Chapter 8 Exile
"Second sister-in-law, life and death are the easiest. It is difficult for those who are alive. Now we are exiled, but who can say what the future will be like?"
After saying that, he saw Gu Feizheng looking at them with tears in her eyes, and walked towards them silently.
Xu Muzhen touched her hair and said softly, "Sister Fei, take good care of your mother and persuade her!"
"Thank you, Third Aunt!" Gu Fei looked at Xu Muqian and whispered.
Gu Fei felt that her third aunt, who had always ridiculed her in the past, seemed to be a different person now. She was a little confused, but she didn't think much about it.
She was a little scared. If Xu Muzhen hadn't been alert and saved her mother, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Gu Fei looked at her mother, who was a little stunned, and sighed in her heart. Her mother was really spoiled by her father, even for such a little thing.
After all this trouble, everyone in the Gu family was woken up.
Seeing that Mr. Yao had been rescued, nothing happened, and he didn't come over to say anything. He was just lying there quietly.
It is estimated that no one will be able to sleep that night.
When the sky was slightly bright, I heard the sound of the jailer cursing and opening the door vigorously, "Damn it, you're just torturing me, it's not even bright yet."
"Hey, Li Tou, you didn't just crawl out of that girl's bed, did you? You're so angry." After saying this, there was a burst of laughter.
"Fuck you, I'm a serious person!" After saying that, he hit the man on the shoulder.
"Li Tou, are you really not going to escort the prisoner this time?"
"I won't go. Last time I escorted Yongchang Earl's Mansion and his family, they haven't recovered yet. That place is so cold."
"Cold?" Xu Muzhen found the keyword from their conversation. It seemed that they were really exiled to a bitter cold place.
While they were thinking, the jailers had already arrived in front of their cell.
After opening the door, he saw someone still lying down and said fiercely, "Are you sleeping like a dead person? If you don't get up, do you still think you are an official's family?"
Hurry! I’ll give you half a quarter of an hour to clean up, and I’ll make you look good by delaying your journey.”
Gu Zhao, who was next to Xu Muxian, was startled and grabbed her sleeves tightly in fear.
Xu Muzhen said softly, "Brother Zhao, don't be afraid, let's clean up quickly."
She helped Gu Zhao put on his coat, touched her things, then hugged Gu Zhao and walked out with the others.
After leaving the cell, I saw that there were other female officials who were going to be exiled together. It seemed that many officials were dismissed this time.
Xu Muxian stood aside holding Gu Zhao.
Next to her was Gu Fei, who was holding Chen's hand. She held Chen's hand tightly and looked at everyone nervously, but Chen still didn't seem to have recovered.
The eldest lady Yao and her daughter Gu Lin followed Lin Lu from the eldest house to a house.
According to Xu Muzhen's memory, that family seemed to be Lin Lu's natal family, Mrs. Lin and her two daughters, Lin Zhuer and Lin Baoer.
After the female family members were gathered together, they were led out by the jailer.
Before she reached the main square where they were gathering, she heard the "snap" sound of sticks being hit on her body and the screams and grunts of men.
Xu Muqian subconsciously put Gu Zhao's head on her shoulder and covered his ears. It seemed that the men were making plans before being exiled.
She would probably go with them in shackles. She touched the things on her body and hesitated to wait for Gu Huaijin to finish tying the board and whether she wanted to give it to him.
Forget it, she is still in exile in this unknown dynasty. If that person burps, then her life will not be easy for a woman with a child in the future, so she should just worry about it for a while!
After waiting for a while, the jailer who finished beating the boards stopped, put the shackles on the men and left them alone.
The women saw that their men could no longer stand, and ran over anxiously, all crying and calling for their husbands or fathers.
Even the second wife Chen, who had been confused, seemed to have come back to her senses. She took her daughter and ran towards Gu Huaiyu, the second master of the Gu family.
Seeing her husband's weak appearance, she began to cry in distress.
Gu Huaiyu was already weak, so how could he go into exile now that he was beaten? Can he still be sent to a place of exile?
The more Ms. Chen thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became. Finally, the family of three hugged each other and cried.
Looking at the others, Xu Muqian followed the crowd and carried Gu Zhao over.
Gu Huaijin was now shackled, and her complexion turned pale after being beaten with the stick.
He was turning around to talk to Gu Huairui, the eldest son, and was concerned about how his cousin, who had been weak in his early years, was doing.
Gu Huaijin has always admired Gu Huairui, thinking that he is a sage with great wisdom and great love!
If my cousin had not been sick and had been on the verge of life and death several times since he was a child, and had to spend the past ten years in a hospital bed, it would be hard to say that he would have become a world-famous scholar.
Just as he was supporting Gu Huairui, he saw a fat woman running over with a child in her arms.
"Are you okay?" When the word husband came to her lips, Xu Muchian still didn't call out.
She was holding Gu Zhao, her hair disheveled, and she was wearing shabby and dirty clothes. Her whole person looked like she no longer had the nobility of the past.
Gu Huaijin glanced at her, a little surprised that she was actually holding the child!
I usually hear from my sister-in-law and others about what she does at home.
"You." Just as Gu Huaijin was about to speak, he heard a distressed and weak voice, "Ms. sir, are you okay? You've suffered!"
Lin Lu rushed over from the side, hugged Gu Huairui and started crying.
Gu Huaijin, who was interrupted from talking, looked at his brother and sister-in-law hugging each other, and he stood aside embarrassedly.
After all, it's hard for his brother-in-law to stand aside when a couple is talking.
However, seeing that Gu Huairui was a little unsteady on his feet, he still had a worried expression on his face, and he wanted to run over and help him.
Seeing him like that, Xu Maqian rolled her eyes in her heart, licking the dog! Big licking the dog!
Although she felt unhappy, she still couldn't ignore him.
Xu Muzhen looked around carefully and secretly took out a pill using Gu Zhao as a cover.
He walked up to Gu Huaijin and tried to use the excuse of wiping his sweat to stuff the medicine into his mouth.
"Why are you sweating so much? Let me wipe it for you!" Xu Muchian raised her hand to wipe it for him.
Gu Huaijin saw her taking action and subconsciously wanted to avoid it.
However, Xu Muzhen grabbed her arm and said with a worried look on her face, "You have suffered."
Being held by her and unable to move, Gu Huaijin felt a sharp pain in her arms, almost as much as the pain in her back when she was hit with a board.
Seeing that he was not moving, Xu Muchian felt extremely satisfied. When she rubbed it on his face, she whispered, "Open your mouth!"
Gu Huaijin opened her mouth subconsciously, and she stuffed something into it.
When he felt something in his mouth, he immediately closed his mouth and swallowed it. Only after he finished eating did he feel the medicinal taste in his mouth.
Looking at his puzzled expression, Xu Muzhen whispered, "This is the Recovery Pill. There are only a few pills in total. Brother Zhao and I have taken them, and this is the last pill."
Gu Huaijin nodded and swallowed the words he was asking for a pill.
