The whole family escaped from famine and accidentally occupied land

As we entered the deep water, the boat speed increased.

Yu Erniang looked back, her expression becoming increasingly indifferent.

After it was quiet outside, Bai Jingzhi came out of the cabin. When he looked up, he saw Yu Erniang standing alone and dejected.

"Miss Yu, are you okay?" Bai Jingzhi followed her gaze and the dozen or so small boats turned into black dots, getting farther and farther away.

"I'm fine." Yu Erniang took a deep breath. "That man is my second uncle. He turned against me because of a concubine who had been home for less than ten days. People will do anything for gold and silver."

Bai Jingzhi did not ask questions proactively. If Yu Erniang wanted to talk, she would just listen quietly.

The Yu family is one of the largest families in Nanzhen and is also very famous in Jucheng.

The Yu family made their fortune on the water and did not want to move away from Nanzhen, so they have settled there for hundreds of years.

There was a period when my family fell into poverty, but it was only with some opportunities that I had the chance to turn things around.

Bai Jingzhi showed approval when he heard this, "Your Yu family's ancestors were also very powerful. They were able to turn things around after reaching that situation. They were very wise."

She didn't ask directly about the opportunity, but just started praising it.

Yu Erniang was proud of it and continued, "It is only because we met a wise ruler that our Yu family has a chance to make a comeback."

"The founding emperor of the Dazhuang Dynasty?" Bai Jingzhi asked tentatively.

Yu Erniang nodded, "It is indeed Emperor Huiyuan, otherwise we would never have been able to turn things around."

Emperor Huiyuan? Bai Jingzhi knew that this was the founding emperor of the Dazhuang Dynasty, and that he had a life-and-death relationship with the ancestors of the Wei family.

She had also heard some stories about Emperor Huiyuan, and she suspected that this founding monarch was a time traveler.

Many laws were very advanced, and the Dazhuang Dynasty was thriving at the beginning of its founding. All walks of life flourished, and many talented people emerged.

Emperor Huiyuan had a shipbuilding blueprint in his hand and posted an imperial edict recruiting people to build it, but no one succeeded.

Later, it was Duke Jing of Wei who discovered the Yu family in Nanzhen, which led to the subsequent rise of the Yu family.

"Duke Jing of Wei?" Bai Jingzhi was surprised that the Yu family and the Wei family had such a connection.

"Yes, it was Duke Jing of Wei. He and Emperor Huiyuan had a life-long friendship and were as close as brothers. However, after a few generations, the Wei family moved back to their ancestral home in Lingzhou."

Yu Erniang showed respect, "We were able to catch the eye of Emperor Huiyuan thanks to Duke Wei Jing's introduction. It took my ancestors three years to build it, and it became famous throughout the world because of it."

Speaking of this, Yu Erniang could not hide her excitement, "I know where to go. After sending you off, I will go to Lingzhou to seek refuge from the Wei family. With this connection, the descendants of Wei Jinggong will definitely take me in."

"I should have thought of this earlier. The Wei family is kind and honest, and they will definitely protect me. Sooner or later, I will expose this concubine who appeared out of nowhere."

Bai Jingzhi stood aside with a strange look on his face, seeming to be hesitant to speak, and finally attracted Yu Erniang's attention.

"Miss Bai, what do you want to say?"

Yu Erniang had a way out, so she relaxed and noticed any slight abnormality of Bai Jingzhi.

"I know the Duke Wei Jing you mentioned. He was the governor of Lingzhou. But two months ago, almost all of the Wei family was wiped out. The emperor sentenced the remaining members of their family to exile in Wujiyuan."

"How can it be!"

After Bai Jingzhi finished speaking, he kept paying attention to Yu Erniang.

Yu Erniang couldn't believe it. "The ancestors of the Wei family had a close relationship with the founding emperor of the Dazhuang Dynasty. How could they end up like this?"

She couldn't accept it. The support she had just thought of was shattered like a bubble.

"how so!"

Bai Jingzhi wanted to confirm whether Yu Erniang's words were unintentional or she was just testing him.

The time when Yu Erniang mentioned the Wei family was too coincidental, and Bai Jingzhi had to doubt it.

Also, she didn't know much about the relationship between the Wei family's ancestors and the Yu family.

"Sister Yue'e, go and invite Sixth Grandpa over."

Zhou Yue'e was not far away, always guarding Bai Jingzhi's safety.

She also played a role in knocking those people into the water just now.

Bai Jingzhi came out of the cabin to talk to Yu Erniang, but Zhou Yue'e stayed by her side and did not return to the cabin.

Zhou Yue'e glanced at Yu Erniang, then turned and went into the cabin. "I'll be back soon."

Zhou Yue'e heard their conversation clearly.

The cabin is large, but still a bit noisy.

When Zhou Yue'e came in, those people took their bedding and left.

Wei Liu assigned places to these people and saw Zhou Yue'e coming in. "Where's Jingzhi? It's cold outside, why don't you come in! We are moving very fast now, those people won't catch up."

"Sixth Grandfather, Jingzhi is asking you to go out for a while. I have something to ask you." Zhou Yue'e didn't say much. She found Wei Hongmian and said, "Aunt, get Jingzhi some thick clothes. It's a bit cold outside because the wind is strong."

Wei Hongmian understood and turned to look through his bag. "This one is good. Let her wear it first."

When the dress was taken out, Old Lady Zhou couldn't take her eyes off it. "We bought such good ones for our family, but we got rid of them with these inferior leathers."

"Mom, stop talking." Zhou Wen scratched his head, a little impatient. "It's good enough to have something to wear. We didn't spend a penny. Stop nagging like that. It's so annoying!"

Old Mrs. Zhou's face was covered with bruises and she felt embarrassed to be contradicted by her own son.

"Bah! My daughter-in-law's family is the governor, they have all kinds of good things, but it's just a piece of leather clothing, why are you so jealous? You are so short-sighted!"

Old Mrs. Bai didn't hold it in. She immediately frowned and said a few words to Old Mrs. Zhou.

With many people trying to stop them, the two old ladies didn't start arguing in the end.

Wei Hongmian was helpless. He was criticized just for not taking the cotton clothes he bought from Liu County.

She bought this fur coat in her original world, which was just enough to cover Jingzhi's entire body.

This girl's health is much worse than that of her previous world. If she sweats a little, she will get a stuffy nose and a cold if the breeze blows.

She saw that the girl secretly took cold medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine several times in the villa.

"Forget it, I'll go with you to take a look." Wei Hongmian hugged the clothes back into his arms, put on a simple fur coat, and followed him out of the cabin.

"Ahh~"

Bai Jingzhi sneezed.

"You stupid girl, you're obviously afraid of the cold but you don't wear thick clothes!"

Wei Hongmian took a few quick steps, draped the snow-white fur over his daughter, and wrapped her up completely.

"Mom, it's okay. You'll feel better once you get in."

Bai Jingzhi shrank his neck and avoided his mother's murderous gaze.

"Sixth Grandfather, there is some connection between Miss Yu's ancestors and the Wei family's ancestors."

Bai Jingzhi quickly changed the subject and called Wei Liu over.

Some things are not suitable for others to hear, so Bai Jingzhi didn't want to go back to the cabin to talk.

"Yu Family, could it be that your father is Yu Dun?"

"That's my father's name!" Yu Erniang was puzzled. "How did you know that?"

She was sure that she had not mentioned her father's name.

"I am Wei De, the chief steward of the Wei family. I received the letter from your father half a year ago."

Yu Erniang was stunned. "The chief steward of the Wei family?"
