Chapter 363 News from Kyoto

The insane boatman did not intend to save anyone, but he soon came to his senses.

Having spent so many years in prison, he didn't want to go back for murder. Besides, he had a mother to take care of at home, so he couldn't go back for these people.

So when the group of people in the sea were completely exhausted, he finally took action and pulled them onto the boat.

Afterwards, he did not listen to the Min family's servant and chased after any ship. He rowed directly to a remote small island and drove everyone away.

These people are arrogant just because they have money. But this money is useless here. I hope they can still be arrogant here and have a taste of hardship.

The boatman took the fare he deserved and rowed the boat away leisurely.

The money he earned today was enough to support him and his mother for a year or two. He had to take his mother out to hide to avoid retaliation. Everything would be fine once these people from Kyoto left.

Nanny Chun's teeth were chattering, whether from the cold or anger. After a few breaths, she fainted.

As soon as she fainted, the others began to whisper.

"What should we do now? This place feels so far away from the city..."

"We can't swim. If no boat comes, we'll just have to wait to die."

This island is the kind that you can see the whole picture at a glance. There are only a dozen trees that are obviously fruitless, and then there are a bunch of lush weeds. Not even a small animal can be seen.

Without food or water, the situation is already very serious.

"Are we going to die...wuwuwu..."

A little maid couldn't help crying.

She originally thought that this trip was a good assignment, but she ended up being manipulated around, scolded, punished, and even went to jail.

Now that I have just come out, I am thrown onto a barren island to fend for myself. The thought of it makes me despair.

She should have listened to her mother and stayed in Kyoto, otherwise she would not have ended up like this.

"Shut up and don't cry!"

Ling'er stood up at this time.

Her mother and father are both Jiang Cheng's confidants, so apart from Nanny Chun, she has the highest status here and her words are the most influential.

"There's no point in just crying when everyone is here. The most important thing is to find a way to leave first."

For the sake of her own life, the delicate Ling'er had to be strong.

She ignored Nanny Chun on the ground and first organized a few maids to gather all the food they had with them.

Since I wanted to leave Hailing City this time, I bought some dry food and a few water bags with me even though I left in a hurry.

If you rely on these and eat and drink sparingly, you can survive on the island for about six or seven days.

Time is short...

Ling'er's eyes fell on the trees on the island, then looked at the knives carried by the guards, and an idea came to her mind.

"Brother Chen, you guys should change your clothes quickly, eat something and rest for a while. When you are well again, go and try to chop down a few trees."

When they heard about cutting down trees, Xiao Chen and the others understood that Ling'er wanted to make a raft.

This is a good idea. They have knives and swords, so cutting trees is no problem for them.

"But none of us know how to row, so what if we end up in the deep sea?"

"That's better than waiting to die here. As long as we have a raft, we might run into a fishing boat when we go out. At worst, we can find a bigger island where we can have food and drink."

Anyway, there is no way Ling'er would just wait to die here.

At this moment, the servant of the Min family, who had been hiding in the corner, suddenly appeared.

"I can row a boat! Once the raft is built, I will teach you. I used to go fishing with my father and we often went out to sea. I can also tell the direction!"

When faced with hope of life, who wouldn't want to give it a try?

Ling'er was overjoyed, and the others followed suit.

As long as the raft is built, they can leave this damn place.

Under Ling'er's command, the men and women were divided into two teams. The strong ones went to chop trees, while the weak ones pulled weeds and collected firewood. The servant of the Min family was special because he knew how to make ropes with grass, so he was given the task of tying the raft.

Everyone was busy and no one paid attention to Nanny Chun lying on the ground.

Everyone has had enough of her wrath along the way, and it has nothing to do with them if she dies here.

However, this man survived and woke up in the evening.

As soon as he wakes up, he starts to make a fuss. One moment he wants someone to massage his shoulders and legs, the next he wants to be fed and given water.

The little maidservant she ordered around had just found a lover in the guard team, and she couldn't bear to see her lover being bullied, so she secretly hit Nanny Chun with a club, causing her to sleep for several days.

On the fifth day, their simple raft was successfully built. The group set out with light luggage and left the small island without looking back.

