g some rice wouldn't seem strange to anyone.Today, even the officials weren't in the mood to assign people to cook porridge. So everyone looked after themselves. Each person received a small handful o..."Damn, Yuan'er!"
At this moment, Song's lady, who had fainted earlier, finally woke up. Looking at Song Jiubian's miserable state, tears streamed down her face.
Hurt a child, pain a mother's heart. Song's Madam hurriedly asked her maidservant to fetch medicine, however at this time, where in the mansion could there still be any medicine
Even if there were medicine, those contemptuous forest guards wouldn't allow them to use it.
The scene was chaotic for a moment, the Imperial Forest Army wouldn't show any mercy. Right now, Jiang Wan felt fortunate that Song Jiubian had only been stripped of his title as an heir apparent and demoted to commoner status.
If she were reduced to a criminal branded with the mark of a slave, Ginger would definitely run away at that moment. She could repay this favor later!
"Hurry, put on coarse linen clothes!"
The new official who took over handed them each a rough hemp garment, his face grim. The people of the prince's manor usually wore silk and brocade, which were worth some silver.
These cannot be worn through. Although the crowd is unwilling, they can only obediently change into rough hemp clothes at this moment.
Song Jiuyuan was an exception, after all, his clothes were already stained with blood, so it didn't matter whether he changed or not at this point.
Once they were dressed in rough sackcloth, they were brutally expelled from the palace. What greeted them was a rain of rotten vegetable leaves and eggs from the people of the entire city.
"You really think winning a single battle will make you emperor"
"It's all karma, this official disregards human life. We should fight back and break everything!"
"I curse them to a horrible death!"
"...."
The jarring words pierced everyone's ears. While Ginger Wan had just arrived and wasn't as overwhelmed, the atmosphere in the Prince's Residence was heavy, with each person looking like they'd been hit by frost.
Especially Song Jiubian, thinking of him wholeheartedly protecting the common people, he was ultimately scolded and resented by these people. He was so angry that he fainted.
"Big brother!"
With Song Jiuchiran on his back, Song Jiuyuan panicked. Jiang Wan hurriedly stepped forward to shield them from the rotten vegetable leaves that were hurled at them. Unfortunately, they didn't receive a friendly look from anyone in the Prince's Mansion.
Everyone was preoccupied with themselves and their own discomfort. They, who had always lived a life of luxury and ease, simply couldn't bear it. Each one of them wept uncontrollably.
The journey out of the city was incredibly difficult. By the time they reached the city gate, everyone was battered and bruised.
The officers escorting them were naturally not from the Imperial Guard. Besides their own household, there were also people exiled for other crimes.
Hundreds of people streamed out of the city, quickly reaching Changting. Outside Changting, relatives came to bid farewell, this was their only hope.
Officials won't obstruct them either, after all, these people receive money and ultimately it still ends up in their pockets. Therefore, they will even deliberately delay the process.
A crowd of people eagerly awaited their families, and one after another, many women's in-laws arrived with dowries.
The Shen family arrived at this time. The Shen family still valued Shen Qian quite a bit, and her mother had someone send over a large package.
The old woman's face looked much better now. Having received the package, the flustered Shen Qianqian finally found a sense of existence and deliberately glanced at Jiang Wan.
"It seems my mother still remembers me, unlike some people. They're about to leave and not a single person from their family has shown up."
This was clearly a mockery of Jiang Wan, but Jiang Wan remained unfazed. She only carefully wiped the face of the unconscious Song Jiubian.
He was from the Ministry of Officials.
Someone spoke up, and from afar, everyone saw the carriage of the Shangshu Mansion. The crowd was shaken, and everyone eagerly looked toward the carriage.
Even the old lady, a wry smile appeared on her lips. She never imagined they would fall to the point of relying on others for help.
A carriage stopped before them, but only a young girl came out. The girl looked somewhat unfamiliar; Ginger couldn't recall ever seeing her before.
