My treasure bowl connects the past and present; I've won everything on my journey into exile.

Xu Xianyu glanced worriedly at Xu Mengxian's figure, then looked at Lin Mo:

"Sister-in-law, Xiaoxian is still young..."

"Fourteen years old, not young anymore," Lin Mo interrupted her.

"Everyone has to pay the price for their choices, whether it's her or me."

Xu Xianyu remained silent.

Even so, that's her sister, how could she not be worried?

"Alright, Xiaoyu, leave her alone. Let her suffer a bit first." Xu Wuyan's face was icy cold.

"If your maternal grandparents contact you, be careful. Don't believe everything they say. Don't agree to do anything they ask you to do."

"Big Brother!" Xu Xianyu looked up in surprise.

What does it mean when you say that, brother?

"Don't ask anything else. Just remember what I said. Your older brother will take care of everything else." Xu Wuyan shook his head at her.

Xu Xianyu nodded seriously and said nothing more.

Previously, she was the head of the Anping Prince's Mansion.

She had access to far more information than Xu Mengxian, and she quickly guessed what must have happened in her own family and her maternal grandparents' family, which was why her elder brother had become wary of her maternal grandparents' family.

A dark glint flashed in Lin Mo's eyes. It seemed that something had happened between the Han family and the Xu family that she was unaware of.

Therefore, these two families, who were originally very close, developed a rift and eventually drifted apart.

Although curious, Lin Mo did not ask.

Because there are too many people, it's difficult to manage.

So before setting off, Lao Wei and the others divided this huge exile team into several smaller teams, with each team consisting of twenty escorts.

The Anping Prince's Mansion, the Han family, the Changle Marquis's Mansion, the Zhao family, the Mu family, the Liu family, the Xu family, and twelve other families were placed under the jurisdiction of Old Wei.

Unfortunately, Qian Zhengchang, one of the Empress's men, also happened to be assigned to their side.

Old Wei cracked his whip in the air, emphasized the requirements, and explained the consequences of running away, before setting off.

The escorts all rode horses, wore straw hats, and were covered with raincoats.

Old Wei and another person led the way, while three others kept watch at the back to prevent anyone from running away. The rest of the people followed on both sides of the group.

The Xu family was at the front of the procession.

From the moment we began our journey, we could hear the guards cracking their whips and cursing all the time.

Although everyone had complaints, they dared not delay and could only move forward in the drizzle.

Although it was a light drizzle, getting soaked from being in the rain all the way was inevitable.

Once your clothes get wet, you'll naturally feel incredibly cold.

Xu Mengxian was cold, hungry, and tired.

She ate only one cornbread this morning, and now it's noon, she's starving.

Xu Mengxian couldn't hold back any longer and staggered as she caught up with Madam Han ahead:

"Aunt, could you give me a steamed bun? I'm so hungry."

"Do you think you're the only one who's hungry?" Madam Han said with a sharp look.

"Go ask anyone who isn't hungry?"

But what you wanted to eat, we don't have anymore.

Hmph, it's completely useless.

Tell her to go and get the carriage back. If she can't, and still wants to eat, she's dreaming.

Xu Mengxian was taken aback, her eyes fixed on her bundle:

"Aunt, I clearly saw there were still steamed buns in your bundle, why won't you give me one? Aren't we family?"

"Xu Mengxian, get this straight, your surname is Xu, and mine is Han. How are we family?" Madam Han said with a mocking smile, "If you want something to eat, go ask the one with the surname Xu."

Xu Mengxian blushed and looked at Madam Han, who had two completely different faces, with disbelief.

She clearly said this morning that they were a family.

How did things get like this?

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Madam Han's eyes. Oh well, she still needed to keep this fool in check and get her help with her tasks.

Taking a deep breath, she pulled out a frozen, hard cornbread and handed it to Xu Mengxian as if it were a handout.

"Fine, I can't help but be soft-hearted, here, have this."

Let me tell you, only I would be willing to give you food; no one else would be willing to share their food with you.

Xu Mengxian held the steamed bun, her face filled with emotion.

My aunt is still the best.

Even though he scolded himself, he still fed himself.

She was so hungry that she grabbed a frozen, rock-hard cornbread and started gnawing on it.

Madam Han was disgusted.

When she looked up at the drizzling rain drifting in the sky, her face was terribly gloomy.

The carriage of the Han family was filled with only the legitimate male members, who were the hope of the family and could not afford to have any mishaps.

