At the same time, the Su family also welcomed a team of guards, who also came to confiscate the family's property. Even though they had been prepared beforehand, when the moment really came, no one in the Su family could accept it.

The old man of the Su family supported the old lady who looked dejected and watched their things being carried away box by box. Those were the accumulation of several generations of the Su family, but now they were destroyed in the hands of the eldest son.

Since he was a person of little ability, he let his eldest son who was good at studying take charge of the family early on. At that time, he was favored by the Bai family and had a bright career path.

However, the Su family is not as well-established as the Bai family, and other people's gossip eventually caused a rift between the eldest son and his wife. After the incident at the Bai family, the eldest daughter-in-law became depressed, and the son was only thinking about Wang's daughter.

As a result, the couple became strangers. After the eldest daughter-in-law died, the granddaughter was sent away. From then on, Wang became the head of the Su family, and the family gradually forgot about Xin Jie'er, the eldest daughter.

Later, she got engaged to the old marquis of the Li family, but this led to Xin Jie'er being schemed to marry into the Li family. After all, Xin Jie'er was the most innocent person.

But what can I do? My son has grown up and learned to pretend to obey me but actually disobey me. He is stubborn and wants to go all the way to the end, which eventually brings trouble to the entire Su family.

Su Qingyun was still imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice at this time. Also imprisoned was Su Qing, the eldest son of the Su family. Su Qingfeng had been managing the Su family's business. Seeing that all the good things he had collected and accumulated were gone, he burst into tears and wailed.

Su Li from the Su family looked at her belongings and saw that they were all gone. She sat on the ground and cried loudly without any image. She no longer looked like a noble lady as usual.

"Those things are all mine. We have accumulated them with great difficulty. Why do you take them away? The offender is Su Qingyun, not our master. Why do you want to confiscate our things?"

Seeing that no one paid attention to her, she simply looked at her sister-in-law who was usually so high and mighty, "Sister-in-law, please say something! Those are all our savings, and a lot of them are my dowry. Please help me speak up, sister-in-law!"

Wang Yuqing looked at his second brother's wife who looked like she was crazy. The Su family was small and he had been very tolerant of this sister-in-law, but he did not expect that the second house had so many things.

Normally, this couple did a lot of things in the name of the husband, but now that something happened, they wanted to distance themselves from the first wife. How is that possible!

"Sister-in-law, please stop making a fuss. This situation cannot be solved by throwing a tantrum. Don't lose the last bit of your dignity."

Li Shi no longer cared about those things. Without her property and Jiaye, she would be gone. What was the point of maintaining her dignity? "Father, please talk to the officials. Those things really belong to our second branch, not my eldest brother.

The ones who committed the crime were my eldest brother and nephew. We were all unaware of it. Our second branch is innocent! Father, please speak up!"

The old man of the Su family looked at his noisy second daughter-in-law and knew that she could not accept it for a while, but what could he do? The first and second wives had not separated. In the past, the second wife coveted the power of the first wife, and now that she was in trouble, she naturally had to share the responsibility.

So Old Master Su just sighed. He didn't say anything, nor did he stop Li from making a scene.

The guards who came to confiscate the property quickly evacuated the Su Mansion. Of course, they also took away all the property of the Su family, and all the servants of the Su family were also taken away.

The entire Su Mansion was left with only the masters who didn't know where to go and the mess on the ground. They would embark on the road of exile tomorrow, and tonight would be their last night in the capital.

Old Master Su looked at the desolate and bleak mansion, feeling a little sad, but he still said, "Go and put the remaining things in order, pack up everything that can be used and take them with you on the road tomorrow!

From now on, our Su family will live a hard life, which will be completely different from the past. You all need to be prepared. "

Everyone also wanted to know how much of their things were left, so they all went to the yard. The old man helped the old lady back to their yard and saw that the once exquisite yard was now in a mess.

The old man looked around and found that all the banknotes were gone, all the valuables were gone, but the quilts and clothes were still there.

