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

Lin Mo slept until dark, only waking up when the team stopped to rest.

This time, without being told, Xu Ping'an and his group rushed in and claimed their accommodations for the night as soon as the car was parked.

Lin Mo stepped down from the carriage and saw her mother and the others staring at her cautiously. She shook her head.

"I am fine."

The sharp pain from the top of her head reminded Lin Mo once again that she must not be soft-hearted on the road to exile.

The consequence of being soft-hearted—a cracked skull.

This lesson must be remembered.

Lin Mo glanced in the direction of the Han family, then looked away.

She told Xu Pingfeng to sleep in the carriage that night to prevent anyone from switching the carriages.

Then they went inside the house.

Xu Pingan and Xu Pinggui were clever enough to occupy a corner spot.

After they came in, Xu Pingan and the other three immediately went out to find food and firewood.

Lin Mo was very satisfied.

However, as they went out, they were instructed to cut some thatch if they saw any.

This place is neither near a village nor a shop.

Even if we wanted to buy something, we couldn't. After the thatch was dried, we used it as a mattress to keep warm.

After Xu Ping'an and the others left, Lin Mo handed the sweet potatoes she was carrying to Granny Qin, asking her to wash them and cook them.

Meanwhile, her mother and Granny Yun led Lin Shuo and Xu Xianyu to clean the dust off the kang (a heated brick bed).

Lin Mo glanced at the firewood they had brought, then squatted down, wanting to start a fire to dispel the chill filling the room.

"You rest, I'll take care of it."

Xu Wuyan reached out and took her hand.

She lost a lot of blood from her head and should have eaten something good to nourish her body, but that's not an option right now, so she can only rest more.

Lin Mo didn't refuse and let him take over.

Looking around, I noticed that everyone was unusually busy tonight.

Some tidied up, while others set up the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove).

Thinking about it, that makes sense.

Having learned their lesson last night, who would dare to slack off?

In just one night, there are already quite a few more people coughing in the queue today.

Lin Mo thought for a moment, then took out a medicine bottle and handed it to Xu Wuyan:

"When Xu Pingan and the others come back later, give them one to eat to prevent them from catching a cold."

Xu Wuyan glanced at her and nodded:

"it is good."

Lin Mo stood up. "I'm going out for a walk."

"No!" Xu Wuyan shook his head.

With a look of disapproval on his face, he said, "You have a head injury; you can't walk around like that."

Hearing that she was going out, Liu Ying, who was standing nearby, was also staring at her nervously, as if she would try to stop her if she wanted to leave.

"I'm fine." Lin Mo shook her head.

"I'll go see if I can find any food."

The fire's burning; anyone whose shoes are wet, hurry and dry them. And…”

As she spoke, Lin Mo looked at Liu Ying:

“Mother, if you have time, I have some fabric in my bundle. Take it out and make some thick socks and gloves.”

After saying that, Lin Mo walked outside.

Xu Wuyan frowned. Why was she so...diligent?

The other wives wished she wouldn't have to lift a finger.

His wife, on the other hand, wanted everything to go through her hands.

At this moment, Xu Dapeng came in, and Xu Wuyan told him to watch the fire before chasing after him.

He was worried about leaving her alone.

But when he went out, she was gone.

Just as he was about to continue chasing after them, someone called out to him.

The person who called out to him was his maternal grandfather, Old Master Han.

“Grandfather.” Xu Wuyan glanced at him, then lowered his head.

Grandpa Han nodded slightly, gesturing for him to follow him to a secluded corner, then lowered his voice:

"What have you thought about what I told you before? I know it will make you feel bad, but there's nothing I can do about it."

At this point, Old Master Han sighed:

"Now there are two companies, we'll try to save one if we can."

"If the Han family is alright, they will naturally protect you and your siblings. But if both our families fall, then we're truly finished."

Xu Wuyan looked up, his eyes sharply fixed on Master Han:

"Grandfather, do you know that your suggestion will place my siblings and me in an abyss of no return? By then, we will already be dead. How can you protect a few dead people?"

Once they write the so-called confession as he wishes, the three siblings will undoubtedly die.

Moreover, it will implicate everyone who gets close to the Prince of Anping's mansion.

The emperor's goal was to eliminate powerful families; he desperately wanted someone to provide him with leverage so he could take action.

Old Master Han's face darkened. "So, you're not willing?"

Do you think I want you to die?

"Xu Wuyan, you are my grandson, my only son, the only son of my legitimate daughter. Do you think I would abandon you?"

