Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

This piece of paper was taken by Sang Ning from a box in the restaurant on the second floor. It was a set of writing materials; she only used one sheet to write the recipes and put the rest away.

I discussed this method with Huo Chang'an last night.

She organized the wording, and Huo Chang'an wrote it down.

When the topic turned to stuffing feces into his mouth, she heard Huo Chang'an swallow several times before finally putting down his pen.

In any case, the plan was a success.

Judging from Du Shan's expression, he was already very wary of Li Chang. If he were to die, everyone would be happy.

Li Chang was rudely reprimanded and driven away by Du Shan. Before leaving, he gave Yun Shuixian a wicked smile that was both unwilling and determined.

Yun Shuixian was both angry and scared, and she clung to Huo Jingya's arm.

Sang Ning relaxed, and in a moment of smugness, winked at Huo Chang'an.

Huo Chang'an's face flushed, and he lowered his eyes.

She really does like me.

Because of Li Chang's setback, his tense body suddenly relaxed, and for the first time he felt a sense of joy as if he had won a battle.

"Fourth Madam, it is against the rules for you to push the Fourth Young Master in this carriage. However, since we are in a secluded place, I will pretend not to see it. But if we are in public, please be more discreet," Du Shan warned with a displeased expression.

The road to exile is fraught with hardship; one must walk on two legs in shackles. Being sentenced to exile means having no hope for the future. Of ten, five are on the road, and the remaining five are in the place of exile.

Throughout history, very few have managed to endure their sentences until they were served and return home.

Not to mention that the Huo family was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Du Shan treated them exceptionally well.

"I understand, I definitely won't cause any trouble for the adults."

Sang Ning and Li Yuzhi helped Huo Chang'an onto the cart that had been laid out with dry hay.

As soon as Du Shan left, the old lady scolded Yun Shuixian with a stern face.

“Aunt, I didn’t think that much about it. If someone has to take the blame, of course I can’t just stand by and watch you get beaten to death.”

"I have my reasons for stepping forward. If you don't understand the situation, then stay in the background and don't stand out! Got it?"

Yun Shuixian gritted her teeth and remained silent.

Just two days ago, everyone was indifferent to Sang Ning'er's life or death, but today they've started protecting her.

Just because she saved someone yesterday, have we forgotten her sins?

Do the Huo family members have any backbone at all?

"Did you hear me!" the old lady said sternly.

Seeing that Yun Shuixian still didn't speak, she angrily raised her hand to hit her again.

If they don't know their own limitations and cause trouble again, they won't always be so lucky.

Yun Shuixian raised her head, her eyes filled with resentment.

“Aunt, when I was fourteen, you told me that I would marry my fourth cousin in the future. I always looked forward to growing up, but on the day I came of age, what I received was the news of the emperor bestowing a marriage upon me.”

"The Emperor bestowed this marriage upon us, and I had no choice but to accept it. However, the Sang family harbored malicious intentions and caused our family to be destroyed."

"Sang Ning'er is our enemy! Even if my cousin can't divorce her, you can't treat her like family!"

The old lady shook her head.

Sang Ning'er was just a pitiful pawn. They might have initially taken their anger out on her, but ultimately, she wasn't their real enemy.

Yun Shuixian didn't give anyone a chance to speak, as if everyone else was delirious while she alone was awake.

Turning her head, she angrily lashed out at Xie Yurou and Huo Jintang, who was staring blankly at everything: "But what are you doing now? Calling her sister-in-law and aunt, you've forgotten who she is just because of one or two acts of kindness!"

And you, Huo Jingya, didn't you always wish her would die quickly so I could become your sister-in-law? Why are you speaking up for her at every turn now?!

"I..." Huo Jingya glanced at Sang Ning in a panic, unsure of how to explain.

"She has severed ties with the Sang family!"

"Sever ties? That's her own father! You think severing ties is all it takes? A daughter has to pay for her father's sins! She should be treated like a slave to pay for what her father did!" Yun Shuixian glared at Sang Ning with hatred.

Sang Ning raised an eyebrow, about to speak, when Huo Chang'an spoke coldly.

"Whether it was an imperial decree or what her father did, once she's married, she's married. Once she enters the Huo family, she's a member of the Huo family. Yun Shuixian, you betrayed your family today, making yourself a laughingstock to outsiders. You've made a huge mistake! Your mother was right to hit you!"

“Brother Chang’an…” Yun Shuixian couldn’t believe it.

"Also, don't say anything about marrying me. Even without Sang Ning'er, I never intended to marry you. I only see you as a younger sister, just like Xiao Ya."

"No, I don't believe it!" Yun Shuixian screamed.

Sang Ning frowned. This Yun Shuixian was really crazy. What time was it? Why was she still chattering away? Did she want to wait for the yamen runners to come and get whipped again?

She cleared her throat and said impatiently, "Let me reiterate. First, I have no relation to the Sang family. I will not take on Sang Xiuqi's debts, and if we meet again, I will treat him as an enemy. What I am doing now is entirely out of respect for the Huo family, not to repay debts."

Secondly, my marriage to Huo Chang'an is merely nominal. I know you're all bothered by my status, but rest assured, when the opportunity arises to divorce, we'll go our separate ways. Anyone who wants to marry him can do so on their own; don't try to take advantage of me.”

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Huo Chang'an suddenly looked at Sang Ning, then slowly lowered his eyes.

Clutching his numb, useless leg, he remained silent.

"I knew you disliked Brother Chang'an!"

Yun Shuixian pushed Sang Ning aside, saying, "Get out of the way, I don't need you to push me!"

Sang Ning'er is truly heartless and ungrateful. She seduced and framed her cousin before, and now that her cousin is disabled, she actually wants a divorce.

Now your cousin knows her true colors, right?

Sang Ningle's leisurely life.

It wasn't that she was being lazy; someone was eager to push her.

"Do you know how to push?" Li Yuzhi had a bad feeling and hurriedly stepped forward.

But it's still a step too late.

Who do you think you are? Do you think only Sang Ning'er is capable?

Yun Shuixian mustered all her strength and raised her hand, causing the balance of gravity to be lost and the wheelbarrow to tip over.

Huo Chang'an rolled onto the ground, his body covered in grass. He barely managed to support his upper body with his arms, avoiding getting a mouthful of mud.

From not far away came Li Chang's loud laughter.

Sang Ning was stunned.

Hurry up and go help.

Huo Chang'an looked at her expressionlessly, his lips tightly pressed together, his slender phoenix eyes indifferent and distant.

Then he brushed her hand away and mechanically uttered four words:

"I dare not trouble you."
