My treasure bowl connects the past and present; I've won everything on my journey into exile.
Chapter 7 I want everything, except shame!
Changle Marquis Mansion.
Zhou Yuxuan was in a great mood after getting rid of the eyesore Lin Mo.
Unable to resist, I had someone prepare an incredibly lavish lunch to celebrate.
After all, there will be no one of higher seniority in this household to suppress him in the future, which is something to celebrate.
After she had eaten and drunk her fill and was about to go back to her room for a nap, an imperial edict from the palace terrified her.
"Confiscate their property and exile them?" she screamed.
His eyes glared angrily at the eunuch Mu who was reading the imperial edict:
"Are you mistaken? What crime did my family commit that warrants your search and exile?"
Shen Qingyun had already lowered his head in defeat, looking as if all his energy had been drained away, and he looked decades older in an instant.
Your Majesty, it seems you're really about to take action against the powerful clans.
This is just the beginning.
"Hmph, how dare a criminal like you question the Emperor's decree?" Eunuch Mu sneered.
"Guards, hold this wicked woman down and beat her severely, let her truly understand what it means to be blessed by heaven, whether with thunder or rain!"
"Ahhh!"
Zhou Yuxuan was held down by the guards and given a beating.
If Shen Qingyun hadn't pleaded for her, she would have been beaten even worse. Even so, her buttocks were still bruised and torn.
When the Shen family, numbering over a hundred, was driven out of the Marquis of Changle's residence, they had virtually no valuables with them.
As they were being escorted out of the capital, many of the women in the Shen family burst into tears.
At the same time, heart-wrenching cries echoed from different directions in the capital.
Moreover, these cries were moving towards the city gate.
The emperor took drastic measures this time.
Anyone involved, regardless of the depth of their involvement, will have their property confiscated and be exiled.
For a time, the entire court was filled with fear, with everyone terrified that they would be the next to have their property confiscated and be exiled.
As imperial edicts ordering the confiscation of property and exile were issued one after another, the palace descended into chaos.
First, the imperial kitchen's stored grain and prepared meals disappeared without a trace.
Afterwards, the private treasuries of the nobles in the palace were completely looted.
The emperor was furious.
He ordered the palace gates to be closed and vowed to catch the thief.
……
At this moment, Lin Mo was protecting her mother and younger brother, following behind the people from the Anping Prince's Mansion, walking step by step towards the outskirts of the capital.
Liu Ying's face was completely pale; she was terrified.
At this moment, she leaned half of her body against Lin Mo, and with Lin Mo's support, she walked step by step towards the outskirts of the capital.
Her hand gripped Lin Mo's arm tightly, her eyes filled with bewilderment and fear of the outside world.
On the contrary, Lin Shuo, who was following closely behind them, had a resolute look in his eyes and showed no fear whatsoever.
The moment she stepped out of the city gate, Liu Ying finally couldn't hold back her tears and they fell.
"It's all my mother's fault for being incompetent."
If you hadn't married the Crown Prince of Anping, you wouldn't have been implicated and exiled.
Staying in the Marquis of Chang Le's residence is tough, but at least I won't be exiled.
"Mother!" Lin Mo looked at her:
"Do you think I can escape this by staying in the Marquis of Chang Le's residence?"
"Isn't that right?" Liu Ying frowned. It couldn't be that the Marquis of Chang Le's mansion had also been raided and the family exiled.
Lin Mo shook her head. "Of course not."
She looked up and saw behind her, "The Marquis of Chang Le's residence is also within the scope of the confiscation of property and exile."
Ah!
The way the Shen family cried and made a scene was truly ugly.
Do you really think that crying and making a scene can change the facts?
Naive.
Lin Mo sighed.
She tried her best to change the situation and avoid this disaster, but in the end, she still couldn't escape it.
Liu Ying followed her gaze and looked behind her. When she saw the Shen family members from the Marquis of Chang Le's residence, she fell silent.
"Mom, don't be afraid. As long as our family is together, we can go anywhere. I'm all grown up now, and I can protect you and my sister." Lin Shuo said seriously.
Lin Mo smiled slightly, "Okay, I'm counting on you."
Her younger brother is very reliable in crucial moments.
Just then, Xu Wuyan stopped and waited for them.
Xu Wuyan nodded to Liu Ying, "Mother-in-law."
Liu Ying was flattered and nodded quickly.
To be honest, the heir of the Prince of Anping is truly an exceptional man. If it weren't for his reputation for bringing misfortune to his wives, this marriage would never have fallen to his daughter.
Therefore, she had no complaints about this son-in-law.
The only thing to worry about is that he might bring bad luck to his daughter.
Lin Mo knew he wasn't there to chat, so she told her mother and younger brother to go ahead, while she and Xu Wuyan followed behind.
