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

Lin Mo braised the two chickens.

As soon as the dish was served, many people peeked into the kitchen, but upon seeing Lin Mo, they immediately stopped and left.

Who would dare mess with a woman of immense strength?

After it was done, Lin Mo ladled out a bowlful, and then had Granny Qin scoop the rest into each of their bowls.

Then she took the chicken and went outside.

At this moment, Lao Wei and the others were also eating.

Lin Mo smiled and said, "I'll add a dish for you gentlemen. Don't think it's too little, just have a taste."

After saying that, he put down the bowl of chicken and turned to leave.

As soon as she stepped out of the room where the escorts were staying, Old Wei followed her out.

Seeing the wine flask handed to her by Lao Wei, Lin Mo pretended not to understand:

"Mr. Wei, do you want me to get you some hot water?"

Should I play dumb with him?

Old Wei sneered, "Wine."

Do you still have the wine from that day?

Yes, fill it up.

snort!

This woman did it on purpose; she deliberately used fine wine to entice his drinking habit.

For the past few days, he has been trying to forget the taste of the wine, but the more he tries to forget, the more he can't.

The alcohol cravings seemed to be everywhere, crawling all over his body.

It's really uncomfortable.

Seeing her, I couldn't hold back any longer.

"Wine? Plenty!" Lin Mo's lips curled slightly as she reached out and took the wine pouch from his hand.

"Master Wei, wait here, I'll go and install it for you right away!"

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the carriage.

In the instant she turned around, a dark glint flashed in her eyes—it was done.

She hadn't planned to take any wine while in the imperial kitchen.

I just remembered that Lao Wei was a heavy drinker.

Thinking that she could use wine to build a good relationship with Lao Wei, she moved all the wine from the imperial kitchen.

Now it has finally come in handy.

Very good, it wasn't a waste of time.

Lin Mo left quickly and returned quickly.

After taking the wine flask, Lao Wei muttered a couple of things before slowly going back to drink and eat.

After watching Lao Wei go inside, Lin Mo then headed towards the kitchen.

Turning around, he saw Qian Zhengchang staring at him with a gloomy face.

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, wondering if he should tell him that the person he was loyal to had sent someone to kill his wife and children when he left the capital.

And he himself, after completing the mission, will also meet a tragic end.

never mind!

Lin Mo sneered at the look in his eyes.

It's none of my business.

Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door, and don't care about other people's frost.

Lin Mo went straight into the kitchen.

Qian Zhengchang's face was gloomy. This woman was very strange.

He slowly looked towards the kitchen, wondering if he should...

Seeing Xu Wuyan and his group walk in from outside the gate, Qian Zhengchang's eyes flashed, and he immediately turned and left.

But Xu Wuyan had already discovered him.

Xu Wuyan noticed that he had been staring at the kitchen, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

When Xu Wuyan saw Lin Mo come out of the kitchen and call them to eat, his heart sank.

This guy surnamed Qian wants to make a move against his wife.

He cannot stay any longer.

"What are you doing standing there?" Lin Mo asked curiously.

"Dinner's ready. There's chicken for dinner tonight, and I saved some for you."

Xu Wuyan nodded, raised his hand, and showed the blood-soaked roe deer he was holding. "I was planning to roast the roe deer meat for you to try, but it looks like I'll have to do it tomorrow."

Lin Mo's eyes lit up.

"No need for tomorrow, we'll bake it in a bit and use it as provisions for the journey tomorrow."

Many people nearby looked on with envy; they had caught some wild game again.

How come they can hunt wild game so easily?

And how could our own people be so stupid? When they go hunting, nine times out of ten they come back empty-handed.

Compared to them, I couldn't help but give them a reproachful look.

On the Han family's side.

Seeing Xu Wuyan and the others enjoying a life of luxury, a dark glint flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Han Yushu, who had lost a lot of weight, glared venomously in the direction of Xu Wuyan. Their smugness wouldn't last long.

He glanced at Old Master Han beside him and lowered his voice:

"Father, has Han Yunfeng returned?"

Hopefully, that idiot won't ruin things.

Damn it, if it weren't for his own leg, he would have gone to see the other party himself.

His leg was already useless; even if it healed, he would still be lame.

All of this was thanks to Xu Wuyan and his wife; he wanted them dead.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Han Yushu's eyes.

Mr. Han shook his head, "Not yet."

Han Yushu said anxiously, "Father, you shouldn't have let the second son go. The second son has a temper..."

"Be patient." Old Master Han interrupted him, giving him an impatient look.

"Haste makes waste; you've ended up like this because you were too impatient."

