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

The others didn't move. They didn't have much to pack; they were just one person, so they could leave as soon as they got into the carriage.

They had originally hoped that Ji Yunshu's chicken would be cheaper so they could buy some to try, but two taels of silver was now an astronomical price for them.

I can't afford it, I can't afford it, I really can't afford it.

Minister Ji and Aunt Zhu could no longer restrain themselves and turned their gazes to Ji Yunyao.

"Yun Yao, you need to think of something quickly. If this continues, your parents will starve to death." Minister Ji's weak voice reached Ji Yun Yao's ears.

Aunt Zhu opened her mouth, but she was too weak to speak because she had been injured earlier and had traveled too far to buy anything to nourish herself.

But her eyes were filled with tears as she stared at Ji Yunyao, clearly indicating that she agreed with Minister Ji's words: if they didn't eat soon, they would starve to death.

Ji Yunyao didn't know what to do. She had some silver, but not much. It was only enough to occasionally buy two pancakes to fill her stomach. A serving of chicken costing two taels of silver was also unaffordable for her.

"So annoying! What's the use of nagging me? You two should just hand over some silver. With silver, we won't go hungry! You two are really stupid. When we confiscated your property, you both had some silver on you. After all this time, I still have some money left, but you don't have a single penny! You deserve to go hungry!"

She gritted her teeth. She really couldn't wait any longer. She had to find a chance to contact the First Prince. She had something the First Prince wanted, and she was still useful to him. The First Prince wouldn't abandon her.

Thinking of this, her gaze swept over the officers and finally landed on Ah Cai.

Of all the officials, she found Ah Cai the most agreeable; at least he didn't fawn over Ji Yunshu like the other officials.

This was exactly what she wanted, so she slowly got up and walked towards Ah Cai.

Ah Cai was still angry, and looking at the bowl of chicken in front of him, he became even angrier.

Zhou Yanran leaned against him, patting his chest to help him catch his breath, but her eyes remained fixed on the bowl of chicken in front of her.

He swallowed the saliva in his mouth again and again.

"Sir, don't be angry. I told you long ago that Ji Yunshu is a shrew, fierce and petty. It's not worth getting angry with her, and it will only harm your health."

"Anyway, you're the official and she's the criminal along the way. If you really want to get back at her, you'll have plenty of opportunities. Don't worry about this short time. Sooner or later, you'll definitely get your revenge."

"By then, she'll be a woman, and you, sir, can do whatever you want with her. Sir, tell me, am I right?"

As soon as Ji Yunyao approached, she heard Zhou Yanran's disgusting voice and gave her a disdainful look.

What a despicable person! I never thought that she would stoop to such a low level just for a bowl of food!

They've really disgraced the noble ladies of the capital!

Ah Da was very pleased with these words and slapped Zhou Yanran on the butt.

"My little beauty, you really know how to talk. So, now that I've brought the chicken back for you, what about what you promised me...?"

As Ah Cai spoke, his hand moved toward Zhou Yanran's chest, a lewd smile playing on his lips.

In front of so many people, even though Zhou Yanran had already gone all out, she still felt a little embarrassed. Her smile froze on her lips, and a struggle flashed in her eyes, but then disappeared.

"Oh dear, sir, don't be in such a hurry. There are so many people here, they're scared. Besides, didn't your elder brother tell us to set off? Once we get to the village tonight, you can do whatever you want, Officer Guan!"

Ah Cai chuckled lewdly, then reluctantly stroked Zhou Yanran's chest a couple more times, making Zhou Yanran laugh out loud. The laughter was quite embarrassing for the people around them.

As the two were playfully teasing each other, they completely failed to notice Ji Yunyao, who had already come to their side. Hearing these unbearable words, Ji Yunyao could no longer tolerate it.

"This official is called Ah Cai, right? I need to speak with you privately for a few minutes."

She looked down at the two of them, and the sarcasm and disdain in her eyes deeply stung Zhou Yanran.

Zhou Yanran clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh, and his teeth almost broke.

Why is Ji Yunyao looking at her like that?!

Do they really think she's so noble? She's still a criminal; their exile is an undeniable fact, and Ji Yunyao will inevitably follow in her footsteps sooner or later.

Ah Cai stared at Ji Yunyao with wide eyes. Of course, he was also interested in Zhou Yanran, who had been offered to him, since he hadn't gotten his hands on her yet.

When Ah Cai saw Ji Yunyao, who was even more beautiful than Zhou Yanran, standing in front of him, his eyes widened in disbelief. What incredible luck he had!

These beautiful women kept sticking to him.

"Miss Ji, is there something you wish to tell me?"

As he spoke, he pushed Zhou Yanran, who was clinging to him, away.

Zhou Yanran had finally found someone who could solve her meal ticket problem, but now that she saw Ji Yunyao was going to call her meal ticket out separately, her heart was in her throat.

Is that bitch Ji Yunyao trying to steal my meal ticket?

She was pushed away and fell to the ground. Her hand scraped against the stones, and blood seeped out, but she seemed not to feel the pain. Seeing that Ah Cai and Ji Yunyao had already gotten up and walked to the side, Zhou Yanran bit her lip. The two of them were deliberately trying to avoid her, and they were definitely not going to do anything good for her. Since that was the case, she would eat her fill first.

With that thought in mind, she picked up the chicken in front of her and began to wolf it down.

After an incense stick had burned, the procession set off again.

Knowing they could rest in the village ahead that night, the group quickened their pace considerably.

After Ji Yunshu boarded the carriage, Xie Moyao had already fallen asleep inside. She didn't wake him, but leaned against the side and used her mind to enter her spatial dimension to check the supplies that had been unlocked that day.

After wandering around the space for a while, I still only unlocked one vehicle, a bicycle, and the armory was also not unlocked. Nothing else had changed.

Just as she was wondering what she had unlocked today, she noticed that the ground outside the villa, which had previously been gray, had turned somewhat red.

It was fresh soil, with some small weeds growing in it. Ji Yunshu excitedly ran out of the villa and rubbed her eyes.

God.

The land inside the space began to slowly unlock.

Although the area isn't very large, the fact that it's slowly being unlocked is a good sign!

Sooner or later, all the mountains and forests in this space will be unlocked.

With these mountains and forests, she could plant whatever she wanted.

When they arrive at their place of exile, they will eventually have to make a living with their own hands. They can't stay in her space forever, or take food out of her space; it's just too troublesome.
