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

Although she didn't care much about the divorce, this was, after all, ancient times. Wherever she went, people would ask her if she was married and who her husband was.

What if she meets the man she desires while traveling the world in the future?

Since I'm already married, this is troublesome. It's better to have a divorce agreement to put my mind at ease.

Xie Moyao was somewhat bewildered. At a time like this, Ji Yunshu would actually ask him for a divorce agreement?!

She had refused his offer before, but now she's made a deal with him that he'd give her the divorce papers once they reached the place of exile.

What exactly is she planning?

"Okay, I'll give it to you whenever you want it."

As he finished speaking, he felt a little bitter. He lost his appetite for the steamed bun in his hand, and when he took a bite, it tasted like chewing wax.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, and could only blame it on being too tired today and not getting enough rest.

After taking a few bites, he realized that the steamed bun Ji Yunshu gave him actually had meat filling. Where did this woman get meat buns from?

He looked around and saw that there was no one else around except for their group. But the meat bun in his hand was real, unlike the officials who always gave him cold steamed buns.

"Where did you get this meat bun?!"

This is unbelievable! In this desolate place, she actually pulled out a meat bun!

See you a long time!

Ji Yunshu looked at him thoughtfully, unsure how to explain, so she simply said:

"Don't forget what we just agreed on. You don't need to ask about anything else. You just need to know that I have no ill intentions towards the people of the Prince's Mansion."

She seemed a little guilty, but stubbornly continued speaking.

But she prayed in her heart that the man would stop asking. If he did, she wouldn't know how to explain it. It was indeed very strange to find meat buns in the middle of nowhere.

Xie Moyao saw that she was a little annoyed, but he didn't ask any more questions. Just as Ji Yunshu said, as long as she didn't have any ill intentions towards the people of the Prince's Mansion, that was fine.

The two had barely calmed down when the official's voice urging them to set off rang out again.

After tidying up, the group continued their journey. They had only gone a few steps when Ji Yunyao and Aunt Zhu, who were at the front of the group, suddenly turned around in confusion and looked around. Ji Yunyao looked puzzled.

"What's going on? I think I smell meat buns."

The people in the Prince's mansion kept their eyes down, silently making their way, and no one spoke.

Zhou Yanran scoffed from the side, looking at Ji Yunyao with disdain.

"You're probably so hungry for meat buns that you've gone mad. Your neck has shortened, and even the smell of your own poop seems delicious. Where would you find meat buns in this desolate wilderness?!"

Zhou Yanran and Ji Yunyao knew each other in the capital. She had always liked the eldest prince, but the eldest prince was often seen with Ji Yunyao, and Zhou Yanran had long harbored resentment towards Ji Yunyao.

Now that her own family has been implicated in the matter of the Minister's Mansion, Zhou Yanran now hates Ji Yunyao to the core.

This was the first time Ji Yunyao had been so openly insulted by Zhou Yanran. Back in the capital, Zhou Yanran's father's official rank was not as high as that of the Minister's family, and this woman would avoid her whenever she saw her. Now, however, even Tom, Dick, and Harry dared to challenge her.

Ji Yunyao disregarded her image and immediately rushed forward, slapping Zhou Yanran twice.

"You little slut, don't think that just because we're out of the capital, I can't deal with you. Let me tell you, the First Prince has always had his eye on me. Aren't you afraid that when the First Prince comes looking for me, I'll have him kill you?" Her face was sinister, and her tone was vicious, a far cry from her gentle and virtuous demeanor in the capital.

Zhou Yanran covered her face, looked at Ji Yunyao's fierce and menacing appearance, and finally said nothing. She gritted her teeth and turned to leave.

Ji Yunshu watched this good show leisurely from the side, and couldn't help but admire it in her heart:

Tsk tsk tsk, everyone says she's an arrogant and domineering person in the capital, but looking at her, Ji Yunyao seems to be even more so. She hides it so well. Look at the ferocity in her eyes, it's like she's about to kill Zhou Yanran on the spot.

This level of ruthlessness is truly astounding. There's a reason why this woman was able to survive in the original story and become the main female lead. The original author even went so far as to call it her ruthless and decisive actions.

This minor incident quickly passed. The officers at the front only glanced at the situation behind them, and as long as it didn't affect the progress of the procession, they generally didn't interfere.

In order to reach the next rest stop before dark, the pace of the journey was obviously faster than before. However, after walking for a short while, no matter how much the officials urged them, the group could no longer quicken their pace.

After a full day of hard travel, it was undoubtedly exhausting for these pampered people.

Even Ji Yunshu was covered in sweat at this moment. The weather was hot, and coupled with the fact that her current body was not as agile as it was in her previous life, carrying Xie Moyao was quite strenuous.

Noticing that she was starting to feel weak, Xie Moyao whispered:

"Put me down and let Shering carry me for a while."

Ji Yunshu glanced at the sky and shook her head. "No need. The team should be resting soon. I'll just carry you to the resting place."

Xie Mohuan and the old princess Ji Ren also tried to persuade them.

"Third Sister-in-law, please put Third Brother down. You've been carrying him all this way. Let Xie Lin carry him for a while, or let me do it! Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, and Father taught me martial arts since I was little, so I have some strength!"

The eldest sister-in-law, Li, clutched her stomach, sweat beading on her forehead and her lips pale, yet she couldn't help but show concern for Ji Yunshu.

"Yes, Third Sister-in-law, please put Third Brother down and let Xie Lin carry him for a while. If you continue like this, your body won't be able to take it."

She had been walking for so long with her big pregnant belly and was almost at her limit. Ji Yunshu was carrying Xie Moyao, who was so heavy, and they were about the same weight.

Ji Yunshu smiled, but seeing Li's expression, she felt somewhat worried.

"No need, I can still hold on. When I really can't hold it in anymore, I'll put it down."

She had her reasons for carrying Xie Moyao on her back. By being tied to Xie Moyao, the items in her spatial storage were constantly being unlocked. Although the process was slow, as long as she stayed with Xie Moyao long enough, it wouldn't be long before she could unlock all the resources in her space.

Moreover, now is a great opportunity for her to unlock resources. If she lets Xie Moyao, who is partially paralyzed, do whatever she wants, then once she heals his leg, he will probably disappear without a trace, and it will be difficult to get close to him again.

"Sister-in-law, are you alright? You don't look too well. Is the baby in your belly making you uncomfortable?"

She was busy all day and her attention was focused on Xie Moyao, so she forgot about her sister-in-law. Counting the time, her sister-in-law's due date is in the next few days. After traveling such a long distance today, she could clearly feel that her sister-in-law's expression was a little strange.

The original text states that the eldest sister-in-law later died along with her unborn child, but she didn't pay attention to the specifics of how she died.
