There were cries and shouts everywhere in front of the Zhao family. They were reluctant to let go of the old glory, but they were also afraid of the coming disaster. Some were pretending to be crazy, and some were regretting it. The big ship of the Zhao family sank in the storm, and those who used to regard it as
Gong Guang began to regret it.
Servants were private property, and all the registered servants of the Zhao family were taken away. Their identities would be ascertained before arrangements could be made in the future. At this time, only a group of masters of the Zhao family were left standing at the door of their former home at a loss, facing a group of
The people watching the excitement pointed and pointed.
In the past, they looked down on ordinary people from a high position, but now they have become the talk of the town. The huge gap made it difficult for the Zhao family to adapt, and they could not help but cry. The mentally fragile ones could not bear the stimulation and passed out.
Amidst the commotion, Mrs. Li, the former patriarch of the Zhao family, seemed particularly calm. She even scolded her daughter and concubine who kept crying: "Why are you crying! The magistrate showed mercy to me and other women and children from being exiled.
If you are reluctant to leave or feel dissatisfied, just leave with the Zhao family, and no one will stop you."
The crying stopped slightly, and many people took a few steps back, but some looked at the men being escorted with firm expressions on their faces.
Mrs. Li looked at the young masters and masters again and said: "The Zhao family started from a humble beginning. Although the building has collapsed, there is still a chance for a comeback. If you still have the character of the Zhao family, you should not act like this. You guys
If it fails to recover, the Zhao family will truly be in decline."
Many people looked ashamed and bowed deeply to Mrs. Li.
But some people sneered and cursed angrily: "Madam, you really can stand up and talk without hurting your back. You can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth in Mingzhou Mansion, but we are going to eat yellow sand and snow outside the Great Wall. Life and death along the way are unpredictable. What will happen in the future?"
I don’t know whether I will have a chance to return to Mingzhou Mansion, so I am naturally worried and confused. If I don’t have to be exiled, I can also say some high-sounding and righteous words.”
The Zhao family, who had just been calmed down, started to commotion again under the instigation of these words.
Some people even booed: "Uncle San is right, the eldest brother made a mistake, why should we, the other brothers, bear the responsibility together? We are all innocent people who were implicated!"
Innocent? That's not what they said when they were clinging to their ancestral home and unwilling to split up. Now that a disaster is imminent, they no longer talk about their bloodline?
Mrs. Li smiled coldly: "You have benefited from the Zhao family a lot in the past, but now don't think it's a big disaster. If you still have some conscience, don't take any chances with us women and children. The prefect has mercy on us women and children, knowing that we can't
Resisting the pain of exile, but as your own family, you have no manly responsibility, and you still wish that we would accompany you to go through the hardship together, so as not to be despised."
Including the third uncle, the expressions of many men who secretly had evil ideas changed slightly, and their eyes were terrifyingly sinister.
"Good! Good! Good! As expected of me, the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family. Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest. They fly separately when disaster strikes. You, Mrs. Li, are really of good character. Today is an eye-opener for me!"
Mrs. Li ignored the shouts of the third wife and said calmly: "I, Mrs. Li, have a clear conscience. Even if I stay in Mingzhou Mansion, I will take care of my aunts, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces. It's okay to show off my quick words for a while.
What? As time goes by, one’s heart will be revealed.”
At this time, many people in the Zhao family looked convinced, and even the people watching the excitement were full of praise. Although I don’t know what the future will bring, just based on the words and deeds shown by Mrs. Li now, she is indeed worthy of her virtuous name.
