Confiscating property? Confiscate thin air, then. Chen Xue immediately emptied the Chen residence, leaving nothing behind from the floorboards to the bed curtains, not even the garden or the lake. She even moved away the thousands of pounds of food that her enemies had planted to frame her. When the enemies arrived to seize the property... The enemies were dumbfounded: "Where are the things? Where are the thousands of pounds of supplies I secretly stashed there?" The subordinate reported: "My Lord, besides rat droppings, the Chen family has nothing." A colleague remarked: "Lord Chen is far too incorruptible; there isn't even a single grain of food in his home, and his entire family even sleeps on wooden planks." Chen Xue stated: "My family is truly poor. There isn't even a single grain of rice in the jars; we are so poor we can't even afford to cook." Thus, the whole world came to know of the Lord Chen in the capital, who was destitute and penniless. Father Chen: "If anyone says my family is destitute and penniless again, I'll lose it with them!" Mother Chen: "Our daughter said it." Father Chen: "Ahem, ahem, ahem... then it's fine." Chen Xue expressed that exile was very hard; not only was there wind, sun, and rain, but there was also insufficient food... The prisoners and bailiffs: "Get lost! We're the ones being exiled; you people are basically just going on a tour." In the exile convoy, Chen Xue's family lay in a carriage, drinking tea, eating candied fruit, and playing Go. In their spare time, they grew vegetables in their spatial dimension and, when craving snacks, exchanged for things like spicy strips from the system. Life was truly wonderful.
