Behind him, the officials each held a big sword, scaring Xu Wei into not daring to hit Shen Qian. He pulled his leg and ran towards Xu Lizheng."Grandpa!"That look, he was so terrified that he wet his...“I was wrong, sir. I know I was wrong!”

Ronnie rolled on the ground until she admitted her mistake, only then did Ren Bong let her go.

Even so, blood was drawn from her body. Her father, Luohan Guo, was most likely a coward, not daring to say anything for his daughter.

Even seeing Ron groan and grit her teeth, he quietly moved away from her, putting some distance between them.

This scene sent a chill down Ronie's heart. No wonder her mother always did sneaky things; facing a man like this, she couldn't possibly support herself.

She got up silently, staggering as she packed her belongings. The performance ended abruptly, and the crowd gathered their things and continued on their journey.

Song Jiuyuan softly asked Jiang Wan, "Was she just looking for you"

"Yes."

Jiang Wan didn't want to hide it from them, and frankly said: "I have a bad temper, of course I have to warn them when I see them."

You did nothing wrong.

Song Jiubian looked at Jiang Wan with even more admiration in his eyes. Her style of doing things was quite similar to his.

But if it were him, he'd be crueler.

Everyone continued on their journey, having covered most of the way. Ginger pondered that the emperor wouldn't let them go so easily.

She was right. The emperor in the imperial study received the letter from Lao Chu and frowned deeply.

Below Chu Lao's letter was the Sixth Prince's letter. After reading it, the Emperor's brow furrowed even deeper.

"Father, your son might be able to ease your worries"

The eldest prince, who stood next, was already a middle-aged man. He was honest and kind, and the emperor liked him. But that didn't mean he thought he was capable of taking his place.

He tossed Chu Lao's letter to the eldest prince and asked, "Huang'er, what do you think of Chu Lao's advice"

The eldest prince was initially dumbfounded by the casual question. After reading the letter, he first beamed with joy and then fell into deep thought.

This is a hot potato!

Seeing his face change constantly, the emperor's expression darkened slightly. He frowned and said.

Just say what you think, don't be shy!

“As a son, I believe that if General Song Jiang can solve the smallpox outbreak, it would be a tremendous blessing.”

And the letter also mentioned preventive measures for measles, no wonder Lao Chu was so highly regarded.

But she is Song Jiubian's wife!

The emperor naturally knew that solving smallpox was a great thing, and even regretted giving ginger to Song Jiubian.

Now that the couple are as one, if he were to pardon Song Jiubian's crime, wouldn't it be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains

The Crown Prince naturally understood his father's worries, and he sighed, advising him:

"For Ke Chu to say this, if the Emperor did not show any reaction, it would seem unconvincing."

"I know."

The emperor, of course, knew all of this. That was the source of his frustration, which made it so hard for him to accept releasing them.

"Father."

The crown prince pondered for a moment and then suddenly suggested, "It's not entirely without a solution."

"Come on, tell me."

The emperor stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking pensive and listening attentively.

"Master Chu's letter was written to plead for mercy for Song Jiang, but that doesn't mean we should exonerate them of all charges."

"To bestow upon them that desolate land as their territory That too is a reward."

The crown prince also had a flash of inspiration, which surprised the emperor.

"You are right."

A smile appeared on the emperor's face. "The barren land is lifeless, and even if Song Jiubian were skilled, he couldn't possibly stir up anything."

"Father is right."

The eldest prince whispered in agreement, "Even if we restore his title of War King, he wouldn't be able to return to the capital."

From ancient times, those who possessed fiefdoms were forbidden to enter the capital without summons.

"Good job, boss!"

This was a rare occasion for the emperor to praise his son, and the crown prince's eyes welled with joy.

"The Emperor is wise!"

"Alright, you can go now."

The Emperor banished the eldest prince and excitedly wrote a letter back to Lao Chu, also drafting an imperial decree. He told the messenger:

"Don't worry, they're still going to the wilderness in the end anyway."

……

Jiang Wan didn't know that the Dog Emperor was playing tricks on them again. That night, she craved oysters and decided to teach Song Jiuli how to handle them.

And she continued to prepare some seasoning, and threaded some fish, prawns, potatoes, and vegetables.

Because she has been running around these two days, so other people don't know what supplies are left on the truck.

Ginger took the opportunity while under cover of the cart to pull out quite a few good things, even keeping some on the cart for later use.

"Tonight, let's have shrimp congee."

Ginger was excited and made a bunch of delicious food. She had Song Ji-chul gather firewood and directly roast it.

That fragrance wafted out, making everyone drool with anticipation, especially Song Yang who was facing it.

He was still a child, utterly unable to control his emotions. He wanted to rush in and grab it himself, but Song Sanniang stopped him again.

Unless she appeared before him, Ginger would of course not attack Chen's wife out of the blue. She served her a bowl of prawn porridge.

"Sister, have a drink."

Thank you.

Mrs. Chen did not hesitate, thinking in her heart that she must repay them in the future. Following them, both she and her child not only gained weight but also became much healthier.

Don't be shy.

Ginger ordered Chen Ce to help out as well. The couple worked hard and ate with contentment.

Ginger wouldn't stop them either. She had always known the principle of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." Even if she wanted to help them, it would be through subtle and unassuming assistance.

"Wow, that's delicious!"

Song Jiuli was once again conquered by Jiang Wan's cooking skills, her mouth chattering with praise for her.

Even Song Ji-che followed suit, and Song's mother glared at them with displeasure.

"You can't shut you all up, be quiet!"

"Okay."

Song Jiuli felt a tinge of regret and carefully glanced at Song Jiubian, "Brother, how do you find the taste"

"Whatever Wanwan makes is always excellent."

Song Jiu's voice remained flat, but his mouth was very honest, eating non-stop.

Jiang Wan also just realized he was still calling her WanWan. What's wrong with him

A woman's nickname shouldn't be called casually, we need to have a good talk about it later.

Thinking this, Ginger helped the others clear the dishes after dinner and whispered to Song Jiubian:

"You can still call me Ginger."

"Why"

Song Jiubian was stunned, not understanding her meaning. Wasn't their mother also calling her that

"I find that cringeworthy."

Ginger rubbed her arms, which were covered in goosebumps. "We're getting a divorce, you know," she said, "it's not appropriate for us to be this close. It'll be hard to explain to everyone later."

She had remained steadfast in her desire to leave, which made Song Jiubian feel deeply pained.

He thought... things between them... were different now.

It turns out she still insisted on leaving, was it because he had hurt her heart before

Song Jiubian's eyes drooped in disappointment, "Alright, I respect your decision."

"Hmm."

Jiang Wan's expression was serious, "Song Jiubian, I'm not the Jiang Wan who admired you before. Don't have any unrealistic fantasies about me in the future!"

What she said was harsh, making Song Jiubian's heart ache. He took a deep breath.

"I didn't think much about it."

That's good.

Ginger yawned and leaned against the wagon, falling asleep. She still had work to do tonight, so she needed to catch some shut-eye for now.

By the time she awoke, everyone else had fallen into a deep sleep. She was still covered in a coat.

Ginger casually draped herself over Song Big Sister beside her, then said to the little sprite:

"Little sprite, send me the location of the salt pool."it out wasn't a difficult thing. Ginger took two handfuls of dates and got some herbs to look the part."Good."Song Jiu'yuan obediently took a bite of the date. Though he didn't know if these things ac...
