In Kunning Palace, Su Moyan was playing with two children and listening to the system vividly describing what happened in the Luo family courtyard.
"Host, An Nanyue is dead. You don't know that Luo Ziqing is simply not a human being. He could have found a doctor for An Dongyue, but he didn't. Instead, he just stood by and watched her die."
"Mother Luo breathed a sigh of relief and declared that this unlucky person was finally dead. The mother and son were packing their bags and preparing to return to their hometown to marry a good wife."
Really? Well, we have to wait until they get home safely, right?
He raised his hand and beckoned Chunlan forward and whispered a few words in her ear.
A few days later, a group of bandits intercepted the mother and son, stole all their belongings, and chopped off their legs.
Chunlan, hiding in the dark, watched all this, left a few people here to stare at them, then turned and left indifferently.
"The mother and son met a kind doctor who bandaged their legs. Now they are begging for a living in the imperial city."
That kind doctor was naturally arranged by her. How could she let them die so easily? In their previous lives, didn't they regard themselves as noble and superior people?
Let them experience the life of the inferior people whom they looked down upon and hated in the past in this life. I want to see how much better they can live if they become that kind of people than the inferior people whom they looked down upon.
Since Mu Yunchen became emperor, he has had more things to do every day, and the time he spends with the mother and two children has become less and less.
"Ayue, I have just ascended the throne, and there are many things I need to do personally to convince the people. After this busy period, our family of four will go to the Summer Resort to escape the heat, okay?"
"Okay, go ahead and do what you need. I have so many people with me, I'm not lonely at all."
Mu Yunchen hugged his son, then his daughter, and finally his wife before reluctantly leaving the palace.
Su Moyan smiled back at him and signaled him to leave quickly. They still had a long time to spend together in the future, so she didn't care about this moment.
When she felt bored staying in the palace, she would take her maid out for a walk.
That day, she met two beggars with broken legs who were begging in front of her. For a moment, she really didn't recognize that they were the mother and son of the Luo family.
Compared with their arrogant and domineering appearance in their previous lives, they now look so miserable and miserable.
Looking at them like this, Su Moyan didn't feel guilty at all. It was the evil causes they had planted in their previous lives that led to the bitter fruits in this life.
Obviously Luo Ziqing also recognized her. He looked up at Su Moyan, then buried his head deeply in the ground.
His mother had never seen Su Moyan in this life, so she didn't recognize her.
"Good girl, please give me something to eat. I haven't eaten for three days and three nights."
There are people coming and going on the street, and she is the queen of a country, so she should protect her people.
Su Moyan generously rewarded the mother and son with a few taels of silver each, and asked the maid to buy a basket of buns for them.
"Old woman, take this silver and go home. Stop begging."
The people around her praised her for her kindness, and more beggars came to her to beg.
As she was the queen of a country, she had to treat these people equally. She asked her maid to buy several large baskets of steamed buns to share with them, and then rewarded each of them with two taels of silver.
"Mother, let's rent a carriage to take us back home."
Luo's mother stuffed the bag of silver into her arms.
"What are we going back for? If your uncles saw that we had broken our legs, they would throw us into the mountains to feed the wolves."
"Son, you don't have to feel embarrassed. The capital is prosperous. We can beg for a few years. When we have enough money, we can go back to our hometown. They will definitely flatter us. Then I will find you a good wife and let her carry on the Luo family's bloodline."
Luo Ziqing was obviously not that optimistic.
"Mother can't beg for so much money every day."
Luo's mother also knew that what her son said was true.
"Of course mother knows, these rich people are very cruel."
"That's why my mother only begs from girls who look kind-hearted. Look at that girl today, she looks very kind and soft-hearted."
Luo Ziqing lowered his head, his tone filled with regret.
"Mom, do you know who that girl is?"
Luo's mother shook her head vigorously.
"I don't know, son. Is it the girl you know?"
"She is the daughter of the Marquis's family who exchanged identities with An Nanyue and has now become the honorable Empress."
"If the incident with An Nanyue hadn't happened, my son would have married the girl you saw today."
Various expressions flashed in Luo's mother's eyes, and in the end, only regret remained.
"That bitch is truly a calamity star. She came here specifically to bring misfortune upon us, mother and son. My son had a bright future and a distinguished wife, but that little bitch ruined it all. If she weren't already dead, I'd skin her alive."
While the mother and son were cursing at each other, a few beggars appeared from nowhere and stole their money.
They also beat and kicked them, and a few days later the bodies of the two beggars were found under the city wall.
The two beggars had broken legs, and the patrolling officials dragged them to a mass grave and threw them away.
Having dealt with two more enemies, Su Moyan breathed a sigh of relief. Whose turn would it be next? Oh, it should be An Wen.
I heard that the An family has lived a comfortable life by selling their daughters, and they even bought a four-story courtyard in the city.
Mr. An relied on his status as the emperor's father-in-law to accept countless benefits from minor officials and local gentry.
He also bullied the weak and robbed other people's property, causing other families to hang themselves in their homes.
An Wen also relied on his status as the king's uncle and was very popular in brothels, taverns and gambling houses.
He also relied on his status to rob women. I heard that the small courtyard was almost full of women he had robbed.
Mrs. An also mingled at various banquets every day. Many wives of dignitaries liked to interact with her. After all, she was the queen's family, so of course they were happy to flatter her.
Su Moyan deliberately had everyone expose their deeds. For a moment, they were like rats crossing the street, terrified.
But they still held on, thinking that because they were the queen's family members, the officers and soldiers would not dare to arrest them and put them in jail.
Mu Yunchen came to ask Su Moyan if he wanted to show some mercy to them, but Su Moyan shook his head and refused, telling him to judge them as he pleased.
In the end, the family was not only thrown into prison, but also exiled to the frontier.
Before they left, they begged to see Su Moyan, but Su Moyan of course refused sternly. How could she possibly fulfill their wish and meet them?
Not only would she not go to meet them, she also arranged a meeting gift for them at the border, believing that they would have a wonderful life there.
