My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

Qin Ruoshan accidentally saw the wild ginseng in Su Yunwan's hand. She had never seen such an excellent appearance before and couldn't help but exclaimed. After she realized it, she quickly covered her mouth for fear of attracting other people's attention.

But the Qin family nearby couldn't hide it. Seeing Qin Ruoshan so surprised, they couldn't help but come forward to take a look.

Seeing this, everyone took a breath.

The well-informed mother of Qin immediately whispered: "Don't make it public, lest you be guilty of having a jade and cause trouble."

Several people responded "Yes", and Pei stretched out his hand, "Where did this come from?"

Su Yunwan closed the leaves to cover the ginseng, and said lightly: "It was picked in the mountains."

"Just for the morning meal?" Qin's mother asked.

After getting the affirmative answer, Qin's mother felt regretful.

At that time, Su Yunwan had not returned for a long time, which caused Brother Yi to mobilize all his troops to look for her. As a result, Yiyi had no place in the Qin family. She made a mark on Su Yunwan in her heart.

Because of this, she would be stubborn about the disagreement over the afternoon tea to relieve the heat, and would not hesitate to break the harmonious coexistence that had been maintained.

It seemed that she was about to re-evaluate Su Yunwan's value.

"This can be sold for a lot of money!" Ms. Pei thought in her mind. After selling the ginseng and getting some silver, she could regain the power of the family!

Qin's mother nodded: "Based on the ginseng purchased by the palace in the past, it can be worth thousands of taels."

After hearing this, Mrs. Pei felt that all the blood in her body rushed to her brain. She was so excited that she held her daughter's hand tightly, as if she saw white money flying towards her.

The next second, a basin of ice water was poured down on his head, chilling his heart.

"This is for the prince. No matter how much money you pay, I won't sell it." Su Yunwan put it into the vine basket, broke off a branch and stuffed it into the belly of the stove.

Mrs. Pei urged: "Brother Yi doesn't need so much, you can just sell half of it. It's still a long way to go. Our family doesn't have enough money at all!"

"Even if it is sold, it will still be my private money. With the meals provided by the official servants, I will not starve to death even if I have no money." Su Yunwan guessed her plan and found it ridiculous.

"With such a large amount of income, at least half must be paid to the public school. And the food for official servants is small and unpalatable, so it is not enough..."

No matter how much Mrs. Pei complained, Su Yunwan turned a deaf ear. Finally, seeing that this was a dead end, Mrs. Pei came up with the same idea: "Everyone is suffering from serious health problems. Please cook more ginseng soup to replenish everyone's health."

After saying that, she looked at Qin Junyi: "Brother Yi, you won't object, right?"

"It doesn't matter whether he objects or not, but you, why don't you understand the principle that everything has its own owner?" Su Yunwan's cold eyes were filled with doubts, "Are you the prince's biological mother when you are fighting for medicine for your seriously injured son? "

"What nonsense are you talking about! Brother Yi is of course my biological son. Brother Yi, do you deny your mother? You are such a traitor..." Mrs. Pei was poked at a sore point, but she knew that there was nothing she could do about Su Yunwan. , pointed the muzzle directly at Qin Junyi.

Qin Junyi, who was lying on the cart, stared straight into the night, hiding his inner grief.

"Come on! Mrs. Pei, since you are so filial, come and replace Mrs. Lin and come and give me a back rub. This ride in the donkey cart will still cause backache." Mother Qin did not want her to insult her eldest grandson, which once again came into play. .

She secretly cursed Mr. Pei for being short-sighted. Su Yunwan could find ginseng today and other precious medicinal materials in the future. When the money runs out one day, she will be able to earn money to support her family by collecting medicines. How can she only focus on this little profit in front of her?

Besides, no one can compete with her eldest grandson for medicine!

Mrs. Pei was vomiting blood in her heart. She walked halfway without saying she was in pain. Her mother-in-law was riding in a donkey cart the whole way, so how could she have the nerve to say she felt uncomfortable!

But she only dared to slander her in her mind, walked hesitantly to the side with Qin's mother, squatted behind Qin's mother who was sitting on the floor, and knocked her on the back.

"What do you mean by squatting? Please behave yourself!" Qin's mother yelled angrily.

Ms. Pei had no choice but to sit on the uneven grass containing sand and gravel with her knees touching the ground.

Lin, who had been kneeling on the ground to serve Qin's mother for a long time, was freed to light the fire with her daughter Qin Ruoshan.

From an angle that Mother Qin couldn't see, Qin Ruoshan gently rubbed Mrs. Lin's knees and calves.

