"Mother-in-law, take care of yourself."
Aunt Zhou bowed to Madam Su, "Oh my, what should I do? My mother-in-law is old and will be exiled three thousand miles away. Can she survive until the exile?"
She turned around and hugged Song Jinhe and Su Mibao in her arms. Before she could say anything, tears started to flow.
[Oh, my poor little sister. It's only been three months since she gave birth, and her body hasn't recovered yet, and this has happened. How much suffering she must have endured along the way. This damn emperor! ]
"Little sister, you have suffered."
"Sister-in-law!"
When Song Jinhe was at home, she was the youngest daughter and the only daughter of the Song family. Her parents and three brothers spoiled her, and her sisters-in-law also spoiled her when they came into the family. Especially the eldest sister-in-law Zhou, because Song Jinhe's mother was frail and sickly, it was always the eldest sister-in-law Zhou who took care of the lives of her younger siblings.
When it comes to doting, Zhou dotes on this little sister from her husband's family more than anyone else in the Song family.
"It happened so fast that I didn't have time to prepare. As soon as I heard your eldest brother say it last night, I quickly packed these things."
Zhou pointed to a donkey cart and three horse carriages behind her.
"You've been exiled for three thousand miles. No matter how much you prepare for the journey, there won't be enough food and drink. Your third brother said that you are exiled and it's not appropriate to be too ostentatious at this time. He didn't allow you to prepare too much. I thought of giving you more money so that you can buy more on the way."
【The third brother is very cunning and thinks about everything in detail. He insisted that I only prepare one car of things to send over. I refused and secretly prepared three more cars. My husband looked at me just now, and his eyes almost popped out. Why are you glaring at me? You, as the eldest brother, are afraid of the third brother, but I am not. So what if I prepared it? I am afraid that my sister-in-law will suffer. What's wrong with me? Humph, if the third brother dares to cause trouble when we go back, I will let my third brother's wife deal with him. Hehe, one of the cars was secretly sent by my third brother's wife. 】
Tsk tsk,
Su Mibao was held in her mother's arms, looking at her aunt who looked very busy.
They prepared four carts of things, all of which were piled to the brim, and still said that they didn't prepare enough. The two aunts also prepared secretly without telling the uncles.
My mother’s family, the Song family, really loves her.
Well, the third uncle whom I have never met is still amazing. He is worthy of being in the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. He knows the most about stargazing and the emperor's mind. From the capital to Yangcheng, 300 miles away, all is the emperor's territory. So many eyes are staring, and everyone wants to kill the eldest brother. How can the Su family live comfortably on the road of exile? "Jinhe, I have prepared a separate box for you in the fourth car. It is full of your favorite food. Your favorite sketchbooks, and those rare things you got when you were traveling abroad. Put them all in for you. Don't worry, your eldest brother has already made arrangements, and someone among the officials will take care of you."
[My aunt is so cute. I even prepared a food drawing book for my mother.]
[Aunt, are you kidding me? ]
[We are going into exile, not for fun, right? ]
[Have you ever seen an exile riding in a carriage at the beginning of his exile?]
[It's useless to prepare more things, because they will all be confiscated by the officials. ]
No, Su Mibao thought, she had to find a way to collect the things in the fourth car. From what her aunt said, those were her mother's personal belongings before she got married. How could she let those officials take them away?
"Oh, how pitiful! Our baby Xiaomi is only a hundred days old and he has to be exiled and suffer like this."
Zhou touched Su Mibao's chubby little face and felt a great pain in her heart.
"Jinhe, I also prepared some diapers, small clothes, quilts and other things for our baby Xiaomi. I put them all in the fourth car. I was just thinking that you don't have any milk on this journey. What will Xiaomi baby eat? So I prepared two dairy sheep, which produce a lot of milk. I put them all in the fourth car."
[Aunt, you are so nice, stick with me]
Su Mibao's heart warmed. Since she entered the book, whether it was her Su family or her uncle's family, they were all very united and friendly. No one did those dirty things for the sake of profit.
"My dear Mi baby, you are really making your aunt die of pain."
Zhou started crying again.
"Yan Shiba, don't go too far."
Suddenly there was an angry shout, and everyone in the Su family turned to look over, and even Zhou stopped crying.
"How can you exile a criminal in a luxurious carriage? Come on, even if you go to His Majesty and tell him everything, I won't let you do this."
Gu Tai got up from the ground. Damn Yan Shiba. For Su Zhenbei, he really didn't follow any rules.
Not only did he personally escort Su Zhenbei to Shili Pavilion, he also had someone prepare a luxurious carriage for Su Zhenbei to use during his exile.
Tell me, is this exile or being a boss? He objected, but Yan Shiba didn't say a word and just kicked him away.
He never thought Yan Shiba would kick him, especially in front of King Rui. So he was not on guard and was kicked to the grass outside the pavilion. If he had been a little bit more, he would have fallen into the pool next to him.
"My royal brother only said that the Su family should be exiled, but he did not stipulate whether the Su family should walk or take a carriage."
Gu Tai's face turned black. Look, Yan Shiba has lost all his dignity now.
"Didn't you hear it? The Queen Mother said that she would give Madam Su a car to travel in exile. I am following the Queen Mother's order and preparing a car for Madam Su. What's wrong with that?"
"Yan Shiba, don't play dumb. The emperor has promised. But the empress dowager said she would give him a donkey cart."
Gu Tai pointed at the Su family's mule cart with half of its roof cut off, "That is the mule cart that I prepared for the Su family in compliance with the Queen Mother's order. This one is clearly your carriage. How can an exiled prisoner ride in the carriage of the dignified Prince of Yan? It's against the rules."
[You crazy dog from the Imperial City, do you think that no one knows what you are up to? Once Su Zhenbei gets in your car, who else would dare to assassinate him? This car is yours. Seeing the car is like seeing you in person.]
"You can't blame me for this. Gu Tai, you are quite courageous. The Queen Mother said that she would give Madam Su a donkey cart for transportation, but you got such a broken cart. Now it doesn't even have a roof, and there is no horse to pull the cart. So I saw that you were not doing your job well, and I personally relieved the Queen Mother's worries and gave Madam Su a new cart. If you are not satisfied, I can naturally accompany you to see the Queen Mother and my brother."
"Oh, Uncle Huang, Lord Gu, please stop arguing. It's not worth it just for a carriage."
Prince Rui quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
Gu Tai, that bastard, is a favorite of the emperor, so he can't break up with him openly. As for the eighteenth uncle? He is a force that he must win over. So Prince Rui made up his mind to help Prince Yan.
It was just a carriage, but Prince Yan insisted on resisting, and Prince Rui came out to plead for mercy.
No matter how angry Gu Tai was, he would not offend two people at once for such a small matter. Moreover, now that the two princes were competing for the throne, Yan Shiba, the mad dog, was a piece of fat meat. Not only the second prince wanted to make friends with him, but the third prince also wanted to make friends with him.
Prince Yan ordered Longwei to kill so many of his Zhaowei. Since the beginning of the Su family's property confiscation, Prince Yan has been making things difficult for him.
If it weren't for these considerations, Gu Tai would never let Yan Shiba go so easily.
Humph, after the third prince sits on that throne, it won’t be too late for him to settle accounts with these people.
