“Yesterday, Father spread the word that he had a falling out with the two eldest brothers of the Yun family and had a conflict. In a fit of anger, he drove the two eldest brothers out of Nanzhou Prefecture and sent them to that poor and remote place called Nanman Prefecture.”

Yun Yu told Yun Mo and his brother what Yun Zhenchuan had told him before he left.

It seems Yun Zhenchuan is helping them clean up the mess.

Seeing that the two remained silent, Yunyu pointed to the carriage road behind them, which had about twenty or thirty carriages, and said, "The carriages behind are carrying grain and some daily necessities."

Upon hearing this, Yunye bowed to Yunyu and said, "In that case, please thank Uncle for his care when you return."

"I'm afraid not." Yun Yu smiled. "Second cousin, Father gave me two hundred chapters, and asked Yun Kang and me to take this opportunity to travel with you to the Southern Barbarian Prefecture."

Yun Mo peeked out and glanced at the retinue following behind the carriage, his face darkening. "We're going to the Southern Barbarian Prefecture to make a living, not for a day trip or training."

"To be honest with my two cousins, we brothers are not good at studying. Our aunt comes from a humble background, and her future achievements will certainly not be as good as those of the legitimate son. We beg you two cousins ​​to give us a chance. I want to go to the Southern Barbarian Prefecture to seek a future with you. We will study hard."

Yunyu directly explained her current situation.

Yun Kang lowered his head in shame. He had followed Yun Hao in his reckless behavior and had never considered these issues at all.

Seeing his insistence on following, Yunye frowned and asked, "What about your wife and children?"

"I'll bring the mother and her two children over once I've settled down in Nanman Prefecture."

Thinking of his wife who had knelt beside him for half the night, Yunyu felt a wave of tenderness wash over her. She understood him.

“Since you insist on following us, we can’t stop you. But there’s one thing you must do: obey our commands and not act on your own,” Yunye said solemnly.

"Definitely, I will keep my men in line."

Yun Mo gestured to his guards, indicating that they could continue their journey.

Seeing how efficient and decisive he was, Yun Yu hesitated for a moment before finally revealing the news she had received yesterday.

"Yesterday, Fan Yuejia, the eldest daughter of the Fan family, got engaged to the eldest grandson of the Yu family. The wedding will be held during the 100-day mourning period."

"So fast?"

Yunye glanced at Yunmo. He had previously insisted on marrying only his own third brother. How could the marriage be settled so hastily?

"After Fan Xueli died, his brothers and uncles began to stir. Fan Xueli's eldest son was no match for the large Fan family, so he resorted to this desperate measure, letting his sister marry into the Yu family while she was in mourning."

"The Yu family is the second most powerful family in the south, after the Fan family."

Upon hearing Yun Yu's explanation, the Yun brothers understood.

The two brothers initially decided to kill Fan Xueli simply because he threatened them with his family, hoping that killing him would throw the Fan family into chaos and give them a chance to escape. Unexpectedly, this backfired, causing the most prestigious clan in the south to fall apart from within.

No one in the Fan family had time to investigate Fan Xueli's death.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yunyu and Yunkang led the two hundred members of the group behind the procession.

The two young girls, Lin Zhiyan and Lin Yichun, along with Old Mrs. Zhao and Li Shulan, were all sitting in Lin Yinan's carriage, while Yun Mo was outside driving.

Li Shulan couldn't stay idle. She was weaving straw sandals with straw rope in her hand. Her fingers were slender and nimble. She threaded several straw ropes through her fingers. It looked very simple.

After watching for a while, Lin Yinan felt that he had learned it, so he picked up the straw rope and carefully asked Li Shulan for instructions.

No matter how many times Li Shulan taught her, even slowing down the movements so that Lin Yinan could follow along, she could only manage a few steps before her movements became completely unrecognizable.

"Oh dear! No, this is too difficult."

In her past life, she was clumsy from a young age, and she didn't expect to be the same after transmigrating. Lin Yinan was a little discouraged.

Looking at the two little girls who were already fast asleep in the carriage, Grandma Zhao advised, "Why don't you lie down and sleep for a while too?"

"I slept well last night, so I'm not sleepy now."

She had to admit that ever since Yun Mo started sleeping next to her every night, she hadn't even had a dream.

A stack of papers was handed in through the car door. "Yunyu just brought these over. Anan, could you tell me where we should stay?"

Lin Yinan took the documents and began to read them carefully.

The document she was looking at was a network of relationships among the prominent families of the Southern Lands. The Fan family was the most prestigious family in the Southern Lands, followed by the Yu family. In addition, there was the second branch of the Yun family and some other smaller families.

Although most of the county towns in Nanman Prefecture are deserted, there are still a few aristocratic families distributed in the border areas close to Nanzhou Prefecture. Among them, the Zhong family and the Ye family are the most prosperous and have a complex relationship of marriage.

The second document describes the county town that was most suitable for them to settle in the southern barbarians.

After looking at the documents for a while, Lin Yinan felt sleepy, put them away, lay down, and fell asleep with Lin Zhiyan in her arms.

Lin Yinan was sound asleep when she was shaken awake.

"Anan, get up and eat."

Lin Yinan got up and habitually glanced at the sky outside. "What time is it?"

"It's past noon." Yun Mo helped her up and asked softly, "Would you like to wash up first?"

Lin Yinan nodded, got off the carriage, and looked around. The caravan was stopped in a sparse forest at the foot of the mountain, and the crops planted in the fields not far away were beginning to sprout green.

Where are we?

"We haven't left the territory of Nanzhou Prefecture yet. We'll arrive at Nanman Prefecture the day after tomorrow."

After lunch, everyone haphazardly pulled up some branches and weeds to sit on the ground, while some lay down and closed their eyes to catch up on sleep.

Yun Er returned the crossbows to Lin Yinan. The crossbows were wrapped in black cloth, and the arrows were wiped clean, with not a single one missing.

Lin Yinan looked at him with a half-smile, "Finished your research?"

"Third Madam, this arrow is really too good. My brothers and I studied it and couldn't figure out what it was made of. I wonder where we can buy it?" This was the best crossbow arrow that Yun Er had ever used. If it hadn't belonged to Lin Yinan, he would have wanted to keep it for himself.

Lin Yinan shrugged, looking troubled. "I can't buy it. My master made it himself."

"If there's nothing else, go back and rest. We still have a long way to go." Yun Mo found him in the way and impatiently kicked him.

Yun Er nimbly dodged the attack. "By the way, Yun Erye asked you to bring the Third Madam over, saying he has something to discuss."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Yun Mo rolled her eyes at him.

When Lin Yinan and Yun Mo arrived, besides the Lin family village chief and the others, there were also Wu Xingwang and Wu Xu.

Seeing Yun Mo helping Lin Yinan, who was heavily pregnant, over, Yun Yu, who was sitting in the crowd, was very surprised. They were men talking about business, so why did her third cousin bring his wife along?

Yunming, who was standing next to her, was very perceptive and promptly got up to offer his small stool to Lin Yinan.

"Third sister-in-law, come and sit here."

Lin Yinan nodded to him, walked over and sat down in Yun Ming's seat.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yunye smiled and said, "Tomorrow we will leave Nanzhou Prefecture. I believe everyone knows that our destination is Nanman Prefecture. There are currently three vacant counties in Nanman Prefecture, which are very suitable for us to settle down. I called everyone here to hear your opinions and see which county we should choose to settle down in."
