"Mom! Chen'er misses you so much!"
Seeing his mother return, Murong Chen was overjoyed and couldn't wait to run into Murong Ling'er's warm arms.
He had wanted to go find his mother for a long time, but seeing that she was dealing with something there, he couldn't bear to disturb her.
Murong Ling'er gently stroked Murong Chen's head, with a smile on her face, and said, "Mother misses you too! It's just that mother went out to do something, so she came back so late."
"Uncle Chu told me the same thing, hehe." Murong Chen smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits.
Hearing this, Murong Ling'er raised her head, turned her gaze to Chu Lingfeng, and said sincerely: "Thank you for helping me take care of my son."
As she spoke, Murong Ling'er pointed to the horse beside her and said, "I bought this horse with the money you gave me. You can ride it from now on!"
Chu Lingfeng was very surprised when he heard this.
She actually bought a horse with the money he gave her, and even specifically said it was for him to ride? For a moment, an indescribable complex feeling surged in his heart.
Wang and Chuchu, who were standing by, felt very embarrassed when they heard this.
However, Chu Yinyin was not happy. She frowned and complained, "Brother, why did you give her the money? We have no money now. How are we going to live in the future?"
"Yinyin, this is not something you should worry about. Shut up and go away."
Wang reprimanded sternly with a sullen face.
At this moment, she completely wanted to give up on this ungrateful and sensible daughter.
Chu Lingfeng also looked at Chu Yinyin with a serious face and angrily said, "Chu Yinyin, if you continue to be so rude and talk nonsense, don't follow us anymore!"
Chu Yinyin was filled with grievances but had no place to vent them. She glared at Murong Ling'er fiercely, quickened her pace and walked forward angrily.
Wang quickly apologized to Murong Ling'er, "Miss Murong, thank you for taking care of us along the way. I've spoiled Yinyin. If she's offended me in any way, please don't take it to heart."
Chu Lingfeng also looked at Murong Ling'er and said sincerely, "Miss Murong, thank you for not making a fuss with Yinyin. I've been grateful for your care along the way. If you need any help in the future, I will do my best."
"Yeah!" Murong Ling'er nodded calmly. As long as someone didn't ask her to return the jade pendant, that would be fine! She didn't care about anything else.
During this journey of exile, Wang was tormented.
Wang felt very guilty because her youngest daughter bullied Murong Ling'er again and again.
She remembered that once during their journey, they had finally found a water source and were about to draw water to drink, but her youngest daughter deliberately knocked over Murong Linger's water pitcher and said sarcastically, "She deserves to drink water?"
Fortunately, I saw it and stopped her from doing anything more extreme, otherwise she would have been taught a lesson by Miss Murong!
But after all, that was her own flesh and blood. Even though she was filled with anger, she couldn't bear to punish him severely. She could only suppress her anger, silently find a water jar for Murong Ling'er, fill it with water and hand it to her.
Another time, when everyone was distributing dry food, the youngest daughter took advantage of Miss Murong's inattention and snatched her share, saying provocatively, "I won't give it to you, what else can I do?"
When Wang heard this, she was so angry that her lips trembled, and she raised her hand but ultimately could not put it down.
Wang had no choice but to follow her youngest daughter, trying to find ways to clean up the mess she had caused.
Every time her youngest daughter targeted Murong Ling'er, Wang's heart was filled with helplessness and disappointment. She didn't understand why her youngest daughter, whom she had always loved, had become so arrogant and willful.
In the face of all this, Murong Ling'er just shook her head slightly and didn't say a word.
Her indifferent expression seemed as if she had long been accustomed to such situations.
……
It was just getting dark, and the hazy twilight was like a huge gray veil, gently covering the earth.
In this vast world, everyone has walked a long and arduous road.
Along the way, they encountered countless difficulties and challenges.
Today's whole day experience can be described as thrilling.
The road was extremely bumpy, with steep slopes, muddy paths, and fast-flowing streams, all of which made it difficult for them to move forward.
The various dangers they faced came one after another, the raging winds and the appearance of wild beasts made them nervous to the extreme every time.
Even Captain Chiffon, who has always been strong and resolute and never gives up easily, feels weak at this moment, as if all the strength in his body has been ruthlessly drained. His steps are heavy and his eyes reveal deep fatigue.
However, just when everyone was about to fall into despair, a small village appeared in their sight.
Seeing the well-arranged houses and the curling smoke in front of them, the fire of hope was rekindled in everyone's hearts. The faint but warm flame seemed to be calling them, making them firmly believe that as long as they persevere, they will surely usher in the dawn of victory.
Chiffon, who usually passed by the village without stopping, this time stopped directly outside the village with the fugitives and prepared to spend the night there.
As soon as the long line stopped, the convicts fell apart like a pile of loose sand. They were so tired that they sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.
For a time, there were complaints everywhere.
"What kind of a day is this? It's not a life for human beings!"
A thin man was breathing heavily, wiping the sweat from his forehead and complaining.
"To think that a dignified official like me would end up like this, where is justice?"
A once majestic official no longer cared about his image, his face full of anger and unwillingness.
"Ouch, my waist! This journey is really killing me!"
A lady in her fifties leaned against a tree trunk and sighed.
These high-ranking officials, who used to travel in carriages and sedan chairs, as well as their pampered ladies, felt as if they had experienced a nightmare during this short two-day journey, and felt as if they were about to lose half their lives.
"How can my delicate body withstand such torture!" A young lady cried, looking at the soles of her feet that were worn out, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Hmph! It's all that dog emperor's fault. He exiled us without any reason!" someone shouted angrily.
"Don't talk nonsense, or you'll lose your head!" The person next to him quickly covered his mouth with a look of panic.
"I haven't been able to eat or sleep well on the way, and I don't know how long this journey will take. I might as well die!" Someone else shouted in despair.
When Chifeng heard these complaints, he shouted, "Shut up! Anyone who keeps talking nonsense will be whipped!"
Although the prisoners were filled with resentment, they could only keep silent for the time being, but their eyes were still filled with helplessness and pain.
They looked at the desolate countryside, their hearts filled with confusion and fear about the future.
