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

As night fell, the exile team saw a village by the road, and Zhong Wei decided to settle there.

This is a village that has been abandoned for a long time. The houses in the village are thatched houses and dilapidated.

But even so, many houses were occupied by refugees and it was noisy.

The exile team walked slowly inward, but near the center of the village, they were blocked by a row of walls.

In the middle of the wall is a gate, with several men with fierce faces guarding the door like a city guard.

It turns out that there is a deep well in the center of the village, which is a rare water source nearby.

The refugees who arrived first united and formed a team of several hundred people, making a living by selling water from deep wells.

Perhaps conflicts over water sources occurred from time to time, and the land near the wall was soaked with blood, exuding an unpleasant smell of blood.

A refugee in ragged clothes was tremblingly taking out his money bag, counting out two copper coins, and handing them to the man guarding the gate together with a bamboo tube.

After the man checked the money, he put the bamboo tube into a hanging basket on the side. Someone pulled up the hanging basket on the wall, took off the bamboo tube and disappeared.

Seeing the exile team, the big man guarding the gate tensed up instantly and pulled the bell hanging on the city wall.

Soon, many figures appeared on the city wall, each holding a torch and staring at the people under the wall with unkind eyes.

After some negotiations, General Zhong Wei exchanged two taels of silver for the water the entire team needed for the night and tomorrow morning, and then passed through their living area and stayed at the end of the village.

One tael of silver is equivalent to a thousand copper plates, which can avoid unnecessary fighting for robbery, and neither party will suffer a loss.

The end of the village was dark, without any candlelight. The Qin family's shadow guards lit the prepared torches to illuminate the way forward.

After the officers and soldiers investigated, they assigned the best courtyard to the Qin family. However, even so, it was still a thatched house with air leakage everywhere.

Su Yunwan frowned frequently as she looked at the dirty yard.

As soon as I stepped into the main room, I saw that the tables, chairs, wooden beds and other furniture were covered with thick dust. There were spider webs hanging on the beams and corners of the room that were swayed by the wind.

Qin Junyi apologized: "Wan Wan, the conditions here are too bad, so I have to make do with you for one night."

"Clean up first." Su Yunwan took out the basin, water, feather duster and other items directly from the space.

Wu Shaohan immediately took action and said: "Master and Madam, please wait outside the house for a while and allow your subordinates to finish cleaning before entering the house to avoid being contaminated by dust."

Qin Junyi nodded: "That's fine."

As soon as he and Su Yunwan walked out of the house, they saw Qin Mu carrying a basin of water and Shi Er holding a broom, walking over together.

Seeing that Wu Shaohan was already busy in the room, they immediately joined in.

Regarding the items that suddenly appeared in the house, Shi Er's eyes flickered, and his thoughts drifted to the mountain elves and wild monsters.

It is said that the female seductress sucks the man's yang energy, but the master doesn't look like he has lost his energy at all. Instead, he is more lively and energetic, which is strange and strange...

Not long after, the house was cleaned, and Wu Shaohan walked out to report.

Su Yunwan was about to enter the house when she saw someone knocking on the courtyard door. It was Jiang Xiaoliu leading Mrs. Pei.

As soon as Mrs. Pei saw Qin Junyi, she said anxiously: "Brother Yi, is Lan Lan sick? Mom, come and see her."

Nowadays, there is a lot of buzz about the epidemic in the team, and the news of Qin Ruolan's illness spread quickly.

Mrs. Pei was shocked when she heard this. While she was worried about her daughter, a strong desire arose in her heart.

If I could take the opportunity to return to the Qin family...

Wealth is sought in danger, and with this huge temptation, she is willing to risk her life and go to the Qin family to visit her daughter.

It's just that the motorcade was traveling at a fast pace and would not stop for her alone. It was only now that it had the chance to stop.

All the prisoners were guarded by officers and soldiers. Since Pei was staying with the female prisoners, she naturally couldn't go out whenever she wanted, so she asked Jiang Xiaoliu to accompany her.

Qin Junyi was surprised by her coming. After all, she cherished her life the most, "Aren't you afraid of catching the epidemic?"

"Compared with those things, I'm even more worried about your sister." Mrs. Pei put on a motherly face.

Qin Junyi nodded thoughtfully and asked someone to take her to find Qin Ruolan.

Mrs. Pei walked to the side room in the backyard and saw the man who was cleaning the house with his back turned. Tears streamed down his face, "Brother Xian, is that you?"

"Mom, it's me." Qin Junxian turned around and called out with complicated emotions.

Mrs. Pei took his arm and looked up and down. When she saw how thin he was, she cried heartbrokenly: "My son, you have suffered... It's my mother's fault. It's my mother's fault." You..."

Qin Ruolan, who was sitting on the chair, looked at them, tears welling up in her eyes.

Aunt Fang, who was cleaning together, put down the rag and silently exited the room.

In the room, Qin Junxian's eyes were red and he said comfortingly: "It's all over."

After a long time, Mrs. Pei calmed down and sat in front of Qin Ruolan, "Lanlan, how is your health? Mom will take care of you, okay?"

Qin Ruolan wiped away the tears that came from her eyes and asked the same thing as Qin Junyi: "Aren't you afraid that I will infect you?"

Mrs. Pei complained: "Silly boy, you are a piece of my mother's heart. How can I stand by and watch!"

However, Qin Ruolan has gone through many ups and downs, and is no longer the innocent eldest daughter of the palace in the past. She glanced at Qin Junxian and asked: "What about the second brother? Shouldn't he be your favorite? How did you make him Where is the person who took the blame for you?"

Qin Junyi did not hide the reason and whereabouts of Qin Junxian's departure from Qin Ruolan. Because of this, Qin Ruolan's love for her mother turned into hatred.

This time when Mrs. Pei came to visit her, she just thought it was because he was pretending to seize the opportunity to return to the Qin family.

Faced with her question, Mrs. Pei was so stunned that she couldn't speak. After a long time, she choked up and said, "Mom, I thought your eldest brother wouldn't do anything to you..."

Qin Ruolan interrupted her and said sarcastically: "Why do you think so? My eldest brother has even given up the relationship between mother and son, what else can't be done?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Junxian scolded: "Lan Lan! Don't be rude to your elder brother!"

Qin Ruolan rolled her eyes and attacked Pei like a knife: "Look, the second brother you always valued is also on the side of the eldest brother. It is absolutely impossible to make a comeback. I advise you to die. Take it easy."

"Lan Lan, what are you talking about! Your second brother and your eldest brother have a deep love for each other. It's too late for my mother to be happy. You can't talk about overturning the situation!" Mrs. Pei became angry and defended, "It's all over the palms of the hands and the backs of the hands. Meat, mother only hopes that all three of you brothers and sisters will be fine."

Qin Ruolan's eyes stared straight at Mr. Pei, with a hint of ridicule in her voice: "Really? Why does the sun come out from the west!"

Mrs. Pei finally couldn't bear the anger in her heart and said angrily: "It's up to you whether you believe it or not!"

Immediately, she looked at Qin Junxian: "Brother Xian, what mother said is true. From now on, if you listen carefully to your elder brother, mother will also be kind to your elder brother."
