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

"careful."

Cheng Qiqi felt a chill on her hand, and the next moment, a strong and powerful hand pulled her into a 360-degree spin.

The horses neighed, their hooves seemingly brushing against her hair.

Cheng Qiqi's heart almost stopped. When she looked up, she saw those vast and deep eyes and... a full beard!

"Hey, are you blind? Didn't you see my carriage coming? Don't you know how to move aside?"

A delicate shout rang out, and a woman wearing a red cloak stepped out of the carriage.

The cloak was trimmed with white rabbit fur, which made her look warm in the cold winter and also highlighted her noble status!

Still shaken, Cheng Qiqi almost laughed in anger upon hearing the woman's scolding words!

How could she be so self-righteous after hitting someone?

"And you, how did you manage to catch the train? Were you trying to kill me?"

The woman raised her whip and lashed it fiercely at the coachman.

*Snap.*

The whip struck the coachman, but he neither resisted nor dodged. Instead, he knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy, saying, "Please calm down, Miss. Please calm down, Miss."

Cheng Qiqi: "..."

This is how powerful and wealthy people in ancient times behaved. They immediately started beating and scolding their servants. Her gaze darkened slightly as she saw the coachman's back was bruised and bleeding, but she dared not have the slightest thought of resisting.

"Get out of the way, you're in my way."

The woman reached out her hand, and immediately a guard stepped forward, bowed, and stepped down from the carriage.

"You just startled me."

The woman looked at Cheng Qiqi with disdain, and seeing her coarse linen clothes made her seem even more superior.

Jin Mo stepped forward and shielded Cheng Qiqi behind him.

Cheng Qiqi looked up at his broad shoulders, and stepped forward without backing down, saying, "Miss, weren't you the one who almost bumped into us just now?"

"It's your good fortune that I bumped into you."

The woman glanced at her disdainfully, then fixed her gaze on Jin Mozhi: "You're quite skilled."

"Thank you for your kind words, Miss." Jin Mozhi acted as if he couldn't understand her words.

The woman's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Miss Song, it's an honor to have you here. No wonder there are magpies calling in the trees."

Inside Hongji Embroidery Shop, Manager Tong strode over and helped the woman, saying, "Miss Song, the dress you ordered is ready. Would you like to go in and try it on?"

"If you've taken the embroidery work, hurry up and leave. You're still standing here, blocking our business."

Manager Tong gave Cheng Qiqi a quick wink to leave, then lowered her head slightly and said with a radiant smile, "It's been a while, Miss Song, you've become even more beautiful."

"Moon Lady, why haven't you taken the peach blossom pastries to the room on the second floor yet?"

Manager Tong gave the instructions while explaining with a smile, "Miss just delivered a batch of peach blossom pastries, which are about to be sent to Miss Song's residence."

Manager Tong's words were like a gentle breeze; her smile and flattery instantly melted away Song Mingzhu's anger.

"Thank you, Sister Hong."

Song Mingzhu's eyes brightened, and she smiled gently, a stark contrast to her earlier arrogance.

Their voices faded into the distance, and Jin Yanzhi was stunned: "Are the customs in Lingnan this outrageous? In the capital, what young lady would dare to beat and scold her servants like this in the street?"

Of course, it's because noble ladies in Kyoto cherish their reputation and are even more afraid of accidentally offending someone they shouldn't.

Cheng Qiqi watched Song Mingzhu and the others leave, then glanced at the coachman whose skin was torn and bleeding. Her mood grew heavy, and she looked at Jin Mozhi and said, "She wants to recruit you."

"In this life, I will only work for the Jin family."

Without hesitation, Jin Mozhi replied, "Please rest assured, Madam."

lady?

Isn't she the young mistress?

Just as Cheng Qiqi was about to correct him, she heard Jin Yanzhi's indignant voice.

"So we're just going to let it go like this?" Jin Yanzhi had never felt so stifled in Kyoto since he was a child.

"Yanzhi, we can't beat them either; we're still prisoners."

Jin Lizhi reminded him in a low voice.

Jin Yanzhi instantly looked like a defeated rooster!

"If you don't want to be bullied, make yourself stronger!"

Cheng Qiqi hugged the bundle in her arms tightly, glanced back at Hongji Embroidery Building, and knew that one day she would become strong!

Cheng Qiqi's eyes were firm, and she quickly composed herself, saying, "Let's hurry and buy some cotton; it's getting colder and colder at night."

Cheng Qiqi didn't dwell on the near-accident with the carriage. Just as Jin Lizhi said, they were prisoners now, but they wouldn't be prisoners forever.

I'll write down the incident where I almost got knocked over today in my notebook.

A woman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years!

With the money she earned from selling betel nuts, Cheng Qiqi immediately went on a shopping spree. Cotton was a must-buy, as her mother-in-law's cotton-padded jackets were all thin.

Not to mention the coat worn by the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor!

She didn't buy the finer, softer cotton fabric, but instead bought the more durable coarse cotton fabric.

After buying a few things, Cheng Qiqi didn't have much money left. She went directly to the market and bought three catties of meat at twelve coins per catty, spending a total of thirty-six coins!

Cheng Qiqi is quick-witted and even got a free pair of pig offal!

As Jin Yanzhi watched the pig offal on the cart, he could smell the stench even from behind, muttering under his breath, "It stinks so much."

"Jin Yanzhi, if you think it smells bad, then don't eat it tonight."

Cheng Qiqi gave him a cold look. When they were making wild boar offal before, he ate it with more relish than anyone else.

"Sister-in-law, I... I was just muttering something, I didn't mean anything by it."

Jin Yanzhi repeatedly admitted his mistakes, carefully examining Cheng Qiqi. This country sister-in-law was truly... the most unique one he had ever seen!

On her way to exile in Lingnan, Cheng Qiqi had a loyal maidservant who delivered things to her.

Along the way, Cheng Qiqi got to know many things he didn't know. The women of the Jin family, not to mention Jin Xue'er who was pampered and raised, even Jin Qing'er and Gao Shenglan, who came from a martial arts school, all complained about being tired and cried in secret.

Only Cheng Qiqi always had a smile on her face.

She seemed quite calm when she encountered that fierce constable earlier.

Jin Yanzhi, his mind racing, hurried home, asking, "Sister-in-law, don't we still have money? Why can't we buy more meat?"

With so many people, who can eat three pounds of meat?

"These were washed by me, my mother, Shenglan, and Xiaoyun. Are you selling them with Lizhi? Don't you want any money?"

Cheng Qiqi raised an eyebrow, looking at Jin Yanzhi's not-so-bright appearance, thinking that he was lucky to have been born into such a family!

"Sister-in-law, do I get a share of the money too?"

Jin Yanzhi looked at Cheng Qiqi excitedly and said, "Sister-in-law, I need to use my money to buy meat!"

He used to love meat, but in the past few months, he's only eaten meat a handful of times.
