Chapter 374: Crazy, all crazy

Thinking of this, he gave Qu Zhishuang a kind smile.

"Shuang'er, don't listen to your mother-in-law's nonsense. Send a letter to Master Xiaoqu quickly. It would be best if he could call a doctor. Chong'er's injury needs to be treated immediately."

Qu Zhishuang nodded, looked at the guard, lowered her voice, and pleaded: "Sir, please, please be kind. Just help me pass a message to my family."

The bribed guard:?

How do these people manage to just talk about their own things without even asking for the opinion of the person involved?

He didn't even say he would help them deliver the letter.

"This is stolen property and will be confiscated into the national treasury. The emperor has already issued an order that no one from the Marquis of Changping's mansion is allowed to leave. You will be sent on your journey to Bingzhou to mine tomorrow." The guard took the beads and spoke expressionlessly.

Now Qu Zhishuang and Wei Zhuang were both dumbfounded.

Why does this person take the things and not do anything with them?

Isn't this like losing both the lady and the soldiers?

Qu Zhishuang was a little upset. She shouted, "My cousin is Qu Fufeng!"

"So what? If the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people. No matter how favored Lord Qu is, can he be greater than the emperor? It was the emperor who ordered your exile." After the guard said this, he pushed Qu Zhishuang and pulled off the Dongzhu on her other shoe.

Qu Zhishuang: ...

Now it’s good, there is no more entanglement at all.

Wouldn't they be tortured to death along the way of exile?

Mrs. Jiang, the former wife of the Marquis of Changping, was unable to wake her son up and had no place to vent her anger, so she rushed over and slapped Qu Zhishuang in the face.

"It is because I married you, a jinx, that my family has fallen into misfortune."

Previously, her son was kicked by the second princess, and she could not take revenge. Her husband also spoke for her daughter-in-law. Under the double resentment, she acted extremely harshly.

Qu Zhishuang was slapped twice in one day and was stunned.

When she came to her senses, she no longer cared about filial piety.

Let’s talk about it first if I can survive to the place of exile.

She rushed forward and slapped Jiang in the face.

"What does it have to do with me? If it weren't for your moral flaws, why would the emperor have ordered the confiscation of property and exile of everyone in the marquis's mansion? It's my bad luck. If I hadn't married Wei Guangzhong, the Qu family would be so valued by the emperor now. I don't know how good my life would be." Qu Zhishuang shouted out the depression in her heart.

"This is outrageous! You dare to hit me!" Jiang's eyes were wide with anger. She never expected that her daughter-in-law, who had always been submissive in front of her, would dare to hit her.

"I'll hit you if I want to. Why do I have to choose a day? You old hag, I've disliked you for a long time." Qu Zhishuang had long forgotten the family teachings, and all the virtues, and threw them all out the window, and started fighting with Jiang.

"Crazy, all crazy." Wei Zhuang, the former Marquis of Changping, was dumbfounded.

I never expected that the usually dignified and virtuous lady and the obedient and docile daughter-in-law would become like this.

The two of them fought until they were exhausted, their hair and clothes were in a mess, and only then did they let each other go.

The last night in the Marquis' Mansion ended in chaos.

When the sky was bright, the couple from the second branch of the Qu family came to the door at the same time to ask for someone.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived, I saw that the Changping Marquis Mansion was surrounded by soldiers.

"Master, what's going on?" Yang was shocked.

"How would I know?" Qu Huaizhi replied unhappily, and then sent his servants to inquire.

After being scolded by their father last night, the couple simply sent someone to deliver a letter to the Marquis's residence, saying that they would come to visit today.

After all, Qu Fufeng got married last night, and their Qu family was under a lot of attention. If there was any movement, it would be easily discovered.

Moreover, they hadn't figured out how to recruit people, so there was no reason for them to just go to someone's door without sending a post.

This dragged on and on until morning.

Soon, the servant finished his inquiry and repeated the story.

The Qu family couple exclaimed at the same time: "The emperor ordered a confiscation of our property?"

"Yes." The servant nodded.

At this time, everyone in Changping Marquis's Mansion was driven out and they were about to set off.

Qu Zhishuang had a fight with her mother-in-law last night, and now her clothes and hair were in disarray. She didn't look as noble as the wife of the prince of the Marquis's mansion in the past. She was even worse than a servant.

She walked out of the mansion in a daze and saw the Qu family's carriage.

Standing outside the carriage was Qingsong, the servant next to my father.

Her eyes suddenly lit up and she was about to rush towards the carriage.

"Mom and Dad, are you here to take me home?"

But after running only two steps, he was stopped by the police.

Hearing her daughter calling her, Yang felt a pain in her heart and wanted to go downstairs to see her.

But she was stopped by her husband.

"Go back home." Qu Huaizhi gave the order immediately.

"Grandpa?" Yang looked at her husband in disbelief.

"The emperor has already issued an order to confiscate the property. I'm afraid Nian'er is no longer in the mansion. If we go down to ask her, it will only increase the risk of ruining Nian'er's reputation. Let's go back home. It's almost time. Fufeng and his wife have to offer tea to the elders." After Qu Huaizhi finished speaking, he immediately asked the driver to go back to Qu's house.

When Yang heard this, she was extremely anxious, but she did not dare to get out of the car, so she could only follow silently.

Watching the Qu family's carriage leave, Qu Zhishuang was stunned.

"Dad, Mom!" She couldn't help but run after the carriage.

But the carriage went farther and farther away, with no intention of stopping.

She chased him until she was exhausted and fell to the ground.

Tears welled up instantly.

Do her parents no longer want her?

Jiang sneered: "See, your parents have abandoned you. You are already a useless chess piece. Do you think the Qu family will still care about you, a daughter who married out?"

Qu Zhishuang's body trembled.

What she said to her third sister last night actually happened to her today.

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha." She laughed towards the sky and her tears fell into her mouth, tasting bitter and salty.

"I deserve it. I'm blind." She murmured, lying on the ground motionless. Finally, Mei'er, her personal maid, couldn't bear to watch it anymore and helped her up.

"Ma'am, you have to cheer up. There are still many days to come." Mei'er also shed tears.

Qu Zhishuang said nothing, her expression frozen in a numb calm.

She was pushed forward by Mei'er without resistance or expectation, like a puppet being pulled by a string, walking on a road with no return.

She no longer cared about Jiang's ridicule and the contemptuous looks from others.

…

The couple from the second branch of the Qu family hurried back to the Qu family.

The two of them tidied their clothes, sat on the chairs, and waited for Qu Fufeng to serve them tea.

Qu Hongde, who was sitting at the top, frowned slightly.

"Where's Nian'er?"

Qu Huaizhi told the story of the Marquis of Changping's mansion being ransacked.

"So you didn't go to pick up Nian'er last night?" Qu Hongde was so angry at the couple that his beard was shaking.

When his grandson got married, he chose to rest and did not go to court.

I didn't expect that such a big thing would happen just one day when I didn't attend court.

"If we show up without a visiting card, the mansion may not let us in." Qu Huaizhi explained hesitantly.

"Yes, father, for the sake of Nian'er's reputation, we dare not make a big fuss." Yang echoed.

"Idiots, two idiots!" Qu Hongde slammed the table angrily.

Qu Fufeng came in with his wife, and heard his grandfather's rage. He asked, "Grandfather, what happened?"
