    "Get out of the Qi Mansion?" Ping'er still didn't believe it. "How is that possible? Miss, should we wait for the master to return to the mansion?"

    Father is now being imprisoned by the emperor in the palace, and when he returns, Qi's mansion will have been looted long ago.

    "Don't say more, just do as I say and go!" Qi Surong's voice was a little stern.

    "Okay, okay." Ping'er no longer hesitated, and quickly turned around and ran away.

    Qi Surong walked into his room, and neatly pulled out several banknotes from the dressing cabinet, each with a denomination ranging from fifty-two to three-hundred taels, adding up to about a thousand taels. This amount is only her usual half-month expenses, but now it will become the capital for her and her family to stand on.

    In the last life, she couldn't accept the reality that Qi's family was sealed up. She was immersed in a huge blow, and she never thought about the issue of money. Since she was a child, she had always thought that money was a common thing and was not worth mentioning.

    Now that I think about it, I'm really stupid and naive.

    Glancing across the jewelry box, Qi Surong could only shake her head regretfully. The person who seized the Qi family this time was his father's nemesis. He cut off the burden of everyone in the Qi family and was not allowed to take any valuables, including her mother's dowry.

    Qi Surong could only pick out a few pieces of jewelry and hid them in her arms along with the banknotes. Afterwards, she packed up some clothes, brought a set of embroidery needles that were specially ordered by someone, picked up her guqin, walked out of the room, and walked quickly towards the courtyard where her mother lived.

    There were eight or nine people standing in the mother's room, talking about something, while the mother was sitting beside the bed, crying to herself.

    "Hey, the eldest lady is here, what can I do!" a beautiful woman said.

    Qi Surong ignored her and went straight to her mother.

    "Rong'er, your father..." Mother Qi took Qi Surong's hand with a sad face.

    "I know, mother, the Qi family is dying, we must prepare early." Qi Surong tried to keep herself calm, but her eyes lingered on her mother's face.

    Mom, finally see you again!

    "What? Qi's mansion is dead?" Before Qi's mother could speak, a woman in Chinese clothes next to her interrupted and shouted.

    The other people were also shocked.

    Qi Surong stared at them and said indifferently, "If I were you, I wouldn't waste time here. Pack up some valuables as soon as possible, and prepare to leave the Qi residence."

    "Why are you so sure?" the gorgeous woman asked. The Qi family has been an official from generation to generation, and it is a famous noble family that has been passed down for several generations. With the Qi family's influence in the imperial court, how could it end up like this?

    "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. I've said it all. Please leave. I want to be alone with my mother." Qi Surong had no good feelings for them. They were concubines hired by their father. After the Qi family was investigated in their previous life, they abandoned their father one after another because they could not bear the hardships of life. Some people even owed a lot of money in the name of their father, and the money was taken away by them. , the debt fell on their family.

    Of course, not everyone is ruthless, at least two people are willing to share weal and woe with their father, but they are driven away by their father in the end. They might be better off without the Qi family who was charged with the crime.

    Qi Surong reminded them to pack up their valuables at this time, not for their sake, but hoping that they could leave her and her parents early when they had money.

    She remembered that in the last life, most people didn't have time to pack up their belongings. Because of this, these concubines will continue to follow the father until the last value is drained.

    Qi Surong sent them away, looked around, and asked, "Mother, where is Subao?"

    Su Bao is the younger brother of Su Rong's mother. Although Qi's father had many wives and concubines, he was very strict in the matter of children and did not allow women other than his wife to leave his blood. So far, he has only two children, Su Rong and Su Bao.

    "Su Bao is still ill, resting in the room, and the nurse is taking care of him." Mother Qi replied sobbing.

    Qi Surong knelt beside Qi's mother's leg and said softly: "Mother, listen to me, the emperor will not spare the Qi family this time, we must find another way out."

    "However, your father hasn't come back yet. Are you waiting for your father to come back before making plans?"

    "Mother, trust me, Dad will be fine." Qi Surong said cautiously, "What we need to do now is to prepare as many silver taels as possible to prepare for the future life."

    Mother Qi glanced at Qi Surong with a hesitant look on her face. She has lived in the compound all her life, and has never traveled far, but now she is suddenly leaving the Qi Mansion, and she has no masters in her heart.

    Qi Surong is very aware of Qi's mother's temperament, she is more than virtuous, but lacks courage, indecisive and indecisive when it comes to things. Because of this character, she used to look down on her mother all the time, feeling that she didn't have the prestige of being a mistress, so she couldn't stand on the stage. Although her lips are rarely disrespectful, her eyes and expressions often betray her true thoughts. When her mother faced her, she was always trembling and did not dare to say a heavy word. She was afraid of her, afraid of her own daughter.

    Thinking of this, Qi Surong felt that she was very sad. How could she look down on her mother who raised her through hard work?

    "Mother, now that the Qi family has suddenly changed, our family should be more united. No matter what difficulties we face, we must never give up. As long as our relatives are still there, we can start all over again. Do you think so?" Qi Surongwen persuasion.

    Mother Qi looked at her blankly, she was still the familiar pretty face, but she felt completely different, as if the child had grown and matured overnight.

    Qi Surong stood up and said to Qi's mother, "Mother, I'll help you clean up, and then go find Su Bao together."

    Qi's mother hesitated, but finally gave in silently.

    She first helped Qi's mother tidy up the clothes, and then took out a stack of silver bills from the dark pavilion. Qi's mother's private house is not much money, but her dowry is very rich, but unfortunately she can't take it with her. Qi Surong touched the jewelry in the jewelry box and the neatly stored silk and satin in the box, and made up her mind that one day, she must help her mother to restock these items.
