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

Chapter 7: When the nest is overturned, the eggs will not be intact

The morning light shines softly, street vendors have begun to hawk their wares, and the streets are peaceful.

Shen Qingge walked quickly, looking at the spacious mansion which was still majestic. The black plaque made of golden nanmu wood was still hanging in the center of the vermilion lacquer gate, with four large characters "Xuanping Marquis Mansion" inscribed in a flamboyant manner.

The gate of the mansion opens, revealing its splendor, so grand and solemn.

However, this solemnity and peace are about to be broken.

Shen Qingge couldn't help feeling sad, as if she was in another world, but she immediately adjusted her mood, greeted the guards at the gate cordially, and walked into the gate of the Marquis' Mansion despite the soldiers' surprised gazes.

It was still early at this time, and I guess my grandmother and sisters-in-law had not gotten up yet.

Shen Qingge didn't intend to disturb them immediately and let them have one last good sleep.

The storm is coming, the mountain is full of buildings, the dark clouds are pressing down on the city, and the city is about to be destroyed!

She did not stop, her eyes were firm and her purpose was clear as she walked through the familiar corridor and headed straight towards the treasury.

The treasury of the Marquis' Mansion was unattended. Shen Qingge stood in the courtyard and, after making sure that no one was around, slipped into the treasury and emptied it in no time.

During the emptying process, she saw clearly for the first time what the family treasury looked like.

She originally thought that the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, after decades of operation, should have some assets.

Who would have thought that apart from a very small number of antiques and paintings, all that was left were some colorful cloths, some food, weapons, a box of gold ingots, and five thousand taels of silver notes.

The once glorious Xuanping Marquis Mansion is so poor!

But even so, her father never treated her badly in terms of food, clothing and other expenses, and even gave her a beautiful wedding and enough face.

This made Shen Qingge even more excited. Even if there were few things in the mansion, he couldn't let irrelevant people take them away, not even a penny!

She walked around the yard again with emotion, and stopped when she reached the room where her mother had lived.

She slipped into the house and saw that it was spotless and all the items were displayed as usual. She couldn't help but shed tears. Then, she waved her hand and put all the items in the room into the space.

These things carry so much love, none of them can be missing!

Then, she remembered that the first-level warehouse in the space was full, so she immediately entered the space to check. She was afraid that the items in the marquis' mansion could not be stored.

However, when she went in, she saw the newly collected items neatly placed on the shelves.

Why is this?

She walked forward suspiciously and gently pushed the shelf, only to find that the space on the shelf could be folded, as if there was an isolation formation.

It turns out to be so mysterious. This jade pendant space is truly a treasure!

After leaving the space, she had to wake up her sleeping grandmother and sisters-in-law.

She planned to take advantage of the last possible moment to force her sisters-in-law to leave and dismiss as many servants in the mansion as possible.

She explained the matter, and the servants did not dare to offend this little ancestor, so they quickly ran to each courtyard to ask for help.

Shen Qingge, who had arranged everything, sat calmly in the main room in the front yard, enjoying cakes and tea, waiting for their arrival.

Half an incense stick later, the grandmother and sisters-in-law came hurriedly with suspicious faces. Everyone thought that some damned person had made their little ancestor "go crazy" again and ran back home in the early morning of the second day after the wedding!

When I entered the main room, I saw her sitting upright, as if she had become a different person. There were several letters on the table beside her, with the words "Divorce" written in large letters on the cover.

Her sisters-in-law, who usually loved her very much, could not stand it anymore. They picked up her "masterpiece" and asked her what she meant!

Shen Qingge was not angry. He glanced around and cautiously ordered the servants to close the door. Then he told everyone the news that shocked them:

"Grandmother, sisters-in-law, time is running out, so I'll make it short! My father and brother were falsely accused of treason and have both perished in the northern border. The emperor's decree to confiscate our property and exile us is on its way!"

In order to make it easier for her family to accept what she said, she had to say that everything was told to her by King Qin Xiao Mo, and it was absolutely true. After all, in the eyes of everyone, King Qin was a good son-in-law!

Sure enough, when everyone heard her, they all believed her words and were stunned for a moment.

My grandmother, who had always been weak, was so shocked that she almost fainted.

Wang Lan, the eldest sister-in-law who supported Grandmother, sneered, "The men of my Shen family are all loyal to their country and upright. How could they do such a thing as betraying their master for personal gain?"

"Haha, what a joke! The Marquis' Mansion is collaborating with the enemy and committing treason!"

"How could the Emperor be so blinded by slander, unable to distinguish between loyalty and treachery?"

……

The sisters-in-law were filled with righteous indignation and could not bear it for a while.

"Is there no room for reversal? Little sister, how about you go and beg the prince?"

"Yeah, go beg!"

Everyone looked at Shen Qingge, as if they saw a glimmer of hope for life.

Shen Qingge shook her head, "Sisters-in-law, give up! It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone. If someone wants to harm us, they must be determined to wipe out the Shen family. Even the prince is powerless to stop us!"

She couldn't explain in detail. The person who wanted to kill the Marquis' Mansion was none other than the Qin Wang Xiao Mo, whom they had been thinking about all the time. It would be useless to increase hatred at this time.

She turned to look at her grandmother and said, "Grandmother, a woman who has been divorced is no longer considered a member of our mansion. Although it may not sound pleasant, she will not be implicated and convicted. How about letting my sisters-in-law take the divorce papers and leave the mansion?"

Madam Shen pondered for a moment and said solemnly:

"Ge'er is right! You lost your husbands at such a young age and followed our Shen family into exile. The journey was difficult and dangerous. We don't even know if we can reach the southern barbarian land alive, let alone redress our wrongs. Our mansion cannot let you get into trouble. Take the divorce letter and the silver, and go live a peaceful life!"

At this time, the eldest sister-in-law Wang Lan was the first to speak: "When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact? Where can we go if we leave the Marquis' Mansion? Besides, I have to stay and protect my two children. How can I escape in the face of danger?"

The eldest sister-in-law, Wang Lan, is the daughter of Wang Shuo, who is under my father's command. She has a strong character and is the most humane. She is the most capable among the sisters-in-law.

"I won't leave either. I want to mourn for my husband!"

"I won't leave either..."

All the sisters-in-law were strong-willed and heroic women, and Shen Qingge burst into tears after hearing their stories.

"Little sister, what about you? You are the princess and the emperor's daughter-in-law. You don't have to suffer this punishment with us!" Second sister-in-law Ye Yurou asked with concern.

"Of course I won't leave either. I want to live and die with the Marquisate!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes were filled with pity.

"Ge'er, if you can live, why choose to die? Besides, can the prince release you?" Grandma's eyes were filled with tears.

"My father raised me with great difficulty, and the whole family loved me very much.

The Marquis' Mansion is my home. If I were to desert now, how would I face my father and brothers on their way to the underworld? I've made up my mind. Grandmother, there's no need to persuade me anymore. The prince has also made his decision!"

Shen Qingge told another white lie.

Grandmother took Shen Qingge's hand and said firmly, "Okay, then we will be a family and overcome this together!"

After that, each household seized the last moment to dismiss the servants who could be dismissed and hid the money that could be hidden...

Shen Qingge took advantage of the chaos and quietly collected all the food that could be collected in the kitchen.

Then, the whole family gathered in the main room.

As the sound of orderly footsteps came from the door, Shen Qingge took a deep breath: "Here they come!"
