Chapter 1 Once you travel through time, your home will be confiscated

The Great Chu Dynasty, the twenty-first year of the Apocalypse.

The Duke's Mansion was full of joy, with crowds of people and loud gongs and drums.

Tang Xinyue opened her eyes leisurely and found that she was sitting in a soft sedan.

As the sedan jolted, her head felt dizzy, and she quickly rubbed her temples with both hands.

For a moment, after she cleared her thoughts, she wished she could go back and feed the person who killed her a hundred hell pills.

Tang Xinyue confirmed that she, a descendant, had passed through the body of a woman with the same name in a different continent.

The original owner had the same name as her, also named Tang Xinyue, and was the eldest daughter of Marquis Ningyuan.

Unfortunately, when the original owner was three years old, her biological mother passed away. The master invited by her stepmother said that she was tough and would overcome her father and mother.

So, at a young age, she was sent to a Taoist temple for spiritual cultivation. She was not taken back until she was fourteen years old.

The reason why the original owner's stepmother would take this unpopular daughter back was because the emperor had already given marriage to the legitimate daughter of Marquis Ningyuan to the youngest son of the Duke of Laozhen - Qi Yunfeng, the seventh eldest son.

The old Duke, his three sons, and three adopted sons all disappeared three years ago, and they are feared to have been in danger for a long time.

Although Qi Yunfeng has become the new Duke of the country, there is nothing if he dies.

Of course, the stepmother of the original owner was reluctant to part with her biological daughter. Sooner or later, she would become a widow, so the original owner got married.

The original owner had been looked down upon since he was a child, and now that he saw how his family arranged the marriage, he couldn't think about it for a moment, so he ate arsenic in front of the sedan chair, and that was how Tang Xinyue arrived.

This bit of poison was nothing to Tang Xinyue.

In her previous life, she was a master of medicine and poisoning. She has inherited the family's Phoenix Space since she was born.

Her hands saved many people, but also poisoned too many people to death.

Touching the phoenix mark on her wrist, Tang Xinyue smiled knowingly, took out an antidote pill from the space and took it.

At this moment, the remaining poison in the original owner's body had completely dissipated.

After getting off the sedan chair, Tang Xinyue fulfilled the fate of the original owner and went to the wedding hall to get married to the Duke of Guo.

Since the hand of fate has sent her here, now that she has come, let her be at ease.

Sitting in her wedding room, she had already thought about how to live her own life with her husband.

She can live alone in a courtyard, and he can find as many concubines as he wants.

While she was thinking, the noise outside the wedding room became louder and louder.

The dowry girl Zhenzhu reminded in a low voice, "Miss, my uncle is here."

As she finished speaking, Qi Yunfeng, dressed in happy clothes, walked in surrounded by a group of people.

After seeing off the last guest, it was almost dark, and Qi Yunfeng hurried to the wedding room. He was worried that the bride would be hungry all day.

"My lord, it's time to lift your hijab." Xi Po's eyes turned into chrysanthemums with laughter, and she handed Qi Yunfeng a jade ruyi.

Qi Yunfeng picked up Yu Ruyi and, under the gaze of everyone, gently lifted the red hijab covering Tang Xinyue's head.

For a moment, their eyes met and everything around them seemed to be still.

In Tang Xinyue's opinion, the Qi Yunfeng in front of her was extremely handsome, with a pair of sharp and deep eyes on his sculptured facial features. This was the first time she felt how a man could be so good-looking.

If in future generations, even if he cannot become a respected general, he will still be a star that attracts everyone's attention.

In Qi Yunfeng's view, Tang Xinyue was not timid under his gaze, but instead bravely faced her. This was different from other women.

Seeing how affectionate they were, Po Xi quickly greeted everyone out cheerfully, and the lively wedding room suddenly became unusually quiet.

After everyone had gone out, Qi Yunfeng said distressedly, "Let me help you take off the beaded crown on your head."

Tang Xinyue had long felt that her neck was a little heavy, but when she heard Qi Yunfeng's words, she quickly turned around in cooperation.

Seeing Yushu Linfeng's Qi Yunfeng gently help her take off her headdress, she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.

Could such a good person be as short-lived as his father and brother?

"Are you hungry?" Qi Yunfeng put down the jewelry and asked again.

Tang Xinyue shook her head gently, walked straight to the round table and sat down, "Qi Yunfeng, I have something to tell you."

At this critical moment, she ignored the taboo of ancient names and called the other person by his first name.

The other party treated her very well, but she was afraid that if it was too late, some words would not be uttered.

Just when she was about to start a relationship, she suddenly raised her head and whispered, "Someone is coming."

Her phoenix mark also has spatial powers. Not only can she teleport, she can also communicate with flowers and plants and sense changes in space within a ten-mile radius.

The wind direction outside suddenly changed, something must be going on.

A few breaths later, the sound of a sharp weapon being embedded in the door frame was heard.

Qi Yunfeng hurriedly opened the door and took off the sharp tools and paper from the door frame.

"What's wrong?" Tang Xinyue asked with concern.

"The emperor has issued an order to search the house." Qi Yunfeng solemnly replied, "Tomorrow at midnight."

Search your home? He was so calm without any trace of panic, Tang Xinyue couldn't help but admire him.

Facing those sharp eyes, she showed no fear, "You still have time to prepare."

After a long time, Qi Yunfeng asked in a deep voice, "Why do you say this?"

The Emperor of Dachu has always been afraid of the Zhenguo Palace, which he has known for a long time.

Rumor has it that the whereabouts of his father and brother are unknown, but to the emperor, this is like a bow and arrow hidden in the dark.

And if he doesn't die for a day, it will be like a sharp sword in the open.

These made the already suspicious emperor feel like he was sitting on pins and needles and had a problem in his throat.

Moreover, in the past two years, there has been a rumor that Qi Yunfeng is the chosen one.

Even Qi Yunfeng didn't understand what the chosen son meant. But since the rumor came out, the emperor was obviously more wary of him.

Even the prince who was once close to him deliberately distanced himself from him.

He understood that although he did not take the Chosen Son seriously, the emperor would never take him seriously and would one day take action against him.

But he didn't expect that this day would come faster and more tragically than he imagined. The emperor unexpectedly killed him when he was getting married.

Although he was angry, he was more worried.

Is the family going to suffer so much if they are not fully prepared?

No, he will never be willing to do so.

"You still have time to transfer your property." Tang Xinyue smiled.

Seeing that she was calmer than him, Qi Yunfeng's mood suddenly seemed less heavy.

"It's too late." Qi Yunfeng shook his head.

The emperor will definitely be able to find out the materials that have just been transferred out now, so why bother hurting others?

Tang Xinyue raised her head and said, "Perhaps due to the protection of the gods, I got a treasure that can help store supplies."

Qi Yunfeng has great martial arts skills and is good at leading troops. At first glance, he is an upright man with a noble character. Tang Xinyue thought it wouldn't hurt to reveal a little of her secret to him.

Besides, on the way to exile, she would always use the things in the space. If she mentioned them now, she wouldn't have to explain them in a painstaking manner later.

"Can everything in the warehouse be accommodated?" Qi Yunfeng asked tentatively.

"Yes." Tang Xinyue replied confidently.

In addition to her living room, her space also has a storage room that can be made larger or smaller depending on the things put in it, and can accommodate everything.

"Come here, go to the old lady and the eldest lady, tell them that I want to raise military pay, and ask them to donate and send it all to me."

After getting this answer, Qi Yunfeng immediately made a decision, walked outside the door and gave instructions.

Today, the highest-ranking elder in the Qi family is the old lady. The old lady has two legitimate sons and one bastard. Qi Yunfeng's father is the old lady's eldest son.

However, due to the difficulty in giving birth to her eldest son and the fact that she had a younger son, the old lady always preferred the third bedroom.

Over the years, she has been living with Sanfang.

Because the second wife is a concubine, she is even more unpopular with the old lady.

Therefore, the master of the second house sized up the situation and got closer to the first house.

"Yes." The attendant ordered and left.

Qi Yunfeng looked back at his newlywed wife and found that she was not as dull as he had expected, but on the contrary, she was very smart.

Could it be that the investigation was wrong?

Chapter 2 Reciprocity

The old lady's side.

On the big day, the old lady was totally unwilling to talk about preparing military pay, so she naturally ignored her.

She didn't believe that Qi Yunfeng could still find trouble with her.

Since her eldest son disappeared, the old lady didn't take her eldest son seriously.

Although Qi Yunfeng inherited the title of Grand Duke, in her eyes, he did not receive the glory of his ancestors.

Seeing that there was no movement from the old lady, Qi Yunfeng stopped paying attention.

Although the eldest lady Mei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were puzzled, they still sent over the valuable things in their rooms.

After the seven people exchanged pleasantries with Tang Xinyue, they took out the banknotes, jewelry, gold and silver jewelry.

Although it is a full table, it is actually not too much.

Although the Zhenguogongfu is a meritorious family, it is not rich, and can even be considered poor, because they spend most of their money on the military.

