Exiled to Lingnan, the Crown Prince's wife raises children, cultivates the land, and leads the
Chapter 3 A Chance for Survival
The original owner of this body came from a humble background. Her father saved the seriously injured prince, and the couple died for the prince, leaving her an orphan. By a twist of fate, when the prince was being plotted against, she stepped forward and saved him with her virginity.
To repay her debt of gratitude, Jin Mozhi defied all opposition and, as the Crown Prince's consort, welcomed the original owner into the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion. The Marquis was furious, and the Marquis's wife despised her in every way.
Jin Mozhi and her father, the Marquis of Zhongyong, were stationed at the border. The Marquis's wife disliked the original owner of the body, but she did not take her life. After she became pregnant, she enjoyed a period of good life.
Until she gave birth to her daughter Jin Sui'an, she was immediately sent to the most remote corner, where she stayed for three years.
"Why are you here?"
When Liu Suyi saw her, she subconsciously looked at Wu Ma. Didn't she ask Wu Ma to send silver notes so that she and her daughter could escape quickly?
"Of course, I invited them!"
Cui Lie, clad in golden armor that gleamed brilliantly in the sunlight, curled his lips into a wicked smile: "The Crown Prince is dead. How can his wife and daughter remain uninvolved?"
Cui Lie's smile seemed to be poisoned.
Liu Suyi staggered, her eyes filled with anger as she looked at Cui Lie. Her nails dug into her palms, reminding herself to stay calm.
The Jin family are veterans of two dynasties, with outstanding military achievements. The whole family is loyal and devoted to protecting the country of the Great Xia Kingdom. The Marquis is old, and Mo'er is stationed at the border, only returning home once every three years.
Cui Lie came from a humble background, yet he was highly regarded and trusted by the emperor. He opposed the Marquis at every turn, and it is highly likely that the Cui family was behind the trouble at the Marquis's residence.
Liu Suyi took a deep breath and said, "They are not on the family genealogy, so they should not be on the list of exiles."
Liu Suyi's voice was filled with anger. At this moment, she was actually glad because they all looked down on Cheng Qiqi for her lowly status and the fact that she only had one daughter, so they had been delaying the process of including her in the family genealogy.
Upon receiving the news, Liu Suyi immediately wanted to send Jin Sui'an away, because no matter what, he was her son's only bloodline.
"Everyone in the capital knows that the heir of the Marquis of Zhongyong married a country woman as his wife to repay a debt of gratitude, and they had a daughter who was not recorded in the family genealogy. This cannot be said to be untrue."
Cui Lie's sword lifted the white cloth beside him, revealing the prince's wounded body. He raised his hand and pointed the sword directly at the back of the daughter in Cheng Qiqi's arms.
Cheng Qiqi raised her hand to block the sword tip, and seemed to stagger back a step. Looking at Cui Lie's golden armor and his smug eyes, she thought: This person has a grudge against the prince.
"grown ups."
Cheng Qiqi spoke up. Her daughter was only three years old. Even if she had a spatial ability, the journey of exile would surely be fraught with danger. She had to fight for a chance of survival for herself and her daughter.
"Prince Princess?"
Cui Lie spoke with amusement, staring at Cheng Qiqi's face. A country girl, yet she had some beauty.
"Today, Your Excellency's swift and decisive actions will certainly allow me and my daughter to be added to the family genealogy and exiled along with the Marquis's mansion. However, are you not afraid that one day, Your Excellency, others will use this as a pretext to impeach you?"
Cheng Qiqi's voice was firm and resolute. She looked intently at Cui Lie and said, "Why don't you show leniency and give the child a chance to live? You will surely be blessed in the future."
Cui Lie's silence made everyone in the Marquis's mansion tense. Liu Suyi hoped that Mo'er's only bloodline would be safe.
"Cheng Qiqi, don't be ungrateful."
Lin Huilan said urgently, "Once you're listed in the family genealogy, you'll be the rightful heir apparent, and this child will also be a daughter of the Marquis's family."
"Lin Huilan!"
Liu Suyi interrupted her impatiently, her eyes filled with a look of hatred that seemed to want to skin her alive!
"Am I entirely wrong?"
Lin Huilan, having given up all hope, decided that no one would have an easy time: "This child was originally the Crown Prince's daughter; this is just giving her the title she deserves."
"Good, well said." Cui Lie clapped his hands.
Cheng Qiqi's heart sank completely. She gently patted her daughter's back to comfort her, knowing that exile was probably inevitable.
Liu Suying closed her eyes, then suddenly opened them, looking at Cui Lie and saying, "Cui Lie, do you really have to be so ruthless?"
Mo'er's daughter is only three years old. If she goes to exile with them, she will only face death!
"Madam Jin, I'm helping the young master, how can you call it ruthless?"
Cui Lie laughed so hard his teeth were showing. It was so satisfying! Jin Mozhi, who used to be superior to him in every way, was now dead, and his woman, his only daughter, would be exiled!
"The Crown Prince's only daughter isn't even listed in the family genealogy. That's inappropriate. If the Crown Prince is watching from heaven, he will surely approve of what I've done."
Cui Lie felt incredibly pleased to see their angry expressions.
"Cui Lie, you're using this to settle personal scores!"
The thought of losing Mo'er's only bloodline devastated Liu Suyi, and she blurted out without thinking, "You're not even as good as Mo'er's finger!"
Upon hearing this, Cui Lie turned around angrily, raised his hand, and slashed his sword at Wu Ma, who was supporting Liu Suyi. The sword slit her throat, and blood splattered like a pillar, spraying onto Liu Suyi's body.
The blood was bright red, warm and viscous, and carried the smell of rust.
Liu Suyi was stunned. She turned her head and saw Wu Ma looking at her with reluctance in her eyes, as if to say: Madam, this old servant can no longer accompany you.
Cui Lie raised his sword forward, a drop of blood sliding down its tip. A ruthless glint appeared in his eyes: "What right does a criminal who disobeyed the emperor's orders and embezzled military funds have to be compared to me?"
"Even if Jin Mozhi dies, he will have to go to hell to atone for his sins!"
Cui Lie's sword suddenly moved, stabbing into the abdomen of the dead Jin Mozhi, and blood flowed out.
Cui Lie drew his sword, intending to strike a second time.
"grown ups."
Cheng Qiqi knelt down with her daughter in her arms and said, "Although the prince is dead, his merits in fighting for the country, pacifying the northwest, and guarding the border still remain. If people find out that you, sir, even mistreat the prince's body, it will damage your reputation."
Jin Mozhi was a brave and skilled warrior, and had always been a great hero in the capital. Whether the allegations of disobeying the emperor's orders or embezzling military funds were true or not was hard to say, but based on his past military achievements, he should not be treated like this!
Cui Lie paused, the blood-stained tip of his sword resting in front of Cheng Qiqi. Looking at her face, which clearly showed fear yet forced composure, he clicked his tongue and sighed, "What a pity, widowed at such a young age. Why don't you come with me?"
Liu Suyi, who was trying to press down on her son's wound to give him some dignity, suddenly narrowed her eyes upon hearing this. Her gaze towards Cui Lie became even more resentful, and her eyes fell on Cheng Qiqi, her expression turning somber.
"If you follow me, I won't add you to the family register, and you won't have to go into exile with the Jin family. How about it?"
Cui Lie's voice was seductive.
