Chapter 4. If it weren't for you, you unlucky wretch, w

, Jiaojiao will definitely not stand idly by after she receives the news.""When we see her, let's have her prepare some ointment for her husband and father so they can recover quickly."She mainly stil...For officials, they are tasked with delivering criminals to the remote lands within a specified period. Failure to do so will result in punishment for them.

Once he was sure no one else was coming to deliver anything, the official waved his whip and drove everyone away.

The eldest followed at the back, especially Song Jiuchí carrying Song Jiuyuan on his back. The young man was only fifteen now, and usually pampered, but he was panting heavily right now.

"Jiūchí, wait for me."

Ginger took advantage of the official's inattention and softly called out to Song Jiuchili, but he greatly disliked Ginger, so his steps unconsciously quickened, ignoring her.

On the other side, Song Jiuli was Song Jich's dragon and phoenix sister. She was supporting Song's mistress at this moment and didn't pay any attention to her.

It seems that no one in the Song family liked the original owner.

But Jiang Wan couldn't bear to see the original owner's savior bleed to death, so she quickened her pace to catch up with Song Jiuci.

Then quickly shoved a bottle of golden wound medicine into Song Jiubian's hand and whispered:

"When you have a break, quietly put some medicine on, okay"

If he is dragged any further, Song Jiubian might bleed to death.

Who knows what you have in mind!

Song Jiuchi retorted, "Maybe she loves him so much that she wants to kill her older brother out of hatred."

Song Jiuli also sneered, "Yes, if it weren't for you, this unlucky star, we definitely wouldn't have been exiled!"

"Shut up!"

Madam Song, who had been silently weeping, suddenly rebuked her own children. She glanced at Song Jiubian, who was half-conscious, with a look of concern and said:

"You all know the situation at our place. Is this the time for infighting"

Although she dislikes Ginger, the daughter-in-law who married into the family through underhanded means, she is willing to follow her into exile. She does have a newfound respect for her.

Although even if Ginger Wan wasn't willing to come, she would be brought by the Emperor's men after all. Those people didn't know that Ginger Wan and Song Jiuyuan had never consummated their marriage, and they were worried that Ginger Wan's stomach might contain Song family's bloodline.

"Mother, don't you dislike her either"

Song Jiuli curled her lips. Her handsome and dashing older brother had to marry this scheming woman, Jiang Wan. It was truly a flower stuck in manure!

But she truly likes your brother.

Song Dajie sighed. Their family wasn't what it used to be. Although Ginger was difficult, she genuinely loved Jiubian, and she could bear it.

Song Jiuli reluctantly curled her lips, disapproving of her mother's words. Who knows, perhaps in the past she admired Big Brother's identity

But when the officers saw them chatting, they whipped their whips on the ground, scaring Song Jiuli to scream and dare not speak again.

What frightened them even more was that a young boy at the front said he couldn't go on and wanted to rest for a while, but was severely whipped by an officer.

"I've only walked a few steps and I want to rest already!!!"

The officer without hesitation whipped them again, this was clearly meant to make an example of them, scaring the rest into not daring to move.

"Awoo awoo awoo."

The young man was beaten bloody, and he didn't dare to speak again. He could only grit his teeth and hurry on his way.

Ginger Wan walked at the back, silent. After another hour or so, she noticed that Song Jiuxi's legs were trembling slightly. He was afraid to speak for fear of being punished, so he could only bite his lip and persevere.

Okay, the official at the head finally stopped. The lead officer's name was Ren. Ren Bangfaced said:

"Take a break and have lunch here!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the crowd, whose steps had been shaky, dared to rest, one by one collapsing in exhaustion onto the ground. A vast throng of people, it was quite a sight.

Ginger glanced at the drowsy Song Jiubian and kindly reminded him, “That golden wound medicine is something I specifically saved, it’s not poisonous.”

"Jiǔchí, give your big brother some!"

