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

"Suyi, your embroidery is so beautiful!"

The village head's wife, Tian, ​​presented him with freshly ripened loquats from her own tree, saying, "These are from our own tree; the loquats taste quite good."

"Thank you, Sister Tian."

Liu Suyi arrived early and had begun to get used to interacting with the villagers. She said, "Unlike Sister Tian, ​​who can do everything, I can only embroider some flowers."

Liu Suyi said self-deprecatingly, and then began to praise Tian Shi, showering her with compliments until Tian Shi was flattered and beaming with joy.

"Your embroidery is just as beautiful."

Tian couldn't suppress the smile on her face. Looking at Liu Suyi's frail body and the flowers she was embroidering, she thought, "If this were put in a brothel, it could make money!"

After exchanging compliments, Madam Tian subtly steered the conversation towards Jin Xue'er, asking, "Has your Xue'er come of age? Is she engaged yet?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Suyi was instantly jolted out of her casual conversation and a warning bell rang in her mind. She smiled and said, "Xue'er's father only has one daughter, so he should decide on this marriage."

She had no interest in making decisions about Jin Xue'er.

"I was just asking out of curiosity."

Tian's eyes flickered, knowing that Liu Suyi didn't want to talk about this, so she decisively changed the subject!

When Madam Tian left, she was somewhat disappointed. If she didn't want to talk to Liu Suyi, was she going to talk to her aunt Lin Huilan?

In Guihua Village, no one keeps a concubine. The wealthy and powerful families in the county do, but they are peasants.

Madam Tian still didn't want to talk about it. She was preoccupied with her own thoughts. Her son seemed to be under a spell and insisted on marrying Jin Xue'er. She had to go and sound him out!

If she's deliberately trying to climb the social ladder, wouldn't she turn the house upside down after marrying into it?

"Xue'er? Jin Xue'er?"

Tian had only taken a few steps outside when she saw Jin Xue'er and Lin Huilan. Her eyes lit up instantly. She stared at Jin Xue'er's deliberately smeared face, but her features and figure were still undeniable.

No wonder his son insisted on marrying her!

This girl from Kyoto is not only very pretty, but her eyes are also timid yet alluring!

"The Zhuang family's wife?"

Lin Huilan recognized Tian Shi; she was the village head's wife, a capable woman who managed everything at home and outside, and was very efficient at everything she did!

"Hey, Huilan, you and Xue'er just got back from doing laundry?"

Looking at the bucket of water that Jin Xue'er was carrying, Tian Shi thought that the girl had obviously never done this kind of work before. Her clothes were wet and so heavy. She should have carried it by hand instead of lifting it. It was too strenuous and heavy!

"Yes."

Lin Huilan nodded, still feeling a little uncomfortable looking at the enthusiastic Tian Shi.

Soon, Lin Huilan noticed something was wrong. Tian Shi's gaze towards Jin Xue'er was strange, especially when Tian Shi asked her how old she was, when she would come of age, and why she wasn't engaged in the capital...

"What a pity. If she had gotten married, she wouldn't have had to suffer in this place."

Tian said with a hint of regret, "But it's alright. Our village is quite nice, nestled between the mountains and the sea. Life here is pretty good."

"The young men in our village are all quite good; they're all excellent workers!"

Tian's words made Lin Huilan realize something was wrong. Her eyes flickered, and she said with a sigh, "We are now considered criminals, delaying Xue'er's wedding!"

"A record of sins has no bearing on a daughter's marriage!"

Tian immediately brought up the Zhou family in the neighboring Hongxi Village, who had also married an exiled criminal.

"Then, wouldn't that mean you can get rid of your citizenship after getting married?"

Lin Huilan's eyes lit up.

"able."

Ms. Tian nodded: "As long as I'm registered in my husband's family's household registration, that's fine." It just means I'll become a law-abiding citizen, a peasant!

Tian glanced subconsciously at Jin Xue'er, who stood gracefully to the side. Such a beautiful girl, if she hadn't been exiled, would definitely not have been chosen by that brat Hai Chao.

"this……"

Just as Lin Huilan was about to speak, Jin Xue'er interrupted her with a stern face, "Young lady, I'm not getting married!"

"Xue'er, are you confused? What kind of girl doesn't get married?"

Lin Huilan frowned subconsciously.

"My father and grandmother are suffering here. What would I be if I got married?"

Jin Xue'er pursed her lips, facing Tian Shi without a trace of flattery, and said, "Even if I become a nun, I won't get married!"

"I will stand with the Jin family through thick and thin!"

After saying that, Jin Xue'er ran back to her room. She was saying this to Tian Shi, and also to Lin Huilan, who was eager for her to marry into a higher social class!

Back in the manor, she followed her maid and felt that the madam was going too far and treating them badly in every way!

After being exiled, Jin Xue'er discovered that the madam had never gone too far; on the contrary, it was the concubine who constantly provoked the madam.

The young mistress made a fuss, which led to them eating separately. Lin Huilan's cooking wasn't good, so she made her and her brother cook, even though her own cooking wasn't good either!

However, that didn't stop Lin Huilan from complaining that what she and her brother cooked wasn't delicious!

The incident with Lord Hu last time made Jin Xue'er realize even more clearly that her mother was unreliable!

She was so frightened that she had a high fever for two days and stayed in bed for two days. Lin Huilan even made a mistake when preparing medicine for her. Fortunately, the madam discovered it, otherwise, she might not have survived!

Lin Huilan only said nice things: "I'm worried about you," "Your heart aches for me," "I'll dress you in the prettiest clothes and let you eat meat every day!"

But she was sick, and I never thought of making her any food.

She was truly terrified, afraid that something like what happened with Lord Hu would happen again. What if he forced her to become his concubine?

Jin Xueer did consider marrying Zhuang Haichao.

But now, Jin Xue'er doesn't want to get married!

Jin Yanzhi's words seemed to instantly clear Jin Xue'er's mind.

Even if people don't mind her now, what about in the future?

"Xue'er".

Lin Huilan watched as Jin Xue'er ran off after saying those words, then looked at Tian Shi's astonished expression, gave her an apologetic smile, and chased after her.

Tian stared in astonishment at Jin Xue'er's disappearing figure, thinking: "That brat Hai Chao, he's only interested in one side of the project."

When Hai Chao said at home that he would not marry anyone but Jin Xue'er, she wondered if the young girl couldn't endure hardship and had her eye on Zhuang Hai Chao!

Now that I see it... well, Zhuang Haichao was just lustful!

Inside the house, Lin Huilan immediately launched into a tirade against Jin Xue'er: "Jin Xue'er, are you trying to ruin yourself? To stay single and become a nun? Are you still dreaming? Or haven't you suffered enough?"

"Does getting married mean you won't have to suffer anymore?"

Jin Xue'er pursed her lips. She was prepared for Lin Huilan's scolding. She turned around and went to work, saying, "Sister-in-law, let me help you!"

Rather than following an unreliable young woman, I'd rather follow Cheng Qiqi. She can make money no matter what she does, and she's so amazing that I admire her!

"Then cut this vegetable."

Cheng Qiqi didn't say anything, but got up and handed the knife in her hand to Jin Xueer. The pickled cabbage was selling very well, and she thought that the pickled mustard greens and dried plum vegetables she used to eat were also worth a try!

Cheng Qiqi was standing under the eaves when suddenly a panicked voice rang out: "Watch out!"
