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

"grown ups!"

Cheng Qiqi spoke again, startling everyone.

"As long as he promises not to bully the women of the Jin family anymore, we're not so unreasonable."

As Cheng Qiqi spoke, she took out a silver note from her bosom: "It's a journey of three thousand miles to Lingnan. Only documents that match can be verified. Otherwise, what if the documents don't match when we arrive in Lingnan? Wouldn't that mean you've made a wasted trip?"

"Although the heir apparent is dead and the Marquis's mansion has fallen, surely there must be one or two of his loyal subordinates?"

As soon as Cheng Qiqi finished speaking, Zhang Gui, who was covering his head, screamed.

"what……"

Zhang Gui's knees felt like they had been hit by something, and he fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face from the pain.

"Who is it?"

Scarface Zhang's expression changed. He looked around but couldn't find a single person. He felt uneasy. Could it really be the prince's old subordinate?

"Since he has already knelt down and apologized, and we are not petty people, let's just let this matter go. I wonder if tomorrow, the Marquis and the old lady could lie on the cart so that their journey will not be delayed."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Cheng Qiqi took the silver note and stuffed it into Jin Runzhi's hand.

Jin Runzhi was taken aback for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and presented it to Scarface Zhang: "Sir, please do me this favor."

"snort."

Scarface Zhang snorted coldly: "Starting tomorrow, if you haven't covered fifty li, don't even think about resting!"

After saying that, Scarface Zhang turned and left.

The constables urged them to go back.

"It really is the Crown Prince's men who came to our aid!"

The Jin family looked around, trying to find out who had helped them just now.

But in the vast darkness, nothing could be seen.

"That's for sure. These officials won't dare to go too far!"

The Jin family felt a huge sense of relief.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Jin Xuan'er bowed deeply to Cheng Qiqi. If Cheng Qiqi hadn't come, she probably would have...

Jin Xuan'er trembled as she recalled what had just happened.

"Don't be afraid! As long as we unite as one, no one can bully us!"

Cheng Qiqi encouraged her, saying, "Just think of it as stepping in dog poop, it's okay!"

Dog poop?

Jin Xuan'er was initially scared, but now she felt a little like laughing!

After this commotion, everyone seemed to know that the Crown Prince's former subordinates were protecting them, and they all slept more soundly.

Liu Suyi looked at Cheng Qiqi with great enthusiasm, believing that Cheng Qiqi was worthy of being the heir apparent's wife!

First, they intimidated Scarface Zhang with their imposing manner, then they used silver notes to show their favor, and finally they even allowed the Marquis and the old lady to ride in the cart.

You see, these days, they've been giving Scarface Zhang money every day, but he just won't budge on the matter of riding the cart!

"Sir, we didn't see anyone!"

Scarface Zhang waited anxiously for a long time, and when he heard the bailiff's voice, he kicked him, yelling, "Useless idiot!"

Scarface Zhang's eyes darkened. Li Ba, who was in charge of documents with Zhang Gui, said, "Sir, there's no need to worry too much. Even if they are the heir apparent's former subordinates, they only want to protect the Jin family from death. Our goal is not to kill the entire Jin family!"

"This journey to Lingnan is three thousand miles long, and this is just the beginning. The road ahead is long and arduous. If you want to kill the Marquis, there are plenty of ways," Li Ba's voice seemed to murmur.

Scarface Zhang's eyes lit up instantly; he had completely misunderstood!

Li Ba lowered his eyes, and when he saw Zhang Gui come in, he immediately went out.

"father."

After bandaging his wound, Zhang Gui stormed in angrily: "Did I suffer this injury for nothing? That woman..."

*Snap.*

Scarface Zhang slapped Zhang Gui across the face. Zhang Gui's head was already bleeding from the blow, and he was now completely dazed from the impact!

"From now on, you are forbidden from making any further advances towards the women of the Jin family!"

Scarface Zhang gave Zhang Gui a cold look, thinking, "Even my son can't stand in the way of my wealth!"

Scarface Zhang touched the silver notes in his pocket. This time, he had run into the Jin family, a fat sheep. With money in hand, what good days wouldn't he have in the future?

"Young Master, that Scarface Zhang is nothing more than a ninth-rank inspector. He's not even worthy of carrying your shoes, yet he dares to touch the Jin family."

"That's absolutely outrageous!"

In the darkness, Chongshan's face was grim, and he wished he could rush forward and wipe out all those officials!

"Chongshan, you can't call him Crown Prince!"

Doctor Hu grabbed Chongshan and looked up at Jin Mozhi standing in front of him. In the moonlight, the half-face of his beard contrasted sharply with the cold and noble Marquis Zhongyong's son!

After the Crown Prince regained consciousness, he immediately disregarded his weak body and changed his appearance to catch up with him. The Crown Prince had several fevers and his wounds reopened, which is why he was delayed until today!

Who knew that as soon as they arrived, they saw Jin Xue'er pulling Jin Xuan'er and pushing her into Zhang Gui's arms!

Just as they were about to make their move, the Crown Princess appeared. The scene they had just witnessed, coupled with the Crown Prince's stone darts, was truly exhilarating!

"Old Hu is right. From now on, just call me Big Brother."

Jin Mozhi glanced at Chongshan. Even though he had become a burly man with a thick beard, his tall figure, noble demeanor, and cold, sharp eyes made Chongshan dare not look him in the eye, even though he was dressed in coarse cloth. He changed his address and said, "Big Brother."

"In the next supply arrangement, we must ensure their safe arrival in Lingnan."

Jin Mozhi pursed his lips and said, "After we arrive in Hongdu, we'll have news from Zhishui's journey to the border. We must find out exactly who embezzled the military pay and put it on the Marquis's head!"

He defied the emperor's decree for the lives of three hundred households and a thousand villagers, and he was not afraid even if he died.

However, embezzling military pay was the root cause of the confiscation of property and exile, and he was determined to get to the bottom of this!

only……

Jin Mozhi raised his eyes, his dark eyes falling on the spot where Cheng Qiqi had stood earlier. When she confronted Scarface Zhang, she seemed to radiate light, completely different from the pampered noble ladies in the capital.

A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes. The Cheng Qiqi he remembered, who was vulgar, greedy, and vain, seemed to be completely different from the one he saw today!

The next day, the Marquis and the old lady lay on the cart, and the Jin family only had to push the cart, making things much easier.

They even replaced the shackles with handcuffs.

The younger Jin Yun and Jin Sui'an were like children on a spring outing, walking with the family in the morning and being carried by the Jin family members in the afternoon!

"Mother, put on your new shoes."

Cheng Qiqi brought out new cloth shoes and helped Liu Suyi put them on. They walked fifty miles a day. At first, they couldn't walk anymore, and later, their feet were numb.

The soft-soled cloth shoes were worn out one pair after another.

"Qiqi, thanks to you."

Cloth shoes with multiple layers of soles, although made of coarse cloth and not as nice as soft-soled cloth shoes, are less uncomfortable to walk in!

"This isn't the Marquis's residence, so you can stay with my mother." Liu Suyi was extremely satisfied with this daughter-in-law, but unfortunately, her son was gone.

Liu Suyi lowered her eyes as she thought of her son who had died young.

"The Marquis's fever has subsided, and I estimate he'll wake up today." Cheng Qiqi's words instantly diverted Liu Suying's attention!

"Second Aunt, Second Uncle is awake!"

Jin Lizhi's excited voice came through.
