Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 196: Cannon Fodder in the Confiscated Property and Exile Story 1

The original owner of the body, Jiang He, was the daughter of the third young master of the Prime Minister's mansion.

The original owner's grandfather, Jiang Mingzhi, was the prime minister, but because he chose the wrong side during the change of dynasties, his family was confiscated and he was exiled after the new emperor ascended the throne.

Jiang Mingzhi's wife, Yun, had three sons.

The eldest son, Jiang Qingyun, was married to Zhao Shi, and had a legitimate daughter, Jiang Lan, who married the third prince as a concubine. Because of this, the Prime Minister's Mansion chose to side with the third prince. In the end, the third prince lost in the struggle for the throne, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was also implicated.

There was also Aunt Zhao and her illegitimate son, Jiang Yangping.

The second son, Jiang Linyun, was married to a woman surnamed Li. They had a legitimate son, Jiang Yangxu, and a legitimate daughter, Jiang Yu. They also had a concubine, Wang, a son born out of wedlock, Jiang Yangyi, and a daughter born out of wedlock, Jiang Ping.

The third son, Jiang Haoyun, was married to a woman surnamed Sun, and had a legitimate daughter, Jiang He, who was the original owner of this body.

Because Jiang Lan married the Third Prince, the eldest branch of the family became the most valued branch of the Prime Minister's household.

Although Zhao had no sons, the eldest son's family had illegitimate sons. Aunt Zhao was Zhao's dowry maid, and although Jiang Yangping was an illegitimate son, Zhao treated him as her own.

Jiang Yangping was treated no differently than the legitimate sons, and he studied literature and martial arts just like them.

Because the second branch of the family has the only legitimate son of the Prime Minister's household, they also have great ambitions.

They intend to have Jiang Yu marry a prince as well, so that she can compete with the eldest son's wife.

Jiang Yu has always been very self-important and has taken a liking to the Sixth Prince.

Unfortunately, the sixth prince is still young, and the emperor has no intention of arranging a marriage for him.

However, Jiang Yu felt that the position of the Sixth Prince's consort was rightfully his.

Jiang Yu has always looked down on Jiang Ping, the illegitimate daughter.

Because her mother disliked Aunt Wang, and her brothers Jiang Yangxu and Jiang Yangyi didn't get along, Jiang Yu also disliked Aunt Wang's daughter, Jiang Ping.

Unfortunately, her father doted on Aunt Wang, and Jiang Ping had everything Aunt Wang had since childhood.

How could a concubine's daughter be on equal footing with the legitimate daughter?

Later, my mother was disfigured by Aunt Wang, and my father stopped going to Aunt Wang's place.

Jiang Yuna was able to ruthlessly suppress Jiang Ping and trample her underfoot.

As a result, Jiang Yu once discovered that the Sixth Prince was talking to Jiang Ping.

Jiang Yu believes that Jiang Ping must have seduced the Sixth Prince.

They became even more ruthless, regarding Jiang Ping as an enemy and subjecting her to all sorts of humiliation.

Jiang Ping was timid by nature and passively accepted Jiang Yu's bullying.

The third branch of the Prime Minister's household is the least prominent.

Although Jiang He was the legitimate daughter, she had no presence in the Prime Minister's mansion.

The grandparents didn't care about their third son, nor did they care about their youngest granddaughter, Jiang He.

The family of three lived in the smallest courtyard of the Prime Minister's residence.

It's even more remote than Jiang Ping's dilapidated courtyard.

Normally, he would only attend when there was a major event at the Prime Minister's residence, requiring everyone to be present.

At other times, she lives her life behind closed doors.

Although they couldn't compare to the first and second branches of the Prime Minister's mansion, they were still considered well-off compared to ordinary families outside.

The family of three is content with this.

Jiang's parents planned to arrange a marriage for her with an ordinary family after she grew up, so that she could have a loving husband. That way, they could support her and prevent her husband's family from bullying her.

But even such a small wish cannot be fulfilled.

The Prime Minister's residence was raided and he was exiled.

Even though the third branch of the family knew nothing and did nothing, they were still exiled along with their property.

Before the imperial decree to confiscate their property arrived, Jiang Yu pushed Jiang Ping into the lotus pond.

Jiang Ping died there, and when she woke up again, she was Jiang Ping from another world.

