All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

Chapter 207 The stigma on my body has been washed away

"They came here to escape the famine six months ago."

When the old lady talked about this, she couldn't help but sigh.

"There are wars everywhere, famines and natural and man-made disasters all piled up together. Ordinary people can no longer make ends meet."

The few families who accidentally escaped to their place were starving to the point of being skin and bones when they arrived.

After seeing the family's house, they knelt outside the door and begged the Xie family to give their children a meal.

As long as they agree, the refugees will have no complaints even if they have to work like slaves.

"I also asked your eldest brother and second brother to go out and check, and confirmed that they are ordinary people with pure hearts. That's why I asked your eldest sister-in-law and others to go and distribute the porridge."

The old lady is kind-hearted, but she is not the kind of person who is blindly kind and does not distinguish between right and wrong.

Before helping others, she would definitely investigate the character of others.

Brothers Xie elder and second went to make careful inquiries and confirmed that they were disaster victims who had escaped here accidentally, and only then agreed to let them stay.

"But we didn't let them live in our house. Instead, we let them cultivate the land outside by themselves."

The Xie family can provide wood to build a temporary residence for them.

They have to cultivate the land themselves.

However, when they arrived, the harvest was almost ready, and even if they went to reclaim the land immediately, they would not be able to grow crops.

The old lady simply asked them to concentrate on building the house, and then cultivate the land after the house was built.

As for the food for the second half of the year, we will borrow it from them first. When we have enough food of our own, we will have to pay it back.

Besides, the old lady was not a naive person and she gave them good food and drink.

She just gave some food that was basically enough to satisfy the refugees' hunger and hunger.

"You don't blame grandma for doing this, do you?"

After the old lady finished speaking, she turned around and asked Xia Chan and Xie Lin.

In fact, it mainly depends on the opinion of the summer cicada.

After all, she is the one who makes the decisions in the Xie family now.

Xia Chan smiled and said, "Grandma, how could we blame you? You let them stay out of kindness and saved several lives. This is accumulating blessings for our descendants!"

"I can't even thank you enough, how can I blame you?"

She can watch people starve to death right in front of her eyes, but the old man can't.

So we saved a few victims.

This is harmless to the summer cicadas.

Anyway, if they have any bad intentions, the Xie family will not tolerate it.

Besides, they are no longer prisoners now.

As Xia Chan thought about it, he took out from his space the emperor's proclamation that he had torn off at the city gate before leaving Chang'an City.

"Grandma, mother, elder and second sisters-in-law, our family has been rehabilitated now, and Xie Jiajun is no longer a criminal for treason."

When she said this, everyone else in the room was stunned.

Every one of them stared at her with disbelief on their faces.

"Really...really?"

After a long time, Xie Yunying finally reacted: "Sister-in-law, are our family really not traitors anymore? Have our family's crimes been cleared?"

Xie Yunying grabbed Xia Chan's hand, she was so excited.

Xia Chan nodded.

"Yes, this was announced to the world personally by the Emperor of Daqing."

"Okay, okay, very good!"

The old lady said three good words in succession, looked up at the sky outside, her eyes filled with tears.

"Master, San'er's father, did you see this in heaven? The stigma that was saddled on our Xie family and the dirty water that was thrown on us have been washed away by Xiaochan and San'er."

"Our Xie family is the clean Xie family again!"

The old lady was so excited that her eyes were filled with tears!

Except for her, everyone else was so excited that they burst into tears.

Xie Su took a handkerchief and wiped her tears.

"It's clean, good."

Although they don't say it, no matter who they are, deep down in their hearts, they all hope that there is no stain on them.

This is not for yourself, but for your family and future generations.

Being charged with treason doesn't matter to them.

Anyway, they know they are innocent.

But it has a big impact on children.

Apart from anything else, as long as the stigma on them is not washed away, they will always bear this crime, and the children in their families will be inferior to others because of this crime when they reach the age of marriage.

This is not what the elders want to see.

Now that the charges have been cleared, they can openly admit that they are members of the Xie family and descendants of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion wherever they go in the future.

The whole family, young and old, cried with joy.

Big Brother Xie, Second Brother Xie, and Xie Wenjun came back from the mountain. As soon as they entered the house, they heard faint crying sounds.

The two brothers looked at each other, threw the prey on their shoulders into the backyard where chickens and ducks were raised, and went into the main yard.

They looked anxious, fearing that something might happen to their family members.

As they walked through the main courtyard, the sweat dripped down their faces and they didn't even have time to wipe it off as they hurried to the old lady's room.

"Mom, what happened?"

"grandmother?"

The two brothers rushed into the old lady's house and saw that the hall was full of people. Among these people, the two brothers immediately saw the third brother who was particularly tall.

"The third one?"

Xie Chang and Xie Yuan were still a little confused. The third brother and his wife were all fine there, and everyone in the family was fine too, so why did everyone still have tears on their faces?

The old lady wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, raised her head and smiled at Xie Yuan and Xie Chang, "Big brother, second brother, you are back just in time. What did you hunt today? Take it out and prepare it for us to have a good meal."

"what?"

The brothers Xie Chang and Xie Yuan still didn't understand what had happened.

When their respective wives saw that their husbands did not move, they stepped forward and pushed their arms.

"Xiao Chan and Uncle San brought back the imperial edict. Our family has been vindicated."

"Grandma is happy, everyone in the family is happy, let's celebrate today."

Sister-in-law, sister-in-law finished speaking.

The eldest and second brothers, who had not been in the mood, finally reacted.

"Has our family been vindicated?"

"Have our family's grievances been investigated?"

This tall and strong man couldn't help choking up when he found out that he was vindicated.

They really couldn't believe that they would be able to see the day when their family would be rehabilitated in their lifetime.

With trembling hands, the two brothers picked up the notice with the imperial seal on it, and read it word for word without missing a single word.

They dared not miss any word of it.

The emperor confirmed word by word that he had indeed cleared their family of the injustice and said that the Xie family was wrongly accused.

"That's great, that's great. If Xie Jiajun knew about this, he could rest in peace!"

"Yeah, great."

The two brothers were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears!

It’s not that men don’t shed tears, but they haven’t been moved enough.

At this moment, the two couldn't control their tears.

At the same time, in Lucheng in the north.

On the desk of Prince Zhennan, there was also a notice from Chang'an.
