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

Liu Suyi interrupted coldly, "Shut up, Qiqi is your sister-in-law."

Having been the mistress of the Marquis's mansion for so many years, Jin Xue'er instinctively shrank back in fear.

"She doesn't deserve it!"

Lin Huilan stood in front of her daughter, saying sarcastically, "Liu Suyi, you're supposed to be the daughter of a Grand Tutor, yet you've accepted a country bumpkin as your daughter-in-law."

"That's right. The prince is dead, and that wretched girl born of that country bumpkin is the prince's only heir."

Lin Huilan emphasized the word "after," a mocking smile playing on her lips: "How about we give one of your sons to you as a grandson after Yanzhi gives birth?"

The crown prince died, leaving behind only one queen.

Every word Lin Huilan said was like rubbing salt into Liu Suyi's wounds.

Liu Suyi's face was pale. The thought of her son dying at such a young age filled her with grief.

"Mother."

Cheng Qiqi helped Liu Suyi up and said, "Although the young master is dead, he will always be a hero in our hearts. As for some people who are alive, they are just there to make up the numbers."

Some people... Cheng Qiqi's gaze fell on Lin Huilan. Compared to the brave and skilled warrior Jin Mozhi, Jin Yanzhi was just a spoiled brat who, apart from eating, drinking, and having fun, was utterly useless.

"Qiqi, you're right." Liu Suyi's blurry vision gradually cleared.

"Oh."

Lin Huilan sneered, "Heroes, my foot! If it weren't for the Crown Prince, would we be locked up in this prison? Would our property be confiscated and us exiled? We're all implicated because of Jin Mozhi!"

"He's doing well, dying would have ended everything, but he's made us suffer here."

Lin Huilan grew angrier the more she thought about it. Since they were going to be exiled anyway, Lin Huilan stared intently at Liu Suyi and said, "It's all your fault! It's all your good son's fault that we're in such a terrible situation!"

"I'm going to fight you to the death!"

She rushed towards Liu Suyi. Since she was going to be exiled anyway, Lin Huilan didn't want to endure it any longer.

Isn't Liu Suyi just relying on the fact that she was born into a good family?

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to become the wife of the Marquis of Zhongyong, and she wouldn't have had to become a concubine!

Blame her!

Lin Huilan looked at Liu Suyi with such hatred that she wished she could devour her alive.

"Mother, be careful."

Cheng Qiqi saw Lin Huilan rushing over like a madwoman, grabbed Liu Suyi and stood in front of her!

Just now, Liu Suyi showed her intention to protect her, and she would never allow anyone to bully Liu Suyi.

"Aunt Lin!"

Cheng Qiqi grabbed Lin Huilan's raised hand and said coldly, "How dare you disrespect the mistress of the house?"

Before she transmigrated, she was born into a wealthy family. Her parents were afraid that she would be bullied, so they sent her to learn various fighting skills at a young age. Compared to a woman like Lin Huilan who had long stayed in the inner quarters, she was completely crushed!

"Let go."

Lin Huilan frowned, thinking to herself, "These country folk really have a strong grip."

Liu Suyi, who was being protected behind her, glanced to the side and saw that Jin Sui'an was asleep on Cheng Qiqi's shoulder, looking well-behaved and cute. Cheng Qiqi shook off Lin Huilan's hand with such force that Lin Huilan staggered back a few steps.

Liu Suyi's eyes flashed, and she seized the opportunity to kick Lin Huilan. She said coldly, "If it weren't for my Mo'er, the Marquis's mansion would have collapsed long ago, and you would still be enjoying the riches and honors of the Marquis's mansion!"

Jin Xue'er, who was terrified, could only tug at Lin Huilan's sleeve.

'Bang bang bang'

The prison cell was smashed, and a constable shouted sternly, "No fighting!"

The people in the cell were startled by the loud smashing sound.

"Mother!"

