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

Liu Suyi hesitated. She was protective of her own, but wasn't the large intestine a place for pig excrement? She couldn't eat it…

"I'll try it."

Marquis Zhongyong brought over the porridge and asked, "Qiqi, from now on, you will call me Father."

"father."

Cheng Qiqi decisively changed her tune, saying that the Marquis of Zhongyong was clearly capable, and that she would have to stick close to this powerful figure from now on!

"Mom, this is actually quite delicious."

Cheng Qiqi served a portion to Jin Sui'an. The three-year-old Jin Sui'an, smelling the aroma of meat, only knew that it was delicious, and buried his head in his food, eating it very quickly.

"Anyone who wants to try it, here it is."

Cheng Qiqi took the initiative to speak.

"fragrant!"

Marquis Zhongyong had eaten offal before, but it always had a fishy smell. But today, the fishy smell was gone, leaving only a fragrant aroma. It was a pity it was porridge; if it were white rice, he would have had at least three bowls!

"Qiqi, how about I give it a try?" Liu Suyi didn't want to offend Cheng Qiqi.

The "it's actually delicious" principle applies here: at first, everyone dislikes it, but gradually, everyone tries it, and eventually, everyone praises it.

Seeing that Grandpa Jin, Jin Lizhi, and Jin Cizhi were all eating with great relish, Madam He quietly moved a little further away.

"Yanzhi, you ride in the carriage."

As soon as Marquis Zhongyong spoke, Lin Huilan happily helped Jin Yan onto the carriage.

"My lord, your wound hasn't fully healed yet, are you sure you can manage?" Liu Suyi frowned.

"Suyi, I can handle it."

After Marquis Zhongyong finished speaking, Liu Suyi turned around and started packing her things.

In the late afternoon, Marquis Zhongyong fainted, and Liu Suying quickly helped him up: "Is he running a high fever again?"

"Quickly, someone carry him onto the carriage."

As Liu Suyi spoke, Jin Lizhi and Jin Runzhi immediately stepped forward and lifted the Marquis of Zhongyong onto the carriage. His wound on his back had started bleeding again. Cheng Qiqi said, "Mother, I don't have much medicine left."

"Qiqi, keep the medicine. Who told him to be so stubborn?"

Liu Suyi felt a surge of anger.

"Liu Suyi, what about Yanzhi?"

Lin Huilan looked at the small space of the cart. The old lady was still not fully conscious and was drowsy. She was also old, so it was impossible to let her get off and walk.

If another Marquis of Loyalty and Valor were to lie down, there wouldn't be any room left!

The carriage was loaded with bedding, grain, pots and pans, and firewood; there was simply no place to lie down!

"See who will carry it, and then you can bring them food, and bring plenty," Liu Suyi suggested to her.

Lin Huilan: "..."

She doesn't even have enough to eat herself, why should she send more?

Wouldn't that kill her?

"I'll carry it," Jin Lizhi said.

"Lizhi, thank you so much," Lin Huilan said gratefully.

"We're all brothers."

Jin Lizhi smiled憨厚ly, squatted down, and carried Jin Yanzhi on his back.

"Hurry up and go!"

Zhang Gui drove the carriage and saw the Jin family stop. He cracked his whip loudly.

"Let's go, let's go now."

Because of the delay, Jin Lizhi carried Jin Yanzhi on his back and walked incredibly fast, afraid of slowing them down and giving Zhang Gui another chance to whip him.

The Marquis of Zhongyong's condition was not good; his fever would come down, then come back up.

Especially since it started drizzling, they thought they could rest for a day and not walk, but who knew that Scarface Zhang would insist that they keep going!

Scarface Zhang and his men rode in a carriage, with guards carrying knives following behind them, constantly urging them on.

A light drizzle fell, and my cloth shoes with their multi-layered soles sank into the wet ground. The water seeped into my feet, and even in autumn, it felt icy cold!

Jin Sui'an and Jin Yun could no longer get down and walk on their own. With the help of several men on their backs next to the Jin family, plus Jin Yanzhi, the fifty miles they walked that day were exceptionally difficult.

"Ouch."

Liu Suyi stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Cheng Qiqi, who was standing nearby, quickly helped her up and asked, "Mother, are you alright?"

"able."

Liu Suyi wiped the rain off her face. She wanted to clear her son's name. She had to live and take care of such a good daughter-in-law and granddaughter!

With this belief, Liu Suyi remained completely silent.

Jin Xue'er did say a few words of disdain, but Zhang Gui's whip was indiscriminate.

"Why don't you ride in the carriage?"

Before Jin Xue'er could even feel happy, Zhang Gui's bold eyes swept over her chest. Jin Xue'er was so frightened that she immediately hid behind Lin Huilan, no longer daring to complain.

The Jin family was completely numb; the already difficult journey to exile was compounded by the rain.

Jin Lizhi, Jin Cizhi, and Jin Runzhi, who were carrying people on their backs, had to put in even more effort than others, but none of them uttered a word.

At first, Jin Yanzhi felt quite comfortable being carried, but gradually, as he watched Jin Lizhi carrying him with difficulty, each step steady, a different feeling arose in Jin Yanzhi's heart.

After lunch, Jin Yanzhi was carried on his back by Grandpa Jin again. He was an adult man, and no matter how light he was, he was different from the two children, Jin Yun and Jin Sui'an.

Jin Yanzhi, who had initially been complaining, gradually fell silent. He looked up at the winding, muddy road, as if it were a road that would never end.

"Hurry, we must get to Hongdu Prefecture tonight!"

Scarface Zhang sat in the carriage, leisurely looking at the Jin family members who were once high and mighty. In the past, Scarface Zhang was not even worthy to carry their shoes. But now?

"hurry up."

Scarface Zhang swung his whip.

The Jin family members were already used to it and wisely hid to the side.

Scarface Zhang, who hadn't hit anyone, wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, he was quite pleased. "Lord Marquis? The mistress of the Marquis's mansion?"

Now he's a prisoner, at the mercy of the abuse.

The muddy, rainy road meant that by the time they arrived at the post station in Hongdu Prefecture, the Jin family members were soaked to the bone. The women huddled together for warmth.

Upon arriving at the post station, Jin Lizhi took out his money and slipped some silver to Scarface Zhang, saying, "Sir, please make an exception for us. Could we share a room and take a bath?"

Scarface Zhang weighed the silver in his hand and said generously, "Go ahead and wash it."

After being caught in the rain all day, they'll definitely catch a cold tomorrow. Then, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery will be suffering from a cold on top of his old injuries…

He died from the disease; no one is to blame.

"One pot wasn't enough, so we set up two more pots, boiled water in them all, and turned on a stove to make ginger soup."

Seeing that they were all anxious to change out of their wet clothes, Cheng Qiqi immediately gave them instructions, saying that in the time it would take to change clothes, half a pot of water could be heated!

She was soaked in the drizzle all day today; if she can handle it, An'an definitely can't!

"Sister-in-law, let me help you."

Jin Xuan'er, soaking wet, stood beside Cheng Qiqi to help, but Cheng Qiqi shook her head and said, "Xuan'er, you just need to help start the fire."

Cheng Qiqi planned to add some medicinal herbs to the soup to prevent catching a cold. You know, in ancient times, a cold or fever could be fatal. Hot ginger soup alone wouldn't be enough. She planned to secretly add some cold medicine to it.

After drinking ginger soup and taking a bath, Cheng Qiqi felt like she had come back to life. As she was preparing dinner with Wen and Li, she heard worried voices coming from inside the house.

Marquis Zhongyong, who was already suffering from old and new injuries, had his fever worsened after being soaked in the rain.
