Chapter 54 Mother Fang is Chasing
"The deposed crown prince will return to the capital one day."
Mu Yunzhao explained.
"Shut up! Are you dissatisfied with the emperor's judgment?"
Mrs. Tong scolded coldly.
The King of Qi and his mother, Concubine Wen, had already brought Li Wenjing down from power and sent him to hell, where he would never be able to rise again. How could he possibly have a chance to return to the capital of Chang'an?
My father-in-law just chose the wrong side, and now he has been implicated and exiled. If Mu Yunzhao's words get out, will their Mu family still have a chance to survive?
If the Mu family performs well and asks someone to speak well of them in front of the King of Qi, perhaps they will have a chance to return to Chang'an.
"Sister-in-law, believe me, everything I say is true."
Mu Yunzhao thought of his previous life, when the Mu family was exiled to Fangling County to do hard labor, but his father and elder brother were not content and early on defected to King Qi and became his eyes in Fangling.
Later, after Li Wenjing turned the tables, he wiped out the entire Mu family.
At that time, she really couldn't stand the hardship, so she climbed into the bed of Fangling County Magistrate early and became the county magistrate's concubine.
She was already married, so she saved her life, but she was also stuck in the mud and could not get out of it for the rest of her life.
The old county lieutenant treated her as a toy. When he was happy, he would wave to her, and when he was unhappy, he would torture her for fun.
In this life, she doesn't want to live that kind of life anymore, she wants to be a superior person.
"Pah~"
Tong slapped Mu Yunzhao in the face and said, "Just keep quiet. If I find out that you keep doing this and bring trouble to the Mu family, I'll kill you."
Mu Yunzhao covered his face, feeling extremely aggrieved.
This scene was also seen by Lin Zhiyi who was not far away, and she was very surprised.
The reason is that in the book, after being reborn, Mu Yunzhao fooled the Mu family around, and even Tong changed her mind because of her.
Under the leadership of Mu Yunzhao, the Mu family had food and drink during their exile, and all arrived in Fangzhou safely.
But later, when she gained power, she killed Tong, Mu's father and mother also died, and her eldest brother Mu Qin was also disabled.
And now, Mu Yunzhao must be very impetuous because he failed to capture Li Wenjing's heart, and he has no mood to think about other things.
Keep on going.
Some bad rumors have been circulating among the exile team in recent days.
Wang Liangdi cheated on Li Wenjing.
But rumors are just rumors after all. The deposed prince himself acted as if nothing had happened and no one would come up to him to remind him.
But everyone's eyes on Li Wenjing changed, and they all called Li Wenjing a coward behind his back.
Everyone was already resentful because they were implicated by the deposed crown prince.
It would have been fine if Li Wenjing had lost to the King of Qi, but now even a bailiff could play with his woman, clearly cuckolding him.
But this coward didn't dare to find the escort to settle the score, and still hoped that he would turn the tables one day and return to the capital Chang'an.
They became suspicious of Li Wenjing and no longer had the respect they once had for him.
At the same time, there were thoughts behind the scenes.
Lin Zhiyi would not care about his affairs. Her goal had been achieved. She knew that Li Wenjing would not marry Mu Yunzhao, and he also promised her that when he returned to the capital one day and took that position, he would grant the Lin family a royal decree and an imperial edict.
From now on, she only needs to take care of his diet along the way.
But ever since that time he fell into the water, the two of them felt a little awkward when getting along with each other.
Lin Zhiyi also tried to stay as close to him as possible to avoid him misunderstanding her again.
However, when Mu Yunzhao approached Li Wenjing, Lin Zhiyi would still come out to stop him.
Now even Li Wenjing began to suspect that Lin Zhiyi had developed feelings for him, which was why she was trying to stop Mu Yunzhao from getting close to him.
But at the same time, when Zhao Zhan and Lin Zhiyi were talking and laughing, Li Wenjing would come out to make trouble.
It also made Lin Zhiyi feel that Li Wenjing was weird.
When passing by a town today, Lin Zhiyi bought some pork ribs.
As soon as the team stopped, Lin Zhiyi set up the pot, and Chai Ya called out to the crowd, "Anyone who wants to eat spare ribs, come and register. It's two taels of silver per portion, and we'll give you two bowls of white rice."
When everyone heard this, they were immediately moved.
Unfortunately, I don’t have enough money on me.
Many people have tasted Lin Zhiyi's cooking skills, and the food she cooks is indeed delicious.
The exile team had been away from the capital for ten days and had traveled nearly three hundred miles, but Lin Zhiyi had made a fortune, which made many people jealous.
She did block the financial resources of some escorts, but she was protected by Zhao Zhan and other Jinwu Guards. Even if the escorts had deep opinions about Lin Zhiyi, they could only turn a blind eye.
Now even Eunuch Wang likes Lin Zhiyi's cooking skills, and she attends every meal of Lin Zhiyi's. If they dare to make things difficult for Lin Zhiyi, they will only be asking for trouble.
In a short while, Chai Ya sold more than 30 servings of stewed pork ribs.
When passing by the town today, Lin Zhiyi was afraid that there would not be enough bowls, so he specially bought some. Not to mention more than 30 servings, even if he sold 100 servings, there would be enough bowls and chopsticks.
Not far away, a carriage slowly approached the exile team.
The escort stopped him and said, "Who are you? Please leave immediately!"
Dalin, the carriage driver, grabbed the reins and explained hurriedly, "Sir, we are here to seek refuge with Miss Lin. The Lin family has been exiled to Fangzhou, and we are among the exiles. Miss Lin is here with us. Please be lenient with us, sir.
My mother is Miss Lin's wet nurse, and she was really worried about Miss Lin, so she followed her all the way here."
"Which Miss Lin?"
"Lin Fu's daughter."
The officer looked the two men up and down and didn't think they were bad guys. Then he called out to a place not far away, "Miss Lin, someone is looking for you."
Lin Zhiyi, who was cooking, heard the sound and handed the work in her hands to Chai Ya. She walked over, wondering who it was.
Lin Xiuran and Lin Xiuyan were worried about their sister, so they followed her.
"Girl, I have found you..."
Before Lin Zhiyi got close, she heard Fang Mama's voice.
"It's the wet nurse."
Lin Zhiyi said to his two brothers.
When I got closer, I saw that it was indeed Fang's mother.
"Sir, this is my wet nurse, and the other is her son. Please let them go."
The officer looked embarrassed, "This..."
Lin Zhiyi smiled and said, "Your Excellency hasn't had dinner yet, right? We cooked too many spare ribs tonight. Why don't you take a couple of bowls and try them?"
The officer's tense face immediately broke into a smile. "Miss Lin, you are too polite. Since they are servants of the Lin family, it is reasonable for them to be exiled with the Lin family. Then let them go."
He heard other escorts and the Jinwu Guards say how delicious the food cooked by Miss Lin was, and even Eunuch Wang would buy food cooked by Miss Lin every day.
Lin Zhiyi used this to attract him, how could he not be tempted.
Mother Fang and Dalin looked at each other with surprise. When did the girl learn to cook?
"Nurse, I didn't tell you not to come with us. You are old. How can your body withstand such a long journey?" Lin Zhiyi said.