Every time, they only have money when the emperor allocates military pay to them.

But now, military pay has not been paid for half a year.

All signs indicate that the emperor has been planning for a long time.

Meeting his mother's inquiring eyes, Qi Yunfeng said solemnly, "Mom, six sisters-in-law, I'm afraid the Zhenguo Palace will no longer exist tomorrow."

That letter was by no means groundless. After returning from the border this time, he had keenly sensed the changes in the emperor.

Besides, if someone really played a prank, he should be prepared in advance.

Hearing this, Mei and the others couldn't sit still and stood up.

They looked at Qi Yunfeng and then at Tang Xinyue. Seeing their tense expressions, they finally confirmed that they had heard correctly.

"Feng'er, are you serious about this?" Mei, who had always been as steady as a mountain, finally lost her composure.

Qi Yunfeng couldn't bear to hurt his mother's heart, but he still nodded heavily.

The Emperor has been targeting the Zhenguo Palace for more than a day or two. Although the Mei family is deep in the inner palace, she still knows something about it.

Seeing her son speaking so truthfully now, she still trembled and sat back dejectedly.

The Qi family has been loyal and loyal for generations, and they have dedicated their lives to the Chu Dynasty until their death. But even so, the emperor will not let them go.

"Mother, sooner or later we will pass this level. It is better to pass it later than to pass it early." Qi Yunfeng sighed.

The Zhenguo Duke's Mansion has already achieved great success and shocked the Lord, making it difficult for the Emperor to sleep and eat well. If the emperor has a hard time, he won't let others have a good time.

Nowadays, in the face of disaster, only a strong family can survive the crisis.

The six sisters-in-law felt sad in their hearts. Their husband suddenly disappeared three years ago, and now the family is about to be in trouble again. They all couldn't help crying like Mrs. Mei.

Over the years, they have always believed that their husband must not be dead, and maybe he will come back suddenly.

But now the emperor wants to take action against the Zhenguo Palace. His home is not here, and what should he do if his husband cannot see the Qi family when he comes back?

Amidst the crying, the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, and the third sister-in-law all bit their lips to prevent themselves from crying.

Among the sisters-in-law, the three of them are older and have been at Qi's house longer.

What's more important is that their husbands are the adopted sons of the Duke of Zhenguo.

In ordinary people, the identity of an adopted son cannot be compared with that of a legitimate son.

But in the Zhenguo Palace, the adopted son is the same as the legitimate son, and his status is even higher than that of the other brothers.

The old Duke of Guo had said more than once that he wanted his eldest son to inherit the position of Marquis.

If it hadn't been for the accident three years ago, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been Qi Yunfeng's turn to be the Duke.

In this way, the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, and the third sister-in-law have even deeper feelings for the Zhenguo Palace.

When the family is in crisis, they would rather die than have anything happen to their family again.

Tang Xinyue was quite moved when she saw the sadness on the faces of the six sisters-in-law.

In this ancient time, when a woman married her husband, her natal home was the most familiar and unfamiliar place that she could not return to.

The honor and disgrace of the rest of his life will be bound to his husband's family.

Besides, in her previous life, after completing a major assassination operation, she must have been retaliated by the enemy and turned to ashes by bombardment.

Because of the original owner, she was able to regain her life. The causal fate in this also bound her to the fate of everyone in the Zhenguo Palace.

"Okay." Mrs. Mei wiped her face, straightened her back and said, "Everyone, cheer up. As long as you don't die, there is no obstacle that you can't overcome."

After hearing Mrs. Mei's words, the six sisters-in-law stopped crying, straightened their backs, and wiped the tears from their faces.

With their mother as a role model, they cannot give in.

After a long time, Qi Yunfeng said, "Mom, sisters-in-law, whatever you can use, please send it to me."

Having said that, we need to be fully prepared.

"Okay." Seven people nodded.

A disaster is coming. If officers and soldiers come to the house tomorrow morning, they may not be able to hide a needle even if they want to.

But now Qi Yunfeng said that they believed he had a way to send these things away.

No matter where you send it, it's better than leaving it to that dog emperor.

Without saying much, the seven people immediately went back to prepare. After nightfall, one after another asked servants to bring some belongings.

Pots and pans, sewing cloths, cotton quilts, clothing for all seasons, etc., were piled up in the room like a small mountain.

None of them are valuable, but they are indispensable for home use.

"Look..." Qi Yunfeng looked at Tang Xinyue with some embarrassment.

"It's okay." Tang Xinyue understood in her heart and put all these into the space with a thought.

In the blink of an eye, the mountain of things disappeared before his eyes, and Qi Yunfeng couldn't help but be stunned.

He has been marching and fighting for many years and has seen many strange people and strange things, but this is the first time he has encountered such a strange thing.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that there was such a godly man in the world.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the warehouse." Qi Yunfeng walked straight out.

Although Tang Xinyue could rely on her spatial powers to find the warehouse, it was not a bad thing to have Qi Yunfeng leading the way.

I thought there was a mountain of gold and silver inside, but I didn't expect that the huge warehouse only contained less than one-third of the items.

Among these things, the most are just some cloth and medicinal materials.

I think these things are also prepared for the officers and soldiers who come to the front line from far away.

Seeing how poor the Duke's mansion was, Tang Xinyue sighed softly.

Even the Dog Emperor wouldn't let this go.

After they left the warehouse, they went to the kitchen, and then moved all the way to the entire Zhen Guogong Mansion.

Since the emperor wants to ransack the house, then let's leave an empty house for the emperor.

At the moment, Tang Xinyue has a better plan.

When the emperor comes to raid his house, he must return the favor. Go to the palace, empty his storehouse, and retaliate in kind.

Besides, no matter what time it is, only money can make a living. What's more, their home is about to be confiscated, so the more money, the better.

"Qi Yunfeng, I have something to go out for." Tang Xinyue immediately said to Qi Yunfeng.

"Okay, leave early and come back early." Qi Yunfeng replied.

She thought she would ask something, but she only said these few words. Tang Xinyue couldn't help but be a little surprised.

She was so miraculous that they didn't even say a word of inquiry.

Also, are you so confident that she will go out, and are you not afraid that she will not come back if she runs away?

On second thought, maybe Qi Yunfeng had plans to let her out of the house.

However, since his family's money is still in his hands, he doesn't feel bad at all.

In short, Tang Xinyue was confused by Qi Yunfeng's calmness.

At least, this means that the other party is a noble and upright person.

Looking at Tang Xinyue's leaving figure, Qi Yunfeng really thought that if she left, he would never chase her; if she came back, he would treat her well.

After all, in his opinion, Tang Xinyue had such extraordinary means, it was by no means as simple as obtaining a treasure.

He is a powerful person and can come and go as he pleases. That is the most basic respect.

Tang Xinyue teleported all the way, mobilizing her mental power from time to time, using flowers, plants and trees as eyes, and headed towards the palace.

A quarter of an hour later, Tang Xinyue appeared in front of a warehouse in the palace.

This place is heavily guarded, and there are patrols from time to time. As long as ordinary people get close, they will be discovered immediately.

But these were all useless to Tang Xinyue.

She threw a handful of stones, causing the guarding soldiers to panic. Then she teleported a few times and jumped to the top of the warehouse.

Then, at a location far away from the guards, he took out the cutting machine from the space and cut an opening into the warehouse.

If it weren't for not attracting attention, she would feel more comfortable dropping a bomb, so why bother?

After successfully entering the warehouse, her mental strength was shaken, and resonance continued to echo around her.

It seems that there is more than one such warehouse?

Chapter 3: Will the news be wrong

Tang Xinyue sensed that this warehouse was a silver warehouse, surrounded by grain warehouses, clothing warehouses, porcelain warehouses and tea warehouses.

From the signs on the outside of the warehouse, she knew that these were the emperor's private treasury, also known as the inner treasury, which was mainly used for court consumption, sacrificial expenses, and rewards from the emperor.

In addition to the private treasury, the palace also has the treasury, also known as the external treasury.

The treasury is mostly used for military pay, disaster relief, road construction, river management and other state affairs.

Out of consideration for the military and civilians of the Chu Dynasty, Tang Xinyue decided to use only the private treasury and not the national treasury.

The wealth accumulated by emperors in the past dynasties, the royal private treasury is even more amazing than the wealth of the national treasury.

It seems that they care more about the royal pleasure rather than the safety of the country.

Everywhere you look in this bank, everything is sparkling. Compared with the warehouse of the Duke's Mansion, it is a world of difference.

Hills of gold and silver, neatly arranged calligraphy and paintings, countless jades, jewelry, swords, porcelain, bronze tripods...

Looking around, everything was priceless in Tang Xinyue's eyes.

If it gets to future generations, that piece will definitely be priceless and create a sensation.

Tang Xinyue shook her head, Emperor Chu, you are really good.

With a quick thought, she took everything in sight into the space.

Go forward and collect the treasures within sight.

