Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Madam Shen immediately said angrily: "You are just a lowly concubine, it is not your turn to speak here!"

To be honest, it's actually stupid.

Wei Rulan snorted coldly: "We are all prisoners now, no one is nobler than anyone else!"

This sentence hit the Shen family members right in the heart, and they all glared at Wei Rulan.

"Brother, you let a lowly concubine treat your mother like this. Your family has supported you in your education and taught you propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, but have you learned nothing?" Old Master Shen, who had been acting invisible, questioned his eldest son Shen Congwen in a harsh voice.

Shen Congwen had never been accused like this by his father before. He was confused for a moment and had no words to say!

"Brother, we won't say anything about what happened to the Shen family. But because of you, my father and mother have to wander around and suffer hardships in their old age. Now they are being oppressed by a concubine like you. Brother, you are not worthy of being a son!" Shen Congyi came up and accused.

Shen Congwen clenched his fist, raised his hand and slapped Wei Rulan in the face.

"Shut up! Considering that you followed the Shen family into exile and have been doing your best along the way, this slap is a punishment for disrespecting your elders. If you do it again, I will never let you off easily!"

Wei Rulan's eyes were filled with tears as she stared at Shen Congwen. Her voice was filled with grievance and resentment: "They bullied our eldest wife so much, and I stood up for our eldest wife. How dare you do this to me?"

She devoted herself to protecting the first wife and standing up for her, which was a thankless task. Not only was the master ungrateful, but he actually treated her like this?

Wei Rulan's heart grew colder by the second.

Old Madam Shen said with disdain: "What is your status? A lowly concubine. If you were in the capital, you would have been sold out by now!"

Wei Rulan's heart was completely chilled. She put on a self-deprecating smile on her face, walked to the corner and sat down, not saying another word!

The children from the eldest branch of the Shen family all looked at their father expressionlessly. They couldn't understand how their gentle, elegant, wise and intelligent father could have become like this.

Shen Congwen only felt his face burning, and he didn't even dare to look up and look at his children!

"Father, mother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, let's pool our money to buy some water!"

The second wife, Mrs. Liu, pulled Shen Conglian behind her and started to speak sarcastic words.

"Brother, after all, you just can't bear to give us your generous money, right? Don't forget that father and mother are still alive, and the Shen family has not yet split up. The family's money should be given to mother to manage, and the money you left with Lan Xi should also be handed over to mother according to the rules."

Shen Congwen was speechless and subconsciously looked at his children.

All the children turned their heads away, pretending they didn't hear or see that he was in trouble!

"Sister-in-law, even if Lan Xi has money, it is her own money. The money of our eldest wife has been handed over to mother."

The third wife, Miao, also stood up.

"Brother, what you said is not right. Lan Xi will return to our Shen family after the divorce. She is still a member of our Shen family. When she got married, she had a long wedding dress. The dowry alone was 208 pieces. Those were taken out of our Shen family. She is getting a divorce, so the dowry must be returned in full. As long as you are a member of the Shen family, everyone in her hand will have a share of the money!"

Shen Congwen didn't expect that even though he had compromised so much, his family still kept pressing him. Was he wrong?

"If you want money, go and ask for it yourself if you have the guts!" Shen Yuanjing suddenly said.

"Let's see if we make my elder brother angry. Will he abandon us and go back to the capital by himself?"

The Shen family members glared at Shen Yuanjing one by one, but could not utter a word in rebuttal.

After a while, Old Madam Shen was really thirsty. Seeing that everyone else had water to drink but they didn't, she was afraid that the water would be sold out, so she hurriedly asked her sons to pay for it!

"Mother, where do we get the money? Don't you have money on you? Take it out first and use it. When big brother gets the money from Lan Xi, I'll give it all to you!"

"Yes, mother, all the money my eldest brother sent was given to you. We didn't see a penny!"

Old Madam Shen felt so angry that her chest ached as she looked at her sons who kept crying poor.

"You unfilial creatures, if I had known you would be like this, I would have kicked you out of the house long ago!"

No matter how much Madam Shen cursed, no one took out money. Finally, seeing that there was no hope, she had to take out her purse from her wide sleeves.

"Mother, please buy us some water, we are dying of thirst!"

Seeing Old Madam Shen taking out the money, Shen Conglian and his companions immediately surrounded her.

"Get lost. I asked you to pay for water and you all cried poor. Now don't even think about asking me to pay for water. If you want to drink, you have to pay for it yourself!"

After saying this, Madam Shen immediately took the purse and went to find the yamen runner.

At first, the three brothers Shen Conglian just watched, thinking that their mother would not be so cruel and only care about them. It was not until their mother came back empty-handed that they changed their expressions and paid for water with pain.

Soon, people from several rooms of the Shen family had drinks, and only the people from the big room were staring at them eagerly!

"Father, I'm thirsty~"

Shen Congwen looked at his son with chapped lips, gritted his teeth, and went to borrow money from his mother and brothers.

The results can be imagined!

~

Without having to endure the scorching sun, the prisoners rested for a while and recovered their strength. The prisoners who had no money to buy water reported to the yamen runners and began to search the village!

The result is predictable. Those who could be taken away were definitely taken away. However, several bodies were found in the house. Liu Lao Hu analyzed that they were elderly people who could no longer walk. Some of them voluntarily stayed behind and did not want to burden their children. Some were abandoned as a burden.

After this incident, the prisoners were no longer willing to go out looking for the missing person. They found a place to rest and waited for the night to come.

In the blink of an eye, it was night. Liu Lao Hu had already taken people to check the footprints and car tracks, and they were all heading southeast.

Southeast is also the direction of Tianjin, and they happened to be going to Tianjin as well.

"Everyone, get up and go!"

After Liu Lao Hu pinched water to feed the horses, he immediately led the team to set off.

All the yamen runners rode in carriages, and prisoners who could afford the money could also ride in the carriages. Those who could not afford the money had to run behind the carriages.

Now horses are more valuable than human lives!

All the money had been spent on drinking water, and only a few people could afford to ride in a carriage. Only Mrs. Shen and Mr. Shen rode in the carriage, while everyone else ran. Not to mention the eldest wife, they were the poorest in the Shen family!

Some people can hold it in, some can't. After falling down again and again, Shen Yuanruan looked at the wealthy man in the carriage in front who was drinking water from a water bag, and his eyes gradually became crazy.

Father was right, if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. She just didn't want to suffer, she was right!

After running for an hour, the yamen runner asked the horse to stop and rest.

Taking advantage of this time, Shen Yuanruan quietly walked towards the carriage.

Shen Lanxi came out of the carriage holding a stick, climbed onto the horse, and drove the horse to Liu Lao Hu.

"I'll go ahead and explore the way!"

Liu Lao Hu looked at the stick in her hand and nodded silently.
