Chapter 53: Confiscation of property, exile 5
Are you playing the game of avoiding the subject with her?
Su Wanyan said that she would too. She nodded tearfully, "Yes, thank you, father. I wonder if you could give me all the shop deeds that my mother left me. I think if anything happens to the prince along the way, I will... I will have a way to deal with it, wuwu..."
Su Hongan: “…”
Shop title deed?!
Hasn’t that woman Ji returned all of Meng Jinwei’s dowry to Su Wanyan yet?
Su Rongyan, who was following beside her, was extremely happy when she saw that Su Wanyan was going to be exiled to Quanzhou with Prince Xiao's family. But now, when she heard that Su Wanyan was going to play tricks again, she immediately became unhappy. With so many people around, if others really took Su Wanyan's words seriously, then wouldn't everyone know that her mother had withheld the dowry left by the original wife for the legitimate daughter?
"Sister, are you so anxious that you're confused? Those shop deeds were originally left by the eldest lady for the expenses of the Su Mansion. All the money earned by those shops over the years has been used for the public use of the Su Mansion. You also know this, right?"
"Really? Then why do I remember that on the dowry list my mother gave me, the deeds to these shops are all in my name? Does the Su family have to rely on the meager savings of one daughter to survive?" Su Wanyan couldn't help but feel itchy when she saw Su Rongyan's delicate and weak little white flower appearance.
But in ancient times, there seemed to be quite a lot of women like this. I don’t know why men like this type?
Su Hongan didn't want to argue with Su Wanyan any more, for fear that she would reveal the emperor's plan regardless of the consequences. The Su family was able to avoid the influence of Prince Xiao's family because of his loyalty to the emperor and the fact that the prince was interested in Rong Yan.
He had already given up a legitimate daughter for the sake of the royal family, and he couldn't let Su Rongyan have any more unfavorable rumors. So, he stopped Su Rongyan from arguing with his eyes and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll have someone deliver all these to you later."
Su Wanyan seemed to be comforted by Su Hongan. She nodded obediently and turned to get on the carriage.
The carriage of Prince Xiao's Mansion was large and luxurious. In order to take care of Ji Xiaohan, only one side of the interior had a seat added, and the rest of the space was used as Ji Xiaohan's bed, but he still felt very cramped when lying down, just like the unfair treatment that Prince Xiao's Mansion was facing now.
In order to avoid any further complications, dozens of people from Prince Xiao's mansion were driven out of the city gate without even entering the prison.
The exiling officers had been waiting there long ago, along with two families of corrupt officials who had been sentenced to have their property confiscated, and their families, more than a hundred people in total. All the adult men were wearing handcuffs and shackles, and the women had their hands tied to a rope, to ensure that no one would have a chance to escape during the subsequent exile.
They had been waiting here for almost a whole morning. They were all people who had been pampered in the mansion. Their homes had just been ransacked, and now they were being chained up like dogs, with the sun shining on their heads. People along the way were pointing and watching the excitement. These people had long been resentful of those who made them wait here.
Now, the person walking towards them was actually the former Prince Xiao. Everyone was stunned.
Prince Xiao was also confiscated and exiled? What kind of serious crime did he commit?
But the treatment of royal family members is different. Look, not only do they not have to change into prison uniforms, they can also ride in carriages.
Some narrow-minded women looked at the people in Prince Xiao's Mansion with jealousy and contempt. They were all criminals, so why could they ride in carriages?
