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

"My goodness, it really is a vegetable seedling! In the dead of winter, Madam Ji actually managed to grow it! It's amazing!"

As Zhang Cuihua spoke, her eyes greedily gazed at the lush green vegetable seedlings in the greenhouse, something she hadn't seen in a long time.

Each one is full of vitality.

Seeing his appearance, the others were also surprised and rushed towards the greenhouse. One of them patted Zhang Cuihua's husband on the shoulder and said urgently,

"Move aside, move aside! Let me see if it's real or fake. Look at you, you must be mistaken too!"

"Yes, yes, I want to see too! I want to see too! It's probably getting dark, and your eyesight isn't good enough. You can't even tell the seedlings from the grass!"

Hearing the doubts of the people around her, Ji Yunshu did not explain much. Seeing is believing. Zhang Cui's husband had seen his vegetable seedlings with his own eyes, so it wouldn't hurt for others to take a look.

Let these people see the seedlings in her greenhouse with their own eyes, and see if they still say they're mistaken.

Zhang Cuihua's husband was engrossed in watching when someone suddenly pulled her off, leaving him quite envious.

"Look, look, look! Look again, it's not fake. The greenhouse is really full of densely packed vegetable seedlings, growing very well. Judging from the appearance, they should grow very big. It's completely different from the half-dead ones we used to grow."

The vegetable leaves were so green and lush! Ah, I haven't seen these kinds of seedlings in ages!

Amidst the sighs of Zhang Cuihua's husband, the crowd unconsciously gathered around the greenhouse one after another.

To get a clear view of what's inside, people would occasionally lift up a corner of the greenhouse to try and see what was happening inside.

Ji Yun Chu felt a bit of a headache when she saw this. They were just some vegetable seedlings, why were some people so curious about them?

They even opened up her greenhouse, and she quickly gave them instructions.

"Well, my greenhouse is for insulation. These oils have been exposed to wind and snow for two days and are very fragile now. You have to be careful when you open them, and then quickly cover them up for me after you've checked them."

The cold wind is affecting the temperature inside; if it's too low, it will affect the growth of my seedlings.

As soon as Ji Yunshu finished speaking, the villagers who were observing the greenhouse from all sides nodded subconsciously.

"Don't worry, Madam Ji, we're just taking a look. We'll restore it to its original state after we've done so."

"Yes, Madam Ji, we're just curious. We've tried growing vegetable seedlings before, but none of them survived. We really want to see what the seedlings in your greenhouse look like."

"Yes, Madam Ji, don't worry, we'll restore it to its original state after we've seen it."

As everyone looked towards the gate, a chorus of surprised exclamations arose from the surrounding area.

"Good heavens, it actually grew! It's even taller than the ones we planted last time!"

"They're not just taller, look at the leaves of those seedlings, they're all lush and green, full of vitality, and growing very well."

Based on my many years of experience doing farm work, these seedlings will definitely grow big!

"Yes, it's completely different from the sickly ones we planted before. It's all lush and green. How did Ryoko manage to plant this one this season?"

How can you be so capable?

She can fish and farm; is she really a lady from a prominent family in the capital? I heard she used to be a princess. Did the princess do these kinds of farm work back in her household?

"I don't know, but don't be too sure. It's only just begun. Winter is still long, and the Northwest has only just entered winter. It's not very late yet."

When it really gets cold, these seedlings may not even grow big!

You've forgotten, when we first sowed the seedlings, they grew very well, lush and green, but after a few days, they looked like they were sick.

No matter how much we watered them, they just wouldn't grow, and eventually they all died. The princess's vegetable plant is just starting out; whether it will survive depends on what happens in the days to come.

Everyone chatted amongst themselves; the women had all gone home to cook, leaving only the men behind.

Men's speech is generally a little more pleasant than women's; they don't have that sharp tongue or jealousy.

Seeing that everyone had seen enough, Ji Yunshu quickly called them over.

"I've looked at it enough. Could you please tell me how to open it and how to close it to prevent cold air from blowing in?"

Everyone nodded, not daring to look any longer. They put the oil paper back in its original position and, imitating Ji Yunshu's actions, pressed the oil paper tightly with small stones and mud around it.

Although the seedlings were not grown by them, but by Ji Yunshu in this place of exile, no one in their place of exile had ever grown seedlings before.

If Ji Yunshu really succeeded in growing these seedlings, it might not be a bad thing for their Anjia Village.

The group gathered together, chatting and laughing, vaguely filled with hope for the future.

The atmosphere was no longer as lifeless as before. Ji Yunshu saw all this but didn't say anything.

She had said that after she arrived in Anjia Village, life wouldn't be as lifeless as before.

She hopes that under her leadership, her family can live a good life. Similarly, she hopes that other villagers in Anjia Village will also work hard to make their hometown better and better.

Just then, a group of people drove a horse-drawn carriage towards them from the village entrance.

"Frame, frame!"

The man at the head of the group sat outside the carriage, dressed in the uniform of a guard.

Not long after.

The carriage stopped in the middle of the road, not far from Ji Yunshu's house. When Ji Yunshu saw this, her heart skipped a beat.

Xie Moyao is not home right now. Could it be that someone got the news and came to check on him?

The other villagers around, unaware of what was going on, looked in the direction Ji Yunshu was looking and followed her gaze. They saw the carriage stopped in the middle of the road, and someone in the crowd spoke in a low voice.

"Madam Ji, could that person be someone who came to your house?"

"Yes, Madam Ji, we've lived here for many years, and hardly anyone comes looking for us anymore."

Judging from their appearance, they seem to be here to see you. Do you want to go check on them? Don't worry, we won't touch your seedlings anymore. We've covered up all the areas we checked to ensure no cold wind gets in.

Previously, everyone thought Ji Yunshu was difficult to get along with, but now that they know her good qualities, they have gradually become familiar with her.

Ji Yunshu smiled and didn't rush over. She knew very well that regardless of whether these people were looking for her or not, she didn't want them to show up.

"No rush. It might not be looking for us; it could be someone else. Let's see how things go first."

It's not just that it's very likely they'll find someone else; it's that they'll definitely find someone else!

She only knew Song Nan in Liancheng, and because of the special status of her family, Song Nan wouldn't make a big fuss about coming to see her.
