Chapter 8

Outside the city, a group of prisoners in chains stood on the side of the road, looking back at the capital, looking sad and confused.

Sent to Liangcheng, thousands of miles away, can you come back in your lifetime?

To die in a foreign land and unable to return home is the final outcome of many exiled sinners.

Will they be one of them?

In contrast, female dependents and men under the age of ten do not need to wear shackles, and it is not so hard.

In the second room of the Mu family, only Mu Wanqing and her daughter did not wear shackles. Wanqing wore a set of men's clothes that had been changed to a smaller size. This was changed from the clothes of her second brother, with a refreshing ponytail, which was indistinguishable.

She also asked Qian to sew a furoshiki out of the cut cloth, and wrapped the clothes and boxes together. This is all the luggage of the second room.

Poor little, but better than others.

Others are really clean, penniless, and don't know how to get through the difficult path of exile.

Many people died on the road of exile. It can be said that this road is a near-death experience.

Even in exile, few people can survive safely.

She looked around. In addition to the Mu family, there was also the Fang Yukun family, the former head of the Ministry of War. There were more than 300 people in total.

As for the servants who were sold, don't know where they were scattered.

Thirty officials in charge of the escort, with five carriages and several horses, were scattered around the prisoners.

And the leading yamen officer, surnamed Zeng, was tall and sturdy, and he rode majestically on horseback, staring at these prisoners.

Mu Wanqing kept collecting data, her brain quickly analyzing the information.

Suddenly, the joyous voice of Aunt Liu next to her came, and it was her family that came.

Not only came, but also sent clothes and dry food, which made the Sixth Aunt's family very happy.

This got off to a good start, and everyone else's relatives and friends came to see them off.

Only the main branch of the Mu family did not make much movement, all of them were looking forward to it, looking left and right, anxious.

Mu Erye and his wife just waited quietly, without any expectations.

mu Ziang couldn't help but ask, "Dad, will someone come to see us?"

Second Master Mu gave a wry smile and shook his head slightly, "No."

The second room is almost never at home, so there is no chance to make friends. As for relatives, no one looks down on the second room.

"Where's the grandfather's family?" the eldest son Mu Zicheng asked curiously. He didn't seem to have seen the grandfather's family.

Mrs. Mu Er looked at her husband and son who were wearing shackles and felt distressed, "Why did the old lady choose me as the second daughter-in-law? It's because my mother's family is not strong enough."

She was born in a merchant, and her status as a merchant was not high, not to mention that her biological mother died early, and she did not have any brothers of her mother's compatriots.

The stepmother gave birth to another son, and the backyard is her world.

The biological father runs from all over the world, the father and daughter have weak feelings, and the stepmother picks things up, and if there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather.

So, even if she was harsh on her stepdaughter, no one dared to say anything.

After getting married, her parents' family saw that there was no light, so they simply cut off contact.

The second room chatted about everyday things, and the third room jumped anxiously.

Third Master Mu looked at the rising sun, and his heart became dry, "Mother, why haven't the two younger sisters appeared? It's impossible for them not to know about it."

Uncle Mu frowned, "If you don't come again, we'll be on our way."

The marriages of the two younger sisters were carefully chosen, which could bring help to the family. Marriage is the best way to marry two surnames.

They are each other's in-laws, share weal and woe.

"Come on, the second aunt is here."

The Mu family was shocked and excited as if they were looking forward to a savior.

A carriage stopped, the curtains were lifted, and the maid helped a beautiful woman in plain clothes to walk down.

It was the second aunt of the Mu family, who was outstanding in appearance and temperament. She married Sun Shangshu's eldest grandson and had two sons.

Madam Mu elongated her face and was very unhappy, "Why did you come?"

"Mother, it's my daughter who is not filial, but..." Second Aunt Mu couldn't help but reddened her eyes when she saw that her mother was haggard and emaciated.

With two layers of mother-in-law on her head, and a sister-in-law who likes to compare, life is not easy.

"My mother-in-law has never allowed me to go out. I sneaked out."

When her mother's family was strong, she was still valued, but when something happened, her treatment plummeted, and the people below dared to show her face.

She had two sons by her side, so she dispelled the idea of ​​her husband's family abandoning her.

Her mother's family is a woman's backing, and her son is a woman's strength. Now that her mother's family is gone, she can only be a man with her tail between her legs.

Old Madam Mu's face was not good-looking. At first, she only wanted to rely on marriage to get together, but she forgot that this circle is the most snobbish and shrewd.

Once defeated, he turned his face and did not recognize anyone.

"It's not easy for you, what about your eldest sister?"

Aunt Mu's brows furrowed, "She is more difficult than me. She has only one daughter under her knees. The Xu family is clamoring for divorce, and she can't go out at all."

Uncle Mu couldn't help scolding, "Snobby, not a thing."

The Xu family's marriage was approved by him personally. The Xu family was considered to be his ability and cleanliness. In order to attract people's hearts, he married his sister.

At first, he was humbled to please, but now he is ruthless.

Third Master Mu stretched his neck impatiently, "Don't talk about this, what have you prepared for us?"

Second Aunt Mu is a filial and considerate person and prepared two scooters.

"My mother is old and can't stand the long journey. I can feel more at ease with this transportation."

