Chapter 5 Ling Yun was beaten and became stupid
Soon, an old eunuch in red walked into the room and said with a lewd face, "General Zhenxi's self-torture trick almost fooled the world, but unfortunately it couldn't fool the emperor's eyes."
"You embezzled military pay, resulting in the defeat of the army and countless casualties. You also stole the spoils and moved them elsewhere. The Emperor was furious and sent our family to raid the General's residence. The entire Ling family was exiled to Mobei."
Ling Cang angrily hammered the bed and roared, "Unjust... I am wronged... Puff..."
He stared at Su Nuan's pretty fair little face and spat out a mouthful of blood. It would be safer if it was a little dirty.
Su Nuan only felt her face was warm and smelled fishy. She raised her hand and wiped it randomly, and her whole face was covered with stains.
Ling Cang twitched twice and died with his eyes open.
"Will...husband...husband?"
Su Nuan came to her senses and threw herself on Ling Cang and burst into tears.
Two days after her rebirth, she was filled with grievances that she couldn't express, but at this moment, she let them out and cried heartbreakingly.
The general is dead, what's the point of living again?
Her eyes flashed, and she decided to try anything. She decisively pulled out her golden hairpin and used the medical skills she had learned in her previous life to prick the general several times. She saw blood coming to the general's face and his chest beginning to rise and fall.
At this time, the old eunuch grabbed Su Nuan and pulled her off Ling Cang. After examining her, he said, "The guilty minister Ling Cang knew that his sins were grave, and he vomited blood and died."
"Take all the women to the front yard. Don't allow them to take a single needle or thread. Put them in shackles and send them to exile in Mobei."
Su Nuan knelt down hurriedly and said, "Sir, if an exiled prisoner dies in the capital, it will be regarded as an accomplice who killed someone and destroyed the evidence."
"Now that I have saved the general's life and prevented him from being implicated, will you allow me to make a request?"
The old eunuch's face darkened and sweat broke out on his forehead with fear. That's right, Ling Cang cannot die in the capital.
He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you want?"
Su Nuan knew that the request should not be excessive, so she said: "Now there are only orphans and widows left in the general's mansion, please don't put them in shackles."
The old eunuch snorted coldly, "The woman must be shackled. No one can make concessions. Hurry and gather for the journey."
Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. This was true. In her previous life, she had been wearing shackles all the way to the town ahead and had to pay to have them removed.
She tied Ling Cang with a bed sheet and carried him out on her back.
Several people gathered in the yard, and all the servants of the Ling family had dispersed. No one was willing to stay and die.
The younger woman in the courtyard was her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xue. She reached out to support Su Nuan and asked in a trembling voice, "Is Cang'er okay?"
Su Nuan nodded and looked at the woman, "My husband is still breathing."
Xue's body stiffened. Was she still breathing? That meant she was beyond saving.
She bit her lips tightly and didn't cry, but just hugged a little girl of five or six years old beside her tightly in her arms.
The girl was as delicate as a piece of jade, with big eyes full of panic and tears, but she was stubborn and refused to let the tears fall, worthy of being the daughter of a general.
Su Nuan looked around but couldn't find Ling Yun. Did this guy run away?
Just as he was thinking about it, two soldiers dragged Ling Yun, who was covered in blood, into the yard and threw him on the ground.
Ling Yun lay motionless, with a bloody hole on his forehead, which was obviously caused by the soldier's knife handle.
In her previous life, Su Nuan spent her boring days reading medical books, so her medical skills were comparable to those of a doctor in a clinic.
She took Ling Yun's pulse and although his pulse was chaotic, his life was not in danger.
Xue could no longer hold back her tears, but she did not utter a single sob.
Su Nuan comforted him, "There's no danger to your life."
Xue nodded, her beautiful eyes revealing stubbornness and pride. She always felt that she was upright and would not bring shame to the general's mansion.
The eunuch seemed to be prepared and said, "Let him see, don't let him die."
