Lady Wan Guan

Jiang Wan Ning took a medicinal bath and lay down on the couch while Lin Ruoruo gave her acupuncture.

Qing Xing came in: "Madam, Xiao Pan is back."

"Well, what should I say?"

"Xiao Pan said they are still floating on the street at the moment. The one named Zheng is unwilling to lose money, but he is also reluctant to spend money to rent another house to live in. The inn is full, which makes him laugh to death."

Lin Ruoruo was speechless: "Then Mr. Zheng is too stingy. What's wrong with renting another house to live in? Isn't there rent collection here? I don't want to think about there being a patient around me. Mr. Song has already suffered a stroke, so I'm afraid now The condition is more serious."

Jiang Wan Ning said: "Zheng has such a temperament, she would rather suffer than suffer losses."

The house in Chunhui Lane was rented by her for three years, and she also asked Yahang to raise the rent of the rental house. Zheng didn't want to suffer a loss, so she definitely wouldn't rent it. There were several inns in the capital that still had spare rooms. She He also asked people to book all the empty houses. With money in hand, it would be easier to do things.

She just figured out Zheng's temperament and left their family with nowhere to go.

Doesn't Song Qian like Zheng the most? He gave his heart and soul and his wife's family fortune to Mr. Zheng, and now let him enjoy the "special care" given to him by his most beloved woman!

"They won't be sleeping on the street like this tonight!" Qingxing gloated.

"That's not the case." Jiang Wanning said.

She has informed Zheng Guan that she will patrol the streets tonight.

The pox epidemic had just ended, and no one was allowed to wander the streets at night in the capital, so all the beggars were driven out of the city.

They will have to spend the night in a shelter at least tonight.

He will be driven out of the city early tomorrow morning.

If you want to blame the Song family, let's blame Song Yu. Who made him so evil-minded that he insisted on causing trouble for her.

She could only find a way to get them away.

In the dead of night, two carriages followed by seven or eight servants and women were still wandering on the street.

Song Qian didn't drink any medicine or eat, and his condition was getting worse and worse.

He blamed Zheng vaguely: "Why don't you rent a house?"

Mrs. Zheng also said to the manager of the dental shop: "Sir, do you know how much money we will lose if we go in and out? Even the worst house with only two rooms in it costs sixteen taels per month. It's still remote. There is nothing inside, we have to prepare it ourselves, and the minimum rent is one year, which is not cost-effective, and we can’t stay in the capital for a year.”

"You really want me to die early." Song Qian gritted his teeth.

He regretted that he was blind and thought that her caressing was enough to get by. In the past, Mrs. Zheng's gentle explanations and sweet words were all false. When things came to pass, she didn't care about his life or death at all.

Song Qian couldn't help but think of Yao. Yao was really devoted to him and would never say no to anything he asked for. But he was fascinated by Zheng and never wanted to look at Yao again. He was even extremely angry. dislike.

It was all his fault that Yao was in the current situation. If he hadn't pushed Yao too hard, why would Yao bother to calculate Jiang Wanning's dowry.

At this time, Song Qian felt that the real cause of the Song family's downfall was the Zheng family. It was true that he spoiled his concubines and destroyed his wife, causing trouble to the family.

But it was too late to regret it now. He didn't even know if he could return to Jiangcheng alive.

"Master, don't worry, I don't believe that there is no inn with spare rooms in this huge capital," Zheng said.

Song Qian closed his eyes. He was upset when he saw this poisonous woman. He had to make a deal for himself while he still had breath.

"Stop, who are you?" came a sharp shout.

Song Jing opened the curtain and saw a group of officers and soldiers, who seemed to be from the city patrol department. Song Jing hurriedly got out of the car and bowed his hands: "Master, we are from Jiangcheng. My father is a fellow magistrate of Xuancheng. We are looking for an inn."

"If you don't work as an official in Xuancheng properly, why would you come to the capital from time to time? Do you know that the pox epidemic in the capital has just ended, and you are not allowed to wander the streets at night."

"I know, I can't find the inn for a while!"

"Don't look for the inn. There are still inns that are not full now. Since you are an official, you can go to the inn to stay temporarily. Bring the official seal. We will check it. If it is true, we can send you to the inn."

Song Jing returned to the carriage and asked her father for the official seal.

The official looked at the official seal and said, "Tonight you go to the shelter first. The official seal will be verified by the official department tomorrow before making a decision."

"Ah? Go to the shelter? How is this possible? My father is still sick." Song Jing was surprised.

Aren’t shelters where refugees go?

The officer's face dropped: "You still know that your father is sick? Why did you go there so early? You are relatives of the official family after all, and you are not without money. If you are willing to spend more money, you have already found a place to live, and you can take him away."

The officers and soldiers came forward and drove the Song family to the shelter without explanation.

After everyone left, Zheng Guan walked out of the darkness.

"Thank you, Brother Lu."

The official surnamed Lu said: "Brother Zheng, there's no need to be polite, it's just a little effort."

Zheng Guan handed over a piece of silver and said, "I'm going to buy some wine for my brothers. It's been a hard night."

The man named Lu was not polite and said: "Then I will accept it for my brothers."

That night, the official seal was sent to the Ministry of Personnel. The official on duty in the Ministry of Personnel looked at the seal and said: "This seal is real, but when we were about to take it back, that person was no longer a Xuancheng Tongzhi. He had been demoted." As the magistrate of Jiangcheng, oh by the way, he should have gone to Jiangcheng to take office at this time, why are he still staying in the capital? We will drive people out of the city tomorrow."

Song Qian has become famous in the official department recently. Everyone knows his deeds and despises him very much. This official believes that if Song Qian does not go to Jiangcheng to take office, he must come to the capital to move around, so he cannot be allowed to do so. Stay in the capital.

After receiving the reply from the officials, the man surnamed Lu had no worries at all.

The Song family was imprisoned in a shelter. There were beggars in the shelter. They were all smelly. Some were picking their noses, picking their feet, and some were sleeping. They were snoring loudly and drooling. It was as disgusting as you want. nausea.

The Song family huddled in a corner, without beds, only tattered straw mats.

Song Jing couldn't help complaining to her mother: "It's all you who insists on worrying about those few taels of silver. Now, you are reduced to being among beggars. It is a shame and humiliation. If word spreads, everyone will laugh to death."

Zheng herself couldn't bear it and said weakly: "I'll rent a house tomorrow."

Song Yun begged for some water to feed her father. Seeing that her father's eyes had completely lost their former look and majesty and were lifeless, Song Yun felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry.

Her mother has gone crazy, and her brother cannot be relied upon. If her father is gone, who can she rely on?

They finally waited until dawn, when the official who had brought them here arrived.

"Your name is Song Qian, right? Your official seal has been taken back by the officials. By order of the officials, you will be driven out of the city today."

Song Yu jumped up in shock: "I have something to do in Beijing, so I won't leave."

Bang, the man surnamed Lu raised his hand and slapped Song Yu in the face. The slap made Song Yu's head buzz and half of his face was numb.

"It's not up to you." The man named Lu said coldly.
