Madam Jing continued, "The road to exile is long. I doubt you all have any silver or banknotes on you. Although you're short on money and need to spend it frugally, you still have to spend it to save your life. Don't save money but end up in Lingnan alive."

You don't have any silver with you, and the officials won't treat you badly along the way. Now everyone has become a commoner, and it's good enough if you can have something to eat. Put yourself in the right place, be an honest person, and don't act so high and mighty. If you don't have the ability, don't think of relying on others for a good life.

The officials are responsible for the food rations of these seventy or eighty people. The court has not asked us to take charge. Those who understand the situation will still be relatives. If they are unreasonable, we can only fight back. "

Upon hearing this, Dalang and the other two immediately formed their positions, each swinging their fists. Even the little glutinous rice dumpling on the cart followed suit, raising both fists and gnashing their teeth. She didn't understand anything, but she knew someone was trying to bully them and steal their steamed buns.

"I've made it clear to you all here. Don't think you can rely on us for every meal. Our General's Mansion has reached this point. We don't ask for a penny from you. But the good food and clothes must be given to our family first. If there is any extra, even if we want to help our clansmen, we won't let those ungrateful people get it for free.

"Old Lady Wang, you and your family, listen carefully. If we distribute anything to our clan members in the future, please don't come over. You will have to fend for yourself along the way! We don't have a relationship with you."

Jing Chunxi listened with great interest to his grandmother's words. Tang Shuang snatched the water bag from her hand, pulled out the cork, and kept persuading her, even wanting to encourage her: "Master, don't be angry~~Drink! You too~~Drink it first, then scold me."

Hehe! If the old lady wants to drink some water after scolding her, the young master can still scold her in turn.

In fact, with his grandmother's support, Jing Chunxi didn't plan to curse anymore. Saying so many words in one breath was really too tiring. No wonder they say that a shrew can curse herself to death. It's not worth it. But why didn't this old lady Wang curse herself to death? It would be better to just lie here and die.

Madam Jing's words really frightened all the human race members! They all knew that what she said was indeed reasonable, and they also believed that the Jing family girl did have money in her hands.

When Jing Qiurong got married, she invited the whole family to a banquet. Except for those who were not born at the time and were not at home, everyone came to the general's mansion to have the banquet. Naturally, they knew how generous her dowry was.

The princess was probably the only one in the capital who had such a case. Since it was a divorce, most of the dowry must be returned, otherwise it would not go unpunished by the noble families in the capital. If the Marquis's Mansion dared not to return it, the Marquis would be criticized by the civil officials and his heart would be stabbed with blood in the court.

Jing Chunxi wasn't worried about rumors reaching the clan members. The Marquis of Pingyang was very concerned about his reputation, so he wouldn't spread the news that her mother had divorced and was exiled. She would also keep in touch with her children in the capital after she arrived in Lingnan. Knowing from correspondence that the children were well fed, clothed, and in school at Qingshan Manor would put her family at ease.

If these tribesmen can honestly respect each other, it would be okay to help them along the way. After all, there is plenty of food, clothing, and money in the space. A little more is not too much, and a little less is not much less either.

But if someone really didn't know how to behave, she wasn't afraid of being separated. They still had Uncle Zhou Wei as their backer! It wasn't like they had no chance of reaching Lingnan safely. If all else failed, with so much silver in hand, it wouldn't be difficult to bribe a few people or find a caravan escort agency to escort them from behind.

Some of the tribesmen were afraid, but some still understood reason and had begun to persuade them.

Most people stopped making a fuss. At this point, it was good enough for the children to have food to eat, clothes to wear, and an education to go to. How could they dare demand the same affluent life they once had? If they really started making a fuss, no one would really care.

Everyone fell silent, and the people who had gathered around gradually retreated. Some continued to gnaw on their black-flour steamed buns, while others sat there blankly after finishing their meals. In short, the ground was filled with people, a sea of ​​black.

After telling the children to return to the cart, Old Lady Jing finally sighed. Little Sister Xi said whatever she thought, and what she said made a lot of sense. No wonder she was so young and dared to go into exile with them. She was indeed a shrewd and thoughtful person, and she had grown up.

My daughter has indeed taught me well. I'm afraid that the other daughters-in-law in the family might not be able to think of such words. Even if they could think of them, they would not dare to confront the clan members so confidently, because there are dozens of aggressive relatives in front of them who are older and taller than her.

But when I think about my daughter's divorce, I still can't get rid of the anger in my heart.

The old lady continued to sit on the shaft of the cart, neither jumping off nor leaning forward. She continued to speak loudly and slowly, speaking with great earnestness, "Yes! When her parents' family is prosperous, all married women want to take advantage of it, but when disaster strikes, everyone flees. The legitimate daughter of my great general's mansion is filial and polite, not afraid of anything and can withstand any hardship. How many of you here don't have daughters? I don't think every family has a legitimate daughter. Who will see you off? Who dares to take care of the children of the entire clan? I'm afraid that even if your own nephew comes to you, you will still push him away!"

"What Sister Xi said is also the opinion of my branch, the opinion of my wife and my husband. I have made it clear to you all. If you want to distance yourself from this, do it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to pass the message back. You have wasted Qiu Rong's dowry. She was willing to leave my General's Mansion, but she was reluctant to do so. The silver was not obtained in vain. It was earned by the sons of my Jing family with their lives."

"I'm afraid the person who wanted to cause trouble just now didn't leave any descendants in the capital?" The eldest lady, Mrs. Zhuang, also interjected beside the old lady at this time.

The tribesmen looked at each other in bewilderment. Some of them immediately realized what was going on: "Isn't that right?"

That old lady Wang is a family without a family. Her last grandson and his wife had only one son in three generations, but he was killed in a fight just one year after their great-granddaughter was born. Now only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are left, as well as their granddaughter-in-law Lin, who is just in her early twenties, and their four-year-old great-granddaughter Qiaoqiao.

"No wonder, Old Lady Wang just can't stand us getting along and wants to make all of us alienated!"

"It's really Sima Zhao's intention, so vicious."

"She's just instigating. Don't be foolish enough to rush forward and let her use you as a tool."