After ten rounds of this, she completely ransacked the warehouse.

Immediately afterwards, he followed the same pattern and also collected nothing from the other four warehouses.

Also, if the Dog Emperor likes to sit together and commit crimes, then she will also involve the Three Palaces and Sixth Court.

Soon, all the gold, silver, emeralds, rare treasures, and valuable objects in the palaces in the royal backyard were looted by her.

She was secretly amused. What would the expressions of the Dog Emperor and his concubines be like when they saw that their house had also been ransacked?

Getting angry, yelling, throwing glasses and bowls, or getting seriously ill, whatever.

Anyway, I want them to have a taste of what it feels like to have their house confiscated.

Looking at the space filled with gold and silver treasures, Tang Xinyue left the palace with satisfaction.

Ordinarily, she could turn a corner and collect the Ningyuan Hou Mansion's warehouse.

But think about it, it was the original owner's natal family after all.

Let them jump a little first so that they can climb higher before falling harder.

After successfully returning to the Zhenguo Palace, Tang Xinyue looked into the space with her spiritual consciousness. It was already four o'clock in the morning, and I was afraid that the emperor's edict would be coming in three hours.

Time is running out, and some things must be answered as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, she walked to the door and woke up Pearl who had been guarding there.

Pearl, who was a little dazed in her sleep, quickly asked in a panic, "Miss, is there anything I need my slave to do?"

"Pearl, you and I have been sisters for many years, and I'm afraid we have to say goodbye today." Tang Xinyue said with great reluctance.

Deep in her heart, she could feel the original owner's dependence on the pearl.

After all, after spending more than ten years together day and night, it is hard to say goodbye to a sudden separation.

But now the situation forced her to make such a decision.

Pearl had been with Tang Xinyue since she could remember. When she saw her saying such words, she immediately panicked and knelt down quickly, "Miss, I did something wrong. You beat me and scold me, but please don't drive me away... ..."

Seeing that she was crying with snot and tears, Tang Xinyue quickly helped her up and put a deed of betrayal into her hands.

"Zhenzhu, go back and clean up quickly, and leave the Zhenguo Palace overnight."

"You also need to keep these three deeds of sale."

There were three girls who came to marry Pearl, but in the heart of the original owner, she only loved Pearl as a sister.

That's why she handed over the three people's bonds of betrayal to Pearl.

Whether Pearl lets those three go or takes those three for herself is her own business.

"Here are one thousand taels of silver, four hundred taels for you, and two hundred taels for each of them. Take it, and if you don't leave, I will ask someone to drive you away with a stick."

Tang Xinyue threatened.

But no matter what she said, Pearl didn't move, she just cried there.

"You don't even listen to my words, do you?" Tang Xinyue got angry.

"Miss..." Pearl was still unwilling to accept the reality.

"Hurry, maybe I will need your help one day in the future." Tang Xinyue finally advised softly.

No matter how stupid Pearl is, she still understands that her eldest lady will not drive her away for no reason. Something big must have happened.

She listened to Tang Xinyue's last words, took steps, and walked forward, looking back three times.

When Tang Xinyue went out, Qi Yunfeng was not idle either.

He personally went to the second room and explained the whole story to his second uncle.

Then, he called several guards and servants around him, returned the deed of betrayal, gave them some silver, and let them out of the house.

When he returned to the wedding room, he happened to see Tang Xinyue coming back.

When he saw her figure, he was obviously shaken.

She's really back.

They don't mind that the Zhenguo Palace is about to be ransacked, and they don't mind that he is going to be a useless person. They are not physically close, so they can run away but they don't?

Qi Yunfeng was completely shocked by Tang Xinyue, who looked weak but was actually very powerful.

"Are you back?" He stepped forward, his eyes much gentler than before.

Tang Xinyue nodded, "I just went to the palace and ransacked the emperor's home."

What? Qi Yunfeng was shocked by her words.

The woman in front of her was truly extraordinary, truly astonishing.

After a long time, he slowly calmed down the fright and surprise in his heart, and pretended to be calm and said, "Let's go and have a look in mother's yard."

Qi Yunfeng was in front and Tang Xinyue was behind. The two of them arrived at Mei's courtyard in silence.

As soon as he came in, he saw a lot of people standing in the courtyard. Mrs. Mei was taking her sisters-in-law to sell them deeds and silver coins.

Seeing this, the two of them quickly stood on the back of a big tree so that no one could see them.

Tang Xinyue looked at the space subconsciously and said, "Hey, it's only 4:30 in the morning and so many people have been woken up."

"The Duke's office would like to thank you all for your hard work over the years. As a last resort today, I hope you will leave as soon as possible to prevent the city from catching fire and injuring innocent people."

After saying that, Mrs. Mei entered the house with a lonely expression.

She has made it very clear with all her heart, and now she just hopes that everyone can listen.

In the Qi family's main house, everyone from the housekeeper to the concierge smelled danger from Mei's actions.

Although they really wanted to stay in the Zhenguo Palace to advance and retreat together, they could not force the master's decision.

Soon, everyone dispersed.

Qi Yunfeng and Tang Xinyue, who were avoiding suspicion, walked out and entered Mei's house.

Now, the only people standing in the room were the nine members of their family.

"Feng'er, is the news wrong?" Mei still had a glimmer of hope.

Chapter 4: The house was ransacked

"Yes, Seventh Brother, this is so good. The Zhenguo Duke's Mansion cannot just fall down."

The sisters-in-law felt the same as the old lady, hoping that their work would be in vain.

Besides, Qi Yunfeng was guarding the border and came back specifically to get married.

Soon after getting married, he had to go to the border again to serve the country.

At this juncture, it is unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally for the emperor to commit such a murderous act!

Mei and the others were filled with indignation and wished they could break into the palace and confront the emperor.

However, at this moment, a servant ran over in a panic.

"Master Guo, madam, it's not good, the Duke's mansion is surrounded by people."

In a word, even Mei, who was mentally prepared, could not help but tremble.

She closed her eyes helplessly and sighed, "Hey, it's okay..."

Fortunately, they made preparations in advance.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Qi Yunfeng asked the servant.

"I..." The servant hesitated and was speechless.

Firstly, he didn't expect the matter to be so serious. Secondly, he took a nap after returning and packed his things late, so he didn't go out as early as others.

"There is a circular switch at the end of the warehouse. Turn left, go in and hide for a while, and come out later." Qi Yunfeng said as he took out a key from his sleeve and handed it over.

It was originally a hiding place for the Qi family just in case. Unexpectedly, it would actually come in handy today.

The servant was obviously taken aback, warehouse?

But at this time, he didn't care about it. He quickly thanked him, took the key and disappeared quickly.

Mei took the lead and walked away. Since she couldn't hide, she should face it bravely.

As soon as they walked into the garden outside, they saw dozens of officials approaching a father-in-law.

Except for Tang Xinyue, they all knew this father-in-law, who was Su Sheng, a famous person around the emperor.

The emperor had issued imperial edicts many times before to reward the Duke of Zhenguo, and it was through this Su Sheng that he came.

But, ironically, it was the same person who came to ransack the house this time.

The emperor really has ulterior motives for their government.

As soon as he saw them, Su Sheng yelled, "Don't move, we are ordered to ransack the house."

Mrs. Mei was the first to stop and looked at Su Sheng. Although she looked calm, she was still a little panicked in her heart.

Qi Yunfeng stepped forward and protected his mother behind him.

Tang Xinyue picked up a few small stones from the ground, took a step forward, and stood side by side with Qi Yunfeng.

At this time, Mrs. Qi, the people from the second and third bedrooms were also pushed in.

They all looked frightened and didn't know what was happening.

Only the master of the second house, Qi Zhengning, dismissed his servants overnight due to Qi Yunfeng's notice last night, so he was somewhat mentally prepared.

Su Sheng held the imperial edict in his hand, his face no longer showing any respect as before, and said arrogantly, "The imperial edict has arrived, please accept it."

Mrs. Qi had received many imperial decrees, and each time she was either rewarded or promoted to an official position, so she was the first to kneel down.

Everyone did it one by one.

Although he was reluctant, Qi Yunfeng still knelt down to receive the imperial edict.

Tang Xinyue didn't want to kneel, and she couldn't openly show that she had broken the rules. She used her wide skirt to cover her legs and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Fortunately, there were so many people that no one would notice her like this.

"By God, the emperor issued an edict. After investigation, it was found that Duke Qi Yunfeng used his power for personal gain, colluded with foreign thieves, and attempted treason. The Duke's mansion confiscated his family property, and all his relatives were taken into the Tingwei Mansion to await their execution. I admire this!"

Although they already knew this, after hearing the imperial edict, the six sisters-in-law trembled with anger as if they had fallen into an ice hole.

Mrs. Mei steeled herself and led her family to stand up.

Mrs. Qi fainted immediately like a bolt from the blue.

How respectful Su Sheng was before when he came to Zhen Guogong's Mansion, now he was so arrogant. With a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Start searching, no place can be missed."