Moreover, Jiang Ping gained a cheat code after transmigrating: a 300-cubic-meter personal space.

After learning about the experiences of the Jiang Ping in this world, Jiang Ping decided that since she had taken over this body, she would avenge her.

The imperial edict to confiscate their property stunned everyone.

What to do if your house is raided?

What happens if someone is exiled?

While the Prime Minister's residence was in chaos, Jiang Ping stored everything in the storeroom into her spatial storage.

Various clothes and bedding were also stored in the space.

All kinds of vegetables, fruits, meats, rice, flour, and cooking oil from the kitchen, both raw and cooked, are stored in the space.

People can die on the way to exile.

Although Jiang Ping didn't know where the place of exile was, she had seen it on television, where people died easily on the way to exile.

Moreover, they walked the entire way, often going hungry and cold.

When they arrived at their place of exile, they had nothing and made no preparations whatsoever; they were simply waiting to die.

Since they were going to confiscate her property anyway, she took it all.

They took away the property from the first wife, the second wife, and even the public school.

As for the third branch, Jiang Ping couldn't recall it. Even if she did, she probably wouldn't know where the third branch's storeroom was.

Moreover, those things had already filled her 300-cubic-meter personal space.

When the officials who came to raid the Prime Minister's residence arrived, they found that the residence was very poor.

There was only a nest of rats in that warehouse.

The kitchen contained only leftovers; the master's kitchen was worse than even the servants' kitchen.

The master of the Prime Minister's mansion has been bullied to this extent by his wicked servants.

I thought confiscating the Prime Minister's mansion would be a lucrative job, but I was surprised to find that there wasn't even a hair on the pile.

It's so clean; it must have been moved beforehand.

The warehouse was spotless, yet everyone there was adorned with gold and silver—something was amiss, very amiss. Since you're playing dirty tricks, don't blame us for being impolite.

Since there was nothing in the warehouse, the soldiers didn't get any loot, so the jewelry worn by the women was stolen.

They didn't even spare a silver bracelet.

When it was pulled down, brute force was used directly.

Those who take things willingly will be less likely to get hurt, while those who don't and try to resist will be slapped to the ground, pinned down, and have their belongings taken.

They even stripped off their outer clothes.

You're going to jail soon, you don't deserve to wear these fancy clothes.

While the officers and soldiers were looting the jewelry, they also took advantage of the situation.

Jiang Ping, however, escaped unharmed because she was bedridden and not wearing any jewelry.

The officers and soldiers simply told them to get up and go outside.

Everyone in the Prime Minister's residence will be taken away and imprisoned. So what if they're sick? It's not like they're dead.

The officers and soldiers searched more thoroughly, and all the silver notes that everyone had hidden on their bodies were found.

Everyone was in despair.

How could they have searched the house so thoroughly?

They even stole the silver notes hidden inside the clothes.

The silver note hidden inside the hairpin was taken away along with the entire hairpin.

They didn't even spare a single silver hairpin.

Even after a very thorough search, covering the entire Prime Minister's residence, they still didn't find much silver.

This is all that's been confiscated; even a prefect would have more than this.

You must know this is the Prime Minister's residence.

They left the Prime Minister's residence, which belonged to the Third Prince's wife.

Could it be that the Prime Minister's money was all given to the Third Prince?

The Prime Minister is using the entire government's resources to support the Third Prince.

It was a huge gamble, but unfortunately, it was lost.

The officers and soldiers couldn't help but regret it; they should have raided other houses instead.

Who would have thought that the Prime Minister's residence was just an empty shell?

By the time the officers and soldiers searched the third house, they had already given up hope.

Unexpectedly, the storeroom of the third branch was the richest in the Prime Minister's residence.

Those things were the dowry that Jiang's parents had saved for the original Jiang He.

Watching their belongings being moved away one by one was heartbreaking for Mr. and Mrs. Jiang.

When the soldiers came to strip Jiang's mother of her jewelry, Jiang's father tried to stop them but was beaten by the soldiers.

The family of three embraced and wept bitterly.

He eventually went to prison again.

When he was exiled, his grandmother's family and the families of his wives from both the first and second wives' families sent him some things.

It only has three rooms, nothing else.

Because Jiang's mother's family was not in the capital.
