More and more commoners gathered around and whispered to each other. They looked at Jiang Ye with disgust.

“What a shameless bastard.”

“That’s right. The Empress Dowager dotes on her so much, but she still did such a vicious thing. Isn’t she an ingrate?”

“Don’t insult an ingrate. She’s worse than an animal. Pfft.”

“Shut up, all of you.” Jiang Ye’s eyes turned red with anger as she roared at the people around her.

She suddenly thought of something and smiled proudly at Shen Yijia. “Do you think that if I leave, you can take my place in Imperial Grandmother’s heart and enjoy her love? You’re delusional.”

“You definitely can’t figure out why I was able to leave Phoenix City alive, right? It’s because Grandmother couldn’t bear it. Just watch. When her anger subsides in a few years, she will definitely send someone to pick me up. You can never replace me.” nov)elu-sb)C/0/m

No one noticed that after she finished speaking, the four bailiffs had strange expressions.

They were personally appointed by the emperor!

Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. She made it sound like she cherished that old woman..
