Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

Jordan Gui's face was deathly pale, as if he had been greatly frightened.

"Auntie, something's happened to my sister-in-law! Something must have happened to her! She's gone!"

"Dan Gui, tell me properly, when did you disappear?" Li Yuzhi asked anxiously.

“In the morning, she went out with her mother-in-law and never came back. Feng’er looked for her mother, but her mother-in-law locked her in the house… Something’s happened, something’s happened, I know something’s happened…”

Jordan Gui clutched her stomach, completely panicked and at a loss.

Her mother-in-law knows the pregnancy is fake; she might be next.

"Why did you know something was wrong just because she went out with your mother-in-law? Maybe she went to work for some wealthy family, or maybe she would come back late. Did you ask your mother-in-law? What did she want by suddenly running to my house? Did she want us to stand up for her?" Huo Chang'an questioned coldly.

After he said that, Li Yuzhi calmed down immediately.

Although anxious, they no longer acted rashly.

To put it bluntly, that's someone else's family matter, unless it's certain that the second aunt really did something intolerable.

"What's the point of asking! She won't tell me!" Jordan Gui was on the verge of collapse.

"Something really happened to my sister-in-law, you have to believe me!"

“If you want us to believe you, you have to tell us what happened before,” Sang Ning said.

"Why are you so sure that your eldest sister-in-law is in trouble? Has something happened to her before?"

Jordan Gui's crying stopped abruptly, and a complex emotion appeared in her eyes—fear, sympathy, and sorrow.

"I can't say."

"If I tell you, my sister-in-law will have no way to survive."

"Ha, is it that Cuiyu has no way out, or that you have no way out? You're so afraid of your mother-in-law, yet you come to us for help. Aren't you afraid that she'll beat you to death if she finds out?" Li Yuzhi said angrily.

Jordan Gui still covered his face and kept his head down, remaining silent.

"It can't be said, it can't be said..."

“If you don’t tell, you’ll be next!” Sang Ning said bluntly.

After listening and observing for a long time, she had figured out some of Qiao Dangui's psychology.

She was indeed worried about Mo Cuiyu, but she cared more about her own interests.

Revealing the past would definitely affect her, which is why she doesn't talk about it.

After Sang Ning finished speaking, it was as if he had hit Qiao Dangui's weak spot.

This is what Qiao Dangui fears most at this moment.

She's next.

Her family was in trouble, and she had to go to their rescue.

There was no food to eat, so she had to go find some.

She will become the second sister-in-law.

No.

No.

"No!!!! I'll talk, I'll talk!"

……

With the imperial decree, the family of the richest man collapsed instantly.

The whole family was exiled.

Before their departure, both Qiao Dangui and Mo Cuiyu's families sent them money, cotton-padded clothes, and food as a token of their concern.

These things ended up in the hands of two yamen runners halfway there.

Fortunately, they accepted the gifts and did not deliberately mistreat them.

But for these wealthy people who had never suffered, the road to exile was more terrifying than having their heads chopped off.

Because they were so hungry, Huo Baohong and his two sons ate some kind of grass by the roadside, and then they vomited and had diarrhea, and later fell into a coma.

Two constables were about to throw them into a mass grave.

How is this possible?

The whole family begged! Begged!

"Later, my mother-in-law called my sister-in-law and me together, knelt down before us, and told us to beg the yamen runners..."

“I was scared, so I lied and said I was pregnant. My mother-in-law kowtowed to my sister-in-law. She said that from now on, my sister-in-law would be the family’s savior, and that my sister-in-law was like her own daughter. She would remember my sister-in-law’s kindness for the rest of her life.”

This matter is between the three of us. Anyone who tells anyone will be struck by lightning. My sister-in-law will continue to live with my brother as before.

"But that's not it at all, that's not it..." Qiao Dangui covered her mouth and cried.

The Huo family members were trembling with anger, as if they were recalling their own experiences on the road to exile.

At that time, they were actually the same.

They were being eyed covetously, like fish on a chopping board.

If Sang Ning hadn't stood up for himself later...

"After that incident, the constables gave my father and the others medicine, and they recovered. But the two constables would always take advantage of my sister-in-law when no one was looking."

Once, the eldest brother saw it, and when they made a fuss, the constable spoke out.

That's a very unpleasant thing to say.

At that moment, my sister-in-law looked as if she had been stripped naked. She curled up and trembled like a leaf. Her eyes were like those of a newborn child, devoid of her own thoughts, filled only with fear, emptiness, and ignorance.

But her two sisters-in-law looked at her with disdain and disgust, as if she were a dirty rag.

And her mother-in-law didn't say a word in her defense!

Her older brother even slapped her.

She felt that her sister-in-law at that time was completely broken!

The kind that can't be pieced together at all.

"Actually, my sister-in-law has died once."

If I hadn't stopped her, she would have slashed her own neck.

“I told her that there was still Feng’er. If she died, her mother-in-law wouldn’t treat Feng’er well. She always disliked Feng’er because she was a girl. That’s why my sister-in-law didn’t try to kill herself.”

"But my sister-in-law is alive now, but she's like a walking corpse. Even though I told my brother the truth, I often hear them arguing."

"That's how it is. I've told you everything. My father-in-law said this matter should be kept to himself, and anyone who tells anyone else should be kicked out of the Huo family."

It doesn't matter, haha... I might be next. My mother-in-law can't bear to part with her two daughters. She knows I'm not pregnant, so I'll be the next one pushed out.

"My sister-in-law must have been sold by my mother-in-law, she must have been sold by her..."

"How could she be so heartless? She clearly said she would be good to her sister-in-law for the rest of her life."

After saying this sadly, Qiao Dangui squatted there, his face blank.

"You scoundrel!" the old lady roared in fury.

"You scoundrels, Huo Baohong and Ding Ruoliu! You've disgraced the Huo family!"

"I'm going to ask them if they're afraid of being struck by lightning!"

Li Yuzhi then realized what was happening, and when she touched her face, it was covered in tears.

Then, a fierce look rose in his eyes.

In their family, even the youngest Jintang knows to protect women. Are those two cousins ​​dead?

He can't even protect his own woman, yet he has the nerve to blame Cuiyu!

This was the second time she had considered killing someone.

The first time was when she heard that her husband had been humiliated.

Huo Chang'an suddenly grabbed Sang Ning's hand.

"Let go of me, or I'll go and beat that whole family to death!"

Sang Ning was so angry that her eyes turned red. Seeing the old lady and the others run out, she screamed and wanted to tear someone apart too!

Turning around, I saw that Huo Chang'an's expression was off.

His fierce aura was tinged with despair; his lips trembled, and he looked at Sang Ning as if he were gazing up at a savior.

"what happened to you?"

"If it weren't for you... if it weren't for you..."

He suddenly hugged Sang Ning tightly.

He held her tightly, his arms like iron, in a possessive posture, as if trying to melt her down and make her a part of his body.

If it weren't for you.

The whole family has long been in hell.