The imperial physician carrying the medicine box replied, "Yes."
The imperial physician pulled Ling Yun's eyelids, checked his pulse, and then took out a silver needle and inserted it into Ling Yun's philtrum.
Ling Yun cried out in pain, "Ouch... How dare you, old man, prick me with a needle?"
"Mother...Mother, where are you? The stinky old man is bullying me, wuwuwu..."
Ling Yun's reaction left everyone dumbfounded.
The old eunuch frowned and said, "What's going on?"
The imperial physician replied: "He was hit on the head and became stupid."
The old eunuch said, "Oh, it's good that you're not dead."
The imperial physician's eyes flickered as he whispered, "Get them out of the city as soon as possible. If they travel with injuries, they'll be half dead. We can't let them die in the capital."
The old eunuch's eyes rolled around, and he realized that this situation was indeed not suitable for imprisonment, so he said, "The emperor said that they should be allowed to leave the city immediately."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Su Nuan recalled her past life. Although Ling Yun was not stupid, he did lose half his life while traveling with injuries.
Seeing her mother-in-law comforting Ling Yun, she took her sister-in-law's hand and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, your sister-in-law will protect you."
The little girl looked at Su Nuan and forced a smile that was uglier than crying.
There was a maid at the door searching me. Fortunately, she only touched me symbolically and did not ask me to take off my clothes. Her laxity aroused suspicion.
Five people were waiting at the door to be shackled. Su Nuan noticed Su Liren in casual clothes watching the fun calmly. He seemed not to have noticed that his house had been emptied.
Su Nuan's mind raced as she immediately rushed over crying, "Dad, Dad, are you here to take me back?"
Su Liren's face was cold. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and threw it to her. "You have already entered the general's mansion and are his daughter-in-law. From now on, I am no longer your father."
Su Nuan was heartbroken (ecstatic) when she picked up the letter of severance, glanced at it quickly, and realized that it was a complete severance. Not only did they not want to have any contact with her until they died, they even forbade her to visit them on their death anniversary.
She sneered, put the letter of severance in her pocket, and said, "Thank you."
I wonder if my scumbag dad will be sentenced to behead when he finds out that his house has been emptied and that the government silver lost from the palace has suddenly appeared?
No matter what the outcome is, it’s refreshing to think about it.
Xue asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Su Nuan shook her head, "It's okay, mother, take good care of grandma."
Arriving at the city gate, Su Nuan looked back. This city was full of sin. When he returned, he would definitely massacre it.
It was only when they arrived at the city gate that they discovered that the exile group was very large. Anyone who lived in the city and had any connection with the Ling family was exiled.
But those exiles were obviously much better off than Lingyun's side, at least they had packages.
An old man snorted and said, "You, Ling Cang, actually committed the evil act of embezzling military funds. You really don't deserve to die."
Su Nuan raised her head and retorted, "Who are you? When my husband was so powerful, didn't you take advantage of him?"
"You're already old, yet you're doing this kind of thing: eating from a bowl, then putting it down and cursing."
Xue also said coldly and distantly: "Third uncle, if my husband hadn't risked his life and fought for his achievements, you guys would still be working as peasants in the countryside."
"It seems you can only share prosperity but not hardship. Today, I'm putting this out there: those who are willing to live in harmony with me, please come forward. Those who are not willing, please get out of here."
Su Nuan looked up at her mother-in-law. In her previous life, she always thought that she was a weak and gentle young lady. Now it seemed that she was gentle and kind to her because she spoiled her.
The people in the group didn't move, perhaps because they wanted to draw a line between the two.
The escorting officers and soldiers became impatient and began to drive everyone on the road. The group of more than a hundred people was very large and the crying was very loud.
When they arrived at Sanlipu outside the city, Su Nuan saw a donkey cart with a cart cover in front of them. A young man was sitting on the shaft, staring at the team.
Su Nuan felt that the figure looked familiar, and when she got closer, she asked in surprise, "Why is it you?"
