Chapter 202: Cannon Fodder in the Confiscated Property and Exile Story 7
The medicine has arrived today.
Jiang Ping felt the medicine smelled very bitter.
This Chinese medicine is too bitter.
Jiang Ping took a sip and felt nauseous. Why was it so bitter?
I don't know how I managed to drink such bitter medicine yesterday.
Jiang Ping felt that her throat no longer hurt and her head was not so dizzy anymore.
The cold is almost gone, so it's okay if I don't take the medicine.
Jiang Ping didn't want to drink it, so she told the maid to pour the medicine away.
The maid was new. Jiang Ping told her to throw the medicine away without saying anything, and then picked up the medicine and walked out.
At the door, they ran into Aunt Wang, who had come to visit Jiang Ping.
Aunt Wang stopped the maid who was carrying the medicine out.
Jiang Ping was quite happy to see Aunt Wang come to visit her.
Aunt Wang treated her very well and cared for her, and would even bring her delicious food.
Jiang Ping looked behind Aunt Wang, wondering what delicious food she had brought today.
The result was a bowl of medicine.
Didn't someone take this medicine and throw it away?
"Ping'er, you need to take your medicine to get better. Be a good girl and take your medicine, okay?"
Aunt Wang brought over the medicine, intending to personally feed Jiang Ping the medicine.
Looking at the bowl of medicine, Jiang Ping felt nauseous thinking about the taste she had just experienced.
"Auntie, this medicine is too bitter."
"It's not bitter. You won't feel the bitterness if you drink it all in one go."
Seeing that Jiang Ping was unwilling to drink, Aunt Wang picked up the bowl herself and took a sip.
Ugh, this medicine tastes so bitter.
I really can't drink it.
Aunt Wang really wanted to vomit, but after looking at Jiang Ping, she swallowed it back down.
Aunt Wang had someone prepare some candied fruit.
"Ping'er, your aunt has prepared some candied fruit for you, and I've also made some delicious red date cake for you. Now, drink your medicine."
Jiang Ping had no choice but to drink the medicine.
I feel so bitter.
I ate several candied fruits before I recovered.
I don't think red date cake tastes that good anymore.
That evening, Jiang Ping really didn't want to drink anymore. She secretly poured the medicine away.
Anyway, I only have a little runny nose and cough.
Even without taking medicine, it will get better in a couple of days.
Anyway, she used to not take medicine when she caught a cold, and she would get better in a week.
That night, a maid secretly opened the window of Jiang Ping's room.
The maid was instructed by Jiang Yu to prolong and worsen Jiang Ping's illness.
The maid secretly opened the window at night, letting Jiang Ping feel the cold wind.
I closed the window again in the morning so no one would know.
Jiang Ping felt her throat was sore again.
My nose is stuffy, and I feel a little dizzy.
How did it get so serious again?
Could it be because I didn't take my medicine last night?
Is this body's resistance really that poor?
Will I not get better if I don't take the medicine?
That's really too weak.
Jiang Ping felt terrible, like she was back to the same uncomfortable state she had on the first day.
This time, when the maid brought the medicine, she didn't mind the bitterness and drank it all down in one gulp.
Jiang Ping felt dizzy, so she lay down on the bed to rest.
News came from the palace that the eldest prince had won in the end.
The third prince was defeated.
All the traitors and rebels have been executed.
The new emperor ascended the throne, not wanting to commit too many atrocities, but in the world of the victors and the vanquished, his entire family was exiled.
The Prime Minister's residence also contained other officials who participated in the rebellion; all of them had their homes confiscated and were exiled.
Upon hearing the news, the old lady collapsed to the ground.
The Third Prince lost.
The prime minister was beheaded.
The Third Prince's wife was imprisoned forever along with the Third Prince.
The Prime Minister's residence is finished.
The gates of the Prime Minister's residence are now guarded by soldiers, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.
Soon someone will come to confiscate our property, and everyone will be exiled.
It is already a testament to the Emperor's mercy that we were spared from death.
Otherwise, if the charge of treason were leveled against the Prime Minister's household, it would be a capital offense punishable by beheading.
Both the first and second wives' families were in chaos, and it was difficult to accept the situation.
Why are we suddenly being exiled?
Everyone came to the old lady's courtyard, asking if the news was true. What should they do?
Upon receiving the news, the third branch of the family paid the monthly wages to the several nannies and gave each of them an additional ten taels of silver.
When the Prime Minister's mansion was raided and the Prime Minister was to be exiled, the servants in the mansion would not be exiled with him.
Instead, they would go to other places to continue serving as slaves.
Having been mistress and servant, I hope they find a good place to go in the future.
The four servants left the courtyard to pack their belongings at their own quarters.
When the soldiers come to ransack their homes, they might not have time to clean up and might be kicked out directly.
This prompted servants in other places to start planning for their own future as well.
The Prime Minister's mansion is finished.
Some even secretly took a few inconspicuous pieces of jewelry from their master's jewelry box when the master was not around.
Since their property is going to be raided anyway, they might as well let them have it.
With the servants gone, and knowing she would be exiled, Madam Sun began to put her belongings, which she had already prepared, into her spatial storage.
They mainly brought valuables, along with some inconspicuous clothing.
As for those gorgeous clothes, there's no chance to wear them anymore, so there's no need to bring them.
You don't need to bring anything flashy.
The place of exile they were sent to must have been quite poor, and since they were exiled after their homes were confiscated, there were certain things that couldn't be brought there.
Sun changed her clothes, into the kind of top and bottom that ordinary people wear.
I changed into a pair of comfortable cloth shoes.
She was dressed in a disheveled and grimy manner, looking no different from any other ordinary woman outside.
She removed her conspicuous jewelry and replaced it with a set of inconspicuous silver jewelry.
Exquisite jewelry is easily stolen by soldiers, while this inconspicuous jewelry might be preserved.
That way, we can handle things if something happens.
After all, what's inside the space is hidden and cannot be seen by others.
There has to be something tangible about it.
They redid Jiang He's makeup and made her look smeared with ash on her fair face.
The clothes he wore were also rather unfashionable.
Sun was worried that some officers and soldiers might have ill intentions and try to take advantage of the situation.
If you dress up in an unattractive way, you're less likely to be targeted.
These were all purchased by Mrs. Sun yesterday.
I originally just thought of it as a precaution, but I didn't expect to need it today.
Sun also prepared a set of convenient clothes for Jiang Haoyun.
Jiang Haoyun also changed into it immediately.
Kua Sunshi's thoughtfulness was commendable, even though it might seem like she had lost face for the third young master of the Prime Minister's mansion.
However, its advantage lies in its safety, as it is not easily noticed.
Now that the Prime Minister's mansion is finished, there's nothing more to say about his title as the Third Young Master.
It's just that they, mother and daughter, have to suffer with him.
Jiang Haoyun asked Sun to prepare some silver notes and loose silver, and they tried to hide some on their bodies.
If they are wearing shackles or chains, they can have them removed by spending some money to buy drinks for the soldiers.
That way you'll suffer less.
There may also be some county towns encountered during the exile journey.
Spending a little money can buy some supplies.
Once you arrive at the place of exile, you'll need money to settle down there.
It's best to carry as much silver as possible; you'll always find a use for it.
However, it must be hidden well. If it is exposed, the soldiers who are confiscating your property are not to be trifled with and will let you take the silver away.
