Chapter 212 A Lonely Throw
Su Manrong took the child from the arms of the two wet nurses and took the opportunity to put a handful of broken silver into their hands.
Whether they can hide this money or not depends on their ability.
The two wet nurses wiped away their tears and reluctantly looked at the two children. Then they walked through the noisy crowd and stood in the queue of servants.
Su Manrong took off all her clothes and accessories and put them aside.
Then he took out two pieces of inconspicuous coarse cloth from his arms, tied them crosswise twice, and fixed them on his shoulders. He then loosened the cloth belt on his body and fixed the cloth on his waist.
In this way, her shoulders served as a support point, and the fabric on her chest and back became a simple pocket.
Before she traveled through time, she learned this skill from the Internet just to make it easier to hold her child.
When walking, it can be used to secure two children. When stopping to rest, two complete pieces of fabric can be disassembled to make a thin quilt...
"I am the legitimate daughter of the general's palace, the show girl of the autumn talent show, you rough guys dare to search my body!"
As the legitimate daughter of Xiao Mansion, Xiao Jing has outstanding appearance and pretentiousness. She only thinks about the autumn draft, and she will surely capture the Holy Heart in one fell swoop.
But she didn't expect such a change to happen in her family. She simply couldn't accept the disrespect from those rude people.
"The general's palace is collaborating with the enemy and treason, and the imperial edict to confiscate and exile your family will arrive soon. Depending on whether you are a legitimate daughter or a concubine, if you dare to yell again, I will slap your face with a whip!"
The eldest lady Qin Ru took off the gold hairpin on her head, hurriedly stepped forward to protect her legitimate daughter Xiao Jing behind her, and quietly handed the gold hairpin to the military master: "Master, she is a daughter, it is not convenient for her to be searched.
I will search her body and I will definitely miss nothing."
"Humph." The military master glared at Xiao Jing and sighed: "It is no longer the time for your Xiao family to show off its power."
Everyone in the Xiao Mansion saw that the military master did not even give the eldest wife Qin Ru face, and no one dared to hide it secretly. They cried and handed over all the property they had.
"Master Jun, is it my father who will issue the edict of confiscating my house and banishing me later? I am the wife of a criminal, so it is inconvenient for me to talk to the official who issued the document, so I bother you, Master Jun, to help me greet my father."
As a senior official in the workplace, Su Manrong's speaking skills are still very good.
I saw her stuffing two silver notes into the military master's knife-wielding hand and whispering: "The two children are young, should you leave these two pieces of cake to them?"
"Are you the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion?" The military master heard the sound and looked up and down Su Manrong, who took the initiative to hand over the finances. Seeing her nod, after accepting the banknote, he put the gold ingot he had just seized into Su Manrong's hands: "Miss Su,
I can use it in cash on my way into exile."
This official never expected that for the first time in his life, he would flatter the wrong person...
"Thank you." Su Manrong nodded repeatedly, stepped aside with the two children in his arms, sat on the ground, and rested.
Xiao Rong, the master of Rong Mansion, was escorted back from Zhuangzi, and his two sons were also escorted back while they were handling business.
The three of them, father and son, listened to the old lady telling her what had happened to the Xiao family, and they all stayed by the old lady's side with filial piety, constantly comforting her.
Xiao Chengxian was also escorted back, smelling of alcohol, carrying a pigeon cage, and smiling playfully at the military commander who ransacked his house.
Su Manrong frowned, Xiao Chengxian was still in the backyard just now, how could he be escorted back smelling of alcohol?
"You traitor! The Xiao Mansion is in trouble. You are full of alcohol and have a playful smile. Do you still think the Xiao Mansion is not miserable enough?"
The old lady saw that Xiao Chengxian smelled of alcohol and had his lips bitten by unscrupulous people. It was really unsightly.
The Xiao Mansion is an upright business. Even if the house is ransacked, we must not become the laughing stock of the dignitaries in the Holy City because of Xiao Chengxian, a scoundrel!
"Grandma, you are joking. The Xiao family is in trouble not because of me, a bastard. How can I be so capable?"
Xiao Chengxian held the pigeon cage with one hand and bowed his head. Without waiting for the old lady to continue her lecture, he walked around the crowd and walked towards Su Manrong.
Originally, everyone was frightened and sad because of the disaster, and they didn't know the way forward.
But now everyone is blaming Xiao Chengxian. They are all angry at the moment and can no longer worry about it.
"Madam, I originally wanted to help you hold the baby, but look at me... no one is carrying the pigeon cage..."
"I didn't count on you either."
Su Manrong twitched the corner of her mouth and responded indifferently.
As a man, living like Xiao Chengxian is a waste in this life...
Immediately afterwards, Su Shangshu walked in with the imperial edict in hand and a proud face. Everyone knelt down to welcome the imperial edict.
"Why does Zheng'er Yuan'er look so ugly?" Xiao Chengxian took advantage of everyone to kneel down slowly and touched the foreheads of the two children.
"Thanks to your Aunt Liu, the two children were caught in the cold wind and froze."
Su Manrong finally heard something from Xiao Chengxian's mouth. At least she knew how to care about her two children...
"It's okay, it's common to feel the cold occasionally." Xiao Chengxian looked around the crowd calmly.
"..." Su Manrong twitched the corner of her mouth and silently retracted her words. Xiao Chengxian couldn't speak in human words.
"By God's will, the emperor issued an edict. The guilty minister Xiao Yao lied about military information and lost tens of thousands of our elite soldiers. The guilty minister Xiao Yao fled with his sons Xiao Ting, Xiao Kai, and Xiao Chengkang to the Nie State, and was found guilty of collaborating with the enemy and treason.
I remember that the old general has served the country well, but the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped.
From now on, the nine Xiao clans will be exiled to Sichuan and Shu, demoted to the rank of criminals, and will serve in Sichuan and Shu for life. Men are not allowed to serve as officials, and women are not allowed to marry officials.
Mrs. Xiao, the emperor’s kindness is so great, why don’t you hurry up and accept the order to express your gratitude?”
Su Shangshu held his head proudly, looking quite proud of the spring breeze.
"Sinner Xiao Guo, I accept the edict and express my gratitude." The old lady slowly knelt down, took the imperial edict, and thanked the emperor for his kindness.
"The old lady deserves to be the daughter of a general. She has given the imperial edict, but she is still so dissatisfied?
As far as I know, Xiao Ting’s legs were injured when the criminal Xiao Yao fled with his son, making it difficult to continue the family line... Xiao Kai was hit by an arrow in the arm, but Xiao Chengkang survived..."
As he spoke, Su Shangshu caressed Hu and laughed, feeling very happy: "But they are not fatal injuries. You don't have to lead troops to fight. You can still do some menial work."
The eldest lady, Qin Ru, could not accept the news that her two sons had become invalids, and she collapsed in anger.
When Lin Ruodai, the legitimate young wife, heard that her husband Xiao Ting's legs were injured, she wailed and fell down heavily.
Other ladies and aunts came forward to take care of the two of them, crying and persuading them. The scene was very noisy.
"Quick... pull me out..."
I saw Aunt Liu standing up from the pool with a head of moss on her head. In the chaos just now, she felt a big hand push her, and then she lost her footing and fell into the pool...
Spring had just begun at this time, and she already felt slightly cold after taking off her coat when she ransacked the house. Aunt Liu was wet all over her body and was already shivering.
Su Manrong looked over following the sound and saw Xiao Chengxian standing by the pool, talking to his pigeons.
