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

If they wanted to eat pork, they had to ask the officials to help them buy it, and the officials would ask them for a kickback every time they bought it.

The little bit of profit they gave to the officials was more expensive than the pork they bought!

Seeing how much the two of them treasured the pork, Ji Yunshu regretted not bringing more.

But she knew about Aunt Wang and Wang Rong's family's circumstances, and she was afraid that if she brought too much, other families would be eyeing her.

If someone were to break in and steal things while they were asleep at night, there would be no surveillance cameras in ancient times, and once the things were stolen, they would be gone forever.

After Wang Rong brought the meat and put it away, and returned to the main room, the three of them sat around the fire, and Ji Yunshu reached out to smother the fire in front of her.

After confirming that no one else was around, she turned to Aunt Wang and said solemnly,

"Aunt Wang, there's another thing I've come to tell you."

After I inquired about Wang Zheng's whereabouts last time, my husband recently found him near Liancheng.

"What? You found my boss? Is he alright? Where is he now? Why didn't he come back with you?"

Upon hearing that Wang Zheng had been found, Aunt Wang was so excited that she jumped up from her chair.

Wang Zheng, her eldest son, she hadn't heard from him for a long time. She had been suffering greatly these days, hoping to reunite with Wang Zheng as soon as possible.

Now that the moment has finally arrived, she's a little nervous.

Most importantly, Wang Zheng did not come back with Ji Yunshu, which made her worry that something might have happened to him.

"Madam Ji, you really found my elder brother! Where is he now? Did you tell him our location? Is he alright? Where has he been these past few days?"

Seeing how excited the two were, Ji Yunshu smiled and patiently explained.

"Don't worry or be nervous. Wang Zheng is in a very safe place now. It's just that when we found him, there was an accident. He fell off a cliff and injured his leg."

Don't worry, I've already treated him. As long as he takes good care of himself, he should recover completely.

Aunt Wang and Wang Rong were initially filled with worry, but after hearing Ji Yunshu's next words, they breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Ji Yunshu actually said that Wang Zheng didn't have any major problems, so it seems there shouldn't be any problems.

But where is Wang Zheng now?

"Yun Shu, where is my eldest son now? Where is he recuperating? Can we go see him?"

Meeting Aunt Wang's gaze, Ji Yunshu thought of what happened in the space, and after a moment's thought, shook her head.

"Not yet. He's recovering in a very safe place, so don't worry."

His injury should be almost healed in less than a month, and then I'll arrange for you to meet.

To be honest, he was injured this time because he was being chased by the First Prince and the Second Prince's men.

The First Prince and the Second Prince's men are currently searching everywhere for Wang Zheng's whereabouts. I can guarantee with my life that no matter who comes to the place where Wang Zheng is recuperating, they will not be able to find him!

Only Xie Moyao and I knew this.

Therefore, the eldest prince and the second prince will absolutely not be able to find him.

When you are at home, do not show any unusual behavior.

"The First Prince and the Second Prince are all around here with their spies. If you do anything unusual and they notice, you and Wang Rong will be in danger. Aunt Wang, do you understand what I mean?"

Aunt Wang wiped away her tears and nodded hurriedly.

"I understand, I understand, I've written down everything you said."

Don't worry, we won't show anything unusual in front of outsiders. Tomorrow, the second son will still go to work as usual, and I will still stay at home and do housework as usual.

As long as my eldest son is alright, I'm relieved. He's in the place you arranged, so he's definitely safe.

Sooner or later, we will meet again; I'm not in a hurry.

Seeing that Aunt Wang was reasonable, Ji Yunshu nodded with satisfaction.

She understood Aunt Wang's anxiety; after all, it was her son whom she hadn't seen for so long, so it was understandable that she was worried about him.

But after she said a few words, Aunt Wang was able to calm down.

It's clear that he was genuinely worried that his unusual behavior would implicate Wang Zheng and the others.

That would only create more trouble for no reason.

Wang Rong, who had been sitting to the side, also wiped away his tears. Wang Zheng was his older brother, and they had grown up together since childhood. Since Wang Zheng went to the army, they had rarely been in contact, let alone met.

"Madam Ji, next time you visit my brother, please tell him that we will wait for him to come home."

I told him not to worry about home, that I would take care of his mother, and that I had taken good care of her while he was away.

Let him recover in peace, and when he returns, our family will be reunited.

Ji Yunshu nodded.

"Okay, don't worry, I will pass these words on to Wang Zheng. He knows you are safe and sound, so you don't need to worry about each other anymore."

I'll arrange for you to meet sometime.

"Okay, okay, we'll listen to you. We'll follow your arrangements. You and Moyao have worked so hard these past few days, worrying so much about our family."

Aunt Wang wiped away her tears. She wondered what good fortune her family had accumulated in their past life that Wang Zheng had met such a wonderful person as Xie Moyao in this life.

If Wang Zheng had been following the First Prince or the Second Prince, he would probably be dead by now.

Ji Yunshu shook her head and didn't say anything more. The meat had been delivered, and the matter was settled. She was ready to go back.

"It's alright. From now on, we're family. We can discuss anything we need. If you need our help, Aunt Wang, please don't hesitate to ask. We'll help you if we can."

My husband and I will do our best to help you.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Ji Yunshu got up and left the main room.

Aunt Wang and Wang Rong followed behind her. Aunt Wang hurriedly said:

"Yunshu, would you like to sit down for a while before you leave? It's very cold outside. Why don't you warm yourself by the fire for a bit? When you came over just now, my hands were frozen when I touched them."

It must have been when the wind and snow blew on my hands while I was lifting the meat that my hands became stiff.

Aunt Wang knew this in her heart, and that's why she was even more grateful to Ji Yunshu for bringing them meat so late at night.

"No need, Aunt Wang, I'm going back now. I have some other things to do at home, so I'll go back early so I can get some rest. Someone else is coming to visit early tomorrow morning."

As Ji Yunshu chatted and laughed, she had already left Aunt Wang's courtyard.

There were only her footprints on the road.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Aunt Wang and Wang Rong did not try to keep her any longer.

"In that case, be careful on your way back. Do you want my second son to walk you home? It's late at night, it's not safe for you to walk alone."
