Su Qi and Gu Beiheng simply squatted down, lowering their heads and holding the child. They tacitly refused to express their gratitude to the emperor. At the same time, they cursed in their hearts, "Shameless dog emperor."
Gu Beiheng asked Su Qi to carry Erbao on his back, "Qiqi, we'll be in Chongshan Town tomorrow. Some relatives and friends will come to say goodbye."
His biological mother had an older brother who worked as a shopkeeper in a business in the capital. The concubine had no close relatives, so he didn't know if anyone would come over.
Su Qi thought to herself, this is more like it. I thought I would only have one set of clothes to wear all the way to Jinyang Prefecture. I was just looking for an opportunity to take some things out to use.
Su Qi knew that Gu Beiheng would notice something was wrong with her over time, but she didn't intend to explain it to him.
She also didn't know whether her original relatives would come?
I heard that these relatives and officials were reprimanded by the emperor and were forced to reflect on their mistakes at home. It would be understandable if no one came.
"Even if no one comes, we have to find a way to buy a basket." Su Qi has everything in his space, but he can't take it out so directly.
There's no proper reason.
"Leave it to me."
Gu Beiheng's eyes were grim as he stood beside Su Qi.
The accompanying police officers tied each prisoner's legs with two ropes, leaving a piece of rope in the middle.
Especially like the gourds on the gourd vine. String them together one by one to prevent anyone from escaping and make management easier.
We walked another thirty kilometers before stopping.
They had to walk fifty kilometers every day, with almost no rest time except for meal times. If they wanted to suffer less, they had to bribe the officials.
Old Huang led everyone into the post station.
"That room inside is where you'll live. Don't give me any nonsense with your demands." Old Huang touched his belly with an impatient look. "If you have any objections, come find me. I, Master Huang, will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
Several other officers pushed and shoved the Gu family into the large bunk bed room.
Su Qi looked over and saw a row of large bunk beds along the entire length of the house. There was no privacy or distinction between men and women; everyone lived in the same room.
Having just been exiled, these people from the Gu family didn’t know how to loot.
In her previous life, Su Qi had already grabbed the exit when she rushed to grab food and board the subway. The sharp-eyed person ran over first and placed the cloak in his hand at the edge, near the window.
She sat down casually and waved to Gu Beiheng. "Beiheng, bring Dabao and Erbao over here."
Gu Beiheng saw Su Qi beside him just a moment ago, and when he was distracted again, she had slipped away to the big bunk bed.
She was very sensible in adapting to the local customs, unlike the wives of her other brothers who were still sighing and wiping tears.
When the people from the second branch of the Gu family saw Su Qi running in and grabbing the seat at the edge, they hurried to occupy another corner.
"Hey. Please give up your seats. I like to sleep on the side. I'm giving it up on my own initiative and won't argue with you." A tall and strong old woman jumped out from the crowded crowd.
He looks unfamiliar and should be a branch of the Gu family.
There were several strong young men standing beside him.
Su Qi squinted his eyes and said nothing.
The old woman wore a gray headband on her head, and her gray hair was gathered into a simple bun at the back.
He stood in front of Su Qi with a cane, and seeing that she didn't react, he thrust a finger straight at her. "You idiot! If I didn't share the same surname as you, would I have endured this hardship?
This is all owed to us by your family. From now on, just treat us well and I won’t argue with you. Otherwise, I won’t be easy to deal with either.”
The other members of the Gu family remained silent, as if they also felt that they had implicated the Gu family's side branches.
"Take your hands off me." Gu Beiheng's cold voice came as he placed Dabao and Erbao next to Su Qi. "Gu Yuanshan, are you determined to bully my wife?"
A man standing behind Gu Wu Pozi shrank back, holding his sleeves with his hands. "Gu Beiheng, my grandmother is right. It's all because of you, the main family, who angered the emperor, and now our branch has suffered misfortune as well."
Now it's just about asking your wife to move to another place. She's so young, where can't she sleep?"
