Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

For the rest of the day, the old Xiao family caused Ge Chunyi to nearly break down.

Eldest Grandson Xiao and the others took turns to either spill tea or soup on Ge Chunyi's injured leg.

Or they paid people to catch mice and snakes and throw them into Ge Chunyi's room at night.

They also splashed water on Ge Chunyi's charcoal.

The next day, his charcoal would not be able to catch fire in the carriage, or it would cause him to choke.

Ge Chunyi asked the Xiao family for charcoal, and they naturally refused to give him any.

So Ge Chunyi could only wrap himself in a quilt and a fur cloak and tremble in the carriage.

The further they went to the northern border, the colder the weather became.

Even the Xiao family members were shivering from the cold when they were roasting the braziers, not to mention Ge Chunyi, who was often unable to do so.

His injured leg hurt badly every day.

He could not help but regret it.

If he had known earlier, he would have waited until spring to come to the northern border.

Fortunately, he had brought a doctor with him and often applied medicine to his leg.

Otherwise, he felt that he would have died on the way to the northern border.

His heart was also grateful to his sister and brother-in-law because of this.

He did not know that his good brother-in-law was afraid that he would die midway and could not explain to the emperor and Ge Chunru, so he invited a good doctor for him.

At the same time, Ge Chunyi also hated the people of the Xiao family to the core.

After more than twenty days, they finally arrived at the northern border.

Because of Xiao Yuanshi's instructions, the process of appointing him as the county deputy was very smooth.

The county magistrate was also very polite to them and even arranged for the Xiao family to stay in a courtyard behind the county office.

However, the Xiao family who had so much money in their hands did not fancy such a small courtyard.

Therefore, they spent money to rent a large courtyard with a few entrances and exits.

Ge Chunyi, on the other hand, took the initiative to suggest that they go live in the courtyard arranged by the county magistrate.

First, he was afraid of the Xiao family on the way here.

He really did not want to continue staying together.

Secondly, he also wanted to make a good impression in front of the county magistrate.

That night, Ge Chunyi asked his servant boys to clean up and also asked them to carry the few book boxes into the room.

After the servants left, he took out the books from the bookcase and used a dagger to pry open the bottom layer.

He was prepared to take out some silver notes and make connections in the county office.

However, he did not expect to find anything inside after opening it.
