I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Ji Xiaobei's face changed, and she deliberately did not inform Qiu Jiaojiao.

He Ye was dismissed from his post, and Mr. He tied him up and took him back to the capital.

But given He Ye's personality, he would definitely not surrender.

Ji Xiaobei wants Jiaojiao and He Ye to live a stable life.

Seeing two people rushing over with the child, I felt a little uncomfortable.

Ji Xiaobei hates owing favors to others the most.

She pulled Jiaojiao to the back of the carriage and asked seriously, "Why are you here? If you are here to give me something, I welcome you. But please go back quickly after delivering it. It's too cold outside the city. An An is weak, don't get sick."

Jiaojiao looked at Ji Xiaobei with a smile: "Sister, you said you would not abandon us."

Ji Xiaobei didn't have a smile on his face. "I did say that, and I promised Master Qiu that I would take good care of you and your daughter. Now that you have He Ye, my mission is also completed. You should live a good life."

“Sister, I can’t enter the He family with my identity, and I don’t want to implicate He Ye.

I packed up early this morning and wanted to come with you, but before I left, He Ye showed up..."

Ji Xiaobei: "Then what do you want to do?"

"I'll follow you to the northwest to cultivate the land. My grandfather said that my biological parents are in the Western Frontier. What if we meet them? And I also want to see my grandfather..."

Jiaojiao's voice became smaller and smaller.

Ji Xiaobei could only nod.

Over there, Fu Jichang was scolding He Ye and not letting him go to the northwest.

If he stays honestly with his father in the capital, Minister He will definitely arrange a good position for him.

He Ye is smart and hardworking, and he will definitely achieve great success.

Fu Jichang broke down the truth and explained it to He Ye.

He Ye just shook his head and said, he doesn't care.

Fu Jichang added: "What about the business I entrusted to you? Don't let us both lose our salaries and even the business in the end."

"Don't worry about the business. Taoranju, Nianbeilou, and your tea house and cloth shop... I have arranged everything! Anyway, you won't starve to death."

He Ye was smiling, and that expression formed a sharp contrast with Fu Jichang's worry and anxiety.

An hour later, the troops set off.

Three children, Jiaojiao and Ji Xiaobei were sitting in a carriage.

Close behind was the carriage of Princess Huang Po, and behind that was the one that Lang Ning was sitting in.

The carriages behind were carrying luggage and belongings.

He Ye and Fu Jichang rode their horses and walked in front with their guards.

After walking for about two hours, the people at the back began to fall behind.

The men in the official family rode horses, and their families rode in carriages.

Following behind were the farm workers with their families, but their journey was not easy.

Most of the men walked, while the cars carried the luggage and the women, who would go to the military farms almost every year.

Although it is hard work, I can save a lot of money to build a house and get married.

If someone is not feeling well, they will stop going and will be replaced by another group of strong and healthy people.

The Minister of Agriculture’s men would go along every year, and this year it was Ye Tianguan, who worked under Lord Cao.

He had been to Anzhou several times with Lord Cao and met Fu Jichang.

Ye Tianguan said respectfully, "Master Fu, the inn is a few miles away. We will rest there tonight. Someone has already gone to make arrangements."

Fu Jichang nodded. This was his first time to carry out this mission. He had been observing secretly since leaving the capital.

After walking for a whole day, the people in the carriage could not stretch their bodies and felt uncomfortable all over.

People who walk are so tired that their bones are about to fall apart.

After entering the inn, Ji Xiaobei and Jiaojiao carried the three children who were still half asleep down.

Ji Xiaobei felt that an angry gaze was staring at her.

She turned her head and saw a plump white face.

Mrs. Tong!

Why is she here?

Ji Xiaobei heard that someone from the Ministry of Rites would go with them, but how could it be the Minister of Rites?

It's never his turn to do this job.

Ji Xiaobei looked at her in surprise, and she turned her head away and stopped looking at Ji Xiaobei.

