power, but suddenly he was stopped by Jiang Wan's small hand. She lightly scratched his palm.It was like feathers brushing against the skin, ticklish and intentional.Song Jiubian only then reacted, s...Mentioning this, everyone's eyes sank slightly. Song Jiubian coldly ordered:

"From now on, we need to be more careful."

If one attempt wasn't successful, those people will surely find another opportunity.

"Well, at least we're having a private meal now. That way, we can be sure the food going into our mouths is clean."

Song Nizi's eyes were tinged with a hint of melancholy. Everyone fell silent for a moment. At this time, Ren Bang, who had been leading the way, slowed his pace and came to Jiang Wan's side.

"Song, lady, did you two not achieve anything"

There was a probing tone in his voice, as if he wanted to know what had happened to her and Song Jiubian during the missing night.

Jiang Wan deliberately pulled her lips into a bitter grimace, "Those people have been relentlessly pursuing my husband and me."

"Luckily, we both had good fortune. When we fell off the cliff, there was a pool of water below, so we weren't injured."

"Do you know who those people in black chasing after you are"

Ren Bang frowned, a bad feeling creeping into his heart. He had a sense that the journey ahead might be fraught with danger.

"I don't know."

Ginger shook her head, her face pale and expressionless. "I never saw them again after I fell."

"Well, take care of yourself."

Ren Bang sighed, ultimately saying nothing. He was just a small official and couldn't do anything about it.

Only after everyone else had left did Song Jiuli sneer, "Is he worried we'll drag him down"

Maybe.

Song Niangzi clutched the bundle in her hand and spoke softly, "People are afraid of death, even if this is true, it's only natural."

No matter what he's thinking, as long as he can take care of us a little bit.

This is what Ginger was thinking. She didn't really care who Ren Bang was, as long as she could achieve her goals.

Actually, Ren Bang is doing alright. He mostly knows that those in black are targeting Song Jiubian, and besides, people from the Old Song family have been whispering in other people's ears.

Now, besides the Chen family, everyone else keeps their distance from them, afraid of being implicated.

Even from a distance, Ginger could hear Song Erniang and those people spitting angrily at each other.

"Didn't you see They rushed straight at Song Jiubian that day, I was so scared, my legs went weak."

"That's right, luckily I'm far away, swords and blades don't have eyes."

“……”

Song Jiubian's face darkened, his deep and dark eyes flickered with coldness, Jiang Wan softly soothed him.

Let's walk our own path and not mind what others think.

Perhaps Song Ernu herself hadn't realized it, she was gradually becoming the kind of country gossip she despised.

"Hmm."

Song Jiubian averted his gaze, choosing to simply ignore it. The atmosphere grew heavy with silence, and no one spoke.

And Ginger was constantly grinding up unfamiliar herbs along the way, and everyone tacitly decided not to bother her.

Having collected so many medicinal herbs, ginger wouldn't go to waste. She was carrying a sack she had traded for at the inn, and it was filled with herbs.

The journey ahead won't be peaceful. Besides things for self-defense, she also needs to get some life-saving gear.

"Sister-in-law, do you need any help"

Without Ginger's instructions, Song Jiuli became idle and stared expectantly as Ginger assigned tasks.

"If you can't handle these things, I'll do it myself. Just remember to make lunch later."

Ginger was afraid that Song Jiuli would poison her to death. All she had in her hands was a simple tool, the very one she found in the village at the beginning.

It's hard for people to imagine what kind of miraculous things she could create with such simple tools.

Fortunately, Song Jiuli was well-trained by Jiang Wan. The midday meal was prepared together by her and Mrs. Song.

And Song Ji-che ran off to gather a lot of firewood. When the meal was ready, Jiang Wan had just finished making the medicine pills.

"Sister-in-law, eat quickly."

Song Jiuli first served Ginger a bowl of vegetable congee. This girl's culinary skills have improved now, even simple things can be done well.

"Not bad."

Ginger ate quickly and then continued to fiddle with the thing in her hands. Song Jiubian's curious gaze fell on her white fingertips.

Finally, the silence ate her food and took another sip of the water she had prepared. It was sweet.

Song Jiubian couldn't help but think, with her here, this journey of exile didn't seem so difficult after all.

Some people, wherever they go, are a disaster magnet.

Song Erniang muttered softly in her mouth, her eyes occasionally falling on Jiang Wan and Song Jiubian.

Shen Qian's departure meant nothing to their family. Song Chen had probably already forgotten about his wife and concubines, let alone feeling any sadness.

She’s so sassy!

Song Jiuli curled her lips and looked at Jiang Wan, "Big sister-in-law, can I fight back"

Even though you get scolded, I'll support you.

Ginger remained nonchalant, continuing her task without looking up. After hearing her words, Song Jiuli confidently stood up.

"Old Second Song, can you control your wife She's always spitting out nonsense and it's driving everyone crazy!"

Ginger: !!!

She looked up in shock, never expecting Song Jiuli's painting style to change so drastically.

The once delicate and gentle young lady is now fierce, arrogant, and loud.

Song Lao'er seemed not to have expected Song Jiuli to be so insulting, glaring angrily at Song Erniang.

"Right now, we're barely hanging on ourselves. What good is your chatter"

"What are you doing I can't stand to see you two getting along so well!"

Song Erniang glanced at Song Daniu's wife, that glance carrying a mixture of meanings too obvious to ignore.

Song Dajian's hands were shaking with anger, "What do you mean Spit it out clearly!"

She suddenly stood up, as if ready to pounce on Song Lao'er's wife any minute.

Ren Bang glanced faintly at the commotion in the distance, ignoring it. His heart was complex at this moment, too preoccupied to care about these trivial matters.

Song Er-nü glanced at Song Da-nü, "Did I say anything wrong Before you married your elder brother, didn't you have anything to do with my younger brother"

"It's nothing!"

Song Dajie's eyes went dark with anger. This damned woman clearly intended to ruin her reputation.

Ginger hastily put down the medicinal herbs in her hands to help her up. Song Jiuli scolded Song Erniang like she was protecting her cub.

"You dare slander my mother My mother and father are truly in love, she has never wronged my father!"

"Go ahead, say it again."

Song Jiuchil clutched a large stone in his hand, his eyes bloodshot, while Song Jiu yuan beside him stared coldly at her.

Song Erniang was so scared that her body trembled. She was just being spiteful, forgetting the pain after the injury healed. She clearly couldn't get over them, but she always wanted to make Song Daniuzi's life difficult.

When it came time to actually do it, Song Erniang chickened out again.

"I killed you, I killed you, you pay me three sons!"

Suddenly, Old Madam Song, who had been sitting there in a daze, went crazy and rushed towards Jiang Wan and the others.

She had a vacant stare, mumbling to herself, her hair a mess, looking like a lunatic.

Since she went crazy, the two daughters-in-law haven't had Song Da Niangzi's patience and haven't taken care of her much.

She stumbled toward Jiang Wan and Song Daniu, her sharp nails slashing viciously at Jiang Wan's face.

This was clearly an attempt to disfigure her. Jiang Wan's eyes turned cold, but she didn't care if the woman was old or not; she directly kicked her away.Song didn't want any of them to go, after all, it was smallpox.Throughout history, no one has been able to escape the ceiling."Mother."Song Jiubian lightly caressed his fingertip, his voice soft. "Fol...
