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

Just as Liu Suyi was about to step forward, Lin Huilan rushed over: "My lord, you're finally awake! I was so scared!"

As Lin Huilan thought of the grievances she had suffered these past few days, tears streamed down her face.

The sobbing would have been soothing to the Marquis in the past, but now, having just woken up, his thick, dark eyebrows furrowed: "Shut up!"

Even though his voice was weak, it was still full of authority.

Lin Huilan immediately stopped crying and could only shed tears silently.

"Su Yi".

The Marquis immediately spotted Liu Suyi standing to the side, dressed in prison clothes. But the way she stood there was completely different from Lin Huilan's vulnerable appearance. It was as if even if the sky were to fall, she could still maintain the demeanor of the mistress of the house.

"My lord."

Liu Suyi stepped forward, carrying the freshly brewed medicine: "Thanks to Qiqi's medicine, otherwise, the Marquis would have been in grave danger this time."

The medicine was steaming hot and had a strong, bitter taste.

"Who is Qiqi?" Just as Marquis Zhongyong was about to drink his medicine, the bowl was snatched away!

"Oh!"

Liu Suyi snatched the medicine bowl from his hand with a cold laugh: "Jin Yi, you're really something, you don't even know your granddaughter's mother's name?"

"Oh, that countryside..." the girl said.

Before Marquis Zhongyong could finish speaking, Liu Suying gritted her teeth and said, "Qiqi is the daughter-in-law of the Jin family. She even brewed medicine for you, used precious medicine to treat your wounds, and provided food to keep us from starving to death on the road to exile. And you are ungrateful!"

Liu Suyi was practically pointing her finger at him and calling him an ingrate!

Marquis Zhongyong: "..." He had just woken up and knew nothing!

"Su Yi".

Just as Marquis Zhongyong was about to speak, Liu Suying turned around and said, "Now that you're better, you don't need to take this medicine anymore!"

Liu Suyi angrily walked towards Cheng Qiqi by the pot, but halfway there she remembered that Cheng Qiqi had once had the same attitude as Marquis Zhongyong.

"Qiqi, I still have quite a lot of my dowry hidden away. When we get to Lingnan, I'll have someone retrieve it."

Seeing Liu Suyi's sudden words and the guilt in her eyes, Cheng Qiqi, with her keen hearing, combined what she had just heard and knew why her mother-in-law was upset.

Cheng Qiqi laughed and said, "Mother, you should keep all those good things." She had obtained quite a few treasures from Liu Suyi's storeroom in the Marquis's mansion!

As the Marquis listened to Jin Lizhi and the others recount how they relied entirely on the clothes, bedding, and medicine brought by Cheng Qiqi's maid during their exile, the Marquis fell silent and concluded, "A friend in need is a friend indeed."

"My lord," Master Jin began.

Marquis Zhongyong said, "Alright, elder brother, just call me second brother. We're prisoners now."

"Second brother, was it really the Crown Prince's old subordinates who came to protect us last night?" Old Master Jin's question revealed the thoughts of all the Jin family members. If there were indeed old subordinates, then they would never have to worry about food and drink again.

"As long as they think so, that's fine."

Marquis Zhongyong raised his eyes and looked at Scarface Zhang and the other officials. They had prevented them from buying medicine along the way, trying to wear him out.

Jin Yi's life isn't that easy to die!

"grandfather."

Jin Sui'an carefully handed over the medicine: "Drink your medicine."

As soon as the crisp words fell, Jin Sui'an looked up and saw the solemn face of the Marquis of Zhongyong. For a moment, she was afraid, but then she remembered her mother saying, "Grandpa is a great hero."

But Grandpa is so scary!

"you……"

Marquis Zhongyong looked at the medicine bowl in the little girl's hand with a complicated expression. He took the bowl and was about to speak when Jin Sui'an turned and ran away.

"Second brother, you have a wonderful granddaughter, An'an, who is well-behaved, sensible, and adorable."

