The weak and tearful Qian was angry for the first time since her property was confiscated and she was exiled for so many days, and even Dai Hongmei was stunned on the spot.
Qian bulged her eyes and warned fiercely: "If you keep speaking without restraint like this, I will fight you to the death!"
"Are you crazy?" Dai Hongmei cursed in a low voice and returned to her team in shame.
Qian's anger disappeared in an instant, tears slowly rolled down her cheeks, and she said softly, "My husband is fine."
The sadness could be seen from the bones. Jiang Qiu was moved by it and went forward to hug her: "Mom, we know it."
"Those people are really going too far!" Qian was indignant.
When the Lu family brought Lu Guangzong and others to the capital, she worked hard to distribute two-tenths of the property. She thought that no matter what happened in the past, the family would share the joys and sorrows in the future.
But they enjoy the blessings and turn against each other when they suffer!
She also slandered her husband's reputation, which was really too much and she could no longer tolerate it.
"Mom, have some porridge." Lu Ce said.
"Yes, Mom, you should fill your stomach quickly." Jiang Qiu also advised.
"Okay." Qian used her sleeve to gently wipe away the tears on her face, and then drank the porridge one spoonful at a time with a spoon.
Her movements were dignified and graceful, and one could tell at a glance that she was a girl from a large family.
Unlike Jiang Qiu, who drank the porridge in one gulp and almost choked, he pounded his chest vigorously with his hands: "I feel like I've eaten a stone."
Lu Ce comforted her: "It's just a small particle. It won't die."
Jiang Qiu wanted to roll his eyes.
How can such a straight man compare to the sweet talker of the male protagonist? No wonder the female protagonist didn't choose him.
Deserve it.
Qian looked at Jiang Qiu strangely. It was said that the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion was the most beautiful and talented woman in the capital, and she was well educated. So why was Qiu Niang, her younger sister, so rude?
"Qiu Niang, is there a teaching nanny in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"Yes. What's wrong?"
"No, I just asked out of curiosity because your actions were really heroic."
"Oh." Jiang Qiu nodded, without pointing out Qian's discomfort.
The original owner had learned etiquette, but muscle memory is the hardest to change. Jiang Qiu has lived in modern times for so long, it is naturally impossible for her to do everything according to the rules of today's young ladies. Moreover, she is now in exile. If she speaks softly and is still a weak young lady, she will definitely be bullied.
She was too lazy to take a step-by-step approach. She could no longer hide it from Lu Ce, so it didn't matter if she exposed it to Qian's family.
They would definitely not abandon her, an adult, on the road to exile.
As for when we get to Qiongzhou, we’ll talk about it later.
It's still a long way from now, and you may not even live to see that time, so there's no point worrying so much.
"Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat all day long. Why are you so eager to eat and so slow to walk? Are you deliberately wasting our time?" The official rode on a horse, waving his whip in the air and shouting angrily.
Soon, an officer holding a spear shouted, "Move out!"
Everyone was afraid of being whipped by the mounted officers, so they quickly put their bowls back, returned to the team, and followed the officers carrying their packages.
Jiang Qiu and Lu Ce were walking together. Jiang Qiu looked at his legs for a long time and asked, "Fifth brother, when will your legs get better?"
"I don't know."
He hasn't seen a doctor since he left Kyoto. It was originally predicted that he would recover within two months, but due to his daily travel, not only did he not get better, but the condition got worse. Sometimes he walked too hard and his knees bled. When he could recover depended entirely on God's will.
"Do you want to find a chance to see a doctor?" Jiang Qiu asked. She didn't want to spend money, she just felt that if Lu Ce recovered, his fighting power would definitely be maxed out. In that case, even if he met bandits again, he wouldn't be so scared.
"Let's see if there is a chance." Lu Ce also wanted his legs to be healed, so that he could at least hold his two children.
"Row."
After walking for a while, the talkative Jiang Qiu couldn't help but talk to Lu Ce: "Such a large team, how many of them are your relatives?"
When the new emperor ascended the throne, not only the General's Mansion stepped down, but other aristocratic families as well. However, each aristocratic family was separated by officials and was forbidden to talk, otherwise they would be beaten to death on the spot.
After arriving in Qiongzhou, they will be assigned to different corners, even people from the same family. Two families will not be allowed to live in the same place.
The original owner was used as a substitute for her elder sister in marriage, and she was disheartened and had no intention of caring about who stepped down. Therefore, Jiang Qiu had no idea who were in such a large team.
Seeing her high spirits, Lu Ce also explained to her: "In our family, there is no one except Lu Guangzong's family. Lu Guangzong and his wife are mean people, but they are not scheming. Their thoughts are out in the open, so there won't be much trouble."
"Oh, that's fine."
"Our grandparents are in the prison van. When they are uncomfortable, they will come to cause trouble. If you don't like them, just beat them up."
"Will that make me look like an unfilial person?"
"It doesn't matter. Common people cannot take the imperial examinations, so there is no need to care about false reputation."
"In that case, it's pretty good for us to be commoners." Jiang Qiu chuckled.
The corners of Lu Ce's lips couldn't help but curl up.
As expected, ghosts don’t like rules the most.
Lu Ce did not feel the slightest bit of guilt for letting Jiang Qiu be unfilial to his grandparents. Respecting the elderly starts with loving the young.
The two elders were extremely selfish. When his father was young, they either beat or scolded him. When his father became a general, they loved to use filial piety to pressure others and demanded countless money, treasures, shops and land from his father.
Although they got so many things from their father, they are partial to the eldest wife's family because they always feel that they will be with the eldest wife in the end. The eldest wife is their lifeblood and they love her no matter what they ask of her.
The second wife is an ungrateful person who only gives money when you ask for it.
Therefore, they became more partial to the eldest wife. When the family property was searched, they got the news in advance and took away a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. They had been exiled for so long, sitting in the prison car every day, and they were able to have full stomachs every day. They were the most leisurely and comfortable people in the entire team.
Yesterday, the mother was worried that Jiang Qiu would not survive, so she went to ask for the jewelry, but was scolded and almost got slapped.
But if Lu Guangzong wanted it, the two elders would not be stingy even if they cursed at him.
Jiang Qiu turned his head and stood on tiptoe to take a look, but he couldn't see clearly the old man sitting in the prison van.
But before she had walked far, she saw the city gate.
The officer asked the entire team to rest on the spot and said, "If you want to buy something, please tell me now."
Jiang Qiu thought for a moment, then held Yao'er in his arms and asked the official, "Can I ask how much a pound of brown rice costs, sir?"
Officer: “One tael.”
"hiss--"
Even though Jiang Qiu knew the prices, he still took a deep breath.
After buying the brown rice, I asked the officials to help process it. It was also one tael, and one tael per bowl.
A bowl of rice like that would cost at least one or two hundred coins.
The prices are horrible.
"Do you want it or not? No, get out of here quickly. The people behind you are queuing up." The officer waved his hand with an impatient look on his face.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, sir." Jiang Qiu gave him ten taels of silver and felt so heartbroken that he almost fainted.
