Jiang Nianwei took the pancake and was stunned for a long time before she slowly spoke, "I haven't noticed you before. What's your name?"

The woman raised her head, her eyes clear as water, and answered softly, "My name is Hu Lianxue. If the cloth shop hadn't extended a helping hand and pitied me for being alone and helpless, I'm afraid I would still be wandering around with nowhere to go."

Hu Lianxue's appearance was really impressive, but for her, it was unclear whether it was a blessing or a curse. Jiang Nianwei thanked her: "Thank you for the pancakes. In this way, you can stay here with peace of mind in the future."

"If I have the chance, I will definitely repay you, young lady."

Jiang Nianwei shook her head. "You don't need to be so reserved. There is no difference in status between you and me. You can just call me by my name. My name is Jiang Nianwei."

After that, the other women stuffed a lot of things into her hands, including clothes and food. Jiang Nianwei wanted to refuse, but they were so sincere and affectionate that she couldn't refuse.

On the way back, she once again whispered to Jiang Lixuan: "Second brother, you must be very careful on this trip. Do you remember what I mentioned to you?"

Jiang Lixuan nodded, "Of course I remember. You asked me to stop Miss Xie from going out hunting on the third day of January."

She nodded slightly and sighed softly, "That's exactly what I want to do. I hope you can complete it. In addition, the girl named Hu Lianxue, I have always felt that she is extraordinary from her words and actions. You need to pay more attention to her. If she needs anything or gets into trouble, please lend a hand and give her a helping hand."

Jiang Lixuan responded solemnly: "Don't worry, sister, I will keep it in mind and handle it properly."

Afterwards, Jiang Nianwei finished her preparations and packed all the necessary items into her bag.

Jiang Yan and Jing Qiudie were reluctant to let their son go, but considering their son's future, they had no choice but to give up.

Jiang Siyu tightly grasped her second brother's sleeve, tears welling up in her eyes as if they would burst out at any time.

Jiang Lanxu patted his shoulder solemnly, "Lixuan, take care."

The group set off and embarked on the road of exile again.

Jiang Lixuan stood on the hillside, looking at his family members leaving from afar, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart.

However, he did not realize that Xie Wangshu was already riding a horse not far from him.

Jiang Lixuan was slightly surprised, "Miss Xie, why are you here?"

Xie Wangshu jumped off his horse and said, "I know you can't bear to leave your family, but your father is Lord Jiang Yan. I have heard of his great reputation, but I never thought that your sister is also very courageous. If it weren't for my limited ability, I really want to keep them all!"

Jiang Lixuan clasped his fists in thanks, "I am extremely grateful that you can help me like this!"

……

Once again embarking on the road of exile, Jiang Shen was still not honest. He was flirting with Yunniang along the way and ignored the doctor's advice to take care of himself.

Jiang Mian was upset when he saw this, and would rather walk with Qin Ziqian, and shared the meat buns he brought with him, "Brother-in-law, you eat this."

At this time, Zhuang Qiuhe pretended not to see it. After all, they could only eat some hard pancakes, and meat buns were much more fragrant than this.

Chun Yu witnessed the scene just now, and felt quite emotional. He then described what he saw to Jiang Nianwei in detail, "Miss, I think that young lady seems to have feelings for Mr. Qin."

Jiang Nianwei has long been aware of Jiang Mian's character. She is not a good person. She once betrayed her mother for personal gain, and there is no guarantee that she will not betray them for other reasons in the future.

What's more, there was no deep friendship between them and Jiang Mian, and Jiang Mian had never looked down on them.

Jiang Nianwei said calmly: "Forget it, just let her go."

Not only did she not intend to interfere with Jiang Mian's feelings, she even planned to secretly lend her a helping hand and promote the relationship between her and Qin Ziqian.

After all, this was a "deal" between Jiang Mian and her.

Along the way, Jiang Nianwei discovered that there was something wrong with a white horse. While staying in a wild inn in the mountain village, she checked it out. After touching its belly, she found that the mare was pregnant.

Coal stood guard beside the mare like a human being. Jiang Nianwei said helplessly, "The foal in her belly should be your child, right? But don't worry, I won't abandon your wife and child, and I will take good care of it along the way."

My eldest sister-in-law is also pregnant. She is now more than eight months pregnant and will be born in more than a month.

