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

"I don't want to."

Without hesitation, Cheng Qiqi's clear voice rang out: "I belong to the young master in life and in death; I will never remarry in this lifetime!"

With the help of her spatial ability, Cheng Qiqi is confident that she can live a good life wherever she goes with her daughter.

Remarry?

She's not out of her mind. In ancient times, which man didn't have three wives and four concubines? What's so great about a rotten cucumber?

Not to mention that the man in front of her is an enemy of the prince. If she were to actually be out of her mind and agree, she would probably die an even more miserable death. It would be better for her to go into exile with him!

Liu Suyi's eyes lit up, and her gaze towards Cheng Qiqi was filled with complex emotions.

Cui Lie's eyes darkened, and he drew an arc in the air with the sword in his hand, the tip of the sword pointing directly at Cheng Qiqi.

Blood dripped from the cold tip of the sword, forming droplets.

Cheng Qiqi's heart skipped a beat, but she calmly said, "My lord, you were ordered by the Emperor to confiscate our property, but you weren't told to use torture in private, were you?"

"Now that I'm listed in the Jin family genealogy, I'm a member of the Marquis of Zhongyong's household."

Dressed in mourning clothes, she knelt upright, holding her child. Her face was pale, but her eyes shone like stars.

Cui Lie's sword grazed Cheng Qiqi's face as he gave a mocking laugh: "You have deep feelings for Jin Mozhi, but unfortunately, the Jin family doesn't want you and your daughter to live!"

Cui Lie's eyes flickered slightly, and he pointed his sword to the side: "Thanks to the Jin family for informing on me, otherwise, how would I have remembered that Jin Mozhi has a crown princess and a daughter?"

"Lin Huilan?"

Liu Suyi glared at Lin Huilan through gritted teeth. She had said that Cheng Qiqi and her daughter had almost no presence in the Marquis's mansion or in the capital. How come they brought Cheng Qiqi and her daughter along when they were confiscating the property?

Lin Huilan was caught red-handed and panicked for a moment, then said innocently, "The prince is gone. Shouldn't his wife and daughter come to pay their respects?"

Since we're going to have our homes confiscated and be exiled anyway, what's there to be afraid of?

As for Cheng Qiqi and her mother, do they still want to stay out of it?

Dream on!

If we're going to die, we'll all die together!

"you……"

Liu Suyi was so angry she didn't know what to say. Cheng Qiqi took out some steamed buns from her bundle and said, "Mother, there's no need to be angry. Eat some steamed buns."

She just spoke up for me, so I gave her some steamed buns too.

"..."

Liu Suyi looked at Cheng Qiqi with a complicated expression.

"Hahaha~"

Lin Huilan's mocking laughter seemed to alleviate the pain of her home being ransacked. She sneered, "Country folks are just not presentable. Even when they're about to die, they're still thinking about steamed buns. They're like reincarnated starving ghosts."

"The poor prince's body was barely cold when his wife was already eating meat buns."

Lin Huilan spoke sarcastically, and the thought of all the jewelry and beautiful clothes she had saved up over the years being gone in an instant made her so angry that she almost vomited blood!

"I hope that Aunt Lin will have the same backbone when she gets to prison."

Cheng Qiqi said calmly, looking at Liu Suyi, "Only by surviving can we clear the name of the young master and exonerate the Marquis's mansion."

"An'an, give this to Grandma."

Cheng Qiqi handed the steamed buns to her daughter.

Jin Sui'an timidly offered the meat bun to Liu Suyi, saying in a clear voice, "Grandma, have a bun."

Liu Suyi took the steamed bun, which was still warm. She took the bun and ate it in big bites. Only by surviving could she clear her son's name and exonerate the Marquis's mansion!

The aroma of meat buns mingled with the smell of blood, and Lin Huilan was stunned. What did it matter if she had won against Liu Suyi in a moment of verbal sparring?

They are about to be taken to prison.