The old man packed up the things himself and collected what was left. All of the old lady's expensive jewelry and head ornaments were gone, leaving only some broken and insignificant items.

The old lady became more and more sad. Fortunately, they had made some preparations beforehand and sewed some banknotes into the inconspicuous clothes...

The imperial guards also withdrew from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, taking away boxes of valuables that had been accumulated by several generations of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

After the Imperial Guards withdrew, the servants of the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion were also taken away. There were not many people in the Bitao Courtyard, but they were not taken away. The old man asked everyone to go back to their own courtyards to see how much was left.

On the second day, the guards surrounding the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion withdrew, and officials came to take over the rest. Su Lanxin and the old marquis were waiting at the door.

The old marquis felt an indescribable pain in his heart when he saw his grandchildren all put in shackles. Although he was saved by his eldest grandson, he still felt sad to see his children and grandchildren suffer.

Seeing that the officers did not put shackles on the old marquis, they initially thought that it was because the old marquis was old, so he was spared.

It was not until they were escorted out of the mansion that they discovered that only Su Lanxin and the old marquis were left behind, but the two of them still followed the group. However, Xinyue, who was beside Su Lanxin, followed behind them carrying a bag.

Only after they were sent out of the city gate did Su Lanxin and the old marquis stop and meet the people of the Su family. Su Lanxin let go of the old marquis' hand and brought Xinyue to the Su family.

She spoke a few words to the officer in charge, and stuffed a purse into his pocket before she was able to come to the old man of the Su family. "Grandfather, are you okay?"

Old Master Su looked at his granddaughter whom he hadn't seen for a long time, sighed and said, "Xin Jie'er is here, Grandfather is fine, nothing is wrong, the weather is still good now, and he can still hold on.

But Sister Xin, you will suffer again. Being exiled to the bitter cold land of the northwest, I’m afraid…”

Su Lanxin knew that her grandfather didn't know that she was not implicated at the moment, "Grandfather, I'm fine. My husband and I have different positions from my father and the prince, so I don't need to go to the northwest.

But I can’t continue to live in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. My husband has made great contributions and pleaded for the old marquis. It’s just that I am incompetent and can’t help my grandfather. It’s my fault.”

Old Master Su didn't expect that the young couple's position was right. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly smiled, "That's great! Sister Xin, live a good life in the capital in the future. When your brother from the Bai family returns to the capital, you should spend more time with him.

Now that the Su family and the Li family have both fallen, you have no relatives left in the capital and may have to face the criticism of the world for a long time.

But you are not wrong. The Su family has never given you protection, and the Li family has never given protection to their grandson-in-law, so your choice is not wrong.

Grandfather is leaving now, and I don’t know if he will be able to come back in his lifetime. You should be well alone in the capital. Grandfather is taken care of by your father and second uncle, so you don’t have to worry about him.”

Su Lanxin looked at the much older Grandpa Su, and couldn't explain how she felt. "Grandfather, don't worry. I will live a good life. Grandfather, you should also take care of yourself."

Then he said to Xinyue: "Xinyue, give me the things."

Su Lanxin took the package and handed it to Old Master Su, saying, "Grandfather, these are some knee pads, gloves, clothes, and some small change that I prepared for you and grandma. Please keep them."

Old Master Su took it. The package was not big, but he felt heavy in his heart. "Okay!"

While Su Lanxin was handing over the package, she whispered, "Grandfather, please wear the knee pad I prepared for you, and don't let it fall into the hands of others.

My father and second uncle have never experienced hardship, and my younger brothers and sisters have been used to luxury since childhood. They will definitely not be able to adapt to it for a while. Some things need your personal supervision. "

Old Master Su nodded, understanding the meaning of her words, "Okay, you can go back! Grandfather knows."

Su Qingyun looked at Su Lanxin and wanted to say something, but was glared back by the old man.

On the other side, Li Ziyu, who arrived a little later, also handed a package to Li He, gave him a few instructions, and then stood beside the old marquis.

The old marquis also gave Li He instructions again and again...
