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

"Sweet medicine!"

Jin Suian glanced at it, grinned, picked up the bowl, and gulped it down in one go.

"Good girl."

Cheng Qiqi gently rubbed her head, and then felt relieved.

After taking the medicine, Jin Sui'an played for a while and then fell fast asleep. Cheng Qiqi then took out a thermometer and took her temperature, which was 37.8 degrees Celsius.

It's alright.

Cheng Qiqi took out a fever-reducing patch and applied it to Jin Sui'an's forehead. The cool and refreshing patch made the little girl hum and slept even more soundly!

As night deepened, Jin Qing'er returned home and told Li about Jin Xue'er's less than twenty coins.

"Qing'er, it's right that you told Qiqi about this, but Qiqi's way of handling it is also right."

Looking at her daughter's still somewhat immature face, Madam Li said earnestly, "If Qiqi confronts Xue'er immediately, do you think Xue'er will believe who betrayed her?"

"Why did Xue'er complain to you instead of Sheng Lan?" Isn't that because she wanted to use her own daughter as a scapegoat?

Jin Qing'er's expression changed.

Madam Li continued, "Qiqi's way of handling this now can be seen as a warning to Xue'er. If we don't deal with it now, we'll just save it up and deal with it all at once later."

Cheng Qiqi is not the type to suffer a loss.

Jin Qing'er seemed to understand but not quite.

Li gently patted her hand and said, "Qing'er, you only need to remember one thing: listen to your sister-in-law. Do whatever your sister-in-law tells you to do."

From a peasant girl to marrying into the Marquis of Zhongyong's household, she was able to make a good living even while being exiled.

Now that the sugar mill and pickled cabbage businesses are thriving, Li believes that given time, Cheng Qiqi will be able to live a good life in the future!

If her daughter just follows Cheng Qiqi's teachings and learns even a fraction of it, that will be enough to handle the situation.

……

"Young lady, do you think Cheng Qiqi did it on purpose?"

Jin Xue'er took the money and counted it over and over. There was only one hundred coins left for the last five days of work!

"You called me your sister-in-law, so why did you only give me twenty coins?"

Jin Xue'er was extremely dissatisfied, but Lin Huilan interrupted her, saying, "Xue'er, if you don't want to pound rice, wouldn't it be much more uncomfortable to wrap sauerkraut?"

"What's so comfortable about it?"

Jin Xue'er said irritably, "Little sister, you didn't see it! The burly men carrying bags over at the dock were staring at Qing'er and me like they wanted to devour us!"

He only earned twenty coins a day by showing his face in public.

"Then, how about we find a way for you to go to the sugar shop?"

Lin Huilan urged, "Leng Yu doesn't seem to be married yet."

"Little girl."

Jin Xue'er felt a little embarrassed when this was mentioned.

"Don't be shy. If the Marquis's mansion hadn't fallen, with your status as the Marquis's daughter, that Leng fellow wouldn't even be worthy of carrying your shoes. But now..."

Lin Huilan looked at her and said, "These past few years, I've seen no hope of a comeback. You should make plans as soon as possible."

"Young lady, is it really impossible to exonerate the Marquis's family?"

Jin Xue'er frowned deeply.

Since the last time the supplies were delivered, the mattress on the bed wasn't so hard anymore. There were two more sets of clothes in her trunk. She also secretly ran into her father seeing Chongshan and that big-bearded man!

She always felt that perhaps there was a chance to make a comeback?

"I also want to be exonerated."

Lin Huilan sighed.

Jin Xue'er didn't want to talk anymore. Her status as a concubine in the manor was not bad, but now... she knew nothing about anything.

She still had to think about herself.

……

The 29th day of the twelfth lunar month marks the arrival of Lunar New Year's Eve, which is not the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month!

In previous years, the Jin family would have decorated their mansion with lanterns and colorful decorations well in advance, and the kitchen would have been filled with all sorts of delicious dishes.

He even made one new set of clothes after another.

Jin Xue'er looked down at the floral cotton dress she was wearing. Compared to the best brocade dress she used to wear, even her former maids were dressed better than she was now.

Then I looked again and saw it was the New Year's Eve dinner.

"Pheasant soup, stir-fried wild rabbit, pickled fish, pickled radish, cabbage, and bean sprouts."

The six dishes were the most meager New Year's Eve dinner she had ever eaten in her life.

"Three meat dishes, that's really good."

Looking at the three meat dishes, Madam Jin nodded with satisfaction and said, "When we were poor, if our whole family had half a pound of meat to eat, we were considered to be living a good life."

"Come on, let's celebrate that we all survived our exile. From now on, we will all be safe and sound, and things will only get better and better."

Madam Jin, holding a glass of sugarcane juice, said, "Next year will be even better!"

"Yes, next year will be even better."

Marquis Zhongyong picked up a bottle of strong liquor from the town; it had little aroma but was very strong.

"Those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune!"

Liu Suyi held the strong liquor, took a sip, and the family was reunited, except for her Mo'er.

"From now on, our lives will get better and better!"

Cheng Qiqi knew that her mother-in-law missed her son and was thinking about how to comfort her when she saw Liu Suyi, who had been drinking, grinning and saying, "Thank goodness, we all arrived in Lingnan safely. Qiqi, An'an, you are both blessed."

"From now on, you are my own daughter!"

After drinking the wine, Liu Suyi's face seemed to be flushed.

"Suyi, Heaven has shown you mercy; even greater blessings are yet to come."

Marquis Zhongyong was almost bursting with pent-up emotions. He couldn't reveal the news that his son was still alive; he could only hint at it indirectly.

"Yes, the best is yet to come."

Can you bring my son back to life?

Liu Suyi's words resonated deeply in his mind, and he looked at the Marquis of Zhongyong with barely suppressed emotion.

She didn't want to bring this up during the Lunar New Year, lest it upset everyone!

If Mo'er knew, she would definitely be unhappy.

Liu Suyi took a deep breath, stopped drinking, and picked up the sugarcane juice next to her, saying, "Qiqi, the sugarcane juice you made is so sweet. When spring comes next year, Mother will make you new clothes."

"And our little An'an."

Liu Suyi tried her best to make herself happy.

Cheng Qiqi also tried to coax Liu Suyi, and asked An'an to make Liu Suyi happy. Jin Su'an kept calling Liu Suyi "Grandma" and clung to her, making Liu Suyi very happy.

The collateral branches of the Jin family are even counting on Cheng Qiqi to lead them to make money next year!

At the same time, he also instructed the Marquis of Zhongyong to lead them in hunting more things so that they could have some meat to eat when they didn't have money to buy it.

Jin Yanzhi has changed the most; he's become so sweet-talking that he makes everyone happy.

Lin Huilan and Jin Xueer watched this scene, the mother and daughter burying their heads in their food.

"Sister-in-law, I will definitely sell pickled cabbage and pickled radish well next year. I guarantee that our pickled cabbage and pickled radish will be known throughout the whole of Chaozhou County."

Jin Yanzhi has completely changed his previous playboy image and can't wait to go sell sauerkraut. The feeling of earning money with his own hands is really great!

Mmm, my sister-in-law's cooking is delicious!

"Brother Li, tell me, how can I eat your wife's cooking every day?"

Jin Yanzhi, distressed, sought help from his brother Jin Lizhi, who sold sauerkraut with him every day.

"Dad has never agreed to let our family eat together." Jin Yanzhi eats Lin Huilan's cooking every day, but he feels that the food is no longer delicious.

Actually, there is a way.

Jin Lizhi hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
