Exiled to Lingnan, the Crown Prince's wife raises children, cultivates the land, and leads the

When the heir of the Marquis of Zhongyong suddenly passed away and his coffin was brought into the Marquis's residence, the residence instantly descended into chaos.

"How dare she kneel here?"

"She's just a country girl, not even registered in the genealogy, not even in the clan. How dare she wear mourning clothes for the Crown Prince? And that little brat, who knows if the child she conceived outside the marriage is even the Crown Prince's?"

A sharp sound rang out. Lin Huilan, the concubine of the Marquis of Zhongyong, was overjoyed to learn that the Marquis's heir had died. With the heir dead, her son was the rightful heir to the Marquis's mansion!

"Since when did it become your place, a mere concubine, to make decisions in the Marquis's mansion?"

Lady Liu Suyi, the wife of the Marquis of Zhongyong, walked in surrounded by a crowd, her face haggard and her eyes red and swollen.

"Sister, everyone is grieving the loss of the Crown Prince, but we must not disregard propriety!"

Lin Huilan spoke with great sincerity and her face was full of sorrow, but a fleeting glint of schadenfreude flashed in her eyes.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Cheng Qiqi and Jin Sui'an, one big and one small, dressed in mourning clothes, in front of the coffin.

Four years ago, Jin Mozhi, the heir of the Marquis of Zhongyong, whom countless young ladies longed to marry, instead married a country girl as his heir. This was unbelievable throughout the capital, and the Marquis's family strongly opposed it. Even though she was brought into the family, she was still not listed in the family genealogy and was not recognized by the Marquis's family.

"Smack."

Liu Suyi stepped forward and slapped Lin Huilan, leaving her stunned.

"Don't think that just because Mo'er is gone, your son can inherit the Marquis's mansion. I'm not dead yet!" Liu Suyi said through gritted teeth as she looked at Lin Huilan.

"My lord..."

Lin Huilan covered her face, and was interrupted as soon as she started to speak.

"Even if I were to sell you off as a concubine, the Marquis wouldn't dare utter a single word of dissent!" Liu Suyi coldly swept her gaze over.

"..."

Lin Huilan shut up sullenly, her nails almost digging into her flesh. She rolled her eyes inwardly. Liu Suyi's only son was dead, what was there to be arrogant about?

She decided to be patient and wait for the Marquis to return...

Liu Suying walked step by step to Cheng Qiqi and stopped in front of her, tearing off the mourning cap from her head: "It's all your fault! You killed Mo'er! All of you, get out of here!"

Liu Suyi coldly ordered, "Wu Ma, send them to the estate and never let them set foot in the Marquis's mansion again."

Cheng Qiqi stared at Liu Suyi in shock, her heart sinking. This damned Marquis's mansion, the young master had just died, and they were already eager to get rid of her and her daughter.

Wu Ma led the guards forward, and Cheng Qiqi stood up, holding her daughter's hand: "I can walk by myself."

Who wants to kneel anymore!

She can live a good life with her daughter on the farm!

Upon arriving at the Ink Bamboo Courtyard, Wu Ma handed her a stack of silver notes and a box of jewels, saying, "Princess Consort, take Miss Sui'an and leave the Marquis's residence immediately!"

"Aunt Wu, what are you doing...?" Cheng Qiqi asked in confusion. This didn't seem like she was being asked to leave.

"The Marquis's mansion is going to be raided and the family exiled."

Wu Ma's voice was urgent as she said, "The Cui family has long coveted the military tally in the Marquis's hands. I'm afraid the Marquis's exile this time will be more likely to end badly."

"You're not registered in the family genealogy, so you're definitely not on the list. It's not too late to leave now!"

As she spoke, Wu Ma took out a jade pendant from her bosom and handed it over with great care: "This is a jade pendant bestowed by the late Emperor, and it will only be passed down to the daughters-in-law of the Jin family."

Wu Ma bowed deeply to Cheng Qiqi: "This parting may be the last time we meet, Princess Consort, Miss Sui'an, please take care."

The amount of information was too much for Cheng Qiqi to process. In ancient times, having one's property confiscated and being exiled were serious crimes. How could she be in such a miserable state?