Qin's mother attaches great importance to etiquette. Even though this is the road to exile, she will find fault with the posture of the female family members from time to time and make them sit on their knees.

And once you kneel and sit for a long time, your knees and calves will hurt terribly, which makes it worse.

Other prisoners could sit on the floor and rest as they pleased, but if Qin's mother was in a bad mood, it would be another kind of torture for the female family members of the Qin family.

Qin Junyi once tried to persuade her tactfully, but Qin's mother not only refused to listen, but also scolded her on the grounds that "rituals cannot be discarded" and almost dragged the men into trouble.

Of course, she also knows that things are different now. If she is working hard, she will be more generous. This is one of the reasons why Qin Ruoshan actively participates in cooking.

Su Yunwan had been through the apocalypse and was no longer used to kneeling and sitting, so she naturally did whatever was comfortable for her.

Qin's mother couldn't see it, but she was smarter than Mr. Pei. Knowing that she would bring trouble if she reprimanded her, she simply turned her head and turned her back.

In fact, Qin's mother's thoughts are relatively conservative and she values ​​the eldest son. As long as Mrs. Pei doesn't blame Qin Junyi, Qin's mother will treat her leniently as the eldest daughter-in-law, and will not deliberately set rules for her. She will only let her concubine daughter-in-law Lin take care of her.

However, Mrs. Pei was accustomed to suppressing and controlling Qin Junyi as a mother. Even though she was repeatedly taught by her mother-in-law, she could not help but touch Qin's mother.

Now Pei's calf was sore, numb, and swollen, but she could only endure the discomfort, not daring to show any signs of neglect, and carefully serve Qin's mother.

After burning incense, the father and son of Sifang and Qin Junxian came back from the stream. Pei hurriedly said: "Mother, my daughter-in-law, please go and help in front of the stove."

Seeing that she was showing her sincerity, Qin's mother let her go: "Go ahead."

She used kneeling as a means of control and discipline. Although it was not as good as the family law, it was even more painful.

As for Mother Qin herself at the top of the pyramid, of course she can sit wherever she wants, and no one dares to say otherwise.

Qin Junxian felt a pain in his heart when he saw his mother being disciplined by his grandmother again. His mother must have scolded his eldest brother again.

He looked at his mother helplessly and concentrated on handling the ingredients neatly.

Mrs. Pei understood the look in her younger son's eyes, but she felt resentful towards her eldest son, blaming him for not interceding for him.

She was completely unaware that she was the one to blame for all this.

For as long as Qin Junyi can remember, he has been punished every once in a while. Qin's mother ordered him to kneel down and be beaten with a stick in various ways. He even closed the door and asked her nurse to inflict acupuncture that left almost no trace but was extremely painful.

However, the old prince only saw the punishment on the surface. Instead of caring for him, he used it to sharpen his son's physical temperament and cultivate his perseverance.

In the entire Qin family, only Qin's mother truly cared for him. However, Qin's mother's restraint and control over the Pei family resulted in a more severe lynching.

After Qin's mother tried both hard and soft methods to no avail, she had no choice but to propose that her eldest grandson should be raised by her side. But when the old prince saw that Qin's mother had already abandoned his third brother, how could he let his eldest son follow in his footsteps?

Not only did he not agree to Qin's mother, he also scolded Qin Junyi for being coquettish and threw the young Qin Junyi into the Yin Guard Camp for cruel training. He did not take him home until he exceeded his quota in various assessments.

However, Qin Junyi's situation did not improve at all after his return. He had already developed an unyielding temperament. No matter how painful it was, he was unwilling to surrender and beg for mercy, which made Pei even more crazy and wantonly abuse him.

Even so, the physical pain was far less than the mental trauma, and Qin Junyi also transferred his admiration to his grandmother.

It's just that Qin's mother was defeated in the confrontation with her eldest son and even harmed her eldest grandson. She no longer dared to arbitrarily interfere with her son and daughter-in-law's discipline of Qin Junyi, and could only take care of her in daily life such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.

It wasn't until her eldest son's corpse was returned to his body six years ago that there was no one to restrain him, and Qin's mother took full control of the Qin Palace. Qin Junyi had been away on an expedition for many years, and Qin's mother often sent people to deliver letters and supplies, and she never stopped caring about him.

One is a strict mother, and the other is a kind grandmother. When the grandmother wants to set rules, Qin Junyi, who is not stupid and filial, will naturally not easily damage the majesty of the grandmother.

What's more, it is a mother's duty to serve her grandmother, and he has nothing to say about it.

If Mr. Pei knew about his idea, he would definitely be pissed to death by this large double standard.
