Frosting was afraid the young lady wouldn't believe him, so she patted her slightly bulging belly. Four steamed buns, two steamed buns, and a belly full of water—it would be strange if an ordinary person didn't die of bloating.

Jing Chunxi: "Don't worry, eat it. There's more left. We're counting on you to do the heavy work!"

The old lady also smiled at Tang Shuang and gestured for her to eat: "Eat it! This child, I don't know where Sister Xi got it from, but she is so honest."

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Frost didn't feel embarrassed and obediently put the candy in her mouth and held it. It was much more delicious than a white flour bun, and only the young lady would give it to her.

Jing Mingyue didn't refuse the candy. She hadn't eaten the piece she had just received yet. She took a bite and it was so sweet that a smile appeared on her face.

But she didn't continue to eat the remaining bite. Instead, she stuffed it into Xiao Mingzhu's mouth and deliberately taught her in the tone of an elder: "Save it. Don't eat it all at once. Cousin Xi doesn't have that much for you."

The little glutinous rice dumpling nodded happily, wrapped itself in a small handkerchief, and hid in a corner of the cart. Like a little hamster stealing food, it kept smiling at its elder sister.

She was the happiest person on the trip. It was her first time riding a cart. Previously, she was confined to the small courtyard by her aunt and rarely allowed to go out. Now, facing the whole family, it was really fun. Everyone kept the good things close to her. Even her grandmother and grandfather looked at her with kindness and occasionally praised her. Before, she didn't dare to approach her elder sister, and her elder sister rarely spoke to her. But now her elder sister smiled at her and gave her candy.

So happy!

Half an hour was not long at all, and the officials urged us to set off again.

"Sister Xi, come sit next to Grandpa."

Before departure, everyone invited Sister Xi to sit on the cart. Chu Chunxi was not polite. Seeing that the little one was sitting near the middle of the cart, she sat in the front near the shaft, on the same side as the little glutinous rice dumpling. This way it was more balanced and less difficult to pull, which was convenient for her to talk to her grandfather or to tease the glutinous rice dumpling.

But Grandpa Xiaobei insisted on not sitting at the back of the car. He still said that he was not tired from walking on the first day and they could come back when they were tired. He insisted on walking in a position where the old general could see him and it would be convenient for him to take care of him. He was very stubborn.

Fortunately, Guard Cao had been asked to buy a bigger cart. In addition to the three of them, there was still some space left on the cart for the oilcloth and several large packages, but the things were stacked a little high at the back of the cart.

This time it was Dalang's turn to pull the cart, while Erlang and Sanlang pushed it from behind. Tangshuang felt uncomfortable as she had nothing to do and walked with her hands and feet timidly.

She simply squatted in front of the old lady and said, "Grandma, let me carry you on my back."

The action made the old lady laugh: "No, no, you should save your energy first. There is still a long way to go. I will let you carry me when I really can't walk anymore." Frost's height was almost the same as the old lady, but Frost's body was half a size bigger, so she could still be carried.

The others laughed along, thinking that this girl was really nice. Jing Mingyue didn't care at all that she was a servant and simply pulled her along to walk forward.

Jing Chunxi was worried that she would feel embarrassed, so he said to her, "You have to take a break. You're not an iron man. Just walk together! If grandma gets tired, I'll take turns with her. We still have a long way to go."

After her master said this, Tang Shuang felt a little more at ease, but she was still not used to being held by Jing Mingyue. As they walked, it wasn't long before Jing Mingyue was being supported by her.

Jing Chunxi felt that Grandpa Xiaobei was a really good person. He was afraid that as long as he could insist, he would definitely not get in the car. After all, with his status, he would definitely feel that riding in a car was more uncomfortable than walking. It would be better to go into the space tonight to get him some good medicine.

Everyone was very kind, giving her gentle smiles and calling her by her new name. The old lady even called her "little girl," which made Tang Shuang's heart warm. The difference between the masters of the General's Mansion and the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion was really huge. The people in the Marquis' Mansion didn't even treat her as a human being.

Because the Marquis's master usually looked down on her, the servants were also aggressive and would often make sarcastic remarks about her. The housekeeper even beat and scolded her. At that time, she felt so hopeless. Compared to the conditions in the Marquis's mansion, she still preferred being with this group of people. Here, everyone loved each other, was humble and yielding to each other, and they were happy. Even if someone came to their house and pointed at her nose and scolded her, everyone was united in their hatred and faced the enemy together.

The most important thing is that the master will even take away her servant's work. Although it's not right, it's really sincere. This is where she feels at home. It turns out that she was right to follow the lady. The lady said that following her would be hardship, but Tang Shuang didn't feel any hardship at all. Instead, she felt a kind of "happiness" that the lady said was sweet as frosting.

"Sister Xi, how did your mother get divorced? Tell your grandfather about it." Chu Chunxi was talking and laughing along the way, as if the exile and her mother's divorce had little impact on her. After walking for a long time, Jing Yongcheng finally asked.

This topic could not be avoided. Jing Chunxi felt ashamed. He couldn't say that his mother decided to divorce because of what he said.

The old general's words successfully attracted everyone to come over. Even the two people walking in the front slowed down their pace. Jing Mingyue's ears pricked up.

Everyone helped push the cart, holding onto the side panels. The concubines standing a little further away pricked up their ears. If the road hadn't been smooth and the cart hadn't been jolting, with so many people pushing, others would have thought the cart was carrying something weighing over a thousand pounds.

Jing Chunxi was still organizing his words when Tang Shuang said something indignantly beside him: "The people in the Marquis' Mansion are nothing!"

Everyone: ...She is definitely not a good person, otherwise her sister-in-law (daughter, sister, aunt) would not divorce her.

A quarter of an hour later, Jing Chunxi finally recounted everything his scumbag father and the old hag did and said after entering Chaoxia Courtyard.

However, my mother did not tell anyone that she had asked to be kicked out of the house. Anyway, Tangshuang was not in the inner room at that time, and no one would gossip about it to her, so there was no need to worry that she would let the secret slip.

However, she said that due to time constraints, some large items of dowry could not be taken out of the house.

No one spoke for a long time. Zhuang even walked over to her and gently stroked Jing Chunxi's shoulder. Only the old aunt muttered softly, "I didn't realize this family was so cruel that they didn't even want their own grandson."