There are also a lot of things piled up on the two carts, including clothes, shoes and socks, as well as various daily necessities.

"Everything is the same, one for each of the two rooms."

She only prepared two copies, completely forgetting that there is a second brother.

There is a difference between the concubines and the concubines, and she has always looked down on the second brother from the concubines.

She also gave old lady Mu a sachet, which contained three thousand silver notes.

These are her private money, and she was married to Shili Hongzhuang at the beginning.

Holding the money, Mrs. Mu had confidence in her heart, and the children and grandchildren had to respect her if they wanted to live comfortably.

She took her second daughter's hand and sighed softly, "It's still your thoughtfulness, it's not in vain for me to love you so much, you should be filial to your in-laws, serve good husbands, and please them more. Whether we can come back is up to you."

Second Aunt Mu has a good plan, and she promised, "Don't worry, I know what I know."

Not only that, but she also asked her subordinates to bribe the escort officials with money.

Don't ask for more attention, just ask for no embarrassment.

This is also a routine operation, and usually it will be a bit of an official job.

The Mu family couldn't wait to open the package to check, ah, there are oily meat patties.

As soon as everyone rushed up to grab it, it was like a starving wolf, and they were all greedy.

They only cared about eating for themselves, and they all forgot to let Mrs. Mu eat first.

Seeing this, Second Aunt Mu personally took a meat pie and delivered it to her mother, and said deliberately, "Two brothers, you have to be filial to your mother. If she has three strengths and two weaknesses, I will not obey her."

Uncle Mu understood the beating in her words, and quickly said with a smile, "This is also our mother. Even if I don't eat it myself, I will let my mother eat it first, without your order."

Third Master Mu also patted his chest to assure, Barabara said a few words, and then the wind changed, "Second sister, you blow the pillow wind more, coax more husband's family, and quickly get us back to the capital."

Second Aunt Mu naturally agreed, and walked over to her most beloved niece in a blink of an eye.

"Jinyao, cheer up, you are one of the famous twins in the capital. I don't know how many men love you. Are you willing to sink in? Listen to me, live well, only by living can there be hope."

Mu Jinyao has been sick all the time, she is suffering from heart disease, "Second aunt, I..."

Second Aunt Mu interrupted softly, "Don't forget, when you were born, the fortune-teller said that you were indescribably valuable. I have no doubts about this, and you must believe it. I will try my best to get you out."

She couldn't save the whole family, but if she found those admirers, she might be able to save her niece.

The niece is talented and beautiful, and one day she will rise to the top.

Her words moved Mu Mu Jinyao, and the whole person was refreshed.

The second aunt gave her niece a wink and secretly stuffed a sachet.

Mu Jinyao squeezed it lightly, it was a silver note.

She quickly hid the sachet, and a fluttering heart finally fell to the ground.

The third master Mu was full of food and drink, and began to sigh, "Second brother, if you don't have the second room of yours, I will ask you if you will regret it later?"

This mouth is so stupid.

The second room didn't have anything, not even a meat pie. Second Master Mu was used to being treated differently and was not angry.

But Mu Sanye has to make an inch. "You make the third girl kneel and admit her mistake. Maybe your mother will show her kindness and reward her with something."

This remark evoked Mrs. Mu's memory and aroused strong dissatisfaction, "Hmph, I don't have such an unfilial granddaughter."

Only then did the second aunt see the second family. Hey, they seem to be in good spirits, much better than the others. "Mother, what's the matter?"

The third master Mu couldn't wait to complain, "She was bullying us in prison, eating alone, and even fainted her mother's anger."

These days, the second auntie was low and childish, and she had already held back her anger. She immediately poured out all her anger on Mu Wanqing and slapped her, "I'll teach you a lesson today, you disobedient and unfilial..."

"Murdered." Mu Wanqing flickered slightly, avoiding the opponent's attack, and then yelled.

She doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, but she is never afraid of trouble.

The whole audience looked over, their eyes were surprisingly bright, and they were watching the play.

Hearing this, Second Aunt Mu's hand froze in the air.

Mu Wanqing roared louder, "Everyone, come and see, don't miss it when you pass by, the eldest grandson of Sun Shangshu's family is bullying others, saying that she will kill her niece. Whose power is this fighting?"

As soon as these words came out, passersby gathered around, three floors inside and three floors outside.

Mu Wanqing chuckled, "Your Majesty is generous and generous, leaving me a small life, you are more powerful than your Majesty..."

Second Aunt Mu was so frightened that she rushed over to cover her mouth without thinking. "Shut up and don't talk nonsense."

In one sentence, murder is invisible. She has seen it. It is the first time she knows that this niece has such a skill.

Mu Wanqing pulled her hand apart with force, and muttered vaguely, "Two hundred taels, hush money."

Seal fee? The second aunt glared at her fiercely, thinking beautifully, "Are you crazy, you dead girl?"

Mu Wanqing was unhappy, "Five hundred taels."

She raised the price as soon as she disagreed, and suddenly, she screamed in horror.

"What? Sun Shangshu asked you to do this? Why? He wants to show off more ability than the emperor? Hungry god."

The audience was silent, shocked, stunned, and faintly excited.

Fight up fight up! Hurry up!
