In her previous life, after the tragic deaths of her younger brother and mother, Chu Chunxi lingered on until she was fifteen years old. Finally, she was taken back to the mansion, and everyone thought that they had finally found their conscience. However, who knew that her scumbag father would use her as a favor and give her to a second-rank official in his sixties as a concubine. The one who accompanied her until the end was her lover.

In order to protect her, Hongfen was abused to death by the old man. She not only failed to earn the last straw mat but was also fed to dogs. In the end, Chu Chunxi could not bear the humiliation and hanged herself.

In the previous life, there were these few people in front of me, and a few other servants who were loyal to their master, but they all died a miserable death in the end.

Thinking of this, Chu Chunxi's expression suddenly became very serious, her eyes were sharp, and after a while, they were slowly filled with tears, which made the four servants facing her and her wife stunned.

The light was dim, making the tears on the young lady's face shine brightly.

How could this be the expression of an eight-year-old child? His eyes looked like a female general who was about to gallop into the battlefield and kill countless people, and at other times, like a child who had experienced many vicissitudes of life and suffered a lot. Why did he show such unbearable pity for them in the end?

"You are all the people that this lady and General Jing's Mansion trust the most. What the young lady and I have to say is very important and urgent. It concerns the lives of you, me, and everyone in the General's Mansion. You don't need to investigate the reasons, but you must handle each and every matter seriously."

When the lady said this, her expression was even more serious than the young lady's just now, and she was no longer as gentle as usual. Her tone was calm and resounding. The last sentence frightened them, and the four of them nodded in agreement.

Chu Chunxi looked at her mother, then turned away without a smile. She made arrangements in an orderly manner, "Mother Mi, go get Guard Cao right away, and then have the coachman wait at the gate. In two quarters of an hour, Sister Xi and mother will be leaving for the General's Mansion."

Seeing that Aunt Mi was a little stunned, although the lady wanted to speak, she was still a little unaccustomed to the young lady's orders and doubted the authenticity of her words. Chu Chunxi added: "Try not to alarm the other people in the mansion!"

Aunt Mi looked at the serious-looking young lady. She had watched her since she was a child. She was usually soft and sweet, and her words were always sweet and innocent. Sometimes she was even thoughtless. Where had she ever seen her talk like this? Her tone and eyes were wrong!

She looked at the lady who nodded affirmatively at her, and knew that the matter was urgent and related to the General's Mansion. She nodded and went out immediately. Although she was only in her forties, her steps were very hurried and she stumbled when crossing the threshold and almost fell.

"Aunt Ziyi, have Uncle Huang's family of four, along with Dongzi, immediately clear out that small house in the east of the city and prepare to relocate people. Leave Dongzi alone there to guard it, while Uncle Huang's family goes to Qingshan Manor, a hundred miles north of the city, to wait."

After Chu Chunxi finished speaking, she stuffed a few silver bills into Ziyi's hands, which amounted to several hundred taels. These were all the private savings she had saved. Although she was anxious when she woke up just now, she did not forget to take her most valuable things with her. Now she didn't have to open her mother's warehouse immediately to get them.

Jing Qiurong remained silent. Looking at the people her daughter had chosen, she agreed in her heart.

Now she is convinced that the fairy aunt exists. If she is asked to find some people she can absolutely trust, they will be these few. Her daughter is so young, and she would not be able to judge people well under normal circumstances, so it is impossible for her to have such a scheme.

The house in the east of the city and the farm were both registered under the daughter's name. They were birthday gifts prepared for her by her grandfather and three uncles when Xi Jie'er was six years old. Only her roommates knew the exact location, not even Chu Xuan.

The Fairy Aunt was indeed good, and her idea coincided with hers. Jing Qiurong couldn't help but nodded again.

Chu Chunxi clearly remembered who had sworn to death to support her family in her previous life. As for those who had followed them to the village in their previous life and then tampered with them, betraying their masters for personal gain, she had ruled them out.

After saying that, without waiting for Zi Yi to speak, Chu Chunxi waved her hand and let her go out, and said in a little adult manner: "Come back as soon as you finish the arrangements."

Turning around, he said to Qingyi, "Aunt, go open mother's storeroom and wait at the door. I'll be there soon."

Qingyi no longer had any hesitation. She did whatever the young master said and walked towards the warehouse at the back.

Chu Chunxi finally looked at Hongfen and said, "Sister Hongfen, go find a maid named Hongying in the kitchen and bring her to my brother's room. Ask her and the servant in my brother's room to call him Brother Wang. The three of you should protect my brother closely and stay in the yard. Don't go anywhere. Don't make any mistakes.

There is also a tall maid named Shaya who sweeps the floor in the courtyard. Let her wait at the gatehouse and go with us to the General's Mansion later."

That silly girl was born with supernatural powers. Although she was a bit simple, she was very loyal. It was only when she came to the farm with them in her previous life that we knew she had such brute force.

Hongfen responded and went out. After all, she was young and had not experienced anything serious. When she walked, she was a little clumsy and almost tripped. She was still scared.

She didn't understand why the young lady had suddenly changed so much. Moreover, there were so many servants in the young lady and the young master's room, why did they only pick her and those few? Weren't those who were used to serving good people good enough? And she knew that silly girl. She was strong, but she was clumsy. What could she do?

Chu Chunxi finally turned around and said to his mother, "Mother, when Guard Cao arrives, have him pick out a few men who are absolutely loyal to the General's Mansion and to you. Go to the horse market and buy a few good horses. Buy the strongest and largest carriage, but try to make it simple and unobtrusive. A gray oilcloth awning would be best, so it looks like an ordinary merchant's carriage.

Buy another cart, preferably an old one, but also choose a big and sturdy one, and put two or three thick quilts on it.

Have them buy some food that's filling and easy to store, and clothes and bedding that are suitable for ordinary people, and two rolls of oilcloth to protect them from the wind and rain. Also, buy more medicinal herbs for grandparents to use during their exile, and then have them wait at the house east of the city."

In the previous life, after my grandfather was exiled, he was punished with caning due to his old age and frailty. Unfortunately, he became infected during the exile and died before reaching Lingnan. Therefore, many people died.

Chu Chunxi only found out about this after he returned to Beijing. In this life, Chu Chunxi wanted to protect his maternal grandfather's family.

"Also, have them go to the pork shop and order a few slaughtered pigs, as well as chickens, ducks, fish, and vegetables. Have them prepare more and bring them to the kitchen of the house first."

"The most important thing is that the shop and farm in mother's dowry cannot be kept. You should ask Guard Cao to find a way to sell them as soon as possible today." Chu Chunxi said this in a serious manner, as if he was asking someone to buy some vegetables on the street.

Even without his daughter telling him about this, Jing Qiurong knew that he had to do this. They would need a large amount of silver in the future, and they might not be able to keep the farm and shop. However, they couldn't do it openly now because it was so urgent, and they would definitely not be able to find a good buyer. They would have to sell it at a low price, which was a pity.
