Chapter 27: What about sending away beggars?
"I hope so." Madam Song Er always had a bad feeling. She knew her daughter well, but she didn't know whether she was willing to be involved with them.
Jiang Wan has been keeping an eye on every move of their second branch, and at the same time, she has more and more memories of how Song Jiaojiao bullied the original owner in the past.
If she dares to come, Jiang Wan will definitely not show mercy.
The sky darkened, and just when Jiang Wan thought that Song Jiaojiao would not come tonight, a farmer came with a torch.
"Sir, it's not convenient to rest outside in the middle of the night with heavy dew. Our farm is just ahead. You can go there and rest for a night."
Ren Bang looked at the farmer in front of him with deep eyes, "We are the officials who escort prisoners all year round."
He was reminding the farmer that he had better not have any other ulterior motives, otherwise these people would not show mercy.
"I know what you are talking about. Our master saw you passing by and thought that you were tired, so he asked you to go to the farm to rest."
The farmer's humble attitude moved the officials, and finally Ren Bang agreed to take them to the farm.
Everyone had different thoughts, but when Jiang Wan saw the second lady Song's upturned lips, she realized that this person was probably Song Jiaojiao's.
She obediently followed them to the farm. The officials were arranged to sleep in the rooms, and these exiled people naturally could not sleep very well.
So they were all arranged in several servants' rooms, which were also the kind with large bunk beds. There were twenty or thirty people in one room, and there was no privacy at all.
Jiang Wan didn't care. It was better than sleeping in the wild. She glanced at the people in the second room and silently packed up her bedding with Madam Song.
Not knowing whether she could sleep tonight, Jiang Wan put on her clothes and lay down early. Song Jiuyuan glanced at her with complicated eyes and also closed his eyes to rest.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Wan heard the cry of wild cats outside. She knew it was Song Jiaojiao. She suddenly opened her eyes and met Song Jiuyuan's shining eyes.
This guy hadn't slept yet either. There was a middle-aged woman between the two of them, and they both tacitly kept silent.
Sure enough, there was the rustling sound of clothes being put on, followed by very light footsteps. It was the Second Lady leaving.
Jiang Wan didn't move until Chen Qian also left quietly. Then she quietly got up, covered the pillow with the quilt, pretending that she was resting.
In the darkness, Jiang Wan saw Song Jiuyuan's mouth move, as if to say be careful. She nodded slightly and left the room.
When there was no one around, she used her special abilities to chase after them, and Madam Song Er, who was walking in front, quickly entered a room.
Then Chen Qian followed closely. Jiang Wan moved quickly and landed on the roof of the house, pulling away the tiles.
Then you could hear the mother and daughter in the room hugging each other and crying. To be precise, it was Madam Song who was crying.
"Jiaojiao, mother's life is so hard, wuwuwu..."
Madam Song II was crying loudly. Song Jiaojiao was dressed luxuriously and her voice sounded a little tired.
"Mom, I know everything. Don't cry yet. We need to get down to business quickly, or else the officials might find out that we're meeting secretly."
Song Jiaojiao was actually very scared too. Although she was already married, her husband's family now disliked her a little because of the collapse of the palace.
So she didn't dare let her husband's family know that she came to meet the Song family secretly.
Madam Song Er didn't know about Song Jiaojiao's worries yet, and said hurriedly:
"Well, Jiaojiao, you will suffer from no one to help you in the future."
Mrs. Song Er really felt sorry for her daughter, and a few words softened Song Jiaojiao's heart, "Mother, how about I take you away and you hide."
In fact, Song Jiaojiao felt a little regretful as soon as she finished speaking. Now she herself was in a difficult situation, so how could she help her family?
Chen Qian, who was outside the door, became anxious and scratched the doors and windows fiercely, but she didn't dare to make any sound and was almost exposed.
"no."
Madam Song shook her head hurriedly, "Your father and your brother are both injured and can't run away.
If they catch us, we will implicate you. Jiaojiao, just prepare some ointments and food for us. Dad and mom will definitely make it to the wilderness alive."
"good."
Song Jiaojiao was touched and did not insist. Mrs. Song then realized that her beloved daughter was just being polite to her, and her heart ached.
"Jiaojiao."
Song Jiaojiao stuffed a purse into the hands of Second Lady Song, "Mother, here are some small change, you can use it to bribe the officials."
After that, she handed a set of coarse linen clothes to Mrs. Song Er, "I hid a hundred taels of silver in this dress, and also prepared some food and medicine."
Song Jiaojiao sighed, "Knowing that the palace was exiled, my husband and I have already had a grudge, so I can't prepare much, mother, please don't be offended."
"Mom doesn't blame you."
Madam Song II gently touched the top of Song Jiaojiao's head and said, "Just be fine."
She felt sad. People are selfish. Even though she was very sad, she still chose not to understand Song Jiaojiao's dismissive tone.
"Um."
Song Jiaojiao suddenly thought of Jiang Wan, whom she used to hate the most, and couldn't help asking, "Mom, how is Jiang Wan? Did she bully you?"
"I get angry when I mention her."
So Madam Song excitedly accused Jiang Wan and told Song Jiaojiao all the evil things she had done along the way.
After saying this, he added: "If she hadn't been exiled, she would definitely bully me and your brother in the palace."
“That’s too much!”
Song Jiaojiao clutched her handkerchief angrily, "Mom, there's not much I can do for you, but I can find a chance to deal with her tomorrow."
Her hatred for Jiang Wan was deep-rooted, but it was only because the original owner's mother loved her very much and had a wealthy family, so Song Jiaojiao was jealous.
Unfortunately, the original owner's mother had a short life and no one protected her after her death, so Song Jiaojiao developed the habit of bullying Jiang Wan.
"Jiaojiao, if it is convenient for you, it would be best to completely get rid of Jiang Wan!"
Madam Song gritted her teeth, and Chen Qian outside the door nodded hurriedly, leaving Jiang Wan speechless.
It seems that the original owner, this cannon fodder female supporting role, was quite hateful, no wonder she would commit suicide in various ways.
After they finished reminiscing about the past, Chen Qian hurried back to the room first, and Madam Song Er also left quietly. Jiang Wan immediately got into bed before them.
Hearing her coming back, Song Jiuyuan glanced at her and then continued to rest with peace of mind.
After a while, Chen Qian and Madam Song Er lay down one after the other. Jiang Wan waited silently, and after the two of them had rested, she got up again silently.
Song Jiuyuan didn't notice it this time, probably because he didn't expect Jiang Wan to cause trouble again.
After she got up, she first went to the side of Madam Song Er and took away the silver and banknotes given to her by Song Jiaojiao.
She felt a little disgusted when she saw the banknotes. If she remembered correctly, although Song Jiaojiao's wedding was not as grand as the Ten Miles of Red Makeup, Mrs. Song did not treat her badly.
There were dozens of dowries, but when her parents' family met with disaster, she only gave such a small amount of silver notes as a gift to send away a beggar?
No wonder Mrs. Song looked so strange just now. It seemed that she was hurt by her daughter.