She knew why Xu Wuyan had sought her out.
To put it bluntly, it's about doubting yourself.
But she had already prepared her explanation for this.
So, before he could speak, she spoke first:
"Your Highness, I know all this because of a dream."
I had seen all of this happening today in my dreams.
Dream?
Xu Wuyan frowned. Why did her words sound so suspicious?
Lin Mo knew she hadn't dispelled his doubts, but she didn't intend to say anything more. She simply turned to look at him:
"Your Highness, do you still remember the request I made to you before?"
A deep look flashed in Xu Wuyan's eyes. She made so many preparations because of a dream?
They also severed ties with the Marquis of Changle's mansion.
She is shrouded in mystery, making her difficult to understand.
But as it stands, she seems to have no ill intentions towards the Prince of Anping's residence, which is fine.
His eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded.
“Your mother and brother are also my family, and I will naturally protect them. Don’t forget, you and I are husband and wife now, we are one.”
After saying that, he gave her a deep look and strode forward.
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment.
How could she have forgotten about this?
It was evening when they finally reached the Wind and Rain Pavilion outside the capital.
Meanwhile, many people were already waiting at the Wind and Rain Pavilion. When they saw their exiled relatives appear, they rushed forward and embraced their loved ones while crying.
After passing the Wind and Rain Pavilion, we would officially embark on our journey of exile. The further north we went, the more desolate it became.
Therefore, if a relative was exiled, they would usually wait at the Wind and Rain Pavilion.
When the escorts arrived at this point, they would pause for the time it takes to drink two cups of tea, allowing the exiled people to bid farewell to their loved ones.
Relatives would also take this opportunity to send clothes or money to their exiled relatives, hoping that they would not have to suffer so much on their journey.
You should know that on the road to exile, adults only get two steamed buns a day, while children only get one.
If something happens and you're delayed, you might not even get a steamed bun.
If they don't have money to bribe officials or buy food, they probably won't survive until they're exiled.
Lin Mo had no interest in watching others cry their hearts out. Her eyes swept across the dense crowd and finally found a large group of escorts in a corner.
Qian Zhengchang was among them.
Who was the other empress's man?
Lin Mo now sees everyone as similar.
She felt a little regretful that she hadn't kept up with Rong Momo, otherwise she would have known who the person hiding in the shadows was.
She and Xu Wuyan are now in the same boat, and they must be wary of someone who is secretly watching them like a venomous snake.
Lin Mo put aside her worries and looked around.
They were all familiar faces, exiled people, the same ones from their previous lives.
wrong!
Lin Mo narrowed her eyes; there were a few more!
These families didn't exist in my past life, so why are they here in this one?
Perhaps it's because of my different choices that some changes have occurred.
Before Lin Mo could think it through, a commotion ahead suddenly caught her attention.
Her younger brother, Lin Shuo, was pushed to the ground, followed by a piercing, sharp sound.
"It's all your sister's fault! Your sister is a jinx!" Han Yulong said angrily.
“If it weren’t for your sister, that jinx, marrying my cousin, the Anping Prince’s Mansion wouldn’t have been in trouble, and my Han family wouldn’t have been implicated. It’s all her fault.”
"You're not allowed to talk about my sister. My sister isn't a jinx."
Lin Shuo rolled to his feet, clenched his fists, and roared angrily at the other person.
"That's her!" Han Yulong put her hands on her hips and snorted coldly.
"She's a jinx!"
Seeing Lin Shuo's clenched fists, she couldn't help but sneer:
"You piece of trash, do you dare hit me?"
"Let me tell you, if you dare touch me, I'll have my cousin kick you all out immediately."
"Really?" Lin Mo slowly walked over.
She couldn't help but rub her hands together; come to think of it, she hadn't gone completely mad today.
Going crazy is fun!
"You jinx, shameless! You've ruined us, get out!" Han Yulong roared at Lin Mo.
In their past life, the people of Anping Prince's Mansion became the targets of the Han family's venting of anger.
In this life, she changed her fate and married into the Prince of Anping's mansion.
So, I became the target of their anger?
Lin Mo narrowed her eyes dangerously. Very good!
She raised her hand and slapped him across the face without any hesitation.
Snapped!
This slap completely stunned Han Yulong.
It also attracted the attention of people in the vicinity.
Han Yulong's mother, Madam Han, upon seeing her daughter being beaten, immediately abandoned her relatives and rushed over:
"Long'er, what's wrong?"
Then he looked at Lin Mo with reproachful eyes:
"Are you a shrew? How dare you lay a hand on a child? Have you no shame?"
Lin Mo waved her aching right hand and sneered:
"I want everything, except shame!"
Why put up with being treated badly if you have to save face?
