Mu Ruxue said, "Mother, it's too formal for you to say that. We are all family, there's no need to be so polite."
Zhao smiled and nodded, and everyone knew that she was speaking the truth, which was enough.
Yun Ruoxi looked at the endless water in front of her and did not see the hundred mountains that Wei Da had mentioned.
After thinking about it, they realized that they had just walked out of the territory of Yanyuan Prefecture. It would probably take a few more days to see the border of Yanning Prefecture.
Everyone continued on their journey, and before they knew it, it was dark. At night, everyone ate the cooked food in the space ring.
Cooking is really inconvenient and there is nothing we can do. Even if we use the stove, it is not only time-consuming and laborious, but the food tastes just average.
Mu Ruxue looked at the night sky. Since the rain stopped, she could finally see the stars.
"Xixi, look, you can see the stars."
Yun Ruoxi followed the direction Mu Ruxue pointed, looked at the stars in the sky, and felt a little emotional for a moment.
“Time flies by so fast.”
Mu Ruxue still missed the modern big villa. After coming here, she never had a good night's sleep.
I always feel like there might be danger. What if I accidentally fall asleep and something happens?
This is because she has been in a depressing place for a long time and has no sense of security. If the two sisters had not gone through it together, Mu Ruxue seriously doubted whether she would be driven crazy.
Thinking of this, Mu Ruxue actually felt a little emotional. She hugged Yun Ruoxi's arm and leaned her head gently on her shoulder.
"Xixi, it's great to have you here. If I had come here alone, I don't know how I would have faced these dangers."
Yun Ruoxi stared at the stars in the sky and did not reply to Mu Ruxue, but she had the same feeling in her heart.
Just like that, the two of them leaned against each other and looked at the stars in the sky quietly, and they actually felt a moment of peace in their hearts.
It has been more than a month since I came to Daye Dynasty, and now I finally feel a little bit like home.
The two brothers Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan were guarding silently not far away. They did not go forward to disturb them. They just raised their heads and looked at the sky with their two best friends.
At dawn the next day, Yun Ruoxi was awakened by a quarrel.
During this period, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue were used to living a quiet life, so they were somewhat uncomfortable when they suddenly heard the sound of quarreling.
"How could you do this? We are all family, but you only cared about yourselves while running for your lives and left our second branch behind. What on earth is going on?"
Yun Ruoxi knew it was Wang's voice as soon as she heard it before she saw the person.
Then, Aunt Bai's voice came, "Don't think we didn't see it. When the flood came that day, you drove away on the boat. You didn't even think about the life and death of our second wife."
Usually, when something like this happens, it is the brothers Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan who deal with it. Yun Ruoxi also believes that the two brothers can handle it well.
So he was not in a hurry in the cabin. He and Mu Ruxue put on their clothes slowly, and then slowly walked out of the cabin.
As soon as I walked out, I heard Xiao Jingrui said bluntly, "What family? Xiao Bin's identity is still unknown. Don't flatter yourself. If I remember correctly, our two families have severed ties a long time ago. Could it be that the scar has healed and the pain has been forgotten?"
As he spoke, Xiao Jingrui looked towards Xiao Bin's legs.
Everyone naturally knew what this meant. Xiao Bin's legs were broken by his brothers Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan.
Moreover, he broke the father's legs in front of his own son, and the son did not help him at all.
Yun Ruoxi was deeply impressed by this incident. She had always had a bad impression of the people from the second house, and now she was even more disgusted with them.
Mu Ruxue was almost the same, and she started to mock him directly, "You say we're a family, but it seems like your second branch has never done anything humane, right? Putting aside their status, your second branch's character is nothing to be commended. Taking you on the road, just you? You have the nerve to say that. We, the first branch, have already shown mercy by not taking the opportunity to kill your entire family."
Yun Ruoxi then noticed that the people from the second house had actually found some wooden boards and sounded like they were making a raft.
Following the second branch were all the villagers from Dashan Village, including Village Chief Li’s family.
And Li Ergou, who had been looking for trouble before, was now looking at their wooden boat with greed in his eyes.
Looking at Wang who was standing in the front and cursing, Yun Ruoxi roughly knew what had happened recently.
Unexpectedly, good people don’t live long, but evil deeds last for thousands of years.
Despite such a severe flood, the people in their eldest family were able to escape the disaster because they were fully equipped with the things Yun Ruoxi had stockpiled.
The people from the second branch had nothing, but they valued their lives and ran fast. If she remembered correctly, the tree from the second branch was the largest on the top of the mountain except for the one they occupied.
It is said that the second branch of the family is very lucky. Xiao Bin had his legs broken by the two brothers Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan while on the road of exile, under such difficult circumstances.
There was a shortage of medical care and medicine, and doctors were hard to find. Later, we experienced heavy rain and floods.
Xiao Bin's legs were so damaged, but he is still alive and well now. Yun Ruoxi even suspects that the people in the second house have the aura of the protagonist.
Sometimes, people have to believe in the existence of luck.
Thinking about how lucky the second house was, Yun Ruoxi kept reminding herself that she must be careful of the people from the second house in the future.
When Wang saw that it was Mu Ruxue who came out to challenge her, she lashed out without hesitation, "How can a junior like you speak to an elder? Is this how your family taught you etiquette and rules? Oh, I almost forgot, you're just a concubine's daughter. I guess your aunt herself doesn't understand any etiquette."
Zhao Shi naturally wouldn't stand by and watch her daughter-in-law being casually scolded by Wang Shi. She stood up and said, "Even if our eldest wife's daughter-in-law makes a big fuss, it's our eldest branch's business. Your second branch's master, a lowly creature who doesn't know where he came from, is meddling in our eldest branch's affairs. It's simply a joke. When we get to the border, we will write to the clan and demand that your second branch be expelled from the clan."
Wang sneered, "Just you? When the master returned to his ancestral home, you failed to stop him. Forget it now!"
Zhao looked at Wang coldly and said calmly, "Back then, we just wanted to see who was behind Xiao Bin, but now that we know, how do you know we don't have evidence? If this confiscation and exile hadn't come so suddenly, your second branch would have been expelled from the Xiao family long ago."
