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

Ji Yunshu was racking her brains trying to figure out what formula to get for the little one when she noticed Xie Moyao's gaze. Confused, she followed his gaze to her chest.

Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, her face flushed slightly, she glared at Xie Moyao, and slapped him on the back of the head.

"Look, look, what are you looking at! What are you thinking? I brought this little guy over to get him some milk, what are you thinking!"

Even with Ji Yunshu's thick skin, she stammered a little at this moment.

Xie Moyao, how could a woman who has never even given birth possibly have breast milk?!

Is his brain filled with mush?!

Xie Moyao coughed lightly, unconsciously averting his gaze. He realized he had misunderstood, and his face flushed red instantly. Forgetting about Ji Yunshu slapping him, he muttered,

"Then, then, what, where did you get the milk from?"

He almost bit his tongue, his face turning as red as a monkey's bottom, the redness extending all the way to the back of his ears.

His head was lowered, and Ji Yunshu could not see his expression.

Normally, Ji Yunshu would definitely tease Xie Moyao a bit, but now there's a little guy crying incessantly next to her, giving her a headache.

She turned around and started rummaging through a pile of junk again.

"When the owner of Haitang delivered the things before, I think she mentioned that there was some milk in them, I think it was called milk powder, which can be given to newborns. Right now, my sister-in-law doesn't have breast milk, so she can only make do with milk powder for the time being."

As she spoke, she pulled out a can of milk powder and a baby bottle from a pile of miscellaneous items.

She placed the formula and bottle directly on the table inside the carriage. At this moment, she didn't care whether Xie Moyao would suspect anything; the most important thing was that the baby was full.

Ji Yunshu pretended to pick up the milk powder and study how to prepare it.

"Haitang said that this formula contains a lot of nutrients, and it is the most nutritious food for newborns besides breast milk."

Ji Yunshu used a lot of technical terms, regardless of whether Xie Moyao understood them or not. Anyway, Xie Moyao was paralyzed on one side and couldn't possibly go to the owner of Haitang to verify them.

After saying that, without waiting for Xie Moyao to speak, she took the baby bottle and got off the carriage. Not long after, she brought back some hot water from outside and, following the instructions on the formula, scooped the formula into the baby bottle spoonful by spoonful.

Then I put the lid on, shook it gently, tested the temperature, and only after confirming that the water was not too hot did I put the nipple into the baby's mouth.

In an instant, the baby, who had been crying with his mouth open and his voice almost hoarse, quieted down. He closed his eyes, grabbed at things with his hands, and sucked on the milk powder little by little. The carriage gradually quieted down as well.

This was Ji Yunshu's first time taking care of a baby, and she was a little flustered.

While the baby was nursing, she turned her back and pretended to rummage through a corner, but actually took out a bag of diapers, a few changes of clothes for the newborn, and two thin blankets from her spatial storage.

She had prepared these things long before.

Before Li gave birth, she had nothing to do, so she went into her spatial storage and collected all these things, so she could take them out whenever she needed them, which was convenient and easy.

The newborn baby didn't eat much and was full after only a few bites. He then drifted off to sleep again. Ji Yunshu was worried that she would wake him up again, so she quickly started changing his diaper.

She had never done these things in her previous life, but she had seen them on TV. Now, she could only search her memories and slowly learn to change the baby's diapers.

After the diaper was changed, the little one fell asleep peacefully.

The little face was all wrinkled and didn't look very cute yet. Ji Yunshu couldn't help but reach out and poke the little guy's cheek. In another month, this little face should become chubby and cute.

Xie Moyao was momentarily dazed as he watched Ji Yunshu play with the baby. Was this really the same person who had just killed more than a dozen wolves outside the carriage?

Unaware of his gaze, Ji Yunshu picked up the sleeping baby, got off the carriage, and delivered the baby to Granny Li and the old princess.

Li was still asleep, so Ji Yunshu didn't disturb her. She turned around, got off the carriage, and went to Xie Lin and the others. The wolf meat had been almost completely processed.

Xie Mohuan picked out a few of the best pieces, washed them thoroughly, and set them aside to eat later. She and Xie Lin didn't know what to do with the rest of the meat.

"Third Sister-in-law, what about the rest of the mutton? In this weather, it probably won't keep for long before it spoils."

She looked at the pile of wolf meat in front of her with a regretful expression. It would be such a waste if it spoiled because of the weather, after all the effort she had put into processing it.

Ji Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, I have a way. We'll turn all this wolf meat into smoked meat. Smoked meat keeps longer and won't spoil even in hot weather. Besides, we definitely can't eat all this meat. When we get to the next town, we'll sell it and get some money to carry with us."

She has so much money in her storage space, she needs to find a suitable reason to take it out and use it, she doesn't want to wrong herself.

Xie Mohuan and the others were completely bewildered. Smoked meat?

This was the first time they had ever heard of such a thing. Isn't meat always fresh? How can you eat it after it's been smoked?

Ji Yunshu could tell from their expressions that they had never eaten cured meat before. Indeed, they had lived a life of luxury in the Prince's mansion, so why would they have ever eaten meat that had been smoked?

She rolled up her sleeves, retrieved her old dagger, chopped a few branches about the size of her arm, and set up a makeshift place to smoke meat.

Once it was set up, she pointed to the hooks on it and instructed Xie Lin.

"I still have some salt in my carriage. Go and get it. Salt all the rest of the wolf meat, and then hang the salted meat on these hooks. The smoked meat, combined with salt, will have a long shelf life and won't spoil. It will also taste very good."

Xie Lin and Xie Mohuan nodded and, with Xiao Lan in tow, began to follow Ji Yunshu's instructions step by step.

They now have complete faith in Ji Yunshu's words.

Everyone else was terrified by the wolves tonight. When they first saw Ji Yunshu and her group collecting wolf meat, intending to process it and eat it, their faces were full of disdain and disgust.

But as time went by, they grew increasingly hungry, their stomachs rumbling as they smelled the smoked meat in the air, drool dripping from their mouths, and their eyes fixed intently on the smoked meat.

Unexpectedly, those wolves, which looked terrifying and fierce, tasted so delicious when their meat was cooked. I don't know how Ji Yunshu came up with this method.

Wasn't she just a good-for-nothing who stayed in the capital all along?

How did they know these survival skills?