She had just transmigrated when she encountered the original owner of this body who had died in childbirth. She endured the pain for a whole day and night before giving birth to her daughter. It didn't matter that she wasn't welcomed by the Marquis's mansion; as long as she could eat and drink her fill, Cheng Qiqi didn't care!

After all, the world outside is not good. Being able to eat and dress warmly in the Marquis's mansion is already a great achievement!

It doesn't matter that the prince is dead. In the three years since she gave birth, Cheng Qiqi has only seen him twice and has no feelings for him.

But confiscating your property and exiling you could mean death!

"Oh no! These soldiers have surrounded the Marquis's residence; we can't get out."

Wu Ma led Cheng Qiqi, intending to send them away through the side gate, but unfortunately, they were surrounded by soldiers and could not get out!

"We can't leave."

Cheng Qiqi's eyes darkened. She went into the kitchen and lit a roaring fire. Steam rose from the steamer in the pot, carrying the aroma of steamed buns.

"Chuntao, go and pull up all the sweet potatoes, potatoes... and all the vegetables in the backyard and gather them together."

Cheng Qiqi took the silver notes and valuables from Wu Ma's hand and said, "Wu Ma, I'm going out for a bit. Please help An'an get dressed quickly!"

"Princess Consort, where are you going?"

Looking at the timid Miss Sui'an in her arms, Wu Ma couldn't help but wonder: Would the Crown Princess really abandon her daughter and run away?

Cheng Qiqi, dressed in ordinary cotton clothes, moved through the Marquis's mansion, avoiding the guards, and headed straight for the kitchen on the east side of the mansion. As she passed the front courtyard wall, a scream rang out, and Cheng Qiqi was so frightened that she secretly glanced over!

The courtyard was completely surrounded by soldiers in the very center.

Cheng Qiqi's pupils contracted, and her hands gripping the tree trunk involuntarily tightened. She looked at the bloodied man being carried in; he had clearly been whipped. This was the Marquis.

After losing so much blood, is it possible for her to survive?

Just moments ago, Liu Suyi was high and mighty, but now she was sobbing uncontrollably. In one day, her son had died, and her husband's fate was unknown.

The Marquis's mansion has collapsed.

Cheng Qiqi's heart was heavy. The Marquis was already in such a state. If he were really exiled, would he still be alive?

She didn't dare look any longer and went straight to the kitchen. If she really couldn't escape exile, then she had to take all this food!

Fortunately, after transmigrating, she still had a space. The peace and safety plaque left to her by her parents activated the space, which was empty and infinitely large.

It was thanks to this space that, despite being disliked in the mansion and constantly being harassed by Aunt Lin's daughter, Jin Xue'er, she was still able to raise her daughter to be healthy and chubby.

Taking advantage of her familiarity with the terrain, Cheng Qiqi went straight to the granary after entering the kitchen. It seemed that everyone had been driven to the front yard, so the back yard was empty and deserted.

The old lady's birthday banquet is just around the corner, and the granary is completely full.

Without hesitation, Cheng Qiqi put the grain and rice into her spatial storage.

Flour, collect.

Processed ducks, rabbits, chickens, fish... all were stored in the space!

Oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and all sorts of seasonings—Cheng Qiqi didn't even leave behind pots and pans. Perhaps these things will come in handy while she's exiled in the wild!

Cheng Qiqi took all the fish, tank and all, from the tank that were jumping around in it.

The kitchen was cleaned up, and Cheng Qiqi was about to leave when she paused. If she remembered correctly, there was still food for the servants in the side room!

We must accept it!

Unlike the refined rice that the masters eat, the servants eat ordinary brown rice and coarse flour. These are also good things, so let's keep them!

Cheng Qiqi checked her space. Fortunately, it was spacious; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to fit all these miscellaneous things.

Next, Cheng Qiqi went to the main courtyard. Upon entering, she found herself surrounded by soft carpets, exuding elegance and nobility.

Cheng Qiqi didn't even glance at it before heading straight to the storeroom. She put all the leather, winter mattresses, gold and silver jewelry, and medicinal herbs into her spatial storage.

As Sui'an's grandmother, it's better to leave these things to Sui'an in the future than to let the emperor and corrupt officials benefit from them.
