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

According to calculations, Song Nan should be the one to take charge of the Song family in this generation. Song Nan's abilities are not to be underestimated. In just a few years since he took over, he has brought the Song family business to a new level.

Moreover, the Song family has a family rule: they only do business and never touch power.

In other words, they only do business and don't get involved in matters of the imperial court.

No matter how turbulent the court was, they never interfered and always maintained a neutral stance, which is why they were able to grow stronger over the years.

This was what he had roughly learned before, and he was quite shocked when he first heard about it.

The Song family, though small, has such a huge influence.

If he had known he would run into Song Nan, he should have asked more questions. Moreover, for some reason, he always felt that Song Nan was deliberately getting close to Ji Yunshu.

Although it seems that he has no ill intentions towards Ji Yunshu at present.

But people's hearts are unpredictable. Who knows why he deliberately approached Ji Yunshu?

In an instant, Xie Moyao went through the matter in his mind, but he didn't say the rest.

He can handle some things on his own. His wife isn't stupid either; Ji Yunshu will also avoid things that Song Nan should avoid.

"Okay, then when we're free, let's send him a message in advance. I've already told him that we should take the two of us with us when we leave the city."

Xie Moyao paused for a moment, said nothing more, and simply responded softly.

"Okay, I understand. I'll send him the letter then."

As the two were talking, Xie Lin came over from his house carrying a pile of things. He walked right up to them and put the pile of fishing nets on the ground.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, these are all the fishing nets in the side room. I didn't know whether you wanted the large or small ones, nor did I know the sizes, so I brought them all."

"Take your pick and see. Keep the ones that suit you, and I'll return the rest."

Ji Yunshu nodded, squatted down, and carefully selected the fishing nets on the ground. The styles of these fishing nets were all ones that she had taught them to weave.

She knew exactly what each style did, and soon she picked out two identical ones from a pile of fishing nets.

The holes in the fishing net were still too small for crabs and crayfish to squeeze through. She took two fishing nets and handed one of them to Xie Moyao.

"Here, take this fishing net. You and Xie Lin, pull up the net and cover one fishpond. Xiao Lan and I will take care of the other side."

Let's divide the work, finish it early, and rest early.

It was really too cold. She and Xie Moyao had just stood in the snow for a while, and their shoes and socks were wet. Their feet were a little frozen now.

I don't know how the other people can stand staying here all night.

Xie Moyao didn't hesitate. He took the fishing net from Ji Yunshu and went to the riverbank with Xie Lin. They opened the net and quickly hung it on the bamboo poles around the river.

The fishing nets are just enough to cover all the fishponds in the river.

Not long after they finished, Ji Yunshu and Xiao Lan also finished covering it up.

The two clapped their hands, and Ji Yunshu looked at their work with satisfaction. Now, both fish ponds were built, and the crayfish and crabs could grow freely in their respective ponds.

The space is large, and she can't climb out from above, so she doesn't need to worry too much.

The fishing net she used before had slightly larger holes. It was fine for the crayfish and crabs to stay temporarily, but in a few days, she would have to take out the finest fishing net from her space.

Otherwise, after the crayfish and crabs lay their eggs, the holes in the fishing net will be too big, and the baby crabs will all crawl out.

Take out the finest net, and you can catch all the crayfish larvae and crab larvae in the fishing net.

That would truly eliminate any worries.

We can keep these two fishing nets for now; they're of good quality and should last for several years.

"Alright, stop looking. It's all done. Let's go back now. The snow is getting heavier, and everyone's shoes are all wet."

"Go back and change your shoes and socks first, otherwise you won't be able to stand this weather," Xie Moyao urged.

As they spoke, they had already arrived at the large basin.

The once empty basin is now teeming with fish.

Ji Yunshu nodded, picked up the remaining fishing net from the ground, hugged it to her chest, and pulled Xiaolan away.

She was somewhat self-aware; neither she nor Xiaolan could lift that basin of fish, so Xie Moyao and Xie Lin had to do it.

Xie Lin was also very self-aware. Before Xie Moyao and Ji Yunshu could speak, he had already come to the opposite side of Xie Moyao, squatted down, and together with Xie Moyao, lifted the basin of fish.

The basin was overflowing with fish, weighing at least several hundred pounds.

The two gritted their teeth and used all their strength to carry the load home with Xie Moyao.

If they hadn't always eaten well and maintained good physical strength, lifting this bowl of fish would have been very difficult.

Sherlin gritted his teeth the whole time, not daring to relax for a moment, for fear that if he relaxed, the whole bowl of fish in his hands would fall to the ground.

Fortunately, the fishpond wasn't far from their home, and soon the two of them had carried a large basin of fish into the yard.

Ji Yunshu went to the kitchen, took out several large wooden basins from her space, put some spiritual spring water in each basin, and then called Xiaolan to scoop some of the fish from the basins in the yard into other basins.

Xiao Lan and Xie Lin worked quickly, and soon they took out nets and divided the fish in the basin into several other basins.

In an instant, the individually packaged fish jumped and thrashed about as if they had been given freedom.

Ji Yunshu stood in front of several wooden basins and filled each one with spiritual spring water.

With the blessing of the spiritual spring water, and enough space for the fish to swim, getting through the night shouldn't be a problem.

After confirming that the fish were alright, Ji Yunshu didn't bother with them anymore and returned to the main room. It was chilly outside, but the main room was warm and cozy.

The air smelled of firewood.

When Ji Yunshu and Xie Moyao returned to the main room, Li Shi and Chen Shi were gathered around the small dumplings.

There was a large fire burning in the house, but the little dumpling was dressed rather thickly, and his movements were obviously a bit clumsy. When he saw Ji Yunshu coming over, the little dumpling had a rosy face and looked at Ji Yunshu with teary eyes, and kept trying to burrow into Ji Yunshu's arms.

Ji Yunshu took the child, who stretched out his head and kept rubbing against Ji Yunshu's neck, making babbling noises and pointing at the fire in front of him, as if complaining that the fire was burning his face.

Ji Yunshu was both amused and exasperated. She reached out and pinched the little dumpling's cheek, asking him softly.

"Is this fire uncomfortable to be heated?"
