Fu Zhiming was left next to the car and no one cared about him.

He has long been used to it.

Curling up my body and leaning against the wheelbarrow as much as possible, I could slightly block the cold night wind.

The night gradually deepened and everyone around fell into a deep sleep.

All I could hear was the occasional snoring and the crackling of burning firewood.

Fu Zhiming looked at the group of people closest to him who had fallen asleep.

He moved his hands and feet slightly and stood up slowly and with difficulty.

I don’t know if the secret medicine of the Marquis’ Mansion has expired, or if this is just the effect of the medicine.

On the way to exile outside the capital, Fu Zhiming slowly felt that his hands and feet were regaining strength, but the problem of his throat being unable to speak did not improve at all.

He didn't dare tell anyone, including Liu Sisi.

Along the way, he noticed the changes in Liu Sisi's attitude towards him.

After removing the filter of love, looking at Liu Sisi again, her little thoughts, her hypocrisy, and her duplicity are fully revealed under difficult conditions.

Even the most lovable appearance, after losing protection and being eroded by endless wind and sand, will become as haggard and unattractive as yesterday's yellow flowers.

During the journey, he lay in the car, reviewing and recalling over and over again how he went from being the third young master of the Ningping Marquis's Mansion to a prisoner on the road to exile?

Back then in the Marquis' Mansion, except for the eldest son Fu Zhijian, he was not as famous as the second and fourth sons because they were legitimate children.

But he is the son of the prince of Ningping Marquis's Mansion. Although he is a concubine's son, the prince loves him.

To put it bluntly, after the old marquis passes away, the prince will inherit the title and he can continue to be the master in the marquis's mansion.

But the second and fourth sons might just be biased, and they won’t be as good as him in the end.

But now, the second son has been sent away, and although the fourth son had fled to Nanyue because of the third prince and Princess Deqing, the third prince has now fallen, the fourth son's wife is a county lady, and his uncle is the Minister of Revenue, so it seems that his return to the capital is just around the corner.

The eldest brother even inherited the title of Ningping Marquis, but he alone ended up with his family broken up and his wife and children separated.

He always felt that his life should not end like this.

After thinking about it over and over again, he finally figured it out.

Even though he initially wanted to replace the boss Fu Zhijian, he also secretly wanted to do something.

But all of this was done in secret. Without complete certainty, he would not turn against the Marquis's Mansion and expose himself.

But why did I have a quarrel with the Marquis's Mansion so early?

It was because of Liu Sisi! He unexpectedly met Liu Sisi outside the mansion. After rescuing her, he was deceived by her so-called words in the dream and instigated by Liu Sisi, exposing himself early.

It was Liu Sisi who said that the third prince should be named the crown prince. It was Liu Sisi who said that the third prince was facing a great disaster. Anyone who could help the third prince overcome this disaster would be his savior.

When the third prince ascends the throne, not only will he be granted the title of marquis, he might even be granted the title of duke.

Why was he so bewildered that he actually believed what Liu Sisi said?

Why didn’t you think of leaving yourself a way out?

The more Fu Zhiming thought about it, the more regretful he felt, and he pounded the ground in anger.

If he hadn't believed Liu Sisi's words, he might still be the third master of the Marquis' Mansion. Although he still has to rely on the eldest brother Fu Zhijian for his livelihood, it is better than exile, right?

He could have lived a life of wealth and prosperity, with no worries about food and clothing, but he ended up like this, all because of Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi, this bitch! He had misjudged her.

I should have seen it clearly earlier. How could a slut who was only in her teens and seduced the husband of her cousin who had done her a favor be a good person?

In other words, he was so confused and blind that he was actually infatuated with her and treated such a little bitch as his treasure, pampering, loving and caring for her.

Looking back now, Zhao was a bit stupid and had a bad complexion.

She can give birth to children for him and manage the harem. Although she is not completely satisfied, she is better than that bitch Liu Sisi.

The more I thought about it, the more miserable I felt, all because of Liu Sisi.

In the dark night, the look in Liu Sisi's direction was sinister and weird.

Fu Zhiming struggled to take out a sharp stone from his arms, carefully, and held it with his hands that had barely regained some strength. He groped for a stone on the ground and grinded it carefully.

The night passed quickly.

At daybreak, an official went ahead to explore the road and found a small river not far ahead.

After coming back, he told everyone to get up, wash up, fetch water, and make breakfast.

On the exile journey north, the further north you go, the fewer streams, rivers or ponds there are, making it inconvenient to use water.

It was rare to see a river these days, so the officials gave everyone enough time to wash up and get enough water for the next leg of the journey.

Hearing that there was water nearby, everyone went to the river to fetch water.

Aunt Huang discussed with another concubine, and she took Jie Ge'er to the river to fetch water and asked the other concubine to start the fire.

Liu Sisi originally planned to go to the river by herself, but Fu Zhiming looked at her earnestly.

He made an "ah ah" sound from his mouth.

Liu Sisi was a little reluctant: "You want to go too?"

Fu Zhiming nodded.

Liu Sisi was about to refuse, but then she changed her mind and agreed.

After exerting a lot of strength, he lifted Fu Zhiming into the car and pushed him towards the river.

Before I reached the river, I heard someone screaming and a woman crying heartbreakingly.

"Oh no, someone fell into the water—"

"Is there anyone who can swim? Save that child—"

……

Liu Sisi felt that the woman's crying sounded familiar.

"Jie'er, my Jie'er - please, who can help me save Jie'er -" It was the voice of Aunt Huang.

Liu Sisi's mind moved and she looked at Fu Zhiming.

Fu Zhiming was lying down, so his expression could not be seen.

Liu Sisi stamped her feet: "Third Master, I heard what sounded like Aunt Huang crying. Could it be that Brother Jie fell into the water? I'll go check—"

After saying that, he left the car and ran towards the river.

The riverside was crowded with people, all talking.

Liu Sisi squeezed in while listening.

I heard the whole thing before I even reached the scene.

It turned out that Aunt Huang took Jie Ge'er to fetch water. Jie Ge'er was stupid and dazed all the way. He did whatever he was asked to do without crying or shouting.

Therefore, Aunt Huang was not worried at all. She just let him stay aside and went to the river to fill the water.

Unexpectedly, before the water bag was filled, I heard a splash and someone fell into the water.

When I turned around, Brother Jie was gone.

The people next to him were already exclaiming: "Your child fell into the water——"

Only then did Aunt Huang realize that it was Brother Jie who fell into the water.

My first reaction was to jump into the river, but luckily someone was quick enough to catch me.

Aunt Huang cried breathlessly: "My Jie brother, my Jie brother——"
