Xing'er was among the maids and servants who were ordered to see her off. She didn't stand out. She was wearing a dusty thick cotton coat and holding a bundle in her arms.
When Song Mingyuan looked over, her eyes lit up, her face turned red and she waved to her. She seemed to be in good spirits.
Mrs. Lu's second wife and Mrs. Lu's third wife's natal families both sent people. It was not convenient for the elders to come forward, so they could only watch in the dark, while the female relatives came to say goodbye.
Mrs. Lu’s fourth wife’s family sent two maids to deliver things, but Mrs. Lu’s fifth wife’s family never showed up.
Song Mingyuan looked at her, but saw that her face was calm, as if she was indifferent to these things, and her pure and beautiful face had a somewhat otherworldly air.
All the ladies of the Lu family are undoubtedly beautiful, and they are each beautiful in their own way.
Mrs. Lu's wife, Mrs. Zhou, has a dignified atmosphere cultivated by a wealthy family. Mrs. Lu's second wife, Mrs. Feng, is as gentle as a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Mrs. Lu's third wife, Mrs. Qin, is in line with the Lu family. She has a kind of noble girl from aristocratic family. Some heroic spirit.
Mrs. Lu's fourth wife, the Xu family, was born in Xiuhuizhong's Xiaojia Biyu. She was the lowest born among the ladies. She was the concubine of Pingkangbo Mansion and was not welcomed by her mistress.
The life experience of Mrs. Xie, the fifth wife of Lu Wu, is much more complicated. She is the legitimate daughter of the Xie family of the Zhongwu Marquis Mansion, and she was engaged to Mr. Lu Wu when she was a child.
But as fate would have it, it was discovered that she had been mistakenly identified at the age of Ji Ji, and overnight she went from being a distinguished concubine to the adopted daughter of the Hou family, a person with an embarrassing identity.
In order to make up for their debt to their own daughter, the Marquis and his wife deliberately alienated her. It was supposed to be the time to discuss marriage with the Lu family, but because the real Miss Hou family also fell in love with the fifth master, the marriage was delayed. for three years.
It was Mrs. Lu and Fifth Master Lu who had a firm stance, so they had no choice but to relent, but this also resulted in a stalemate in their relationship.
No one came to see her off at this moment, presumably the relationship between Mrs. Lu Wu and the Zhongwu Marquis Mansion had not yet eased.
When someone comes to deliver things to the exiled criminals, the officials are naturally happy to see it happen. The more things the criminals have on them, the more money they can make from this trip.
Therefore, it is rare to show mercy and give them some time to say goodbye to their loved ones.
Myolie quietly handed the money that Song Mingyuan had given her yesterday to the officer, pointed in the direction of Song Mingyuan, said a few words and was let off.
There were six other maids and wives like her, but compared to Xing'er who looked happy, most of them were like heirs.
The road to exile is extremely difficult. It's so cold and freezing, and it's so far away. Who would be willing to follow and serve!
Mrs. Lu's second wife and Mrs. Lu's third wife's natal family also arranged for them to have maids and servants to take care of them along the way, but they refused on the grounds that their future was uncertain and they did not want to involve innocent people.
The Lu family members felt comfortable accepting the person.
As soon as Xing'er ran to the lady, she took out the meat buns she had just bought from a street stall from the bundle she was holding.
"Miss, here! I know you haven't had breakfast, so I brought you steamed buns. They're still warm. Eat them quickly!"
Song Mingyuan took it and didn't forget to give two to each of the Lu family. Xing'er's heart ached when she saw it, but when she thought about how the Lu family had just come forward to help the young lady...
Anyway, it’s not like I can’t give this meat bun.
Song Mingyuan carried Xing'er's baggage and passed it around. If the buns were not enough, he would take them out from the space. When they were cold, he would throw them into the space and replace them with hot ones. After one operation, not only were the buns not missing, but there were a few more.
Mrs. Lu has already seen what she is capable of, and it can be seen that she is still worried when she takes out freshly baked hot buns in public.
This silly girl, if they are hungry for a meal or two, nothing big will happen, and they can actually eat just fine if they are cold, so why do they think they are so delicate?
But seeing Song Mingyuan's expressionless look, she didn't dare to speak. Yuanyuan's smile was so sweet, and his serious face was so scary.
It’s also nice to be nice to them.
Mrs. Lu smiled and narrowed her eyes. The warmth radiated from the buns spread to the bottom of her heart, and her heart, which had just been cold due to the coldness of the people, warmed up.
When it was Lu Peifeng's turn, she thought he was injured, so Song Mingyuan gave him one more.
Lu Peifeng stared at her with dark eyes and said very sincerely and seriously: "Thank you."
She said expressionlessly: "You deserve it."
No need to thank her. If the Lu family could be a little more bad, she would be able to abandon them immediately with peace of mind.
"..."
Seeing her vengeful and awkward look, Lu Peifeng's mouth curved slightly. This subtle expression did not escape Song Mingyuan's eyes, and she immediately received a glare.
What a joke!
Lu Peifeng calmed down a little, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What happened last night?"
My family knew very well that if it hadn't been for what happened last night, they wouldn't have been so completely subdued by someone they had only been with for a day.
Others can forget it, but just now even the cold-tempered fifth aunt personally set a trap for Song Mingyan, which is really rare.
You know, she usually only cares about fifth uncle and grandma.
Song Mingyuan casually took out a bun and handed the bundle back to Xing'er, "Someone poisoned the food sent by Ning Guo's servants and wanted to use the knife to kill people and poison us."
Lu Peifeng's long eyes suddenly seemed to have been tempered with ice. His eyes were deep, his sword eyebrows were cold, and the cold murderous intent poured out, as threatening as a blade.
In just a moment, all the chilling aura tempered by the thousands of troops was restrained.
At this moment, the eyes looking at Song Mingyuan were more solemn: "I will never thank you for your kindness. When the Lu family reaches the place of exile safely, I, Lu Yanqing, will be at your disposal."
Needless to say, Lu Peifeng knew that Song Mingyuan saved them last night.
He had taken advantage of her in this transaction, so there was nothing wrong with him working for her to repay her kindness.
Song Mingyuan said, "Just listen to my orders on the way, and forget it when you get to the place of exile!"
"……OK."
As soon as the Lu family finished eating their buns, the officials escorting the exiled prisoners began to urge them on their way.
Giving them a stick of incense to say goodbye to their relatives and friends is one of the few tolerances they have. When they see someone dragging their feet, they no longer tolerate it and just raise a whip to slap them.
"hurry up!"
Driven by the officials, the group rushed out of the city gate, fearing that they would be whipped if they fell one step behind.
When they walked some distance away and looked back at the distant city wall, they suddenly realized that they were really leaving the capital.
From then on, he was prohibited from entering Beijing for the rest of his life.
Not allowed to enter Beijing for life...
I don’t know if it was because of fear and confusion about the future, but some people were crushed and cried, "It is Lu Feng and the others who are treasonous, why do we have to take the blame together!"
"It's all your fault for the good son raised by your Lu family! He's not a good general, he's not enjoying the glory and wealth, he has to have something to do with Xi Chu!"
"What are you doing wrong? Why are you doing such an unfaithful and unjust thing? You want the whole clan to be buried with you. The place of exile is a place of cannibalism!"
Being branded as criminals, their descendants will never get ahead!
All the promotions of becoming generals and prime ministers, promotions and nobility, all gone!
