Chapter 211 Shocking City Lord
Xiao Chengxian put away the wanton smile on his face and thought about the scene just now.
"Follow her. If she goes to Shangshu's Mansion, forget it. If she goes to the city gate, she will be stopped and sent directly to Shangshu's Mansion." ωωw..net
Xiao Chengxian paused, then walked toward his residence in Zhuyuan with wind on his feet.
"Young Master, I just saw a slap mark on Madam's face. I'm afraid that Aunt Liu will cause trouble for Young Madam again."
"Su Manrong was bullied by my father's aunt for half a month after entering the house, but she never resisted."
There was a moment of dissatisfaction in Xiao Chengxian's dark eyes under his sword-shaped eyebrows: "Today she took advantage of being beaten to go back to Shangshu's Mansion... I'm afraid she will have to reconcile with this young master soon.
Eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, racing pigeons and fighting crickets, being disrespectful... Whatever, I, Xiao Chengxian, don't care about multiple second marriage titles."
...
Shangshu Mansion.
"Miss, my wife has a gout attack, and I can't reminisce with her anymore." The mother-in-law made a gesture of seeing off the guests with a smile, then turned and left.
"Mother is in critical condition, so I'll pick up some old things and go back to the general's mansion."
Su Manrong looked at the closed door coldly. Su Manrong knew exactly how Mrs. Shangshu treated the original owner.
If her married daughter hadn't returned home and wanted to meet her mistress, she wouldn't have wasted any time meeting this old bitch.
The Shangshu Mansion covers a large area, and the warehouse in the mansion is as large as half of the national treasury.
The eldest lady above the palace, whose natal family is Huang Shang, has countless dowry and private treasury.
With so much property, it may be necessary to make some big noise to attract everyone's attention, so that the Shangshu's mansion can be vacated!
She first put a piece of white jade in the center of the courtyard of Shangshu Mansion into the space, and then made a noise to attract everyone's attention.
You must know that this piece of white jade was a gift from the emperor, weighed tens of thousands of kilograms, and was transported to the courtyard by dozens of craftsmen with great effort.
While everyone was gathering in the vestibule, Su Manrong quietly collected the Shangshu Mansion's treasury, the Shangshu's private treasury, his wife's private treasury and those of his aunts, all by himself into the space.
Although she has no use for the damask silks, rouge and gouache, she doesn't want to keep them, and she won't keep them even if she throws them away...
All the rice paper, pens and ink, and books in the study room have also been collected. It will be better to donate them to impoverished mountainous areas than to keep them.
The screens, soft mats, cushions, door panels, door locks, and window screens that you like are also included.
Nanmu tables and chairs are good, and elm tables and chairs are not bad either.
After all, when I went to Sichuan and Sichuan, I had to build my own house, so I would need all these furniture.
Finally, he went to the large kitchen of Shangshu Mansion and took in every penny of the meat cooked in the pot, the dishes on the plate, or the poultry and fish stored aside.
After doing all this, Su Manrong sent away the wet nurse and Chun Ming, and returned to the general's mansion alone.
At this time, there are still three hours left before exile.
She has never met the two children, and she is even less clear about their eating preferences and parenting habits.
He took out a recording pen from the space and went to the residence of the two children.
"Are you asleep?" Su Manrong was filled with joy when she saw the two cute little people in front of her, but she stepped forward cautiously.
"Back to Madam, the young master and the young lady are a bit feverish today. They just took medicine and then went to bed."
Su Manrong's brows instantly knitted together, remembering the dark and smelly cell, and sleeping in the open air on the road to exile.
Even adults can't bear it, let alone two sick children.
"Fifth Young Madam, Aunt Liu sent us to ask questions yesterday. The young master and the young lady were frozen in the cold wind... We..." The two wet nurses stood aside in fear, fearing that Su Manrong in front of them would blame them.
"It's okay. It's common for children to get cold occasionally. I know you are doing your best to take care of them."
Su Manrong frowned and silently made an account in her heart.
Those who have harmed the original owner and her two children will soon accept her punishment.
"Tell me about their eating habits, work and rest schedules, the foods they eat, and the methods you use to comfort them in your daily life, including the songs you hum and nursery rhymes you tell.
Tell me."
Su Manrong pressed the switch of the recorder and while staring at the sleeping faces of the two children, she quietly captured the key points of the wet nurse's words.
Before the two wet nurses finished speaking, there was a commotion outside, with cries and scoldings all of a sudden...
It stands to reason that there are still two hours before the house confiscation and exile. Could it be that it is too early?
"Can you two please carry them to the front yard first, and be sure not to conflict with the military master. I will come later."
Su Manrong stood up, bent down and handed the two sleeping children to the wet nurses one by one.
After sending them out of the room, Su Manrong quickly put the two children's clothes, pantyhose, bedding and toys into the space.
Before going out, he took the snacks and a pot of hot water on the table, turned around and ran out.
"hiss..."
"hiss..."
Xiao Chengxian didn't expect that Su Manrong would come out of the room. The two of them bumped into each other, grinning in pain.
"Where's the child?" Xiao Chengxian didn't care about it. His lip was cut by Su Manrong's forehead, and he looked up at the house.
At this time, there was only one large bed left in the room, with the bed board exposed.
Empty wardrobe, open door...
That's all...
"The wet nurse took her to the front yard."
Su Manrong was afraid that he would become suspicious, so she rubbed her forehead and went to the kitchen of the General's Mansion to collect all the cooked food.
Considering that the two children were still feverish, she returned to the kitchen, took down the gourd bottle hanging on the wall, and poured a cup of warm water with Qiuli paste into it.
As soon as Su Manrong came out of the kitchen, she encountered a pair of officers searching people. She and several servants were roughly dragged to the front yard by the officers.
As I pushed my way through the crowd, I could hear the sounds of women sobbing and complaining.
Even Mrs. Xiao, who had always been graceful and dignified, with a strong dictatorship, now had red eyes and could not stand evenly while being supported by her two daughters-in-law.
He kept chanting: "My son serves the country loyally and will never rebel. It is clear from the Holy Spirit..."
After saying that, he knelt heavily on the ground. Seeing this, the other ladies, aunts, young masters, and young ladies also knelt on the ground, trembling all over, hoping that by kneeling down, they would be able to express the emperor's grace.
Su Manrong glanced at the stupid people indifferently. Can the Sacred Heart be restored by kneeling down and crying?
It's better to conserve energy honestly and survive as long as possible for two days on the road to exile.
"The criminal ministers of the Xiao Mansion and their families are listening. The pool is used as a boundary. The servants stand on the left. The family members, regardless of gender, stand on the right.
Everyone took off their silks and satins and handed over all the valuable things they had on them. If anyone dares to keep it privately, don’t blame me for swinging the long whip in my hand!"
In the Shuntian Mansion, which was ordered to confiscate the house, these officials usually made a lot of money from it. They were all tall and powerful, and when they waved their long whips, everyone in the Xiao Mansion trembled with fear.
