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

Li Yuzhi and Xie Yurou lowered their heads and chuckled.

Sang Ning was oblivious to the problem and continued gnawing away.

She ate all the meat, and even sucked the marrow from the bones into her mouth.

Although the Huo family had been starving for a long time and wished they could swallow even the bones, they couldn't gnaw on the meat as cleanly as Sang Ning.

The main problem is a lack of experience.

I used to be very well-mannered, and my servants always removed my bones; I never kissed anyone.

I didn't know that the synovial membrane covering the bone could be eaten, nor did I know that the bone marrow inside the bone could be extracted.

Now everyone is following Sang Ning's example, and they're sucking their bones until they're shiny.

Don't even mention it! It tastes so much better when you eat it yourself!

The midday sun was scorching and unbearable, making it unsuitable for traveling.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone leaned against the trees to rest.

This is the first time I haven't gone to bed hungry.

Prolonged mental and physical fatigue can cause one to relax suddenly and feel drowsy.

Huo Chang'an and Sang Ning leaned against each other and whispered to each other.

Huo Chang'an did most of the talking.

"Don't get too close to Du Shan. None of the guards escorting prisoners are good people. Don't believe they have any sense of righteousness. They're all just people who won't do anything without profit. Otherwise, how could they become the head guards..."

"And that Hu Si, we need to be even more wary of him. I've seen him exchanging glances with Li Chang more than once. I suspect he's also been bribed by the Second Prince..."

"The remaining Tian Kaiwu seems to be someone who goes with the flow, but who knows what he's thinking? He might just stab someone in the back."

Sang Ning found it funny.

I didn't even talk to her this morning, but now she's talking nonstop.

Chatterbox.

The boy's analysis was very logical and reasonable. He always kept his eyes closed during the day and didn't care about anything. I didn't expect him to have so many thoughts in his mind.

Very good, they've started paying attention to the situation and stopped wallowing in self-pity.

"Yes, I know, I understand."

Sang Ning wasn't stupid; how could she easily trust these cannibalistic yamen runners? Perhaps she felt ashamed for a moment because of what she said, but the two sides were originally on opposite sides. The little guy turned the tables and eventually raised his whip against the weak again.

The saying goes, "A true ruler values ​​virtue."

Claws and teeth, also known as punishment.

Only through enslavement and beatings can they feel at ease.

Sang Ning gently brushed the boy's temples, unintentionally leaving a ripple in the boy's heart.

"An ant crawled on it."

She closed her eyes and fell asleep with light breathing.

Only the boy under the shade of the tree remained, seemingly mesmerized.

She involuntarily raised her hand to block out the light dancing on her eyelids.

Yun Shuixian turned around and saw this glaring scene.

At that moment, Huo Chang'an was sitting upright, his flawless half-face facing her, as if he were still the same complete and unrestrained young man he used to be.

A deep-seated jealousy filled his chest, reaching its peak amidst hunger and humiliation.

Nobody cared whether she lived or died!

Including that aunt who said she would never let her suffer any injustice!

Yun Shuixian could no longer shed tears. She shakily got up and walked into the woods.

She refused to believe it; could she not survive without them?

If Sang Ning can find food, so can she!

The old lady squinted at her retreating figure and sighed deeply.

I didn't realize it before, since she was pampered and spoiled in the mansion. Now I see that Yun Shuixian's personality is just like her mother's—selfish and foolish.

She always felt that others owed her something.

They never look for the cause within themselves.

Back then, it was actually her who was related to the Yun family by marriage; she was the eldest daughter of the Yang family, and their marriage was arranged by their parents when they were children.

However, when Young Master Yun came to propose marriage, the younger sister took a liking to him.

She began to cry and beg her older sister.

She had always doted on her younger sister and indulged her in everything. Since she had no feelings for Young Master Yun anyway, she agreed.

However, their father disagreed, saying that marriage was not a game and scolded the sisters.

Later, one day, the father hosted a banquet for General Huwei, who had just returned from a victorious battle.

For some reason, a tall and strong young man entered her room while she was taking a nap.

The man was terrified when he saw her, and his face turned pale as he tried to back away.

Just then, the younger sister arrived with her girlfriends and caught the young man red-handed.

The shouting attracted the father from the front hall.

That young man was Huo Zhennan, who was just a junior officer at the time. He made such a big mistake on his first trip to the capital with General Huwei.

Although he was terrified and turned pale, he was brave enough to take responsibility and immediately offered to commit suicide as an apology.

When she saw the smug look in her sister's eyes, she suddenly understood everything.

She stopped Huo Zhennan and proposed to him.

There was no other way; a woman's reputation was more important than anything else. Although she resented her sister and was unwilling to accept it, she had no choice but to accept it.

This is the tragedy of being a woman.

Therefore, when Sang Ning'er and Lao Si were framed, even though she disliked this daughter-in-law, she did not make things too difficult for her.

They're all women who have no control over their own lives.

Fortunately, Huo Zhennan was a man of integrity who loved her dearly and promised to have her as his only wife for the rest of his life.

They were a loving couple, and she even went to the border town with her husband. Later, their children were born one after another, and her husband's status rose day by day, eventually leading to his own mansion in the capital.

He didn't want her to suffer in the border town, so he sent her back to the capital.

Just then, devastating news arrived: his younger sister had died.

All the discord vanished. She used the Huo family's immense power to punish the Yun family, who had favored their concubine over their wife, and forcefully took eight-year-old Yun Shuixian back to the mansion to raise her.

She ate and lived with Jingya, just like twin sisters.

Narcissus was weak-willed, and Jingya always protected her. It could be said that she never suffered any more grievances.

The old lady was also awakened by Sang Ning's words. In their current situation, they could easily fall into the wolf's den. She, an old woman, could not protect so many people.

Times have changed. The glamorous life in the capital is over. Now, she just wants all the women in her family to stand up for themselves.

Sloppy or shrewish is fine, but you can't act like a pampered young lady like before, waving your arms around.

Narcissus, it's time to learn your lesson.

The old lady turned away cruelly and hugged her two children to rest.

But she didn't see that Huo Jingya secretly went to find Yun Shuixian, hiding two pieces of meat in her arms that she couldn't bear to eat.

"Narcissus!"

Yunshuixian was so hungry that she was dizzy and saw cows everywhere. She saw cows in the sky and cows in the trees.

I thought I was hallucinating, but when I turned around, I really saw two big pieces of beef.

He immediately forgot everything, grabbed the meat, and started gnawing on it.

"Eat slowly."

Huo Jingya was quite relieved, thinking that she had come to terms with it.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a branch snapping behind me.

Huo Jingya turned around and her face immediately turned pale with fear. She grabbed Yun Shuixian and ran away.

Oops!

It's that Li factory manager who always looks at people with a sinister gaze!

Just as Yun Shuixian was enjoying her meal, Huo Jingya dragged her, causing the beef bone to fall to the ground. She forcefully shook off Huo Jingya and squatted down to pick it up.

"Narcissus!"

In that instant, Li Chang pounced.

Yun Shuixian then saw the person who made her hair stand on end, and was so frightened that she squatted down on the ground.

Huo Jingya threw a stone, blocking Yun Shuixian's path as usual.

"Narcissus! Run!"

Huo Jingya had already been grabbed by Li Chang, and she was kicking and hitting him desperately.

"Run! Run!"

At Huo Jingya's shrill scream, Yun Shuixian finally reacted and ran away.

Under the tree.

Huo Chang'an, who was pretending to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.
