Head of the House

Looking at her aunt, she didn't seem to take it too seriously.

Tang Wan had to say a few more words: "A disaster like ours this time is a disaster but not a disaster. It is not a bad thing to stay away from the capital at this time. There may not be no chance of a comeback in the future." Tang Wan's rebuttal was a heartfelt response to Wang.

.

The news Wang heard that day was too shocking, and she had no time to think about it carefully. After hearing what Tang Wan said, she suddenly remembered that this was not the case. It might not be a bad thing to leave the whirlpool of the capital at this time.

My master doesn't want to take sides. He has already offended several princes. He is even more in danger in the capital. If he makes a wrong move, he may be doomed.

Now I am just confiscating my home and being exiled. I don’t have to worry about running out of firewood to keep the green hills. As long as people are around, I will come back one day.

At this moment, Mrs. Wang suddenly had an epiphany, held Tang Wan's hand and said to her: "Good boy, mother understands what you mean. I feel ashamed to say that at my age, I am not as transparent as you, a little girl."

After what Wang said, Tang Wan suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She was not transparent at all, but she only came to such a conclusion based on the hexagrams and the experience of her previous life.

So ashamed.

At this time, Tang Jing ran in from outside and saw her mother affectionately holding the hand of her concubine, who she was not very familiar with.

Tang Jing hesitated for a moment, not knowing what the situation was.

Although my mother didn't go out of her way to embarrass my concubine, she never cared about her so much.

When Mrs. Wang saw her daughter like this, what else could she not understand?

She also blames herself. Her daughter is her first child. She has been spoiled too much since she was a child. She is a bit unruly and not generous enough.

But this is not entirely the child’s fault. The majority of the mistakes are caused by the mother’s failure to teach her well.

Looking at the concubine's calm demeanor, she really agrees with the saying that a child without a mother will become the master early.

Growing up in a small mountain, I have to face all difficulties by myself and make my own decisions in everything. On the contrary, I am more like a girl from a wealthy family.

Wang sighed and suddenly had an idea in her mind.

He waved to his eldest daughter at the door and said, "Jing'er, come here."

Although Tang Jing is more unruly, she listens to her mother most of the time. Especially in this period, when she has no backbone, she hopes her mother will tell her what to do.

"Mother." Tang Jing saluted and sat on the other side of her mother.

While holding the hand of one of her daughters, Mrs. Wang said to them sincerely: "From now on, you must support each other. I'm afraid life will be difficult in the future. My mother's health is not good, so I decided to let Wan'er take charge of the family.

"

As soon as Wang finished speaking, Tang Jing stood up.

Looking at his mother, he said with red eyes: "Why? Even if my mother is in poor health, there is no reason to let a concubine take charge of the family. This is a joke!"

Tang Wan also quickly stood up and said to her aunt Wang, "Mother, you should be in charge of the family. I will do whatever you tell me, without any hesitation."

After Tang Jing heard what Tang Wan said, she gave Tang Wan a hard look and said, "Humph, you're still pretending to be a good person."

Tang Wan didn't care about this trivial matter with Tang Wan.

It's just that I don't really feel justified in being the head of the family.

"I believe Wan'er has the strength to lead us to live a good life." Wang looked at her daughter and answered her question eloquently.

"Mother, what about me? Why!" Tang Jing was very angry. Why should she listen to a concubine?

Mrs. Wang looked at her biological daughter and sighed: "Jing'er, what time is it now? Do you think the head of the family can show his authority or reap benefits at this time?"

When Tang Jing heard her mother say this, she lowered her head in shame.

Then, Mrs. Wang said to Tang Wan with expectation: "Wan'er, my mother has also noticed that you are a capable person. From now on, you will be in charge of the family. We have a long journey and my health is not up to par. I'm afraid

You need to worry more. If you think we are a burden, then you can just not take over the job."

Tang Wan felt helpless when she saw that her aunt was determined to take charge of the family by herself and even used the Jiji method.

But considering the many dangers ahead, I really can't stay out of it, so let's take charge of the business.

So she solemnly saluted her aunt and said, "Since my mother is relieved, I have the nerve to agree. I will try my best to protect everyone in the future, and I will find a way to live a good life even in the North."

Mrs. Wang took out two silver notes from her sleeve and said to Tang Wan: "Wan'er, here are the 2,000 taels of silver notes that I have kept privately. You can take them together. Since I said you would be in charge of the business, you should also hand over the money."

Take care of it for you."

Tang Wan did not delay too much, "Thank you for your mother's trust. I will take 1,000 taels and keep the rest for mother's defense. You can rest assured that I will return the 1,000 taels several times."

"Good boy, mother believes in you!" Wang wiped the tears from her eyes and said to Logan.

At this moment, she had an inexplicable trust in Logan, a trust that transcended blood ties and prejudice.

With this ability, if she were to take charge of the family in the future, perhaps the family would have more hope.

Since it was decided that Tang Wan would be in charge of the family, Wang asked Hongyu to inform everyone of the decision.

There was no time to do anything else, the officers and soldiers came to inform that the time was up and the door was to be closed.

The family took 10 servants and set off.

For these 10 servants, my aunt's family begged for mercy, and the emperor reluctantly agreed to bring some servants.

The personnel arrangement was decided together by Tang Wan and her aunt.

However, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. The fact that the Tang family was confiscated and exiled was well known throughout the city, and there were many people watching the excitement at the door.

I watched a group of people coming out of Tang's house, each carrying their own baggage. Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Tang, took the lead, followed by several children and slaves.

The group of them held their heads high and held their chests high, showing no signs of anger on their faces. They were extremely calm and determined not to make anyone laugh.

Considering that there were women, the escort also prepared a car. There was only one car, so the whole family had to squeeze together.

There were two prison cars following behind, and the male and female servants were riding in one car each.

A group of officers and soldiers specially escorted deportees to the border, holding long guns and riding horses, followed around the car.

Arriving at the city gate, Logan met his father.

When they met, the father first said to his wife and children guiltily: "I made you suffer with me."

My father was choked up as he spoke. As the head of the family, letting his wife and children suffer is indeed painful, but more importantly, he is helpless.

He just said a few fair words, which aroused the emperor's suspicion, and as a result, his whole family was exiled. He could do nothing but feel frustrated and helpless.

With regret, he began his journey to exile.

Because someone from my aunt's family came to take care of it, the officials were not too embarrassed, and Tang's father was allowed to squeeze on the horse with them, so he didn't have to suffer in the prison car.

We were used to a life of fine clothes and fine food, but just now everyone couldn't adapt to it.

Slowly, everyone gradually adapted to the new life. Initially, everything was fine. Even though the car was so crowded that my back ached and my legs were cramped, and the food was mediocre, I could just live my life.

But I walked like this for five or six days.

On this day, a group of people passed by a picturesque place, surrounded by rolling mountains and a road in the middle. If they were not on the road to exile, seeing this scene, Tang Wan would have wanted to sing a song.

But before Logan could finish his emotion, something unexpected happened.
