Chapter 11] Mother-in-law defends her

Chen Fenghe: “…”

She has been bullied so much, and she still says it's just a momentary anger?

It seems that her mother-in-law is not only lovesick, but also naive.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Chen Fenghe roughly guessed what Qin Mengyue was thinking.

Considering Qin Mengyue's identity and experience as an ancient woman, what she said actually makes sense.

In ancient times, women had a low status. When they were on the road to exile, two women and three children were escorted by officials who could sign at the government office every time they arrived at a prefecture or county and get some supplies and money. However, due to the layers of exploitation, the amount that could be distributed to the exiles was probably very limited.

And if you get sick or something like that, you will be left with nowhere to go and can only wait for death.

The Qin family has at least five men and so many people. If they can establish good relationships and help the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law on the way, the probability of the two women and three children reaching the exile place alive will be greatly increased.

Compared to staying alive, it’s better to endure some anger.

Chen Fenghe sighed. She didn't plan to say anything more to Qin Mengyue at this moment.

Anyway, those idiots in the Qin family will only get worse, and she should be able to see their true colors by then.

If by that time, Qin Mengyue was still obsessed with being a family and didn't have the courage to draw a clear line with them, then she would have no choice but to stop caring about her and let her younger siblings live their own lives.

At that moment, the group was escorted out of the north gate by officials and set off towards the place of exile in the north.

On the first day of exile, although everyone was depressed, they were not physically tired, so most people were able to keep up the pace.

However, after walking for about an hour, some people started to complain of being tired.

"Ouch, ouch! I can't walk anymore! Jinzhong! Jinzhong! Come here and carry your mother for a while!" Old lady Zhang said grunting while leaning on a cane.

Qin Jinzhong was already over fifty, so why would he want to carry someone? He impatiently said to his second grandson, Qin Chang, "Chang'er! Go carry your grandmother for a while!"

Qin Chang didn't dare to refute when he heard it.

However, Qin Chang's father, Qin Jinzhong's second son, Qin Liqing, was not happy: "Dad! Why did you ask Chang'er to carry the baby? Why not let my eldest nephew Jian'er carry the baby?"

Qin Lizheng sneered upon hearing this, "I'm the eldest son, and Jian'er is the eldest grandson! Who is your son? Of course, your son should bear the blame!"

Qin Liqing couldn't help but sneer: "Eldest son and eldest grandson? The Qin family is gone! What's the point of talking about eldest son and eldest grandson! It's okay that you, the eldest branch, took advantage of me before, but now on this road of exile, who can control who? We, the second branch, will not be bullied!"

As he spoke, Qin Liqing said to Qin Chang: "Chang'er, your father will support you today, we won't carry you!"

Qin Jinzhong's face turned pale, and he was about to scold his second son when Qin Huanhuan came out to make trouble again.

"Grandfather, I think the old man has lost a lot of weight these days, so it doesn't really matter if my brothers and father carry him on their backs. Besides, the men in the family have to protect the whole family, and it's not easy for them to be tired. I think... it's better to let that bitch Chen Fenghe carry him on his back!"

Chen Fenghe: “…”

I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as this.

Qin Mengyue, who was standing by, obviously didn't expect Qin Huanhuan to say such a thing, and her face was filled with shock.

Instead of letting four or five of his sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons, who are strong and capable, carry the burden on his shoulders, he lets a weak woman like Feng He carry it?

She subconsciously looked at Qin Jinzhong.

It’s okay that Qin Huanhuan can’t figure things out, after all, she’s just a girl of seventeen or eighteen. Her second uncle is her elder after all, so he should be able to figure things out, right?

Unexpectedly, Qin Jinzhong glanced at Chen Fenghe, nodded, and said, "Let that bitch carry it! Go and call her over!"

Qin Mengyue: "..."

At that moment, Qin Huanhuan and her mother Qian came over happily to give orders.

In the past, when they saw the empress and the crown princess, they would kneel on the ground in fear and would not even dare to raise their heads to take a look.

Now the Empress and the Crown Princess have fallen on hard times and have become abandoned women and traitors, even lower than them!

Naturally, they rushed forward and wanted to step on him hard.

"Chen Fenghe, you heard it too! If you want to become a member of the Qin family, you have to be useful! Now is the time to use you! Go and carry the ancestor on your back for a few hours!" Qin Huanhuan said arrogantly.

She hadn't taken revenge for the two slaps she had just received because the police stopped her, so now was the perfect time to take revenge!

However, Chen Fenghe ignored her and continued to walk forward slowly.

Seeing this, Qian was furious: "Chen Fenghe, can't you hear what my daughter said? This is the order of the father-in-law!"

Chen Fenghe then lazily said, "Eunuch? What eunuch? Eunuch Qin? There doesn't seem to be anyone like him in the palace. What's going on? Could it be that he recently became a eunuch after being castrated?"

When Qian heard this, her face turned twisted with anger.

The father-in-law she was talking about was not the same as the 'father-in-law' in Shen Fenghe's mouth!

Chen Fenghe was clearly scolding Qin Jinzhong for being incompetent, and all his sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons were bastards!

"Big sister! Look at what nonsense your daughter-in-law is saying! As a mother-in-law, don't you do anything about it?"

Qian angrily pointed the finger at Qin Mengyue.

Qin Mengyue frowned and looked at Qian, then said:

"Second sister-in-law, you have a son and a daughter, both of whom are Grandma's great-grandchildren. Why don't you let your son carry her? The road is full of potholes. Men are stronger, so they should be more stable than women, right? Or, when Huanhuan suggested letting Feng He carry her, she actually wanted Feng He to trip and hurt Grandma? That way, you can have one less burden."

When these words were spoken, Qian and Qin Huanhuan were dumbfounded!

They don’t have this idea!

On the other side, old lady Zhang's face suddenly changed. She picked up her walking stick and hit her son Qin Jinzhong.

"You unfilial son! So that's what you had in mind! You want that bitch to carry me on her back so she can throw me to death? Fine! I'll beat you to death today, you unfilial son!"

Qin Jinzhong was beaten so hard that he howled in pain. He dodged and said, "Mom! Stop hitting me! Isn't it enough that I know I'm wrong? Chang'er! You should carry me! After you carry me for an hour, Jian'er can do the rest!"

After hearing what Qin Mengyue said, Chen Fenghe couldn't help but be shocked.

According to what Qin Mengyue had just said to her, that 'we are all one family', she had thought that Qin Mengyue would persuade her to be patient and just recite the passage, since it wasn't that heavy for an elderly person anyway.

But unexpectedly, she would speak out to defend herself!

Moreover, the reasons given for the rebuttal were well-reasoned and directly provoked internal strife within the Qin family!
