Quick Wear Dream Qiqi
Chapter 44: The Ancient Exile Control Group 2
Meng Qiqi and the others didn't have to wait long before they were summoned into the house by the old lady.
Meng Qiqi waited until Meng Tingting and Meng Yuanyuan had paid their respects before it was her turn to pay her respects.
"Morning moon and cool breeze, Qiqi wishes Grandma good morning. May you be safe, happy and always smiling."
The old lady, with a hint of majesty on her face, sat on the chair above and said, "Well, since you have all paid your respects, I won't keep you for breakfast. Go back!"
"Yes, Grandma!": The three said in unison.
After Meng Qiqi left the old lady's courtyard, she didn't say anything else to the other two.
After returning to their own courtyard, the maids began to prepare breakfast.
She looked at the breakfast on the table, which consisted of one meat dish, one vegetable dish and one soup, and did not show any dissatisfaction like the original owner.
This is the share that each of the concubines' daughters receives in the general's mansion. It's not much, but it's not too little either.
After breakfast, a man counted the original owner's assets in the room. The original owner had saved 1,300 taels of silver since he was a child, plus the 3,500 taels of silver from the original owner's concubine, a total of 4,800 taels of silver.
No matter what, the General's Mansion would not swallow up the assets of a concubine, so the original owner retained the assets of the concubine.
Of course, there are also two sets of storefront headdresses and scattered jewelry.
After making a plan in her mind, she left the general's mansion with a maid.
Meng Qiqi came to the street and saw people coming and going, merchants gathered, and it was bustling and prosperous.
There was an endless stream of peddlers and hawkers, and the sound of them hawking all kinds of goods could be heard in my ears. Horse-drawn carriages moved slowly along in groups of three or two.
From time to time, you can see people from various industries coming and going on the streets, such as blacksmiths, shoemakers, tailors, etc. They pull goods, drive donkeys, and sell their skills.
Meng Qiqi could see them setting out various small items on the street stalls, selling their goods.
The atmosphere in the capital city was indeed lively and harmonious. The carriages of the nobles and the pedestrians of the common people moved in an orderly manner. The shop signs swayed in the wind, and all kinds of hawking sounds intertwined.
The prosperity and splendor of the scene is so overwhelming that it is hard to take in the sight. The streets and alleys are bustling with people, like a flowing river.
However, Meng Qiqi left the General's Mansion mainly to purchase supplies.
First, I ordered more than 20 sets of coarse cotton plain jackets and skirts, jackets and thick-soled cloth shoes, a dozen sets of soft and elegant plain skirt suits and embroidered shoes, and more than 40 pairs of cotton socks from the garment shop.
Then, order a large amount of meals and simple staple foods at the restaurant, including various white flour buns, dumplings, and pancakes.
When Meng Qiqi bought these, she went to the shop owner alone without bringing her maid with her.
She ordered a series of various daily necessities before returning to the general's mansion with her maid.
In the next few days, because she put up an ignore talisman and received the goods alone at the back door of the general's mansion, the people in the general's mansion did not notice her unusual behavior.
Of course, she was not idle when she was in the general's mansion, and she knew the locations of several warehouses in the general's mansion.
Meng Qiqi saved all the information into her space the day before she was about to search the house.
These gold, silver and treasures are enough for her to live a leisurely life in this world.
Soon, it was the night before the house search. Meng Qiqi waited until late at night and put ignore talismans, invisibility talismans, and wall-penetration talismans on herself.
A person walked around the general's mansion in a swaggering manner, and all the warehouses in the general's mansion were cleaned out by her.
Afterwards, he visited the old lady's private vault, the original owner's stepfather's private vault, and the stepmother's private vault.
Anyway, they couldn't take it away in the end, so it would be better for her to get it off than for the emperor.
As for other people’s private vaults, forget it; just looking for them is a hassle.
However, just after Meng Qiqi collected the gold, silver and treasures from the General's Mansion, she discovered the two brightest stars in the night sky coming towards the General's Mansion.
She returned to her room thoughtfully, and would wait and see what happened tomorrow before making any conclusions.
In the early morning, the people in the general's mansion were surrounded and their property was searched by the emperor before they even realized that their assets were missing.
Meng Qiqi got up early in the morning and got herself ready. When she saw the guards breaking into the room, she did not resist and quietly followed them to a gathering place.
Soon, other people from the general's mansion were brought out one after another by the imperial guards.
Meng Qiqi watched all this coldly, without a ripple in her heart.
She noticed something strange about Meng Tingting and Meng Yuanyuan. After spending more than a month with them, they were obviously not in good shape.
Moreover, there were unusual souls floating around in the two of them, and Meng Qiqi guessed that they might have changed their cores.
The leader of the Imperial Guard stepped forward and announced the emperor's order to take away everyone in the general's mansion for interrogation.
At this moment, Meng Tingting suddenly shouted, "They're filming here, right? Where's the camera?"
Meng Yuanyuan also whispered in agreement: "It may be a movie, but this is too real!"
Meng Yuanyuan felt that she must be dreaming, otherwise why would he rush into the room and push her out as soon as she woke up.
Meng Qiqi was shocked. She didn't expect these two people to react like this.
But she quickly calmed down and continued to hide her presence.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that there is irrefutable evidence that the General's Mansion is colluding with a neighboring country. All male members of the Mansion and the General's wife will be paraded through the streets at noon and then beheaded. The rest will be exiled to the desert."
The third-rank general, the original owner's adopted father, was retorting, "What evidence do you have? How dare you, leader of the Imperial Guards, surround the General's Mansion!"
The leader of the Royal Guards looked at Meng Qiqi's adoptive father and said, "No matter what, you have to come with us." He waved his hand to signal his men to take everyone away.
At this moment, the old lady of the general's mansion couldn't bear the heartache and ran out to make trouble.
The whole person seemed to be crazy, saying "What a sin! What a sin!"
After a while, the old lady suddenly fell to the ground and there was no more movement.
Meng Tingting and Meng Yuanyuan watched all this in amazement. They could never have imagined that the person who was full of energy just now would die the next second!
Meng Tingting was puzzled. She came to Meng Yuanyuan and asked, "Who are you? Are you fashionable?"
"Is it a city or not?" Meng Yuanyuan replied.
The two looked at each other and felt relieved. They were fellow villagers!
However, there was no time for the two of them to continue reminiscing about the past.
The people in the general's mansion were taken away one by one by the imperial guards and thrown into prison.
Not long after, my adoptive father, stepmother, and other male members of the family were taken away by the imperial guards.
It was not until the afternoon that Meng Qiqi and the others were shackled and the imperial guards handed them over to the yamen runners in charge of exiles.
In addition to the people from the general's mansion, people from other mansions were also exiled to the desert.
After the yamen runners took this group of exiled people out of the capital, they were not as nervous as they were when they were in the capital.
Meng Qiqi walked behind Meng Tingting and Meng Yuanyuan, listening to them talking in unison.
It feels sad that the two of them haven't realized the cruelty of reality yet and are still chatting here.
