You confiscated my property, I exiled you, why are you crying when the treasury is empty?

Thinking that it might be faster if Mo Ran went, he took out a few banknotes and handed them to him along with the paper.

Su Wanning and the others also left. After leaving the door, Su Wanning looked at Li Jingyu and asked, "Why are you here?"

Li Jingyu glanced at Su Wanning and said, "This village is where I grew up."

Seeing the surprise in Su Wanning's eyes, he guessed what she would say, "Are you trying to say that I'm a prince and should have lived in the capital since I was a child? How could I have lived in Lingnan, far away from the capital?"

Su Wanning nodded. This was indeed what she wanted to ask.

The two stopped at a stone pier. Li Jingyu looked at the ocean in the distance and recalled the past.

"My mother was once just a maid in the deep palace. When she was supposed to leave the palace, the drunk emperor forced himself on her.

She was originally going to leave the palace that year to marry her beloved lover, but it was my arrival that made my mother give up her own happiness and stay in the palace.

The royal family struggle involved many lives, and my mother begged the Queen to send me out of the palace. I was only seven years old at the time, but I still couldn't escape. "

Li Jingyu looked at the scar on his palm and continued,

"The year I left the palace, there was a fierce struggle within the royal family. There was a fire in the palace, and I heard that several young princes lost their lives. My mother also died in the fire.

Later, my wet nurse took me away from the capital and came to Lingnan, thousands of miles away. It was not until I was about to reach the age of 15 that the emperor remembered my existence and wanted to take me back to the palace.

But my reputation was notorious outside, so after returning, they gave me a mansion and some assets, and never cared about me again."

"Xiao Yu, it's time to eat." Li Cuizhi shouted in the yard.

"Coming!" Li Jingyu replied and looked at Su Wanning, "Let's go and eat together."

"Okay, I'm hungry too." Thinking of Mo Lan who had been standing behind her, she asked, "Is there much food cooked?"

Li Jingyu glanced at the person behind Su Wanning and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Mo Lan refused directly, "Princess, just go and eat. I brought some food."

Su Wanning looked at Mo Lan. How could she not know what he was thinking? She walked to the carriage, got on it, and took out a meal that she had packed earlier from the space.

After getting off the carriage, he said to Mo Lan, "You can eat in the carriage. We may need to eat for a long time."

Mo Lan seemed to have guessed something in his heart, "Okay."

Su Wanning followed Li Jingyu into the yard. There was a table in the yard, and it was already filled with food.

Li Cuizhi came out of the kitchen carrying a dish. "Miss Su, it's bright outside, so let's move the table out and eat in the yard."

"Okay." Su Wanning nodded. She was just a freeloader, and she felt it was nice to eat in the yard.

Lu Qingan brought out a pot of steamed rice and placed it on a small table nearby. Li Jingyu picked up the bowl in front of him and walked over. "Just help yourself to as much rice as you want."

Su Wanning took the small wooden shovel handed to her by Li Jingyu and filled it with half a bowl of rice.

As soon as they sat down, Li Jingyu used chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat for Su Wanning, "This is super delicious, try it."

Li Cuizhi also picked up a piece of meat and put it into Su Wanning's bowl, "Try this too."

Su Wanning immediately picked up the bowl and said, "I can just pick it up myself."

Li Jingyu looked at Su Wanning holding up the bowl and laughed, "Don't worry, no one will help you pick up the food after you start eating."

Su Wanning breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. That's fine. She didn't want the bowl to be piled high before she even started eating.

Li Cuizhi picked up another piece of meat and put it in Li Jingyu's bowl, "Xiaoyu, eat it."

Li Jingyu also replied, "Godmother, you should eat quickly too."

Su Wanning looked at the two of them. "Godmother?" Seeing how familiar they were with each other, she wondered if the one who was burned to death in the palace was Li Jingyu's biological mother or if she was replaced by someone else.

But these have nothing to do with her, and there is no need for her to dig into the details.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

A few people were eating when a woman walked in from outside.

Su Wanning looked behind her and saw another familiar face.

"Little boy, why are you back?" Li Cuizhi stood up when she saw Lu Jingtong coming back.

"A lady bought a lot of clothes from our store, so the owner let us take a day off. We have to rush back to work in the store in the next few days." Lu Jingtong saw Li Jingyu there and called out, "Brother, when did you come back?"

Li Jingyu didn't answer Lu Jingtong, but looked at Su Wanning, "The lady that Xiaotong was talking about is not you, right?"

Su Wanning raised her eyebrows, "How did you guess that?"

Lu Jingtong also noticed Su Wanning standing nearby. "You...are you...the lady who bought the clothes?"

Su Wanning nodded and raised the bowl in her hand, "I'll come and have a free meal."

Lu Jingtong took the bowl and chopsticks handed to him by Li Cuizhi and sat down next to Su Wanning. "Why did you come alone? Did you divorce your husband?"

"Little boy! How can you talk like that?" Li Cuizhi glared at Lu Jingtong.

Lu Jingtong ignored Li Cuizhi. Seeing that Su Wanning didn't look angry, he whispered again, "Actually, your husband is not a good person."

"Lu Jingtong, can you please eat properly?" Li Jingyu glared at Lu Jingtong.

Lu Jingtong immediately lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of rice, all the while looking at Su Wanning.

Su Wanning looked directly at her and said, "If you have anything to say, you can tell me directly."

Lu Jingtong shook his head. "I'm afraid you'll be angry."

"No, just say it."

Lu Jingtong looked at Su Wanning, swallowed the food in his mouth, and moved closer to Su Wanning.

"Before I came back, I saw your husband taking another woman to a clothing store and spending a lot of money on it. If you ask me, it's better not to be with such an unfaithful person."

Su Wanning paused while eating. Li Jingyu beside her coughed lightly, "Maybe it's someone from their family."

Lu Jingtong put the bowl and chopsticks on the table, walked to Li Jingyu with a twist of his foot, and took his arm. "Jingyu~ I want to eat that dish, can you feed me?"

Li Jingyu pushed Lu Jingtong away with a look of disgust on his face, "If you act up again, get out of here."

Lu Jingtong spread his hands and said, "Look, your reaction to me is the reaction that a family should have."

Su Wanning raised her eyebrows and caught the information about the family that Lu Jingtong mentioned. What she guessed was most likely true.

Li Jingyu looked at Su Wanning and found that Su Wanning didn't seem to care. "In fact, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines."

Su Wanning didn't say anything and continued eating the food in the bowl.

No one said another word for the rest of the time.

Su Wanning's stomach was bulging from eating so much, and Li Jingyu offered to walk with her.

"Let me take you for a walk by the ocean."

Su Wanning nodded, as she also wanted to take a walk.
