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

"Brother Yi, are you... your body healed?"

At a glance, the old lady recognized her real eldest grandson and stammered words full of meaning.

Qin Junyi stepped forward to hold her arm and said with shame, "Yes, I made my grandmother worried."

Although the old lady already knew this, whenever she thought of the pain that her eldest grandson had suffered, she felt extremely pity in her heart, "Grandma can understand, as long as he gets better."

After saying that, she looked around at her children, grandchildren and female relatives, and said in a stern voice: "Brother Yi has been enduring humiliation and hardship for you. If anyone dares to have any disrespectful thoughts, I will never forgive him lightly!"

"I don't dare." Everyone hurriedly leaned over to express their stance.

Anyone can guess that all of his soul-destroying nails were removed at some point during his exile. After a period of recuperation, he could return to his current state.

However, no one complained about him hiding his physical condition, because as long as he used his brain a little, he would know that he had no choice but to do so.

If the physical condition is leaked, the assassination on the road will definitely become an open killing, or the kind that will not stop until death.

Now it is because of the complete break with Youzhou Mu that he no longer has any scruples.

Seeing Qin Junyi, who was the pillar of support, standing up again, it was too late for them to be happy, so how could they have undue resentment.

However, when the news spread and the Pei mother and daughter knew about it, as the closest relatives in the world, they were full of complaints.

Mrs. Pei stood at the door of the kitchen, staring at the hired peasant woman making breakfast, while complaining to her daughter: "I don't know when your eldest brother will be fine. I have made my mother worry for a long time."

She felt uncomfortable when she thought about the past when she was busy making money and being watched by her eldest son who had already recovered.

Qin Ruolan also said: "Thankfully, I thought my eldest brother was about to die, so I cried bitterly. Now that I think about it, it's really embarrassing."

"His heart is so hard, even you two brothers and sisters kept it in the dark."

"Isn't it?"

......

The mother and daughter share the same hatred. Every word you speak to me expresses the dissatisfaction in your heart, as if you have gone back to the past, and returned to the deep love between mother and daughter before they were punished.

When the peasant woman who was cooking porridge heard this, her mouth twitched vaguely.

Who are these people!

At this time, Qin Junyi had already finished the morning meal with the old lady and was talking to Qian Rong, the accountant of the Qin family.

Qian Rong said worriedly: "Master, the government has issued a food purchase restriction order for us. The people we sent to Linxian County to purchase food were stopped by the checkpoint and were unable to transport the food back. The existing food stock is only enough for today's supply. .”

Before Su Yunwan left, he left a large amount of food behind, so that he could feed tens of thousands of people. Now being cut off from food supply is like being strangled by the neck, which fundamentally limits the development of the Qin family.

Qin Junyi heard Qin Mu mention this matter yesterday. If they could not afford the food for the employees, they planned to convert it into copper coins and let the employees provide two meals a day.

Now that they have returned, Wanwana still has a lot of food in stock, enough to cope with Youzhou Mu's food blockade.

"I will solve this problem, you just need to prepare the money."

Qian Rong presented the account book again: "There has been a lot of consumption in the past few days, and there is not much money left."

Qin Junyi: "..."

He flipped through it casually, handed the account book back to Qian Rong, and asked casually: "Are there any bandits or bandits nearby?"

Qian Rong's face was speechless: "This place is generally poor, and you can't make a living by robbing."

The word "robbery" in this sentence means that the bandits make a living by robbing, and it also means that the masters are taking advantage of others.

Qin Junyi smiled softly: "I will take a few people to go to the mountains. You can support them normally first."

The prince's property was not much to begin with. Part of the property from the northwest was brought by the soldiers, and the bulk of it was left in the hands of his second uncle to deal with matters in the northwest.

I wonder if Second Aunt and the others brought some with them when they came this time.

Although resting on one's laurels is by no means a long-term solution, Qin Junyi never expected that he would face a financial crisis so soon.

After Qin Junyi visited the wounded soldiers, he led a dozen of his subordinates into the mountains carrying dry food and water.

When Su Yunwan woke up, it was already close to noon.

She rubbed her belly, which was singing the empty city plan, and lazily got up and walked out of the house.

"Sister-in-law, are you awake?" Qin Ruoshan had been guarding the hall next door. When she saw her figure, she immediately greeted her.

Su Yunwan already knew about her coming to take care of her, so she said, "You have worked hard these days."

"What's the point? I have nothing to do if I stay at home." Qin Ruoshan said with a smile, "Sit down for a while and I will go to the kitchen to get you some water."

"I'll just go over there, just in time to see what's in the kitchen."

On the way, Su Yunwan asked: "Beiling Village is in dire straits now, is there anything you want to do?"

"Grandma won't let us show up." Qin Ruoshan said disappointedly.

"It doesn't matter, I'll tell grandma."

"I saw that these brothers and cousins ​​from Heaven were so busy that they had no time to touch the ground, so I wanted to do my part and share some of the burden."

Su Yunwan pondered for a moment and said, "The construction site is too messy. Why don't you help Qian Rong with some financial arrangements and logistics."

"Can I?" Qin Ruoshan's eyes were filled with surprise and anxiety, shining brightly.

Su Yunwan encouraged: "Just give it a try. If it's not enough, it's not too late to change to something else."

"Okay, I will do it well."

Walking to the kitchen, Zhao Yongfu and his wife were busy on the stove.

After some greetings, Su Yunwan fetched water to wash up, then ate a few snacks to fill her stomach, and then went to the old lady with Qin Ruoshan to talk about the matter.

When they were about to arrive, Qin Ruoshan suddenly said: "Sister-in-law, Hu Huo was quite active during your absence."

Su Yunwan's steps stagnated, and her expression suddenly turned pale: "I understand."

In the main room, the old lady was warming herself by the fire, and Amber and Lin were standing aside to serve.

Seeing Su Yunwan, the old lady immediately raised her kind face and waved: "Wanwan, it's cold outside, come here and warm yourself by the fire."

"Okay." Su Yunwan walked to the old lady and sat down.

Qin Ruoshan was a living person, but the old lady turned a blind eye. She didn't say anything, she only looked at each other and her mother, walked aside and waited quietly.

The old lady pushed the dessert plate towards Su Yunwan: "Do you want to eat something? Let's put some pastries on the table first, and then we'll have lunch soon."

"Thank you grandma for caring, I just ate it."

At this time, Hu Bo presented a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Madam, this is the imperial tribute tea. It's called Jiuqu Hongmei. It was a reward from the palace in the past. The young master drinks it most. I wonder if you like it. .”

"But I've had a few drinks on the way here, and I haven't seen your young master like it?" Su Yunwan looked sideways at Hu Hu, with the sharpness in his eyes undisguised.

Amber lowered her eyes, "Maybe the young master saw that you liked it, so he gave it to you."

After speaking, she secretly glanced at the old lady with a hint of expectation.
