She had barely finished speaking when Shen Lijun glared at her. Realizing that her future return depended entirely on Shen Xinglan, she immediately shut up.

When Shen Lijun saw that Shen Xinglan's younger brothers all had blisters on their feet, he immediately coughed.

"We still need to make this little stroller, so Xinglan can lie down more comfortably."

Mu Wanting sighed, "But we're already tired. Let's go to sleep so as not to disturb the others."

Shen Lijun immediately looked at the other members of the Shen family.

"It's alright, a few of us can do it, and Xingchi can just give us guidance from the side."

Mu Wanting looked at Shen Xingchi and Shen Xingyi and the others: "Do you still have the energy to give guidance?"

"have."

A glint flashed in Shen Xingchi's eyes; his sister-in-law was more capable than he had imagined.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, she is indeed leaning towards the third wife's side.

As long as she favors the third wife, he will not touch her.

But if it's... then don't blame him.

Mu Wanting was exhausted from all the work and immediately returned to the tree to sleep.

Then she heard a faint baby crying from the side. Turning her head, she saw Shen Mingjiao with tears streaming down her face.

This pampered young lady has no idea how to take care of a child. The child's face was already turning blue from crying, but all she could do was shake the child.

Shen Yujiao was extremely anxious, wanting to hold the child but afraid of accidentally strangling the thin, weak little thing.

Mother Shen asked softly, "Is Qin'er hungry?"

Shen Mingjiao hurriedly breastfed the baby. She had been hungry all day and didn't have much milk left. The baby ate for a long time but didn't get much, and soon started crying again.

When Shen Mingjiao was about to bite her index finger to feed the child, Mu Wanting silently took the child over.

"Alright, I'll handle it. You should go to sleep."

She secretly took out milk powder and a baby bottle from her spatial storage, prepared the milk for the baby, and fed the baby with the bottle.

After the child had eaten and drunk his fill, he fell asleep shortly afterward.

Mu Wanting handed the child to Shen Mingjiao, yawned, and fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Mingjiao watched Qin'er smack her lips contentedly, feeling deeply grateful to Mu Wanting.

In the following days, more convicts were added to their exile group, and Mu Wanting even saw a few familiar faces among them.

After several days of exile, everyone looked sickly, but Mu Wanting ate, drank, slept, and even exercised, looking radiant.

She secretly ate a hot steamed bun and drank soy milk, and her mood instantly improved.

The officers came over with leather whips to urge them on.

"Get out of here, no one is allowed to stop."

The others were alright, but Shen Lijun was truly too weak to walk. The cart hadn't been finished yesterday, and since they didn't have the tools, they could only slowly grind it with stones.

Today he had to carry Shen Xinglan on his back alone. In just one hour, all the blisters on his feet burst and new blisters appeared. Every step he took was excruciatingly painful.

Moreover, Shen Xinglan cannot carry his back normally; his most serious injury is in his chest.

Fortunately, when he couldn't carry it anymore, the other men from the second branch of the family could help carry him, which allowed him to barely make it to the midday rest.

After eating white flour cakes and some dried meat, the first and second wives went to find suitable tree branches to make small carts within the area permitted by the officials.

The three family members swallowed hard, the black flatbread was really hard to swallow, they stretched their necks and swallowed hard several times before they could swallow it down, and once they ate it, they couldn't help but feel nauseous.

Mu Wanting didn't want to wrong herself. Seeing fish in the river, she also wanted to eat some fresh fish, so she immediately went down into the river to catch them.

Madam Shen frowned: "For a woman to go barefoot is simply licentious!"

Madam Shen scoffed, "Someone like her, what kind of fish could she possibly catch?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Wanting lifted a fish weighing about ten kilograms onto the shore.

The two sisters-in-law were so shocked they couldn't speak. How could such a small river have such big fish?

Then, Mu Wanting stood up from the river, and surprisingly, she was wearing shoes.

Mu Wanting sneered, "My dear ladies, if you weren't blind, you should have seen it. Not only am I wearing shoes, but this fish is also quite large."

"Oh dear, how am I ever going to finish such a big fish?"

Anyway, she has plenty of shoes; she can just quietly change them if they get wet.

As soon as she came ashore, people from the first and second wives immediately went down into the river to catch fish, but they could only see small fish, not such big ones.

After all, Mu Wanting took the fish out of her spatial storage just to go through the proper channels.

Mu Wanting then spent another thirty taels of silver to exchange for a large iron pot from the officials. She built a stove herself and started cooking fish. Some of the seasonings were from her spatial storage, and some she found by the river.

After eating dark-colored steamed buns for so long, everyone was fed up and stared at the big iron pot with gleaming eyes.

Even the officials and constables kept glancing this way.

After Mu Wanting finished cooking, she served Shen Xinglan a bowl of fish soup, secretly added medicine to it, and then used a special method to force-feed it to Shen Xinglan.

Shen Xingchi and Shen Yujiao tentatively scooped up some fish meat, and seeing that Mu Wanting did not object, they felt a bit more favorably disposed towards Mu Wanting.

Regardless of what she did in the past, we're all in the same boat now.

After seeing Mother Shen nod, the other illegitimate sons and daughters also gathered around and scooped some for themselves and their aunts.

Shen Mingjiao only came to eat after being invited by Mu Wanting. Mu Wanting always felt that after marrying and divorcing, the spirit of this Miss Jiao had been worn away.

"Drink more fish soup and eat more fish so your baby will have enough milk."

Shen Mingjiao's eyes reddened. She was also a spoiled young lady back then, and she didn't get along with Mu Wanting. She was strongly opposed to Mu Wanting entering the family.
