Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 213: Cannon Fodder in the Confiscated Property and Exile Story 18

That evening, Jiang Ping developed a fever.

When Aunt Wang brought over the thin porridge, she found Jiang Ping curled up in a ball, complaining of being cold.

Jiang Ping was still trembling. Aunt Wang touched Jiang Ping's forehead and found it to be burning hot. Jiang Ping had a fever.

"Mom, I'm so cold."

Aunt Wang covered Jiang Ping with all her clothes, but Jiang Ping was still cold.

But they had no medicine.

"Mother, am I going to die? I should have died long ago, it would be better if I died."

Seeing that Jiang Ping's body was getting hotter and hotter and she was talking nonsense, Aunt Wang had no choice but to ask for medicine.

Although they have severed ties with the Prime Minister's residence, Jiang Ping is still a member of the Jiang family. They can't just stand by and watch her run high fever until she becomes mentally impaired.

When Aunt Wang went to ask for help, Madam Li and Jiang Yu stood in front of her, feeling extremely pleased.

Weren't you so eager to sever ties with the Prime Minister's residence before?

Jin'er came begging for medicine again. What does she take them for?

Can they come at a moment's notice and leave at a moment's abandonment?

When asking for help, one must have the proper attitude. Li made Aunt Wang kneel on the ground.

Aunt Wang knelt on the ground and kowtowed in order to beg for medicine.

However, Li would not give her the medicine.

I just want to see her in pain.

The old lady had long since considered them dead, despite her previous aggressive behavior and portraying her as such a biased grandmother.

She's just biased; she won't give me the medicine.

Jiang Linyun looked at Aunt Wang kneeling on the ground kowtowing with a cold expression.

He wished he had never given birth to Jiang Ping, that rebellious daughter. He would rather she had died than save her.

When Jiang Yu learned that Jiang Ping had a persistent high fever and was delirious, she was in a good mood and went to see Jiang Ping's miserable state to see if she was dead. This was retribution for her actions.

Jiang Yangxu remained indifferent to the matter and focused on staying by his grandmother's side.

As long as he pleases his grandmother, he'll get his share of benefits; he doesn't care what anyone else does.

Aunt Wang was insulted and in the end all she got was the word "myrrh".

Aunt Wang was disappointed, but she couldn't give up.

They then went to the eldest son's side for help. The eldest son's side saw that Jiang Linyun himself didn't care about his daughter, so why should they care?

Aunt Wang then went to find Madam Sun.

Jiang He and Madam Sun were having dinner together outside the carriage.

Jiang Haoyun went with the soldiers to purchase supplies and hasn't returned yet.

Jiang He and Madam Sun did not stay inside the carriage, but sat outside.

Aunt Wang ran over and knelt before Jiang He and Madam Sun.

"Third Madam, please, save Jiang Ping! She got caught in the rain and has a high fever."

"I'm not a doctor, I can't help you."

Ms. Sun refused.

"Third Madam, could you please give me some fever-reducing medicine?"

"Fever reducer? Do you think I would have that? Before the house was raided, only Jiang Ping caught a cold. If anyone had medicine, it would be you."

"Third Madam, didn't you have a package? I was just thinking that maybe you had the medicine."

"Oh, I didn't."

"Third Madam, could you lend me some silver?"

No one in the Prime Minister's residence was willing to give it to her.

Then we'll have to see if anyone else has the medicine.

However, they wouldn't give medicine to strangers; if she wanted medicine, she had to buy it with money.

All their silver was stolen.

If the Third Madam and the others could afford seats, they must have money.

"Borrow? You want to borrow from me? How are you going to pay it back? Asking to borrow something you can't repay—are you lying to me or to yourself?"

"Third Madam, I beg you, I've knelt down and kowtowed to you, please have mercy and give me ten taels of silver."

"Ten taels is just for a seat. You've already spent thirty taels on a seat, so give me ten taels to save Jiang Ping's life."

"I can use my money however I want, why should I give it to you?"

They were just borrowing, and now they're giving it away directly. They're shameless. Although Madam Sun lives a secluded life, she knows that the second branch of the family has a lot of dirty deeds.

This Aunt Wang came once before, and now she's coming again. It's really annoying.

They've all moved to the very front; wouldn't it be better if we all kept to ourselves and didn't interfere with each other?

"Third Madam, that's a human life! You can't just stand by and watch someone die. Five taels, five taels will do."

Aunt Wang stepped forward and grabbed Sun's trouser leg.

Sun's expression changed, and she pushed Jiang He into the carriage.

"Whether they live or die is none of our business, so don't come looking for us."

Sun also got into the carriage.

Aunt Wang wanted to get back into the carriage, but was stopped by the soldiers.

"Who are you? Do you think you can get on this carriage?"

"Sir, I want to speak with the person in the carriage."

"You can't even get on the carriage to talk; only those who have paid can get on."

"Sir, my daughter has a fever. I just want to beg someone to give me some medicine or some money. Please be lenient and let me go up and say a few words."

"You want medicine? I can show you a way. See that person? Go and beg that lord, and you'll have the medicine. It just depends on whether you're willing or not."

The officers and soldiers had a ulterior motive.

They can't take action against these people proactively, but it's a different story if they come to them on their own.

Although Aunt Wang was a bit old, she still retained her charm, which was exactly what that gentleman liked.

Aunt Wang saw the soldiers looking her up and down, and she understood that they wanted her to submit to them in a transaction.

Feeling uncomfortable under her gaze, and knowing that Madam Sun couldn't help her, Aunt Wang could only slink away.

Aunt Wang returned to Jiang Ping's side.

Jiang Ping still had a high fever, but at least she stopped complaining of feeling cold.

When Jiang Yangyi saw that Aunt Wang had returned empty-handed, he knew that she had not been able to get the medicine.

Thinking of the people who robbed them of their silver before, they realized that if their silver hadn't been stolen, they wouldn't be in this predicament where they can't do anything now.

How could he sleep so soundly that he didn't even notice someone stealing his silver?

Jiang Yangyi looked at the people who had robbed him of his silver.

He just saw that someone had a purse on their person, and the purse looked heavy and not light at all.

I just took some silver from that purse and went with the soldiers to make purchases.

Jiang Yangyi lowered his head. He would get his money back the way it was stolen.

At night, when it got dark, only a few bonfires were lit for warmth.

Jiang Yangyi looked at the people over there, but they didn't notice him either.

Jiang Yangyi went to bed early; he wanted to rest first and then take action in the middle of the night.

Aunt Wang has been watching over Jiang Ping, and now she can only hope that Jiang Ping's fever will break on its own.

Unfortunately, Jiang Ping's fever did not subside; instead, her body temperature rose higher and higher, and she began to feel chills in the middle of the night.

The person was unconscious and kept talking incoherently; they couldn't be woken up.

If Jiang Ping doesn't take her medicine, she's afraid she'll get worse.

Aunt Wang looked around; everyone had lay down to rest.

Nobody cares whether they make it through the night.

"Ping'er, hang in there a little longer, Mother will go find you some medicine."

Aunt Wang stood up and walked towards the place where the soldiers were resting.