Han Yushu stiffened and lowered his head.

His hands, hidden in his sleeves, were clenched into fists, and his eyes were filled with gloom.

So, did Dad also despise himself for being a good-for-nothing?

Just then, Han Yunfeng walked back, his face flushed.

He then sat down next to Old Master Han, suppressing his excitement and lowering his voice:

"Father, everything has been arranged."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over:

"He said that as long as a direct descendant of the Xu family signs the document and Xu Wuyan is lured out, the matter will be considered settled."

Grandpa Han took the paper, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

Xu Wuyan, don't blame your maternal grandfather for being ruthless.

It was you who abandoned the Han family first.

"Yunfeng, don't tell anyone about this."

Go get something to eat and rest. Leave the rest to me.

Han Yunfeng nodded.

If all goes well, the Han family will be able to end this damned exile tomorrow and return to their previous lives.

Thinking about all this, Han Yunfeng couldn't help but feel excited.

When I left, I felt like I was floating.

"Father, what's the next step?" Han Yushu asked Old Master Han.

He couldn't wait to end this inhuman life.

"Let me think about it."

Grandpa Han sat there deep in thought.

After a while, they finally sent someone to invite Xu Mengxian over.

As soon as Xu Mengxian arrived, Grandpa Han smiled and handed her a hot steamed bun:

"My child, you have worked hard."

Xu Mengxian was flattered and quickly waved her hand, refusing to accept the gift.

"Grandpa, no need, I've already had cornbread."

"Eat up, how can one cornbread be enough to fill you up?" Grandpa Han stuffed the cornbread into her hand, looking at her kindly.

"You've had a tough time these past few days, and I'm sorry to have wronged you."

Xu Mengxian's eyes reddened, and tears almost welled up in her eyes.

She lowered her head, shook it, and slowly took a bite of the steamed bun.

The steamed buns smell delicious.

Grandpa Han watched her eat her steamed bun and chatted with her about the past from time to time.

This brought a long-lost smile to Xu Mengxian's face.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming harmonious, Old Master Han suddenly spoke up:

"Xiaoxian, can you do Grandpa a favor?"

……

Lin Mo and Xu Wuyan were roasting roe deer in the kitchen.

The two chatted intermittently until the roe deer was cooked.

After roasting, Xu Wuyan cut off a roe deer leg for Lin Mo to eat.

Then he cut the remaining roe deer meat into small pieces and wrapped them in oil paper.

Looking at the large bag of roe deer meat, Xu Wuyan chuckled:

"For the next two days, we won't have to worry about meat."

"Ah."

Lin Mo nodded, took a bite of the roe deer meat in her hand, and said, "It's very fragrant."

"It's getting late, hurry up and eat. After you finish, go back and rest early, as we have to travel tomorrow." Xu Wuyan looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

A woman who can share your joys and sorrows is someone you should cherish.

Lin Mo didn't say anything more and sped up her eating.

After finishing their meal and washing their hands, the two walked towards the communal sleeping area, one after the other.

At this moment, all around was quiet, and everyone was fast asleep.

The two of them quietly climbed into bed and gently pulled the blanket over themselves.

The warm blankets made Lin Mo sigh comfortably.

If I could, I'd love to stay on the kang (heated brick bed) all winter and never get out of bed.

Unfortunately, this is just wishful thinking.

In the dim light, Lin Mo's every move was observed by Xu Wuyan, who smiled slightly, looking childlike.

Exhausted from a long day, he slowly closed his eyes.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, Xu Wuyan suddenly opened his eyes, quickly grabbed forward, and jumped off the bed.

Looking at the person he was holding in his hand, Xu Wuyan frowned:

"Why are you sneaking around here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? What are you up to?"

Han Dashan's face contorted in pain:

"Young Master, the Old Master sent me."

"It hurts, it hurts so much! Let go of me first, I... I have something to tell you."

The commotion they made woke Lin Mo and the others.

Lin Mo sat up and yawned sleepily.

"what happened?"

"Nothing much, just caught a thief who sneaked in in the middle of the night." Xu Wuyan made the final judgment, directly defining Han Dashan as a thief.

Han Dashan's eyes widened.

Before he could speak, Lin Mo yawned again and shook her head:

"Since he's a thief, just beat him up and throw him out. Don't dirty your hands."

After saying that, he lay down again.

"Okay!" Xu Wuyan nodded.

"Madam, you go to sleep. I'll throw the person out."

Han Dashan wanted to retort, but Xu Wuyan gave him a look, and he obediently shut his mouth.

This young master is not someone to be trifled with.