Firstly, this action could accumulate good karma and blessings for her sister-in-law; secondly, the pony bred by coal would surely be a fine and sturdy horse, and besides, the man and the horse now had feelings for each other, so she naturally would not be so cruel.

Jiang Nianwei looked at the mare's slightly bulging belly and suddenly had another idea.

She asked her eldest brother to buy the only horse from the wild shop. The owner was overjoyed and treated them much better. He even generously gave them some fresh mutton.

Aunt Liu set up a pot on the spot. She carefully handled the mutton, washed off the blood, and then put it into the pot, added ingredients and simmered it over low heat.

Soon, a pot of fragrant mutton soup was successfully cooked. The rich meat aroma was mouth-watering.

On a windy night, after drinking a bowl of milky white mutton soup, I felt warm in my stomach and my whole body was warmed up.

Jiang Mian suffered last time and learned his lesson this time. He never dared to drink the soup they stewed casually again. But Jiang Hao had no scruples.

After seeing that he was fine after drinking one bowl, Jiang Mian carefully asked for another bowl. This time, Jiang Nianwei did not embarrass her. Instead, she was kind to her, "If it's not enough, there are more here."

Jiang Mian secretly speculated in her heart that perhaps it was her previous act of sacrificing her own relatives for the sake of justice that won her some favor from Jiang Nianwei.

She had a smile on her face and agreed with her mouth, but she was sneering in her heart.

Jiang Nianwei is so naive that she trusts others so easily.

This is a good thing, she can take this opportunity and make use of it cleverly.

"Thank you for your concern, cousin."

Jiang Mian carefully carried the bowl of steaming mutton soup, avoiding everyone's sight, and secretly presented it to Qin Ziqian.

With a shy blush on her face, she explained softly, "Brother-in-law, my cousin may be a little cold, but I can't be ungrateful. I specially left this bowl of mutton soup for you. I hope it can dispel the coldness and warm your body."

Qin Ziqian couldn't help but feel moved. Along the way, Jiang Mian was the only one who was always thinking about him.

Qin Mengrui, who was not far away, smelled the aroma of mutton in the air and stared at the bowl of mutton soup eagerly.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Qin Ziqian's face. He hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up the lower half bowl of hot soup and handed it to his sister.

He drank the remaining half bowl without hesitation, and the warm current instantly spread in his abdomen.

Just as Jiang Mian said, his body was indeed no longer as cold as before.

People often say that a friend in need is a friend indeed. If this is true, Qin Ziqian would develop some unusual feelings.

Jiang Mian deliberately explained with a nervous look: "When I was abducted to the bandit camp, the bandits didn't do anything excessive to me. But my cousin was so pitiful. She was taken away for a while, and I don't know what terrible thing happened to her?"

Sure enough, after hearing the news, Qin Ziqian frowned, as if he was touched by something unclean, and there was obvious disgust in his eyes.

He said in a deep voice: "I hope you are okay."

Zhuang Qiuhe happened to catch these words. She couldn't help but feel angry. She sneered and said sarcastically, "Humph, Jiang Nianwei is just that kind of woman! No wonder Ziqian abandoned her! Not only is she jealous, but she also has no sense of shame."

Jiang Mian stood aside, like a pure and flawless little white flower. She softly comforted her, "Auntie, please don't say that."

Zhuang Qiuhe waved her hand nonchalantly, and said angrily: "What's wrong with saying a few words to her? If it weren't for her, how could our family end up like this!"

Now seeing that Jiang Mian had a weak personality, and she was also Jiang Nianwei’s cousin, she changed her attitude and comforted Jiang Mian first, “You must be different from her, it would be great if you were my daughter-in-law.

……

Jiang Nianwei asked Chunyu to continue watching their actions, "In the future, if she needs anything again, especially food, you should report to me immediately. I will prepare it from my place, and you can pass it to her."

Chun Yu couldn't help but sigh, "Okay Miss, but this lady is really strange. She actually used our things to please Qin Ziqian."

Jiang Nianwei raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. This was exactly the result she wanted.

In Jiang Mian's opinion, she might think that she was cleverly using Jiang Nianwei, but Jiang Nianwei was secretly plotting and using her to achieve her own goals.