When Liu Suyi saw the old lady being carried in, her eyes instantly showed worry. The old lady used to dote on Mo'er the most, but now that the Marquis's mansion had encountered trouble, and the old lady was getting old...

Cheng Qiqi stood in the corner, holding Jin Sui'an, watching the old lady Jin being brought in, and... the collateral relatives of the Jin family?

Cheng Qiqi's pupils contracted. It seemed that the emperor was trying to eliminate any potential threats at the root!

The small cell, which originally housed only five people, suddenly became crowded with seven or eight more!

"Sister-in-law, how could the young master disobey the emperor's orders? Now look what's happened, everyone has been arrested."

"Second Sister-in-law, we didn't embezzle any military funds, so why are you arresting us too?"

"That's right, we're all innocent..."

One by one, the complaints were directed at Liu Suyi. Liu Suyi sneered, "What? When you all begged Mo Zhi back then, you didn't say this. Now that Mo Zhi is in trouble, who do you want to blame?"

Liu Suyi sat down next to the unconscious old lady. Even though she had long witnessed the coldness of the world, she was still heartbroken. The first, third, and fourth wives had many children, but none of them were good enough. They always made Mo Zhi clean up their messes. And now Mo Zhi had just died!

Mo'er.

Liu Suyi secretly shed tears. The Marquis's mansion had been ransacked, and they had been imprisoned in the imperial prison. She wondered if anyone was preparing a final act of dignity for Mo'er.

Mass grave!

"The Cui family deserves to die!"

In the shadows, Chongshan and Zhishui, who had been guarding the prince's body all the way, saw that the prince's body had been switched out by Cui Lie's men and thrown into the mass grave like garbage. Their eyes turned bloodshot, and they wished they could tear the two guards to pieces!

"Chongshan"

Zhi Shui grabbed Chong Shan's hand, gritting her teeth as she reminded him, "Don't jeopardize the Crown Prince's important matter!"

"You're right."

Chongshan took a deep breath and stared intently at the two guards. He vowed to make sure they never ran into each other again!

Guard A: "Prince? He'll be dead, and his body will just be thrown into a mass grave."

"He's just a sinner. The adults said to throw him away as they please."

As the second guard spoke, he turned back to look at the prince lying amidst the mountain of corpses. "Let's go quickly, this place is eerie."

The two guards drove the carriage at breakneck speed, and just as they started running, Chongshan and Zhishui ran towards the mountain of corpses.

"Your Highness."

When Chongshan and Zhishui got closer, they realized that the prince was still wearing the clothes he had worn in battle, without any dignity whatsoever!

Upon seeing the fresh wound on his abdomen, Chongshan pounded the ground and cursed, "That bastard surnamed Cui, he even dared to desecrate the prince's corpse!"

"This is outrageous! The young master has worked hard all these years, even if he didn't achieve anything great. How can he be treated like this after his death!" Chongshan's heavy breathing spoke of his anger.

"Hurry up and change your clothes, in case they turn around and ambush us, we're done for!"

As Shisui spoke, she quickly began to undress.

"I'll do it."

Chongshan replaced the body with the one he had prepared beforehand, and said worriedly, "What if they come back? Won't they find out that this is a fake prince?"

"Don't worry, this human skin mask is made flawlessly. Besides, this is a mass grave. It's normal to have some blood on it, right?" Shisui raised his hand and wiped some blood from the clothes next to him.

Chongshan and Zhishui carried the prince away.

"Quick, someone's there!"

Hearing the commotion, Zhishui didn't even have time to run before hiding on a nearby hilltop, where tea trees provided cover. Chongshan and Zhishui exchanged a glance: "Zhishui, I'll hold them off for a bit. You take the young master and leave!"

"Don't rush."

Zhi Shui held him down, and as the flames approached and Cui Lie rode a large chestnut horse, he took a deep breath: "We can't outrun him. He's probably here to dispose of the corpses!"

Zhi Shui's eyes were deep, and a raging fire rose in his heart. Cui Lie, the Cui family, once the young master is well, not one of them will be spared!
