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

"Oh my, how come our An'an is so well-behaved!"

Liu Suyi hugged Jin Sui'an and kissed her. Her sweet and soft granddaughter, who knew how to care for her grandfather, was so endearing.

"Your grandfather works hard to earn money so that An'an can have a good life. An'an can have as many candied hawthorns as she wants!"

Liu Suyi reached out and tidied An'an's hair, saying, "An'an, Grandma is rich!"

How could her granddaughter be so reluctant to eat even a few candied hawthorns?

"Walk."

Liu Suyi led Jin Suian to buy candied hawthorns, and not only candied hawthorns, but also some pastries.

Cheng Qiqi smiled with relief as she watched this scene. Although her daughter didn't have a father to love her, she had her grandparents and uncle to love her.

"Let's go, hurry up."

As the bailiffs' voices rang out, Cheng Qiqi stepped aside. Turning around, she saw the bailiffs seemingly herding several prisoners out of the city.

"Good riddance! They were all up to no good!"

"To rid the people of harm."

Listening to the whispers of the people around her, Cheng Qiqi knew without asking that these prisoners must have done something wrong.

"Sister-in-law, let's stay away."

Jin Lizhi spoke up, pushing the carriage and standing protectively beside Cheng Qiqi.

"Um."

Cheng Qiqi was preoccupied with Liu Suyi and her daughter beside her, so she didn't look at them much. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of two familiar faces, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips!

That was a really good catch!

"Jin Lizhi, go back and tell your Shenglan that the thugs who bullied us last time have been arrested. Shenglan will definitely be happy to hear that."

As Cheng Qiqi spoke, she reminded Jin Lizhi of those two people.

Jin Lizhi glanced at it and wished he could rush forward and give it a good beating.

"It seems even God can't stand to see them bullying the weak."

Cheng Qiqi was in an exceptionally good mood.

"Mom, have some candied hawthorn."

Jin Suian got the candied hawthorn and happily handed it to Cheng Qiqi. She was swallowing her own saliva, but she still gave it to Cheng Qiqi first.

"Sweetie, An'an, eat first."

Cheng Qiqi took the candied hawthorn and fed it directly to Jin Sui'an's mouth, letting her eat it first.

"So sweet."

Jin Suian ate one, then gave one to Cheng Qiqi, and then gave one to Liu Suyi, making Liu Suyi even happier.

Hongji Embroidery Building.

"Steward Tong, we agreed to pick up the double-sided embroidered purse today, and now you're telling me the road is blocked? We can't go get it?"

Song Mingzhu happily came to pick up the double-sided embroidered purse. The double-sided embroidered purse that was finished in the prefectural city would definitely make her look good at her coming-of-age banquet tomorrow!

To her surprise, Steward Tong told her that the road from the county to Annan Prefecture was cut off.

They can't deliver it.

"Miss Song."

Manager Tong bowed deeply, her body bent at a right angle. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry. To express our apology, our Embroidery Pavilion is willing to compensate you."

Do you think I'm short of money?

Song Mingzhu's face darkened with anger, and her voice unconsciously rose several octaves as she said, "What's the use of 'sorry'? I need a double-sided embroidered purse!"

"Miss Song, perhaps the road will be open tomorrow?"

Manager Tong was extremely anxious. Who knew that the water level would suddenly rise, and the route that used to be possible by walking along the riverbed would now require a detour.

Because of this detour, I won't be able to give you the money I was supposed to give you today.

"You mean, I should come back tomorrow and wait for my wallet?"

Song Mingzhu raised her eyelids and said coldly, "Today, I must see the double-sided embroidered purse, otherwise..."

"Miss Song, please have a seat and some snacks. I'll go take another look."

Manager Tong was worried and hurriedly went out to send someone to ask if it was possible to deliver it tonight, even if it took a detour.

"Manager Tong, this purse has fallen into the water and gotten wet. Where are we going to find it tomorrow?"

The Moon Maiden whispered that it was true the road was impassable and that they had to take a detour, but when they received the news, the carriage had rolled over, spilling everything on the ground, and the embroidered purse they had planned to make had fallen into the ditch.

"Miss Song insists on having this purse, probably for her coming-of-age banquet tomorrow. If she really can't find it, I'm afraid..."

Manager Tong's heart sank. Song Mingzhu's identity was extraordinary, and if things really got out of hand, it would affect the business of the embroidery shop.

"Moon Lady, do you know where that Madam Cheng who did the double-sided embroidery last time lives? Is there any way to find her?"

Manager Tong, in his desperation, asked, "Try to find her. That day she took the order to embroider a double-sided purse; who knows, she might have actually succeeded?"

"I...I don't know."

Moon Lady shook her head and said, "I only know that she lives in Guihua Village, but there are so many people in Guihua Village. Should I ask someone to inquire about her now?"

Yue Niang was also anxious. She felt comfortable and at ease working at Hongji Embroidery Building because of Manager Tong. If it were another manager, her life would not be so easy.

Just as Yue Niang was anxiously trying to send someone to Guihua Village to inquire, she suddenly saw a figure at the entrance of the embroidered building, and it was as if she had seen a savior!

"Madam Cheng!"

Moon Lady excitedly stepped forward and asked, "Cheng Qiqi, have you finished embroidering the double-sided purse?"

Yue Niang's gaze was fixed on Cheng Qiqi, her expectation evident in her eyes.

"alright."

Seeing Yue Niang's excited expression, Cheng Qiqi had an idea and looked up at the second floor.

"It's you."

Standing on the railing upstairs, Song Mingzhu recognized Cheng Qiqi at a glance. She said, "Are you here to kowtow to me?"

Unable to obtain the double-sided embroidered purse, Song Mingzhu was already feeling irritable, hence her particularly unpleasant tone of voice.

kowtow?

Liu Suyi held Jin Sui'an's hand, looking at Cheng Qiqi with concern.

"The double-sided embroidered pouch is finished. Miss Song, you'd better prepare your money and lucky money."

Cheng Qiqi took out the embroidered purse directly from her bundle. The material was exquisite and the color scheme was beautiful!

Especially the lifelike butterflies, which look as if they are about to take flight, are so captivating that you can't take your eyes off them.

"You...you really finished embroidering it?"

Song Mingzhu snatched the purse, tore it open, and sure enough, there was a butterfly on the outside and a beautiful hibiscus flower inside. When she opened the purse to take out the silver, the hibiscus flower seemed to quietly bloom.

"this……"

Song Mingzhu looked at it again and again. The stitches were so fine that they were practically invisible, and even the color scheme was to her liking.

"good."

Song Mingzhu was overjoyed; her wallet was secured for tomorrow!

"Danruo, give me the money."

Song Mingzhu happily took the purse, her face beaming with joy.

Cheng Qiqi saw the thousand coins and started counting them while looking at Yue Niang.

Moon Lady said, "Miss Song, last time you said... if the embroidery is finished, you'd give me three shuttles of cloth. I wonder how many feet of three shuttles of cloth Miss Song would like?"

Before Song Mingzhu, who was holding the purse, could answer, Cheng Qiqi said, "Yueniang, Miss Song is a lady from a prominent family. If she really wanted to use it as a prize, how could it be just a few feet of cloth? That would be too low-class for Miss Song."

Cheng Qiqi smiled and said, word by word, "It has to be a bolt of cloth."
