Su Qingning felt the voice was very familiar. She turned around and saw an elderly couple in gorgeous clothes and several young men and women hurrying towards her.
The eyes of the group of people looking at her were full of pain and pity.
Only then did I remember that I had a grandparents' home in a rich enemy country.
It's a pity that the status of Daqian merchants is lowly.
After Su Bingsheng's scumbag father borrowed money from his father-in-law's family to study and pass the imperial examinations, he turned against them and oppressed his father-in-law's family in every way.
After Gu left, not only did he not let them see Yuan, he also often extorted money from the Gu family under the name of Yuan.
The Gu family thought that if they took the money, Prime Minister Su would be nicer to Yuan. Unfortunately, all the money went into Aunt Shen's pocket, and Yuan was locked in the backyard, still eating the leftovers of the meal.
Perhaps affected by the emotions in her original remaining body, Su Qingning couldn't help but tear up when she saw her grandparents who really cared about her.
"Grandfather, grandmother, eldest cousin, eldest cousin!"
Grandmother Lin came over and hugged Su Qingning. When she touched her, she found that she was so thin that her whole body was just bones. She couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Oh my Ningning! Wuwu... it's all because of your grandma and grandpa who are useless. They made you suffer!"
"Grandma has dreamed of meeting you for the past few years, but who would have thought... who would have thought... wuwu... after finally meeting you, you were implicated and exiled..."
After all, Lin was the head of a large family, so she stopped crying after a few cries. She immediately took a small bundle and handed it to Grandmother Liu Qing.
"My dear relatives, this is our token of appreciation. We hope you will take care of yourself and take care of us, Ning Ning."
Liu Qing's expression softened, and he didn't take the package.
"Since it was sent by my in-laws, let's give it to Ningning for safekeeping. Keep it. Ningning is now a member of the Xiao family, and we will never treat her badly."
Seeing that the Xiao family members all looked frank and honest, and that they were indeed in line with the legendary upright family tradition, Lin felt much more relieved.
He pulled Su Qingning aside and gave her another big burden.
The prison uniforms were very thin and could not hide anything. She also sewed a small tight-fitting trousers for Su Qingning and quietly tied them around her waist.
The bag looked bulging, and one could tell at a glance that it was filled with banknotes.
"Child, this is the entanglement that your grandmother prepared for you. The Xiao family are all good people, and your grandmother will let them go this way. But you have to be on guard. Even if they look kind, you have to keep an eye on them, so that they won't harm you easily."
"Yes, I know. Grandma, please let me go."
Although she is now the richest person in Daqian in name and in reality, these banknotes are nothing to her.
But true love is precious, and I was deeply moved to see my elders care about me so sincerely. So I earnestly told him:
"Grandmother, you should go south as soon as possible. The capital has not had any rain for three consecutive months, and several states in the north have suffered from drought and locust plagues. I'm afraid the luck has not been good in the past few years, so you'd better go south to hide."
Lin frowned after hearing what Su Qingning said, and thought of the news from the northern border not long ago. She felt that what she said made sense.
"Okay, I'll discuss this with your grandfather when I get back. Recently, everyone has been saying that there are jade mines in Lingnan, and many people actually believed the rumors and went there to mine. These people are working there, and they have boosted the local economy. Lingnan is not as desolate as the rumors say."
"We're just going to go there to set down roots, so you guys can take care of us when you get there."
Hearing this, Su Qingning's eyes lit up.
Only then did I realize that I was so busy facing various dangers as soon as I came here that I almost forgot about this matter!
Now I remembered that near the end of the original book, it mentioned that jadeite deposits stretching over several mountains were discovered in the southern part of Lingnan.
The mine belonged to Yangcheng. When Cheng Bu heard the news, he immediately blocked the resources, secretly recruited soldiers and horses, and soon he declared himself king!
Although some jadeite raw materials have been dug there, they have been looking in the wrong direction. It was not until three years later that a real jadeite mine stretching for hundreds of feet was discovered in the mountains a few miles away from the current development area!
Su Qingning now felt that all the treasures in the mountain were marked with his name.
At this time, everyone around her looked sad and grief-stricken. Although she appeared calm on the surface, she was extremely excited inside. She wished she could teleport to the "wild land" in the south of the ridge immediately and take over the entire jade mine in advance!
It was a pity that her space could not teleport so far at once, and there were many cluttered eyes in the Gyeonggi area, so she could only follow the exile team for a while.
Seeing that Su Qingning was much more mature and steady than when she was a child, Lin was more relaxed. But she was still reluctant to leave, so she held her hand and gave her a lot of instructions.
Seeing this, Xiao Huaishuo turned his wheelchair over and said softly,
"Don't worry, grandma. We will take good care of her... Ningning."
Besides his younger sister, this was the first time he called another girl by her maiden name. When he said 'Ning Ning', he stuttered uncontrollably, and an abnormal blush appeared on his face.
"That's good... That's good... Huaishuo, you are a good child..."
With tears in her eyes, Lin patted Xiao Huaishuo gently.
Only then did she notice her new grandson-in-law.
The boy's posture was as straight as a pine tree, his face was as handsome as a jade, his body was strong, and his good looks were truly unparalleled in the world.
Unfortunately, he was paralyzed at a young age and was confined to a wheelchair.
The more Lin looked at her grandson-in-law, the more satisfied she became. She became more determined to quickly settle down in Lingnan and find a famous doctor to treat Xiao Huaishuo's leg disease.
Only then did she take her husband and grandchildren and slowly leave.
As for the Su family, they just learned the sad news of the exile this morning, and everyone hung their heads, as if they haven't recovered yet.
Although Shen's family had benefited a lot from Su Bingsheng's connections, they were now afraid of being implicated by the Su family.
A maid was sent over, who left a bag behind and left.
However, Su Qingning had already ransacked the Su Mansion, leaving it empty-handed. Now, all the members of the Su family are extremely poor.
Aunt Shen relied on the small gift from her parents' home. After all, she was the richest among them, so she spoke with more confidence than before.
Su Qingyin was devastated by the series of bad news this morning, and her eyes were out of focus.
I thought Su Qingning wouldn't be much better than me.
As a result, the rich enemy Gu family sent Su Qingning a huge burden.
Then I saw Su Qingning being protected by the Xiao family like a little princess.
Finally, we saw Hsiao Wai-shuo staying close to Su Ching-ning. He, who was originally aloof, even talked a lot to Su Ching-ning's grandmother.
The little bit of rationality left in me was completely shattered, and I felt like I was about to be buried in the overwhelming jealousy, and I was suppressed to the point of being unable to breathe.
The seat next to Xiao Huaishuo was supposed to be hers!
Why don't they hate Su Qingning who married in place of them, but treat her so well? !
A hint of sinister calculation flashed in Su Qingyin's eyes, and she walked towards Su Qingning pretending to be aggrieved.
"Sister! How could you do this to me? It was me who had an engagement with the Xiao family! You actually made me faint and got into the sedan chair yourself!"
"Wuwu...Sister, you are so cruel!"
