After being exiled with her husband and children, she returned with great power to rule the world

The next day, after breakfast, the team set out on their journey again.

On this day, the raging snowstorm finally stopped, the sky became bright, and the warm sun hung high in the sky, casting its warm rays. Bathed in this beautiful morning light, the convicts felt as if they were alive again.

"Mom, I want to walk by myself." Murong Chen didn't want Murong Ling'er to carry him anymore and insisted on walking for a while by himself.

After hearing this, Murong Ling'er let him do it and followed slowly behind him. While others were not paying attention, Murong Ling'er secretly stuffed a few cakes into Chu Lingfeng's hands.

Chu Lingfeng looked at the pastry in his hand, and couldn't help but feel grateful to Murong Ling'er. His original half-believing and half-doubting attitude completely disappeared.

When they heard early in the morning that Hong Liu was transferred to another team, everyone couldn't help but feel happy. After all, Hong Liu had been making things difficult for them on the way to exile.

Now that there were no people causing trouble, the convicts lived in peace for the whole morning. However, the officers, for some reason, felt a shadow of worry in their hearts. When they stopped to rest, several of them were still whispering to each other.

Chifeng listened silently to everyone's discussion, but had no idea what they were talking about.

One person sighed and said, "This is really strange."

Another person echoed: "Who says it's not? I always feel uneasy."

"Is it because everyone is too tired and nervous after the journey?" someone speculated.

Chu Lingfeng was thinking about something. He didn't understand why these officers were so uneasy, while the convicts took advantage of the rest time to sit or lie down, seizing the time to recover their strength.

The rest time is always short, and the team will soon have to move on again.

Chu Lingfeng looked at the road ahead, secretly thinking about how to spend the next few days.

Huo Shuixian has been paying attention to Murong Ling'er's every move.

"Mom, that bad woman is secretly watching us again."

Murong Chen noticed Huo Shuixian's gaze and immediately leaned close to Murong Ling'er's ear and spoke with a wary look on his face.

"Don't mind her, she's just a fool!"

Murong Ling'er hugged Murong Chen and kissed him on the cheek, then spoke with a smile, choosing to ignore Huo Shuixian's gaze that was full of inquiry and hatred.

"Mom, I'm so embarrassed!" Murong Chen covered his face shyly and buried himself in Murong Ling'er's arms, his little ears and cheeks blushing with shame.

Murong Ling'er smiled dotingly. This little guy is so cute!

In the distance, Huo Shuixian's intense gaze seemed to burn through Murong Ling'er's back. Seeing Murong Ling'er's leisurely and contented look, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

She thought angrily in her heart: "Murong Ling'er, why are you still alive?"

Huo Jianjie had been secretly keeping an eye on his eldest daughter, Murong Ling'er. Suddenly, he noticed the resentful look his youngest daughter gave his eldest daughter. He turned to Huo Shuixian and warned her, "Shuixian, stop picking on her!"

Huo Shuixian was instantly furious at what Huo Jianjie said. She turned her head sharply to look at Huo Jianjie, her face filled with anger as she shouted, "Dad, why? Why should I give in to her? I've been growing up by your side, why are you so partial?"

Huo Shuixian's voice sounded particularly sharp in the snow and ice, attracting the attention of people around her.

Huo Jianjie frowned and said in a low voice, "Don't mess around here! When has your sister ever provoked you? It's you who's always targeting her."

"I'm targeting her? Dad, you don't understand at all!" Tears flashed in Huo Shuixian's eyes.

When Murong Ling'er heard the noise here, she raised her head slightly, her face still with that indifferent expression, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

But she knew in her heart that Huo Shuixian's hostility towards her had been long-standing, but she didn't want to care about it or pay attention to it.

Seeing Murong Ling'er's nonchalant look, Huo Shuixian's anger intensified. She rushed forward a few steps, pointed at Murong Ling'er and said, "Murong Ling'er, don't pretend to be innocent. Today I'm going to make things clear to you!"

"Get out of here, or don't blame me for being merciless with my sword!" Murong Ling'er looked at Huo Shuixian with a cold expression.

Huo Shuixian was frightened by these cold words and subconsciously hid behind Huo Jianjie.

Huo Jianjie became nervous when he saw his eldest daughter was really angry. He knew how powerful his eldest daughter was, so he hurriedly said to Murong Ling'er, "Ling'er, Narcissus is ignorant. Don't bother with her. I'm going to take her away right now!"

After saying that, Huo Jianjie didn't dare to delay for even a second. He held Huo Shuixian's hand tightly and quickly turned around and left.

Huo Shuixian was unwilling to give in and wanted to turn back to argue, but Huo Jianjie pulled her back forcefully.

"Stop causing trouble and leave!" Huo Jianjie scolded in a low voice.

Just like that, Huo Jianjie hurriedly pulled the reluctant Huo Shuixian away, fearing that his eldest daughter would change her mind and catch up with them.

Chu Yinyin's face was full of disgust. She kept muttering and occasionally glanced at Murong Ling'er who was not far away.

Then he turned around and continued to say to Chu Lingfeng, "Brother, if you want to marry that woman, I will definitely not agree. She is a widow with a child whose husband has died. She is so vicious that she can't even tolerate her own sister. If she marries into our Chu family, how can we hold our heads up in front of others in the future!"

"Chu Yinyin, shut up!"

Wang was so angry that her whole body was shaking, her eyes were wide open, and her outstretched fingers were trembling slightly. The anger in her heart seemed to burn Chu Yinyin to ashes.

"Mom..." Chu Yinyin wanted to defend herself a few more times.

"Snapped!"

A crisp slapping sound was heard. Wang slapped Chu Yinyin without hesitation, and the force was so great that her face instantly became red and swollen.

"Mom!" Chu Chu was frightened by the sudden slap and couldn't help but scream.

Wang's face was filled with disappointment at this moment, and her eyes were filled with tears. She could no longer hold back the tears and they burst out.

She pointed her finger at Chu Yinyin with a trembling hand, her voice hoarse from extreme anger and grief: "Chu Yinyin, you ungrateful thing! Open your eyes and take a good look. Our Chu Palace has collapsed, and we are now exiles!"

"Do you know what exiles mean? It means we could die in this wilderness at any moment, with no one to collect our bodies! And yet you're still here nitpicking, complaining about this and that. Do you think we have the right to be so particular?"

Wang gasped for breath and continued to roar, "When our Chu Palace was prosperous, you were so willful and reckless! But now, you have lost your home, and you are still so ignorant!"

"Can't you be more sensible and think about this family and your elder brother? I'd be content if your elder brother could really find a woman who's willing to follow him. Why are you still being so picky? How can you be so confused and ignorant?"

When Wang said this, her body shook, as if all the strength in her body had been drained, and despair and helplessness filled her face.