As for Nanny Chun, she injured her head and was unable to wake up in time, and died of thirst and hunger.

Two teams were sent out, each keeping silent.

Jiang Cheng in Kyoto was feeling irritated, but he was helpless because the distance was too far. He became increasingly angry recently, and everyone in the mansion was living in a state of extreme caution.

"Master, Qianmianfang just sent a batch of jewelry to the backyard. This money..."

The housekeeper's voice was trembling with nervousness.

Jiang Cheng became angry instantly.

"She bought a new batch of jewelry?? She has only worn the ones she bought before, how can she wear all of them?"

The cousin who used to be caring, gentle and considerate became arrogant since she became pregnant. Jiang Cheng was very annoyed, but he had to comfort her all the time.

Because his wedding is in a few months, if he is not appeased, it will be troublesome if both parties find out.

Once he gets married, everything will be settled, and when my cousin has a baby, there will be no need to keep it a secret.

The cousin with a child had no choice but to accept her fate and become a concubine.

"Master..."

"Okay, okay, take the cards and pay for them."

Jiang Cheng took out his pair of cards with a painful feeling, his heart bleeding.

His official position didn't bring much benefits, so it was not easy for him to make some money. Most of the money in the mansion was from his ex-wife's dowry.

I hope the new wife can be more outstanding, rely more on her family, and get a higher official position.

Jiang Cheng felt happy again when he thought about marrying the daughter of the Marquis soon.

Others laughed at him for marrying a woman who had been married three times and had two children. That was all jealousy.

As long as the father-in-law is capable, nothing would have happened to his daughter.

Jiang Cheng is so realistic.

At this time, Jiang Wan, who was far away in Hailing City, also received the news that her father was about to get married. Of course, this news was given to her by Lord Qin.

"It is said that he married a noblewoman from a marquisate, but this is his third marriage, and he has two children."

Jiang Wan and A Niang were just chatting idly, as if this was just a bite of melon that they had casually eaten and had nothing to do with them at all.

Of course, they have nothing to do with Jiang Cheng, so who would know that they came from another world?

"Jiang Cheng is also risking his life to climb up."

Yin Huaixi didn't look down on people who tried to climb up the social ladder. As long as you have a way and it's not against the law, no one cares about you. The premise is that you don't set your sights on her daughter.

Yin Huaixi despised the kind of father who wanted to sell his daughter in exchange for a higher position.

"Master Qin gave me a letter, saying that someone in Kyoto gave it to you."

Jiang Wan took out a big envelope.

The words on the outside were neat and tidy, and it was hard to make out anything. It only said "Written by Yin Huaixi himself."

Tear off the outer layer and take out the small envelope inside, then it becomes interesting.

Yin Huaixi personally opened the door to him, which became Huaixi personally opened the door to him, and they became much closer.

The calligraphy on the hairpin with flowers is very beautiful, and it should have been written by a woman.

When Yin Huaixi saw the words, a name immediately popped up in his mind. It was one of the few good friends of the original body.

Chu Lingyu.

Many of the original body's childhood friends had married out of Kyoto, and the only one who remained in Kyoto and with whom she maintained close contact was Chu Lingyu.

I thought we would no longer have any contact after being exiled, but I didn't expect...

"This is a letter from your Aunt Chu. Let me see what it says."

Yin Huaixi unfolded the letter and read it very carefully, her lips curled up as she read.

"This is to give me a heads-up so that I can watch the show."

She handed the letter to her daughter, and Jiang Wan read it quickly.

"Tsk tsk, that scumbag father is so bold. He has a pregnant cousin living in the mansion, and he dares to seduce the noblewoman of the Marquis' Mansion outside."

If this gets out, the Marquis' Mansion will not forgive Jiang Cheng.

"Aunt Chu said she wanted to ruin his reputation. Auntie, please leave your next letter for me to read. I want to read it, too."

Jiang Wan's face was full of excitement.

She had wanted to take revenge on that scumbag father in Kyoto for a long time. He had kicked the original mother and daughter out of the house, and took advantage of the fact that the Yin family was exiled and no one dared to support them, and directly swallowed up the girl's dowry.

All the fields and shops were seized, which was extremely shameless.

Men like this don't deserve a good life.