Song Dalian had made her decision. They had no medicine, and there was nowhere else they could go.

She can't just stand by and watch her son struggle like this. If Jiang Wan dares to scheme against her son, she will definitely not let her get away with it!

Song Jiuchil hesitated, at this time the always dizzy Song Jiuyuan weakly opened his mouth, "Put it on for me."

Although he didn't trust Ginger Wan, a woman with considerable cunning, he believed that to Ginger Wan, he was still very important. Without him, these people would have no hope of returning to the capital.

Song Jiuchí, upon hearing this, reluctantly changed his position to block the officials' view, and quickly sprinkled the golden wound medicine onto his wounds.

Jiang Wan looked, her brows furrowed. A wound like this wasn't treated properly; it could easily get infected. But given the circumstances at the moment, there seemed to be no other option.

What surprised Jiang Wan even more was that even though he was in agonizing pain, Song Jiubian didn't even wrinkle his brow. Such a strong person was indeed admirable.

Just as I was lost in thought, an officer brought over several dark-colored steamed buns, one for each person. This was their lunch - a black and unremarkable bun.

Those who had always lived a life of luxury and ease had never suffered such hardships before, and each one of them looked miserable.

"This... how can you possibly eat this"

"My former stable boy used to eat better than this!"

My throat hurts so much, I can't eat anymore.

"...

"

The young masters and misses, who haven't truly tasted hardship yet, are still in the mood to complain.

Even Shen Qian specially took out the package prepared for her by her in-laws. She took out a gold hairpin and gave it to the official, in exchange for their second and third houses to eat white flour steamed buns.

Whether Shen Qian did it intentionally or unintentionally, she left their main house.

Others followed suit, but their eldest brother just sat there in silence, with everyone else doing the same.

Song Jiuli was young, and she found herself quite taken with their white steamed buns. She cautiously glanced at Song's mistress.

"Mother."

She is so hungry, she's tired and hungry.

"Lier, mother has no silver on her person."

Mrs. Song's face was flushed with embarrassment. Compared to Ginger Wǎn's ruthlessness, Mrs. Song had no family to rely on. This was also the reason why the old madam favored the second and third houses in the past.

Upon hearing this, Song Jiuli again looked at Jiang Wan with a hint of complaint and muttered in a low voice, "It would be so much better if Shen Qian were my sister-in-law."

Now she can eat white flour steamed buns.

As long as your big brother agrees, it's not impossible!

Jiang Wan immediately sneered, "She tolerates Song Jiu-yuan because the original owner owes him a favor, but she doesn't have to tolerate others!"

Indeed, Song Jiuli was so angry she wanted to scratch Hua Jiangwan's face, but she was pulled back by her elder sister, Song Dagu.

"Li'er, do you also want to be whipped"

Along the way, if anyone dares to cause trouble, the officials won't show mercy. After all, they are no longer the powerful and influential figures they once were.

Song Jiuli was warned by Song Daniu's mother, and then she stopped talking. Jiang Wan felt relieved in her heart. At least there was a reasonable elder like the old lady here, otherwise, her fist would have been hard.

Thinking this way, she quietly reached out from the space and took out a piece of broken silver. She then walked a few steps to an officer's face.

"Sir, may I change two water sacs"

That official didn't expect to find silver in Ginger's hand. But this water pouch was cheap, not worth that much silver. He considered it a good deal, and immediately agreed with a stern face.

Okay.

After handing over two new water skins to Jiang Wan, she observed that she preferred replacing the water skins rather than the food. The crowd, who had never experienced hardship, began to ridicule her, especially led by Shen Qian.

"To exchange water sacs for food when you have silver Your brain must be filled with ginger! You're sick!" gave an evaluation, having gone through these days of hardship, he seems to have matured a lot."Song Jiuli, put away your foolish kindness."Song Jiubian's sarcastic words made Song Jiuli's face flush...
