Confiscated property and exiled? I and the charlatan prince are competing against each other

Jiang Yiqi didn't want to sit next to Shi Henian.

He stood up, walked around, and sat back at Shi Henian's original seat.

Then he opened the small cloth bag Jiang Yining had given him and took out wild fruits wrapped in large leaves.

"Sister, eat this." Jiang Yiqi put the wild fruit on the leaves in front of her like he was presenting a treasure.

Jiang Yining lowered his eyes and saw an elongated, round red fruit inside.

She picked up one and tasted it; it was sweet and sour.

Fortunately, the sweetness is the majority, and the negligible sourness is just a embellishment. It should be because it was picked too early. It will taste sweeter when it is fully ripe.

"Did you pick it?" Jiang Yining was curious.

"I don't recognize it. My dad picked it during our break this morning." Jiang Yiqi explained.

Today, the exile team rested for a while before arriving at the post station, and Jiang Baichuan discovered a goat milk fruit tree.

Because the exile team didn't know these wild mountain fruits, they were afraid that they might be poisonous.

Jiang Baichuan picked all the edible ones, but it was still early in the month and it was not the season for the goat milk fruit to fully ripen, so he only picked a handful that would fill the palm of an adult man's hand.

He wrapped it in leaves and gave it all to Jiang Yiqi.

This fruit was given to me behind Old Lady Jiang’s back.

Because last night Old Madam Jiang found Jiang Baichuan and scolded him severely.

The brief meaning is that since Gu Li has divorced him, those unfilial descendants have voluntarily left the Jiang family, and Jiang Baichuan is not allowed to give them any help in the future.

Therefore, if Old Lady Jiang found these goat milk fruits, even if she was afraid that they were poisonous and dared not eat them, she would not let Jiang Baichuan give them to others at a low price.

But Jiang Baichuan felt like a failed father and was filled with guilt because Gu Li divorced him and his children didn't follow him.

He was penniless, and now all he had were these wild fruits.

"Dad asked us to share the food and taste it. I've been waiting for you to come back for a long time." Jiang Yiqi sighed, holding his chin.

Jiang Yining looked at the goat milk fruit in his hand and fell silent.

She thought of her own father.

When I was a child, I would pick such wild fruits for her to eat when I went to the countryside.

It was a mixture of sweet and sour, but I gave all the sweetness to her and kept the sourness for myself.

She hasn't eaten such wild fruits for several years.

Jiang Yining took another one and put it in his mouth, feeling the sour and sweet taste on the tip of his tongue, while in his heart he was searching for the original owner's memories of Jiang Baichuan.

Jiang Baichuan was not good at studying and only passed the examination to become a student, but he had a talent for farming.

On weekdays, I would go to the villages outside the capital, follow the villagers to the fields and mountains, and get to know many plants in the mountains.

Even in the second room's yard, vegetables are planted instead of flowers.

Because of this, Old Lady Jiang disliked him very much and often accused him of bringing shame to the Jiang family.

Jiang Baichuan was able to serve as the Shaoqing of the Sinong Temple because Shi Henian discovered that he was passionate about farming and had his own research insights on excellent planting. He recommended him to Emperor Jing and he was admitted to the Sinong Temple as an exception.

Even so, Old Lady Jiang still looked down on him.

A second son who has no real power and only knows how to work in the ground and deal with the soil when he becomes an official is naturally not as good as her eldest son who works as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and is flattered by his colleagues.

In the second house, at least Jiang Yining and his siblings supported Jiang Baichuan.

Similarly, he loves and hates Jiang Baichuan.

What they respect is that as a father, Jiang Baichuan really loves them, but the prerequisite is that he cannot go against Old Lady Jiang.

The resentment is also because of Old Mrs. Jiang.

As long as Old Madam Jiang cried or made a fuss, Jiang Baichuan would lose his mind. Even though he knew that Old Madam Jiang was being unreasonable, he had to endure it out of filial piety and asked the second wife to endure it as well.

Therefore, Jiang Yining did not regret the operation that caused Gu Li and Jiang Baichuan to divorce.
