Is this going to be a big deal?

Qingyi felt his heart beat faster for no reason, feeling that something was really going to happen. He just felt that he should listen to the Madam and the Young Lady, so he ran out immediately, his footsteps heavy and staggering.

"Mom will go find the Marquis right away..." Jing Qiurong was a little anxious. She pushed her daughter away and hurriedly put on her clothes. She even put on her sleeves incorrectly for the first time and did not doubt her daughter's words at all.

Chu Chunxi was anxious: "We can't look for them. The Marquis is also one of the culprits who impeached my grandfather."

Jing Qiurong's hand paused.

“Less than an hour after the general’s mansion was ransacked, my scumbag father obeyed the Marquis’ orders and took my brother and me to the farm.

Later, they will use the excuse of smoothing relations to cheat mother out of all her dowry. After embezzling mother's property, they will ignore us. In three months, the scumbag father will make Concubine Liu his wife..."

"what?"

After hearing her daughter say so much in one breath, Jing Qiurong, who had already stood up, fell heavily back onto the edge of the bed.

Her husband, Prince Chu Xuan of Pingyang, favored his concubines over his wife, spending nearly every night in his concubines' quarters. Of the three, Concubine Liu was the most favored, and her eldest son was only a few months younger than Sister Xi. To avoid worrying her parents, Jing Qiurong hid her bitterness from others, even downplaying it with her parents and brothers, never letting them visit.

Outsiders don't know Chu Xuan's character, but she knows it very well. Pingyang Hou and the old lady are afraid of the power of the General's Mansion and her eldest brother, so they have given her the dignity of a legal wife over the years. If they no longer have the support of General Jing's Mansion, it is indeed something that Pingyang Hou and Chu Xuan can do to get rid of her. However, she cannot tolerate kicking the Yue family when they are down and harming his children.

"Mom, hurry up. If we want our grandparents to be safe and sound, and for Pu Ge'er and I to not die a violent death, we must listen to the fairy aunt."

"A violent death?"

Just now, when her daughter said "he died miserably", she thought it was just a child's talk. But when she heard the words "died an unnatural death", her heart and body trembled, as if a needle was deeply inserted into her heart. She grabbed her daughter's arm tightly with her backhand, which made Chu Chunxi feel pain in her hand. However, Chu Chunxi did not say a word and let her mother vent her anger.

"Except for us and my grandparents, no one wants Pu Ge'er to take the throne."

Yes, Concubine Liu still has two illegitimate children! One is older than Pu Ge'er, and the other is only a year younger. I'm afraid there will be more in the future. If they leave this door, I'm afraid they won't come back alive! Even if Chu Xuan and the Marquis don't take action, Concubine Liu will definitely find a way to block their way back to the mansion. Letting them die is the best solution.

At this time, Jing Qiurong was completely sober, completely sober. As long as her family was involved, it would break her inner bottom line.

Normally, Sister Xi wouldn't be able to speak so many coherent words. How else could she explain it if it wasn't for Aunt Fairy's guidance? She finally relaxed her grip on Chu Chunxi's hand, but still asked anxiously, "Aunt Fairy, what did Aunt Fairy say?"

She woke up, but her nerves were a little confused. She couldn't think of a good solution. She suddenly felt that she and her children were surrounded by enemies on all sides, and felt the sadness of being left with no relatives to rely on.

"The Fairy Aunt said: General Jing's mansion will be sealed and confiscated soon. My grandparents and their family, except for children under ten, will be exiled to Lingnan tomorrow. As for the rest, Sister Xi will explain the details to Mother later."

"Exiled? What about Grandfather? Is he alright?"

Chu Chunxi finally breathed a sigh of relief when his mother realized the seriousness of the matter, and he didn't want to scare her anymore. It would not be a good thing if his mother fainted at this time.

"My grandfather was caned fifty times and carried back."

Fifty lashes? Even a young man would lose half his life. How could a father in his sixties bear it?

Jing Qiurong felt heavy-hearted, but she was also glad that at least the dog emperor still had some conscience and did not kill the whole family directly.

It’s good that people are still here, and now, there is still time to do some things.

"Then, then, let's go back right away!" Even though she had been meticulously raised by her family and had been the mistress of the Marquis's mansion for nearly a decade, she usually dealt with backyard chores and had been pampered. She had never imagined that something like this would happen to her. Jing Qiurong's mind was a whirlwind, like a million ants gnawing at her. She didn't know whether to wake Pu Ge'er or return to her parents' home first.

"Don't worry, mother. They will be here soon. Mother, just say some polite words to support your daughter. Sister Xi will arrange everything according to what the fairy aunt taught her."

I could have taught my mother and let her do it, but she really didn't have any more time.

After saying that, he hugged his mother's neck tightly and put his little face against hers, trying to warm her cold heart and make her feel at ease.

The mother and daughter both looked out of the dark house, praying that the sky would not lighten up so soon.

Nanny Mi and Ziyi both lived in the courtyard and arrived soon. Nanny was still wearing her coat, and both of them had messy and uncombed hair. They came over immediately after hearing the order.

As she walked, Ziyi whispered to Aunt Mi, "Could it be that the young lady or the young master is ill? Do you want me to go find the palace doctor first?"

Aunt Mi hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I'm afraid that's not the case. Let's talk about it after we see the lady."

If he was sick, he could just ask them to call someone. Why was there such a need to be so secretive? "Have you seen Qing Yi's expression?"

After listening to Aunt Mi's analysis, Zi Yi also felt that this was the case. She quickened her pace and passed Aunt Mi directly.

At this time, Jing Qiurong and Chu Chunxi had already tidied their clothes and were sitting closely together in the armchairs in the outer room.

Why is the young lady in the lady's room at this time? She doesn't look like she just woke up. It's strange, really strange.

Before Chu Chunxi arrived and separated from her mother, the small courtyard was also separated from the Chaoxia Courtyard, just a few steps away. Qingyi took her clothes and shoes and came over, accompanied by Hongfen, the head maid in Chu Chunxi's room.

Qingyi came in and helped the young lady put on her clothes. Ziyi also came up to help. Seeing Qingyi's flustered hands shaking a little, Ziyi's heart was in turmoil, and Aunt Mi's hands were clenched into a ball.

The fourteen-year-old Hongfen came in and immediately knelt down, thinking that Madam was here to accuse her. Her body trembled a little, "Madam, it was Greenfen who was on duty in the young lady's room tonight. She was young and probably slept a little soundly. She didn't realize the young lady was missing until Aunt Qingyi came over. She was afraid of being punished by Madam and started crying. I asked her to kneel outside. It's because Hongfen didn't discipline her properly. Please punish her."

"Hongfen, go back first."

Jing Qiurong didn't have time for such trivial matters right now. She just wanted to get this resolved quickly. Besides, her daughter had been in such a hurry, it was understandable that the maid hadn't noticed. She simply wanted to make sure the fewest people who knew about this, other than her closest confidants, knew about it. After all, the emperor hadn't issued an order yet! It wasn't easy to say that the incident was caused by her daughter's dream.

"Mother, let Hongfen stay too!"

Chu Chunxi was very sure when she said this. She pressed down her mother's hand that was pointing outside. Hongfen had just gotten up with a frustrated look on her face, thinking that the lady was angry about this matter. Now seeing that the lady had no objection to what the lady said, she was secretly glad that the lady had protected her, and a wave of gratitude surged in her heart.

He replied, "Yes," and immediately stepped back a few steps to stand behind Aunt Mi and the others, lowering his head respectfully but a little timidly.
