Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

However, this time Fan Jingrui was very firm. "In short, it's just not possible."

Even Fan Qianxue advised: "Sister-in-law, it's okay to practice secretly. This way we can guard against some soldiers and maybe keep a trump card. As long as someone dares to come, we will beat them to a pulp."

"Okay?" Everyone and every family has their own secrets, and Chu Ci also respects this privacy. She knows that for some things, only the person involved can decide whether to share them.

For a moment, the three of them looked at each other in silence. The others concentrated on their journey, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy. There was no other way, the whip was too painful.

At the end of the day, everyone in the Fan family felt like their bodies were no longer their own.

The younger ones even ignored their parents’ warnings and cried loudly.

"Second sister, my feet hurt so much, are they rotten?" This is Fan Qianwei, the daughter of Fan Jingrui's uncle. She has been spoiled since she was a child and has a naive temperament. She is not being hypocritical, but she really believes it.

As for the fourth uncle's Jingyu, Qianbai, Qianxiao, and the fifth uncle's Jingheng, Jingliang, they were all under ten years old, and when they heard about rotten feet, they were so scared that they burst into tears.

Chu Ci, who was a single mother in his previous life, had never seen such a scene before, so he retreated repeatedly. After he was farther away, his brain, which was about to explode, finally regained clarity.

Only then did she realize that among a group of crying children, there was a girl who was neither crying nor making a fuss, and was so calm that it was heartbreaking.

Chu Ci quietly pulled Qianxue's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Qianxue, who is that girl?"

"Qianyan from Fourth Uncle's family is the same age as me." Having said this, he paused before continuing, "But because she is a concubine's daughter and her biological mother has passed away, she is a little dull. These are Fourth Uncle's mother's original words."

"If you ask me, Qianyan knows that he has no one to back him up, so he just lives his life as a transparent person." The little girl Qianxue chattered and told everyone about Fan Qianyan.

Chu Ci was thoughtful after hearing this. It seemed that the content of the book was very one-sided. In the book, the strict family tradition of the Fan family still had concubines, illegitimate sons and daughters.

It can even make a twelve-year-old girl look less than ten years old and obviously abused. This is not mentioned in the book.

Chu Ci felt that he almost forgot to recognize the four words "strict family tradition". Even the filter he had for Fan Jingrui was about to be shattered!

Thinking of this, Chu Ci was a little dazed, and at the same time, he felt a little relieved, relieved that Fan Jingrui had refused the Fan family's property.

Chu Ci was filled with emotion. She was so immersed in her own thoughts that she ignored her surroundings and did not notice the complicated looks of the ladies of the Fan family not far away.

until……

"What? A wooden bowl costs ten taels? Why don't you just go and rob it?" An old voice, like thunder from a clear sky, exploded in Chu Ci's ears.

Is it Mr. Fan’s?

Since embarking on the road of exile, the old man has hardly ever spoken, but every time he speaks, it has the power to stabilize the sea.

Now?

But now, the old man broke the silence.

Compared to the old man's anger, the officers were still smiling. The bearded leader was even more brazen, even saying provocatively: "Aren't we robbing?"

"You... you..."

Chu Ci shook his head gently. Why bother?

She didn't have any silver, but she had plenty of things. She gently touched her hair (actually took it out from the space), and a piece of chicken fat appeared in her hand.

He walked quickly to the bearded man and said, "This piece of chicken fat yellow is uncut and worth a thousand gold. Even if the one in front of you was once the Grand Tutor, he only has one piece. Do you want to exchange it?"

"Change."

"No..." The bearded man and Master Fan spoke almost at the same time, but their answers were completely opposite. However, Chu Ci and the bearded man tacitly chose to ignore Master Fan's opinion.

Although he didn't know much about other things, he had heard of chicken fat yellow.

Before setting off, his immediate boss and brother-in-law had been looking for this precious stone in the hope of getting a promotion.

Now, it was like someone delivering a pillow to him when he was dozing off. As long as he asked someone to bring the chicken fat back, his promotion would be a sure thing. More importantly, he could make his brother-in-law owe him a favor, and his sister's status in the family would also be improved.

The bearded man was thinking in his heart, but the people below didn't know. They only knew that Chu Ci's identity was widely known. How could such a person have such a precious thing? "Boss, what if..."

"If that happens, I will take the responsibility. In addition, I will give each of you fifty taels." The bearded man thought his voice was very soft, but he could not hide it from Chu Ci.

The officials didn't care about the chicken fat. In comparison, fifty taels of silver was more attractive. Obviously, the big bearded man seemed to have a good reputation. Everyone stood aside and watched it all like a play.

The bearded man took care of his colleague and turned to Chu Ci and said, "Give it to me?"

Chu Ci would not indulge him. She retracted her hand and said with a smile, "Wait a minute, what I said before was just a joke."

"Now, the value of this chicken fat is more than a thousand gold. There are 28 people in the Fan family, including me. I also need a donkey cart, two pots, and a water bag for each member of the Fan family. These requests are not too much, right?"

"Not too much." The bearded man said this with gritted teeth. He secretly thought that if it wasn't for the sake of precaution, he would definitely let this woman have a taste of his whip.

Now, why not just tolerate her for a while? He forced a stiff smile: "Now, can you give me the things?"

Unexpectedly, Chu Ci shook her head and said, "One hand pays the money, the other hand delivers the goods. If you get promoted and leave, where can I go to seek justice?"

When Mr. Fan saw this scene, he felt very distressed. He wanted to persuade them several times, but when he thought about the previous crises when Chu Ci stepped forward, he, an old man, really didn't know how to speak.

He, Fan Mengshi, really couldn't do such a thing as turning his back on someone.

Thinking of this, Mr. Fan sighed deeply, turned around and left slowly. I don't know if it was Chu Ci's illusion, but she always felt that the old man's originally upright figure seemed a little hunched at this moment.

Perhaps, in the original book, Master Fan died early. Among them, there are objective physical factors, but more importantly, he could not bear all kinds of psychological torture?

No, it can't. The old man is the backbone of this family, and so many invisible connections depend on him. So no matter what, the old man's life must be saved.

Thinking of this, Chu Ci took out a piece of chicken fat from the space again, took two steps at a time and came to the old man, "Old man, don't feel bad. Look--"
