Chapter 52 Third Prince, how come you were also exiled?
Everyone in the Yunyang Marquis's residence looked in the direction of the sound.
Seeing the Third Prince and Yun Jiaoyue, he was overjoyed.
Yun Xiuwen shouted excitedly, "Third Prince, Yue'er, Yue'er, are you here to save your father? Quickly get your father out of here, I don't want to stay in this awful place for another second."
A group of concubines and illegitimate children also joined in the shouting, "Third Prince, Third Princess, help! Your Highness..."
People from the second and third branches of the Xiao family across the street also shouted, "Your Highness, please save us too! We were implicated. It's the eldest branch that deserves to die. We have nothing to do with them! Help!"
Yun Zhaoxue's ears ached from the constant wails. She covered her ears with her hands and said impatiently, "Are you all blind? You gouged out your eyeballs and used them as balls. Didn't you see they were brought in by the Imperial Guards? If I'm not mistaken, they should be exiled with us and can't even protect themselves. How can they save you? Now you know who's responsible, right? Don't pin everything on me. If it weren't for the cell between us, I... I would have smashed your mouths."
They've already been exiled; it would be a laughingstock to call herself a princess.
The third prince, a member of the imperial family, was imprisoned.
Already feeling aggrieved and humiliated, their shouting made everyone in the cell aware of what was happening. As they passed by, people from the surrounding cells stared at them, mocking, "The Third Prince? How did the Third Prince end up locked up here too..."
Were they also exiled?
The Third Prince is the Emperor's son.
The Yunyang Marquis's family was still hoping that the Third Prince would rescue them.
Seeing that they were also locked up, I felt like the sky had fallen. Everything went black, and I almost fainted. When I woke up, I realized it was all a dream.
It can't be true, it absolutely can't be true!!!
The first to give in was Old Madam Yun.
Yunyang had more than a dozen concubines, and the second and third branches of the Yun family didn't have many people. A group of people were crammed into a small prison cell.
She could barely stand; when she fell, she didn't touch the ground but instead fell onto the younger generation.
"Grandmother (the old lady), Grandmother, what's wrong?"
Marquis Yunyang didn't have time to ask how Yun Jiaoyue and the others had also been imprisoned. "Mother, Mother, please don't let anything happen to you. How can we rely on you at home?"
Madam Yun was still somewhat conscious, but upon hearing this, she fainted completely from anger.
Before losing consciousness, she wished she could just die like that.
Dragging my old bones to exile, I'd never make it to the place of exile. It's better to die with dignity in the capital and suffer less torment.
Yun Xiuwen and the others grabbed Old Madam Yun and shook her violently.
Yun Zhaoxue kindly reminded her, "Stop shaking her, or she'll die. Pinch her philtrum hard, pinch her hard!"
That old hag Yun is no good. It's too good for her to die now. She should be exiled to suffer before she dies.
Yun Xiuwen did as instructed, pinching and squeezing the philtrum of Old Madam Yun with all his might, pulling her back from the brink of death.
The first thing Old Madam Yun did upon waking up was to slap Yun Xiuwen across the face. "Slap!"
"You unfilial son, why did you even save me? You shouldn't have saved me; you should have just let me die. How are we, with our old bones, supposed to make it all the way to Lingnan?"
Yun Jiaoyue, from the next cell, came over to comfort her, saying, "Grandmother, being exiled is actually much better than staying in the capital. You'll see in time."
In their previous life, the Yunyang Marquis's family also became prisoners of the enemy army. The young men of the Marquis's family were all castrated and sent to the palace to become eunuchs, while the women were used as military prostitutes and were wantonly humiliated by enemy soldiers.
Exile is much better in comparison.
Upon entering the Third Prince's cell, guards immediately stepped forward to tidy up the messy straw and dirt.
Other families can't even bring a servant, but the Third Prince can bring guards.
To act so openly in prison must be with the Emperor's permission.
After the guards finished tidying up, the Third Prince and Yun Jiaoyue took their seats. Surprisingly, there was even a teapot and teacups.
Yun Zhaoxue looked on with envy. Which of these was a case of being exiled after having their property confiscated? They must be on vacation, first a day trip to prison, then a day trip from the capital to Lingnan.
Seeing her enemies so comfortable made Yun Zhaoxue feel suffocated.
Suddenly a voice rang in my ear, "What? Envious?"
Yun Zhaoxue remained silent, but she was definitely envious. She envied that the other person could have guards serving him while in prison and could even sit at the table to drink tea.
But Xiao Xiuning's envy wasn't this kind of envy; she probably meant that she envied Yun Jiaoyue for being able to stay by the Third Prince's side.
He added, "Envy is useless. With your viciousness, the Third Prince would never be interested in you."
"Why would I want him to like something? Can't I even look? What's it to you? Stop being so nosy!"
Xiao Xiuning stood up for her brother, saying, "My third brother is right there, so badly injured, and you don't even look at him. You're staring at other men. You're shameless."
"I am not your slave. It's none of your business what I want to see. Get out of my way! Don't make me hit you."
Xiao Xuance felt that his younger sister was being unreasonable and stopped her in a deep voice, "Xiuning, we are all family, don't pick on your third sister-in-law."
"Third Brother, I didn't mean to cause trouble. You don't know how much she cares about you..."
"Xiuning, shut up!" Madam Yang shouted, then instructed her youngest son, "Xiaowu, go and pull him over here."
"Fourth Sister, come over here." Xiao Xuanwu tried to pull her aside.
Xiao Xiuning, however, did not appreciate it and waved her brother's hand away.
Suddenly, another family was brought in.
Xiao Xiuning's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Look who's over there. On the road to exile, you've gathered your old love and new love. But I'll keep an eye on you for my third brother and won't give you the chance to have an affair with another man."
Yun Zhaoxue turned around and saw Shen Yan. The Shen family was part of the Third Prince's faction. It was not surprising that they were exiled after the Third Prince was exiled.
She even wished the scumbag would be exiled, torment him slowly on the way, and avenge the original owner of the body.
However, it seems there's another family following behind the Shen family.
She mimicked the other person's sarcastic tone and said, "Look who's over there?"
