Chapter 247: Mrs. Wen's Dream Returns to Her Past Life

"All the people from the Wen family, kneel where you are and do not move!" the commander of the Yulin Army came in and said majestically.

They walked into the mansion solemnly, with cold light flashing in their eyes. Everyone in the Wen mansion was frightened by the aura before them.

Everyone saw the powerful Yulin Army, and it seemed as if an invisible pressure was spreading in all directions.

They knelt down on the ground involuntarily, their foreheads touching the cold tiles, not daring to breathe.

The hall was solemn and silent; only the sounds of breathing and heartbeats could be heard, as if time had stood still.

The master of the Wen Mansion and his servants looked terrified, and their hearts were filled with helplessness and fear.

The commander of the Yulin Army glanced at everyone coldly. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, revealing ruthlessness and majesty.

Originally, the confiscation of property and exile were not under the jurisdiction of the Yulin Army, but in order to appease Commander Lu, the new emperor gave an oral order to let him bring people to confiscate the Wen family.

At this time, Madam Wen was kneeling in the hall with a haggard face. She could not maintain her previous dignity and composure at all.

She knelt on the ground and whispered, "Son! What crime have you committed?"

Minister Wen's eyes were flashing with pain and regret. His daughter went mad on the spot and made the emperor faint. Even if he was sentenced to death for the entire family, he would have nothing to say.

What's more, the new emperor had just ascended the throne and in order to show his magnanimity, he only sentenced the entire Wen family to confiscation of property and exile. He really had no power to change anything.

When Old Madam Wen saw that her eldest son, whom she had always been proud of, said nothing and looked resigned to his fate.

She fell to the ground and cried in pain: "Excuse me, sir, what crime did my son commit? Let me die knowingly."

Commander Lu sneered, "Listen carefully to me. I will read the imperial edict to you so that you can understand it clearly."

As he spoke, he respectfully opened the imperial edict in his hand: "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Wen Mingzhu, the daughter of Minister Wen, lost her manners in front of the palace and made the Emperor faint.

Minister Wen made a serious mistake in educating his daughter. The entire Wen family is exiled to Lingnan and will leave immediately. This is my decree! "

Commander Lu of the Yulin Army read the imperial edict, handed it to his personal guards and then to Minister Wen, then he waved his hand.

Immediately, countless Yulin soldiers wearing ink-colored armor rushed in, quickly rushed into the inner courtyard of the Wen Mansion, and guarded the gates.

A part of the Yulin Army began to search the Wen Mansion, and all the rooms were turned upside down.

Treasures hidden in every corner were revealed one after another, and during the search, a batch of priceless jewels were found in Madam Wen's bedroom.

When Mrs. Wen saw those jewels, her face turned pale instantly, and she closed her eyes and silently endured the pain in her heart.

This batch of jewels was accumulated by her with great effort over many years, but now she had to watch with her own eyes as the Yulin Army confiscated all of it.

At this moment, the fate of the Wen family changed completely, and everyone fell into despair.

The arrival of the Yulin Army was not only a plunder of their property, but also a trampling of their dignity and freedom.

The whole mansion was in chaos and desolation. Old Madam Wen had empty eyes and a dead heart.

"Sir, I want to see my daughter before I leave." Mrs. Wen placed her hopes on her biological daughter.

Ever since her eldest son was exiled, she had been dreaming intermittently, a beautiful dream.

In the dream, her younger daughter ran away from her marriage, and her husband replaced her with his older daughter to marry into the Eastern Palace. Two years later, the prince ascended the throne, and her daughter became the honorable queen.

The eldest son married the daughter of the Marquis of Zhennan, the eldest daughter of the leader Lu in front of him. Her second son also married a noble lady, and even the illegitimate son of the second uncle of the Wen family married Yun Jiaoniang, the granddaughter of the Minister of Revenue.

The Wen family was extremely prosperous in the capital city, but how could they end up in such a miserable state in reality?
"Madam Wen, you are overthinking. Your daughter and the former crown prince were imprisoned in the clan residence together. This commander does not have the ability to let you two meet."

Commander Lu was leaning on the seat, holding a green-glazed teacup in his left hand and flicking the tea lid with his right hand.

"No, my eldest daughter is the wife of Marquis Weiwu, Wen Qingwan. Please give her a message."

"Yes, yes, this official...I have an older daughter who married the Marquis of Weiwu." Minister Wen reacted immediately.

Although the eldest daughter has severed her relationship with the Wen family, the Weiwu Marquisate is no longer what it used to be. Perhaps the Wen family still has a glimmer of hope.

If she can't help me, don't blame me for being ruthless. Just let her go into exile with the Wen family. I can then use her to exchange for some benefits along the way.

"What did you say?!" Commander Lu, who was sitting at the upper seat drinking tea, suddenly stood up and asked.

He remembered it very clearly. If Marquis Weiwu had not accidentally injured his nephew that day, the former crown prince would not have been able to kill the third prince.

He just couldn't find any fault with Marquis Weiwu. If his wife was a daughter of the Wen family, then...

Commander Lu was very excited inside, but he didn't show it on his face. He looked at Minister Wen and Madam Wen with sharp eyes and eyebrows: "The young lady of the Marquis of Weiwu is gentle and virtuous. How could she be the so-called Wen family in your mouth?"

"In reply to your Excellency, the wife of Marquis Weiwu, Wen Qingwan, is indeed the biological daughter of this criminal." Minister Wen replied with his head lowered.

It's not that he didn't dare to look at Commander Lu, but he didn't dare to let Commander Lu see the calculating expression on his face.

There was a crisp sound, and the teacup in Commander Lu's hand shattered. "Come here, hurry up and go to the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion and ask the Marquis's wife to come over."

Minister Wen and Madam Wen were so frightened that they were shaking like sieves. Their legs were so limp that they turned into a puddle of mud. They could not even kneel steadily and almost fell to the ground.

Commander Lu looked at Minister Wen who was so spineless, suppressed his contempt and shouted: "Come here, put on the shackles!"

The Yulin soldiers waiting outside the hall entered with wooden shackles and put them around the necks of the men in the Wen mansion one by one.

Although they were wooden shackles, they were very heavy, weighing at least thirty kilograms. When the shackles were put on, the men of the Wen family broke out in cold sweats and staggered backwards.

Upon seeing this, the women of the Wen family huddled together, trembling, and some fled in all directions like headless flies.

When Wen Qingwan came in, she saw a chaotic scene. She saw Mrs. Wen with disheveled hair, looking like a crazy woman, but she didn't feel anything.

Having been tempered by her past life, she has long seen through the fickleness of human nature. In both her past and present lives, it was her biological father who gave up on her first.

From now on, the bridge returns to the bridge, the road returns to the road, and we will be strangers in this life and have nothing to do with each other anymore.

Wen Qingwan walked into the hall and asked coldly, "I heard that Madam Wen was looking for me?"

"Wan'er, please find a way to save me. You must have a way. I don't want to have a bleeding..."

"Are you the wife of Marquis Weiwu, the daughter of Wen?" Commander Lu strode up to Wen Qingwan and asked in a stern voice.

"It's true that I am the wife of Marquis Weiwu, but I am no longer from the Wen family..."

Before Wen Qingwan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Commander Lu: "Come here quickly and put on the shackles."

A young Yulin Army soldier walked towards Wen Qingwan, but was so shocked by her beauty that the shackles in his hands fell to the ground.

"Who dares to touch my wife?"