But she held nothing in her hand, only drawing a blank piece of paper from her sleeve.
"Miss, you insisted on marrying into the manor that day. Now that disaster has struck, although the master feels sorry for you, for the sake of the other sons and daughters in the manor, he can only bear to sever ties with you."
This is a letter of severance, Master's meaning is that from now on you and the study have no further relationship!
This is simply throwing someone to the wolves. If the original owner was still around, they would probably be driven mad with anger. No wonder the original owner in the book was so neurotic.
All the people in the Wangfu looked at the arrogant little girl in disbelief, their hearts turning cold. This Jiang Shangshu was indeed the most ruthless one!
Compared to everyone else's jaws about to drop, Ginger Wan took the divorce decree calmly. Looking at the little girl who threw it down and shouted:
"Tell the Grand Minister that from now on, whether I live or die, whether I am poor or rich, it is none of his concern."
Jiang Wan didn't believe it. As a descendant of modern Chinese medicine practitioners, she wouldn't always be struggling like this. One day, she would make the people in the Shangshu Mansion beg and fawn over her!
"That's the best!"
The little girl arrogantly climbed onto the carriage, which clattered away before everyone's eyes. The stunned crowd only came to their senses after it was gone.
Shen Qian looked at Jiang Wan with disdain, stirring up the crowd. "I thought my sister-in-law's family was here to deliver gifts, but I didn't expect them to come to break off the relationship."
This statement was like a drop of water falling into hot oil, instantly causing it to boil over.
The old mistress, who had been enduring it silently, looked at Ginger's nose and eyes as if they weren't noses and eyes.
Those with two or three rooms looked down on Ginger even more. The second mistress, Mrs. Wang, couldn't help but chime in with her daughter-in-law, mocking Ginger.
It seems my daughter-in-law was right, you are a jinx. As soon as you stepped in the door, our palace was raided.
Now even your own family disowns you, aren't you a disaster Who else would be
"I think it's not just ginger, but your main family has dragged down our second and third families. You are responsible for this."
Sima's gaze was cold as she looked down at Song Jiubian, who had fainted. If it weren't for Song Jiubian, their family wouldn't have been implicated in this mess.
"My mother is right. If it weren't for my older brother, we wouldn't have been exiled."
"I don't want to be exiled, it's all your fault, elder brother and sister-in-law!"
“…”
The children of the second and third rooms accused the eldest room's people one after another, while the old lady watched from the side with her arms crossed, showing blatant favoritism.
Mrs. Song, who was already not in good spirits, almost fainted from anger. If it weren't for being supported by Song Jiubian, this little leopard, Song Jichu, would have probably exploded.
Ginger swept a cold glance over these people's ugly faces, "When my husband was enfeoffed as king, how come I didn't see you guys saying anything about our main house"
Now we're in trouble, oh, it's all because of our eldest brother You want to blackmail us, you dream on!
These vulgar words just fell into Song Jiuyuan's ears as he was slowly waking up. His eyelids twitched, and he hadn't expected this cunning woman to have such a sharp tongue.
But, well said!
He painfully opened his eyelids, his lower body was in agonizing pain, yet none of the people who had once thrived off him cared about him.
Human hearts are terrifying, that's all there is to it.
"Yu'er!"
Song Daniuzi, despite her frail body, walked several steps to Song Jiubian's side, tears streaming down her face.
This is a beautiful woman who only knows how to cry. Jiang Wan felt a bit of a headache, but Shen Qian had already been angered by her words.
Just as I was about to retort, the hot-tempered official suddenly opened his mouth and spoke in a harsh, angry tone:
"All of you, be quiet and keep moving!"t you go yourself Couldn't I and Lou Sicheng just go" Gu Yuling still stubbornly turned his head, his gaze falling on Jiang Yan's face.He can't afford to take that kind of risk.If Ginger really got in...
