Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Putting down the teacup in her hand, Yu Niang stood up with the help of the table and bowed slightly to Lin Yinan.

"Madam, I still have some work to do in the kitchen. If there's nothing else, I'll go do it first."

Lin Yinan looked at her gently and said, "Go ahead."

Yu Niang turned around and walked out of the county government office. She held the little guy on her back with her hands. Well, her son had become heavier.

In the past, she and her son worked so hard that they never had enough to eat.

My son was born weak and didn't have enough to eat, so he could still walk unsteadily at the age of five.

Now, although it is very tiring here, no one beats or scolds her and her mother. They can eat three full meals a day and even meat every other day.

Although she had only been working there for a short time, she was already receiving two hundred coins a month.

It was the first time in her life that she received so much money. She didn't have to hand it over to anyone and could use it however she wanted.

She left a hundred coins and took them to the kitchen to buy some food for Goudan.

As long as he eats more meat, Goudan's health will get better soon, and next year he will be able to go to school like other children.

She believes that things will get better and better in the future!

Lin Yinan just sat in the yard, staring at Yu Niang's departing back in a daze.

Yun Mo came out from behind and sat next to her, looking outside and then at her expression, "What are you thinking about?"

Lin Yinan came back to his senses and turned to look at him, "Cui Gensheng is still kneeling outside the city gate. If it doesn't work, just have someone throw him out. It's better not to use such a person."

"No, the horse farm is short of people. I will ask him later to see if he is willing to go." Yun Mo said.

"Then just look at the arrangements."

Yun Mo stood up and helped her up, "Go back and rest. I just came out and saw that mother made delicious food for you."

Outside Longtan County.

The sun was blazing brightly as Cui Gensheng knelt upright outside the city gate, his tattered clothes barely covering his body.

Yun Mo came out with his secret guards and looked fiercely at this cowardly and incompetent man who couldn't even protect his wife and children.

Standing in front of him, Yun Mo said coldly, "Yu Niang said that she has divorced you and you have nothing to do with her anymore. Don't bother her anymore."

The extravagant hope in his heart was shattered in an instant, and Cui Gensheng's body staggered.

His mother died, his brother and sister-in-law abandoned him, and now even Yu Niang refused to see him. He didn't know what the point of living was.

Yun Mo continued, "Now I give you two choices. One is to leave Longtan County before we take action, and the other is to sign a contract with us and go to the horse farm to raise horses."

Cui Gensheng raised his head and his eyes lit up when he heard that.

"I'm going to raise horses. I'll do my best. Please don't chase me away, sir."

After saying that, he kowtowed heavily to Yun Mo.

"Then you go with him now."

Yun Mo said a few words to the secret guards beside him, and the secret guards took Cui Gensheng away.

Cui Gensheng looked back every few steps, and hope suddenly arose in his heart. As long as he stayed, he would meet Yu Niang one day.

The horse farm was built in a big mountain behind the county town. The terrain there was hidden, and even the training camp for the secret guards was built there.

Yunzhou Prefecture.

It was five days later that Yu Xunmei woke up again.

Looking at the familiar tent ceiling, the tense string in her heart relaxed.

I struggled to sit up, but every time I moved I felt unbearable pain all over my body.

She could only lie on the bed, bruised and battered, unable to move. She opened her mouth, and her voice was hoarse like sandblasted wood.

"Somebody come!"

The maid pushed the door open with a tray in her hand. Seeing that she woke up, she put down the tray and walked towards her with a happy face.

"Miss, you are awake!"

The maid helped her sit up with difficulty and put a soft pillow under her lower back.

Yu Xunmei grabbed the maid's hand and stared at her, "Who sent me back?"

The maid lowered her eyes and whispered, "It's the master of the house."

"Where are the guards who followed me out?"

The maid shuddered, "No, she didn't come back. That day, the young lady was wrapped in the cloak of the master of the house, and was sent back by the master of the house himself."

Yu Xunmei heaved a sigh of relief, and the murderous intent in his eyes disappeared. "So, they were killed by my father."

The maid nodded nervously, served her meal and then left.

The news that Yu Xunmei had woken up soon reached the ears of the head of the family, and he and his wife hurried to Yu Xunmei's room.

"Xunmei, my son, you finally woke up!" Madam Yu stepped forward and hugged Yu Xunmei into her arms, "Tell your mother, who hurt you like this?"

"Shut up! She is obviously shameless. Who would harm her?" The head of the Yu family shouted angrily.

If she had not seen her own carriage on the official road that day and followed the traces of the carriage to find the dilapidated temple, this unfilial daughter would have died outside long ago.

Yu Xunmei's pale face was covered with tears. She looked up at her father who always loved her. "Father, it was the servant of the Yun family who harmed me. He drugged me and then threw me into the pile of beggars."

The head of the Yu family knew her character very well. Seeing that she was so stubborn and had no reserve at all like a girl, he was furious.

"Let's not discuss this matter any further. From now on, you will be confined to the courtyard and are not allowed to take a single step out of the house."

After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Yu Xunmei fell into Madam Yu's arms and burst into tears, "Mother, look at father, he doesn't care about me anymore!"

Madam Yu patted her back with concern and said with a choked voice, "Xunmei, your father is doing this for your own good. You went too far this time and lost your sense of proportion. If your father hadn't arrived in time and killed those beggars and guards, I'm afraid the whole city would know about this and your reputation would be ruined."

"Mother, I..."

Yu Xunmei wanted to defend herself, but Madam Yu interrupted her, "The doctor said that you have injured your body and it will be difficult for you to get pregnant in the future. You should take good care of yourself during this period. Your father is looking for a good family for you. When you marry into the family, he will give him a concubine. The children born by the concubine will be registered under your name."

Mrs. Yu's words seemed to be comforting, but Yu Xunmei could hear the urgency in her tone.

After Mrs. Yu left, Yu Xunmei got very angry, struggled to get up and smashed the furnishings in the room into a mess.

Yu Qiutao avoided the servants and sneaked into Yu Xunmei's room, but was shocked by the messy room.

Seeing Yu Xunmei lying on the bed crying silently, she quietly walked forward and asked in a low voice, "Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Yu Xunmei heard her voice, turned around and glared at her fiercely, "What are you doing here?"

Yu Qiutao was startled by her eyes, put her hands on her chest, and then walked forward with a worried look.

"I was just worried about you, so I came to see you."

Yu Xunmei had been immersed in aristocratic families since childhood. She rolled her eyes at her poor acting skills and said coldly, "You said before that you knew the servant of the Yun family. Then tell me, where is he now?"

In order to please her, Yu Qiutao had to tell Yu Xunmei everything about her experience on the way to escape famine.

"You mean they went to Longtan County in Nanman Prefecture?"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Yu Xunmei's sinister eyes. If anyone dared to frame her like this, she would make him pay a price worse than death.
