"Of the twenty-four maids and servants in the Wind Chaser Courtyard, seven want to stay, and the rest want to leave with the young lady."
Ningshuang brought two stacks of indentures and said in a low voice with a frown, "Madame Sun also wants to stay."
"It's okay. Just hand her indenture over to the Marquis' Mansion." Wei Yunlan had known in her previous life that the nanny who came with her as a dowry would abandon her and join the Marquis' Mansion. She was not surprised by this result. Most people wanted to leave with her, which proved that she was not a failure as a master.
"Madam, the Crown Prince..."
With a bang, Nanny Sun fell to her knees at the door of the main room. "The Wei family is in such a bad condition now. There will be no good life after you go back. Why are you doing this?"
Wei Yunlan felt a chill in her heart as she looked at Nanny Sun, who was still showing concern for her.
In her previous life, it was Nanny Sun who mixed the medicine powder sent by Xue Linglong into her meals, causing her originally healthy body to become weaker day by day.
"No need to say more, I've made up my mind to leave. Ningshuang, leave the keys to Zhufeng Courtyard and my private vault to Nanny Sun for safekeeping." Seeing the flash of joy in Nanny Sun's eyes, Wei Yunlan had already seen her future fate.
If you repay evil with kindness, how can you repay kindness?
Wei Yunlan will not let go of those who have hurt her, nor will she feel guilty towards those who still have good intentions towards her.
She handed the indentures of the maids who chose to leave to Tingxue, "Give them the indentures and give each of them an extra six months' salary. If they have nowhere to go after leaving the mansion, they can first stay at my dowry farm in the suburbs of Beijing."
The farm will still be useful in the future, so she has no intention of selling it.
Calculating the time, the decree to confiscate the Wei family’s property and exile them must have already been issued.
The family must be in chaos at this time, but as far as she could remember, the Wei family would be escorted out of the capital by soldiers before the city gates fell today. She didn't have much time left, so she had to make all the necessary preparations before reuniting with her family.
From forcing Shen Feng to sign the divorce agreement to packing up and preparing to leave, less than half an hour had passed.
The banquet in front had not yet ended when Wei Yunlan left through the main gate with more than a dozen maids and servants.
Each person only has a small bag in his hand.
The guests who were looking out of the courtyard noticed this and were surprised, "Why are you so anxious that you don't even send someone to move the dowry?"
Someone who was well-informed immediately lowered his voice, "You may not know that the wife of Right Censor-in-Chief Gao is a descendant of Gao Tianshi during the previous emperor's time. Now it has been discovered that the harem witchcraft case five years ago is related to the old items in Tianshi Mansion, and the emperor has just issued an order to confiscate the property of Censor Wei and his family and exile them. If it weren't for the virtuous concubine in the palace to intercede for them, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to save their heads. Although they have been confiscated and exiled, at least they have saved their lives."
"Hiss...confiscation of property and exile."
"Will there be no more Wei family in the capital from now on?"
"No wonder the Marquis of Jinyang Mansion agreed to the divorce of the Crown Prince's wife."
The Crown Prince’s wife, Wei, is the legitimate daughter of Wei Maolin, the Right Censor-in-Chief of the Inspectorate!
Who doesn't know that the harem witchcraft case five years ago was nonsense?
Wei Maolin was probably being retaliated against for impeaching the Second Prince's uncle's family some time ago.
In the past and present dynasties, is there any precedent of punishing the censor?
But the current emperor has done many stupid things, but no one dares to mention it.
The daughter of the Wei family is a woman of affection and loyalty. She divorced her parents and returned home at this critical juncture, probably with the intention of standing by her parents' side through thick and thin. She didn't even dare to take her dowry with her, for she knew that even if she took it away, it would be difficult to keep it.
And this Jinyang Marquis Mansion...
Seeing the decline of the Wei family, the Xue family, who had made great contributions in offering treasures and was awarded the title of Shangqi Duwei, suddenly became a new noble from a merchant. They then abandoned the prince's wife and took his concubine as his wife.
This kind of fawning and fence-sitting behavior is truly despicable!
…
Leaving the Xuanwu Gate where the nobles’ residences are clustered.
Only Tingxue, Ningshuang and Suihe were left by Wei Yunlan's side.
Wei Yunlan had just told them the news that the Wei family was convicted, but no one chose to leave.
"Miss, are we going back directly to the Wei family now?" Tingxue asked.
Wei Yunlan shook her head, "No, let's go shopping separately first."
The disaster did not affect the married woman, as the news of her divorce and return home had not spread so quickly. She took this opportunity to prepare the things she would need on the road of exile.
Of course, we can't prepare anything that's too eye-catching. "Ningshuang, take Suihe to buy a mule cart, and buy some easy-to-store rice and flour food, and thick winter clothes."
"Tingxue, go to Chen's Pharmacy in Huaihua Lane and ask Shopkeeper Chen to buy some commonly used medicinal herbs, especially those for keeping out the cold and reducing fever, and ointments for treating external injuries."
These are the things that she is going to take away obviously, but she still has a large space in her hands waiting to be filled.
What is stored in the space is the trump card that ensures that their family can arrive at Beiguan safely.
