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

After she finished speaking, the atmosphere fell silent for a moment. Just as Ji Yunshu was wondering if she had said too much, she saw the old princess, who had been stunned, suddenly fill her eyes with tears, and in the blink of an eye, large tears fell down.

Immediately afterwards, the eldest sister-in-law, Li, the second sister-in-law, Chen, and Xie Mohuan also began to silently shed tears.

Today's events have been a huge blow to them. They have been holding on all this time, and no one dares to mention the confiscation of their property and their exile today.

Now that Ji Yunshu had said it out loud, they couldn't hold back anymore and hugged each other, crying for a long time before they calmed down.

When the old princess looked up again, her eyes were no longer blank; instead, they had become firm.

"Third brother's wife is right. We must take good care of ourselves on this journey! Only by living peacefully can we wait for the day when the Prince's Mansion is exonerated! Our Prince's Mansion has been loyal for generations, and we cannot bear the crime of treason without any explanation!"

Xie Mohuan, Li Shi, and Chen Shi also nodded, their eyes gradually becoming clear and firm, no longer as lifeless as before.

Ji Yunshu nodded with satisfaction.

The original story states that the old princess later lost her will to live, so her health deteriorated day by day. Now that she has rekindled their will to live, the old princess herself wants to live, so she probably won't die like in the original story; she will cherish her life.

The group alternated between crying and laughing, creating a warm and lively atmosphere.

Ji Yunshu quickly told them to try the "steamed buns" in her arms.

The group looked at the steamed buns in their hands; they were no different from what they usually ate.

But when they took a bite, their mouths were filled with the aroma of meat, and they were all stunned. They picked up their steamed buns to look at them and then discovered that the steamed buns actually contained meat filling!

This isn't a steamed bun, it's clearly a baozi!

Xie Mohuan exclaimed in surprise.

"Third Sister-in-law, this, this..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ji Yunshu gestured for her to be quiet. Xie Mohuan was smart enough to understand immediately and quickly covered her mouth, not saying another word.

Ji Yunshu smiled and winked playfully at them.

"I told you, I won't let you go hungry. Just eat as much as you want. I have plenty left. Just focus on filling your stomachs and don't ask any other questions."

She didn't know how to explain it to them; she didn't want to tell anyone about the space issue yet.

The group nodded knowingly and didn't press the matter further. They each wolfed down their meat buns.

Compared to the cold and hard dry steamed buns from before, these meat buns are much tastier. The bun skin is soft and fragrant, and the meat filling inside is very tender. Every bite is full of the aroma of meat juice.

The meat filling also contained some ginger and minced garlic for flavor. Although the buns were a bit cold, they weren't hard at all; they were still soft and fluffy when you bit into them.

The group ate two or three in one go. When Ji Yunshu wanted to give them more, they all waved their hands, their faces full of satisfaction.

"We can't eat anymore, we can't eat anymore, Third Sister-in-law, we can't eat anymore! My goodness, Third Sister-in-law, you're amazing! Where did you get so many meat buns?!"

Ji Yunshu smiled and patted Xie Mohuan's head. She didn't explain where the meat buns came from, but simply told her to take good care of her mother and sister-in-law. Then she got up and returned to Xie Moyao's side.

Xie Moyao witnessed the scene of the group chatting and laughing.

He was a bit far away and didn't know what Ji Yunshu was talking about with his mother and sister, but seeing his mother and sister smiling so happily made him happy too. He nodded gratefully to Ji Yunshu.

"Thanks!"

Ji Yunshu waved her hand, took out a meat bun from her bosom, and handed it to Xie Moyao.

"Don't thank me, we're family now. Here, you didn't eat lunch, you should eat something this afternoon. I just talked to Mom and the others, don't worry about food, I have a way to take care of it. The most important thing for you all right now is to take good care of yourselves, especially you."

"Once we reach the place of exile, if I leave, you'll have to protect your family yourself. You must recover quickly so you can protect them; otherwise, there will still be many people watching you."

Xie Moyao lowered his head, his expression complex. He knew, of course, that only by recovering could he protect his family, but...

"I'm not going to get better. Since the accident, I've seen countless doctors, but they all say my leg is beyond repair. Even if I hadn't been exiled and my family's property confiscated, my body would only last another six months at most."

Ji Yunshu was somewhat bewildered.

Nani?

Half a year? ??

Which quack doctor said that!

Wasn't it said that there were many highly skilled doctors in ancient times? She took Xie Moyao's pulse. Although Xie Moyao's body was severely depleted, his legs had old injuries, and he was poisoned, as long as the toxins in his body were cleaned and he was properly cared for, living for several decades would not be a big problem.

However, given the medical techniques of this time, it would probably take quite a bit of effort to completely heal his leg injury.

But it's far from the point where they only have six months to live.

"Which quack doctor said you only have six months to live?"

"Many doctors said the same thing." After he was injured, dozens, if not hundreds, of doctors came to the Prince's mansion to treat him. They all came to similar conclusions. Later, he didn't want to see any more doctors, so he stopped seeking them out.

"That's utter nonsense! Are all the doctors in Dongling Kingdom dead? Where did you find this charlatan? Your health isn't very good; you have a lot of toxins in your body. But as long as you clear the toxins and use some precious herbs to recuperate for a while, you can live for several more decades without any problem."

Xie Moyao suddenly looked up, staring at Ji Yunshu in shock.

"What do you mean by that? Is there really any hope for me?"

Ji Yunshu stuffed a meat bun into her mouth, took a bite, and rolled her eyes at him.

"Why would I lie to you? Don't worry, I can definitely cleanse all the toxins from your body in less than six months, but the prerequisite is that you have to cooperate with me."

In her past life as a special agent, medicine and poison were essential skills, and she possessed exceptional talent, with unparalleled medical expertise. Detoxification and poisoning were not difficult for her.

However, Xie Moyao has too many poisons in his body, all kinds of them, and he has been poisoned for quite some time. She needs time to study them slowly in order to figure out all the poisons. Half a year should be enough.

Xie Moyao hesitated, unsure if Ji Yunshu's words were true, but at the moment, his only hope lay with Ji Yunshu.

Of all the doctors he'd seen, Ji Yunshu was the only one who said there was still hope for him.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll do anything you want as long as you can cure me!"

Ji Yunshu nodded, not taking his words to heart, and casually replied,

"You don't need to do anything. Helping you with your treatment is just a favor. Once we reach our destination, we'll part ways. You don't need to give me anything else, just give me a divorce agreement."
