Niu Changji's concubines felt very disappointed when they saw that Meng Zhuang had no mercy on women.
I couldn't help crying when I thought about having to walk such a long way.
They have never suffered such hardship before.
Old Lady Niu looked at the female members of the Xiao family working together to lift Xiao Yunzhan, and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
A noble family is a noble family. Even if it has declined, the pride in their bones remains, and they look very imposing when they stand there.
Unlike the group of mandarin ducks in her family, they are spineless and look like they came out of a brothel, giving her a headache.
Old Madam Niu sighed deeply. She was so old and had to suffer this pain at the end of her life.
What a sin!
She had told her son a long time ago that he should not be too ostentatious, should not offend those officials, and should always maintain harmony.
The main reason was that her son's official position in the capital was indeed not ranked high. The capital was full of hidden talents, and if one was not careful, he might offend a big family.
But Niu Changji was a flamboyant person. After being promoted to deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, he often complained about his immediate superior's incompetence when he returned home, as if the position of deputy commander had wronged him.
Now that she is in trouble, there is no one to protect her Niu family.
The house was searched so thoroughly that the bracelet she had worn on her wrist for half her life was even taken off.
What a sin!
Old Lady Niu was too lazy to care about the concubines crying and wailing. She pursed her lips and glanced at her daughter-in-law.
"You shameful thing, hurry up and help me get on my way."
"Ha, from now on, I am not your daughter-in-law."
Madam Niu raised her eyelids, glared at Madam Niu hatefully, and pointed at the group of concubines.
"Well, those are your daughters-in-law. Order them around. I won't serve you anymore."
After saying that, Mrs. Niu waved her hand and started chasing after the Xiao family.
She and Niu Changji had been married for ten years but had no children, so she allowed Niu Changji to take a concubine.
As long as these concubines could get pregnant and raise children under her lap, she would tolerate it.
Over the years, he had taken in 30 concubines and arranged for many bed-warming maids, but he still didn't have a child.
Because there were too many concubines in the Niu Mansion, she was worried about the birth of an illegitimate child. There was not even a servant in the mansion, only maids and old women.
He worked hard for the Niu Mansion for so many years, taking strict precautions, but ended up with nothing and was even exiled to Ningguta.
There is simply no mistress more miserable than her. But her mother-in-law is still a worry-free person. She always makes indirect accusations and brings any fertile girl into the mansion without considering her face at all.
Now the whole family is in exile, and she still wants to act like a mother-in-law in front of her. What a pipe dream.
"You-----are you crazy? You have no manners, do you still respect your elders?"
Old Madam Niu's pupils dilated, and she pointed at Madam Niu's back with shaking fingers, her chest heaving with anger.
She couldn't believe that her daughter-in-law, who always obeyed her, dared to speak to her like that.
Who gave her the courage?
Old Madam Niu had not yet adapted to her exiled status, and she angrily chased after Madam Niu with her crutches.
Mrs. Niu ignored her and kept walking forward.
"What are you arguing about? Hurry up and get on with your journey!"
"Crackle~"
The officer watched the quarrel between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law as if he were watching a show, and cracked his whip to urge them on.
As soon as the whip cracks.
Those 30 concubines would scream like ghosts and wolves.
The officers seemed to be having fun, and the sounds of whips rang out one after another.
Lin Yiran lifted a corner of the quilt and glanced back.
These concubines walked really slowly, not even as fast as an old lady like Madam Niu.
Old Lady Niu followed Madam Niu and kept chattering.
He kept talking and his steps kept up.
Mrs. Niu also refused to give in, which made Mrs. Niu's face become increasingly darker.
Then she looked at Meng Zhuang, who was at the end, chasing after the screaming concubines. His face looked as if he was constipated, which made her laugh.
This scene really looks like a goose herder driving a group of geese with their necks stretched and screaming.
Meng Zhuang looked at the Xiao family members in front of him and saw that they had already put a considerable distance between themselves and these concubines who were crying and wailing.
He gritted his teeth, his anger level gradually soared, his eyes swept over these concubines, and he swung the whip towards the concubine at the end of the team.
"Crackle~~"
"ah!"
The concubine at the end of the team, wiping her tears, stopped in pain and fell to the ground.
Her back felt like it was exploding with pain, and the burning wound made her vision go black.
The screams of the concubine at the end of the team frightened the concubines in front of them, who were crying in tears, into silence instantly.
Everyone looked at the sisters rolling on the ground in pain with horror, their whole bodies shaking uncontrollably.
"This is what happens when you don't want to travel properly."
Meng Zhuangsen's cold eyes swept over everyone one by one, "Who else wants to be whipped?"
The concubines shuddered all over, beads of sweat instantly broke out on their foreheads, and they collectively shook their heads.
"Then hurry up and run!"
Meng Zhuang roared at the top of his lungs.
They haven't even been given bracelets and anklets yet, but they're already walking so slowly. If they were given bracelets and anklets, they wouldn't be able to reach the next inn until night.
With a whoosh, the concubines started running forward like frightened rabbits.
In the hustle and bustle, many people fell down.
The concubine who was whipped, under the threat of Meng Zhuang's dark face, endured the pain, got up, and stumbled to follow.
When Old Madam Xiao turned around and saw someone being beaten, her face was full of worry when she looked at her daughters-in-law.
