Prince Mu had two wives. His first wife, Lan Jiarou, was in poor health after giving birth to Mu Hongqi and had been ill for a long time.

Out of desperation, Prince Mu took another concubine to manage the affairs of the palace. The two had two children, Mu Hongyu and Mu Hongcheng.

However, although both Prince Mu and his second wife have passed away for several years, Lan Jiarou, who has always been sickly, is still alive and well, and even shows signs of becoming more and more energetic.

Mu Wanjun's parents are from the first wife's family, and she has an older brother and a younger brother.

It has been more than half a month since Mu Wanjun transmigrated into the book.

During this time, she had been secretly stockpiling and purchasing various supplies in preparation for her upcoming journey into exile.

In her previous life, she was an orphan who was unexpectedly adopted by Su Yunhai. She lived in the Su family since childhood and was Shen Shuli's playmate.

She has a photo of her parents when they were young, which she has kept to this day.

But she never expected that after transmigrating, the original owner's parents would look 80% like her parents from her previous life!

Furthermore, the original owner's parents treated her extremely well, so well that they spoiled their daughter into a spoiled, arrogant, and easily irritable naive sweetheart.

Fortunately, the Mu family held a prestigious position, and no one dared to offend the original owner, which led to the original owner becoming increasingly arrogant and domineering, offending countless people.

Even the Mu sisters didn't have a genuine friendship with him.

But for Mu Wanjun, who had traveled through time, this was an extremely advantageous situation.

Others respect and fear her, so they dare not bother her, nor do they understand her.

In just half a month.

While secretly stockpiling supplies, Mu Wanjun also cultivated a relationship with her parents.

She quickly grew fond of these parents, largely due to her longing for her parents from a previous life being projected onto them.

However, she did not tell her parents that she knew the fate of the Mu family. She would not tell anyone other than herself her biggest secret and trump card.

This includes the original owner's biological parents.

Besides, these parents weren't really her parents; she was perfectly clear-headed.

"Grandmother, Mother, how are you?" Mu Wanjun asked her mother and grandmother with concern.

“We’re fine, Jun’er, don’t be afraid. We’ll always be with you.” Gao Linglong stroked Mu Wanjun’s hair, her eyes filled with worry.

Worried that her grandmother's health couldn't handle it, she habitually took her grandmother's hand to check her pulse, her brows furrowing involuntarily.

"Grandmother, you haven't had a drop of water since last night, and you're very weak. I'll try to get you something to eat."

"No need to trouble yourself, Grandmother is in good health. This place is different from other places, so you must not stand out lest you attract attention," said Old Madam Mu, feigning nonchalance.

Gao Linglong gripped Mu Wanjun's hand tightly with worry, afraid that she might lose her temper impulsively.

“Yes, Jun’er, the people here are all sycophants who fawn over the powerful and belittle the weak. You must not act impulsively or lose your temper. We are not the same as before. No one will give us face.”

Mu Wanjun patted her mother's hand, and secretly pulled out a very thin gold leaf from the corner of her clothes, saying to the two of them, "Don't worry, they may not give us face, but they will definitely help us out of respect for this."

Madam Mu and Gao Linglong were surprised to find that she had hidden gold leaves on her person, wondering when she had secretly hidden them.

Mu Wanjun knew they had many questions they wanted to ask, but she didn't want to answer them. She got up and walked to the front of the cell to call for help.

"Officer, officer, please come here!" Mu Wanjun called out loudly through the iron bars to the constables in front of her.

"What's all the noise about! If you keep making noise, I'll smash your mouth in!" the constable roared angrily.

Mu Wanjun remained calm, seemingly oblivious to the other person's profanities. She revealed the gold in her hand and shook it, trying to make sure the constable saw it.

The constables were instantly drawn to the golden light, still cursing under their breath, but their bodies honestly moved closer to the gold.

As he drew near, she reached out to snatch the gold leaf.

Mu Wanjun deftly withdrew her hand.

"Officer, can I ask you something?" Mu Wanjun said with a smile.

The constable, his eyes fixed on the gold in Mu Wanjun's hand, impatiently urged, "Spit it out!"

Mu Wanjun took a deep breath, smiled, and waved the gold leaf in her hand, saying, "We haven't eaten all day. Could you please help us buy some meat buns and water, sir? I will be very grateful."

The yamen runner never expected it to be such a trivial matter.

"No problem, bring it here, I'll take care of it right away," the constable said with a smile.

Mu Wanjun didn't believe these constables at all, and still smiled innocently, saying, "Officer, do you want me to buy it first and then give it to you, or should I tear it in half for you first, and then I'll give you the rest after you buy it?"

This is a whole gold leaf; if it's torn into small pieces, it won't be worth much.

The constable hadn't expected this woman to be so cunning. He glared fiercely at Mu Wanjun and said, "Don't you dare tear it! Wait, I'll be right there!"

Mu Wanjun breathed a slight sigh of relief, then pressed her advantage, saying, "Officer, I want thirty meat buns and four water pouches! Otherwise, our deal is off!"

The constable was so angry he gritted his teeth, but he still turned and left.

It didn't take long.

The constable returned with the items.

"Here you go! Not one missing! Give me the stuff!"

The bailiffs had Mu Wanjun check the quantity, and after verifying that it was correct, Mu Wanjun handed the gold leaves over to the bailiffs to complete the transaction.

Mu Wanjun cut the large gold leaf into smaller gold leaves in advance to make it easier to hide.

The gold leaf she gave to the yamen runner weighed about 2 grams and could be exchanged for 400 coins, but the amount of gold was small, so the market price would be higher.

These things cost at most two hundred coins, and the yamen runners can make at least half of the profit.

Although the total value is not much, that's the allure of gold.

No one will complain about the amount.

The steamed buns were still warm and quite large.

One bun is enough for an adult woman to eat her fill, so Mu Wanjun immediately gave her grandmother and mother a bun each, and also handed them a water pouch.

"Father, elder brother, younger brother, come here a bit." Mu Wanjun called out to the cell diagonally opposite.

Male and female prisoners are detained separately.

Mu Wanjun's father, brother, and younger brother are in another cell, fortunately not too far away, diagonally opposite.

Mu Hongqi had already overheard his daughter's conversation with the constable, but he was surprised that his daughter had actually managed to get the constable to buy her food.

"Jun'er, your father is here."

Mu Hongqi and his two sons stood in a row, trying to see through the iron bars towards Mu Wanjun's cell.

However, due to the limited angle, they could only see a small part.

"Dad, I'll throw you the steamed buns and water pouch, please catch them."

"One is enough for each of us, you three should eat more."

Mu Wanjun smiled but did not respond. She wrapped the bun in an oil paper bag and carefully tossed it, along with the two water pouches, to her father's feet.

"Eat it all! I have more here if it's not enough."

Then one was given to each of the following: Old Madam Xie, Madam Xie, the seven sisters-in-law of the Xie family, and several girls of the Xie family.

The two youngest girls in the Xie family are twins, and they are only one year old.

There's also a three-year-old; the three of them combined probably couldn't even finish one.

The Xie family women were shocked to find that Princess Anrong would distribute steamed buns to them, and that each adult would receive one.