The rest of the people had no choice but to walk.

The journey to exile was exceptionally long; if one relied solely on walking, it would be impossible to reach the destination.

She was already exhausted after only two days on the trip.

No, we need to get a horse-drawn carriage.

Madam Han's eyes lit up, and she immediately had an idea.

She glanced at Xu Mengxian, who was happily munching on a cornbread bun, and lowered her voice:

"Xiaoxian, do you want to eat meat but don't want to walk?"

Xu Mengxian looked up, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at Madam Han:

"think."

"Come here, I have an idea?"

……

After hearing Madam Han's words, Xu Mengxian looked at her, stammering:

"Aunt, I...I dare not!"

"Dare not?" Madam Han sneered.

"So you want to stay for months? Don't you want to enjoy the good life?"

Xu Mengxian was silent for a long time before finally saying, "Okay, I promise you!"

"That's right!" Madam Han said with a smile.

"Listen to your aunt. She won't harm you. She'll only treat you to the best of everything."

……

Qian Zhengchang, riding his horse and cracking his whip, shouted:

"We'll rest up ahead for a while, and continue our journey in half an hour."

"Do you remember everything?"

"If you miss the travel time, you will all be treated as fugitives."

……

As he passed the Xu family's carriage, he glanced at them.

This made Lin Mo's heart pound.

It's only the second day, is Qian Zhengchang planning to make a move now?

Lin Mo's alarm bells rang loudly.

When they stopped to rest, Lin Mo walked to Xu Wuyan's side and whispered:

Be careful.

Xu Wuyan was taken aback, and just as he was about to ask her what she meant, Lin Mo walked towards the woods ahead:

"I'll go find something to eat."

She has plenty of cooked steamed buns in her space.

But it's not easy to take it out.

After all, the supply of goods is limited. If there's a continuous stream of steamed buns being offered, people will start to get suspicious.

"Sister, I'll go with you."

Lin Shuo chased after him.

Lin Mo shook her head, telling him to stay with Liu Ying while she went to find it herself.

Are you kidding me? If they follow me, how am I supposed to take things out of my spatial storage?

“I’ll go with you; it’s not safe for you to go alone,” Xu Wuyan said.

"You can't leave. You stay here and watch the carriage. Let Xu Ping'an and Xu Pinggui go, the rest of you can rest." Lin Mo shook her head.

"Worried about my safety?"

Lin Mo smiled slightly, picked up a rain-soaked wooden stick, and exerted force with both hands.

With a snap, the wooden stick, as thick as a baby's arm, broke in two.

Xu Wuyan, "..."

He seems to have married an extraordinary wife.

He could break that stick, but not as easily as she could.

So, he's living off a woman now.

Xu Wuyan shook his head, glanced at the shivering crowd, and then at the surroundings, which weren't too wet.

He asked Xu Dapeng to gather some relatively dry firewood to start a fire. Even if it was smoky, at least it would provide some warmth.

……

With no one to bother her, Lin Mo wandered aimlessly through the mountains and forests, found a secluded spot, and slipped into her spatial dimension.

After entering the space, Lin Mo took some food and began to eat it in large mouthfuls.

After eating and drinking to their heart's content, they let out a satisfied burp.

She had plenty of food and drink in her space, but Lin Mo was worried about how to take it out for her mother and the others to eat.

After much deliberation, she finally chose a few large sweet potatoes.

After confirming that no one was around, he left the space, then soaked the sweet potato in the rainwater on the ground before picking it up.

very good!

Lin Mo was very satisfied; it looked like it had just been dug up.

go back.

This sweet potato soup, along with steamed buns, makes for a satisfying meal.

But as they approached the meeting point, he saw someone looking around suspiciously nearby, and his face fell.

Ha, are they here to cause trouble for me?

However, she wasn't afraid at all.

Lin Mo ignored him and walked straight past him.

Just as he was about to pass her, she reached out and stopped him.

Lin Mo stopped in her tracks, her eyes filled with impatience:

"Is something wrong?"

Why are you so bored and restless? Why are you staying here and making trouble for yourself?

Wasn't she fierce enough?

Lin Mo felt she had figured out the truth.

It seems...

Lin Mo stared at Xu Mengxian in front of her with a sinister look in her eyes. Should she make an example of her to warn others?

So what if she's my sister-in-law? She should be beaten when she deserves it.
