As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused on Su Qingrou.
The women of the Xiao family had long been unhappy that she always bullied Su Qingning, and they followed suit not to be outdone.
"Oh - I remember now. Yesterday, Mr. Zhang flirted with Su Qingrou many times. Could it be that she poisoned Mr. Zhang out of hatred?!"
Sister-in-law Jiang Xinyue slapped her forehead, as if she suddenly remembered something:
"Hey - I did see a dark figure wandering into the kitchen last night when I woke up. Now that I think about it carefully, it's definitely not Su San!"
Liu Qing was so angry that he gnashed his teeth, as if he was ready to use his cane to beat Su Qingrou twice.
"Great! So the murderer is you! No wonder you were so eager to splash dirty water on my grandson's wife! So you wanted to clear yourself of suspicion!"
Seeing everyone glaring at her, the officers behind Zhao Jinhai were even ready to take action, waiting for the boss's order to arrest her and bring her to justice.
Su Qingrou was so frightened that she lost three of her six souls and her whole body was shaking.
When my mind got hot, I blurted out:
"Nonsense! You're talking nonsense! Lin 괗 and the others can testify! I stayed in the cave last night, how could I have gone into the kitchen to poison someone?!"
Wow!
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole cafeteria fell silent.
Lin 괗 them?
Spend the night in a cave?
Combined with the dense red and dark purple marks on Su Qingrou's body, what else is there that the old-timers here don't understand?
The looks in people's eyes changed from suspicion to greed, evil, and contempt.
After a moment of silence, the cafeteria was filled with even louder scolding than before.
"Shame on you!"
"I see! So you sold it out! You should have said it earlier. How could your brothers have the heart to doubt you?"
"How much is it? We want to keep you for a night today!"
…
On the Su family's side, Su Bingsheng and other illegitimate sons and daughters all looked as if it had nothing to do with them.
Although the concubines regretted not seeing Su Qingning's joke, they didn't mind seeing Su Qingrou's.
The approving look in front of him turned into contempt and ridicule. He followed everyone else in ridiculing Su Qingrou.
Su Qingrou stood at the center of the public opinion storm, and felt that the last piece of her shame had been stripped away.
The last line of defense in my heart was shattered and turned into ruins all over the ground.
He cried out "Wow" and ran outside like crazy.
Aunt Qin, who had been hiding in the crowd, burst into tears. She glared at everyone in the Xiao family fiercely and then chased after them.
From the Su family's shop came the sounds of Su Qingrou screaming, crying, and smashing things like a madman, but finally things calmed down after the official's angry scolding.
Everyone in the cafeteria had a big news this morning. They were all excited and chattering about Sister Su San's battle with the other guys last night.
When he got excited, he started digging up the Su family's big melon.
What about Su Bingsheng, who was poor and destitute at an early age, and who tried to seduce rich women at work, and who finally hooked up with the daughter of the wealthy Jia Gu family?
What is it that Qin Shi had countless concubines before her death, and Su Qingrou's biological father is actually unknown;
What Su Chengzhi's concubine is actually the wife of one of his classmates...
The Su family looked as if they had been executed in public; their faces turned the color of pig livers.
Zhao Jinhai had led exiles several times, but this was the first time he had seen a group of people with so many problems.
He immediately ordered Su Qingrou to be whipped 30 times for being a troublemaker, hoping to use him as an example to scare other restless people and make him clean up a bit.
Everyone packed up their belongings and set out on a new day of exile.
The sun was still hanging in the sky, ruthlessly burning everything on the earth.
The Xiao family drank the refreshing spiritual spring water and ate various exquisite snacks in Su Qingning's "bag", and they didn't feel very tired.
Special praise should be given to student 께爱, who put special sports insoles in everyone's new shoes.
People walking on the ground felt like they were walking on clouds. It was so comfortable!
Everyone was chatting and laughing along the way, walking briskly, and soon they were at the front of the team, having to stop from time to time to wait for the entire exile team.
The whole family looked relaxed and at ease. They didn't look like they were in exile, but rather like they were traveling.
The Xiao family never dreamed that exile would be so easy, and they were all grateful to Su Qingning.
The more Liu Qing looked at her, the more satisfied she became with her grandson's wife. She wanted to give Su Bingsheng a generous gift to thank him for bringing such a lucky star to the Xiao family.
Su Qingning also chatted with Xiao Huaishuo along the way.
Although both of them looked relaxed, they could not hide the slight worry between their brows. They were both paying careful attention to the surroundings.
Many people in the exile team had been watching the Xiao family's every move with suspicion, wondering how this family could have such good physical strength.
But after observing for a long time, he couldn't find any flaws. Fortunately, he attributed it to the fact that he was from a family of war gods, so his physical strength was naturally better than that of ordinary people. Then he continued to walk forward with his head down and miserable.
The situation at the end of the team, the Su family, was simply horrible.
Big news broke out one after another this morning, and now people have to endure all kinds of mocking and contemptuous looks when they walk on the street.
These delicate people had almost lost half their lives walking such a long distance, and now they had to endure the double destruction of their souls and bodies.
Each one of them is like a zombie, moving crookedly, relying only on that little bit of willpower to move forward.
After walking for more than two hours, Zhao Jinhai finally found an open space for everyone to rest.
As expected, there was no forest near the rest stop this time. The Xiao family members immediately took out some game that Su Qingning had hunted that morning and roasted them for dinner.
I have to say that Mrs. 괗's cooking skills are second to none. Coupled with the seasonings provided by Su Qingning, it has a bit of the flavor of modern night market barbecue.
It was so delicious that Su Qingning couldn't stop eating it.
Of course, coupled with the resentful looks of the Su family members next door who were eating steamed buns, it tasted even better.
After everyone finished their meal, they sat down and rested for a while.
Su Qingning, however, always had a bad feeling and was always observing the surrounding terrain.
According to the original book, the exile team encountered a landslide on the official road shortly after leaving the Gyeonggi region, and many people were unfortunately killed.
For some reason, Zhao Jinhai did not take everyone along the official road where accidents might happen today, but instead chose a remote road.
It stands to reason that now that they are getting farther and farther away from the site of the landslide, it should be safer, but Su Qingning still has some uneasy premonitions.
Xiao Huaishuo seemed to have discovered something as well. The two looked at each other and came together to the rope bridge that the exile team was about to pass.
The route they were currently taking was indeed shorter. This cable bridge spanned a mountain gorge that was a hundred feet deep, shortening the distance from Longde Prefecture to Xiangzhou by half.
After crossing the cable bridge, it is less than 40 miles to reach the next city.
But...
At this time, the sun was shining brightly in the sky. The two of them looked carefully at the bottom of the cliff and actually saw some scattered light reflected from weapons!
There's an ambush!
