Unexpectedly, just two days later, their house was robbed, and the thief discovered the ginseng root that Fang Xiyue's father had hidden. Fang Xiyue's father caught the thief red-handed.
The news about the ginseng root in the Fang family quickly spread, and everyone came to know about it.
Fang Xiyue's father planned to sell the ginseng quickly, but someone was faster than him. There was a wealthy household in the county who claimed that the ginseng belonged to them. Not only did they demand Fang Xiyue's father to return the ginseng, but they also accused the Fang family of being thieves and falsely accusing them.
The county magistrate and the wealthy household colluded together, forcing Fang Xiyue's father to confess under torture. As a result, the whole family, including Fang Xiyue, was exiled to Zhengdao Village.
With their family assets depleted, they received some assistance along the way during their exile, but their journey was difficult. Fang Xiyue's father, who had been injured during the incident, remained bedridden most of the time due to his severe injuries and the exhaustion of the journey.
Without Fang Xiyue's father's labor, the burden fell on her mother and herself. Despite her mother's frail health, she worked as hard as she could during the land reclamation, but Fang Xiyue ended up doing most of the work.
They managed to earn enough to feed the family, but their lives were difficult. However, as long as they were alive, there was still hope.
Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse. Master Lan took an interest in Fang Xiyue.
Master Lan wanted Fang Xiyue to work in the pleasure house, serving the high-ranking officials.
Fang Xiyue refused, but Master Lan didn't want any trouble for the time being, so he didn't force her.
Similar to how he dealt with Shu Yu, he wanted Fang Xiyue to be unable to bear the heavy workload and willingly approach him, offering to go to the pleasure quarters.
However, after observing her for two days, Master Lan found that Fang Xiyue was exceptionally skilled in working on the wasteland as if the work wasn't challenging for her at all.
Master Lan felt annoyed and quickly found an excuse to assign Fang Xiyue to join the hunting team in the mountains.
Having followed her father in hunting since she was young, Fang Xiyue had no problem with going into the mountains. She even enjoyed it. The only concern was that she would be the only girl in the hunting team.
This worried Fang Xiyue's parents, but they couldn't stop Master Lan's decision.
They could only have Fang Xiyue disguise herself as a boy, darkening her face, and taking extra precautions to protect herself.
Initially, the members of Team Five were excited about having a young girl in their team. After all, they were all exiled criminals, and even though some were innocent, they had all committed crimes.
The men in Team Five couldn't help but have malicious thoughts about such a beautiful girl. However, Master Lan had warned them in advance, so they restrained themselves and reluctantly took Fang Xiyue into the mountains.
However, they looked down on her from the bottom of their hearts. Even before entering the mountains, they set several rules for Fang Xiyue, such as not allowing her to speak, scream, or wander around aimlessly. They even left her on the outskirts and planned to pick her up on their way back to the village, so as not to slow them down.
This led to Team Five being unaware that Fang Xiyue had grown up accompanying her hunter father and going into the mountains was a regular occurrence for her.
Two days ago, when Master Lan got into trouble, Fang Xiyue felt relieved. However, at the same time, she noticed that the way Team Five looked at her had changed. She began to feel scared, even though she was familiar with hunting. She wanted to go back to work on the wasteland.
Fang Xiyue was waiting, waiting to see if the new official envoy would be willing to listen to her.
