Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, I have a treasure chest so I don't have to wo

"How is that possible?" The Qin family naturally didn't believe that there would be a high-ranking official from the capital in their remote place.

Village chief Qin remained silent, because he knew that the Minister of Agriculture was in the Xu family, but he discovered it by accident.

The people in the gambling house naturally didn't bother to explain. They threatened the Qin family's eldest grandson with his hands, and they signed the IOU unwillingly.

The Qin family looked dejected. Seeing the people from the gambling house dragging Qin Xianglan away like a dead dog, old Mrs. Qin couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Bao, which family is the Zuo family in Jingcheng?"

"Hello player, the Zuo family is the maiden family of the current Madam Jiang."

"It's her. It's interesting that Jiang Yan would play this trick." Xu Ning gave Jiang Yan a thumbs up in his heart. It seemed that Jiang Yan really hated his stepmother.

"Jiang Yi, is there any news from the capital?" Jiang Yan asked about things in the capital after Jiang Yi returned to the carriage.

"My Lord, Jiang Er sent me news this morning that after General Pei brought the person back, the woman got really angry."

"anything else."

"General Pei reported the incident to the court. Your father was fined one year's salary, demoted one rank, and ordered to stay at home for half a year. Because the woman was not a good person, she was slapped by your father and her housekeeper rights were taken away."

"Oh, now he has taken back the stewardship?"

"Yes, master."

Jiang Yan's mouth twitched slightly, his eyes full of sarcasm. His good father and stepmother, this was just the beginning.

"Let the people below take action now."

"Yes." A response came from the corner of the carriage, and soon a figure flashed by.

In the carriage at the back, Pei Jiao had her eyes closed but had not yet fallen asleep, so she naturally heard Jiang Yan's instructions. She felt very warmed in her heart, as she knew that this was a gift from her cousin for her return to Beijing.

At the Zuo family in the capital, Zuo Jing returned to her parents' home disguised as a maid. Before she could say anything, she was scolded by her biological parents.

Zuo Jing's face looked very ugly. She was about to say something, but suddenly she felt as disgusted as if she had eaten shit.

She did all this for them, but now that she has run into trouble, these people are starting to bully her.

"Since you don't welcome me back, I'd better leave." Zuo's father and mother seemed to have just noticed their daughter's gloomy face and hurriedly grabbed her. Zuo's mother rushed to say, "Tell me what we should do from now on! Today, I went out on the street and was scolded by a shrew!"

"I remember that bitch, wasn't she the wife of a third-rank general? She actually dared to scold me, if not..."

"Enough! Let's talk about business!" Zuo's father interrupted Zuo's mother. Zuo's mother glared at him and obediently didn't say anything else.

"My dear son-in-law, you are such a fool. You actually got demoted, but you didn't let anyone mention your family. Your eldest brother has been stuck at the fourth rank for the past few years. If he had been promoted, how could your mother be bullied by a third rank imperial lady?"

"That's right!" Zuo's mother was still beside him, responding to Zuo's father.

Zuo Jing was so angry that she almost vomited blood after hearing this. She kept convincing herself that these were her biological parents and only then did she hold back from cursing.

What do you mean they didn't mention it? If they had mentioned the Zuo family under the circumstances, wouldn't that have told everyone what they were thinking?

Zuo Jing endured it again and again, "Dad and Mom, can't you feel sorry for me? My husband is already like this, and you don't think about how to help, but just want to promote big brother. Is now a good time to promote big brother?!"

"There is always a time when we can't be promoted! When someone is demoted, someone else will be promoted!" Zuo Jing's elder brother Zuo Si suddenly spoke up, and Zuo Jing didn't even notice how he appeared.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is what her eldest brother meant.

Her elder brother actually coveted her husband's official position!!!