In less than a stick of incense, people responded one after another.

"Eunuch Su, the warehouse is empty."

"Eunuch Su, nothing valuable was found in the Qi family's big house."

"Eunuch Su, there are no servants in the first or second bedroom of the Qi family."

...

What's going on? Did they get the news beforehand?

impossible.

Su Sheng frowned, that shouldn't be the case.

He is the popular person beside the emperor, always at his side.

Although the emperor had long had the idea of moving the whole family, the imperial edict was only given to him secretly this morning.

He can guarantee that no news will be leaked in advance.

But the Qi family is empty. If you look at the Qi family members, most of them are wearing plain clothes, and many of the female relatives don't even have a headdress.

"You are so brave, how dare you transfer your property in advance." Su Sheng pretended to be intimidating.

Qi Yunfeng snorted coldly, "May I ask Eunuch Su, how long has it been since the emperor issued military pay?"

Su Sheng, who has matured with age, naturally understood the meaning of Qi Yunfeng's words, but he still scolded calmly on his face, "Is this different from transferring your property?"

"My Qi family's money has already been donated to the army." Qi Yunfeng said with a serious face, "Otherwise, do you think you can still stand here unharmed?"

Su Sheng, who knew it well, saw that Qi Yunfeng's words were reasonable and well-founded, so he didn't want to be in trouble anymore.

Fortunately, what the emperor wanted was not the Qi family's money, but the Qi family. As long as the person didn't run away, it would be easy for him to do business.

"Come here, put them into uniform clothes."

At his command, several fierce women appeared, pushing the sisters-in-law aside to change clothes.

"Eunuch Su, although the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion no longer exists, the Emperor has not punished us yet, so you are not afraid that the Duke will make a comeback?" Tang Xinyue supported Mei and asked Su Sheng.

Su Sheng's mouth twitched, "Bring everyone into the house to change."

"Yes." The mother-in-laws finally became much more honest.

When they put on shabby coarse linen clothes and came out again, Su Sheng looked disgusted and shouted in a high voice, "Everyone in the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion will be taken into the Tingwei Mansion immediately and imprisoned pending trial."

Soon, Qi Yunfeng wore shackles and chains, and the others held hemp ropes in their hands, and slowly walked out of the house under the escort of the officials.

When the whole family walked out of the door, the door was already surrounded by water.

"My lord, Dachu cannot live without you!"

"My lord, what would Da Chu do without you?"

...

The Mei family, who wanted to be strong all their lives, originally thought that the Qi family was defeated, and someone with ulterior motives would add insult to injury to them.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, I saw the concerned eyes of so many fellow villagers, and my eyes became moist for a while.

She steeled herself and said, "As a family, we appreciate your kindness. Please return it."

If the emperor is too angry, he may have to convict these people.

"None of you want to live. Come here, arrest them all." Su Sheng directed the officers and soldiers to step forward.

"Stop." Although Qi Yunfeng was defeated, his momentum was still there.

Those officers and soldiers already admired Qi Yunfeng very much, but now they didn't dare to see him angry.

"Fellow folks, I am no longer the Duke of the country, so please leave. It is not worthwhile for our Qi family to be implicated. We still have relatives waiting for you at home." Qi Yunfeng said to everyone while cupping his hands.

"What are you doing?" Seeing that the officials were still around, Su Sheng said angrily, "Why don't you go quickly and catch those unruly people?"

Whether they were moved by Qi Yunfeng's words or frightened by Su Sheng, everyone dispersed in panic.

Chapter 5: You are the one I will hit

Tingwei Mansion, dungeon.

There was a stench in the air in a large cell, and the lack of sunlight all day long made the dungeon extremely gloomy.

Everyone in the Qi family, except Qi Yunfeng, was imprisoned here.

Just when they were worried about Qi Yunfeng, a sharp voice sounded.

"Tang Xinyue, you are such a harmful person. The Qi family was ransacked as soon as you entered the house. You must have framed me, otherwise how could things be such a coincidence? You are the sinner of the Qi family."

Faced with the groundless accusation, Tang Xinyue followed the sound and saw a young woman glaring at her angrily.

"Mo Ruoshan, what are you yelling about?" The hot-tempered third sister-in-law defended, "If you were the one marrying the seventh brother, I'm afraid you wouldn't say that."

Oh... Tang Xinyue finally understood, this is her love rival!

Sixth Sister-in-law stepped forward and reminded her in a low voice, "She is the granddaughter of the Qi family. She always dreams of marrying the seventh brother."

"I see, no wonder she looked at me strangely." Tang Xinyue suddenly realized.

"She's just a person who can't carry it clearly, so ignore her." Sister-in-law Six said disdainfully.

Noila Mo's thoughts were revealed by her third sister-in-law. Although she was a little embarrassed, she quickly calmed down and said, "What I said is the truth."

She is the granddaughter of Mrs. Qi. Her parents died in an accident when she was one year old.

Mrs. Qi took pity on her for becoming an orphan, so she brought her to live with her in the Qi Mansion, giving her the same treatment as her own lady.

She is one year younger than Qi Yunfeng, and the two grew up as childhood sweethearts.

As she grew older, she fell in love with this handsome and suave seventh cousin.

Just when she thought that she would marry Qi Yunfeng, she didn't expect that Tang Xinyue's appearance shattered her dream.

Marrying Qi Yunfeng has been her obsession since childhood. Therefore, she could only endure it and wait for the opportunity.

And this time the Qi family was ransacked, in her opinion, it was an excellent opportunity to attack Tang Xinyue.

When Mrs. Mei and her six sisters-in-law heard this, they naturally didn't believe it. To them, this is pure jealousy.

Although Mrs. Qi didn't believe what she said, she still defended her, "Shanshan, don't be scared. Come over to grandma."

From the day she brought Noila Mo into the house, she thought that one day her granddaughter would become her granddaughter-in-law and they could kiss her.

However, God does not follow people's wishes, and it is difficult to violate the holy will.

"Grandma, she is really a broom star..."

Before Noila Mo finished her sentence, she was interrupted by Mrs. Mei, "Shanshan, don't talk nonsense."

"Auntie, I didn't, this is what really happened!"

Mrs. Qi was a little angry when she saw that Noila Mo was disobedient and insisted on this matter.

However, Noila Mo didn't notice Mrs. Qi's expression and only stared at Tang Xinyue, "It must be you, the disaster star and the broom star."

"Hmph, you slandered me, do you have any evidence?" Tang Xinyue sneered and asked.

"Disaster..." As soon as Noila Mo said these two words, she was frightened by an angry shout.

"That's enough, Shanshan, shut up." Mrs. Qi finally lost her temper.

Seeing her grandmother like this, Noila Mo didn't dare to say anything.

In the Qi family, she relied entirely on her grandmother and could not lose her grandmother's love for her. She immediately walked to the side and sat down aggrievedly.

In the past, Mrs. Qi hated seeing her granddaughter like this the most, and she had long coaxed her up heartily.

But now, she really couldn't bring herself to make fun of others, so she turned her head away, out of sight and out of mind.

However, Noila Mo stopped, and the third wife's wife, He, jumped out again.

"If I had known that the Zhenguo Palace would be defeated at the hands of the chief, we should have allowed our master to inherit the title."

As soon as He opened his mouth, everyone in the third room also agreed.

"That is, let the title that has been inherited for four generations be destroyed in their hands."

"That is, if they hadn't done something wrong, how could we be in jail?"

After hearing Sanfang's accusation, Mei opened her mouth to say something, but she heard Tang Xinyue's cold words.

"If the third house feels that he is being implicated by the big house, he should draw a clear line with the big house as soon as possible. Maybe it's still too late."

The third sister-in-law was also furious and said hurriedly, "That is, how much blessings we enjoyed with the first family in the past, and how much suffering we suffer now, the third family should make a decision early, so as not to blame us again in the future."

"that is......"

"You can leave the Qi family before the emperor has convicted you."

...

Several sisters-in-law also agreed. They had long been dissatisfied with the third wife who only wanted to get benefits and was unwilling to contribute.

In particular, the old lady prefers the third house, relies on her elders and sells her elders, and suppresses the big ones. I don't know how much she has suffered for Mei.

"It's a joke." He glared, "It's not your juniors' turn to make irresponsible remarks."

"We are doing this for Aunt Three's own good," Tang Xinyue said.

"Shanshan is right." He crossed her waist and pointed her hand, "You are indeed a disaster star. The family broke up the day after you entered the house."

"They say I am a disaster star. Are you not afraid that I will be implicated in the future?" Tang Xinyue smiled instead of getting angry, "I am doing this for the third family's good."

I thought that the new daughter-in-law would be shy when she entered the house, and her elders would be defeated and run away with just a curse. However, he didn't care about her but was not afraid at all. He was a little unprepared.

"The calamity and broom star caused us to be exiled and our homes confiscated, yet we still have the nerve to talk nonsense here."

