Chapter 3: Breaking off the Relationship Outside the Changting

"Damn it, Yuan'er!"

At this time, Mrs. Song, who had fainted, finally woke up. Seeing Song Jiuyuan's miserable appearance, she burst into tears.

The mother feels pain when her child is injured, so Mrs. Song quickly asked her personal maid to get medicine, but there was no medicine in the house at that time.

Even if there was medicine, those contemptuous royal guards would not allow them to use it.

The scene was chaotic for a while, and the Imperial Guards would not show mercy. At this moment, Jiang Wan was glad that Song Jiuyuan was only deprived of his position as a king of a different surname and demoted to a commoner.

If she were to become a prisoner marked as a slave, Jiang Wan would run away on the spot. At worst, she could repay the favor later!

"Hurry, put on coarse linen clothes!"

The official who came to take over threw a coarse linen shirt to each of them in a harsh tone. People in the palace usually wore silk and satin, which were also worth some silver.

They couldn't wear any of these, so no matter how unwilling they were, they had to obediently change into coarse linen clothes.

Song Jiuyuan was an exception. After all, his clothes were already stained with blood, so it didn't make much difference whether he changed them or not.

After everyone changed into coarse linen clothes, they were violently driven out of the palace, and what greeted them were stinky vegetable leaves and eggs from the people of the city.

"Oh, do you really think you can become emperor just by winning a battle?"

"This is retribution. This official is so careless about human life. Let's smash it as hard as we can."

"I curse them to die!"

“…”

The harsh words reached everyone's ears. Jiang Wan had just passed through, so the impact was not that strong, but everyone in the palace was like eggplants hit by frost.

Especially Song Jiuyuan, who wanted to protect the common people wholeheartedly, but ended up being abused and hated by these people. He was so angry that he fainted.

“Brother!”

Song Jiuchi, who was carrying Song Jiuyuan on his back, panicked. Jiang Wan hurriedly blocked the rotten vegetable leaves that were thrown at them, but unfortunately she did not receive a good look from everyone in the palace.

Everyone was unable to take care of themselves. Their bodies, which had always been pampered, could not bear all this. They all cried loudly.

Therefore, the journey out of the city was extremely difficult. By the time they reached the city gate, everyone was beaten to a pulp.

The officers who escorted them were naturally not the Imperial Guards. In addition to their royal palace, there were also families who were exiled for other crimes.

Hundreds of people left the city in a mighty procession and soon arrived outside the Changting. Their relatives came to see them off outside the Changting. This was their only hope.

The officials would not stop them. After all, the money these people received would eventually go into their pockets, so they would instead deliberately delay for a while.

Everyone was waiting for their families with great anticipation, and many of the women's families sent money for the trip one after another.

The people who came at this time were members of the Shen family. The Shen family thought highly of Chen Qian, and her mother sent someone to deliver a large package.

The old lady's expression looked much better. After getting the package, the embarrassed Shen Qianqian finally found some sense of existence and deliberately glanced at Jiang Wan.

"It seems my mother still cares about me. Unlike some people, I haven't seen anyone from her family even though I'm almost gone."

This was clearly a deliberate mockery of Jiang Wan, but Jiang Wan remained unmoved and only carefully wiped the face of the unconscious Song Jiuyuan.

"It's someone from the Shangshu Mansion."

No one knew who spoke, but everyone was shocked when they saw the Shangshu Mansion's carriage from afar, and they all looked at the carriage with anticipation.

Even the old lady had a bitter smile on her face. She never expected that they would fall to the point of relying on others for support.

The carriage stopped in front of them, but only a little girl came out. The little girl looked unfamiliar, and Jiang Wan had no memory of such a person at all.

But she didn't hold anything in her hand, she just pulled out a piece of plain white paper from her sleeve.

“My dear, you insisted on marrying into the palace that day, but now you have suffered a great disaster. Although the master cannot bear it, for the sake of the other young masters and young ladies in the palace, he can only reluctantly break up with you.

This is a letter of severance. The master means that you will no longer have any relationship with the Shangshu Mansion from now on!"

This is simply adding insult to injury. If the original owner were still alive, he would probably be furious. No wonder the original owner in the original book was so neurotic.

Everyone in the palace looked at the arrogant little girl in disbelief, and their hearts turned cold. This Minister Jiang was really the most heartless one!

Compared to the others who were about to drop their jaws in shock, Jiang Wan took the letter of severance indifferently, looked at the little girl and said in a resounding voice:

"Please tell the Shangshu Lord that whether I, Jiang Wan, live or die, be rich or poor in the future, has nothing to do with the Shangshu Mansion."

Jiang Wan didn't believe that she, a dignified successor of modern Chinese medicine, would always do so badly. One day, she would make the people in the Shangshu Mansion beg her for mercy!

"That's better!"

The little girl climbed onto the carriage arrogantly, and the carriage disappeared in front of everyone with a clatter. Only then did the stunned people come back to their senses.

Chen Qian looked at Jiang Wan with disdain as she instigated everyone, "I thought my sister-in-law's family came to give us something, but I didn't expect it to be a severance of the relationship."

These words were like a drop of water dropped into an oil pan, which instantly caused it to explode.

The old lady, who had been enduring, looked at Jiang Wan and thought her nose was not a nose and her eyes were not eyes.

The people from the second and third rooms looked down on Jiang Wan even more. The second wife, Mrs. Wang, couldn't help but echo her daughter-in-law's words and mocked Jiang Wan.

"It seems that what my daughter-in-law said is right. You are a jinx. As soon as you entered the house, you caused our palace to be ransacked.

Now even your family has cut ties with you, if not you, who is the disaster star?"

"I think it's not just Jiang Wan, it's your first house that's dragging down our second and third houses. You have to be responsible."

The third wife, Mrs. Xu, looked coldly at the unconscious Song Jiuyuan. If it weren’t for Song Jiuyuan, their family wouldn’t have been implicated.

"My mother is right. If it weren't for my eldest brother, we wouldn't have been exiled."

"I don't want to be exiled. It's all my fault, brother and sister-in-law. It's all your fault!"

“…”

The children from the second and third wives all blamed the people from the first wife, but the old lady stood by and watched, showing her partiality to the point of being extremely biased.

Mrs. Song, who was already in a bad mood, almost fainted from anger. If Song Jiuyuan hadn't been carrying her on his back, the little leopard Song Jiuchi would have almost exploded.

Jiang Wan coldly glanced at the ugly faces of these people, "Why didn't you blame our eldest wife when my husband was crowned king?

Now you are in trouble, oh, you blame us, the eldest wife? You still want to blackmail me, you are dreaming!"

These vulgar words happened to fall into the ears of Song Jiuyuan who had just woken up. His eyelids trembled. He didn't expect that this scheming woman could be so sharp-tongued.

But, good scolding!

He opened his eyelids in pain, his lower body was in excruciating pain, but none of those who had once relied on him to make a living cared about him.

The human heart is terrifying, nothing more than this.

"Yuan'er!"

Mrs. Song supported her frail body and walked briskly to Song Jiuyuan's side, tears falling from her eyes.

This is a beautiful mother who only knows how to cry. Jiang Wan felt a little headache, but Chen Qian was already fuming with anger at her words.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to rebuke Jiang Wan, the officer who was watching the fun suddenly spoke in an angry voice:

"Shut up, everyone, and keep going!"
