Chapter 39 Teaching the Tribesmen a Lesson
She put on her beautiful wedding dress and waited for her brother Zhi to come and marry her on a tall horse. Unexpectedly, what she received was an imperial decree to confiscate her property and exile her. The most hateful thing was that she was even branded a slave.
I was humiliating the Xia family yesterday, but I didn't expect that it would be my family's turn today.
At the city gate, he also met today's groom, Helian Zhi, and the two of them just looked at each other from a distance.
When the personnel's term expired, the official raised his whip high and shouted: "Hurry up, let's go."
A group of more than 500 people rushed forward under the drive of the officials, fearing that if they were a step slower, the whip would fall on them.
As they walked, they looked back at the city gate that was getting farther and farther away, and then they realized that they were really going to leave the capital.
From then on, there was no going back.
I don’t know if it was because of the fear of the future, but some people couldn’t help but burst into tears.
They walked and cried, knowing that once they were branded as slaves, their lives would be over and they would never be able to make a way out.
The same goes for future generations!
All the achievements and promotions he had made were gone in the blink of an eye at this moment.
The journey to exile was so difficult that it was unknown whether they could survive.
All kinds of crying, complaining, and cursing could be heard from the crowd...
The Xia family members were also among them: "It's all your fault for raising a good son. Instead of being a good son of a marquis, he chose to follow the rebels and do treason, and even implicate us."
"You have a good life of wealth and luxury, but you insist on doing something harmful. This is the good son you raised, Xia Chengsheng."
"Now you're done, aren't you? Not only are you exiled, but you've also forced your people to go with you to that place of exile. What kind of place is that? Not a blade of grass grows, bandits are rampant. You're asking them to die!"
All the members of the Xia family who were implicated glared at the Xia family and were filled with anger. Faced with such members of the family, Xia Chengsheng and his men just kept their heads down and continued on their way without saying a word.
No matter what they say, it is indeed their own family that has implicated them, but this is not what they want.
If an outsider said this to them, they would feel better, but if their own people said this to them, they would still feel very sad.
Xia Chengsheng could tolerate it, but Liu Youran couldn't: "You people, do you still have any conscience? How can you say such heartbreaking words?"
Faced with Liu Youran's anger, the Xia family members grew even more complacent, stiffening their necks and saying, "Then tell me, where did we go wrong? Isn't it your son's fault that we've all ended up like this?"
Liu Youran shouted directly, "My son is not like that. He is upright and selfless. He has received the emperor's great favor and is worthy of the people. He has no regrets."
"He didn't commit treason, but his superior did. They were together all the time, so he probably didn't know about it!"
"Besides, if a good prince didn't want to be tied to the same boat with you, would he ask the emperor to marry your abandoned woman?"
"That's right. Look at what kind of children you raised. One is a traitor and the other is an abandoned woman."
"What man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Your family's Jin Gui, your husband took a concubine, and she wanted a divorce!"
"She must have been disgusted by Helian Zhi's low official position and wanted to climb up the social ladder. Unexpectedly, this high position is dangerous. Look, not only did she get herself into trouble, but she also got us innocent people into trouble!"
Liu Youran's eyes were red with rage, and her hands were shaking uncontrollably. This pampered lady actually cursed: "You're talking nonsense! My son and my daughter are not like that. You people don't know anything, and you're just spouting shit!"
He said she could do it, but he said her son and daughter couldn't. His son was so outstanding and a man of great character.
Her daughter is even more outstanding. She is proficient in both civil and military affairs, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is not inferior to boys in any way.
Just because she said that he wanted her to live the life of an ordinary woman, taking care of her husband and children.
She shed all her radiance and got married obediently.
"Then why don't you go and explain to the emperor?"
"Could the Emperor possibly wrongly accuse you?"
"If your daughter isn't your daughter, then who is? It's just a case of losing more than gaining. The Prince of Zhennan is still the prince. Even if he's in exile, he still rides in a carriage. You still have to walk. You should let your daughter go over and seduce the prince. Maybe he'll be kind enough to let you ride. Anyway, your daughter is already second-hand goods, so she's familiar with doing this kind of thing..."
Xia Xing'er looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged woman with triangular eyes, a flat nose, and thin lips. She had a vicious face and her eyes were full of malice as she looked at the Xia family.
Xia Xing'er took two steps at a time and walked up to her. Before she could react, she grabbed her collar and slapped her twice in the face.
As the crisp sound of applause rang out, everyone around fell silent.
The woman covered her cheeks and screamed, "What are you doing, you bitch?"
"Of course I'm going to beat you up, bitch. I'm going to make you spew shit. Today I'm going to teach you how to behave and how to speak."
When Xia Zibo saw Xia Xing'er beating someone, his eyes sparkled. His aunt was so powerful and so cool. He really admired her so much!
Liu Youran looked at Xia Xing'er like this and sighed in her heart: This is her daughter!
Xia Xing'er looked around, and wherever her eyes went, everyone in the Xia family lowered their heads.
"When the Marquis' Mansion was not in trouble, each of you took advantage of it and did things in its name, didn't you?"
"Look at you all, you're so fat and strong, aren't you all supported by the Marquis' Mansion?"
"Why, you guys are so good at eating with your bowls in hand and cursing when you put them down. Who gave you that right?"
"If you have the guts, spit out everything you've eaten, and then come back here!"
"If you have no ability, just shut up! You think walking with chains is too easy, right? If that's the case, I can go talk to the officials."
She pointed to the shackles on her father and brother and said, "Let the officials put shackles on you too. I think they will be happy to do so."
The woman with the pointed chin and monkey cheeks tried to struggle a bit, but she reached out to grab Xia Xing'er's face: "You bitch, who do you think you are? If I don't show my power, you'll think I'm a sick cat. I'll scratch your foxy face until it's all scratched!"
Xia Xing'er used her internal energy and slapped the woman, sending her flying.
She rubbed her hands and said contemptuously: "You are the bitch, your whole family is a bitch, who are you acting as your mother to? You still want to grab your aunt's face, I will slap you to death, old thing!"
