Chapter 202: Being an aunt requires acting like an aunt

"I don't believe it!"

Zhang Xing didn't believe that this seemingly wealthy and luxurious family would be exiled.

Some even felt that Jiang Wan must have said this on purpose in order to get rid of them.

Not to mention her, even the people in the caravan didn't believe it and looked at them in surprise.

But everyone felt a little more concerned in their hearts and quietly stayed away from them, fearing that they would be associated with them.

Madam Song smiled bitterly, "It's a long story. When you were away, it was Yuan'er who was holding on."

This simple sentence filled Song Qing's heart with deep guilt.

But Zhang Xing was very dissatisfied. "Although I am a country boy, you can't fool me."

"fool?"

Jiang Wan glanced at the large group approaching from a distance, and smiled, "See? That's the large group of exiles.

We are walking in front to explore the way. The carriage belongs to the officials, and we have to return it to them later and then catch up with their team.

You can follow us if you want, but as Daddy's concubine, you have to take care of our family's daily life."

Song Jiuli squeezed out a few tears in a proper manner and tried to persuade Madam Song.

"Mother, although Daddy broke the oath between you two.

But now is not the same as before, our whole family doesn’t know anything, so it would be nice to have two more people.”

Zhang Xing's heart skipped a beat as she stared at the exile team not far away.

Those people were wearing ragged clothes, and the exposed skin was purple from the cold.

But she still had a question in her mind: if they were exiled, why were they dressed so well?

They are all fair and tender, forming a sharp contrast with those people.

Jiang Wan simply took a strong approach, "Dad just said he wanted to borrow money, so I took out the last bit of silver I had.

It’s good that my aunt is willing to follow us now. If it weren’t for the money I saved, we wouldn’t have been able to get to this point unscathed.

Auntie, when the officials come over later, remember to give them some money, or you might get beaten."

"Yes, yes."

Song Jiuli was deeply immersed in the play, "When we were first exiled, some people were disobedient and were beaten so hard that they couldn't walk."

"well."

Madam Song sighed slightly and said regretfully, "Forget it, I wanted to preserve your bloodline.

Since my sister loves you so deeply, please come with us."

She acted as if she was thinking about them.

Zhang Xing had little experience to begin with, and now she was confused by their tricks.

Jiang Wan had already waved to Ren Bang who was not far away, and the other party also waved back.

"Sister-in-law, I'll go talk to them and we'll catch up right away."

Song Jiuchi was in a state of acting, and ran towards the large group not far away in a hurry.

I saw him bowing his head. Although I couldn't hear what he said, he looked humble.

Song Qing felt inexplicably distressed. Although he didn't remember his wife and children, he had a hunch that his children shouldn't be like this.

He clenched his fists, veins popping out on his forehead, "Ma'am, I'm sorry."

"No need to apologize to me."

Madam Song said coldly, "Anyway, none of us can escape. Take out your luggage. We have to hurry on our way."

"Let's go."

Song Qing turned his head to look at Zhang Xing and Hu Zhuangzhuang beside him, "Ayin is right, our family must be together."

"Mother, what is exile?"

Hu Zhuangzhuang, who realized it later, widened his eyes. Although the child didn't understand, he could feel everyone's emotions.

It seems that this is not a good word.

Zhang Xing's face turned pale, and the people in the caravan gloated, "Exile, too many of them are prisoners."

"That's right. You may be assigned to mine in the mountains in the future."

"I heard that the children of those who were exiled cannot take the imperial examinations in the future."

"What's the big deal? Being together as a family is better than anything else. We can endure hardships together."

“…”

There was sarcasm and ridicule in everyone's words, which frightened Zhang Xing so much that her face turned even paler.

Song Jiuyuan glanced at Zhang Xing and the frightened Hu Zhuangzhuang, and said to Qingshan:

"Qingshan, what are you still standing there for? Help Auntie move things. Even though we don't have much money left, at least we won't starve to death.

I think it’s a good thing that my aunt and brother are willing to follow us.”

When Qingshan heard this, he hurried to take Zhang Xing and Hu Zhuangzhuang's luggage. Zhang Xing was so scared that she hugged the package and the purse she had just received tightly.

"No, I have to think about it."

"My sister just said that she was willing to go with us. What are you considering now?"

Madam Song was a little angry. "I don't mind sharing my man with you. What else do you want?"

The tone was exactly the same as what Zhang Xing had said just now, and Zhang Xing's cheeks were tense with anger.

"I just spoke without thinking. Now I need to think about it."

"What are you considering?"

Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "If you want to surpass A Niang and become the legal wife, that is impossible.

I let you stay by my side because you have helped the Song family to expand."

She said it so easily that Zhang Xing felt numb all over. She looked straight at Song Jiuyuan.

"Tell me..., for what crime were you exiled?"

"Hey, big sister, why are you asking? How many of those who were exiled can turn things around?"

"That's right. Even though they look well-dressed now, they might be stripped naked when they get to Jiuzhou."

"I think it's better not to have this man. He used to take advantage of you when he had money, but now that he has no money, he wants to keep you as a prisoner."

“…”

Several men in the caravan who coveted Zhang Xing's beauty said this deliberately.

Zhang Xing has a pretty face and can’t be considered a great beauty, but she stands out among ordinary people.

Hearing this, Song Jiuyuan frowned, as if he was enduring something. Song Jiuchi, who was not far away, walked back irritably.

"Brother, the officer asked us to return the carriage quickly, otherwise we will not be allowed to have dinner. Let's hurry."

He pretended quite well. Ren Bang and his men not far away were repairing on the spot. It was probably because Song Jiuchi said something.

The officials looked at the Song family with fierce eyes, and they were holding big knives in their hands, which frightened Zhang Xing so much that her legs were shaking.

"Let's go."

Song Qing tried to hold Hu Zhuangzhuang's hand, but was suddenly pushed away by Zhang Xing.

"Don't touch my son!"

"you……"

Song Qing looked at her with confusion, "What's wrong with you? Isn't this my son?"

"Auntie, you can't do this. If you are an aunt, you should act like an aunt."

Jiang Wan winked at Qingshan, and Qingshan went straight forward and grabbed Hu Zhuangzhuang.

Mrs. Song glanced at her indifferently, her voice lazy.

"We have to leave quickly, otherwise the officer will get angry and beat us."

"I won't go with you!"

Zhang Xing hugged Hu Zhuangzhuang tightly and stared at them in horror, as if they were some kind of monster.

Song Qing looked at them in disbelief, then stared blankly at the Song family.

Madam Song frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Just now you were the one who insisted on going with us.

Now we ask you to come along, who are you acting like this for?

I warn you, if you make the official unhappy, I will not forgive you."

She was a little angry. When did Qingge's taste become so bad that he would actually fall for such a woman.
