Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

"You child," Madam Sun sighed:

"It's still Miss Jiaojiao's temper..."

"If the Sun family were still in its heyday, you would have no problem choosing any of the princes and nobles in the capital."

"But what's the current situation of the Sun family... You've seen the plight of your fifth aunt and your eldest sister. If you don't have a good man to protect you, I'm afraid it would be difficult for a girl like you to reach Aguta with a clean record."

"If the Sun family ever reaches the end of their rope, I'm afraid even mother won't be able to protect you..."

Madam Sun sighed.

Mao Tuanzi also sighed in his space: [This Madam Sun can see clearly about past and future lives, but it’s a pity that her plan is wrong.]

[I should never, ever, have provoked this great demon, the host. So, no matter how much I worry, it won't end well!]

Qu Xiaoxiao: “…”

Why does Jiutong always demonize her? Is she that scary?

At this time, Madam Sun was still persuading Sun Qingqing:

"Why did mother let you get close to the prince?"

"Even though the Situ family has fallen, they still have royal blood flowing through their veins."

"Especially the Crown Prince. The Emperor hasn't truly disdained him, and hasn't even stripped him of his title. I'm sure he still has some favor for him. Otherwise, how could he have traveled alone in a carriage? That must have been the Emperor's will."

Qu Xiaoxiao, who was also using her spiritual sense to eavesdrop on the situation in the carriage, said: "..."

You know what, Madam Sun is worthy of being from a wealthy family. Her analysis is very reasonable, and even she feels that it makes sense.

If this carriage didn't belong to her, she might believe it.

"Really, Mother?"

Sun Qingqing's eyes lit up, and the enthusiasm that had just been suppressed was rekindled. If what her mother said was true, then Situ Zhige's identity could be used to great effect.

And if she used it well, she might even be able to receive more preferential treatment than just now. Perhaps one day in the future, she could even use this connection to return to her wealthy home...

"Yes, silly girl. So, what's the point of enduring humiliation for a while?"

"Like your sister, even if she wanted to, she wouldn't have such a good opportunity now..."

Madam Sun said with some regret.

"I understand, mother,"

Sun Qingqing clenched her fists, her eyes gleaming with determination. Given this situation, she must seize this rare opportunity, capture Situ Zhige, and become the Crown Prince's wife in Prince Jin's mansion.

Even if she is a poor prince's wife.

That's better than marrying a peddler in exile, or having a fleeting romance with any official along the way.

The two were talking animatedly, but Sun Yaozu, who was standing by, was not happy about it.

It turned out that he had made such a fuss in vain, and he didn't get to eat anything good, but the relationship between his mother and him became better.

"Mom, I'm hungry~" Sun Yaozu acted coquettishly.

Madam Sun's eyes rolled and a plan came to her mind:

"Yaozu, mother really has nothing to eat here. You see, your second sister can't do anything now."

"Why don't you go take a look at that carriage? Your second sister said it's full of delicious food..."

"Really?" Sun Yaozu was skeptical.

Although the male protagonist is young at this time, he is not stupid. He is afraid that Madam Sun is just coaxing him. After all, Madam Sun said last time that his mother would leave the meat for him, but Sun Wanru didn't give it to him at all.

"Nature is true,"

Madam Sun swore solemnly: "Your second sister looked into the carriage from the window and saw it."

"Can they give me food?"

Sun Yaozu remained skeptical of Madam Sun's instigation.

But he was also really hungry—not just hungry, but also greedy. Hearing that there were all kinds of delicious food in the carriage, his mouth was already watering.

"My dear son, that carriage was specially approved by the officials for your future brother-in-law to sit in. Your sister Qu Xiaoxiao is sitting in it."

"You're different from Qingqing. You're Qu Xiaoxiao's biological brother, born to the same father and mother. Tell me, if you ask her for food in front of your future brother-in-law, would she have the nerve to refuse you?"

"This……"

Sun Yaozu still couldn't make up his mind.

In the past, he would have rushed over without hesitation after hearing what Madam Sun said.

But now Sun Yaozu knew that Qu Xiaoxiao was not someone to be trifled with. For example, the kick he received last time still hurt him.

As the male protagonist of the small world, Sun Yaozu has actually been very good at observing people's expressions since he was a child.

He knew exactly who to bully and who to please. Sun Qingqing saw his hesitation and chimed in:

"Good brother, what are you afraid of?"

"Even if Qu Xiaoxiao disregards the relationship between siblings, with the prince beside her, she will always be cautious. At least she won't dare to hurt you, so don't worry."

If the mother and daughter tried to persuade Sun Yaozu so earnestly, they naturally had no good intentions.

Madam Sun was seeking revenge and intentionally causing trouble for Qu Xiaoxiao; Sun Qingqing took the opportunity to let Situ Zhige see how heartless and heartless Qu Xiaoxiao's fiancé was.

By then, she will naturally appear to be beautiful, kind, gentle and virtuous.

Sun Yaozu was still young at the moment, and after being encouraged by the two men, he mustered up the courage. But he didn't dare to go alone, so he agreed to bring Sun Qingqing along.

Sun Qingqing thought about it and agreed.

If she wanted to successfully snatch Situ Zhige away from her on the road to exile, she would have to have some entanglement. Whether it was good or bad, entanglement was the only way to have a chance, right?

You can't get anything done just by saving face, let alone this excuse that comes right to your door.

By evening, the exiles had settled in a sparsely populated village. They were halfway north from Kyoto and were about to pass through Tongzhou Prefecture.

Tongzhou was an important transportation hub and hub prefecture in the central part of Wubie State.

In recent days, groups of refugees from various prefectures have gradually been seen passing through here. Due to the famines of the past few years, many places have not yet recovered this year.

There is still war in the south.

There are many groups of people who have to flee to other places due to various reasons.

For example, in the village where they are staying tonight, the empty houses are left behind by people who have fled elsewhere.

The officials chose three of the largest and best houses to live in, while the other exiles were gathered in several abandoned ancestral halls in the village to rest.

Situ Zhige was special, so "Changsheng" assigned him a brick house with a complete structure.

Several servants quickly cleaned up the room and started cooking. Qu Xiaoxiao put a set of pots and pans, rice, flour, oil and salt in the carriage.

With the instructions of "Always Victorious" and the pressure from the Four Tigers and the Five Tigers, the officials turned a blind eye to this and no one dared to make any moves.

The "Five Tigers" went out for a walk and brought back two fat wild rabbits. They threw one to the officers and washed and skinned the other one by Madam Cha and her men.

Several servants were very skillful.

I have to say that Aunt Cha’s cooking skills are pretty good.

In less than half an hour, a large pot of delicious and fragrant rabbit meat and potatoes was ready.