When Noila Mo heard that her third aunt took her words into consideration and used them to scold Tang Xinyue, she immediately became elated and adjusted her sitting posture to watch them quarrel.

"It turns out that Third Aunt is brainless and listens to the villain's slander." Tang Xinyue glanced at Noila Mo coldly.

What? Noila Mo was anxious, stood up suddenly, and was about to speak, but was suddenly pulled over by Mrs. Qi.

"You..." He was furious, "Let me tear your mouth apart."

After saying that, take two steps forward to take action.

Unexpectedly, her hand was tightly grabbed by Tang Xinyue, unable to move.

"Let me go." He panicked. She couldn't escape no matter how hard she tried.

Boom...

Tang Xinyue finally let go, and He sat down on the ground.

"Ouch...it hurts me so much, you scourge and broom star..."

Snap...

A loud slap sounded, and He covered her face and looked at Tang Xinyue in disbelief.

"You actually hit an elder?"

"You are the one who is being beaten." Tang Xinyue said harshly, "The first one said that I am a broom star and a disaster star, maybe unintentionally, but the second one said that because he has a heart that can be punished."

Of course, the first reason why she said this was to save face for the old lady.

Second, it is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. If anyone dares to say this in the future, don't blame her for being rude, especially Noila Mo.

"You..." He was so unjust that he couldn't say a word.

"Okay, everyone, please calm down." Mrs. Qi spoke.

When Tang Xinyue returned to the big room, Mrs. Mei and her six sisters-in-law were all overjoyed.

Having such a brave daughter-in-law made Mrs. Mei toughen up a lot.

Over the years, Tang Xinyue had been angry with the old lady and Mr. He a lot, and Tang Xinyue's slap seemed to have dispersed all her years of resentment.

The six sisters-in-law all admired her way of doing things and kept talking to her.

Chapter 6: Broken Relationship

On the other side of the third room, Qi Zhengyuan's four concubines and concubines and concubines were so happy to see Mr. He so miserable.

On weekdays, Mrs. He took advantage of her position as the head of the family and lorded it over them, beating and scolding them. Finally, she received her retribution.

Different from He's hateful eyes, the more they looked at Tang Xinyue, the more they liked her.

At noon, two jailers carried a basket of black steamed buns and delivered lunch to each cell.

The prisoner in the cell in front stretched out his hands like crazy and shouted.

"What are you shouting for? If you shout again, it won't stop you." The jailer scolded.

As soon as the prisoners got the food, they eagerly devoured it. Some who move slowly will have their black buns snatched away.

Their brutality and madness were in sharp contrast to the restraint of the Qi family.

They, who usually eat spicy food and drink spicy food, have never eaten such sticky black-faced steamed buns. Even the food eaten by the servants is many times better than this.

Seeing that none of them wanted to eat, the official said sarcastically, "You can't eat, okay, just give me some money and I'll send someone to prepare a table for you right away."

Qi Sanye went to get the banknote as a habit, but when he touched it, there was nothing.

Only then did he remember that he had even changed his clothes during the raid.

"Hmph, be honest even if you don't have money." The jailer looked at Mr. Qi with disdain and said dissatisfied.

Noila Mo held the black bun in her hand, looked at Mrs. Qi, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, but she couldn't.

Grandma was angry with her just now, but she is still angry now.

Seeing that no one in the Qi family was eating black steamed buns, the jailer sneered and left.

Bah, if you don't eat, you will starve to death.

At night, the cell door opened.

When a eunuch directed the jailers to carry Qi Yunfeng back on a stretcher, He could not help but feel proud in his eyes.

After seeing Tang Xinyue's power, she had been honest for a while, but now she was a little ready to make a move.

Under the dim light, nothing strange could be seen on Qi Yunfeng's body, but his face was pale and his facial features were a little distorted, as if he was suffering from great pain.

"Feng'er..."

"Seventh brother..."

How could a perfectly fine person be carried back? Mei's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

The six sisters-in-law all covered their faces and mouths and cried, fearing to make Qi Yunfeng even more uncomfortable.

Tang Xinyue stepped forward and looked into Qi Yunfeng's eyes. Even though she had no feelings for him, she still felt a trace of compassion.

He was a man of unparalleled beauty, but due to the distortion of his facial features, he seemed unrecognizable.

Only those eyes that were as deep as black pools, although they concealed pain, revealed more of rebelliousness.

She held his thick hand with both hands and silently transmitted spatial powers to him.

Although Qi Yunfeng's pain was unbearable, Tang Xinyue held his hand and for a moment, he felt a warm current flowing down his fingers into the seven meridians and eight meridians, and the pain was relieved a little.

He wanted to give her a look of thanks, but before he could meet her eyes, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Noila Mo walked to Qi Yunfeng and saw that such a high-spirited person had become like this. She couldn't help but blame her again, "Tang Xinyue, look, is the Qi family suffering repeatedly because of you?"

"If you are afraid, you can leave the Qi family. You are not the Qi family." Tang Xinyue looked directly at her and said unhurriedly.

One sentence hit Noila Mo's weak point, and she burst into tears.

Why are you crying? Whether they were fake or real, these tears were worthless.

"Mom, Shanshan is a daughter with a foreign surname, and is not considered a female member of the Qi family. We can go out and find someone to give us some silver, or ask someone to help us get rid of the crime."

After hearing what Tang Xinyue said, He took it into consideration and followed her words.

"Third Aunt, forget the slap you just received, and deal with me with her." Noila Mo stopped crying immediately, raised her head, and said pitifully.

He suddenly lost his face and said angrily, "What do you know? Why bother with us and suffer?"

Noila Mo stamped her feet, ran to Mrs. Qi, and cried, "Grandma, I won't leave, I will always stay with you."

Mrs. Qi touched her head lovingly, and said persuadingly, "Shanshan, the Qi family is in trouble. Only if you get out can you survive."

"No, I don't want it. I just want to be with my grandmother and not go anywhere." Noila Mo shook her head like a rattle.

Mrs. Qi sighed and said nothing more.

Seeing that her grandmother didn't force herself any more, Noila Mo finally felt relieved. She raised her head and looked at Tang Xinyue bitterly.

It's all this disaster star's fault. If it hadn't been for her, this wouldn't have happened.

Tang Xinyue saw that she still looked like she didn't know whether to live or die, so she said, "I want to stay in the Qi family. From now on, I will talk less and do more." She kept her tail between her legs.

Noila Mo was about to fight back, but she was afraid of setting off a fire, so she finally lowered her head and leaned on Mrs. Qi's legs.

She has been looking forward to the day when she grows up and marries Qi Yunfeng since she was a child. Although she knew that, Qi Yunfeng had always had no intention of her. But the more looked down upon, the more she wanted to prove herself.

Even if she is to be a concubine, she must marry him.

This became a lingering obsession in Noila Mo's heart.

Even if Qi Yunfeng becomes like this now, she still cannot shake her deep-rooted thoughts.

Seeing Tang Xinyue always holding Qi Yunfeng's hand, she felt extremely jealous.

She couldn't stay far away from him anymore, otherwise she would have no chance at all.

Qi Zhengyuan had no fun to watch. He suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten all day, and his stomach growled with hunger.

He was greedy for life and afraid of death. Looking at Qi Yunfeng lying on the stretcher covered in blood, a thought quietly came to his mind.

He gritted his teeth and said immediately, "Mom, I want to break off the relationship with Qi Yunfeng and let the first family separate from the Qi family."

Listening to these bastard words and looking at this little son who was usually spoiled by her and did nothing, Mrs. Qi was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"It's a joke." No matter how patient she was, Mrs. Mei got angry, "Feng'er is the Duke of the country. If we want to break off the relationship, you must break away from the Qi family."

"Not now." Qi Zhengyuan said contemptuously.

"That's also the head of the family." Tang Xinyue responded with contempt.

"Isn't it your turn to speak?" Qi Zhengyuan looked down upon her when she saw that the person who replied was her niece who had just walked in.

"As the legitimate wife of the head of the family, why can't it be my turn to speak?" Tang Xinyue stared at Qi Zhengyuan with sharp eyes.

Under her strong aura, Qi Zhengyuan actually felt guilty and said forcefully, "Can you make the decision to break off the engagement?"

"Of course I can. If you dare to write, I will accept it." Tang Xinyue sneered.

"Okay." Qi Zhengyuan originally wanted to wait until Qi Yunfeng woke up before making plans, but he was afraid that there would be many dreams during the long night and someone would rush to take responsibility, so he took the risk.

"Son, don't be confused." Mrs. Qi wanted the whole family to be together, so she said heartbreakingly, "What do you mean by breaking up the relationship!"

Chapter 7 Finally got something serious done

"Mom, now that the Qi family is like this, our third bedroom will be cut off from the Qi family." Qi Zhengyuan felt a stick in his neck and felt that he was right.

If a person does not protect himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. There are so many people in the third house, and they cannot follow the first house to die.

"Mom, are you with us or with the big house?" Qi Zhengyuan asked hypocritically.

