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

Chapter 203: Cannon Fodder in the Confiscated Property and Exile Story 8

While the third wife was searching for places to hide the silver.

The old lady's courtyard had already been filled with tears once.

The old lady never imagined that after a lifetime of glory, she would have to suffer the pain of having her property confiscated and being exiled at such an advanced age.

If I had known that the eldest prince would eventually ascend the throne, I should have given the Jiang family's daughter to him.

We wouldn't be in this situation now.

The eldest son's family had always been proud that their daughter had become the Third Prince's wife, but little did they expect that this would become the Prime Minister's mansion's death warrant.

The old man was beheaded.

They also faced exile.

The second wife's family had always been competing with the first wife's family.

Because the eldest son's wife was the wife of the third prince, the eldest son's family had always been superior to the second son's family.

The second wife was also considering marrying her daughter to the sixth prince.

But before they could even make contact with the Sixth Prince, their own ship had already sunk.

This is all the fault of the first wife.

If the eldest son's family hadn't become involved with the third prince, the old master wouldn't have chosen to side with the third prince.

Now they've been implicated too.

This is all the fault of the eldest son's wife.

The first wife accused the second wife of also benefiting greatly from it.

Who would only want the benefits without wanting to take the risks?

The two sides then started blaming and cursing at each other.

The old lady got a headache from the noise and finally came to terms with reality.

They're facing imminent disaster, and they're still arguing here.

Since we're about to be exiled, we should hurry and leave ourselves some options before they raid our homes.

The old lady would actually prefer to issue an imperial edict to have the entire Prime Minister's residence beheaded.

That would be as simple as slitting one's throat.

Now that he's been exiled, who knows where he'll end up to suffer a miserable life.

We still have to travel over mountains and rivers to get there.

The old lady secretly favored the second wife's family.

Because the second branch of the family has a legitimate grandson.

This matter is related to the first wife's family again. Even though the first wife's family is also a victim, she still feels uneasy about it.

I don't want to see them right now; I'll tell them to go back and pack their things.

Bring as much silver as you can.

The old lady asked her most beloved grandson, Jiang Yangxu, to stay.

Ask him to bring his jewelry box.

Upon opening the box, it was discovered that several pieces of jewelry were missing.

All the expensive jewelry was gone, leaving only a few worthless trinkets.

Someone actually stole her things.

The old lady never expected that there would be such a wicked person in her courtyard.

Seeing the old lady's face change drastically and noticing that there were only some broken items in the box, Jiang Yangxu knew that his grandmother had been robbed.

Jiang Yangxu was also very angry.

He knew that his grandmother kept him on because she wanted to give him good things to rely on.

His grandmother doted on him from childhood to adulthood.

He didn't know which thief had stolen his things.

But by this time, the servants in the mansion were already in chaos.

Who will catch the thief?

I'm afraid they're all thieves.

These things will be confiscated.

It's pointless for them to go to all that trouble to catch the thief.

More thieves will come later.

The old lady sighed.

Open the hidden compartment at the bottom of the box.

Fortunately, the banknotes inside were still there.

The old lady took out all the silver notes and handed them to Jiang Yangxu, telling him to hide them.

There are five thousand taels of silver notes here. If they can take all of these notes with them, their journey will be much easier.

Jiang Yangxu was excited to see such a stack of silver notes.

The top one has a face value of five taels.

"Grandmother, this silver note only contains five taels?"

"Yes, there are five taels, ten taels, twenty taels, and various other denominations here."

Keep the larger denominations of one hundred taels or more safe and use them when you reach your place of exile.

Those small denominations are used on the road.

The old lady told Jiang Yangxu to hurry up and hide the silver notes.

She put all these banknotes in there herself, and no one knew about this secret compartment.

After hearing what the old lady said, Jiang Yangxu didn't ask any more questions and went to hide the silver notes.

His grandmother still loved him and gave him five thousand taels of silver.

After Jiang Yangxu left, Madam Lai wore as much jewelry as possible.

The remaining jewelry wasn't very valuable.

But it's better than wearing nothing at all.

The soldiers who were raiding the house arrived.

The officers and soldiers arrested anyone they saw and moved anything they saw outside.

The officers and soldiers were very excited; this was the Prime Minister's residence, and there must be many good things here.

When confiscating property, the officers and soldiers would take a 10% cut; this was a customary practice.

They didn't leave any room untouched, and moved everything away.

Everyone felt heartbroken and helpless as they watched their belongings being moved away one by one.

But they didn't dare to step forward and stop them.

If they dare to stop them, then that would truly be disobeying orders.

Moreover, everyone was hiding something on their person and dared not approach the officers and soldiers, for fear of being discovered.

Jiang Ping lay in bed. It was so noisy outside today.

It sounded like people were running around a lot just now, and now it's even noisier, and I think I heard someone kicking the door.

Jiang Ping opened her eyes and saw a group of soldiers rushing in.

"Who are you? Who let you in? Get out!"

Jiang Ping thought she was full of energy, but her voice was hoarse and she looked sickly tired.

Upon hearing this, the officers sneered, "What? Don't you know that the Prime Minister's residence has been ransacked and he has been exiled? If you don't know, go out and see for yourself."

Without saying a word, the officers and soldiers began moving things out of the room.

Jiang Ping was stunned when she heard the news that the Prime Minister's mansion had been raided and the Prime Minister had been exiled.

Confiscating property and exile?

What heinous crime has the Prime Minister's family committed? Why are they facing confiscation of their property and exile? Is this some kind of rebellion?

She hasn't even enjoyed the treatment of a young lady from the Prime Minister's mansion yet, and she's already being exiled?

What an unlucky and tragic time travel experience!

Jiang Ping regretted it; she wished she hadn't time-traveled.

Jiang Ping ran out; she needed to figure out what was going on.

The officers and soldiers ignored Jiang Lian.

Anyway, there are guards at the door, so there's no way to escape.

They can just relax and move their things.

However, this person's courtyard was far too poor; compared to the courtyard they had just visited, it was nowhere near as good.

However, the results so far today have been quite good.

Such a remote courtyard must not belong to anyone important in the Prime Minister's residence, so it's normal that it's poor.

The third house was also searched.

The group rushed into each room and carried out their belongings.

"No unauthorized personnel, all of you, go and wait in the front yard."

Perhaps because the three of them were dressed too plainly and looked like ordinary people, the soldiers mistook them for servants and sent them to the front yard.

The three of them left the courtyard without saying a word and walked towards the front yard.

After Jiang Ping woke up, she didn't see anyone else.

Aunt Wang was the only person she felt familiar with here.

Moreover, Aunt Wang's courtyard was right next to hers.

At this point, she could only go to Aunt Wang to find out what had happened.

Jiang Ping ran to Aunt Wang's courtyard.

By this time, Aunt Wang's courtyard had been emptied.

Aunt Wang is not here.

Jiang Ping then went to other places.

Suddenly, they discovered that all the courtyards were empty, and no one was there.

Jiang Ping followed the sound and found her way to the front yard.

The place is packed with people; everyone from the Prime Minister's residence is here.
