Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

Jiang Miaomiao nestled obediently in her mother's arms.

A piece of goat milk was stuffed into my mouth.

It has a subtle sweetness, a subtle milky aroma, and a subtle rice fragrance.

She smacked her lips and rubbed the nipple with her newly grown teeth.

My mouth was watering as I ate.

It flowed into the hands of her mother, who caught it with a handkerchief.

While eating milk tablets, she listened attentively as her mother recounted her past.

Previously, my mother had never mentioned this to anyone.

There was no one to confide in.

Jiang Miaomiao felt that her mother also had a close friend, perhaps the one in the capital with whom her mother corresponded.

But they were still separated by thousands of miles, and could not express their true feelings.

My mother wasn't the type to complain or blame others, so she would never complain in front of her children.

However, I'm having a very pleasant chat with Aunt Xiuxiu right now.

“Xiuxiu, do you know that according to the laws of Daqing, my father, as the commander-in-chief, lost military pay and was accused of embezzling military pay? He should be executed…”

Jiang Miaomiao opened her small mouth.

Execution?

So, her maternal grandfather, whom she had never met, almost died!

"How did they change the sentence to exile?" Xiuxiu asked curiously.

Either the emperor showed leniency, or the lost military pay was recovered...

“Throughout history, there has been a system of redemption for punishment, and Daqing is no exception… The lost military pay has remained unaccounted for, and I cannot stand by and watch my parents and brothers die…”

Xiuxiu looked on incredulously, "So you used your dowry to atone for your parents' punishment?"

Although dowry is the private property of a married woman, it is unprecedented for it to be donated entirely.

My sister is probably the first one.

As far as she knows, there are many women who married out of their families who, after being convicted in their natal families, severed ties with their natal families in order not to implicate their husbands' families or their children.

The older sister, however, gave everything she had for her parents.

No wonder he comes from a military family.

Daring to act...

However, her method was a desperate gamble, leaving no way out.

Jiang Miaomiao was so surprised that she opened her mouth wide.

The half-eaten milk tablet in his mouth dripped into the handkerchief along with his saliva.

She thought of countless possibilities.

I thought it was another story of a scumbag father, a poisonous concubine, or a wicked mother-in-law embezzling the dowry...

It turns out that my mother had gone bankrupt to save my maternal grandfather's family!

That's amazing!

As expected of her mother, she has such great courage!

Was there such a thing as redemption in ancient times? Why had she never heard of it?

But it's understandable.

Although the ruling class all proclaimed that princes should be punished the same as commoners when they break the law.

But there was no equality in feudal society; people in ancient times were essentially divided into different classes.

In order to make high-ranking officials and nobles more loyal to them, rulers would give them various privileges in different ways.

This redemption punishment must be a product of these privileges.

However, redemption could only alleviate some of the punishment with money, and my maternal grandfather was probably spared the death penalty because of my mother's dowry.

The little baby felt a pang of sadness.

She reached out her little hands to hug her mother and snuggled against her mother's chest.

Lu Qingyao sensed her daughter's unusual behavior and touched her little face.

She continued, "My parents gave me life and loved me dearly. I can't just watch them die. My dowry was given to me by my parents. If it can save their lives, then it's worth it."

When Xing'er got married, her parents gave her a generous dowry, and the farmland and shops that came with her dowry were the best they could find, and they were always making money.

Otherwise, it would probably be a drop in the ocean.

With the help of a friend, he was able to persuade His Majesty to spare his father's life.

However, while the death penalty may be avoided, punishment is inevitable, including confiscation of property and exile.

"Sister, why don't you divorce Miaomiao's father? You can't go back anyway."

Although Xiuxiu used to live in the royal palace.

But Prince Jing's harem was different. Prince Jing was still young and not obsessed with women. There were no scandals or gossips like in other families' harems.

His residence was very simple.

Moreover, her deceased husband was also a close associate of King Jing.

She was all alone until her death; she had no powerful family to fight against.

Without her dowry and support, the elder sister naturally couldn't stay in the Jiang family any longer and could easily get a divorce...

Lu Qingyao smiled, "Silly sister, not everything can be solved with a divorce..."

“My husband doesn’t want a divorce. He wants to divorce me, but he values ​​his reputation highly and doesn’t want to be seen as ungrateful and faithless. Isn’t that ridiculous!”

Back then, he was just a poor scholar. If it weren't for his father and brothers' support, he wouldn't be where he is today.

When my father was convicted, he even pretended to plead with His Majesty.

His Majesty was not angry; instead, he praised him for being grateful and loyal.

If she hadn't overheard her husband and mother-in-law's scheme, she probably would have lived her whole life in their deception.

“Sister…” Xiuxiu’s eyes were red.

Lu Qingyao turned to look at her two sons sleeping side by side.

Looking at Xiuxiu's sympathetic gaze, she smiled calmly, "It's not easy for a woman to stand in this world, especially for a woman like me who has lost her family and support. If we really get a divorce, Jiang Yunze won't let me take the child. Even if I could... people say that there's a lot of trouble at a widow's door, and even more trouble at a divorced woman's door. How can she live in peace then?"

"At least now, all my children are safe and sound in front of me. Even if we are worried about Jiang Yunze, no one will dare to have any bad intentions."

Most importantly, the future of the two children...

She could disregard everything and have her child sever ties with their father and leave with her.

She was not just a woman from the Jiang family; she was the descendant of a criminal.

If I follow her, my future and my path to the imperial examinations will be ruined.

Parents love their children and plan far ahead for them.

She can't be so selfish...

Xiuxiu originally thought her older sister was a carefree person, but she didn't expect her to have so many entanglements.

Her nose stung with tears, and she turned her head away.

After a long time.

Suddenly, she remembered something. "Sister, is the reason why Aunt Qi tried so hard to get rid of you because as long as you are here, she will not be able to take your place as the legal wife?"

Lu Qingyao nodded.

Unless she committed some heinous crime or disgraced her reputation.

Jiang Yunze will not divorce his wife.

Xiuxiu felt that her responsibility to protect her elder sister had become even greater, and she had to write a letter to her master to ask him to send someone to keep an eye on Qi Caiwei.

As for Jiang Yunze, it was still somewhat beyond his reach.

"Sister, will Jiang Yunze and his mother be furious when they find out that you used your dowry to redeem your father from punishment?"

Thinking about this made Lu Qingyao feel much better.

“I was so angry I almost died. My mother-in-law was so angry she almost fainted... After all, they used a lot of my dowry before.”

Hearing this, Xiuxiu felt less aggrieved. "Sister, are Jiang Yunze and his mother spending that Aunt Qi's dowry now?"

"Of course, my husband's meager salary can't support so many people in the entire mansion!"

Jiang Yunze came from a poor family and, even after so many years, he had not accumulated much wealth.

He used to rely on her, but after Qi Caiwei entered the household, he was willing to use his dowry to help her out.

She naturally had to step down and give way to a more capable person!

After all, she was a noblewoman from a high-ranking family. Although she was a concubine's daughter, her father doted on her so much that she was treated like a legitimate daughter.

He even gave her a considerable dowry in order to outdo her as the legal wife.

Right now, that woman is probably handing over her private property...
