Chapter 215 Take a Shortcut
Everyone present turned their attention to Su Manrong, who was concentrating with her eyes closed. They heard that their home was going to be ransacked, and they were always in a state of uneasiness and panic.
On the contrary, I forgot that the Su Shangshu who presented the paper was Su Manrong’s father!
The old lady's words reminded everyone that Su Manrong was the culprit.
Half a month after Su Manrong married into the Xiao Mansion, the Xiao Mansion was accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason...
When Su Shangshu presented the paper, his words were quite provocative...
Everyone in the Xiao Mansion instantly hated Su Manrong. Their current embarrassment was all due to their defeat at Su Manrong...
Su Manrong's name was suddenly called, and she opened her eyes impatiently.
She just didn't follow the old woman's wishes and hand over the cloth.
The old woman is so cruel that she wants to kill her?
None of the high-ranking nobles in the Xiao Mansion have ever endured such humiliation. Now that the old woman has pinned all this on her, isn't this urging everyone to vent their anger on her, a concubine of the Shangshu Mansion?
Good old lady...
At first, she was just regarded as an old woman who was feudal and pedantic, favoring the direct descendants over the concubines...
Unexpectedly, she is as petty as a needle and has no manners that a housewife should have. What is the difference between her and a scolding shrew?
Being old and disrespectful does not deserve respect.
"Ms. Su, our Xiao family and your Su family are at odds with each other. Why do you still have the dignity to show off in front of us? I'll give you this porcelain bowl. You can cut your own throat to apologize."
All of a sudden, both direct and collateral members of the Xiao family were verbally attacking Su Manrong, calling her a poisonous woman and an ambitious woman.
The women from the Xiao Mansion were the most quarrelsome, and someone picked up half a porcelain bowl and tried to smash Su Manrong's head so that it would bleed.
Su Manrong was worried that those idiots would hurt the two children, so she instinctively protected them with her body.
"If you want to drink porridge with your hands at night, just smash it."
Su Manrong's face was extremely calm, but she was very scared in her heart. She was most afraid of pain... If there were scars, she would kill these people!
"Hmph... I think it's dirty for us to smash a sycophant's daughter like you." The people from the Xiao family looked at the two broken porcelain bowls in the cell and put them away silently.
.
Not to mention porridge, they had been struggling for so long and just wanted to drink water, so they had to keep the porcelain bowl.
"The old lady is really good at blaming all the dissatisfaction with Xiao Mansion on me in just a few words." Seeing that the danger was over, Su Manrong turned around and looked at the old lady.
"Like most of the ladies here, I am a concubine. Everyone knows the status of a concubine in the family.
Even if the Shangshu Mansion does something, it is not something I, a concubine, can control.
Besides, the accusation of collaborating with the enemy and treason came from the frontier, what does it have to do with me, and what does it have to do with the Shangshu Mansion?"
The old lady failed to discipline her son and grandson well, and because of their behavior, the family was in trouble.
You must know that it is because of the mercy of the Holy One that we are destined to quarrel here. If there is any news from the border fortress, I am afraid that we will be executed on the spot."
"You...you..." The old lady covered her chest, stared at Su Manrong with a pale face, and fainted in the next second.
All the female members of the Xiao family immediately gathered around him. They had never experienced anything like this before, and they all regarded the old lady as their backbone.
Now that the old lady was so angry with Su Manrong that she fainted, they hated Su Manrong even more. However, the Xiao family's descendants have calmed down a lot, and they all gathered together from a distance. They don't know what they underestimated.
"Thank you to the old lady for teaching me. My granddaughter-in-law understands that as long as she gets the upper hand in a quarrel, she can just pretend to be dazed and get over it."
Su Manrong snorted lightly, she would never let the dead old woman get through so easily.
"Su Manrong, my grandmother has a problem, and I will never let you go." Xiao Jing, the granddaughter of the Xiao Mansion, wiped away her tears and threatened Su Manrong.
In her life, Su Manrong was least afraid of threats from others, and her words were not as strong as her strength.
How many tough-talking colleagues has she sent away if she can reach the position of a senior executive? Will she still care about Xiao Jing, a granddaughter with a big heart but no brains?
She is nothing more than a love brain who only wants to enter the palace and become a concubine. With her IQ, she would not survive even one episode after entering the palace.
Su Manrong knelt down and arranged the cloth, then lay down outside the two children, surrounded them, and took the opportunity to rest.
Everyone in the Xiao Mansion cried for a while, their mouths were dry, and they couldn't wait for the porridge. They were all hungry and didn't sleep all night.
Su Manrong felt particularly at ease sleeping next to her two children. She even touched Yuan'er's forehead during the process. She was sweating and her fever was gone, so the three mothers didn't care what everyone else was doing and had a good sleep.
When I woke up, I was just in time to catch up with the jailer coming to deliver the meal.
"Is this pig food? How do you eat it?" Xiao Jing threw the steamed bun aside heavily and leaned on it angrily.
"These steamed buns are rancid and moldy, so I won't eat them." Xiao Zhiyuan went too far. He refused to eat the porridge, so he kicked the porridge to the ground.
When everyone in the Xiao Mansion saw the steamed buns and porridge thrown carelessly on the ground by the jailer, they all looked disgusted and refused to move forward.
Su Manrong didn't care if it was moldy or not, so she walked over and picked up two steamed buns.
"mother..."
After sleeping for such a long time, the two children also woke up one after another. They were only one year and two months old, had just learned to walk, and could only call mother...
Su Manrong was also glad that they could not speak yet, otherwise they would have been in trouble if they had shown off to everyone that they had eaten chicken cakes.
"Zheng'er Yuan'er is good, how about we eat steamed buns?"
When Su Manrong sat up with Zheng'er in her arms, she quietly held the chicken cake in her hand.
She broke open the moldy steamed bun and apparently tore off a piece from the steamed bun and fed it to the child. In fact, she switched the steamed buns at lightning speed and put the chicken cake into Zheng'er's mouth.
Anyway, the color is the same, so others can't tell any difference.
After the two children were full, Su Manrong put the remaining chicken cakes into his mouth to fill his stomach temporarily. If he had time on the way to exile, he would have another big meal.
"Convicts of the Xiao Mansion, quickly change into prison uniforms, we will be on the road soon." The jailer opened the cell door and threw a large bag of dirty prison uniforms in, reminding him fiercely: "Don't be too impatient, you will waste time."
, a whip is indispensable on the road."
Su Manrong immediately pulled off a prison uniform and put it on, fastened two pieces of cloth to her body, and carried the two children one behind the other.
While the female members of the Xiao family were covering their noses, complaining and putting on clothes, she carried the two children on her back and came to the knife-wielding jailer with an irritated face.
"Master Jun, I just heard that your youngest son has a high fever and cannot be fed medicine. My two children have the same symptoms. Maybe I can help."
The cell was in a mess, and she could not hear what the jailer was saying standing in the corridor.
It was just a scene in a dream. I knew that the jailer responsible for escorting them had a bad temper along the way and beat and scolded everyone in the Xiao Mansion because he could not stay in the Holy Capital to take care of the sick children.
She has to go with the jailer all the way, isn't the jailer her supervisor?
