Chapter 5 Cannon fodder on the road to exile 5
5Chapter [-]
A huge group of people were escorted outside the city. This time, it was not just the Su family that was raided, but several families were behind the Su family.
The main reason for his exile was that the old emperor wanted to clear obstacles for his successor, and Prime Minister Su, who was extremely powerful in the court, was the first to bear the brunt.
Of course, being exiled so quickly was also due to being in the wrong team. In short, the Su family's end was not entirely due to bad luck.
The charge of corruption is not unjust.
"Mom, I'm afraid." Yesterday she was the enviable lady of the prime minister's house, but when she got up this morning, she became a prisoner.
The huge change in status was difficult for Su Xintong to accept for a while.
What follows is deep fear.
"Tong'er, don't be afraid. Mom is fine." Mrs. Wei was cruel to the women and children in the backyard, but she was full of love for her own child.
"Boss, you three brothers, please pay more attention and see if your grandfather's family has sent us anything."
Mrs. Wei warned her three sons, "Your grandmother loves you the most and will definitely send us things."
Mr. Wei said this very firmly.
Unfortunately, things didn't work as expected. They didn't see the Wei family coming until they walked several miles outside the city gate.
The Wei family didn't come, but Wei's three daughters-in-law's families all gave them something more or less.
But Du Duwei's family did not come, which was difficult for Wei to accept.
Just when she was about to despair, a voice called to her.
"Miss, Miss" the voice was so familiar, and Mrs. Wei's face was filled with joy.
"Mama Lai, why did you come here just now? Did mother ask you to come over and give me something?"
Seeing the people around her mother arriving late, Mrs. Wei couldn't help feeling resentful, and her tone of voice also had a hint of displeasure.
Lai's mother felt contempt in her heart. This eldest lady has been arrogant and selfish since she was a child, and now she is like this, and she has not yet understood the reality.
This morning there was also a scandal that marrying a girl from the Wei family would lead to the death of the heir, which tarnished the reputations of both married and unmarried girls in the family.
The ladies in the mansion don’t know what to do in the future!
She didn't feel guilty at all.
If the old lady hadn't still been thinking about her, Mother Lai wouldn't be here!
It seems like the eldest lady has not realized the harm she has brought to the family at all. Mother Lai really feels worthless for the Wei family.
No matter what she was thinking, Lai's mother handed the things to Mrs. Wei respectfully.
Wei got the things and couldn't wait to open them and look through them.
It turned out that there was only some food inside, as well as a few water bags and a small pot.
In disbelief, Wei rummaged through it carefully, but there was not even half a copper plate.
"Mom Lai, did my mother prepare just these things for me? Don't you have any money?"
"Yes, yes." Lai's mother took out a purse from her arms and handed it to Mrs. Wei.
Wei Shixin said that her mother still loved her.
But when she saw that there were only five hundred taels of silver notes inside, her expression changed.
"Mother Lai, are you sure this is all your mother gave me?"
Facing Wei's suspicious gaze, Lai's mother's kind face instantly turned serious and cold.
"Miss, maybe you think that this old slave is capable of corruption. I have been following my wife since I was a child. I have never done anything that goes against my will, and I am not a short-sighted person."
When Mrs. Wei saw Lai's mother's expression change, she quickly explained. "Mother Lai, that's not what I meant, but as you have seen, my whole family will be exiled soon, and we don't know how to go in the future.
I really don’t know if this money will allow my children to reach their destination safely and alive, so I’m a little anxious now. Don’t blame Mom Lai. "
If she hadn't expected Lai's mother to have sex with her mother, Mrs. Wei wouldn't have wanted to be so condescending to a slave.
"Miss, Madam knows your difficulties, but the words that came out of your house this morning have made the Wei family girl's reputation bad, and the master is very angry.
Moreover, although the master is not involved in the matter of my uncle, it is still a relationship between marriages. Your Majesty has already angered the family. Now the master and the young master have been dismissed from their posts.
You can't protect yourself right now. If Madam hadn't been thinking about you, she wouldn't have let your slave come secretly to deliver things to you. Please understand Madam's difficulty. "
Lai's mother's words were like a lightning strike, hitting Mrs. Wei hard.
She really didn't expect that her family would be implicated, nor did she expect that the message would spread so quickly, in just a few hours.
Wei wanted to say something more, but the officer escorting them started urging her.
"Take care, young lady, I have to go back and recover."
After saying that, Lai’s mother left without looking back.
"Mom, does grandma not care about us?" Su Xintong, who had witnessed everything, looked at Mrs. Wei anxiously.
"No, your grandmother's family loves you the most. Now the situation is tight, they will help us after a while."
Wei was paralyzing herself in her heart and said the same thing on her lips.
"That's good, but I don't know how long it will take for the limelight to pass. We must unite now. Mom, you have to take good care of the family's money. I have to rely on you along the way."
