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

Chu Chunxi only then noticed that there were two more guards on horseback on both sides of the carriage that had already started. Guard Cao had just watched their carriage start before leading his men away. It seemed that his mother had already made all the arrangements.

Jing Qiurong placed a large box in front of her. In it, apart from the servants' indentures, the rest were the fine jewelry that she had originally had in her room, all of which she had taken out.

While Tang Shuang was still immersed in the sudden happiness and didn't notice them at all, Chu Chunxi put the box directly into the space in front of his mother.

Seeing her daughter's empty hands again, Jing Qiurong was already calm. She was thankful for her daughter and her aunt, the fairy aunt. Now no one could take away the little treasure she had left. Still, she held her daughter in her arms, cherishing the fleeting time they had together. If her daughter followed her into exile, today would be their only chance to be together. She didn't know how long it would take for her to return.

However, she no longer had the panic and fear she had just had. The tears and sadness on her face had completely disappeared. Her face was just a little pale, which must have been tidied up when she was in the house. She had the usual calmness of the mistress of the house, but with an extra sense of coldness and determination.

Playing with her daughter's white and tender little hands, she looked out the carriage window and said, "I'm afraid it has already started in the palace."

The sky was beginning to brighten, and the ministers in the palace should have been standing under the main hall. She knew this better than her daughter. Time was passing too quickly, and they couldn't stay even if they wanted to.

"Mother...~"

Before her daughter could finish, Jing Qiurong hugged her tightly and said, "Once we enter the General's Mansion, Mother will go directly to find Grandmother and Third Uncle. You go and do your own thing, and hurry!"

The tone of the last two words was deliberately emphasized, for fear that it would be too late if it was delayed any further.

With the orderly arrangements made by her previous daughter, she already knew what to do. Her father was in court, her eldest brother was stationed at the border in the Western Regions, and her mother and third brother were at home. She just needed to tell them that she had heard the news in advance and let them believe that their property would be confiscated and exiled. She believed that even if she didn't say it, they would know how to arrange it. After all, Madam Jing was a sensible person, and her third brother's top spot in the imperial examination was not obtained out of thin air.

At this time, Jing Qiurong felt that she was the stupidest one not only in front of her daughter, but also in front of her mother and brothers in General Jing's Mansion. She was the sinner who almost became cannon fodder and harmed her mother's family.

Although there was still Frost in the car, Jing Qiurong did not avoid her and explained things to her daughter in an orderly manner. Even the honest Frost could feel that her trip was unusual. It seemed as if she knew that she came with a mission. She couldn't help but lean towards the young lady and made up her mind to protect her at all costs.

Chu Chunxi was happy to see her mother like this. Her mother was able to trust her in a very short time and was able to hold back the grief and stand up again. It made things much easier for her. After all, she was the only niece of General Jing's mansion. She could walk around the mansion as she pleased and take away all the treasures without anyone leading the way. The rest could be left to her mother.

In order to make things easier, when she was packing things in the Marquis' Mansion just now, she specially took an axe from the warehouse to break down the door. As for guarding and places that require effort, she has her big cute icing!

“I can’t take everything…”

"Xi'er knows! Don't worry, mother!"

Before Jing Qiurong could finish her words, Chu Chunxi shut her up.

She knew her mother's worries. The things in General Jing's Mansion could not be dug up and stripped away like in the Marquis' Mansion. Something had to be left behind. Even for food, she only planned to collect old grain from previous years, and most of the new grain had to be kept. The more it was at this time, the more she couldn't let anyone see any flaws, and couldn't let anyone know that they knew the news in advance, otherwise it would be a waste of harm to her grandfather.

If there was nothing in the treasury during the house search, it would be strange if the old emperor didn't suspect my grandfather! However, if the seized property is not much, it will better reflect General Jing's integrity and honesty, and it will also show their loyalty and inspire a little sympathy from the dog emperor.

Otherwise, if he changed the exile to immediate execution in anger, Chu Chunxi would just bang his head against the wall.

"Mother, remember to tell grandma and third uncle to dress warmly. Don't bring anything else. It's useless."

In his previous life, the Fourth Prince personally brought people to the house to search and confiscate the property, intending to kill them all. Apart from the golden hairpin on my grandmother's head that was given by the Empress Dowager, they couldn't take even a copper coin out of the General's Mansion. Otherwise, if they had been able to prepare themselves well on the way, almost all the men would not have died on the road.

It was also because Jing Qiurong was stupid in her previous life. She completely believed that Chu Xuan would help her take care of things, so she was stuck in the mansion and even her relatives couldn't see her off in person, let alone help her in her time of need.

There are indeed quite a lot of things in the several warehouses of the General's Mansion. After generations of fighting at the border to defend their country, they must have gotten some spoils of war. Naturally, they received a lot of rewards from the emperor due to their fruitful victories.

But the amount was at most twice as much as her mother's dowry. It seemed that it was just as the rumors said outside. When her mother, the only legitimate daughter, married her, half of the property of General Jing's Mansion was given as dowry.

There are three generations of generals in General Jing's Mansion. Except for the third uncle who is a civil servant, the rest are military generals. Therefore, there are not many musical instruments, chess, calligraphy and paintings in the house. The only difference from the Marquis' Mansion is that there is an additional weapons warehouse. Although in addition to the weapons used by the generals in daily life, there are only weapons used by the guards in the mansion, but there are more than ten times more than in other mansions, and they look more sophisticated.

Jing Qiurong also reminded: "Weapons must be put away!"

According to regulations, General Jing's mansion could also maintain 200 soldiers, but in order to avoid the emperor's suspicion, since my grandfather was recruited to Beijing to serve as an official, all the soldiers were disbanded, and General Jing even handed over two-thirds of the military power.

In fact, those palace soldiers were the ones who had sworn to follow General Jing Lao and General Jing Da on the battlefield. Many of them had no relatives at home and had no place to go after retiring. Some of them had disabilities and were afraid of being rejected by their families and did not want to go back, so they were taken in by General Jing Da. Their deterrent effect was really not that great.

After the disbandment, General Jing did not let them fend for themselves, but instead asked them to stay away from the capital and gather in the most remote village, asking them to do what they could. Apart from Jing Qiurong, only the adult males of their direct lineage knew about this.

Chu Chunxi didn't know about this in her previous life. Now when she heard her mother say this, she knew that it was a reminder to her. At least she became alert and didn't want to be slaughtered.

"Langya Manor is in my mother's hands?" Chu Chunxi immediately came to his senses. Since the manor was disbanded to avoid the dog emperor's speculation, the manor would definitely not still be in the hands of General Jing's Mansion. Taking it away as a dowry for the legitimate daughter was the best strategy.

Chu Chunxi was filled with surprise: "Grandfather had already made this move? He had anticipated it, right?"

"Under Pu Ge'er's name, in fact, since my grandfather returned to the capital and my second uncle disappeared, the series of things the emperor did had already made my grandfather disheartened. He continued to support them, not only because he couldn't bear to see them go out to make a living, but he must have other plans. Later, he added quite a few people."

Jing Qiurong felt sad when she thought of this incident. In this life, thanks to the reminder from the fairy aunt, they had two more hours to make plans. She hoped that these resources from her father and brother could be used to turn the tide for General Jing's Mansion and allow it to live uprightly in the sun again.
