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

For a time, the entire Anjia Village was incredibly lively.

This was the liveliest day in Anjia Village in many years, filled with laughter and chatter.

Everyone felt that life was getting better and better.

But in another courtyard.

Two pairs of eyes were fixed on Ji Yunshu and the other two.

These two people were none other than Consort Zhu and Minister Ji.

Seeing Ji Yunshu and the others living a more and more prosperous life, Minister Ji and Aunt Zhu felt extremely distressed.

The thought that Ji Yunshu and the others had first caught fish and now captured wild boars made me feel uneasy.

Minister Ji was almost driven mad with anger.

He gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at Aunt Zhu beside him.

"Foolish woman, what are you doing here? Can't you see they caught fish and pigs!"

What are you doing? Everyone else has gone fishing, what are you doing here!

"Master, this is not my fault. I went to borrow a pickaxe from Ji Yunshu before, and I even begged her in a very humble manner! But not only did she refuse to lend it to me, she also spoke very rudely to me."

They cursed me, and they cursed you too, sir! They just wouldn't lend me their pickaxe no matter what. Without a pickaxe, I can't break through that ice!

"That Ji Yunshu is really too much! She doesn't remember any of our kindness at all. We were raised on the food of our Minister's mansion, and she just stood by and watched us starve to death!"

Minister Ji was well aware of what Aunt Zhu had said, but he was powerless to do anything about Ji Yunshu.

"Foolish woman, what's the use of saying all this now? Other people's lives are getting better and better, as for you and me, we're lucky if we don't starve to death!"

I'm warning you, hurry up and think of a solution for me! Where is Ji Yunyao? Find Ji Yunyao for me! She's been missing for so many days, where the hell has she gone?!

Don't think I don't know, she's always been trying to curry favor with the First Prince to live a better life. She's been away from home for so many days, has she already managed to ingratiate herself with him?!

"Master, I don't know. I've been looking for Yao'er these past few days, but I haven't been able to find her. It seems she's not in Anjia Village!"

It's possible. Could she really have managed to sneak out of here and reunite with the First Prince?

Master, please be patient a little longer. Perhaps before long, Yao'er will plead with the First Prince to take us out of here!

Yao'er is a child we watched grow up; she would never become an ingrate like Ji Yunshu!

Yao'er will definitely remember our kindness in raising her. If she escapes her suffering, she will never forget us!

Aunt Zhu was saying this not only to Minister Ji, but also to herself.

Life was so hard; without any faith, she almost couldn't go on living.

And now, Ji Yunyao is her belief!

"You always say that, you always say that, but so much time has passed, where is that bitch Ji Yunyao now?"

There's not a single word from outside. Do you think I'm easy to fool?

I'm telling you, today, you either need to hurry up and find a way to get me some food!

If you can't find Ji Yunyao and can't get any food, I'll beat you to death today!

Watching everyone catching fish and processing pork, Minister Ji was completely driven to madness. His eyes were fixed on Aunt Zhu as if he wanted to kill her.

Aunt Zhu was so frightened that she shrank back and didn't dare to move. She could only nod repeatedly and say nothing more.

"Yes, yes, sir, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to get some food."

At the same time, I will also have someone help me find Yao'er's whereabouts. If I find out that she is really with the First Prince, I will definitely send her a message as soon as possible, asking her to plead with the First Prince to take us out of here.

If all else fails, at least bring us some money.

Aunt Zhu didn't even dare to hope that she would leave this place; she just wanted to have some money to keep herself safe.

In this place of exile, if you have money, you can barely make ends meet; but if you have no money at all, you really can't survive.

She gritted her teeth and stared at the group of people catching fish on the river.

These people are wicked. There are so many fish, yet they didn't even offer them any. They just left the two of them here watching. They're all bad guys!

They're all birds of a feather with Ji Yunshu.

It took Aunt Zhu a long time to calm her thoughts. After glancing at Ji Yunshu and her group again, her gaze finally settled on the direction of the village entrance, where the officials usually rested.

Aunt Zhu stared at that spot for a long time, and finally, it seemed she had made up her mind.

She sighed deeply. Since Ji Yunyao wasn't there, she could only rely on her.

She refused to believe that, with her abilities, she would actually starve to death in this place of exile!

Not far away, Ji Yunshu and the other two were still laughing happily. Through their joint efforts, all the hair on the wild boar's body had been scraped clean, revealing its white and clean skin.

Ji Yunshu pointed to the middle of the pig's belly and looked at Xie Lin.

"Take the knife and cut the pig's belly open from right in the middle, then take out all the internal organs."

Sherlin listened from the side, and following her instructions, picked up the knife in his hand, and with a swift, sharp motion, slid the knife down the middle of the pig's belly!

In an instant, the pig's belly was completely split open, and its internal organs were exposed to everyone.

Xiao Lan, who was standing nearby, quickly took a tool from the yard and placed it aside.

"Sherling, hurry up and put all these things from the pig's stomach here. I'll find somewhere to dispose of them..."

Sherin put down the knife, opened the pig's belly, and stuffed all the internal organs and intestines into the tool that Xiaolan had brought over.

The pig's stomach was still warm, and the red meat looked very appetizing.

Xiao Lan squatted down, picked up the thing containing the internal organs, and was about to find a place to dig a hole and bury it all.

Ji Yunshu, who was standing to the side, quickly stopped the person.

"Where are you taking all this? You're moving it home!"

Xiaolan opened her mouth, somewhat bewildered.

"Third Sister-in-law, this thing is all pig's stomach, it's a bit dirty, we never eat this in our family, and besides, it doesn't taste good."

In the past, when we lived in the Prince's mansion, everyone only ate pork. They never ate things like pig offal.

The housekeeper wouldn't buy them for the house either. Nowadays, they have plenty of food, so there's no need to keep these offal.

Ji Yunshu's lips twitched. It was true that they had enough to eat, but there was no need to throw away the pig's offal.

Pig offal is a good thing.

"Who says this stuff doesn't taste good? Let me tell you, if you cook it right, it's way tastier than pork!"

Xiaolan opened her mouth, looking helplessly at the others beside her.

"Second sister-in-law, eldest sister-in-law, third sister-in-law said they want to keep it? Why don't we keep it?"

Xiao Lan asked somewhat uncertainly, as they had indeed never eaten or processed pig offal.