Fu Jichang glanced at Mrs. Tong, who was on the verge of a fight, and wondered how Ji Xiaobei had offended her.

He came over to protect Ji Xiaobei and whispered, "Put the child back first!"

The two of them carried the child to the second floor of the inn.

Fu Jichang put Zhengzheng on the bed and left. Jiaojiao came in holding Anan.

After Ji Xiaobei settled the children, he wanted to ask Fu Jichang what was going on with Lord Tong, but he couldn't find any trace of him.

Later, Ji Xiaobei heard from Ye Tianguan's wife that Lord Tong had been in close contact with Prince Qing, and was implicated. He was demoted twice and ordered to follow him to the northwest to cultivate land...

Ji Xiaobei sighed.

Lord Tong doesn't understand, but this evil woman is really not a good person.

She couldn't help but think of Tong Menglou, the gentle girl who was almost harmed by Madam Tong.

After walking all day, people went to bed early. The hall on the first floor was very quiet, with only a few guards on duty.

Suddenly, a young guard turned around and smiled at Ji Xiaobei.

Ji Xiaobei couldn't help but shout out: "Aqi..."

Aqi has grown a lot taller. Although he still doesn't deserve the name Tong Qiang, he looks like a young man.

Aqi turned around and greeted Ji Xiaobei, then handed Ji Xiaobei something hot.

"Sister, roasted sweet potatoes, they just gave them to me, you eat them..."

"Aqi, did you know that Minister Tong is also in the team?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

Aqi nodded and said, "He has looked for me, but I have nothing to do with him. I have already told Master Fu that I just want to be a little guard."

Ji Xiaobei: ...This kid has really big ambitions!

Everyone has his own aspirations, as long as he is happy, that's enough.

Ji Xiaobei turned around with the hot sweet potato in his hand and was about to go up the stairs when he saw a dark shadow flash past the stairs.

Ji Xiaobei's heart tightened: "Who?"

She took a step forward, ready to pull out the person hiding behind the stairs.

A girl's voice rang out: "Ji, Miss Ji, it's me!"

Ji Xiaobei just felt that the voice was familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

Then I heard the girl whisper, "I'm Tong Menglou, Sister Ji, do you know my brother?"

After she finished speaking, she glanced quietly to the side.

Ji Xiaobei: Okay, all the Tong family members are here.

Ji Xiaobei hummed and said, "I know you. It's not safe outside, Miss Tong. You should go back quickly!"

Tong Menglou lowered his head and nodded, then looked towards Aqi.

She sighed softly and went upstairs.

Ji Xiaobei followed him upstairs and watched Tong Menglou enter the house.

After Tong Menglou entered the room, he put the pair of knee pads in his hand back into the box.

Tong Qiang lived in the mansion for a period of time when he was a child. The lady always bullied him, so he ran away secretly.

Unexpectedly, he also went to the Northwest this time.

In the afternoon, he heard his parents arguing. His father thought that this trip was a good opportunity and wanted to have more contact with his younger brother and improve their relationship, but his mother was unhappy.

The insults he gave to Tong Qiang were very unpleasant.

They said he was the son of a bitch and was not worthy of entering the Tong family.

Tong Menglou couldn't bear to listen any more.

When Tong Qiang lived in the mansion, she was still young and ignorant, and she followed others to bully Tong Qiang. She wanted to take the opportunity to apologize to him, but she was afraid that he would not be willing to acknowledge her as his sister.

……

During the days on the road, the weather was cold, but the sun was shining brightly.

People can still endure walking during the day and resting at an inn at night.

A strong wind started blowing last night and it howled all night long.

When Ji Xiaobei got up in the morning, she pushed open the door and the biting air rushed into her nostrils, making her shiver.

The sky was gloomy, as if there was a black pot on it.

Little bits of snow like millet grains fell from the sky, and soon the ground was covered with a layer of icy ice.

People in the yard took out oilcloth and hurriedly covered the luggage.

Fu Jichang hurried over to the guest room and knocked on Ji Xiaobei's door.
