Chapter 2 House Confiscation
Zhu Mingqing ran almost as fast as the wind. When he passed by other rooms, he took away all the things when no one was paying attention.
Rather than letting the inhuman royal family take advantage of it, it is better to give it to her.
As long as these people don't cause trouble on the road of exile, she will always take them into consideration.
No matter what, living again in the original owner's body, some things are always unavoidable.
The accounting office of the palace was very busy at this time. The people sent by the old princess shouted at them to hurry up, and boxes of silver were placed in the yard.
Never mind, it’s already this time, and they can’t guess that the money was taken away by her anyway.
Almost in the blink of an eye, several servants watched the silver disappear, thinking it was haunted, and started shouting and making a mess.
After finishing the last game, Zhu Mingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When she slowly returned to the room, Fen Tao was already running around in circles anxiously. Only when she saw that her wife was safe and sound did she breathe a sigh of relief. Then she heard a noisy commotion outside.
Zhu Mingqing raised his eyebrows, here it comes!
She took another sip of water before slowly getting up.
Before leaving, thinking of the reason why the Luo family was exiled, she opened a drawer and put away the things inside.
…
Jiuqu Alley, located in the west of the capital, is only one road away from the imperial palace and is a place of power and nobility that is well-known to the people of the capital.
The road is lined with tall willow trees, providing shade and a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
Only one family lived here, the residence of Prince Luo, the only prince of a different surname who was appointed by the founding emperor of the Southern Xia Dynasty.
The Luo Wang Mansion, where no one dared to make noise in the past, is now in chaos.
The servants knelt on the ground, and the masters of each room were also escorted out, crying and shouting in dishevel.
The old princess and Luo Wenhong were also carried out unconscious.
The scene was very lively, as if there were hundreds of bees buzzing non-stop.
As soon as Zhu Mingqing appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's angry gazes.
She looked around and her eyes fixed on a young man.
The other person was wearing a light blue round-necked robe. The style was simple, but it gave off a sense of elegance.
He has light eyebrows and narrow eyes, and his appearance is not very handsome, but as long as you take a look at him, you will be attracted by the cold and aloof temperament of the other party.
When he saw himself, a trace of imperceptible concern flashed across his eyes.
He doesn't look like the Holy Father Boss who is not close to her.
He also protected a man and a woman behind him, who were the second villain.
However, I never expected that the villain in the book would have such an outstanding appearance.
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Mingqing's eyes, and then he walked over very calmly and stood beside him calmly.
There was a hint of surprise in Luo Huai's dark eyes. His mother didn't cry?
Before he could ask any questions, the old Prince Luo, who had just woken up, was brought over. His gray hair was messy and his face was pale.
When he saw the person holding the imperial edict, he was immediately furious.
"Qi Cheng, why is it you!"
Deputy General Qi laughed heartily: "Your Majesty is wise and knows how to appoint the right people. Why can't it be me?"
Luo Huai laughed at himself in his heart. He never expected that the person who came to confiscate his house would be Uncle Qi, who was picked up and raised by his grandfather and grew up with his father.
After all, he was only a fifteen-year-old boy. He had suffered a series of setbacks recently, so he couldn't help but say, "Roll your eyes..."
Before he could even utter the word "wolf", someone pulled his sleeve.
Luo Huai frowned and looked over with dissatisfaction.
Zhu Mingqing's voice was hoarse as he slowly said, "It's too late to say anything now. Let's think about what to do next."
A hint of surprise flashed through Luo Huai's mind. He couldn't believe that these were the words a weak mother would say.
Zhu Mingqing didn't care what he thought, he just didn't want to cause any more trouble.
The road to exile is already a life-or-death journey. In the book, Luo Huai scolded the other party heartily, but Deputy General Qi was a real villain. He bribed the escorts to make the Luo family suffer. The third brother's left leg became lame because of the untimely treatment.
"Since everyone is here, let's receive the order!" Deputy General Qi felt very happy when he saw that they dared to be angry but not to speak.
In the past, he was belittled and ridiculed, and was the watchdog of Prince Luo's mansion.
I am still looked down upon by the Luo family, but so what? Now I am still kneeling in front of him and letting him ridicule me.
"General Luo Tingshan, the Grand Marshal of the Expedition, disobeyed the Imperial Order. Due to his selfish desires, he caused the annihilation of 50,000 soldiers. Considering the legacy of the Luo family's ancestors, I will demote all members of the Luo Palace to commoners and exile them to the northern border city."
