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

The sister-in-law didn't shy away from the action, didn't make it public, and quietly helped the children of the entire clan. This was a noble act! Even their eldest sister-in-law was moved, but the clan members didn't appreciate it. They took advantage of the situation and acted ungratefully. Some even tried to turn the tables on them. It was truly heartbreaking.

There were no stories of married women from exiled families raising children for the entire clan. Without the support of their family, one only heard of children who fared terribly. Those who did well and were protected were lucky to have a few legitimate children, often secretly raised by their in-laws, who were reluctant to part with them and wanted to leave behind an heir. However, these children had little future and were not to be seen in public.

This means we have to raise more than twenty more, how much energy and money will it take!

Seeing that her three sisters-in-law had stepped forward to support her, Jing Qiurong gratefully touched the hands of her second sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law and said to them, "Thank you."

She even explained to them in a low voice, letting them know that she was not being overly kind: "On the road of exile, we cannot let our tribe members become alienated. Only by uniting can we survive." What her daughter told her was that unity is strength, and encountering wild beasts and bandits on the road of exile would be a help, which is the basis for survival.

Seeing that the person opposite her didn't even express any opinion, Madam Jing became impatient and finally said sternly, "Whether to go or stay, you can discuss it first. It's best to discuss it while my Qiu Rong is still here. She can make timely adjustments and other arrangements when she returns. We don't want her to be too kind.

There is nothing to fear from our Great General's Mansion, and we don't mind starting a new branch."

Jing Qiurong added, "I think you guys have support since you're making so much noise. You won't be short of food and clothing along the way. I'm actually worried about my parents! After all, my father has suffered so many serious injuries, and my mother is old. I don't feel so tired because they have to spend their money. I don't have to sell the shop to supplement their expenses."

Jing Qiurong saw that many people had come forward to confirm the child's handwriting. She was angry and didn't want to pay any attention to them.

He handed a few pieces of paper with too much ink on them, some of which were smudged and had crooked handwriting, to Jing Changning, motioning him to go and greet him.

He no longer wanted to see those tribesmen who were stunned, a little flattering, but actually skeptical. They were heartless and unfamiliar with him.

It was her daughter who suggested to Jing Qiurong that the children sign their names yesterday. At that time, she thought it was unnecessary and superfluous!

What a human heart! She had lived half her life, but she still couldn't think as clearly as her daughter.

Seeing that the people opposite had shut up, none of them spoke anymore. They helped the old lady find a high place to sit on the ground, and several people gathered around her, just a few steps away from Jing Yongcheng, so that the sister-in-law and her family could visit the old lady more often.

The time we have to stay here to say goodbye will not be too long, and it is really not worth wasting it on ungrateful tribesmen.

Pu Ge'er had been sitting obediently on the cart to accompany his grandfather. He talked to his grandfather in a soft and chewy sound with his little mouth, regardless of whether his grandfather was awake or could hear him.

Little glutinous rice dumpling Jing Mingzhu looked at her cousin with admiration: "Cousin Pu is really amazing. He can speak so many words in one breath without taking a break. I don't know if he is tired." If she were to speak, she would definitely stutter and no one would be able to understand what she said.

"Cousin Pu, would you like to play with us?" Jing Mingzhu asked him.

"Play?" Pu Ge'er was stunned. He looked at his skinny little cousin who looked no more than two years old and was a little speechless. "A three-year-old doesn't know anything. You're not going to play, you're going to exile. Do you understand exile? And as for you, your cousin... I'm grown up now and I have to stay home to protect Mom."

She patted her little chest loudly and showed it off proudly to her little cousin.

"Oh! No! It's not fun."

One of them felt that he was carrying a great mission and was complacent, while the other felt a little lost because he had lost a playmate.

When her aunt told Mingzhu that her family had suffered and she was being exiled, she didn't understand. She had never been outside the General's Mansion in her life, and aside from the men who had entered the mansion yesterday being aggressive and stealing things, everything else seemed fine. Even last night, sleeping in a dark cell with her aunt on her left and her mother on her right, along with so many people who loved her, she found such a life okay. She didn't like having to guard a large courtyard with just her aunt.

"You're all great, all good sons of the Jing family." Jing Yongcheng had already opened his eyes. He saw his daughter and granddaughter across from him, and could hear the voice of his grandson, who adored him deeply. He felt relieved. But his expression was melancholy, clearly disillusioned with his clansmen and uncertain about the future of the entire General's Mansion.

You have been a soldier all your life, but you were abandoned by the emperor. You feel very sad. You didn't expect that even your blood relatives would be like this. They change their attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.

Hearing him speak, everyone gathered around again. He looked at Jing Qiurong and said, "Rong'er, you all need to be well. Don't worry too much." His voice was a little choked up. He had never shed tears in the face of slaughter on the battlefield, but as an old father, he couldn't help but shed tears twice today.

The moment Dalang and his companions saw their aunt, cousins, and their group, they had already forgotten the hardships of exile. At least they hadn't been abandoned by everyone. Given their aunt's temperament, she would do her utmost to ensure they didn't go hungry. They were convinced of this. The people of the General's Mansion were not two-faced or undermining their own interests.

But they didn't expect that they would have to deal with this group of troublesome tribesmen as soon as they arrived. I wonder how much injustice my aunt had suffered before they arrived.

Once they get together, they don't talk. It takes a long time for them to hug each other and exchange a few words. Time spins like a top.

Second wife Yin's family was far away in Youzhou and they probably hadn't received the news yet, so naturally no one could come and see her off.

The first and third branches, Zhuang and Si, had both come to see them off. They had seen them being scolded by their clansmen from afar, but they didn't dare approach. They had seen countless examples of this in the capital. Often, many prominent families would become disloyal after one branch fell on hard times, eventually declining and vanishing from the capital.

Zhuang's father was a third-rank military officer who died in battle at an early age. She still has an elderly mother at home, and her two brothers and two sisters-in-law came to see her off; Si Yan was the youngest daughter in the family. Her father was the former chief academic officer of the Imperial College, and now he has retired. He occasionally accepts one or two closed disciples at home, and her brothers are all teachers who teach and educate people. Without anyone in the court, there are not so many concerns, but many people came and gathered together to pay their respects to the old general and his wife. One of them hugged his daughter (nephew) and cried bitterly. Both families brought more or less bags, mostly food and clothes, and some silver bills were also secretly given.

A few of Jing Yongcheng's former subordinates and Jing Changning's classmates also came. After giving some gifts and exchanging a few words, they left in a hurry. It was a big risk to come and see them off at this time, so being able to do so was already a gesture of loyalty and righteousness.

The back and forth delays amounted to quite a bit of time. The old lady, along with Jing Changning, the two daughters-in-law's relatives, thanked them and persuaded them to go back.

There were a few relatives from my second uncle's family who came to see them off, but the other two families were completely alone, not a single one of them was there to see them off, so they just watched them with indifference and envy.
