Jiang Qingwan sighed when he recalled Ning Yuan's ending in the book.

After the heroine Ruan Hezhu killed her biological parents, she showed no mercy to her relative Ning Yuan.

He knew that if he didn't get rid of him, his identity would be lost sooner or later, so he soon found a reason to transfer him away from the capital.

Ning Yuan has a lot of ambitions, but he can only stay in a remote little place forever.

This time the Jiang and Yu families escaped unscathed, and the most upset were the people in the Jiang family's old house.

Especially the eldest wife who is in charge of the family. Without the second wife, who is the one who takes the blame, it would be meaningless for her to manage the family.

Not only can you not make any money, sometimes you even have to pay subsidies.

Feeling that she couldn't make it any longer, Liu brought her daughter-in-law and the two of them went to see Old Madam Jiang to make a scene.

"Mother, why don't we call the second wife back? We and the third wife haven't split up yet, so what will it look like if they split up?"

Even though Yu Shulan is not as easy to fool as before and no benefits can be gained from her, at least many people in Beijing will often send gifts to the Jiang family for their sake.

Since the second house was separated, fewer and fewer people have been giving gifts.

Even if there was one, it was for the third room, and Su Wu had already stopped her in her room and didn't let her touch it at all.

Old Madam Jiang had a gloomy face.

"The relationship has been severed, there's no reason to come back."

"Besides, wouldn't our Jiang family be able to survive without his second branch? I think things will only get better without them. As soon as they left, Wei Yan was promoted to Minister, and soon he will be Minister, no worse than Jiang Weizhen."

The biggest reason for driving the second wife away was that the youngest son told her that the second wife was blocking his way.

At first she didn't believe it, but now she sees that it is true. If she had known this earlier, she should have divided the family business sooner. Maybe her youngest son would have been successful long ago.

"Mom, speaking of the third room, their expenses have been quite high lately."

Jiang Weiyan was inexplicably promoted to a higher official position, and he took a lot of silver from the public treasury, saying that it was used to do things.

"The Jiang family is so big, and you still care about this little money? Can you have a little more grace as the mistress of the family? If you can't do it, why not let the third brother take charge?"

"mother…"

Liu was dissatisfied because the third son was thinking of seizing her power as soon as he was promoted.

Just as she was about to make a noise, she was stopped by Liu Xier.

"Mother, it's only natural for Third Uncle and Third Aunt to use some of the public funds. Let's not make a fuss about it."

"Not even a junior is sensible enough."

Madam Jiang looked at Liu Xier with admiration, "Don't think too much about those messy ideas, and pay more attention to the child in Xier's belly. This is the eldest grandson of our Jiang family. If anything happens to you, I will not forgive you."

Liu looked at the two of them singing the same tune and felt that she was an outsider. She turned around and left in anger.

After leaving the backyard, he immediately asked, "What do you mean by siding with the third wife? What benefits did the third wife give you?"

"Mother, how could the Third House give me any benefit? I'm just afraid that Grandmother will take away your housekeeping power. Grandmother is thinking about the Third House now, so there's no point in us arguing with them."

Liu Xier rolled her eyes. "Mother, you said we are in charge of the household expenses. How much money is on the books is up to us. Mother, it would be better for you to be more flexible."

"You're just smart."

Liu said angrily that she and Liu Xier were from the same family, so how could she not know those methods? Moreover, she had already taken away all the silver she could.

A large part of it was given to the Liu family.

Now there is really nothing left on the Jiang family’s account books.

But no one believed her no matter what she said, and the account could not stand up to scrutiny, so she did not dare to tell the truth.

"Mother, I also want to share your worries. Why don't you take out the account books in the mansion and we can find a solution together."

"Take good care of yourself and worry less about other things."

Liu rejected Liu Xier's little thoughts without any hesitation.

Liu Xier looked at her leaving back and curled her lips. Her aunt valued money more than anything else.

For so long, she was not allowed to touch the household chores at all, for fear that her power as housekeeper would be taken away by others.

She stroked her belly, feeling a little uneasy, and felt that she couldn't keep her secret for much longer.

She must make some money before the child is born to ensure that she and her child will have no worries for the rest of their lives.

Jiang Qingwan no longer paid attention to these things happening in the Jiang family's old house.

Anyway, there is a letter of severance, and apart from that blood relationship, there is no family affection left.

After the Spring Examination incident was investigated, the emperor sent people to investigate what Han Wen and Yun Liu had done.

This investigation made the emperor furious. How dare someone treat his own sister like this?

Han Wen was born into a commoner family. If Princess De'an did not hold military power, she would not be allowed to marry into a powerful family, and it would not be his turn.

It would have been fine if he didn't know how to cherish her, but he actually did such a heartless thing, causing the eldest princess to suffer humiliation.

The emperor directly ordered that Han Wen and Yun Liu be torn into five pieces.

Finally, Princess De'an pleaded for the two men, hoping that the emperor would commute their death penalty and allow them to be exiled to the border.

Including Han Tianrui, together with them, so that the family of three can be reunited.

"De'an, you are too soft-hearted."

The emperor frowned, very dissatisfied with this treatment.

Princess De'an smiled and said, "Death is too easy. I will let them live well and make their lives worse than death."

The best punishment for them is to torture each other while alive and be unable to die even if they want to.

"It's up to you."

The emperor still followed the eldest princess's wishes and sentenced them to exile.

On the day they left, Han Wen had a look of despair on his face and was half dead. He had been living in fear of being killed by Yun Liu every day these days and was almost going crazy.

Yun Liu wasn't much better. She glared at the princess, "Didn't you say you would let Rui'er go?"

"This princess has already kindly helped you and your family of three get married. Isn't that enough? What? Do you still want this princess to raise your son for the rest of your life? Are you stupid, or am I?"

Yun Liu was in a trance. She should have thought of it earlier. How could the princess let them go after finding out about all this? However, after the incident with the medicinal flower and being bewitched by the people around her, she was exhausted both physically and mentally and had lost her ability to think.

At that time, they only wanted to use Han Wen's life to save their son. Now it seems that it was just a means for the eldest princess to make them torture each other.

Han Tianrui was still unwilling to accept his fate and continued to cry and shout that he was the eldest princess's son.

"Mother, I don't want to go to the border. I am your son. Please let me stay in the princess's mansion."

"Rui'er, mother can't bear to leave you either. It's a pity that you have biological parents, not me."

The eldest princess sighed and said, "How wonderful it would be if you were my child."