As soon as the words fell, everyone burst into tears and shouted that it had nothing to do with them and begged the saint to show some mercy.
"Ahem... I want to see His Majesty." Old Prince Luo coughed violently in excitement, deeply regretting that he had picked up the person and raised him.
It seems that Tingshan’s affairs are also related to him.
Deputy General Qi looked down at him with a smug smile on his face. "Old Prince, since we're acquainted, I'd like to advise you not to cause any more trouble. After all, the road to exile is quite dangerous, haha."
"You..." In grief and anger, Old Prince Luo spat out a mouthful of blood.
Deputy General Qi waved his hand, and the officers and soldiers rushed into the backyard. "Search the palace! All the property is confiscated."
The imperial edict has been issued, and the outcome of confiscation of property and exile is inevitable.
Everyone was heartbroken when suddenly a voice pointed the finger at the eldest wife.
"How dare you still be alive? If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have ended up like this!"
Zhu Mingqing looked over and knew the other person's identity according to his memory.
The second wife, Mrs. Song, was the legitimate daughter of the Song family, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and also the niece of the old princess, Mrs. Tian.
She originally wanted to marry her unlucky husband, but was snatched away by the original owner, a merchant girl.
Since then, he has been at odds with the original owner.
He and the old princess played the role of a good guy and a bad guy, and they fooled the original owner around.
Song stared at Zhu Mingqing with gritted teeth. It was this pretty face and pitiful look that deceived the general.
She is still pretending now. Who is she showing off to? I hope she won’t reveal her true colors.
The others' attention was also diverted, and they all glared at the people in the main house with gritted teeth.
Zhu Mingqing raised the corner of his mouth, his tone gentle but sharp: "You didn't die, so of course we have to live well. Now you're making sarcastic remarks, but I don't know who was the one who acted so pitiful and made a scene when my husband wanted to divide the family property, and wanted to carve the words "Luo Wangfu" on his face when he went out."
"You..." Song's face turned black with anger. She wanted to refute but couldn't win the argument.
"Stop talking. It's father's fault." Suddenly, a weak voice came, and someone tugged at Zhu Mingqing's clothes to stop him.
When Prince Luo heard this, he almost fainted from anger.
If I wasn't physically disabled, I would really want to give him a blow to the head.
Zhu Mingqing was also disgusted and turned around to glance at the other person.
He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a depressed and dejected look on his face, and next to him was a pregnant woman crying.
This is... the boss Luo Feng and his daughter-in-law Wu Yunyun?
Zhu Mingqing's expression turned cold. The book said that the boss couldn't tell right from wrong, but after experiencing it personally, he realized how brainless he was.
He is your biological father. Even if he is really wrong, is it really appropriate for you, as a son, to point it out in public?
What's more, anyone with a brain would find this matter suspicious.
Zhu Mingqing narrowed his eyes and smiled, then slapped him without saying anything: "Does it hurt?"
Luo Feng grimaced in pain and asked loudly, "Why did you hit me?"
"It's normal to feel pain. It's your fault for talking back to your mother. You deserve to be beaten!"
Luo Feng choked and was about to say something when he was frightened back by the other party's raised arm.
Old Prince Luo thought to himself: Well done.
Luo Fu and Luo Xiao saw the shock in each other's eyes. Luo Fu tugged at her second brother's clothes and whispered, "Is she okay?"
Luo Huai shook his head and said nothing, but his heart was full of doubts.
Why is my mother acting so abnormal today? Is she really upset?
The others also looked at each other, occasionally looking up at the Crown Prince's wife and whispering to each other.
"Enough, shut up!" Deputy General Qi swung the rope to the ground with a snap, scaring everyone so much that they dared not make a sound.
"Everyone, listen carefully. The Luo family members stand on the left, and the servants stand on the right..."
Fen Tao wiped away her tears and wanted to follow her wife, but she was stopped by her wife with a look, so she had to stand in another team.
She touched the thing in her arms and made up her mind.
Deputy General Qi was giving orders when an officer suddenly came running over in a hurry: "Sir, this is bad. We didn't find any money or treasures."
Deputy General Qi's expression changed. He looked at Old Prince Luo and threatened, "Your Majesty intends to give the Luo family a chance to live, but it seems the Luo family doesn't value it. I can only report this to Your Majesty truthfully."