Abei sat quietly aside, holding a bowl of steaming mutton soup in his hand, seemingly savoring it attentively, but his eyes drifted in the direction of Jiang Nianwei from time to time.

When he heard her mention Qin Ziqian's name, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

Could it be that she is still thinking about her ex-husband?

This thought flashed through Abei's mind, making him feel an indescribable disgust towards Qin Ziqian.

He also knew a little about Jiang Nianwei's past. It was this man who had wronged her first, and now she had ended up like this, which was a retribution for her evil deeds. He didn't want to see the two of them get back together.

Just as Ah Bei was immersed in these chaotic thoughts, Jiang Nianwei suddenly handed him a cowhide bag and said, "Ah Bei, there is something I want to ask you for help with."

He was stunned for a moment, then looked up at her, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he quickly suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and replied respectfully: "Miss, if you have any instructions, just tell me directly."

"Please help me collect the urine of the pregnant white horse every day. I need it."

Collecting urine from a pregnant white horse? What was the purpose? But he knew that Jiang Nianwei must have a deep meaning behind her actions, so he stopped asking and just nodded and said, "Yes, Miss. Ah Bei will do it right away."

Jiang Nianwei just admired this kind of character of his and never talked too much or asked too many questions.

Ever since they had gone through the test of life and death together in the bandit camp, she had known that Abei was a trustworthy person.

Keeping him around is undoubtedly a wise decision.

With the care of her elder brother and father, she didn't think he would become a cruel official like in his previous life. Instead, he might become a loyal bodyguard.

What's more, Abei is extremely intelligent. Whether he is studying poetry or practicing martial arts, he can quickly comprehend and make rapid progress.

After eating and drinking, she took a short rest, then couldn't wait to pull up Jiang Siyu, Chunyu and Taozhi, ready to pester her eldest brother to teach her some martial arts.

Jiang Lanxu pondered for a moment and selected a few practical and simple moves. He practiced them repeatedly, striving to make every move clear and understandable, and then taught them one by one.

In fact, Jiang Nianwei had already memorized the moves taught by her elder brother, and she was very adept at practicing them.

But considering that the others learn relatively slowly, they are forced to do this every day to “keep fit”.

In this way, if we really encounter danger in the future, everyone will have some kung fu to rely on and will not be at a loss.

Jiang Mian just found it boring. She was definitely not going to learn these mediocre kung fu which was so crude.

As a woman, all she needs to do is find a reliable man. What's the point for a woman to learn these skills?

Moreover, Zhuang Qiuhe was relieved. She would really have the opportunity to marry Qin Ziqian in the future. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel excited.

Late at night, everything is silent.

After everyone fell asleep, Jiang Nianwei followed her consciousness into the space and began to sort out the bottles and jars she had collected before. She looked at the notes on them, which contained not only tonic medicines, but also deadly poisons and even aphrodisiacs...

As for this medicine furnace, it at least looks old, and the patterns on it are also very exquisite. Even if it is pawned, it will definitely be able to exchange for a considerable sum of silver.

Jiang Nianwei classified all the medicines and then opened one yellowed book after another, which recorded the formulas and refining methods of various medicines. After reading them once, she memorized them by heart.

There were even a few pornographic picture albums mixed in there, but fortunately, after seeing some modern things, Jiang Nianwei could appreciate these picture albums without blushing or getting nervous, and the paintings on them seemed to be very delicate, and there were few of them circulating in the market, so maybe they could be sold for a good price.

After doing all this, she suddenly felt tired and fell asleep unknowingly.

A few hours later, before the darkness had completely faded, she quietly got up and began to get busy.

Jiang Nianwei processed the mare urine that she had painstakingly collected yesterday. Relying on her previous memory, after some careful boiling and filtering, the urine was finally concentrated into a small pot of colorless and odorless liquid.

Pregnant mares' urine is rich in gestational estrone, a substance often used in modern medicine to treat estrogen deficiency in menopausal women, but she had other purposes in collecting the urine.

Jiang Nianwei had already figured everything out in her mind.

She planned to secretly add horse urine into the food and let Qin Ziqian take it unknowingly through Jiang Mian.

For men, taking too much estrogen will have immeasurable consequences. Thinking of this, Jiang Nianwei couldn't help laughing and was eager to see Qin Ziqian's next appearance.
