The warden happily brought up a stool and Gu Tai sat on it with his full might.
With a clang, a specially made prisoner van was pulled over by a mule horse.
[Su Chengyi, didn't you laugh at my son for being stupid? Is he useless? Your son is beautiful and capable. Today I want to see what your eldest son, the pride of heaven, will become?]
Gu Tai's face twisted and he glanced over with a vicious look.
Sumi blinked her big eyes.
[Oh no, this bastard has come to his senses, right? He knows it's me who burned him into a black egg. This is impossible. How could he doubt me when I'm just a little kid?]
[And you, Song Jinhe. You are so ruthless and so bold. You actually dared to burn me in the palace. Do you think that I, Gu Tai, like you and won't really do anything to you? ]
Gu Tai's uncertain eyes were fixed on Song Jinhe who was holding the child.
Young people don't know the pain of love, but when they know it, they already know the deep love. Song Jinhe. I like you, but I know that the emperor likes you too. So for so many years, I watched you and Su Chengyi live together and didn't touch you because I was afraid of the emperor's blame. Now, you want to leave the capital, so leave forever! Oh, Su Mi, I was wrong. It turns out that Gu Tai suspected that his mother had set him on fire.
Gu Yueyan was about to step forward to speak but was stopped by Song Jinhe.
"General Gu, my Zhenguo Mansion is a criminal and has been sentenced to exile. The emperor and the queen mother have allowed us to leave the capital for exile."
Madam Su stared calmly into Gu Tai's eyes, "The Queen Mother has issued an imperial decree that all prisoners in the Zhenguo Mansion must leave the capital at noon, and no one can be left behind."
[Ginger is still experienced. Grandma is very capable. Not only did she ask the Queen Mother to release the people, she also asked for an imperial decree from the Queen Mother. With this imperial decree from the Queen Mother, the lives of the Su family were temporarily saved.]
"Madam Su is right. The Queen Mother is kindhearted and cherishes the old times. Considering that you are old and have difficulty walking, I have granted you a light carriage to help you travel in exile."
Gu Tai smiled, his eyes full of coldness.
With a wave of his hand, another Zhao Wei came over leading an old horse pulling a small cart with a green shed.
"The Empress Dowager has commanded me to obey the Emperor's order. I will have them tied up and tattooed carefully and escorted out of the Imperial City. I guarantee that no one of the prisoners from the Zhenguo Mansion will be left behind. Madam Su is old and weak, so please go to the carriage and have a rest. Since the Empress Dowager sympathizes with the old lady, she will not have to tie her up and tattoo her face."
Gu Tai pointed at Song Jinhe, Gu Yueyan, Su Chengyi, and Su Zhenbei who was lying on the ground surrounded by Su San and the others.
"These few are the legitimate masters of the Zhenguogong Mansion. If they enjoy the glory of the Zhenguogong Mansion, they must bear the guilt of the Zhenguogong Mansion."
How vicious! Gu Tai is picking words to play tricks. The Queen Mother's decree said that everyone must leave the capital at noon. But it didn't say whether to leave the capital on foot or in a prison car. Whether to tattoo the face, how to tattoo, what to tattoo, and how big the tattoo should be, these can't be in the decree! [Grandma, what should I do? Do you want me to find a way to deal with him? ]
Sumi couldn't just watch her whole family get tattooed. Especially for her eldest brother, who was so handsome and proud, getting a tattoo on his face would be more painful than letting him die.
What’s more, it will be inconvenient for them to move around after getting tattooed!
When Old Madam Su suddenly heard the long-lost baby voice, her heart warmed.
Just as Master Guiyi said, Mi Baobao is an alien star and a lucky star sent by God to the Su family.
Old Madam Su knew very well what kind of person Gu Tai was.
She couldn't let her granddaughter put herself in danger just to save her grandson.
[My dear grandma, don't worry about it. This is the adults' business.]
Old Madam Su walked forward, reached out and took her little granddaughter out of Song Jinhe's arms.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and instantly understood each other's thoughts.
All the boys in their second house, no matter how old or young, had to rely on their strength to make a living when they were exiled to the northern border. But Mi Baoer couldn't do that. She was a girl who would get married when she grew up, so she couldn't be disfigured.
"Come on, I am Madam Su, the servant who served the old lady. Tattoo me first."
Nanny Su walked up to the pockmarked jailer.
The pockmarked jailer glanced at the black-faced jailer. When General Gu came just now, the two of them thought that something bad had happened.
No matter how bold they were, they would not dare to play tricks in front of General Gu. They loved money, but they were more afraid of death.
"sit down!"
The black-faced jailer asked Nanny Su to sit on the designated bench.
The pockmarked jailer quickly tattooed Madam Su's face. He took out a needle from the needle box on the tray. His hands were shaking. He didn't dare to take out the special needle that had been tampered with. He also didn't dare to wipe Madam Su's forehead with the cotton cloth soaked in the pockmarked powder.
Old Madam Su turned around holding Mi Baoer and walked towards the green-shed carriage step by step.
Gu Tai looked at Madam Su's back but did not say anything to stop her.
In his opinion, if he took action now against a dying old woman and a newborn girl, not only would the Queen Mother blame him, but the people would also think he was cruel and ruthless.
Now, he had to hurry and do what the emperor had ordered while Su Zhenbei was still in the capital.
[Grandma, Mom and Dad, they really want to tattoo my face. No, I have to get rid of Gu Tai.]
After listening to the two jailers' thoughts, Sumi became anxious.
Grandma: [Don't move, Mibaobao. As long as they are alive, their faces don't matter. You are different.]
Su Chengyi: [Mi baby, don't move. I'll tattoo you. Daddy is thick-skinned and not afraid of pain. Besides, Daddy doesn't rely on his looks to make a living]
Song Jinhe: [Mi baby, don't move. I don't care, as long as you guys are all fine.]
Su Sinan: [Little sister, don't move. Although Third Brother is a little afraid of pain, there is a word on his face, and it won't prevent Third Brother from eating buns. ]
Su Zhenbei: [Little sister, don't act rashly. A little impatience can ruin a big plan. Gu Tai is cruel and vicious, and he is very suspicious. It is the best strategy to endure a small humiliation and save your life.]
oops,
Su Mi's heart warmed, and all the years of loneliness seemed to be healed in an instant.
The whole family felt truly sorry for her newborn little sister.
Sumibao! Never before had Sumi been more moved by these three words than at this moment - Sumibao!
Yes, in the eyes of the Su family, she is the treasure of all of them.
Su Mibao, from now on, I am no longer a tiny, helpless grain of rice, but a treasure in the hands of so many people.
Sumibao, my name is Sumibao.
"The housekeeper of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Su Laile."
After Nanny Su finished tattooing, Butler Su automatically stepped forward.
In unison, Su An, Hua Shan and the others automatically stepped forward, as if the longer they stood in front of their master, the later their master would get tattooed.
"Take the prisoner car to Suzhen and head north."
Gu Tai frowned, a fierce look in his eyes.
