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

Because she had lost an eye, the bison charged wildly in pain, breaking its horns and shattering river stones. As it gradually lost its strength, she and Du Shan stabbed it a few more times, and that's how it died.

We get to eat beef!

Hahaha!

Sang Ning had already come up with a hundred ways to cook it, but unfortunately, due to limited ingredients, she had to put those ideas on hold.

Everyone stared at the bison's carcass and licked their lips in unison.

So many succulents.

Huo Chang'an was so shocked that he was speechless.

He had heard his second brother say that this kind of wild buffalo was even more ferocious than lions and tigers.

He once joined forces with three fierce generals to kill a beast to reward the entire army. At the time, his second brother spoke with great pride, which shows how difficult it was to subdue.

Although what's in front of us should be a calf, it's still incredible that it's been done by two half-baked yamen runners and a slender woman, isn't it?

If my second brother knew, wouldn't he be so angry he'd come back to life?

"How did you do that?" he asked Sang Ning, who was surrounded by children.

The voice wasn't loud, but it was something he couldn't help but say in shock.

But Sang Ning heard it.

He then habitually raised his eyebrows smugly.

"It's simple. Have you heard of bullfighting? When there's a huge disparity in strength between you and your opponent, you avoid their sharp edge and take a roundabout approach, making them turn their attention elsewhere."

I first stabbed its eyes to drive it mad, then lured it to crash into a rock. Finally, it became dizzy from the crash, and Du Shan and I took advantage of its weakness to kill it.

That's it. Pretty simple, right?

She smiled, as if she were really talking about something very simple.

But Huo Chang'an knew that it was not simple at all; extraordinary courage, strong will, and agile skills were all indispensable.

One could easily be struck and trampled to death by a cow.

Is she really the young lady from the Grand Commandant's mansion who is rumored to be stupid and ill-mannered?

The only unhappy person present was probably Yun Shuixian!

She watched as Sang Ning'er was surrounded by everyone like a hero, feeling both fear and hatred that felt like her heart was being torn apart.

On the other hand, Du Shan and Li Chang also had a disagreement.

Li Chang disagreed with dividing the cattle away.

He wasn't just making things up.

“Once prisoners are full, they are inevitably difficult to control, especially that Sang Ning’er. Don’t you think she’s terrifying?”

"There has never been a case of officials and prisoners getting along so well, Du Shan. Do you think being an official is too easy?"

Tian Kaiwu felt that the matter should be separated, but he was afraid that Li Chang would talk nonsense after returning to the capital, so he did not feel comfortable interjecting.

Du Shan concealed the disgust in his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Then take a smaller share. After all, they saved my life, and I don't want to be an ungrateful person!"

He cut off two cow forelegs, skinned them, chopped them up, and sent them to the Huo family.

Sang Ning understood when she saw the guilt on Du Shan's face.

"It's alright, it's enough for us. But don't forget to bring some stir-fried cattail shoots to try later, Officer Du."

"Haha, definitely."

Despite saying that, Du Shan had no intention of actually trying any cattail grass; he couldn't even finish all the beef he ate!

"What a heartless person!" Xie Yurou cursed as soon as he left.

This was clearly all thanks to his younger brother and sister-in-law, who even saved his life, yet they only gave him two beef legs. Aren't they afraid of stuffing themselves to death?

"It's alright, they can't eat much more. Wasting food would be a sin against the heavens," Sang Ning said calmly.

In this weather, meat doesn't keep well; it might spoil after just two meals.

Sang Ning has always believed that your kindness brings blessings, your ignorance brings misfortune, everything is predestined, and life is a long journey of decades, and everything will eventually come true.

Today's main dish is beef, so Sang Ning put the small crabs and loaches in her space to keep them for the next meal.

Everyone was full of energy as they gathered firewood and started a fire.

Sang Ning crushed the three white herbs and applied them to Huo Chang'an's legs.

"You even know about medicine?"

"I only know a little bit about these; they are all common herbs."

Huo Chang'an noticed that she had many abrasions on the back of her hands and wrists, indicating that the bullfight must have been very dangerous.

But she has been smiling ever since she came back, showing no signs of fatigue or complaint.

She was like a stream of fresh water, bringing life back to the stagnant Huo family.

“Sang Ning’er…”

"Ok?"

"nothing."

He didn't care how she knew so much, or how unlike a typical woman from a secluded family, or even the daughter of an enemy.

I don't care about anything.

There's only one thing: don't lie to him, don't lie to the Huo family.

Even if he is paralyzed forever, even if she leaves whenever she gets the chance.

Please also ask her to protect the Huo family during this most difficult period of their journey.

He was extremely grateful and vowed to repay her kindness in his next life.

He felt a cool sensation on his face and instinctively flinched.

"do not move!"

The low reprimand immediately silenced the boy.

A cool sensation came from the disfigured half of his face; it turned out they were applying medicine.

The scent of herbs mingled with the cool aroma of spring water, just like the scent emanating from her, blending together in the air as if transferring from her to him.

The boy's ears turned bright red as he stared silently at the woman's kneeling legs, barely daring to breathe, as if in agony.

Wasn't she thinking of getting a divorce? Why is she doing these intimate things with him again?

“Mother, I think Fourth Sister-in-law has feelings for Fourth Brother. She was probably just saying it in anger.” Li Yuzhi whispered.

Look how much she cares for her fourth brother; she's not afraid of his face, nor does she mind if he's dirty.

Xie Yurou also exclaimed in a daze, "Yes, they're so loving!"

Just like she and Sanlang used to be.

It's a pity that my fourth brother... if he were as handsome and healthy as before, what a perfect couple we would be.

The old lady was both gratified and moved.

She had been observing the whole way.

Sang Ning'er was indeed very concerned about the fourth prince.

She took over all of her original work.

Every now and then, he would quietly ask the fourth brother if he needed to use the restroom.

For this alone, the old lady was extremely grateful to her.

"Oh, little brother's ears are red!"

Sang Ning inadvertently indulged in her past life's carefree nature and blurted out something unintentionally.

Huo Chang'an was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened: "Who's the younger brother?"

"Uh, slip of the tongue, it's my brother."

brother.

Because of their relationship, her calling him "brother" was different from how Xiaoya and the others called him, giving it a hint of flirtatious banter between husband and wife.

The reddish earlobes turned even redder.

Perhaps she really did love him, but only because of his disabled body...

The boy stared intently at the leg he was gripping, which felt nothing.

Sang Ning thought to herself: It might really be my brother.

She remembered that when she was in prison, Sang Xiuqi came to see her, his daughter, alone.

At that time, the original owner thought he had come to rescue her. When they met, she questioned him about why he treated her husband's family this way, causing her to be hated by everyone.

Unexpectedly, Sang Xiuqi burst into laughter and revealed a secret he had kept hidden for many years.

He said that Sang Ning'er was a bastard.

She was the bastard child of her mother and Huo Zhennan.

Sang Ning didn't really believe it.

The Huo family has a righteous family tradition, and the old Marquis is a renowned hero. He shouldn't do such a shameful thing, but Sang Xiuqi is convinced that he has been cuckolded.

Therefore, he used Sang Ning'er as a pawn, marrying her off to Huo Chang'an, committing incest between siblings, which can only be described as extremely cruel.

Huo Zhennan is now dead, so there is no way to verify this.

Sang Ning had no intention of becoming a real couple with Huo Chang'an anyway, so she could investigate this matter later when the opportunity arose.

Or it might rot inside your stomach.

There's no need to explain it to others.
