Chapter 4
Compared to the chaos in the palace, Ye Qingran was in a good mood when he left, humming a little tune all the way.
Passing by a vendor selling candied haws on a stick, she threw two copper coins, bought back two and handed them to Hongxing, "Don't look depressed, leave the palace, our good life has just begun!" Hongxing hesitated to speak. , I just thought that the Queen had been stimulated and was a little mentally disturbed. She turned back and looked at the guards following from the palace, "We have to go outside the city to meet the general."
"Correct!"
Ye Qingran remembered and bought a few more candied haws in his hand, preparing to give his parents and brothers a meeting gift.
On the eaves of the capital city, the man with the dog's tail grass in his mouth was always following Ye Qingran. With a smile on his face, he fiddled with the jade plaque engraved with the word "Chu" in his hand, "It's getting more and more interesting. .”
The scorching summer has passed, but the weather is much hotter than at this time of year.
The family members of the General's Mansion, as well as the family members of many civil servants and generals who spoke for the General in the court, were standing in the open space outside the city. Many of the female family members could no longer bear the scorching sun. Those who glanced at the General's Mansion murmured secretly, "When can we set off? This is really... fatal!"
When Ye Guodong heard their complaints, his dark face blushed with embarrassment.
At the city gate, Ye Qingran walked out briskly, waved to them, and shouted in a sweet and friendly voice, "Dad! Mother, brother! Sister! I'm here!" Her attitude surprised everyone. They were all surprised.
The story of the eldest daughter of the general's palace being infatuated with the emperor has been compiled into countless storybooks and circulated among the people.After being demoted and deposed as the empress, everyone thought that she would cry until her eyes became swollen, or she would cry until she couldn't walk steadily, but now it seems that she is still looking forward to it!
"It's all you!"
"Why are you so slow! Keep everyone waiting!"
Ye Zhuoyu stared at her and scolded her unceremoniously.His tone was stern. Any other woman might have cried in public, but Ye Qingran raised her hand, pushed the candied haws in front of him and asked, "I wasted a while buying it on the way."
"Would you like to eat it? It's quite sweet."
"Who wants your stuff!"
Ye Zhuoyu waved his hand, and the candied haws in Ye Qingran's hand fell to the ground. Both of them were stunned.
"It's not my fault that you didn't hold it steady!"
In the past, Ye Qingran would have definitely burst into tears. Ye Zhuoyu looked back at Ye Guodong with a guilty conscience, and hurriedly excused himself from the relationship.Ye Qingran nodded, bent down to pick up the candied haws, blew it on the dust, and handed it to Hongxing and said, "Rinse it with water later. If you pick it up after falling on the ground for three seconds, you can still eat it. No." dirty."
"Brother, the journey of exile from now on will not be as good as the days in the capital. People who are short of food and clothing need to live a more careful life." Ye Qingran warned her like a sister. This abnormal behavior made him a little strange. He stretched his neck and put his hand on Ye Qingran's forehead, "Are you crazy due to stimulation?"
My forehead is still cold, so I don't think I have a fever.
Ye Zhuoyu breathed a sigh of relief, but still kept a straight face.
It’s no wonder that the original owner made the whole family restless because of the dog emperor. He went on a hunger strike and hanged himself, forcing Ye Guodong to take sides and openly support the current emperor and the former prince in the court. Ye Guodong once said that day, the prince has a small belly, chicken intestines, and a penny. A good match, but Ye Qingran, who came out of Yaowang Valley, didn't understand anything, so he was sure of it all.
Ye Guodong, who loved his daughter to no end, could only agree and ended up where he is today.
"I think dad should let you continue to stay in Yaowang Valley. He shouldn't let you come back and always bring trouble to the family." Ye Qinglian crossed her arms and frowned, standing at her from a distance and looking at her, "Broom Star, unlucky!"
Ye Guodong heard her say this and scolded in a low voice, "Why are you talking to your sister?"
"Apologize!"
Ye Qinglian didn't expect that her father was still protecting Ye Qingran at this moment, and immediately stamped her feet with red eyes, "She was the one who caused us to do this! Dad, you are partial!" She pouted aggrievedly and looked at Ye Qingran's eyes became even more resentful.
Ye Qingran searched his memory and matched the girl in front of him who was % similar to him with the original owner of the memory.
Ye Qinglian is the half-sister of the original owner. She was raised in the General's Mansion since she was a child. She used to live a life surrounded by stars. Until Ye Qingran came back from Yaowang Valley, the General and his wife felt guilty for not raising their daughter properly for many years. He took responsibility for her, so he obeyed her and ignored Ye Qinglian.The favor of the General's Mansion was tilted towards the original owner, and Ye Qinglian, who felt ignored, was extremely disgusted with the original owner with his cross nose and raised eyes.
"Here, sister brought you some rouge and gouache from the palace. They are all good things!" Ye Qinglian felt that she had indeed been wronged because of the original owner.
Ye Qingran fumbled for a few pieces of rouge from his arms, and Ye Qinglian turned around and threw them to the river, "Who wants your dirty things!"
The farce in the General's Mansion left no room for anyone to interrupt. They could only watch with gossip and curiosity, and exchange expressions with each other. Ye Qingran frowned, not wanting to bring family matters to the table for people to discuss, so he didn't continue.
"General, now that we are all here, we should get on the road."
The officers and soldiers escorting them into exile happened to come over with heavy wooden shackles and signaled Ye Guodong to raise his hands.Ye Zhuoyu looked to the side with a cold snort and said in a loud voice: "What's the use of this thing? If dad and I want to run away, who of you will be our opponent? But they are all defeated by the General's Mansion!"
"Your Majesty, we are acting under orders, so please be considerate."
The officers and soldiers looked easy to talk, but in fact their actions did not stop at all.
The female family members of the General's Mansion were also tied up with shackles and chains. The chains weighed two kilograms, and they could not walk without being dragged.The midday sun was shining overhead, burning the delicate skin of the women. After walking for a while, it became unbearable. She pointed to her red arm and asked, "Can you take a break?"
"This chain is too heavy! My wrists are worn out!"
Ye Qinglian looked at her father with a tearful voice, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Sorry, we've only walked a mile."
The officers and soldiers were a little impatient, and their tone gradually became harsh.
The group of people continued northward slowly, not knowing who started first, and the whispers gradually became louder. "If it weren't for some people's involvement, we would still be having a lunch break in the house right now! My feet are already blistered! Look at my daughter's arms, they are about to shed their skin! How can we live like this? ? Some people are really... harmful to people!"
some people?
She might as well point to her nose and name them!
Ye Qingran looked back and found that her second aunt was gouging her with her eyes, but she couldn't hide the hatred in her eyes.
She retrieved the memory of the original owner and laughed out loud after a while. How could this owner, who came all the way from the countryside to catch the autumn breeze and refused to leave while living in the general's mansion, have the nerve to say this?
