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

"We still have sweet potatoes and potatoes, let's eat those for now. We don't have much food, and they certainly don't have much either."

Marquis Zhongyong stared at the leading carriage and said, "We'll be in Hongdu Prefecture soon; they'll definitely be there."

When escorting official documents, you still need someone to sign and stamp them!

"My lord."

Seeing that the Marquis Zhongyong had woken up, Lin Huilan seized the opportunity to step forward and said aggrievedly, "Look how thin Yanzhi has become. It's one thing for Cheng Qiqi to give the chicken to the officials, but Yanzhi is the Marquis's only son, and he didn't even get a sip of soup."

"Also, Yanzhi was injured, and even the eldest son's family had medicine, but Cheng Qiqi was unwilling to give it to Yanzhi."

Lin Huilan wiped away her tears and said, "Yanzhi is your only son. Look how thin he has become."

Lin Huilan emphasized the words "only son" very much.

"father."

Jin Yanzhi's pent-up grievances from all this time finally erupted. His father had been in a coma, and the day he woke up, he encountered bandits again, causing the Marquis of Zhongyong to fall into a coma once more.

"Waaah, I'm suffering so much! I haven't eaten meat for twenty-one days!"

"I feel like I have no fat left on my stomach."

"Cheng Qiqi had chicken soup, but she didn't give me any."

Jin Yanzhi sobbed as he complained.

"Shut up!"

Looking at Jin Yanzhi, who was crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, Marquis Zhongyong said with exasperation, "You're a grown man, how dare you complain about your sister-in-law? If it weren't for your sister-in-law, would you have clothes to wear? Would you have food to eat?"

Marquis Zhongyong knew perfectly well what Cheng Qiqi had given and what she had done for the Jin family!

"Jin Yanzhi, you're eighteen this year. When your brother was eighteen, he had already distinguished himself on the battlefield!" Marquis Zhongyong looked at Jin Yanzhi with disdain. How could he have the nerve to complain?

Jin Yanzhi's eyes widened like saucers, bloodshot, his hands clenched into fists as he glared angrily at Marquis Zhongyong: "Are you still my father? How dare you scold me?"

Jin Yanzhi had been pampered since childhood. At first, he was whipped a few times and went hungry for a few meals. He learned his lesson and thought that his life would be better after his father woke up!

With this thought in mind, Jin Yanzhi persisted, but now, not only did his own father not stand up for him, but he even scolded him.

"Snapped!"

Marquis Zhongyong slapped him on the shoulder: "If I'm not your real father, then who is? I was injured and unconscious, and you can't even handle the slightest thing. Who else should I scold if not you? You're not even as good as your sister-in-law..."

Jin Yanzhi's shoulder ached from being slapped so hard. He stood up angrily and interrupted, "She's not my sister-in-law! She's just a country bumpkin, what right does she have to be my sister-in-law? She doesn't deserve it!"

After saying that, Jin Yanzhi ignored the Marquis of Zhongyong, turned around and went to the tree, kicking it wildly as if he were treating the tree as an enemy.

"You bastard!"

Marquis Zhongyong was so angry that he clutched his chest.

"Yanzhi, Lord Marquis..."

Lin Huilan glanced at her aggrieved son sitting under the tree, then at the Marquis Zhongyong. She leaned weakly against the cart, stretching out her hand and said, "My lord, it doesn't matter if I suffer, but Yanzhi is your only son, he..."

"When my father followed the late emperor on his campaigns, he was only a teenager. When I went to the battlefield, I was only sixteen. By the time Mo Zhi was sixteen, he had already earned merit and become a commander of a thousand households through his own efforts!"

Seeing Lin Huilan's appearance, Marquis Zhongyong became even angrier, pointing at Jin Yanzhi who was kicking the tree: "Look at him again, he's already eighteen, what can he do?"

"..."

