"They definitely didn't recognize him!"

Before Jin Mozhi could speak, Chongshan muttered to himself, "If the Crown Princess recognized you, she would have definitely looked at you a few more times just now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chongshan felt a chill. He shivered and moved closer to Jin Mozhi. "Young Master, don't you think the weather has suddenly gotten colder?"

……

"Cheng Qiqi, where's Yanzhi's medicine? We don't have bone medicine, but surely we have tonics?"

"I gave you so much money, how come you didn't even buy me medicine?"

When Lin Huilan received the snake and insect repellent, she angrily threw it at Cheng Qiqi, saying, "Where are there snakes and insects on this road? What do I need these for?"

"My lord, please wake up! They're bullying me to death!"

Lin Huilan rushed to the Marquis's side, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Lin Huilan, go cry somewhere else."

Liu Suyi slapped her across the face. She had always disliked her behavior, and now that she was exiled, she couldn't care less about maintaining the decorum of a lady of the Marquis's household. She picked up the sachet of snake and insect repellent from the ground and said coldly, "If you cry again, you won't be eating tonight!"

Inside the pot, potatoes, green beans, and meat were stewed together. The aroma of the meat wafted over, and Lin Huilan's crying stopped abruptly; her tears were wiped away in an instant.

Lin Huilan covered her face and returned to the corner, seething with anger. She gritted her teeth in rage. Liu Suyi and Cheng Qiqi were deliberately trying to oppose her!

"Jin Xue'er, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and gather some firewood so we can get more meat later!"

Lin Huilan complained to Jin Xueer.

"Mother, how dare you yell at me? If you're so capable, go yell at Madam!" Jin Xue'er turned and left. She finally understood that her own mother was all talk and no action, but when it really came down to it, she was unreliable!

"You..." Lin Huilan looked at her daughter's departing figure, so angry that she almost fell over.

"Mom, try it! How does it taste?"

Cheng Qiqi let Liu Suyi taste the stewed meat, and Liu Suyi nodded repeatedly, saying, "Delicious!"

"Sister-in-law, your cooking is amazing!"

Jin Xuan'er sniffed, smelling the aroma of the meat, which immediately whetted her appetite.

The eldest brother and fourth uncle didn't buy any meat, so Cheng Qiqi told everyone to just cook. When she learned how to cook, Jin Xuan'er and the others came over to help!

Seeing seven or eight pounds of meat stewing in the pot, everyone worked even more enthusiastically.

"Sister-in-law, may I try some?" Jin Qing smiled ingratiatingly, her thin clothes looking stolen compared to the prison.

"Bring me a bowl."

After confirming that the food was cooked, Cheng Qiqi immediately began to portion out the dishes.

Chongshan and the others bought a lot of meat, which would spoil easily in this weather, so Cheng Qiqi simply cooked it all to save it for later, so they could have two more meals tomorrow.

"fragrant."

"It's so delicious."

The Jin family enjoyed their meal of rice, stewed with potatoes and meat, with great relish.

Scarface Zhang looked at the dish in front of him, the same stewed pork with potatoes. He frowned: "Sanjin, why doesn't your meat smell good?"

"Big brother."

A skinny man in the corner stepped forward, bowing low with a fawning smile: "Big brother, they definitely have more meat!"

"roll."

Scarface Zhang kicked him, and Sanjin rolled on the ground. He was just a handyman, not even a guard. For the sake of his life, he didn't dare to show any anger. Sanjin even had a fawning smile on his face.

"Someone brought over five pounds of meat; are you going to eat the rest?"

Li Ba immediately spoke up, picking out a large piece of fatty meat with three layers of fat and lean meat and handing it over: "Brother Zhang, it's good that the Jin family is rich. We won't have to suffer so much on the road. After another month of walking, we'll reach the Lingnan Mountain Pass."

"snort."

Scarface Zhang glanced at the Jin family, thinking, "Just wait and see when we get to the Lingnan Mountains!"

After being exiled, apart from the meal with wild boar meat, this was the most sumptuous and satisfying meal they had ever had. The joy on everyone's faces made even the fatigue and hardship of the journey seem to have faded.

That night, after a hearty meal, the two of them covered themselves with a quilt and lay on the floor fully clothed, their dreams filled with the aroma of meat.

The next day, Lin Huilan wanted Jin Yanzhi to ride in a carriage, but Scarface Zhang lashed out with his whip: "No way!"

"grown ups."

Lin Huilan was startled. She smiled ingratiatingly and said, "We have another carriage now, so my son can drive it, which will save us..."

"If I say no, then no."

Scarface Zhang glanced coldly at Lin Huilan: "The Marquis of Zhongyong is unconscious, and the old lady is in a daze all day. Letting them lie on a cart is already an extraordinary act of mercy. He's riding in a carriage too? Are you exiled or enjoying a life of luxury?"

"but……"

Scarface Zhang changed the subject, staring at Lin Huilan's face. Even though her face was thin and her chin was pointed, her eyes looked even bigger and more alluring. A wicked smile appeared on his lips as he said, "If you come to plead for me tonight, perhaps I can consider it."

The Marquis's concubine, with her delicate skin and tender flesh, must be quite a sight.

If they're willing to come to us, those former subordinates of the Crown Prince definitely can't do anything about it!

"you……"

Lin Huilan's face turned red with anger. She turned and left. What was a mere escorting officer?

Besides, the Marquis isn't dead yet. If she dares to do anything, given his temper, she'll definitely lose her life. Sigh, how long will she have to suffer like this?

"Mother, I want to ride in that carriage, the softer one."

Jin Yanzhi pointed to the carriage that Cheng Qiqi had just brought, and there was even a cushion inside.

"If you want a seat, go find the officials yourself. Anyway, your mother has no money and no ability."

Lin Huilan felt a sharp pain in her chest from the implication of Scarface Zhang, and her words became barbed.

"Mom, my legs are like this, you're not going to make me walk, are you?"

Jin Yanzhi's voice rose several octaves. Noticing the officers' gazes sweeping over him, Jin Yanzhi thought of the whip that had fallen on his body. He lowered his voice, but with urgency, he said, "Mother, please help me."

Lin Huilan: "..."

Seeing her like this, Jin Yanzhi limped over to Grandpa Jin and stammered after a long pause, "Uncle, you..."

"Uncle Run, I'm a big kid now, I can walk by myself."

Seeing that the weather was nice, Jin Sui'an insisted on walking by herself, saying as she walked, "Mom said that it's very tiring for Uncle and Grandpa to carry An'an."

"Sister, I want to walk with you!"

Jin Suian walked over to Jin Yun, who was three years older than her, with her short legs, and spoke in a crisp voice.

"..."

Jin Yanzhi, who was thinking about how to get someone to carry him, fell silent.

Surely he can't be less capable than a three-year-old girl?

"Uncle, I'd better walk by myself."

Jin Yanzhi turned his head, limping, and decided to walk by himself, not for the sake of the steamed bun but for the sake of his pride!

"Yanzhi, let me carry you on my back. Your father said that your leg needs to rest for ten days to half a month, otherwise you'll be lame in the future."

Grandpa Jin squatted down in front of Jin Yanzhi.
