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

"Good girl, An'an."

Jin Sui'an gulped down the water in one go, and with the comfort of her mother and grandmother, she quickly fell asleep again.

Cheng Qiqi held her daughter all night and couldn't sleep until her daughter's fever slowly subsided, at which point she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Beside her was Liu Suyi, who was also awake.

On the second day in prison, breakfast was still thin porridge and steamed buns. The Jin family, who had been hungry, also did not eat. However, Liu Suyi fed the old lady the porridge and steamed buns!

"Sister-in-law, this porridge used to be so unpalatable that even the dog wouldn't eat it when we kept it at home."

Madam He, the eldest wife of a branch of the Jin family, spoke up with a pained expression, saying, "How could the old lady drink such porridge?"

"Sister-in-law, are you capable of getting medicine? Or are you capable of getting delicious food?" Liu Suyi's words silenced He Shi completely.

Ha, if we don't eat now, we'll still have to eat tomorrow, won't we?

The old lady, half-asleep, drank some steamed buns soaked in porridge and then fell into a deep sleep again.

Cheng Qiqi ate her porridge, which she had replaced with rice water she had cooked herself, and she had also replaced the steamed buns. She was curious how long the Jin family could hold out.

At the same time, Cheng Qiqi also completely figured out the relationship between these people in the collateral branch of the Jin family.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Madam He, was married to Meng Jingyao, and had a daughter, Jin Yun, who was only five or six years old.

There was also a timid girl named Jin Xuan'er hiding in a corner. According to Liu Suyi, she was the daughter of her aunt.

The third wife, Wen, and Gao Shenglan, who had been married for less than a month.

The fourth wife, Madam Li, brought her daughter, Jin Qing'er, who was about to come of age.

It must be said that the collateral branches indeed had a large number of offspring.

This only includes the female relatives; not counting concubines, there are already eight people.

At noon, eight members of the Jin family's collateral relatives ate the steamed buns, complaining about them but still managing to eat them.

"I won't eat it, even a dog wouldn't eat it."

Jin Xue'er was so hungry that she didn't even have the strength to speak, but she still pursed her lips and refused to eat no matter what.

By evening, Jin Xue'er was starving.

Lin Huilan was startled. Forget about thin porridge and unidentifiable steamed buns; anything to fill her stomach would do. Jin Xue'er absolutely refused to eat. Lin Huilan said, "Xue'er, if you keep insisting, won't you starve to death?"

Jin Xueer: "..."

Half-heartedly, Lin Huilan forced him to eat the thin porridge and steamed buns, and he vomited as he ate.

……

At the foot of an unnamed mountain, in a farmer's house.

"Young Master, wake up! Tomorrow, the entire Marquis's family will be paraded through the streets and exiled."

Chongshan gently wiped the prince's body with a handkerchief.

These past two days, the prince has been so hot that he could boil an egg, and so cold that even ten quilts couldn't keep him warm.

Zhi Shui and Doctor Hu were decocting medicine when Zhi Shui asked, "Old Hu, can't we really go see the Marquis and his wife? And Miss Sui'an too?"

Fearing discovery, they all disguised themselves and dared not call him Doctor Hu anymore, only calling him Old Hu.

"The young master is still in danger, his fate unknown; he cannot afford the slightest further harm!"

Doctor Hu glanced at them and said, "We'll discuss everything after the young master wakes up."

Cui Lie didn't even spare the Crown Prince's corpse; if he saw them or sensed anything, it would all be over.

On the third day, the Jin family was arrested and exiled. The numb Jin family seemed to know that disaster was imminent.

"Sister-in-law, your maternal family, under the tutelage of Grand Tutor Liu, surely won't abandon you, will they?"

"Second sister-in-law, we are all counting on you. Exile is hard, and Lingnan is even harder. I heard that the miasma there is terrible."

"Yes, Second Sister-in-law, Lingnan is so far away. If we had nothing, we don't know how hard the journey would have been!"

