The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

Yan Muxi stepped forward quickly, "Big sister, it's me."

Yan Muqing's eyes were filled with tears. She excitedly reached out to pull her, but when she realized that her hands were covered with frostbite that was still oozing pus, she retracted her hand.

Yan Muxi seemed not to notice Yan Muqing's action. She grabbed her hand that was trying to pull back and said in a choked voice, "It's only been a few years since we last met. Big sister, you won't be so estranged that you won't even let your own sister in when she comes to your house!"

Feeling the warmth of her hands being held, Yan Muqing felt even more distressed and could not control herself. She blinked quickly, trying to hold back the tears, but they still flowed uncontrollably.

"Second sister, you're still alive, that's great, that's great." Thinking of something, she looked back and said, "The room is too messy, why don't we sisters sit in the yard for a while."

On the way here, Yan Muxi had already listened to Yan Da's general account of Yan Muqing and Yu Jintang's situation in the past two years.

When Yu Jintang left the palace, he was forced to drink strong drugs, which not only killed his offspring, but also severely damaged his internal organs.

After Emperor Yuanjing passed away, Yan Yongchen proposed that Yan Muching return home. Yu Jinzhou did not want to offend Yan Yongchen, so he thought of a compromise and agreed to let the couple escape from the palace by faking their own death.

Yu Jinzhou's move ostensibly gave Yu Jintang a way to survive, but in reality it completely eliminated the possibility of Yu Jintang competing for the throne again.

When they were driven out of the palace, Yu Jintang and Yan Muqing were left empty-handed. Not only did they not have any property, they were also being monitored by Yu Jinzhou's men at all times.

In the past year, the two of them relied on Yan Muqing's copying books to support their family. If they only ate, drank, and defecated, Yan Muqing earned more than one tael of silver per month from copying books, which was enough to keep them well fed and clothed. However, Yu Jintang was constantly suffering from minor illnesses and pains, and most of the silver was spent on medical treatment and medicine. The two of them had to tighten their belts to survive.

The two sisters sat on a bench in the yard and chatted and reminisced about the past. While talking, Yan Muxi looked carefully at the thatched hut in front of them without any expression. There was only one room in the house, without even a partition. The bedridden Yu Jintang should be lying in the house.

With such harsh conditions, the couple had no idea how they managed to survive last year’s snowstorm and cold snap.

The mountain village was already isolated from the outside world, and Yan Muqing had not been out for nearly half a month, so he didn't know that the situation outside had changed. When he heard from Yan Muxi that Yu Jinzhou had died suddenly and Yu Jintai had seized the imperial power, he was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the world will be peaceful in the future. What are your plans, big sister?"

Yan Muqing shook her head in astonishment, "I don't know. I haven't thought about it yet."

No matter who sits on the throne of Dafeng, it cannot change Yu Jintang's status as the deposed crown prince. As long as Yu Jintang is alive, he will be a thorn in the emperor's heart, and he will not be able to live a comfortable life.

But she couldn't just abandon Yu Jintang, so she didn't know what plans she could make.

Yan Muxi could roughly guess what Yan Muqing was thinking, "Big sister, if you are willing, you can take him with you and go to Huadao with me to look for Mingxin."

Yan Muqing's eyes suddenly widened, and she excitedly grabbed Yan Muxi's hand, "Mingxin, she's still alive?"

When Ming Xin was taken away, she was as silent as a dead body. Yan Muqing always hoped that Ming Xin was still alive, but before getting the confirmed news, hope was just hope.

If she hadn't been thinking about her daughter, when the Su and Xue families were destroyed, she would have been unable to hold back and would have wanted to follow them.

Thinking of the little ones on the island, Yan Muxi smiled and nodded, "I brought Mingxin back to Flower Island. Not only is she fine, she also has playmates to play with every day. She's living a good life!"

Hearing that her daughter was fine, Yan Muqing's tears fell, "Thank you, thank you!"

