time.The boys swaggered back, carrying sticks, especially Jiāxǐ and Jiā'ān, striking a pose like characters in a play, fists held high."General, we have set out on campaign and returned victorious....Just like ants moving house, all those leaving gathered in little groups.

As expected, the rest of the people in Zhengjiazhuang were unwilling to go south. Only Shui Ling and Shui Yun brought over twenty children, along with two young couples.

Jia Yin comforted her for a few words, then went to see the thirty guards sent by the manager of Hou's Mansion.

These thirty guards, each one is a formidable warrior, absolute masters.

With them marching south, everyone could feel a little more at ease.

Jia Yin's heart was filled with a bitter taste. Needless to say, these arrangements were all made by her adoptive father before he went to war.

But I don't know what he was feeling at the time.

It must have been expected that this day would come, but I didn't want it to arrive...

The forest was not large, accommodating over two hundred people and vehicles, making it quite crowded.

But no one dared to make a sound, not even a horse's mouth was left unmuzzled.

If someone happened to pass by and saw this scene, they would probably be scared out of their wits.

Tao Hongying kept her daughter's hand, whispering words into her ear, as if she wanted to tell her everything in her life.

Jia Yin couldn't help but hug her mother tightly, unwilling to let go.

Tao Hongying's tears quickly soaked into her daughter's shoulders...

Until, two large ships appeared at the small pier.

After Zheng He had confirmed, he sent the signal to begin.

Tao Hongying quickly wiped away her tears and began to command efficiently.

Children boarded the ship first, followed by women, and finally men.

Ma Ge'er, Zhimin, Xiujie, and Wenhao walked to Jia Yin's side. They wanted to say something, but in the end, it all turned into a tight embrace, including Zhimin, Xiujie, and Wenhao.

At this moment, they suddenly regretted it very much.

If they had been more diligent, even if they had learned martial arts or taken the imperial examinations earlier, would they not have to withdraw in such a dejected manner today

It was the younger sister who could stay in Xin Du, sharing the hardships with her family…

Jiyin guessed their thoughts and gently comforted them, “Don’t overthink it, life is long, there will be opportunities later.”

Several people heaved the anchor up, then turned and strode onto the ship.

Jia Huan patted Mu Xu's shoulder, Mu Xu thought he was going to tell him to take good care of the princess.

Unexpectedly, Jiahuan said, “Be careful and don't rely on Wuyi's skill to take risks. You are now a member of our Li family. If anything happens to you, not only would my sister be hurt, but all of us would be heartbroken.”

Mu Xu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Don't worry, Second Brother. I will take good care of myself, and I will take good care of the County Lord."

Home happily nodded, hugged her sister again, and then boarded the ship.

Jia Yin calculated in her heart, and once again looked toward the distance.

"Is anyone else missing" Mu Xu wondered.

As Jia Yin was about to speak, a figure quickly approached.

Winter Plum finally appeared, with Mrs. Wu unconscious on her back.

She panted heavily for several breaths before saying, "Princess, am I late"

Jia Yin let out a long sigh of relief and quickly said, "No."

Before, the village head wanted to send his wife to the south too, but Wu's mother disagreed and absolutely refused to leave.

Unable to do anything else, the village head secretly asked Jia Yin for help and came up with this plan.

Taking advantage of the fact that all the carts and horses had left, Aunty Wu was caught off guard. She was knocked unconscious, and Dongmei was instructed to bring her here alone.

"You've worked hard, Aunt Mei. Please send Auntie Wu onto the ship and leave her to my mother's care."

Dong Mei responded and jumped onto the deck in three or two bounds.

Tao Hongying had already heard, and was waiting. Now that she'd received the person, she didn't forget to wave a few times with her girl friend.

Jia Yin also waved her arms vigorously, even though her mother couldn't see, she tried her best to smile brightly...

Two large boats parted the river water, just as they had come, and once again quietly departed.

Everyone stood in silence, watching until there was not even a shadow left.

Jia Yin took a deep breath and instructed the veterans, "Go back to your villages. Be careful on the road, and listen to the village head's orders in the future. Report any problems immediately."

The old soldiers saluted one after another and drove away in their carriages.

Zheng Sanjiang had to continue lurking, bowed his hands, and also left with Zheng He and Zheng Feng.

Mu Xu and Jia Yin left with Shui Ling and Shui Yun to return to the city, Dong Mei also followed along.

"My Lady, there's nothing happening in the village, but it seems you and the old Madam are going to the palace. Let me serve you during this time!"

Just as Jia Yin was about to speak, Mu Xu interjected, "I have to get back to work now. With Mei Auntie by your side, I feel at ease."

Jiayin could only nod her head. The crowd rode horses out of the city, and Mu Xu took away the horses.

Jiao Yin leaned on Mei Yi's back and, together with Shui Ling Shui Yun, secretly entered the city again.

At the Earl's mansion, Old Madam Li and Li Laoer, Mr. Wen and others were all awake.

Upon seeing Jia Yin's return, they immediately surrounded her.

"How are you all Did you all get out safely"

Jia Yin nodded and carefully read out the list of those who had been withdrawn, naturally also mentioning those who remained.

Grandma Li sighed, "I knew most of the villagers wouldn't leave."

Jia Yin didn't want her grandmother to worry, so she said, "Grandma, please rest assured. Even if things weren't at their worst, or even if it reached a point of no return, I would directly hand over the title deed and shopkeepers of Suijin Beach, along with all the staff, to the Third Princess or the Crown Prince. They would definitely be able to ensure everyone's safety."

"First of all, the villagers haven't committed any major crimes. Secondly, Suijin Beach and all its businesses are gold mines; no one is willing to ruin that, right"

Li Lao was stunned for a moment, then turned to smile wryly and pat her granddaughter.

"This is all your treasure chest, how can you bear to..."

“Grandma, wealth is just external. As long as our family is well, I can start dozens of money-making deals anywhere, anytime, and set up a larger and better estate.” Jiayin chuckled, hugged her grandmother's arm, and quickly changed the subject.

"It's almost dawn, we still have to go to the palace to pay our respects. Take this time to sleep, I'll have Shui Yun prepare something. No matter where we are, we must eat well and drink well, if we can avoid suffering, we shouldn't suffer."

Lao Li had stayed up all night and was indeed getting exhausted. She was helped into the room for a short nap, naturally attended to by Chang Mama and others.

Jia Yin instructed Shui Yun a few words, and then went over the plan again with Er Bo and Mr. Wen, making sure nothing was overlooked before feeling completely at ease.

No matter how long this night had been, dawn was finally breaking.

Not to mention how everyone was busy changing their clothes and rushing to the palace, let alone in the Princess's mansion. One hand silently lifted the bed curtain and called out, "Caiyun, come in and serve me."

The inner chamber door was immediately pushed open. Caiyun entered with a basin of water and deftly served her master, helping him dress and wash. She didn't dare to glance at the disarray on the bed.

Not until the third princess had changed into her white mourning clothes did the man on the bed become agitated, weakly scolding, "Princess, you can't humiliate me like this! I am the son of a prince, not your pet. Besides, I also need to go to the palace to pay my respects."

The third princess didn't respond at all. She calmly smoothed her sleeves and replied faintly, "Where did this princess offend the son-in-law I was just taking pity on you since you were still recovering from your illness and keeping you in the mansion to recuperate."

Besides, when you visited your mother-in-law's house before, didn't you offer incense to her

"Don't worry, I'll explain to Father and the Crown Prince soon. They wouldn't punish you."