Su Xintong's words suddenly woke up the Wei family from the decadence of being abandoned by her natal family.
"Brother's family, second child's family, and third child's family, please take out all the money you have and give it to me for safekeeping."
The three wives' families have all brought gifts. At times like this, the most important thing is to keep the money firmly in hand.
The three daughters-in-law are not stupid. At this time, money can save lives at any time. They all gave it to the mother-in-law. When the time comes, she really needs to use it, and she has to bend her knees to beg.
Why, it's money that clearly belongs to them.
Thinking of this, none of the three daughters-in-law paid any money, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
At the same time, my sister-in-law, who had a grudge against her, was troubled.
"Why, your family just suffered a disaster, do you want to rebel?" Seeing that they were not moving, Mrs. Wei looked cold.
He glared at the three daughters-in-law fiercely, and then looked at the eldest son with burning eyes.
"Boss, is it hard for my mother to speak with you?"
Su Rao, who was named, cursed secretly in his heart. How long has it been since he was still thinking about internal fighting?
But my mother had already called her by name, and he couldn't ignore it.
"Why don't you give it to me soon?" Su Rao winked at his wife.
Zhou understood, rolled his eyes, and took out a purse from his body. "Mom, didn't you react just now? You still have to take care of this family. Without you, the family will fall apart."
Mrs. Wei was very satisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law's flattery.
She didn't care about their actions of disobeying her orders just now.
The second child curled his lips and secretly cursed Mr. Zhou as a flatterer.
Reluctantly, he handed over the banknote that had not yet been warmed from his pocket.
Then came the third family.
The three daughters-in-law handed over the money, which finally satisfied Mrs. Wei.
Even the fear of being abandoned by her parents' family was suppressed.
The large team walked all morning without stopping until the sun went down, then they found an open space and planned to rest for a night and start again tomorrow morning.
The government officials first gave each person a steamed bun, which was so hard that they couldn't even bite it.
How could it be possible for these pampered people to eat it?
However, most of them had the dry food given by their families when they were leaving.
I couldn't chew the cornballs, so I didn't even eat them if I could.
The Su family didn't lack food, so Wo Wo Tou didn't want to eat, so he stopped eating.
However, this does not include concubines like Xinming.
Xinming has never seen a wowotou as hard as a rock in his whole life.
Holding the Wowotou in his hand, he knocked it on the stone. Good guy, bang bang sound. Is this something that human teeth can gnaw?
Xinming expressed doubts.
I was just thinking about how to solve the problem of eating!
He saw Su Xinchen taking the steamed bun and putting it in his mouth.
Xinming looked at such a beautiful girl and felt so pitiful that she had to eat rock-hard food, fearing that the other party would chip her white teeth.
Stopped her immediately.
"Third sister, wait, don't eat like this. There is water over there. Let's wet the buns with water and bake them on the fire so that they won't harden."
As he said that, he couldn't help but pull the person up and walk to the creek not far away.
Su Xinchen felt the heat on her wrist, and her body stiffened for a moment.
But calm soon returned.
Pull the person to the stream, take the Wowotou from the other person's hand, soak the WoWotou, and find a clean stick to string them together.
He lit a fire again, built a small fire, and grilled steamed buns by the stream.
Both of them were ashen, and they had no sense of existence among a group of people who had suffered great changes and were miserable.
As for the Su family, due to Wei's deliberate guidance, the masters in the mansion had a very weak impression of Xinming, the three concubines.
Therefore, Mrs. Wei did not mention them at this moment, and the others subconsciously ignored them.
It was already the end of September, and the temperature at night was still a bit cold. Their clothes were thin, and with this small fire, they would not get cold.
"Third sister, remember, it's not necessary. Don't reveal your appearance. Let's be sloppy as long as we are. Safety is important. Just wait until we get to the destination."
Xinming thought of the other party's beautiful face and felt worried.
She had not forgotten that the Su family had the evil intention of using them to bribe the government officials in exchange for benefits along the way.
Today, all the in-laws of the Su family have come to deliver things, and there is certainly no shortage of money. Even if they are not used, the road to exile can go smoothly.
But the Su family is vicious and greedy, and they are reluctant to spend all their money.
He planned to sacrifice them and take their lives in such a shameful way.
It's really selfish and cold.
"Why are you so close to me all of a sudden?" The sudden question brought Xinming back from his thoughts.
She subconsciously looked at Su Xinchen's dark eyes, filled with pure doubts and exploration.
Xinming was stunned, smiled, and replied softly. "Because we are biological sisters, the people in the Su family will not care about us along the way. I want to find someone to help each other and reach the destination alive.
In the morning, I almost got whipped, but you stood up and spoke for me. Therefore, I feel that you are the only person in this family who still has humanity, so I want to be with you. "
Human touch?
Su Xinchen chewed these three words in her heart.
Looking at Xinming's sincere and heartless face, a flash of disgust flashed in his eyes.
Silly.