Yan Muxi put away the smile on her face and sighed, "Big sister, you don't have to thank me. If it wasn't for Yan Yongchen, I would never have been able to save Mingxin. If it wasn't for Yan Yongchen, I might not have survived."

Yan Muqing stared at Yan Muxi with tears in her eyes, not knowing the purpose of her saying these words.

Yan Muxi had no other purpose but to tell Yan Muching that the Weiyuan Marquisate was not innocent, the Xue family was not innocent, and the Su family was not innocent. Their biological father Yan Yongchen was not a born bad guy, but a poor man driven by fate and should not be trampled upon and spit on.

After learning the reason, Yan Muqing remained silent for a long time.

The demise of the Wu Yue clan was caused by the Su family. Emperor Yuanjing and Marquis Weiyuan took charge, and the Xue family cleaned up the mess. There were indeed no innocent people.

If the descendants who were innocently implicated are innocent, then the old, young, sick and weak of the Wu Yue tribe who were brutally killed are also innocent.

So, when it comes down to it, everything is cause and effect.

After the sentimental moment, Yan Muxi was about to ask Yan Muqing again whether he wanted to leave with her, when a violent coughing sound suddenly came from the room.

Yan Mucheng quickly stood up, gave her an apologetic look, and hurried into the house.

Yan Muxi thought about it and followed him into the house. In the current situation, it would be old-fashioned to be too concerned about the separation between men and women.

Because there were no windows, the light inside the thatched hut was very dim. Looking inside the house, there was only a wooden bed, a lame square table and a simple stove.

Yan Muxi felt that the scene before him vividly demonstrated what it meant to be penniless.

Yan Muqing skillfully helped the frail Yu Jintang up, made him half-lying down, and helped him to slap out the phlegm in his throat.

After a while, Yu Jintang's coughing gradually stopped. He looked up and saw Yan Muxi, staring at her for a long time. He then looked at Yan Muqing, and seeing that Yan Muqing looked embarrassed, he confirmed that he was not hallucinating.

After the shock, he called out in a hoarse voice, "Auntie Wang!"

The man lying on the bed was skinny, with sunken eye sockets and an abnormally flushed face. He no longer looked like the bright and cheerful young man he once was.

Yan Muxi subconsciously wanted to call him His Highness, but quickly changed her words when it came to her mouth, "Brother-in-law, it's me. But I'm no longer the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Rong, so you can call me Madam Qian, or Sister Qian."

The blush on Yu Jintang's face faded, and his yellow complexion actually revealed a dead look. He looked up at Yan Muqing and said breathlessly, "The relatives are here. Qing'er, go get some water and boil a pot of hot water to entertain the guests."

Yan Muxi quickly refused, "Don't bother, I'm not thirsty."

Yan Muqing still went out as he was told, leaving only Yan Muxi and Yu Jintang in the room.

Listening to the footsteps going away, Yu Jintang looked at Yan Muxi and begged, "If I'm gone, can you help and take care of your elder sister?"

"Big sister and I are sisters. Even if big sister's husband doesn't ask me to do so, I will still take care of her. If big sister's husband believes me, he will listen to my advice. Now is not the end of the road, but a time to see the light. Everything will be fine. If big sister's husband really cares about her, he will take good care of her and wait for the day when the three of us can be reunited."

Just make it clear, Yan Muxi said, then turned and walked out. When he left the house, he saw Yan Muqing standing outside the door.

Yan Muqing smiled bitterly, covered her lips with her fingers, and pulled Yan Muxi outside the fence to talk.

"Don't take his words to heart, second sister. I will persuade him well." Yan Muqing's tone was helpless and embarrassed.

Yan Muxi frowned unhappily, "I see, elder sister, please stop trying to persuade me, and stop hesitating. Come with me and leave here today! It doesn't matter if elder sister has to endure a few more days of hardship, but if elder sister's husband's illness is delayed any longer, Mingxin may never see her father again."