Over the years, Mrs. Qi has been following Sanfang, which has given Sanfang a lot of benefits.

Nowadays, things are different from the past. Naturally, one's worth is different. Following them is a burden.

"Son, I'll just follow Dafang." Mrs. Qi's heart changed and she had her own plan.

It would be good to let the third house escape. First, if the first house really wants to be convicted, it would be best if they could not be implicated.

Secondly, if they were separated and were in trouble, she could stay in the main room and take care of them.

Everyone in the big house knew what Mrs. Qi was thinking.

However, the elderly can be partial, but they cannot be without conscience.

"Shanshan, just follow your third uncle's family." Mrs. Qi glanced at Noila Mo meaningfully.

"No, grandma, I want to follow you and take good care of you." Noila Mo took Mrs. Qi's hand and said coquettishly.

Only by following the old lady can she get closer to Qi Yunfeng, so that she can have a chance.

Even if Tang Xinyue cannot be driven away, she will become Qi Yunfeng's equal wife.

No, even a concubine will do.

As long as she becomes his person, she is not afraid that she will not be able to become his legitimate wife in the future.

"The big room has me as a disaster star and a broom star, and there is no room for a giant Buddha like you. I think it's better for you to go to the third room." Tang Xinyue no longer cared about the old lady's face and directly issued an eviction order.

Mrs. Qi was in a dilemma for a moment. She didn't know whether to persuade her granddaughter or granddaughter-in-law.

At this moment, Noila Mo lowered her head and admitted her mistake, "Sister-in-law Seven, I was wrong. Please forgive me. My grandmother is frail, and I just want to take more care of her."

Noila Mo knew that Tang Xinyue wanted to drive her away, but she was unwilling to do so.

Why?

Why can't everyone see her sincerity for more than ten years and treat it as a joke?

She wanted to prove to everyone that she, Noila Mo, was the most suitable person for Qi Yunfeng.

Don't look at Tang Xinyue's behavior now, maybe she will run away one day?

"Shanshan..." Mrs. Qi hugged Noila Mo and almost cried.

Among the grandchildren, the most filial one is this granddaughter!

Seeing her using such methods, Tang Xinyue snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Anyway, as long as he doesn't offend her, she is happy for him to get close to Qi Yunfeng.

"You've finished talking, it's time for us to write the divorce letter." He said impatiently.

She has long been dissatisfied with the fact that the person in the big house is the master of the entire Qi family, and even the power of running the family has always been in the hands of the Mei family.

Not only did she kill her own man, but she also killed six of her sons. It was really unlucky for a woman to be in charge of the family.

It's good now, but we need another disaster star, a broom star, and this time, the whole family is sent to the cell again. What will happen in two days?

"You haven't written it yet?" Tang Xinyue said coldly.

It would be better for these people to separate as soon as possible.

"Second uncle, where are you?" Tang Xinyue looked at Qi Zhengning.

"We don't differentiate." Qi Zhengning said without hesitation.

He is a concubine, and the old lady doesn't treat him well.

Fortunately, I was protected by my eldest brother in the past, and later by my nephew. If not for this, I don't know how difficult it would have been.

If the third bedroom needs to be separated, that is their business.

"Hmph, we don't want a bastard to follow us." He curled his lips and said sarcastically.

Killing people and killing people is nothing more than that.

Sure enough, when the people in the second room heard this, they all became extremely uncomfortable.

Mr. Qi patted his wife Gao on the back to express comfort.

He has seen this kind of thing a lot since he was a child and has long been used to it.

But Gao was born as a noble girl in the capital and could have married the prince's legitimate son. However, after meeting Qi Zhengning at a banquet, she secretly promised to marry him only.

Qi Zhengning was naturally happy to have a noble girl of Gao's status as his wife.

But it stung the old lady's heart. Why could a concubine have such a good marriage, so she always used such words to make things difficult for her second wife?

The Gao family's son and daughter were both aggrieved and angry. But when faced with the harsh words of their elders, they could only pretend not to hear them.

"What about the concubine? He is nobler than you." Tang Xinyue rolled her eyes at He.

This simple sentence made Qi Zhengning's eyes immediately turn red.

Mr. Gao and his children even looked at Tang Xinyue with gratitude.

"You..." Mr. He was too angry to say anything, and quickly changed the subject, "Master, quickly find an official to write a divorce letter."

Before they could open their mouths to call for official duties, there was movement from the entrance of the cell.

The patrolling jailer arrived.

"Master, I want to write a letter of divorce. Please bring me some paper and pen." Qi Zhengyuan, an official envoy, came over and said anxiously.

The jailer snorted coldly and looked at Qi Zhengyuan's empty hands. He didn't understand the rules at all. He waved his hands as he walked, "Don't think about it if you don't have money. You don't have to pay for your own blood. You can use it as you like."

This sentence reminded Qi Zhengyuan, and he was not annoyed. He immediately tore off a piece of cloth from his left sleeve, gritted his teeth cruelly, and quickly wrote a blood separation letter with the bright red blood.

"Master, help me give this to the superior." Mr. Qi called to the jailer who was walking to the exit.

Seeing that the jailer didn't want to talk to him, Mrs. He hurriedly said, "I have a silver pendant here."

This silver pendant was made by those officials who pulled He's headdress and dropped it on the ground when they came to ransack her home. She secretly picked it up and hid it in her hair.

Seeing that there was a profit to be made, the jailer came back to get the divorce letter.

"Sir, I must give it to the superior!" Qi Zhengyuan didn't know who was at the Ziyi family, but he was right when he said it.

He hoped that when the superiors saw this divorce letter, they would not be punished by their third wife.

"One portion is still missing." Tang Xinyue reminded kindly.

That share was given to the official, so the Qi family must keep a share anyway.

"Okay." Qi Zhengyuan gritted his teeth, wrote another copy, and asked a concubine to send it over.

Tang Xinyue took the divorce letter, shook it, nodded and said, "Not bad, we finally did something serious."

When Qi Zhengyuan heard this, he almost vomited blood.

What are these words?

However, the goal had been achieved, and he didn't bother to waste any more words.

Then, he directed the third bedroom and his family to keep a certain distance from the first and second bedrooms.

There are more people in the third-bedroom apartment than in the first- and second-bedroom apartments combined.

He thought that without Qi Yunfeng, their family could still live a prosperous life.

"Now that we have written the divorce letter, your surnames cannot be the same in the future." Mei said indifferently.

"You think I'm careless." Qi Zhengyuan waved his hand, "From now on, my surname will be Zhang."

"Okay, remember how heroic you were today." Tang Xinyue was very satisfied with the other party's straightforwardness.

The old lady became anxious and said hurriedly, "Changing your surname is a big deal. Let's take it easy for now. We have to ask the government to come forward before it can be settled."

Chapter 8 Pearl Farewell

Soon, the cell door opened again, and several guards came in.

"Qi Zhengyuan, come out." The jailer opened the cell.

When Qi Zhengyuan heard that he was called, he was delighted and hurriedly followed the jailer out.

"Fortunately, we wrote the divorce letter as early as possible and will be released soon. Just wait..."

Before He could finish his sentence, he screamed loudly.

Something hit her in the mouth, and when she touched it, there was blood on her hands.

"Who?" He was furious, "Who, come out."

"Even God can't bear to see this. He's out to deal with evildoers." Tang Xinyue responded with a cold look.

She just threw a small stone as a small punishment.

Seeing that it was Tang Xinyue who had just beaten her again, He said angrily, "A new little daughter-in-law, you are disrespectful to your elders over and over again? See if I don't..."

"Hey, I just wrote a divorce letter. Who do you consider to be an elder?" Tang Xinyue snorted, "Why don't you write another one, so as not to waste your blood."

"You little bitch, you still..." He was about to curse, but received a heavy slap on the face.

She was stunned. When she looked again, Tang Xinyue was standing condescendingly in front of her.

The speed was so fast that no one could see clearly how she passed by?

"You hit me again?" Mr. He stood up and was about to tear it apart, but missed it and fell to the ground.

"Mother..." He cried sadly and asked for help.

But the old lady was angry with her, "You still have the nerve to cry?"

Hearing this, Mrs. He burst into tears again.

The concubines of the third room and the concubines and concubines felt very happy when they saw He Shi suffered a lot, and they all looked at Tang Xinyue with starry eyes.

Also, when she spoke for Mr. Qi just now, she also showed respect for these concubine people in a different way.

It's a pity that their third brother-in-law has broken up with the eldest brother-in-law.

An hour later, the cell door opened, and a eunuch walked in surrounded by a group of people.

The jailer stepped forward and opened the cell door where the Qi family was imprisoned.

"Father-in-law, I leave my affairs to you." Qi Zhengyuan walked out of the crowd and returned to the cell.

At this time, the eunuch opened the imperial edict in his hand.

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed.

The entire Qi family was demoted to common people and exiled to live in the northwest three thousand miles away. Their descendants were not allowed to take the imperial examination or join the army.

