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

"Young lady, my sister-in-law is really amazing."

Jin Xueer returned to the house with a bright and cheerful expression. Upon seeing Lin Huilan, she couldn't help but share, "I really admire my sister-in-law so much; she never remarried."

"He also said he would observe three years of mourning for his elder brother."

Jin Xue'er clasped her hands together and looked up at the sky outside the window: "I hope that my brother in heaven will bless my sister-in-law and An'an, so that they may be safe and healthy, and find happiness and good husbands in the future."

"stupid."

Lin Huilan glanced at her, then looked at Jin Xue'er's puzzled gaze: "What else could Cheng Qiqi be but a fool? Now that she's Madam Cheng, the sugar shop owner and the village head all fawn over her. Not to mention the young men in the village, even unmarried young men are willing to marry her."

"..."

Jin Xue'er frowned. In the past, she and Lin Huilan disliked Cheng Qiqi together, and when she was in a bad mood, she would go and make trouble for Cheng Qiqi...

Looking back now, she feels embarrassed to face her sister-in-law.

"Think about it, she can earn money now. Which family wouldn't treat her like royalty if she married her? Why would she need to suffer in the Jin family?"

As soon as Lin Huilan finished speaking, Jin Xue'er retorted, "The journey to exile was indeed very difficult, but once we arrived in the village, our lives weren't too bad, were they?"

Jin Xue'er only remembered that everyone worked together, and that her father and second brother were beaten for protecting her.

"Ha, look at what I'm wearing!"

Lin Huilan sneered, tugged at her clothes, and said, "Take another look at what you eat every day?"

"Isn't that because your cooking was bad?"

When Jin Xue'er thought about what her stepmother had cooked and then about the meals her sister-in-law had made these past two days, the difference was like heaven and earth. She reminded her, "Stepmother, you mustn't say this outside. We're already doing very well as we are."

"Besides, if my sister-in-law doesn't remarry, it's because she needs to observe mourning for my elder brother. How is that foolish?"

Jin Xue'er wanted to persuade her further, but Lin Huilan waved her hand and said, "I'm going to embroider the screen now. You should catch up on some sleep."

……

"Mom, what did my sister-in-law say today about whose child she hit and whose man she slept with? Did I hear that right?"

Jin Runzhi looked at his son sleeping on the small wooden bed and remembered what he had heard when he came back. When he saw his wife Gao Shenglan just now, Gao Shenglan glared at him fiercely!

His eyes made it seem as if he were a heartless man.

"That's right."

Wen paused for a moment: "Your sister-in-law was helping your wife."

"what?"

Jin Runzhi only understood part of what he heard.

Old Madam Jin walked over and said, "If it weren't for Qiqi, your wife wouldn't be able to give birth right now!"

"Grandma, I've been wrongly accused!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Runzhi immediately replied, "Shenglan risked her life to give birth to my child; how could I possibly betray her?"

"Oh."

Old Madam Jin moved her gaze from the baby's face to Jin Runzhi's: "To put it bluntly, if something really happens, can you be a widower for the rest of your life?"

"I..." I'm sure I can.

Before Jin Runzhi could finish speaking, Old Madam Jin interrupted, "One year, two years, three years, can you guarantee you'll always have this thought? And the child, once there's a stepmother, there's a stepfather."

Grandma Jin slowly sat down, looking at the newborn baby. New life meant new hope. She said, "Later, you should thank Qiqi properly."

Jin Runzhi's lips moved, but ultimately deflated like a punctured balloon, and he said, "Oh."

……

"An'an, what are you doing?"

After Jin Mozhi finished talking with his biological father, he saw Jin Suian cautiously come out of the room alone.

"Shhh."

Jin Sui'an held up a finger to her lips and whispered, "Uncle Beard, my mother is asleep."

"Then let's talk outside."

Jin Mozhi also lowered his voice, thinking that Cheng Qiqi had been busy for most of the night and was indeed tired. When they got to the courtyard, Jin Sui'an looked up at him and asked, "Uncle Beard, did Aunt Gao give birth to a little brother or a little sister?"

"Little brother."

Looking at his daughter's face, Jin Mozhi felt an urge to pinch it.

"Then I'll go see my little brother later and give him the candy I've saved up."

Jin Sui'an took out some candy from her small bag; it was candy she had been saving up but couldn't bear to eat.

Jin Mozhi couldn't help but smile as he reminded him, "The little brother has just been born and can't eat candy yet."

"Candy is so sweet, why can't we eat it?"

Jin Sui'an tilted her head, her chubby little face squeezing together, her big eyes filled with confusion and doubt, as if to say: Candy is the most delicious thing, how can anyone not like it?

So cute!

Jin Mozhi wished he could pluck the stars from the sky for his daughter. His voice, in contrast to his appearance, was gentle as he said, "Because he's still young, he can't do anything, he can only drink milk."

"ah."

Jin Suian's little face was full of regret as she carefully put the candy into her little bag and said, "Then let's keep it for An'an."

"Uncle Beard, can you teach me how to hunt? I want a pheasant!"

Jin Suian asked again, even though Jin Mozhi was squatting in front of her, she still had to look up.

"You're too young to hunt. How about Uncle makes you a hidden dart when you grow up?"

Jin Mo said, "I'm going hunting in the mountains today, and I'll give you a pheasant then."

"Can I have two?"

Jin Sui'an looked down and searched through her small cloth bag. Finally, she took out a few copper coins that her mother had given her and said, "I'll pay with money."

The five small copper coins seemed exceptionally large in her tiny hand: "Why does An'an want two?"

"Because I want to give one to my mother."

Jin Suian answered crisply, "Mom does so many things every day, I want Mom to eat chicken to nourish her body."

"Mom was so tired from sleeping, she definitely didn't eat any chicken!"

The more Jin Suian talked, the more she believed it. She said, "An'an ate chicken, and she's very healthy!"

Jin Mozhi's gaze softened as he looked at his daughter, and he said, "Then I'll hunt a few more pheasants today, one for An'an and one for your mother, okay?"

Jin Sui'an looked at him with bright eyes, and said a little shyly, "Then, can An'an's chicken be given to Grandpa, Grandma, and Great-Grandma?"

"Yes, An'an is such a filial and good girl."

Jin Mozhi's smile deepened as he said, "An'an is looking forward to drinking chicken soup tonight."

After saying that, Jin Mozhi went up the mountain to hunt with great enthusiasm.

"Master, I'll join you too."

Jin Yanzhi originally wanted to catch up on his sleep, but when he saw Jin Mozhi going into the mountains to hunt, he quickly followed.

evening.

Holding the chicken, Jin Sui'an went to Cheng Qiqi and said, "Mom, let's eat chicken! Let's eat chicken!"

"careful."

Seeing Jin Sui'an struggling to hold the chicken, Cheng Qiqi quickly went over and asked, "An'an, why are you holding a pheasant?"

With that long tail, it's obviously not a domestic chicken. It looks like it was hunted by Heitu and his group.

They've stockpiled so much meat, and they even went hunting in the mountains?

Didn't you stay up all night yesterday?

Cheng Qiqi has been trying to catch up on sleep for a long time today, but she hasn't been able to. She's even yawning now!
