An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

"Cousin, do you want to go into exile with me? Absolutely not."

Zhou Wei was no less surprised than Jing Qiurong had been that morning, and he was also a little anxious. "My cousin must be crazy to have such an idea, thinking exile is just playing house!" My cousin was intelligent, but she was also a bit too conceited. With her small frame, tiny arms and legs, not only would he have to stop her on the way to exile, but I'm afraid the old general and the old lady wouldn't allow her to take such a risk either.

"I have discussed this matter with my mother. Don't worry, Uncle Zhou. I will protect myself well. Just like Uncle Zhou, I am determined to protect Grandpa and Grandma along the way."

"But..." Zhou Wei hesitated to speak, but seeing that the eldest lady and cousin both looked determined, he didn't dare to say it: I'm afraid that if the cousin goes, she will become a burden. More serious words than this kept turning around in his mind, but in the end he didn't say them out loud.

Because both the old lady and the third master said that from now on, matters in the capital should be arranged according to the eldest lady's arrangements. He had just expressed his loyalty, and it would be wrong to go back on his word and disobey his master.

The mother and daughter could hear Zhou Wei's thoughts, but time didn't allow them to discuss them in detail, so they could only let his words die in the womb. Chu Chunxi said, "Uncle Zhou, please tell my eldest uncle that there is a gold vein in the area around Cangwu Prefecture in Lingnan."

Jing Qiurong was stunned this time, unable to react for a long time. Zhou Wei was the one with the biggest mouth open: "Lingnan is a remote place with high mountains and distant emperors. How did this cousin know about this?" Even the Marquis' Mansion shouldn't have such magical powers.

This was actually something she overheard after being forced to marry the old second-rank official in her previous life. At that time, the imperial court had already organized mining, and it was said that a lot of labor was conscripted and many officers and soldiers were transferred there.

In other words, the imperial court probably discovered the gold vein six or seven years later.

Zhou Wei: If the master could escape safely, he would definitely bring a lot of followers with him. I think the incident happened so suddenly that he must not have thought of a good place to go. Instead of hiding here and there, it would be better to give him a hint in the letter. The dog emperor would definitely not think that they would follow him to Lingnan where there are so many miasma and poisonous insects. He must think that they will continue to lurk in the Western Regions - the base of their Jingjia Army, or hide near the capital and wait for a rebellion.

Zhou Wei: "Land of Exile..."

The cousin said she wanted to go into exile with him, and Zhou Wei wanted to persuade her again, otherwise he would feel sorry for the old general and the two masters in the mansion.

Chu Chunxi didn't give him a chance to dissuade him. "Uncle Zhou, please don't try to dissuade me. We have to go back to the Marquis' Mansion. You should do as my mother and I said. First, sort out your thoughts and make arrangements. We can discuss anything in detail when we come back tonight."

Zhou Qiurong didn't let him continue and made the final decision: "Assign the other guard captains to do it!"

Zhou Ping: It seems that the arrangements for this trip could be more thorough. We must protect this little ancestor well! My cousin is so smart, it would be a pity if she died on the road.

What did my cousin just say? Should I discuss this with him tonight? Her family's house was raided, and the Marquis's Mansion still let them out in the middle of the night!

My cousin is so naive.

……

When they stepped into the gate of Pingyang Marquis' Mansion again, the mother and daughter's steps were unusually firm, and their gestures and steps were more synchronized than ever before.

The red glow in the sky had completely dissipated, and the sun had risen almost to mid-sky. The autumn sunlight shone on them, but they did not feel a trace of warmth. They did not dare to imagine what the current situation in General Jing's mansion was like. They only knew that no matter how miserable it was, it could not be worse than in their previous life.

Don't confront the imperial guards head-on, and don't take anything away. This is the basis of the Jing family's security. Jing Qiurong has already reminded her mother and third brother of this, and hopes they can listen.

In the Chaoxia Courtyard, Qingyi and Ziyi were nowhere to be seen. Aunt Mi had already prepared breakfast for them in the flower hall. Having followed Jing Chunrong for more than twenty years, she was a very experienced woman. Now Aunt Mi was extremely calm, although a little solemn. Suddenly, she saw that her two masters seemed to have regained their backbone, and her eyes were shining. She hurriedly greeted them.

