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

This really stumped Li Ren!

He did suspect that the King of Qin had leaked the news to the Princess. But he quickly overturned this conclusion. If that were the case, everyone in the Marquis's residence would have known about the news long ago. Why would they have waited patiently for them to confiscate their property, rather than seeking justice before the Emperor or absconding?

Besides, the palace had just held a wedding yesterday, and there was nothing unusual about it. The only unusual thing was that Princess Shen returned to her parents' home on the first day of her marriage, which was unreasonable.

Even if the princess had rushed back this morning to tip off the government, how could a group of women, children and maids have emptied the treasury and the courtyard's property in such a short time?

After thinking about it, none of them make sense.

However, he still asked cautiously, "Why did the princess return to her parents' home on her first day after her wedding instead of enjoying the comforts of the palace?"

Shen Qingge was not to be outdone and once again used her tantrum: "Whoever wants to be the princess can be the princess! When the prince is not around, the servants will bully their master. They say that once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea, and I've experienced that. Since the prince doesn't like me, why should I stay in the palace..."

After saying this, she burst into tears without caring about her image.

The eldest sister-in-law Wang Lan said angrily: "Little sister, is that so? Did you come back because your brother-in-law bullied you? So that's how it is. Why did you bother to hide it from us! It's really a damn thing. All men are bad..."

The soldiers' hands holding their swords froze and they all looked at Li Ren.

Li Ren cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment. He looked at the young woman crying and thought that she must not be lying, and most of the doubts in his heart were reduced.

At this moment, a young eunuch came in with a letter in his hand.

He walked up to Li Ren, handed him the letter in a flattering manner, and whispered, "Your Excellency, this is the prince's letter of divorce!"

He saw Li Ren take it with both hands, straighten his body, and said arrogantly: "Shen Qingge is the daughter of a criminal. She behaves perversely and bullies the servants. She does not have the demeanor of a princess. She even damages the dignity of the royal family and is not worthy of entering the East Palace in the future. Therefore, the prince reluctantly wrote a letter of divorce and parted ways. I only hope that Madam Shen will live a good life in the future and devote herself to good deeds!"

Great, so you were waiting here!

Everyone in the front yard began to whisper. Some cast contemptuous glances at Shen Qingge, while others unabashedly looked on in amusement. Even some of the servants in the mansion, who had been treated harshly by Shen Qingge due to her temper and held a grudge against her, now showed signs of wanting to kick her when she was down.

Only the grandmother and the others looked at Shen Qingge with pity. The sisters-in-law gathered around and tried to comfort her.

But Shen Qingge felt very relieved. Although she was still crying sadly on the surface, she did not feel unhappy at all. This beast in human form, King Qin Xiao Mo, was really too lazy to pretend, but fortunately, he did a good thing and cleared her of the suspicion of "leaking information".

As expected, Li Ren dispelled all his doubts about her and looked at her with a look of pity. He now really believed that the Marquis's Mansion was not transferring the property, but was really poor, and Shen Qingge really did not come back to inform the public!

I never expected that the dignified Xuanping Marquis Mansion would be so poor and just an empty shell.

Seeing this, Shen Qingge struck while the iron was hot, took out two thousand taels of silver from his pocket, and quietly walked up to Li Ren:

"Sir, this is my private savings. My father gave it to me before he left for Mobei. He was afraid I'd be bullied after marrying into my husband's family. I don't have any more! You know, a divorced woman can't get her dowry back! Please be kind and spare the women and children of our Shen family!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Li Ren with resentful eyes, which was so pitiful that it made his scalp tingle.

So, he took the banknote, signaled his men to sheath their swords, and said, "Well, search carefully again!"

Finally, they found some jade, porcelain, and various valuable furniture made of golden nanmu and agarwood from each room, and then stopped the search.

The women of the Shen family gathered together at this time. They were all very grateful that the officers and soldiers did not search them. They still had some money on them so that they would not be penniless on the road to exile, which would be too difficult.

However, everyone was very puzzled, especially the grandmother. She was in charge of the family accounts and naturally knew what kind of treasures were in the treasury. How could it have been stolen?

Shen Qingge consoled him, "Perhaps a thief has secretly transported the Marquis's property away bit by bit! But, Grandmother, you don't have to feel sorry. If the family is confiscated and exiled, none of these valuables can be taken away."

After her advice, the grandmother felt much more relieved. She sighed deeply and said nothing more.

But only Shen Qingge knew in her heart that none of the belongings in the warehouse were missing, and they were all placed intact in her space!

At this time, Li Ren walked over and said to Grandmother, "Madam Shen, I have completed the task of confiscating your property. So, without further delay, let's get going! I will escort you to the city gate, and my mission will be completed. Please forgive me for any offense I may have caused you earlier!"

Grandmother could see that General Li Ren had no ill will towards the Shen family. During the raid on their property, he did not kill them. He allowed the whole family to travel in respectable attire. He also made an exception and did not put them in shackles. He only ordered people to put shackles on them, which was quite benevolent.

Therefore, without saying a word, she fell to her knees and bowed with her hands. The other family members also knelt down to express their gratitude.

Li Ren, shocked upon seeing this, helped his grandmother up. "Old Madam Shen, you are trying to embarrass me. I am a humble official with little influence and can't do much. I just hope you and your family take care on your journey!"

After saying this, Li Ren returned to his cold expression and escorted the group out of the Marquis' Mansion.

At this time, the people who responded to the call outside the Marquis' Mansion had already lined up in two rows.

The confused common people looked at him with contempt when they heard that the general they had always respected had actually collaborated with the enemy and betrayed his country, selling out his master for personal gain.

Some threw rotten vegetable leaves, some threw rotten eggs, and there were even some bad guys who picked up stones and threw them at them.

The officers and soldiers also drove them all the way. Shen Qingge protected her grandmother, and her sisters-in-law protected her nephews and nieces, and they moved forward with difficulty.

I can only sigh, the world is so fickle! However, I can't blame them, as people are easily instigated.

Shen Qingge dodged while thinking.

A middle-aged couple in luxurious clothes squeezed into the chaotic crowd.

When third sister-in-law Qin Qing saw the two of them, she rushed over regardless of everything. The three of them hugged each other and cried together.

Seeing this, Li Ren turned a blind eye and just scolded them twice, telling them to hurry up and not miss the time!