The eldest wife, Madam He, the third wife, Madam Wen, and the fourth wife, Madam Li, all stared longingly at Liu Suyi!

They were from a collateral branch of the Jin family, and they only lived a good life in the capital because of the reputation of the Marquis of Zhongyong. Now that their family has been raided and they have been exiled, those who used to fawn over the powerful and bully the weak will definitely not care about them!

"I have long since lost contact with the Grand Tutor's mansion."

Liu Suyi's expression darkened further when she thought of her father. She had disobeyed him and married the Marquis of Zhongyong, severing all ties with the Liu family long ago!

"What grudge could this father and daughter possibly hold against each other overnight!"

The eldest wife, Madam He, darted around with her eyes darting about, as if she wanted to say something, when she saw the yamen runners arrive.

The group was led out of the prison by the yamen runners. The blinding sun made the Jin family, who hadn't seen sunlight for three days, instinctively shield their eyes from the sun!

Cheng Qiqi turned to the side and lowered her head to block the light for her daughter. Fortunately, there was fever reducer and water in the space, and her daughter's fever subsided the next day, and she was able to eat and drink.

"My lord!"

Lin Huilan, weeping, threw herself before the wounded Marquis Zhongyong, crying, "You must avenge me!"

"hiss."

Marquis Zhongyong was covered in wounds and had been resting in the prison for three days, which made him even weaker. When Lin Huilan pounced on him, he was in even more pain!

"Second Uncle, are you alright?"

Jin Runzhi, the son of the third wife, helped the Marquis Zhongyong up and said, "Aunt Lin, if you really care about your second uncle, then stay away from him."

"That's right, Second Uncle was already covered in injuries."

The eldest son, Jin Lizhi, was supported on the other side. He and Jin Runzhi exchanged a glance. The young master was dead. How could a playboy like Jin Yanzhi compare to them?

If we can gain the Marquis's special favor, we might have a chance when the Marquis's mansion makes a comeback.

"Mom, I'm so hungry, I'm starving!"

"Even the dogs won't eat the porridge and steamed buns in the cell. You need to figure out a way to get me some food."

Jin Yanzhi, the biological son, was not as good to his father as his two cousins. He started complaining of being hungry as soon as he saw Lin Huilan.

"Yanzhi, you've lost so much weight. Mother will go get some food right away."

Lin Huilan didn't finish her sentence; she was also extremely hungry.

"Get them in the prison van!"

The yamen runners chased people away with whips.

The Jin family, consisting of over twenty people, was divided into two groups: one car full of men and another full of women, and they were all put directly into prison vans.

"Seven Seven".

Liu Suyi found a spot for Cheng Qiqi next to the old lady, letting her hold the child and squeeze into the middle.

As Cheng Qiqi was wondering, she saw that Madam He from the eldest branch of the family placed her youngest granddaughter, Jin Yun, in the middle. Jin Yun was only five or six years old, and her innocent eyes were filled with fear.

Will someone throw rotten eggs or vegetable leaves at me later?

"Serves you right, you caused us to suffer a defeat."

"Bah! You parasites who suck our blood and sweat, Your Majesty is wise!"

A single vegetable leaf was tossed into the prison van, accompanied by foul language. The crowd was furious, and soon, not only vegetable leaves, but even rotten eggs were thrown out...

"The Marquis and the Heir Apparent have not rendered any service; they would never do such a thing."

Someone spoke up for the Jin family, but was immediately silenced by the envious crowd: "Bah! It was the soldiers who won, what does it have to do with the Marquis's mansion?"

"Their household is so wealthy; it's all from embezzled money!"

"Kill the corrupt officials!"

They're throwing away vegetable scraps even more!

Rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were thrown in through the gaps in the prison van. Liu Suyi excitedly defended her son: "Mo'er isn't that kind of person! He didn't embezzle the money!"

"He's not a corrupt official!"
