Aunt Zhou and Old Lady Li had just arrived when they heard Qu Huaiyuan hitting someone with a ruler.

Seeing the child crying so heartbreakingly makes my heart burn like fire.

After Qu Huaiyuan finished punishing them, he made Gou Dan and the others go back and copy the Three Character Classic five times.

He had noticed the commotion outside long ago, and calmly gathered his textbooks before coming out.

Aunt Zhou asked first, "Mr. Qu, what mistake did Gou Dan and the others make?"

Qu Huaiyuan looked around at the women with different expressions, and finally fixed his gaze on Zhen Wanwan.

He explained somewhat awkwardly, "My intention today was to give them a test, but these naughty kids actually cheated..."

Upon hearing this, anger appeared on everyone's faces.

They were initially so fond of their own children, but now they all wish they could grab them and beat them up!

Next, each family took their child home, and then the child was severely beaten by their own parents.

Outside the school, only Zhen Wanwan and Qu Huaiyuan remained, their eyes locked.

Thinking of the solemn promise he had made to Zhen Wanwan, Qu Huaiyuan felt his cheeks burn and his ears turn red.

Unaware of his embarrassment, Zhen Wanwan patted his shoulder and comforted him, "The child is still young. He only knows that he will be scolded if he fails the test, so he did this!"

"Brother Qu, teach them well. I believe that after they eat this, they won't do anything bad in the future."

Qu Huaiyuan gave a muffled "hmm," and looking at Zhen Wanwan's worried expression, asked with puzzlement, "Is something on your mind?"

He hadn't seen her smile for several days.

"Thinking that we'll be arriving in Anqing Prefecture in three days, I feel a little lost..."

With a faint smile, Zhen Wanwan said casually, "Once we get there, everyone will have a place to settle down and won't have to wander around anymore."

Ever since she traveled back in time, she had been fleeing famine. At that time, she was heavily pregnant and had not enough to eat or wear. Even riding in a donkey cart was a luxury.

Now that this kind of life is about to end, she feels uneasy.

In particular, she had a strange expectation for Anqing Prefecture deep in her heart, and... she didn't know how to face that person!

Feng He received another secret letter yesterday, saying that the person would come to pick them up.

Qu Huaiyuan was also touched by her words and discovered many things along the way.

Although he encountered dangers and difficulties at every turn, he was fortunate to escape unscathed, and now he is looking forward to settling down.

Although he currently has no hope of passing the imperial examinations, he believes that as long as he serves Lord Feng well, his future will definitely get better and better.

Although my mother's health has improved a little, the damage to her body can no longer be made up for.

He needed to hurry and find a job for himself, not only for his mother, but also for…

In order to protect Zhenniangzi and her two children in the future.

There are some questions he hasn't asked her yet, and he doesn't know if she would be willing.

Looking at Zhen Wanwan's clean and pretty face, Qu Huaiyuan opened his mouth, but then swallowed it back.

Let's wait a little longer!

He would bring up the matter again after things had stabilized in Anqing Prefecture.

As the sun set, two days passed in a row.

Tonight is their last night on the ship, and Old Lady Li and Granny Zhang have already started packing their things.

We'll just wait until we dock tomorrow to move our things off the shore.

Zhen Fugui pushed open her door and asked Zhen Wanwan, "Little sister, all your wine has fermented. Are you moving it all out tomorrow?"

Zhen Wanwan nodded: "Yes! Brother, is there any room left for all this wine? If not, leave some for Lord Feng!"

If there's too much left over, she'll just put it into her spatial storage and leave a few jars for Feng He.

Everyone is sleepless tonight, filled with both anticipation and trepidation for tomorrow.

Grandma Li tossed and turned in bed, keeping Grandpa Zhen awake as well.

"Old woman, you should go to sleep!" Old Master Zhen sighed and advised.

Grandma Li rolled over again and suddenly sat up.

She asked worriedly, "Do you think Xiaozhi will like us?"

Grandpa Zhen pulled the blanket up a little tighter and patiently comforted her, "Don't worry! I sent someone to deliver a message to her before!"

Thinking about Zhen Xiaozhi's temper, Old Lady Li still felt uneasy.

But since they've already come all this way, even if Xiaozhi doesn't want to take them in, they have to fend for themselves and settle down in Anqing Prefecture.

A sigh drifted through the night: "Since we're here, let's make the best of it. Go to sleep!"

Everyone woke up very early the next day.

Even the two little ones woke up earlier than usual, and Rou'er was feeding them with bottles.

Zhen Wanwan got up to wash her face. The water was still warm. After washing her face, she felt refreshed.

Granny Zhang brought breakfast into the house.

"My lady is awake! Come and have breakfast... everything is fresh out of the pot."

Zhen Wanwan looked at the table, where there was a bowl of rice porridge and a bowl of pickled vegetables.

That's really rare! Usually, I only have two steamed buns for breakfast.

"Have my mother and the others gotten up yet?"

Granny Zhang was folding mattresses and some commonly used items and putting them into the trunk.

Hearing Zhen Wanwan's voice, she smiled and replied, "Yes! The old lady got up exceptionally early today, and kept running to the bow of the boat to look around..."

Zhen Wanwan paused, her mother was too anxious.

Didn't Lord Feng say that we wouldn't reach the shore until noon?

It's still early, and all you can see now is the sea.

After a quick breakfast, Zhen Wanwan took another nap with her child in her arms, and finally, she saw land.

Thinking of what Feng He had said, her palms began to sweat!

Why do I feel this nervousness, like someone in a long-distance relationship about to meet?

Realizing this, Zhen Wanwan slapped her face several times, constantly reminding herself to stay awake.

By this time, everyone on the ship had reached the bow, and even Madam Fang, who hadn't shown her face for a long time, had come out.

The two nodded politely to each other and then fell silent.

Feng He was overjoyed; he was finally back!

He missed his parents, wife, and children back home terribly during the year he was away on business.

He couldn't help but look in Zhen Wanwan's direction, a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

If it weren't for his master assigning him the task of receiving Zhen Wanwan and her two children, he probably would have had to stay away for several more years.

Grandma Li, holding her precious baby, pointed to the shore and said, "My darling! Look! We've finally arrived at Anqing Prefecture!"

The others were also eagerly anticipating the event, with Wang Cuihua being the most excited, she even shed tears of emotion.

She vomited for a whole month during her time at sea, and she lost a lot of weight!

Dog Egg and his mischievous children were tied to their parents to prevent them from getting lost when they reached the shore in a crowd.

Madam Fang also breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting away from the spies of the second branch of the family!

She had also heard the news of the Crown Prince's death, and now the Fang family and her maternal family were being suppressed by the Fifth Prince.

She needed to find her uncle to help her maternal family as soon as possible, otherwise, if the fifth prince ascended the throne, the Fang and Han families might not have a good end.

After all, they had helped the Crown Prince and tricked the Fifth Prince too many times. How could the Fifth Prince possibly let them go after he gained power?