Lin Huilan was surprised that not only did the Marquis not comfort her, but he also scolded his only son. Lin Huilan sobbed silently, thinking with dissatisfaction: If the Marquis had raised Yanzhi properly, Yanzhi would not have turned out like this.

"snort."

Liu Suyi watched this scene from afar and snorted coldly: Does Lin Huilan really think that with Mo'er gone, Jin Yanzhi will catch the Marquis's eye?

He's just a good-for-nothing.

"Qiqi, a person's background doesn't mean anything. I judged you by your appearance before. I apologize to you."

Liu Suyi pulled Cheng Qiqi aside and comforted her, saying, "I am very happy and proud to have you as my daughter-in-law."

"Thank you, Mother."

Cheng Qiqi smiled. She didn't care about Jin Yanzhi's words, but she appreciated her mother-in-law's concern.

Cheng Qiqi glanced at Jin Yanzhi, who was kicking the tree. As long as Marquis Zhongyong wasn't stupid, he would rather adopt someone than help Jin Yanzhi ascend to the throne!

Jin Yanzhi, who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun, what kind of responsibility can he possibly have?

In the evening, after dinner, the Jin family members sat together in twos and threes. Traveling fifty miles a day was still very tiring for the Jin family, who were used to a life of luxury!

"Qiqi, thank goodness you bought so many pairs of shoes, otherwise our feet would have suffered terribly."

Seeing that she had already worn out two pairs of shoes and was now wearing out a third pair, Liu Suyi was extremely grateful. She never hesitated to praise her daughter-in-law when it was time to do so!

"That's right, Second Sister-in-law, Qiqi's shoes saved my feet."

The second wife, Madam Wen, was gentle and kind. From the very beginning, they had been walking for almost a month, and they were all numb from the pain.

Everyone chatted in twos and threes when Jin Yanzhi got up to go to the outhouse, and no one paid any attention.

"Oh no! Oh no! The prisoner has escaped!"

A startled cry instantly jolted the drowsy Jin family members awake.

"Donkey Egg, what's going on?"

Scarface Zhang glanced at the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage on the cart and the Jin family members lying on the ground. Who ran away?

"I just took Jin Yanzhi to relieve himself, but after listening to the sound of water for ages, I couldn't see anyone. By the time I realized something was wrong, he was nowhere to be seen!"

As a menial laborer, Donkey Egg was responsible for everything from feeding the horses and carrying things to supervising prisoners to relieve themselves.

He took a nap, and who knew, in the vast darkness, the man disappeared!

"idiot!"

Upon hearing the name, Scarface Zhang immediately knew that this was the only illegitimate son of the Marquis of Zhongyong's family, and also on the list of those destined to die!

"Ah Gui, keep an eye on them. The rest of you, come with me to arrest them!"

Scarface Zhang gave the order, drew his knife, and walked up the mountain with a cold face.

"It's a misunderstanding, there must be a misunderstanding!"

Marquis Zhongyong got off the cart. No matter how disappointing Jin Yanzhi was, he was still his son!

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, we'll find out once we arrest him!"

Scarface Zhang climbed the mountain with a cold face, seizing this opportunity to send him to the Yellow Springs!

On the mountain, Jin Yanzhi turned back to look at the dozing donkey egg and said mockingly, "I'm as smart as you think!"

"Once I run away, I'll live under an assumed name and never have to live such a miserable life again!"

Jin Yanzhi gritted his teeth and looked around, asking, "Is anyone there? Is anyone coming to save me?"

As Jin Yanzhi ran, he muttered to himself, "Jin Mozhi is dead. His old subordinates are here to protect him. Is that a good thing?"

Jin Yanzhi, clutching his shackles, ran like a madman under the cover of night. Suddenly, he stepped on something and tumbled down the ravine. He covered his mouth, afraid to scream.

His whole body ached terribly, and he even bumped his head on a tree, making him wince in pain. Just as he was struggling to get up, suddenly, two white lights appeared in front of his eyes!