"Madam, Miss, please sit down quickly and have a few bites." Then he busied himself with scooping porridge for them.

"Mother Mi, from today on, you should call me Miss."

Aunt Mi's spoon shook, spilling some porridge onto the table, her eyes a bit dazed. The lady looked calm, not as flustered as she had been this morning, but the address made Aunt Mi's eyes darken. She nodded without saying anything, and just like she had done back then, she called out, "Miss."

Qingyi and Ziyi came out from the inner room when they heard the sound, but they didn't say anything. They knew very well what calling someone a girl meant, but they didn't have the slightest intention of trying to persuade them.

After everything in the house was cleared away, the three of them were busy helping them scoop out porridge and serve them dishes, just wanting them to have a good bite. Everything was in action.

"Mother, sister, where have you been? Pu Ge'er has been waiting for you for a long time." The soft and sticky little dumpling had no wet nurse to serve him and no one was following him, but he didn't cry or make a fuss. He rushed forward when he saw the two of them.

Qingyi quickly explained, "We asked Brother Wang, Hongying, and Hongfen to go back and pack up some things in the young lady and the young master's room. They will come over as soon as they are done."

Jing Qiurong and Chu Chunxi both nodded, saying that this was the right thing to do. It would save them from having to go out and buy more things if they could pack up a little.

Little Tuanzi must have eaten quite a bit, as his belly was already swollen. He had just taken a large bun and was hiding somewhere, chewing on it for fun, and only came out when he heard his sister and mother's voices.

This time he didn't stick to his mother, but put the buns on the table, pounced on his sister and almost hung on her body. He liked his sister the most, and his sister loved him the most. She gave in to him in everything and gave him the best things.

Even if he didn't rush over, Chu Chunxi would have rushed over and hugged him tightly. In her previous life, her brother only lived to the age of eight. He was pushed into the village fish pond by a traitorous servant and drowned. When he was brought out, he was already dead. On that cold winter day, his body was wet and almost frozen. At that time, she cried her heart out.

So much so that for many years afterwards, whenever she thought of her brother on a cold winter day, she would shiver all over and feel cold to the bone.

"Pu Ge'er loves his sister the most." His voice was crisp, his chubby body was clumsy and cute, and his smile was sweet.

"Sister, I'm the same. I like my brother and mother." Chu Chunxi wanted to cry.

What happened to his sister today? She hugged him too tightly, and not too tightly, but pressed her cheek against his as if she was crying or not. Pu Ge'er's flesh was a little painful.

The younger brother, Chu Qingpu, was naughty and sweet-talking, but he usually listened to Chu Chunxi. Seeing the two siblings clinging to each other, Pu Ge chuckled again. Zi Yi quickly grabbed him, and Mi Mama took the opportunity to feed him a mouthful of porridge. The little boy's speech became slurred, so he didn't have to disturb the young lady's meal.

The two felt relieved to see their younger brother.

Jing Qiurong: It’s great to have both a son and a daughter in this life.

Chu Chunxi: Fortunately, everything is still in time, my mother and brother are still alive.

"Have you guys eaten?" Jing Qiurong asked with concern, and picked up the chopsticks handed to her by Qingyi.

"I was worried that the young lady would have something to tell me later, so the old slave and the two of them quickly had a full meal."

As Aunt Mi spoke, she looked at their girl with a worried look on her face. The three servants all had serious expressions, knowing that something must be wrong in the General's Mansion.

"Something happened at General Jing's mansion. We can't stay in the Marquis' Mansion. Have you thought it through? If you want to be free, we will sell you the indentures later. Considering your loyalty and years of serving us, the living expenses will be 200 taels each..."

Hearing Jing Qiurong's calm words, which didn't sound like a lie at all, the three of them knelt down with a plop. In the past, the servants in the mansion were all given five taels of silver for shelter, and even the stewards who were favored could only get twenty taels at most. Giving them so much was such a great favor! Usually, the young lady treated them well, and they were not ungrateful. They all remembered it in their hearts!
