Old Mrs. Tian sneered, and her face trembled. "Humph, this child is the flesh and blood of our Tian family. Besides, we didn't want her because our family was poor. There was nothing we could do. When the child grows up, she still has to respect her grandmother and her biological father!"

Tian Zhuang also said: "That's right, she has the blood of the Tian family flowing in her veins, her life belongs to me, if she forgets her roots in the future, I will not forgive her."

Xing Er said weakly, "The grace of raising a child is not as great as the grace of giving birth to him. It will be good if Xue Er grows up and knows the truth and doesn't hate us anymore. Do you still expect her to take care of us in our old age? Don't bother her."

Tian Zhuang said unhappily, "Why do you always go against your will? That's all for the future. I'm going to Wen's tomorrow to work there. I can see Xue'er often and remind her not to forget her roots."

"I think you'd better not make trouble for yourself. Madam Wen will never use you."

Old Lady Tian suddenly raised her voice: "Why doesn't she need it? I can give her a child for free!"

It was obviously the Tian family who threw Xue'er away, and the Wen family picked her up. It wasn't like the Wen family took advantage of the Tian family. Xing'er couldn't help but complain in her heart, but she just thought about it and didn't say it out loud. It was impossible to reason with the mother and son.

The next day, Tian Zhuang went there as expected. When he arrived at Wen Ji, he found that there were at least a dozen people who came to register. Tian Zhuang was afraid that if he went too late, others would be admitted, so he cut in line and demanded to register his name first, shouting that his daughter was in Wen Ji. He was ridiculed by people from the same village who had also come to register, and he got into a fight with them.

Wen Qingcheng went to the county town to protect Li Muwan's pregnancy, and then went to the donkey-hide gelatin shop. After coming back, she heard from Wen Ji's people that Tian Zhuang was making trouble, and she was very angry.

"Don't let him in in the future. Does he still want to work here? We in Wen's family are so harmonious. If he comes, there will be chaos every other day." Wen Qingcheng gave a death order directly, and no one was allowed to let Tian Zhuang in.

Wen Zhuo sighed, "He also said that his daughter is at Wen's. I think he thinks Xue'er has taken good care of her and wants to take her back in the future."

"No wonder people say that when you adopt a child, you should adopt one from far away, and it's best if you don't know each other. As for the Tian family, when Xue'er grows up, they will definitely tell her. But I don't plan to hide it from Xue'er. If they are kind people, I won't object to her recognizing her relatives in the future. But those people in the Tian family don't really want to give up their child. They just want to treat Xue'er as a blood slave because we are doing well, so they can suck her blood in the future."

Wen Zhuo said: "Who said it wasn't true? Don't worry, Tian Zhuang won't dare to say anything nonsense with me here."

"Uncle, Wen Ji will rely on you from now on. I will be going to Kyoto in a while."

"What? You're going to Kyoto? How many days will you stay?" Wen Zhuo was a little surprised.

"I don't know. I'm going to go to Brother Mo. When I'm stable in Kyoto, I can open a Wen Ji in Kyoto. Then, we can all go to Kyoto."

Wen Zhuo smiled, he didn't think that far ahead. In Wen Zhuo's opinion, Wen Qingcheng and Mo Jinghong were husband and wife, so it was better for them to be together. Although they were not husband and wife, it was only a matter of time before they got together, as they had a good relationship. Long-term separation would also weaken their feelings. Mo Jinghong had a big family and a big business, so it was the best thing for Wen Qingcheng to go there.

"When you arrive in Kyoto, write a letter to let me know you're safe. Your uncle will be at home taking care of you. When you leave, it's best to find an escort agency to escort you. You're a little girl, and the journey is so long. There are all kinds of people out there, and I'm a little worried." Wen Zhuo said with some concern.

"When Brother Mo left, he left two shadow guards behind. One of them escorted me, and the other stayed in Crescent Village to protect the Wen family."

Wen Zhuo nodded, knowing that all of Mo Jinghong's shadow guards were top-notch masters, so he no longer worried about Wen Qingcheng's safety.

"When do you plan to leave?"

"I'll be leaving next month. The pulse of the young lady of the Ji family is stable now, and we've found someone to run our donkey-hide gelatin shop. As for the partners, they will be managed by my uncle in the future."

"What does your mother say about this?"

"I mentioned it to her last time. I wanted to go to Kyoto to find Brother Mo. She had no objection. As long as I live well, my mother will not stop me." Wen Qingcheng finished speaking and suddenly remembered something. "By the way, I went to the Ji Mansion today. The young master of the Ji Mansion said that he could give me two places in Luming Academy. I only need to pass a simple exam to enroll. I want to give these two places to Tingyu and Zicheng."

Wen Zhuo's eyes lit up. This Luming Academy was the best academy in the county, with many famous teachers. The library alone was three stories high. Many top scholars and even a top scholar were born in this academy. However, Luming Academy was a place that could not be visited even if one had money. Only outstanding students from Qinghe County and even nearby counties could enter.

"This Young Master Ji is the principal of Luming Academy, right?" Wen Zhuo asked.

"Yes, although our village school is convenient, the teaching quality of Luming Academy is better. In order to make them successful in the future, we should let them go to Luming Academy if we have the conditions. When they pass the imperial examinations in the future, it will also bring honor to our family."

Wen Zhuo smiled even more deeply. The Wen family had been farming for generations and had never left the village. Now, with Wen Qingcheng's generation, they had finally made a fortune. If Zicheng and Tingyu could pass the imperial examinations in the future, it would be a great honor for their ancestors.

In the next month, Wen Qingcheng took care of everything, and Li Muwan's pulse stabilized. After Wen Qingcheng handed over to the doctor of the Ji family, she prepared to leave for Kyoto.

The family's carriage had to be left behind, so Wen Qingcheng went to the county town and bought a small carriage that could just seat two people. Yinfu had a horse, so he could harness it directly to the carriage.

Ye Xiuying helped Wen Qingcheng pack her luggage at home. Wen Qingcheng looked at the five large boxes, which even contained pots and pans, and fell into deep thought.

"Qingcheng, come here. There is a secret pocket inside this cotton coat. I sewed a banknote inside for you. And I also hid money under the insole of this pair of boots."

"Mom, I'm just going to Kyoto, not to escape famine. Yinfu said that if we travel fast day and night, we can get there in seven days."

"Poor at home, rich on the road. You're right to listen to your mother. Just bring a little change. You can bring more valuables and hide them in your clothes."

"Okay, okay, I'll bring more money, but forget about the pots and pans. The carriage isn't big enough to fit so many of them in."

"If you are outside the city and cannot find a place to stay, you can build a fire in the wild to cook. I have prepared oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. It will be enough for you to eat for seven days."

Ye Xiuying had a lot of worries, and Wen Qingcheng didn't want to take them with her. Even if they couldn't find a place to eat, they could buy dry food in the city in advance. But seeing that Ye Xiuying had prepared carefully, it was not good to refuse her kindness. Anyway, she had a space, and when the time came, they could put everything in the space, and it wouldn't take up any space.

"Okay, okay, I'll take it, but I'll take fewer clothes, two sets of clothes to change into and one set of pajamas." Wen Qingcheng opened the box and picked out everything that was really unnecessary. "Mom, these are men's clothes, right? Why did you put them in there for me?"
