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

"Heitu said that with the roof tiles, the house will be brighter."

Liu Suyi's voice rang out, "Look, in each of our rooms, there are several roof tiles."

"Oh, it's brighter now."

Cheng Qiqi felt that something was wrong. It was good enough that the roof didn't leak, so why would they think of making the room brighter?

"Mom, will I still be able to look at the stars from bed?"

Jin Sui'an held Cheng Qiqi in his arms and looked up at her curiously, asking.

"Should..." No.

Cheng Qiqi was halfway through her sentence when she looked down and saw her daughter's bright eyes. Not wanting to disappoint her, she knelt down and looked her daughter in the eye, saying, "We can see the moonlight, just like we can see the stars!"

"Really?"

Jin Suian looked up at the bright tiles with great curiosity, looking at them here and there.

"Uncle Beard, aren't you scared climbing so high?"

"Uncle Beard, would you like some water?"

Jin Sui'an ran in and out, looking up at Jin Mozhi standing on the roof, who appeared exceptionally tall!

"I'm not afraid of heights."

"I'm not thirsty."

Jin Mozhi answered patiently, looking at his daughter's small face, and thought with heartache: He had to get some meat for his daughter to eat!

"Wow, Uncle Beard is amazing!"

Jin Sui'an clapped his hands as he spoke.

In the kitchen, Cheng Qiqi, who was preparing wild vegetable porridge for dinner, couldn't help but laugh as she listened to her daughter talking to Heitu. At the same time, she also glanced curiously at Heitu, who was repairing the roof!

They are truly loyal to the Crown Prince. Even after the Crown Prince's death, they still dote on his daughter!

"Suyi, we're back!"

The Marquis of Zhongyong's excited voice rang out from outside.

"My lord, you... why are you covered in blood? Are you injured?"

Liu Suyi had just finished brewing the medicine and was feeding it to the old lady when she saw that the Marquis of Zhongyong was covered in blood, and she was immediately worried!

"It's nothing, just a minor injury."

Marquis Zhongyong said nonchalantly, "Today when we went to cut camphor wood, we encountered three wild boars. We followed Lord Zhao and killed them. Look, I even lost a leg!"

Liu Suyi glanced at the wild boar meat, and finally looked at the bloody wound on the Marquis of Zhongyong's arm, saying, "I'll apply medicine for you right away."

"Dad, I'll cook. We're having wild boar meat tonight!"

Cheng Qiqi was extremely excited when she heard about wild boar meat. Looking at the pig leg, she was incredibly curious. He must have put in a lot of effort, otherwise, even three wild boars wouldn't have been able to share this pig leg.

"So, are these ours, or...?" Cheng Qiqi was carrying a pig's leg, weighing about ten pounds, including the meat.

"It's ours; each of the three families got a pound of meat!"

After Marquis Zhongyong finished explaining, Liu Suyi pulled him away to apply the medicine!

Behind them, the three branches of the Jin family were all beaming with joy!

Lin Huilan, Jin Xueer, and Jin Yanzhi began to worry: Shouldn't they get a share of the meat?

Aside from the wild boar and fish we encountered on the way to exile, we haven't eaten such good meat since!

Cheng Qiqi brought her culinary skills to the extreme, stewing a big pot of pig's trotters. The broth, full of meaty flavor, would be delicious even if you just cooked some noodles the next day!

She scalded the pig skin off by pressing it against the iron pot, leaving it charred. With a quick scrape of her cleaver, it was clean in an instant.

Wait a few days, the pig skin won't spoil easily, and then we can use it to make radish soup, which will be another delicious dish!

She saved half of the wild boar meat to cook tomorrow, and used the other half to stew potatoes. The journey to exile was so arduous, and the Marquis of Zhongyong and the others were doing heavy work on the mountain. If they didn't eat something good, their bodies probably wouldn't be able to take it.

The aroma of stewed pig's trotters wafted out, bubbling and gurgling.

The three branches of the Jin family were also preparing meat, and everyone's faces were beaming with joy!

After being beaten several times for chopping firewood in the yard, Jin Yanzhi saw his father's attitude and now he doesn't dare to be lazy at all!

Lin Huilan and Jin Xueer didn't dare to sit idle either. As soon as they got home, the mother and daughter started carrying water into the vat.

It's getting dark. Go up the mountain to gather firewood? No way!

The house was very poor, and there was nothing to clean. The only thing to do was carry water. Two people would carry a bucket of water, making about ten trips, and they could slowly fill the vat.

Every time a bucket of water was brought in, Lin Huilan and Jin Xueer would stare at the meat in the pot and swallow their saliva frantically!

When we first arrived, we ate fish, but fish is no match for meat.

Cheng Qiqi watched as the mother and daughter, drenched in sweat, carried water into the kitchen, raised an eyebrow, and said nothing.

In the evening, before it was even dark, Cheng Qiqi added meat broth to her wild vegetable porridge, along with pig's trotter soup and wild boar stew with potatoes. The table, which was limping, was laid out with such a sumptuous spread for the first time!

"Uncle Beard, you're amazing!"

Jin Suian's exclamation rang out. Cheng Qiqi looked up and saw those long, outstanding legs leaping down from the roof. His slender figure seemed capable of flight.

That effortless leap and the way he landed seemed to possess an indescribable air of coolness.

Well, if you ignore the full beard on his face.

Cheng Qiqi looked away.

"Sui'an, Miss, how about I pick you up? That way, you can stand taller."

Jin Mozhi landed in front of his daughter, and seeing her excited little face flushed, his eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Mother, may I?"

Jin Sui'an turned around, his eyes filled with pleading as he looked at Cheng Qiqi!

Cheng Qiqi hesitated for a moment, then the Marquis of Zhongyong, who had finished changing her bandages, came out and said, "Of course you can, you can even ride a horse!"

"Take good care of An'an, and don't let her fall."

Marquis Zhongyong glanced at Heitu. It was only natural for a son to want to be close to his daughter!

Jin Mozhi picked up Jin Sui'an almost immediately. The instant feeling of being lifted into the air made Jin Sui'an extremely excited. When she was riding on Jin Mozhi's shoulders, Jin Sui'an's joy was beyond words.

Cheng Qiqi's lips moved, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

The courtyard was filled with Jin Suian's happy laughter until Jin Runzhi arrived just before dinner.

"Second Uncle, Sister-in-law, can I...can I trade the meat for pig's trotter soup?"

Jin Runzhi, holding a bowl of wild boar meat, said apologetically, "It's pig's trotter soup, good for Shenglan who's pregnant. I, I..."

Marquis Zhongyong glanced at the bowl of wild boar meat and nodded, saying, "That's fine."

"I'll install it."

Cheng Qiqi filled a bowl with meat and added a bowl of pig's trotter soup: "We'll use it to cook noodles tomorrow, it'll be delicious!"

"Thank you, sister-in-law, for this soup..." Jin Runzhi looked at the extra bowl of soup and felt even more embarrassed.

"Your sister-in-law feels sorry for Shenglan because she's pregnant, so take this."

Marquis Zhongyong looked at Cheng Qiqi with satisfaction.

When it was time to eat, Marquis Zhongyong said, "Qiqi, bring out another bowl of meat and a bowl of soup. Chongshan and Heitu are repairing the roof at home today, so they can't be left out."

Upon hearing Marquis Zhongyong's words, Lin Huilan, Jin Xueer, and Jin Yanzhi all had different expressions. However, having learned from the previous experience, none of them dared to speak. After all, if it weren't for Marquis Zhongyong, it was hard to say whether they would eat wild boar meat or be eaten by wild boar.
