Let's look at the third house. Her brother-in-law and sister had some things hidden on them when they were released. But her sister was so careless that she was searched in prison. In addition, they came from far away to live with the second house, and there was no relative to see them off in the capital.
In the entire third house, only the eldest daughter-in-law's family lives in the capital. Her family came to see her off, but because the eldest daughter-in-law was just a concubine's daughter, her family was afraid of being implicated by the Su family, so her aunt only sent a maid to deliver a small package.
Now, the entire third room is penniless except for the pitiful little package of the eldest son’s wife.
Lu Xianglian thought about how the hateful fat officer had searched her and her daughter's belongings last night.
Now, apart from the tattered clothes on their bodies, the mother and daughter really have nothing to hope for.
She had to think of a way to take some of the things in the car. She couldn't rely on her brother-in-law's family anymore, so she had to rely on the second branch. With Song Jinhe's family, she felt that the second branch would definitely have a way out. After all, the Song family was a royal merchant. Just now, the eldest brother of the Song family came to deliver something, and she saw it clearly from the side. Song Jinhe's two sisters-in-law stuffed things into her sleeves several times.
Based on the financial situation of the Song family, Lu Xianglian thought it must be silver bills.
When Lu Xianglian thought about how Song Jinhe had so many banknotes and a lot of food and daily necessities in the car, she was really jealous and envious.
"Why don't you let Xia Ping'er be tied up here? That vixen is just good at seducing my second cousin."
Outside the carriage, Lu Wanwan looked at Xia Ping'er who was surrounding Su Chengliang with some indignation.
There were 13 people from the third branch of the Su family exiled, except for the third master Su Quanming and the second son Su Chengliang who were put on the shackles, the rest were 11 women and children. Ten people were tied to one rope, and there was just one person left, so the official wanted to tie Lu Wanwan to the second branch just now.
There were 17 people from the second branch of the Su family exiled, three men were wearing shackles, four were riding in donkey carts, and Su Ma was driving the cart. The remaining nine were tied with a rope, just missing one woman.
As they were all prisoners of the Su family, the officers would naturally tie them up together first.
Unexpectedly, Lu Wanwan was unwilling to do so. She was afraid of being separated from the Lu family. Lu Wanwan felt that she and the second branch of the Su family did not get along well. If she was tied to these people, she would be bullied along the way. Moreover, if she was with the third branch, she could ask her mother and cousin to support her when she was tired. Naturally, she did not want to be separated. That's why she started to quarrel.
When she lived in the third room of the mansion, because the third grandmother Lu Huifen only gave birth to two sons, the third room had no legitimate daughter. After bringing grandmother Lu's family to the capital, Lu Wanwan became the cousin of the third room. Her mother was good at dealing with people and was favored by her sister and brother-in-law.
Her mother was determined to find her a mistress in a wealthy family in Beijing. So she often coaxed the third grandmother to go out with the second wife to participate in flower-viewing parties held by the noble ladies in Beijing. Lu Wanwan was bright and beautiful, and she always acted in a high-profile manner. After a long time, the third wife and many young ladies in Beijing knew that she was the cousin of the Duke of Zhenguo.
In the entire Zhenguo Mansion, Lu Wanwan looked down on everyone except the people from the second house.
In the third room, Lu Wanwan despises her eldest cousin Su Chengwen's concubine Xia Ping'er the most. She is a foxy girl who is used to coaxing men. (Haha, because Xia Ping'er often steals her mother's lines. People in the same industry are enemies)
"If someone who doesn't know sees them, they might think they are a family of three."
Lu Wanwan has always been a talkative person and never hides her insults to others.
When Su Mibao heard what Lu Wanwan said in the carriage, she looked over there immediately. As expected, she saw the third son Su Chengliang sitting on the side with the shackles on. His eldest brother Su Chengwen's concubine Xia Ping'er was sitting next to him, constantly pulling his clothes and fiddling with the shackles. Her little face was filled with sorrow and tears in her eyes, as if the shackles on Su Chengliang were so painful that her heart was about to break. Her little daughter also snuggled up to her side, imitating her mother and using her little hands to constantly pull up the hem of Su Chengliang's clothes.
Su Mibao pouted, "Well, these two are bad guys." She remembered that in the original book, Su Chengliang was instructed by Gu Tai to kill his elder brother and harm the Su family.
Why did Xia Ping'er work with Su Chengliang to harm the Su family?
It seems that the eldest brother had a feud with Xia Ping'er's ex-husband (her daughter's biological father).
Never mind, I’ll deal with these two guys on the way.
The most urgent task now was for her to prepare for a major raid in the capital at night.
"Okay, you stay here."
Qin Guanshan pulled the rope and tied Lu Xianglian's hands loosely. He then pulled the long thick rope that was tied to Song Jinhe and his group, and tied Lu Xianglian to the end, saying softly,
"I'll loosen the rope for you. Your hands are so tender, don't hurt them. And don't be so honest. Just follow me and walk slowly."
[At this moment, Zhaoyu is arguing with the escorting officer. I am the officer on Zhaoyu's side, and Xianglian is under the escorting officer's charge. I have to think of some way.]
Lu Xianglian leaned almost completely on Qin Guanshan, and said in a soft and coquettish voice, "I have lost my head of the family, and only my mother and I are living with relatives. And we have encountered this disaster. I am unlucky, and I don't want to bring bad luck to the officials."
My heart is screaming,
[God will not let us go. My mother and I have found a backer. This official with a trough nose and a blind left eye may look ugly, but he is an official after all. He took care of us along the way, so we were able to survive to the place of exile.]
But he said,
"The exile is long, and I am weak. I will die sooner or later. Why should I trouble such a good man like the official? It doesn't matter if I die, but I will worry about my daughter. I think the official is a good man, and I will entrust my daughter to him when the time comes-"
Lu Xianglian deliberately didn't finish her words, thinking,
[Could this blind man be the same as the fat official, plotting against my mother and me? ]
"I, Qin Guanshan, love people like you, Xianglian. When we get to Northern Xinjiang, I will start a family with you and treat your daughter like my own. Don't worry, I have relatives in Northern Xinjiang. I can find a job there and it will be easy for me to support you two."
[Oh my dear mother, I am so lucky this time. I found a man who is sincere to us. Don’t look at this man because he is ugly and blind. I didn’t expect him to be a loving wife.]
Lu Xianglian was shaking with excitement. [I have to think of a way to keep it secret. I can't let this officer Qin find out what's going on between me and my brother-in-law. I want him to think that I'm a poor widow who keeps her chastity with her only daughter. Well, I'll find a chance later to give my brother-in-law a warning so that he won't ruin things for me.]
Su Mibao was sitting in the car, so close to them that she couldn't help but listen. Moreover, she could hear the two people's thoughts.
Tsk tsk,
Lu Xianglian was playing two-timing during her exile, she is truly a ripe peach.
