Confiscated property and exiled? I and the charlatan prince are competing against each other

Chapter 63 The Strangeness of the Servant in Prince Chen's Mansion

Obviously, the meat was not as delicately prepared as their usual meals, but for some reason, it tasted better and better the more they ate.

Shi Henian was watching with great interest.

In particular, he found that the officials had already collected more than two thousand taels when he had only sold half a pot.

It would be great if he could do this job.

I noticed that the servants in Prince Chen's Mansion were sitting in the corner eating steamed bread and did not join the queue to buy meat.

Jiang Yining poked Shi Henian and asked curiously, "Don't you care about the people in Prince Chen's Mansion?"

She wasn't being kind-hearted; she was just genuinely curious.

Because since joining the exile team until now, Shi Henian has never paid any attention to those people from Prince Chen's Mansion.

If she ignored the Jiang family, it was because of Old Lady Jiang.

But why did Shi Henian ignore the people in Prince Chen's Mansion? After all, he was the master of the servants in Prince Chen's Mansion, and she would not be suppressed like she would if she stayed in the Jiang family.

"It's just under the name of Prince Chen's Mansion. I don't know which of my brothers he is a secret sentry." Shi Henian said bluntly without any scruples.

Jiang Yining was shocked: "All of them? Not even one of our own."

"Of course, there is no one who can go into exile with me." Shi Henian replied.

At the same time, he thought of Emperor Jing.

This crime of treason caught him off guard.

When he was summoned to the palace, he knelt in the imperial study, where only Shi Henian and Emperor Jing were present.

When Emperor Jingdi faced the crime of treason that his son was accused of, he remained calm and did not seem angry.

He just asked indifferently: "You said you were wronged, but do you know who framed you?"

Shi Henian shook his head: "I don't know."

Shi Henian really didn't know about it at that time. He was happily getting married, but who knew that he would be taken into the palace just after the wedding.

"Since you don't know, you have to admit your crime." Emperor Jing's emotions remained unchanged.

Without giving Shi Henian a chance to explain or clarify the matter, the imperial decree was issued to confiscate his property and exile him, and he was also beaten with a stick.

Shi Henian could feel that the original owner was hurt when facing Emperor Jing’s distrust.

The original owner fainted while being punished, and when he woke up again, he had become a different person.

After accepting the original owner's memory and reuniting with the exile team, Shi Henian discovered that there was something wrong with the exiled prisoners from Prince Chen's Mansion.

At least the people he trusted or knew were not in the exile team, and the servants in Prince Chen's Mansion who were exiled with him were all strangers.

Apart from Emperor Jing, Shi Henian could only think of his brothers who had the ability to cause such trouble.

I can't even recognize the whole face, let alone tell whether he is an enemy or a friend, so what's the point in recognizing each other?

Besides, he was no longer the Prince of Chen, and he only had forty-four taels of silver on him, while all the money in the family was managed by Jiang Yining.

With these forty-four taels, he could only buy two steamed buns made of mixed grains from the official. He could not even feed himself with it.

Anyway, Shi Henian is still here, even if the core has changed.

Like Shi Henian, Jiang Yining had never seen anyone familiar in the Prince Chen's Mansion, so he didn't have the energy to care about people he didn't even recognize.

This night was the best meal the exile team had.

Even the Jiang family couldn't help but spend their banknotes to buy two bowls of meat soup and three pieces of lean meat and one piece of fat meat.

The truth is that fatty meat is more expensive than lean meat and they can’t afford it.

The family shared two bowls of meat soup, but of course there was no portion for Jiang Baichuan.

As for the meat, Old Lady Jiang ate the fat piece, while the father and son from the first branch of the Jiang family were responsible for the three pieces of lean meat.

As the head of the eldest family, Jiang Kuohai felt it was his right to eat the meat.

As the second son of the eldest wife and favored by Old Madam Jiang, Jiang Congrui naturally got a share of all the good things.