Seeing that the eunuch was about to turn around and leave, Qi Zhengyuan hurriedly asked, "Father-in-law, where am I?"

The eunuch glanced sideways and said sharply, "What's wrong with you?"

"I have severed ties with the Qi family and written a divorce letter." Qi Zhengyuan panicked and gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, I won't be exiled."

"Go and do what you have to do." The eunuch snorted coldly and walked away.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhang sat on the ground dejectedly, his eyes darkened, and he fainted.

"father......"

"master......"

Suddenly there was chaos.

"I wrote a divorce letter and thought I could escape. How naive!" Tang Xinyue laughed in anger.

"It's just, it's so stupid."

"Cleverness leads to mistakes."

...

Mrs. Qi couldn't help herself when she heard the ridicule from her grandsons-in-law, so she could only keep a dark face.

It's all her fault. She didn't stop her and immediately said, "Ms. Mei, look, this divorce letter probably won't count."

"Mom, the divorce papers for the third wife haven't been written yet." Mrs. Mei's tone was filled with dissatisfaction.

"The divorce letter has been written, it's not up to them. Anyway, the Qi family will only have the first and second bedrooms in the future." Tang Xinyue refused directly.

Chapter 8 Pearl Farewell

After Mrs. Qi glared at Qi Zhengyuan, she suppressed her temper and said, "You are not allowed to be with us along the way. When we get to the northwest, we will formally break off the relationship."

Turning around, she smiled apologetically at Mrs. Mei and said, "Look, is this okay?"

After all, Mrs. Mei is not a heartless person, and the old lady is so low-minded that she must look at the face of the Buddha instead of the monk.

Forget it, Mrs. Mei turned her head and said nothing.

Seeing that Mrs. Mei acquiesced, Tang Xinyue said nothing more.

After all, this is ultimately the Qi family's business.

She followed them all the way, and after arriving in the northwest, she might not stay there.

When the time comes, Qi Yunfeng and his tribe will make their own conclusions, and it is not her concern.

However, she remembered something and stared at Qi Zhengyuan, frowning slightly.

Those officials asked him to go out for so long. What did they say?

At midnight on the second day, the jailer opened the door of the cell where the Qi family was imprisoned and said, "Come out and go to the exile camp."

Tang Xinyue walked out first, followed closely by Qi Zhengning and his son Qi Heming carrying Qi Yunfeng.

Along the way, Tang Xinyue held Qi Yunfeng's hand tightly.

To outsiders, they appear to be a loving couple.

In fact, every other hour, Tang Xinyue would deliver supernatural powers to Qi Yunfeng.

Otherwise, he will be in unbearable pain after he wakes up after suffering this severe punishment.

As the officials escorted the Qi family to the exile camp, many ordinary people followed them and escorted them out of the city.

The female relatives of the Qi family all expected to see their parents' family, but they all walked out of the gate of the capital and still did not see a single acquaintance.

They originally had a glimmer of hope, but now they were completely disheartened.

Tang Xinyue was not as sad as they were. After all, she had come here in disguise. Moreover, the original owner was not popular in her parents' family. At this time, the Tang family had no time to hide, so how could they show up?

The group of people walked to the exile camp with different moods.

The officials who sent them here finished their explanations, looked at the whole family, and finally left with disgust on their faces.

The officer in charge of the escort shouted, "Everyone is here, ready to leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, a clear female voice came, "Master, wait a moment, please stay."

Following the sound, Tang Xinyue looked over and saw that it was a pearl.

She didn't leave, but followed her all the way here?

"Master, could you please help me?" Pearl quickly walked up to the leading official and handed him a large silver ingot.

The official was so happy that someone gave him money, and he said in a good mood, "I'll give you a stick of incense, please hurry up."

"Okay." Pearl responded and eagerly looked for the Qi family.

"Pearl, why are you here?" Tang Xinyue walked out of the crowd and asked with concern.

This girl is not afraid of being implicated. She is so affectionate and righteous. No wonder the original owner values her the most.

"Miss, woo woo..." As soon as Pearl saw Tang Xinyue, she couldn't help but cry before she spoke.

After leaving the Zhenguo Palace, she gave the bank notes and the deed of sale to the three sisters, letting them go their separate ways.

When she thought of the eldest lady's serious look yesterday, she was afraid that something serious would happen, so she squatted near the Duke's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, the Zhenguo Palace was ransacked.

If the eldest lady hadn't let them out in advance, I'm afraid they would have been sold like the servants of the third room.

"Okay, don't cry anymore." Tang Xinyue hugged Pearl and playfully joked, "I can't kill your lady."

Chapter 9: Treat this daughter-in-law well

This sentence made Pearl laugh. She wiped her tears and handed over a water bag and a baggage, "Miss, I have prepared some water and dry food for you here."

Then, she lowered her voice and said, "There are also five hundred taels of silver notes."

Five hundred taels of silver notes? Although Pearl got one thousand taels last night, after dividing it with the other three sisters, she only had 400 taels.

She must have used all her savings to subsidize the extra one hundred taels.

Seeing how loyal the little girl was, Tang Xinyue patted her back and took the bundle in her arms.

Then, he took out two thousand taels of silver notes from the space, folded them into small pieces, and stuffed them into her hand, "I told you something, take a look at it when you get back."

Pearl had no doubt about it, clenched her fists and nodded.

The two exchanged pleasantries again. Seeing that it was almost time, the officer urged, "It's about time."

"Okay, sir." Pearl responded and said while backing up, "Miss, I'll be waiting for you to come back in the capital!"

"Okay." Tang Xinyue responded with a smile, looking at this girl who was so cautious in front of officials for fear of harming herself.

Knowing that she is in the capital, it will be easier to find her in the future.

It doesn't matter what she gave to him, what's rare is this intention.

Also, this baggage is definitely useful. It is temporarily a prop for her to get food and silver from the space.

"Let's go." The official shouted and took the lead to move forward.

The Qi family did not hesitate and were the first to follow.

Qi Yunfeng, who was injured all over his body, was weak and weak. He was still sleeping peacefully under the comfort of his supernatural powers. Qi Zhengning and Qi Heming were still carrying him.

A group of people squatting or sitting over there were reluctant to stand up quickly.

They all took a deep look in the direction of the capital, then sighed and followed.

At this time, Tang Xinyue noticed one thing, that is, these people were from three families, and each family had many children, unlike theirs, who had no children at all.

Why......

Even Qi Zhengyuan, who was assigned, doesn't have several grandchildren?

Is it because the Qi family's big house has a bad heir relationship, or is there another reason?

After suppressing this question, Tang Xinyue lowered her head and walked among the crowd.

As noon approached, her legs could no longer walk. After all, the original owner's body was too weak and he had no physical strength at all.

After only traveling all morning, she was already so tired that she didn't want to walk anymore.

Although this season is not midsummer, it is already a bit hot.

At this time, her mouth was dry and she felt like she had no strength at all.

Fortunately, when she approached a forest, the official called for a break, and she was able to breathe.

As soon as she sat down, Tang Xinyue picked up the water bag given by Pearl and filled it with pure water from the space.

He opened the bag again and took out the sesame cakes and steamed buns inside. With the help of the baggage, she took the salted duck from the space.

She took this from the kitchen and put it in the space to keep it warm and fresh. When I took it out, it was still warm, so I had to let it cool down before eating it.

In fact, there are many good things from the kitchen in the space, but this is not the time to show off.

She beckoned the family into a circle and distributed food and water to them one by one.

Pearl was very considerate and bought her enough food for one person for three days, but she couldn't handle the crowd at the moment.

With the salted duck in sauce, this meal is enough for everyone.

At this time, the officials who had eaten their fill shouted loudly, "It's time for lunch. The black-faced steamed buns are free, one for each person. The white-faced steamed buns cost twenty cents each."

White flour steamed buns that usually cost at most one penny a piece, but here they cost 20 pence?

Tang Xinyue was almost laughed out of anger. These officials clearly marked their prices, and they were no different from bandits.

Since the Qi family had something to eat, they all received black-faced steamed buns.

The other four families had some money on hand, and each of them used it to buy white-flour steamed buns.

One bite of that black-faced steamed bun can knock out a tooth. How can these spoiled rich ladies endure such suffering?

Even though Mrs. Mei, who has been strong all her life, looked at the black-faced steamed buns that were like stones in her hands, a tear overflowed from the corner of her eyes.

If it weren't for this wife, they would probably have to eat the black-faced steamed buns.

She thought this salted duck was a hundred times more delicious than what she had eaten before.

And this water, although it can't compare with the warm tea at home, it has a sweet taste and quenches thirst, which is even more rare than eating like this.

Wiping the corners of her eyes, Mrs. Mei glanced at Tang Xinyue who had gone back to sit down, and secretly made up her mind: She must treat her daughter-in-law well in the future.

In the past, she would have felt that this daughter-in-law was too aggressive and unruly.

But during this period of exile when everyone was in danger, the arrogance and domineering attitude of her daughter-in-law seemed to be a sharp sword that could cut away the fear and confusion in her heart.

