"Master, you sit near the wall, and the servants will stand outside to block the way."
Steward Su was indeed the chief steward of the Zhenguo Mansion. He quickly directed the remaining servants to gather the straw from the dungeon and spread it around Su Zhenbei in the corner, so that all the masters could sit on it. He and several servants then sat on the periphery to block it.
"Su San, lie down next to Zhen Bei and put on your cloak."
As the head of the family, Mrs. Su has always arranged everything calmly.
[As expected of my grandma, she is so bold. 】
Sumi gave a thumbs up to her grandmother in her heart. She said that as long as grandma is there, everyone has a backbone.
When Old Madam Su heard her granddaughter's voice, she smiled bitterly in her heart. How could she be so powerful?
"Thank you, ma'am."
Su San's face turned pale. She thanked Old Madam Su and then looked at Song Jinhe with gratitude.
"My wound has stopped bleeding. Madam has bandaged my wound again. I can sit against the wall and meditate on my luck."
During the time he was awake, Huashan injured him and made him unconscious, and then Master Su San gave him and the young master a pill, saving his life. Huashan also secretly told him that the young master had been revived and was now pretending to be unconscious.
Su San felt relieved.
As the Su family's secret guard, he and Su Yi and Su Er led people to protect the three generations of the Su family's masters.
Now, the old Duke of Zhenguo is dead, the general is missing, Su Yi and Su Er are both dead. If anything happens to the young master again, he will definitely not be able to survive alone.
[Tsk tsk, the recovery ability of this Su family secret guard is really scary. ]
Su Mi was shocked when she heard what Su San said. Although the system's products must be top-notch, the medicine is indeed good. But Su San's body is too good. He almost died from the knife piercing his heart. It's only been a short while, and he can sit up and meditate.
Wow, Huashan is really attentive to Su San.
Su Mi saw Hua Shan sitting near Su San, trying to use her small body to block the cold wind from outside. Unfortunately, Hua Shan was always weak, and wearing thin prison clothes, she was shivering from the cold.
"I've said before, ever since our Zhenguo Mansion was confiscated, and ever since you were willing to follow our Su family into exile, there will no longer be any masters and servants here. We are all one family."
Old Madam Su glanced at the servants sitting outside one by one.
Su San, Housekeeper Su, Nanny Su, Nanny Song, Hua Shan and Su An, the six loyal servants, some old and some young, are all loyal to the Su family and never leave them.
It is three thousand miles from the capital to the northern border, and it takes about three months to walk like this.
It was October in late autumn, and it would take until the middle of winter to reach the place of exile.
I don’t know how many hardships I will have to endure on the road, not to mention the ulterior motives of the Emperor and others.
If these loyal servants were to die on the road, the Su family would be really sorry for them.
"You are so badly injured, the night is too cold, and you have no food in your stomach. How can you hold on?"
Song Jinhe felt a little annoyed. When her elder brother sent her out of the palace, she should have secretly found a way to get some food to take with her.
After all, they were exiled criminals and were now under the emperor's feet, so she didn't dare to let her elder brother do it too obviously. It would be bad if it attracted the attention of Gu Tai and the emperor.
But if you put a few pieces of dry cakes in your sleeves and bring them over to fill everyone's stomach, no one would say anything.
Although the voice was not loud, Song Jinhe's face turned red.
There are servants, mother-in-law, and my own children here. Not to mention the daughter-in-law who just came in. She is so pregnant now, it's really embarrassing. It's a loss of status.
"I was stabbed and have difficulty moving, but my internal strength is still there. I am not afraid of the cold."
Su San believed from the bottom of his heart that he was able to survive because Madam Su Er used a particularly precious medicine to save him.
He thought that since the medicine was brought to him by the Third Young Master Su, it must be that Madam Su asked the Third Young Master to deliver it. After all, Madam Su was the head of the Zhenguo Mansion and the legitimate daughter of the Song Emperor. She always had many good things that others did not have. It was normal for her to take out some precious pills before the house was confiscated.
What's more, the young master is so seriously injured, the second lady will definitely find a way to bring some medicine for him.
It was just a good deal for him, as he got a share of the young master's life-saving pills.
Thinking of this, Su San looked at Madam Su Er with even more gratitude, and secretly made up his mind that he would risk his life to protect the Su family and reach the place of exile safely along the way.
[Grandma, don't worry. I'm here to protect them and ensure they reach the place of exile safely. No one will be left behind.]
Su Mi sighed. These people risked their lives to follow the Su family into exile, but in the original book, no one survived.
In the original book, every member of the Su family met with such a tragic end. Before that, these loyal servants had all died in order to protect their master.
Sumi stared with her small eyes, looking at these loyal servants who were sitting outside, using their bodies to form a human wall to shield their master from the wind and cold, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.
In his previous life, he was a special agent and military doctor. He had been on so many dangerous missions and on the brink of life and death many times. The comrades around him were just like these loyal servants today. They were united and tried to protect the safety of the people with their own flesh and blood.
Just like today, knowing that it is impossible to do something, but still doing it. That is because there is justice in my heart and I feel responsible for the world.
In this life, I have come, and I will never let you die! Su Mi's soft and sticky voice made Old Madam Su's heart soften.
Old Madam Su couldn't help but look at her children.
The eldest daughter-in-law, Du Liniang, is already forty years old and has always been sickly and infertile.
The second son and his wife, the second son is a useless loser, the only one he can rely on is his wife Song Jinhe.
The seventh son's wife, Ye Ranqing, was six or seven months pregnant, and the baby had to be born on the way.
Old Madam Su felt sad when she saw her sons. She had given birth to seven sons in her lifetime, but in the end, she only had the useless second son by her side.
Old Madam Su looked at her grandchildren with a loving gaze. The eldest grandson and his wife, Su Zhenbei and Gu Yueyan, from the second son's house were on the verge of life and death. Yan'er was a good child, but it was a pity that this pampered young lady from an official family could arrive safely after all the exile?
The third grandson Su Sinan is nine years old and the little granddaughter is only one hundred days old.
Finally, Madam Su fixed her gaze on the two little figures huddled in the corner - Su Jinchuan and Su Ruoyuan . These two children were the twin sons of her third son Su Chengli. The third son's wife died of dystocia during childbirth. The third son and his wife were deeply in love and had never remarried for so many years. Now the third son had a broken arm and was detained alone in the Yancheng prison. They were just waiting for their Su family to be exiled to Yancheng, and then they would reunite and be exiled to the bitterest and coldest place in the northern border.
The two children are only eight years old, and Jinchuan has congenital heart disease.
Madam Su felt a pang of pain in her heart. The Su family had many people, old and young, injured and sick. Could the 11 people reach the northern border safely?
Even if there is no one to harm you, it is difficult to reach the northern border. Moreover, there are so many people with ulterior motives who are plotting to harm you along the way.