Grandpa Jin said enviously, "If it weren't for Cheng Qiqi's food during the exile, they would probably have starved to death and wouldn't even have clean clothes!"

Perhaps out of fear of trouble with the former subordinates of the Crown Prince, Scarface Zhang and his men became much more restrained on the road to exile. Apart from covering fifty miles a day, they were not made to suffer too much!

From Kyoto to Lingnan, the road turns from the plains into the mountains, and the official road becomes increasingly difficult to travel!

Jin Yanzhi clutched his stomach and said, "I'm so hungry, I can't walk anymore!"

"Just bear with it, nobody has anything to eat."

Lin Huilan thought that their lives would be better after the Marquis woke up, but who knew that the Marquis would not give them a kind look at all.

With the sun blazing and the road difficult to walk, Jin Yanzhi felt that the future was bleak.

On the carriage.

"Father, are we just going to let them go to Lingnan peacefully like this?"

Zhang Gui covered his head. Although his injury had healed, he still couldn't get over the fact that he had knelt down and apologized that day!

"Shut up."

Scarface Zhang looked at Zhang Gui with exasperation: "Get down."

"father."

Zhang Gui wanted to say something, but Scarface Zhang glared at him, and he immediately dared not say another word, slinking off the carriage in disgrace.

"Brother Zhang, Panlong Village is just ahead, and there are many bandits there."

Li Ba whispered, "We have fewer yamen runners than bandits. The Marquis died at the hands of bandits, so the court can't blame us."

"Wait a minute, be quick-witted."

Scarface Zhang laughed, making the scars on his face look even more ferocious.

"Mom, there are so many mountains here! Are there any delicious wild fruits in the mountains? Are there any fragrant sweet potatoes?"

Jin Sui'an and Jin Yun grew up in the Marquis's mansion and had never seen so many mountains before!

"Yes, when we rest, Mom will take you to look for chestnuts. There should be chestnuts on the mountain at this time of year, right?"

Cheng Qiqi looked around at the dense forest. Even if she didn't have any, she had some in her spatial storage!

"Really?"

Upon hearing that there were chestnuts, Jin Sui'an jumped for joy and asked excitedly, "Mom, will you make chestnut cake for me?"

"..."

In the Marquis's mansion, there was a small kitchen in the courtyard. Cheng Qiqi often cooked delicious food for Jin Sui'an when she was bored. However, there was definitely no such thing on this desolate road of exile!

Cheng Qiqi's eyes lit up, and she smiled, saying, "After we find the chestnuts, how about Mom makes chestnut porridge? Porridge is so sweet!"

"Everything Mom makes is delicious!"

Jin Suian rushed over and hugged Cheng Qiqi's leg, overjoyed.

Suddenly, a group of bandits wielding knives rushed down from the mountaintop: "This mountain is mine, this road is mine! If you want to pass, leave your toll!"

The bandit leader, wielding a large machete, spoke menacingly.

"Sir, we won't rob you, we'll rob them!"

The bandit leader stared at the Jin family, his gaze settling on the Marquis of Zhongyong. Before the officials could react, he said, "Those exiled are all corrupt officials; they must have grain!"

"That's outrageous!"

Scarface Zhang said angrily, "How dare you rob someone in broad daylight! Men, seize them all!"

Zhang Gui and his guards rushed forward, but they were no match for the bandits' superior numbers and quickly scattered the group.

Cheng Qiqi protected Jin Suian and retreated, staring at the bandits who didn't seem like bandits but rather like well-trained assassins. They seemed to be after the Marquis, but in reality, they seemed to be after him.

"Mom, our food is going to be stolen!"

Jin Sui'an watched as the bandits overturned the carriage and rushed towards it in a hurry. Cheng Qiqi was focused on the bandits and couldn't stop them at all. She also didn't expect that her daughter, who was hiding behind her, would rush out!

The bandits, who were searching for valuables, saw Jin Sui'an and kicked him in disgust!

"An'an!"

Cheng Qiqi's pupils contracted, and she opened her arms and lunged at Jin Suian.
