Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

The speaker was Xie Mohe.

Xie Mohe's father, Xie Zhaoting, was the younger brother of the old Prince of Zhenbei.

The Zhenbei Prince's Mansion has two branches. The first branch is Xie Moyao's parents, who have three sons and one daughter. Xie Moyao is the third son, his younger sister is Xie Mohuan, his sister-in-law is Li, and his second sister-in-law is Chen Yue.

The second wife was Xie Zhaoting and Fang Shi. Xie Zhaoting was the younger brother of the old Prince of Zhenbei, and also Xie Moyao's second uncle.

Xie Zhaoting has a son and a daughter: his eldest son is Xie Mojiang, and his second daughter is Xie Mohe.

As soon as Xie Mohe finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the courtyard. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. That's right, with such a commotion today, they had all forgotten that Ji Yunshu, who married Xie Moyao yesterday, didn't seem to be present.

Xie Mojiang and Fang looked left and right, but couldn't find Ji Yunshu anywhere. They immediately became unhappy.

"That's right! Ji Yunshu isn't here! This won't do! Now that she's married into the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, she's a member of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion in life and in death! Why shouldn't she be here? We won't accept this!"

"The imperial edict says the entire Zhenbei Prince's Mansion is to be exiled! She must have escaped in the chaos. Officials, you cannot let Ji Yunshu go, otherwise, it will be disobeying the imperial decree!"

The two of them talked back and forth, each more excited than the other.

Xie Moyao didn't react much, as if he hadn't heard what the two said at all. Old Madam Xie and Xie Mohuan glanced at him, but seeing that he didn't react, they didn't say anything either. They had never even met the woman Xie Moyao had married.

They probably knew the Prince's mansion was going to be raided, so they ran away in the chaos.

It's perfectly normal for couples to be like birds in the same forest, flying away separately when disaster strikes, especially since Ji Yunshu and Xie Moyao had only been married for one night.

Xie Mojiang and Xie Mohe persisted, and the Imperial Guard Commander frowned deeply. He hadn't even noticed that Ji Yunshu had married Xie Moyao and was indeed a member of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, so she should be exiled along with him.

He roared, "Men, search the entire Zhenbei Prince's mansion! Find him!"

Ji Yunshu is now a criminal. If he can't be found, not only will the entire Zhenbei Prince's Mansion be in deep trouble, but he himself will also be in serious trouble!

Meanwhile, Ji Yunshu had already secretly sneaked into the Minister's residence. Relying on her memory, she accurately located the Minister's storeroom. Using the same trick as before, she easily entered the storeroom and directly stored everything in the storeroom into her spatial storage.

Many of the gold and silver treasures in this storeroom were her mother's dowry. When she got married, Aunt Zhu used various excuses to only give her a small dowry, which made her unhappy!

That idiot of the original owner actually agreed!

Now that she has this space, she doesn't want to leave a single hair behind!

Thinking of this, Ji Yunshu quickly left the storeroom, her figure moving like a ghost through every corner of the Minister's mansion, taking everything she saw! Whether useful or useless, she took it all, even the tables and cabinets, the rockery in the back garden, and the fish in the water!

The kitchen was the same; pots, pans, leftover dishes, seasonings, rice—everything was crammed into the space.

Ji Yunshu was relieved. Fortunately, this space could still store things. Even if they couldn't be put inside the house for the time being, they could be piled up on the open ground outside. The open ground was very wide and seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see. Even if the entire capital city were contained, it should be able to fit everything.

She glanced at the time outside; it was almost dawn. She quickened her pace and soon had toured the entire Minister's residence.

She grew up here and is very familiar with the layout of the Minister's residence, so she is very efficient in doing things.

After a while, she arrived at the back gate of the Minister's residence, looked behind her to make sure no one saw her, and then opened the gate and headed towards the main entrance.

The Minister's residence was now just an empty shell.

She arrived at the main gate of the Minister's Mansion. A huge plaque hung on the gate, and Ji Yunshu felt only irony when she saw the words "Minister's Mansion".

"Hmph, a whole family of heartless bastards!"

Don't even think about killing her like that!

She glanced around; it was already broad daylight, and many pedestrians were hurrying to and fro on the street. A slight smile played on her lips, and a fleeting hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, replaced by a face full of grievance.

She collapsed to the ground with a thud, trying to squeeze out two tears to make herself look pitiful, but her voice was incredibly loud.

"Father, Father, come out!"

"I beg you, please come out and say something for the Prince's Mansion! The Imperial Guard Commander has found evidence of the Prince of Zhenbei's treason at the Prince's Mansion! He wants to release the entire Prince's family! But I clearly remember those things were part of your dowry, and you told me to bring them into the Prince's Mansion!"

"Come with me to the palace and explain things to His Majesty! We can't let the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion be wrongly accused!"

She rattled off a long string of words, occasionally sobbing, but her words were clear and distinct. It was morning, and the streets were eerily quiet. Her words were heard not only by the people on the street but also by many vendors and residents living nearby.

Gradually, some people stopped.

As Ji Yunshu continued wiping away her tears, she secretly glanced around and saw more and more people gathering around. She couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

It seems this tactic really worked. Gossip is still the most attractive thing, and that's exactly the effect she wanted. The more people gossip, the more beneficial it is for what she wants to do today. Even if the dog emperor sits on the dragon throne, he can't stop the power of public opinion.

"Young lady, what happened?"

"What girl? Can't you see her? She's wearing a wedding dress. She should be Ji Yunshu, the legitimate daughter of the Minister's Mansion who married into the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion yesterday."

"It's her, it's her! I recognize her. Didn't she just get married yesterday? Why is she back home today? And what is she doing kneeling at the gate of the Minister's mansion? Also, what did she mean by what she just said? What do you mean by 'evidence of treason was found in the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion'? But Ji Yunshu said that evidence was part of her dowry!"

"Would the Minister's family use their daughter's marriage as an excuse to slip some unclean things into the Prince of Zhenbei's residence?"

"From what Ji Yunshu said, that's roughly the gist of it. Wow, everyone says the officialdom is a murky place, but I never imagined it'd be this dirty. If you ask me, Ji Yunshu is ruthless; she actually exposed this in the street. Isn't that just asking for trouble?"

"The imperial edict of exile has already been issued, yet Ji Yunshu actually came to the gates of the Minister's residence to discuss these matters. How can the people inside possibly have a good life?"

"What a disgrace! Since Minister Ji did such a thing, I don't think he cared about his daughter Ji Yunshu at all. She was married one day and her family was raided and she was exiled the next. Ji Yunshu is truly unlucky!"

The surrounding chatter grew louder and louder, and more and more people gathered around. After saying those words, Ji Yunshu kept her head down, her body trembling from time to time. To those around her, it looked like she was crying so hard she was about to pass out.
