Chapter 2 Exile
Duan Jingyun glared at Qin Ran resentfully.
"..."
Back then in the hall, she was the one who accused the Marquis of collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country.
Thinking back to those words now, every word feels like a steel knife stabbing her heart. And yet she said this at this moment. It seemed that she had been abandoned by Xiao Wenbin and had given up hope.
Even the other people in the mansion thought so, even though they felt that what Qin Ran had just said was quite satisfying.
But he didn't look at her with a friendly look at this moment, and he still hated her in his heart. If it weren't for her, how could the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion suffer such a disaster, and they would not be exiled.
When Qin Ran turned around, she met Duan Jingyun's eyes, which looked as if he wanted to kill her. The corner of her mouth twitched immediately.
"..."
Emma! That's scary!
It felt like he could rush over and kill her at any time. No wonder, she was betrayed by the person she loved to the core, and he brought disaster to the entire mansion.
It would be strange if I didn't hate him. I'd better not look at him, lest I make him angry. If he really rushes over, I'll be in trouble.
She is just a porcelain doll now. She can't stand any more trouble. She can't be provoked. Really can't be provoked.
Seeing that the people's emotions were becoming more and more agitated and about to reach the point where they were out of control, Xiao Wenbin could no longer pretend and looked at everyone present with a sullen face.
"An Jing, there is solid evidence that the Zhenguo Marquisate is collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country. Madam Duan is so out of control because she was provoked."
Xiao Wenbin's face was extremely ugly. He glared at Qin Ran with gritted teeth. He wanted to give this woman a good face because she helped him.
I didn't expect her to be so ungrateful and actually say such things in front of the people. It's really hateful. I wouldn't have given her this face if I had known.
Fearing that the situation could get out of control, he turned to look at Li Jia, who understood and hurriedly greeted everyone in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion.
"Departure."
Everyone then walked out of the Marquis' Mansion. Looking at the Marquis' Mansion where they would never return, the female members of the family all sobbed quietly.
The men also had solemn expressions and kept their heads down in silence.
Qin Ran didn't feel anything. After all, she had just come here and had no reason to miss the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion.
However, when passing by Xiao Wenbin, he still glared at him fiercely.
"..."
Can't pretend anymore! He deserves it. It's all his own fault. If he hadn't always pretended to be affectionate in front of me.
It didn't make her angry. Now I really want to give him a mirror so that he can see how ugly his distorted face is.
"..." Xiao Wenbin gritted his teeth in anger.
He glared at Qin Ran fiercely. After not seeing her for a few days, this woman had changed so much.
At first, she was as obedient as a dog in front of him, but he didn't expect that after not seeing her for a few days, she dared to be so presumptuous.
If he wasn't afraid of tarnishing his reputation, he would have really wanted to stab her with a sword. However, when he thought of what she was going to experience next, a hint of pride appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Even a normal man might not be able to endure the suffering of exile, let alone her, a pregnant woman who is about to give birth.
Thinking that this woman didn't have much time left to live, he was no longer angry. Then he thought of the wealth accumulated by the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion for hundreds of years, which would soon belong to him.
He felt even happier and turned to look at the deputy general beside him.
"Search carefully for me!" He wanted to find out all the wealth in the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion.
"Yes," the deputy general agreed, and led everyone to rush to every corner of the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion.
Xiao Wenbin sat there smugly drinking tea, thinking about how much property he could confiscate today.
I calculated that I would need several carriages to pull it, but my dream was quickly shattered in less than an incense stick of time.
The guards sent out to search came back one after another, and only a few of them found some gold and silver valuables.
Most people have empty hands.
"Prince, these are what our subordinates found." The deputy general pointed to the gold and silver jewelry in the hands of the guards, as well as some jewelry and head ornaments worn by the women.
I thought the gold in the Marquis Zhenguo's Mansion could be piled up into a mountain, but in the end, this is all I found.
"That's all!" Xiao Wenbin stood up from his chair.
He looked at the gold, silver, and jewelry in the guard's hands in disbelief. The Zhenguo Marquisate had been established for hundreds of years, and even the royal rewards were more than that. How could there be only these few things?
"Your Highness, these are indeed all we have." The deputy general looked respectful.
We searched every corner of the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion, and indeed only found these things.
"Keep searching!" Xiao Wenbin's face turned completely black.
His back teeth were clenched tightly, and it was obvious that these things were the personal belongings of the people in the mansion.
Even if we have to dig three feet underground, we must find the treasury of the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion.
"Yes." The deputy general agreed and led his men to rush to every corner of the marquis' mansion again.
On the other hand, as soon as Qin Ran and his companions left the capital, they met up with another group of prisoners.
Among those people, some have delicate skin and rosy complexions, and it can be seen that they come from well-off families.
There were also some people with rough skin and thin faces, who were obviously poor people. There were probably about a hundred of them.
The supervisor in charge of escorting the prisoners this time was Li Jia, who took the list and checked everyone.
After confirming that it was correct, he shouted at everyone.
"Rest here for a while."
"Hmm?" Qin Ran's eyes lit up.
I thought we had to set off, but I didn't expect I could rest for a while.
He turned around and found a flat place to sit down. The book said that Li Jia was Xiao Wenbin's loyal lackey.
But now she thought he was a nice person and seemed quite humane, but she soon changed her mind.
After resting for less than half a quarter of an hour, they saw horse-drawn carriages driving out of the capital.
Some of the cars were carried by young women, and some were carried by old women. When you see them.
The female relatives of the prisoners rushed over, hugged each other, and burst into tears.
“…” Qin Ran.
Oh, it turned out to be their maternal family members. They came to see them off for the last time. Look at the bags they brought with them.
I think there must be good things in there, no wonder Li Jia asked everyone to rest here for a while.
I was waiting for them to give me something good. I thought he was a good person.
She looked around and saw no one came to see her original body.
The book says that the original body's father was the Minister of Revenue. After the bride died and her stepmother took over, she was no longer welcomed.
It has always been the case that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. It is normal that no one comes to visit, and we don’t envy that.
The women all came back with one or more bags, and passed by Qin Ran.
They all didn't look at her in a good way.
"..."
The eldest daughter of a minister's family has no one from her family to visit her. How annoying this woman must be.
Qin Ran didn't care. It wasn't the first time she had been glared at before, so she just pretended she didn't see it.
Seeing that most of the people who came to see him off had arrived, Li Jia waved to everyone.
"Let's go!" Everyone stood up lazily.
Qin Ran also stood up and was about to catch up with the team when she noticed the unfriendly gaze.
When she looked up, she saw those people with delicate skin who had just joined the team, all of them were glaring at her with gnashed teeth, and their eyes looked as if they wanted to kill her.
"..."
Damn it! How much sin did the original owner commit!
