Volume 1 Xiao Yuanba Chapter 8 Strict order under the Chen family(2/2)

"Oh, it's not easy for grandma. It's such a pity that your family has such a fate!"

Mrs. Lao didn't want to get involved anymore, but later she felt that there was money to be made, so why should she push it out? So she quickly took it and hugged her tightly.

"Hey, who are you? Matchmaker? Go out, go out, are there any other people from this family waiting for you? If so, leave quickly!"

Captain Zhao scolded loudly, and then he and Captain Lu stood still in the courtyard, loudly saying: "Where is Wei Chen? Please come out and wait for the release of the documents from the Ministry of Punishment of Nanzhili!"

Mrs. Lao ran away with her baggage in her arms. When she came out, she hurriedly found Ma Jiu's mule cart and kept urging: "Go, go, go back to the house to see the second grandma, hurry up!"

Mrs. Gao was greatly surprised when she came back with more books and deeds in her bag. After asking, she found out that Tiqi had entered the Chen family.

"Oh, it turns out that Madam Chen's intention is this. Does this mean that she has entrusted her family's entire family fortune to her?"

Just as he was talking, Li Shuo came in to greet his mother. Seeing that Mrs. Lao was there, he hurriedly asked about the situation of the Chen family. Hearing that Tiqi had arrived, he couldn't help but slumped down in his chair.

Mrs. Gao couldn't bear it, so she told him about the Chen family's entrustment of their real estate.

Li Shuo took a while and then said: "My family is sorry for the Chen family, but they can still trust each other. It really makes me ashamed! What is mother going to do about this?"

"This..." Mrs. Gao looked at Mrs. Lao and said to her son: "I want you to know that there are a total of 240 or 50 acres of land here, as well as four shops and a mill.

What I mean is that Tiqi is in this county now, and if we deal with it, it will easily attract attention. It is better to wait and see, after the Tiqi gentlemen leave, it will not be too late to decide how to deal with it."

"Just follow mother." Li Shuo raised his head and said: "If it still can't be dealt with after one month, I will send it to the son's name as the Chen family said. When they return from release, the son will be returned to the Chen family!"

Gao was originally the daughter of a small landowner and was a little greedy, but she had only read a few books.

Thinking about it, these things are only two or three thousand taels of silver at most. There is not much meaning in it. It is better to let the son be a good person in front of the laboring matchmaker.

Then he agreed and said, "Okay, let's do it like this." Then he rewarded Mrs. Lao and asked her to take the time to go to Chen's house and give her a reply.

The next day, news came from the county government. It turned out that the Nanjing Criminal Department in Yingtian had sentenced Chen Shi'an's family to be exiled to Guiyang, Guangxi, and had sealed the family property and confiscated it.

The mother-in-law of the Chen family, Wei Shi, and her two daughters were taken to the county government and detained. After waiting for the approval of the emperor of the capital, they set off for Nanchang, where they met up with the team escorting Chen Shi'an and headed south together.

As for the servants at home, they will be dismissed, and those who are slaves will be sold separately, etc.
