Yu Huaqian looked at the bloodstained quilt and frowned.
"Hurry up and don't waste time!"
The four guards grabbed the four corners of the quilt and lifted Xiao Yunzhan up easily and walked out.
Lin Yiran supported Madam Xiao and followed behind.
The three sisters-in-law followed closely behind with their two children.
When Yu Huaqian turned around and was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of the table in the middle of the main hall and several teacups on it out of the corner of his eye.
His eyes flickered slightly, and he gave a sad instruction to the young eunuch beside him.
The young eunuch nodded and immediately took a few guards to carry the table. He took the teacup himself and held it carefully in his arms.
Yu Huaqian looked at the cautious look of the little eunuch and felt so disgusted.
He sighed heavily, threw his sleeves and walked out.
At this time, the area outside the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was filled with people watching the excitement.
The people were chattering loudly, and the capital was in complete chaos today.
Officers and soldiers came one after another, and every house was searched thoroughly.
The people have no idea what they are looking for.
I vaguely heard that the national treasury was robbed, and I thought some treasure was stolen. Anyway, it had nothing to do with them.
There are so many treasures in the national treasury, it doesn’t matter if a few are missing. The most important thing is that the Duke of Zhenguo’s mansion was confiscated and he was exiled.
The Xiao family produced a god of war. This is not just a casual statement. If it were not for the protection of the Xiao family, the Daliang Kingdom would not have the current stability and prosperity.
The people will never forget the Xiao family who led the troops to fight in times of national crisis.
When the people saw the guards carrying the bloodstained quilt out of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, their eyes became hot and tears rolled down their cheeks instantly.
Looking at Xiao Yunzhan's pale face due to excessive blood loss, the people felt heartbroken.
With a whoosh, the people who admired the God of War knelt down one after another.
"General Xiao, take care on your journey."
"General Xiao, hold on..."
......
The people looked at the ferocious guards and dared not say anything outrageous. They could only offer dry words of encouragement.
Since ancient times, few loyal ministers have had a good ending, and only treacherous ministers can win the emperor's favor.
Old Madam Xiao's eyes were filled with tears. She looked at the people with gratitude, choking with sobs and unable to utter any words.
Lin Yiran looked at these simple and honest people, and felt a little sad.
The people have sharp eyes and they know best whether an official is a good one or not.
She didn't curse the wrong person when she was reading.
As soon as the three sisters-in-law walked out of the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, they looked around.
I looked around but didn't see anyone from my mother's family, and my heart suddenly felt cold.
Yao Wenhong's eyes turned red with anger. The families of his eldest sister-in-law and third brother's wife were all civil servants, so it was understandable that the civil servants did not come to see him off for the sake of self-preservation.
Her father is fearless, so why did he become cowardly at the critical moment?
Sudden!
A stilted cry came from the crowd.
"elder sister!"
When Lin Yiran heard this familiar and disgusting voice, she looked up suddenly.
Lin Taotao walked towards Lin Yiran with a distressed look on her face. She bowed to the official and pleaded softly,
"Please, sir, let me have a few kind words with my sister. Please."
The guard looked at the delicate Lin Taotao, his ears turned slightly red, and he took a half step aside.
"Hurry up."
"Thank you, officer."
Lin Taotao thanked the guard and hurriedly walked towards Lin Yiran with her maid.
The three sisters-in-law looked at Lin Taotao with confusion.
My fourth brother’s wife has severed all ties with her family, yet someone from her family came to see her off, which made her family seem cold-blooded.
Old Madam Xiao frowned and looked at Lin Taotao, then glanced at Lin Yiran.
Looking at the sneer on Lin Yiran's face, she immediately understood that the two sisters were not getting along.
"elder sister!"
Lin Taotao looked at Lin Yiran with sympathy, leaned over and whispered in her ear,
"My dear sister, the journey is long and steep, and the cold in Ningguta is unbearable. Your days ahead will be full of hardships. You must hold on..."
In her previous life, she was abandoned by her father and lived an inhuman life with the Xiao family. This time, it was finally her sister's turn.
It's true that things change over time. My sister can't have all the good times.
But she is not as short-sighted as her sister, who is not satisfied with just a small third place in the imperial examination. She wants to enter the palace. If God lets her live again, she must have the most honorable position to be worthy of her.
Lin Yiran sneered and looked at Lin Taotao with disdain.
"Look at your sister's bad complexion. I guess she hasn't had a good life. You won't have many good days left in the future."
Before Lin Taotao could open her mouth, Lin Yiran looked at her hair, clicked her tongue, and sneered,
"Sister, you are dressed so plainly today, without even a hairpin. If you don't know, you might think that the Lin family has also been exiled."
"Stop talking nonsense! I saw you were exiled and was afraid that wearing jewelry would irritate you, so I dressed so plainly on purpose. How could you not appreciate my kindness?"
Lin Taotao glared at Lin Yiran angrily, her facial expression somewhat out of control.
In the morning, she was scolded by her father for not predicting that her house would be robbed.
I don’t know where the thief came from, but he even stole my daughter’s clothes and dressing table.
How could she know whether this incident happened in her previous life? At that time, she had already been tied up and sent to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion by her father.
"Heh!" Lin Yiran sneered and glanced at the clothes on Lin Taotao.
"Sister, I saw Cuihua, your maidservant, wearing the clothes you are wearing. Is the Lin Mansion so destitute now? Why is it that Sister, you have had enough of being the second young lady of the Lin Mansion and want to be a maid?"
She cleaned the Lin Mansion very cleanly last night, especially Lin Taotao's room, and even cleaned the mosquito net.
Lin Taotao took a pair of scissors and cut off the beads she was wearing on her hands when she slept.
The main purpose is to make Lin Taotao angry to death and the Lin family poor.
Lin Taotao was so angry that her teeth were chattering and she wanted to slap Lin Yiran in the face.
She specially brought her maid to see Lin Yiran early in the morning to make fun of her, but ended up being laughed at instead.
“You even…”
"What are you all doing here? Hurry up and leave!"
Lin Taotao had a lot to say but before she could even curse out loud, she was interrupted by Yu Huaqian's scolding.
Yu Huaqian looked at the people kneeling on the ground, frowning tightly, and urged,
"Please move aside, everyone. You can't afford to waste time."
When the people heard this, they were frightened and retreated to both sides.
Lin Taotao's face turned ashen as she was pulled aside by Cuihua.
Lin Yiran raised her eyebrows provocatively at Lin Taotao, and supported Old Madam Xiao as they walked towards the city gate with the team in a heroic and confident manner.
The scene was like a victorious general parading through the streets.
Lin Taotao was so angry that her teeth almost broke, and she cursed Lin Yiran countless times in her heart.