Therefore, even though sometimes she felt that what Tang Xinyue did was not necessarily in line with etiquette, she did not stop her.

Their lives are now in jeopardy, and they need this fearless and powerful force to support them.

Similar to Mei, Qi Yunfeng, who woke up, absolutely stood by Tang Xinyue's side after learning everything.

"That girl gave this to you. If you share it with us, aren't you letting her down? Keep some for yourself." He felt sorry for her and shared all the food with everyone.

"Okay." Touching Qi Yunfeng's clear eyes, Tang Xinyue's heart moved.

The young hero who fought bravely on the battlefield, even though he was injured like this, still took great care of those around him.

After he finished eating, she held his hand and transferred the power to let him fall asleep.

In order to comfort her, Qi Yunfeng struggled to speak just now, and his whole body was shaking with pain. Only when he fell asleep would he not feel so painful.

Noila Mo looked at Qi Yunfeng who had woken up. She only had Tang Xinyue in her eyes. She didn't even look at her and immediately looked unhappy.

Seeing them holding hands on the ground again, they became even more angry.

Seeing her like this, the third sister-in-law said sarcastically, "With such a face, do you think the food is not to your taste? Come on, give it to me, so as not to spoil you."

"Sister-in-law is joking, these are delicious." Noila Mo was careless that she didn't control her expression well.

Qi Zhengyuan's family sitting not far away suddenly felt unbalanced when they saw that they were eating with gusto.

Why should I go into exile with them? Qi's family has food, but they don't.

"Mom, I really can't eat this white-flour bun." He's daughter Qi Lan complained.

Before He could answer his daughter's words, Qi Zhengyuan spoke, "Lan'er, this is just the beginning of exile. It will be even more painful in the future."

The black-faced steamed buns are even more difficult to chew, one bite can break a tooth.

Back then, when Qi Zhengyuan married He, the old lady did not agree.

How could the He family, a small family, be worthy of being the legitimate son of the Duke of Zhenguo?

However, he liked it, and even if He could not give birth to a son, he would not divorce her.

He can marry a few concubines at most, and let the concubines give birth to sons, who will then be raised by the He family.

But He didn't want to raise a bastard, so he didn't say anything more.

Chapter 10 I want to follow you

"Mom, Noila Mo is eating good food with her grandmother." Qi Lan said aggrievedly.

Ever since she was a child, her grandmother had been more partial to Noila Mo, which always made her feel unhappy.

Now, seeing Noila Mo following her grandmother to the big house to eat and drink hot food, she wanted to drive this woman away.

"Obviously Seventh Brother doesn't like her, but he still has wishful thinking." Qi Lan pulled He's sleeve, "Mom, you go to the official to buy some other delicious food."

He knocked on Qi Lan's forehead, "These white-flour steamed buns cost twenty cents each, so you don't need to think about the rest."

"Mom, I could smell the aroma of meat just now." Qi Lan sniffed, "It came from my grandmother."

Her nose has always been the smartest, so He naturally believed it.

Seeing that her daughter was very greedy, Mr. He said to Qi Zhengyuan, "Go to mother and ask."

Qi Zhengyuan shook his head, "You can go ahead and I won't throw this person away."

The family has been divided, so what are you going to do in a hurry?

"I'll go by myself." Qi Lan was unwilling to get up and ran over there.

When she came to the Qi family, she first called her grandmother, and then everyone in the Qi family, except Noila Mo.

"What are you doing here?" Seeing that she was losing face, Noila Mo immediately turned cold.

"What? You, an outsider, can sit here, but I can't come?" Qi Lan asked.

"We've already broken off the relationship, but you still have the nerve to come here." Noila Mo said contemptuously.

"Humph, aunt and sisters-in-law didn't say anything. Do you have the right to speak?" Qi Lansihao refused.

Mei Shi smiled, patted the seat next to her, and asked Qi Lan to come and sit.

In the past, when she was in the capital, although she didn't like the third bedroom, she still looked at Qi Lan in a different light.

This child is different from her parents in that she has a certain intelligence.

She never interferes in matters between adults.

When we met, we still called each other "aunt", without any pretense.

Seeing how her mother treated the child, Tang Xinyue quickly got her water and the same portion of food.

"Ah, there are so many delicious foods, it's great, thank you Auntie and Sister-in-law Seven!"

After saying that, she said to Qi Mengzhi, the daughter-in-law of the second wife, "Sister, have you finished eating? Don't expect me to share it with you after you finish eating."

Qi Mengzhi smiled lightly, "Eat quickly, don't choke."

Speaking of which, Qi Mengzhi, Qi Lan, and Mo Ruoshan are all children of the same year, just in different months.

Qi Mengzhi is the eldest, Qi Lan is in the middle, and Mo Ruoshan is the youngest. They will all reach hair age next year.

However, since childhood, relying on her grandmother's love, Noila Mo had never called her two sisters, and she didn't like to play with them.

"Auntie, I want to follow you." After eating, Qi Lan pulled Mei to act coquettishly.

This... Mei looked at Tang Xinyue with some embarrassment.

Her son was seriously injured and always fell asleep. She already regarded her youngest daughter-in-law as her backbone.

Besides, everything they eat belongs to this wife, so it's better for her to make the decision.

Following Mei's gaze, Qi Lan understood instantly. He looked at Tang Xinyue with anxious eyes, covered his hands with his hands, shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law Qi, you see I am young and cute, I can add a lot of laughter to you." Woolen cloth."

"Tch." A disdainful sigh came.

Qi Lan knew that the sound was from Noila Mo without looking.

But now she had no time to pay attention, she just pretended not to hear and looked at Tang Xinyue and blinked.

"Go back and ask your parents. If they agree, you won't be alone." Tang Xinyue said generously.

When she first met this little girl, she was very interesting, and she liked her just looking at her;

Secondly, it is true that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Although she didn't regard Noila Mo as a serious enemy, she didn't mind causing some trouble for her.

"Ah...Sister-in-law Seven is the best. I'll tell you right away." Qi Lan stood up and ran away.

After a while, she ran back in a hurry and said, "Sister-in-law Qi, my parents agreed."

After saying that, she ran to Qi Mengzhi and sat down, "Sister, if I mess with you from now on, you have to protect me."

Haha... everyone in the group was amused.

At this time, Tang Xinyue keenly discovered that there was a gaze that had been paying attention to them.

Pretending to be inadvertent, she turned her head and looked at He.

Like all mothers in the world, He looked at her daughter with worry.

Although from her perspective, her daughter had entered enemy territory.

But as long as her daughter is happy, she has no choice but to agree.

Why......

After resting for a while, the officials set off with a loud voice.

There is a prescribed number of miles to be completed every day, and they dare not be careless.

Once on the road, Tang Xinyue sent another special power to Qi Yunfeng, so that he would not wake up in the middle of the journey and be jolted into unbearable pain.

As long as he wakes up at night and has dinner.

The group of people drove quickly and slowly, and in the evening, the officer found an open space with a windshield and stopped.

After they were full, they started selling white flour steamed buns again.

The four families still spent money to buy it, but the Qi family did not pay.

Seeing the Qi family eating black-faced steamed buns again, some of the four families began to gloat.

"Look, the Qi family is really stingy, and they even eat black-faced steamed buns."

"My teeth are knocked out, but I can still eat."

...

They feel that there are people who are worse off than themselves, even if it is a tasteless white flour steamed bun, they can feel a sense of superiority.

Tang Xinyue led her entire family to station at the edge in order to avoid attention with ulterior motives.

But from the perspective of those four families, they hid because they had no money to eat black-faced steamed buns and had no shame.

When she just stopped, she discovered that there was a river less than ten meters away in front of her.

She immediately told the patrolling officer, "Officer, there is a river ahead. I want to get some water."

After saying that, he didn't forget to give him some broken silver.

Weighing the amount of money in his hand, the official was probably very satisfied and said, "Go and come back quickly."

In Dachu, as long as they are exiled, most prisoners dare not escape.

First, after escaping and being caught, he would have his face tattooed and unable to lift it up for the rest of his life;

Secondly, it will bring greater trouble to the family.

Prisoners who are exiled to their destination can register locally and become civilians.

Apart from the unfamiliarity of the place and having to start from scratch, it's not much better than running away.

Therefore, escort officers also know how to make appropriate arrangements.

"Sister-in-law Qi, my sister and I will go with you." Qi Lan pulled Qi Mengzhi over.

"That's fine. Wait, I'll get a branch."

The three of them came to the river. Tang Xinyue took out the water bag and pretended to get water. In fact, she just washed the water bag and then filled it with water from the space.

Then, she took out thirty or forty carps from the space, put them into the water, and then poked them up with branches.

The two sisters, who were playing in the water nearby, were surprised to find fish swimming.

Then she saw Sister-in-law Qi piercing the fish with a branch, and she immediately danced with joy.

But they didn't dare to shout for fear of scaring away the fish.