"Guards, take them all to the imperial prison. Three days later, they will be exiled to Lingnan!"

Cui Lie didn't care about those few steamed buns; he knew he would face many hardships on his journey to Lingnan.

"Lingnan? Can we even survive there?"

When Lin Huilan heard about Lingnan, her vision went black again and again. It was a place rife with miasma, poisonous insects, and ferocious beasts, and it was more than a thousand miles away from the capital.

"Poor Sui'an, you're still so young, how can you endure this?"

Liu Suyi couldn't even eat the steamed buns anymore. Looking at Jin Sui'an, who was only three years old, and then at the injured Marquis, she was overcome with grief.

"Why should we bear the consequences of our elder brother's mistakes? I don't want to be exiled, I don't want to die!"

A man dressed in bright green clothes stood up, his eyes filled with fear of exile. He stood up and tried to run away.

"what……"

The next moment, a scream rang out, and the brightly colored figure was instantly kicked several meters away.

Cui Lie stepped forward and stomped on his back.

"Please have mercy, sir."

Stunned, Lin Huilan scrambled toward Jin Yanzhi, but after only two steps, a guard held a sword to her neck. She swallowed her words of concern and could only watch her son helplessly.

"Arrest him and take him away."

Cui Lie didn't even bother to glance at him. Immediately, two guards dragged Jin Yanzhi up. Jin Yanzhi tried to speak, but a rag was stuffed into his mouth, and he fell silent instantly.

The entire Marquis's mansion was shrouded in deathly silence, except for Cheng Qiqi's bright eyes!

Lingnan is wonderful, with so many fruit trees, like lychees, longans, and coconuts... she loves them all.

Seafood is plentiful; fish, shrimp, and crabs are everywhere.

If you live near the sea, you can also make sea salt. In ancient times, salt was very important!

Most importantly, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, which is much better than being imprisoned in a noble family's mansion.

Heaven Prison.

"Ah, a mouse."

A scream rang out, and Cheng Qiqi looked over with her daughter in her arms. It was Lin Huilan's daughter, Jin Xue'er. She hadn't made a fuss at the Marquis's residence before, but unexpectedly, she was terrified.

"Mother, I don't want to stay here. Please have Father take me out."

"I am the only daughter of the Marquis's family. I... I don't want to stay in the prison."

Jin Xue'er looked down on the Heavenly Prison in every way.

"Sweetie, we'll be leaving here soon."

Lin Huilan's comforting words were clearly ineffective. Jin Xue'er instructed Cheng Qiqi, "Cheng Qiqi, take off your clothes and use them as padding."

After a bumpy journey, her daughter had fallen asleep, and Cheng Qiqi was just about to take a nap in her arms when she heard Jin Xue'er's words. She raised an eyebrow and glanced sideways: "Jin Xue'er, you don't still think you're the daughter of a noble family, do you?"

She used to be tolerant in the Marquis's mansion, but that was only because she didn't want a peaceful life and wanted to avoid trouble. Now that she's about to be exiled, if she continues to tolerate it, she'll just be a coward!

"How dare you talk to me like that!"

Enraged, Jin Xueer rushed forward, grabbed Cheng Qiqi's hand, and raised her hand to slap her!

Cheng Qiqi hugged her daughter and dodged to the side, causing Jin Xue'er's slap to land directly on the prison wall. Her hand was sticky with sweat. Jin Xue'er was both angry and annoyed. She turned around and glared fiercely at Cheng Qiqi, saying, "You actually dared to dodge!"

"stop!"

Liu Suyi stepped forward. Even though she was dressed in plain clothes, lacking the luxurious attire and jewelry of her youth, she still looked every bit the mistress of the Marquis's mansion.

The fierce Jin Xue'er instantly fell silent. She sheepishly withdrew her hand, pursed her lips, and said, "She's the one who doesn't know what's good for her. This place is so dirty, and she didn't even take off her clothes to cushion me. She even dared to mock me for not being a daughter of a marquis!"