The old woman's wife spat, "That's right. How dare a young wife compete with her elders for a seat?"
Fang Xiaoya held Jingru in her arms and watched all this silently. She couldn't help but speak:
"Second sister-in-law. Why don't you just give way? After all, this is the elder."
Little Gu Jingru stared at Su Qi's family with her big black grape eyes and reached out to go over.
Coaxed by Fang Xiaoya, the little girl still stretched out her two little hands. She mumbled, "Brother, brother. Hug me." She wanted Dabao and Erbao to hug her.
Su Qi sat upright on the bunk bed, frowning at Gu Jingru's behavior, and swept a look of contempt over everyone.
"Elder? What kind of elder is she? Whenever she saw us in the past, she would always call us Madam Second Young Master and flatter us.
"If you're so shameless that you want to be an elder, you should look in the mirror and see if you're worthy. Even if this branch of the Gu family falls into decline, it's still better than you side branches clinging to the main family."
Su Qi no longer looked as gentle and transparent as before.
She sat on the large bunk bed, with the two children standing behind her. Gu Beiheng stood beside her with a cold expression, looking at the whole family as someone who was not to be trifled with.
Su Qi's words hit the nail on the head. In the past, she had never rushed to curry favor with the General's Mansion. She wanted to find good jobs for her children and grandchildren, and also get some silver and pearls from the General's wife to supplement the family income.
I'm so embarrassed now.
The other two branches watched all this coldly, and some of them thought that Mrs. Gu Wu shouldn't kick someone when he's down.
Some watched her riot, hoping to make it worse, letting out their anger and perhaps even gaining some benefits.
Mrs. Gu Wu raised the crutch in her hand and cursed viciously:
"I'll beat you to death, you shameless whore. You dare to argue with me? Don't you think you're that powerful now? I'll have someone strip you naked, and see how you can still be so arrogant?"
Gu Beiheng was quick-eyed and grabbed the crutch that Gu Wupo was poking at him.
Su Qi narrowed her eyes. She was not her original self.
Everyone thinks she is a pushover and wants to bully her to establish their authority.
"Boss, second brother. If anyone dares to bully your mother, beat them to death." The old woman's face turned black and her saliva was flying everywhere.
Before she could finish her words, Su Qi raised his hands and slapped her several times. Then he raised his foot and kicked the old woman out, where she was supported by her two sons.
"Gu Beiheng, your wife dared to hit my mother. Don't expect her to let it go if you don't give me an explanation today." The eldest son of Gu Wupo stared at Su Qi sinisterly, with a lewd look in his eyes.
From beginning to end.
General Gu and others were sitting on the other side, closing their eyes and pretending not to hear anything.
Gu Beiheng's biological mother, Concubine Liu, looked over with tears in her eyes, but she didn't dare to move an inch. She stood quietly beside Gu Wushen, "Master."
Zhang Yunyu snorted coldly, "The Beiheng family is too presumptuous. They should suffer a little."
Aunt Liu could only shed tears.
It's all her fault for not being able to protect the child.
Gu Beiheng did not miss the look of the crowd watching the fun, and there were also people who wanted to help but did not dare to speak.
Without his military uniform, Gu Beiheng was just an unfavored bastard.
Everything is to pave the way for the legitimate son.
Now, nothing is needed.
"Gu Qingshan, do you think you can call me by my name?" Gu Beiheng snapped the crutch in his hands with both hands and threw the broken piece to the ground. "No matter how poor I am, my woman is not someone you can bully."
His back was straight.
Every word and sentence is powerful:
"This position belongs to Su Qi. Anyone who wants to come here will have to try and survive my fist." Gu Beiheng's clenched fists made a crackling sound, but no one around dared to come over.
This moment.
He smelled of corpses and blood.
They forgot that this man had fought for his life on a battlefield with countless casualties.
"Forget it. We are all family, why bother?" Following the secret instructions of General Gu, Mrs. Gu said something to smooth things over.