Xu Wuyan remained unmoved.

He shook his head:

"Grandfather, people's hearts are hard to fathom."

I don't want things that come out of thin air.

I don't want my father to die and then have to bear the blame, or implicate others.

After speaking, he bowed and turned to leave.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Old Master Han quickly called out to stop him.

But Xu Wuyan wouldn't listen to him at all; he didn't even stop or look back.

This infuriated Old Master Han. He thought, "This brat has gone too far! He doesn't respect me at all!"

"Father!" Han Yushu walked over from the side:

“I already told you that this kid is inherently rebellious and will never listen to us.”

Old Master Han remained silent, his face grim.

"Father, there's not much time left. You need to make a decision quickly. They won't wait long over there, especially if we continue on our way, we'll get further and further away from the capital, which will be disadvantageous for us." Han Yushu said anxiously.

Who wouldn't want to escape the fate of exile?

Once you are truly exiled, you will never be able to return to the capital for the rest of your life, and most importantly, your family will be barred from pursuing an official career for three generations.

Even the largest family will be completely lost to the dust of history once no one in three generations serves as an official in the imperial court.

Grandpa Han raised his head:

"Do you have any idea?"

Han Yushu was overjoyed; he knew his father was interested.

Han Yushu leaned close to his ear and whispered something.

……

Lin Mo did not mean to eavesdrop.

She went outside for a walk, and once she was sure no one was watching her, she entered the space.

The original plan was simply to rob the Han family of all their money, but unexpectedly, the Han father and son were muttering to each other on the side.

If someone speaks in secret, they're most likely up to something bad.

Since they were up to no good, Lin Mo naturally went over to listen.

Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but sneer.

Now she finally understands why the Han and Xu families had a falling out in her past life.

Using the Xu family as a stepping stone.

They forced the Xu family to write fabricated confessions, which also included their accomplices.

They're capable of doing something like this.

A complete falling out and cutting off all contact would be the least of her worries; with her current explosive temper, she could kill them.

shameless!

He still wants to return to the capital to become an official?

Lin Mo curled her lips into a mocking smile, and made her move, stealing all the silver notes hidden on their bodies without them noticing.

Upon unfolding the space, Lin Mo looked at it with disdain.

The two of them together had a little over five hundred taels of silver.

despise.

Seeing the father and son chatting happily, Lin Mo's lips curled into a wicked smile.

Reach out and give Old Master Han a push on the back!

"father!"

Seeing his father falling towards him, Han Yushu was startled and instinctively reached out and pushed him away forcefully.

boom!

Old Master Han was pushed to the ground by Han Yushu, and let out a painful scream.

"Ah, Father, I didn't mean to!" Han Yushu said in a panic, trying to help him up.

"You unfilial son, you pushed me!"

……

After glancing at the chaotic scene involving the Han family father and son, Lin Mo didn't waste any more time and headed straight for the Han family's headquarters, looting along the way.

She accepted all the money and banknotes with a smile.

Seeing Xu Mengxian wiping the heated kang bed alone, she felt no sympathy for her at all, and even thought she deserved it.

After visiting the Han family, she also visited the Shen family.

After he finished looking around, he walked out of the post station with a smile on his face.

Another fruitful day.

After being immoral, I felt really good.

From now on, I must do more immoral things.

Those who have offended me, I'll deal with them one by one.

Thinking of Zhou Yuxuan.

Lin Mo was in a better mood.

According to the trajectory of her past life, she will come to cause trouble for me tonight.

But she's injured right now, and I don't want to waste my energy dealing with her.

So, I just added some ingredients to her wound.

She should be able to get a good night's sleep tonight.

After brewing herself some ginseng chicken soup in the space, Lin Mo finally left, satisfied.

To provide cover.

She carried a small bundle of damp firewood back home.

From afar, she saw someone peering out from the entrance of the post station.

Before she could see clearly, the other person had already rushed towards her.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered it was Xu Wuyan.

Lin Mo asked curiously, "What are you doing out here? Wouldn't it be better to eat, drink, sleep, and rest? Why would you be so foolish as to run out into the cold wind?"

Xu Wuyan, "..."

He looked at her intently for a moment, then looked away.

"It's too noisy, I came out for some fresh air."

"Go inside."

After saying that, he took the firewood she was carrying and turned to walk towards the post station.

Lin Mo shrugged and followed.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the post station, Lin Mo heard the familiar screams coming from inside, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Great, it worked.
