Exile? A mad, wicked woman empties the national treasury to escape famine.

These carriages and horses were stolen by the bandits. When she went to the backyard to find Aunt Wu, she saw these carriages and horses and casually put them into her space and took them with her.

Perhaps the bandits brought them back too late last night and didn't have time to slaughter the horses, so their horses and carriages were intact.

She originally only intended to take their own horses, but among all the horses, only theirs were intact, and they were not missing any supplies. This was too suspicious, so after thinking it over, she decided to take all the horses with her.

Ji Yunshu put all the horses together and arranged the surroundings, using some grass and thorny trees to make sure the horses wouldn't pull the carriage around.

After arranging all this, she returned to Li's side.

The two were still asleep. Ji Yunshu waited for a while and noticed that Li Shi and the little one were showing signs of waking up. She quickly and quietly returned to the group.

As she helped tidy up, she silently kept track of the time.

About a cup of tea later

A rustling sound came from the nearby woods. Everyone was talking and no one noticed the commotion, but Xie Moyao did.

He narrowed his eyes and pointed to the bushes beside him.

"There are people there."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent and looked in the direction Xie Moyao pointed. Even the eldest prince subconsciously looked in the direction Xie Moyao was pointing.

Before long, a woman carrying a baby emerged from the bushes.

"Sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law!"

"Eldest son's wife!"

"Madam!"

Everyone in the Prince's mansion stared at the newcomer in disbelief, their voices trembling in unison.

Xie Mohuan and Chen Shi couldn't wait to go over to Li Shi, one helping her up and the other taking the baby from her hands.

The other people in the Prince's residence also quickly went to greet them.

The old lady walked shakily to Li Shi, grasped Li Shi's hands with both of them, and had tears in her eyes.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, what are you doing here? What are you doing here? Didn't third daughter-in-law say you ran away? Are you alright? Are you hurt? Thank goodness! What a blessing! And the little one, is the little one alright too?"

Ms. Li nodded. For some reason, she felt that she had slept very well and felt very energetic.

"Mom, I'm fine. I don't know why, but when I woke up I was lying on the ground around here. The little one is right next to me, and we're both okay."

As she spoke, she pointed to the bushes nearby.

"Oh right, I just woke up and heard some noises over here, so I came this way. On the way, I saw several horses grazing in the grass. I took a quick look, and they looked like our horses!"

She couldn't be mistaken about the carriage's decor, but something was strange: why were there two odd things on their carriage?

Upon hearing this, the exiled people and their families could no longer sit still!

This is too strange. On the day they were kidnapped by the bandits, the carriage was also driven away by the bandits.

Now, Li claims to have seen their carriage and horses nearby—how is that possible?!

Ling Yun quickly got up and led a few of his men into the woods.

They are too weak to travel now, so a carriage is essential if they want to travel, otherwise they will have to walk.

It goes without saying how difficult it was.

Zhou's father and mother exchanged a glance and quickly ran into the woods. The Luo family followed closely behind, for that was their life-saving item!

Along this journey, we can't do without a horse-drawn carriage!

Seeing this, Ji Yunshu also gave Xie Lin a wink.

Xie Lin understood, and the three of them, Xie Mohuan and Xiao Lan, excitedly ran into the woods.

Before long, groups of two or three people emerged from the woods, each driving a horse-drawn carriage.

Everyone had a smile on their face. The carriage was a big deal to them now, and finding it was like a blessing from heaven. It meant that they wouldn't have to walk anymore when traveling.

Such a long journey would be unbearable without a carriage.

Ji Yunshu also stepped forward with a smile, pretending to check the contents of their carriage.

She nodded in satisfaction only after confirming that the supplies in their wagon and the air conditioner she had installed were undamaged.

Sherlin looked at the air conditioner on the roof of the carriage, somewhat puzzled.

"Oh, Your Highness, what is this? I don't remember it being in our carriage before?"

Ji Yunshu blinked and casually said, "Hmm, I don't know either. Maybe those bandits put it on for us. But this thing looks familiar. I feel like I've seen it somewhere before. I remember seeing something like this in a book before."

"I've heard it's quite amazing; even in the middle of summer, this thing can blow out cold air, lowering the temperature of a place, making it feel like winter. This is the first time I've ever seen one, so I don't know if it's true or not. Let's go up and try it out."

She lied through her teeth. She had initially tried to explain that she bought it in the city, but now she simply pinned the blame on the bandits. After all, the bandits were all dead, so even if someone suspected something, they wouldn't be able to find any evidence.

As expected, no one cared about where this thing came from anymore; they were all attracted by Ji Yunshu's comment that it could blow out a cool breeze even in the middle of summer.

Seeing Ji Yunshu get into the carriage, Xie Mohuan and the other two also climbed onto the carriage.

Inside the carriage, the remote control was placed on the table. Ji Yunshu took out the remote control and pretended to press a few random buttons, and the air conditioning vent turned on.

A gust of cold wind blew out from inside, and Xie Lin was standing right at the vent, feeling the biting cold wind. He was thrilled.

"Oh my god, there really is a cold wind, a cold wind! It's so refreshing!"

Xie Mohuan and Xiao Lan couldn't wait any longer and moved over to where he was standing. The cold wind was blowing against them, and the three of them felt like they had discovered a new continent. They excitedly opened the carriage curtain.

"Madam, there really is a cold draft!"

"Mom, there really is a cold breeze, it feels so refreshing!"

The group looked excited. The old lady and the others standing outside couldn't wait any longer. They quickly got up and had Li Mama help them to the carriage. The heat made her anxious. She wanted to see if it was true or not. How could there be a cold breeze blowing out on such a hot day?

The villagers craned their necks to look into the carriage, curious as to how a cold breeze could possibly blow out on such a hot day.

But no one went over; they stood obediently in place, not approaching the carriage. The princess had already done enough for them.

Ji Yunshu jumped off the carriage and turned on the air conditioning in the other carriage as well. Xie Lin couldn't wait any longer, so he quickly carried Xie Moyao onto the carriage, then turned around and got off, taking Li Shi and the little guy onto the carriage as well. Everyone from the Prince's Mansion got into the carriage.

Seeing their actions and hearing the excited sounds coming from their carriage, everyone felt itchy to see how that thing could blow out cold air in this kind of weather.

It must be very cool, right?

The eldest prince's curiosity was also piqued. As a prince of a country, what strange and wonderful things in the world hadn't he seen?

This was the first time he had ever heard of anything that could blow out a cool breeze in the middle of summer. How could that be possible?!
