Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

My third sister-in-law, Qin Qing, was the only daughter of Qin Yue, a wealthy man in the capital. Soon after marrying into the Shen family, she gave birth to a six-year-old son named Shen Jintang.

Now, Shen Jintang is the only male left in the Shen family.

Merchants, though wealthy, have no status. Fortunately, the old couple were well-informed. After learning that the Shen family was in trouble, they hurried to visit.

They couldn't help much, so they had to carry two baskets of food and secretly slip in five thousand taels of silver. They wanted their daughter and grandson to be well fed and clothed during their journey. But they couldn't give too much money, for fear of bringing unnecessary disaster.

After exchanging pleasantries with their daughter, Qin and Yue felt heavy-hearted and couldn't hold back their tears. They repeatedly gave their daughter instructions and wanted to hug their adorable grandson, but were driven away by the soldiers escorting them.

The poor old couple could only stand by the roadside and watch the Shen family's exile team go farther and farther away until the team disappeared from their sight.

The relatives of the other sisters-in-law did not come. Perhaps they had not received the news yet, or they had abandoned their daughter, or they were implicated. Shen Qingge did not know. She just looked at the sisters-in-law with different expressions and worried faces.

As time went on, more and more people gathered on both sides of the street, and the situation became increasingly chaotic.

Fortunately, General Li Ren was a person in charge. He was afraid that too many people would cause riots and complications, so he ordered his men to forcibly disperse the people on the roadside and urged the Shen family members to speed up and move forward quickly.

Half an hour later, the exile team escorting the Shen family arrived at the foot of the city gate.

Looking at the towering city gate, the sisters-in-law finally couldn't hold it in anymore and started crying with their faces covered.

They stopped and looked back. From now on, the prosperity of the capital city had nothing to do with them. The road ahead was difficult and dangerous, and their life and death were uncertain. They didn't know if they would ever return!

But at this moment, being sad is of no use.

Shen Qingge stepped forward and encouraged her family: "Sisters-in-law, don't be sad. Now that things have come to this, our Shen family can only unite as one and overcome this difficult time together!"

"My little sister is right. What's the use of being sad?" Sister-in-law Zhang Lan was the first to wipe the tears from her face and strode forward without looking back.

A group of people passed through the city gate and came to the open space outside the city gate.

To everyone's surprise, in addition to the officers responsible for escorting them, there were also prisoners who were exiled like them.

These exiled prisoners, like a group of frightened sheep, stood in a group, apparently also exiled as a family. Moreover, although they were covered in dust and looked like they had been dug out of the earth, it was not difficult to tell from their clothes that they were all high-ranking officials of high status.

It seems that this time the Shen family's treason has implicated more than one family!

Shen Qingge smiled coldly. This was indeed Xiao Mo's style. Whether it was eliminating dissidents or getting rid of someone after he had done his job, he used his political scheming to the fullest extent.

What is strange is that this group of exiled prisoners are obviously hostile to the Shen family, and many of them cast hateful glances at them without any concealment.

Some even started cursing in a rather unmannerly manner, "Shen family, I curse your entire family to an unhappy death!"

"If it weren't for that old scoundrel Shen Xiaolin who betrayed his master for personal gain, how could our Wu family have fallen to this point..."

"It's really unlucky. The Shen family is not worthy of traveling with us. They should be cut into pieces and fed to the dogs!"

They cursed more and more, with no intention of stopping at all, until the police came out to stop them, and then their voices became much quieter.

The Shen family all wore helpless expressions, staring blankly at everything that was happening before their eyes. After all, they were all women, usually staying at home and rarely coming into contact with the people in the court, so naturally they didn't know many people.

They still didn't know what happened to their father and brother's sudden departure, let alone why these people were scolding the Shen family.

At this moment, my grandmother, unable to bear the insults, suddenly felt dizzy and her body leaned forward involuntarily.

Seeing this, the second and fourth sisters-in-law hurried forward to support my grandmother. They asked her if she was okay and tried to get her to sit down and rest for a while.

Shen Qingge also looked at his grandmother with concern. After confirming that she was okay, he came to his senses and continued to observe the group of people in front of him.

Facing the insults and hostility from these people, she did not feel the slightest fear in her heart, but instead felt a hint of amusement. With these people around, she would not be lonely on the road of exile, and she would slowly find out what kind of grudge these people had with the Shen family!

Then, she suddenly realized that she was not the only one having fun.

There is a pair of deep eyes, watching everything in front of him with amusement.

Shen Qingge followed the gaze and saw a carriage parked not far from the exile team.

The carriage was pulled by two brown horses, their hair as soft as silk and their eyes bright and sharp, they were obviously good horses. Each horse was equipped with gorgeous harnesses, which was very luxurious.

The body of the carriage is made of black nanmu wood, which is sturdy and strong. It is wrapped in expensive and exquisite dark blue silk, embroidered with exquisite patterns and designs.

The windows were covered with thin gauze curtains, which fluttered gently in the wind. Golden bells hung outside the carriage, and when the breeze blew, they made a clear and melodious sound, like water drops falling into a spring.

Next to the car, there was a row of guards standing in an orderly manner. They were all tall and burly, wearing the same black uniform and holding sharp blades. They looked so majestic that people dared not approach them easily.

Behind the carriage was a string of carts, each loaded with ten wooden boxes. These boxes looked heavy and sturdy, as if they were filled with precious items.

Beside the carts stood a group of maids and servants. They looked respectful and carefully guarded the carts, fearing that anything might go wrong.

In the carriage, a young man of about seventeen or eighteen was lifting the curtain, holding his chin with one hand, looking very comfortable.

He had sharp features, a pale face that was almost sickly, and long, dark hair tied up high. Beneath his slanted, sharp eyebrows lay a pair of slender, peach-shaped eyes, their deep, dark pupils fixed directly on Shen Qingge. Beneath his high nose bridge, the corners of his lips, of just the right thickness, curled in a playful smile...

A hint of displeasure flashed across Shen Qingge's eyes. "Where did this lecher come from?"

But she immediately became suspicious of the man's identity.

Although only his face was revealed, one could tell he had a noble temperament. Coupled with the extravagant decoration of his carriage, and the presence of guards and servants, his status must be extremely high.

But aristocratic families have no right to use the royal exclusive dark blue silk on carriages. Could he be a prince?

But if he was a prince, then Shen Qingge must have seen him, but she hadn't! Moreover, he was obviously not going into exile with them.

Who is this person and why is he traveling with them?

His identity was like a mystery, which made Shen Qingge confused and curious at the same time.
