Song Wenchuan glared at Song He. "What are you talking about, little girl? Huh? Do you have the right to speak here?"

Although the others didn't say anything, when they looked at Song Yao, their eyes were filled with obvious blame and resentment.

Seeing those pairs of eyes full of blame and hearing what Song Wenchuan and the others said, Song Yao looked at them with a cold look in her eyes.

She opened her red lips slightly, her voice icy, "Uncle, Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle, everything I said yesterday was true, but you didn't believe me. Can you blame me for that? If you had listened to me then, the imperial decree of exile wouldn't have caught you all off guard!"

Song Yao's eyes were sharp. "Listen up, everyone! These supplies were prepared by our family. Your families didn't even contribute a bit. If you want to survive, you better behave yourself. Don't contradict us, and don't look down on any of the women among us!"

Song Yao glanced at those people, and finally locked her eyes on Song Jiaqi. "Uncle, to be honest, you are penniless. If you don't work together, you won't survive more than three days outside! As for us, we are absolutely sure that we can reach Fengzhou!"

Song Wenchuan was furious. "You think you are qualified to command us?"

Song Yao sneered, "Don't believe it? Then let's do this. Let's separate. Don't come looking for us in the future. Even if you die on the road, I won't send anyone to collect your bodies!"

Old Master Song silently glanced at the two mule carts filled with supplies. Song Yao was so confident that if he didn't listen to her, not to mention Song Jiaqi and the others, even he, an old man, would die on the road!

He is old and naturally doesn't want to die tragically outside.

After a long pause, Old Master Song said, "Alright, since Qingli is confident that she can take us to Fengzhou, we'll just listen to her from now on. You all should stop arguing with each other. We're a family now, and we're all in this together. We should help each other. Do you understand?"

Madam Song said, "Since we are a family, we must unite and work together. Only in this way can we overcome difficulties and reach Fengzhou safely! So, Jiaqi, Wenchuan, Liangji, from now on, let's all listen to Qingli and stop fighting among ourselves!"

Song Jiaqi, Song Wenchuan and others didn't want to be ordered around by a woman, so if possible, they would have wanted to drive Song Yao away!

However, now they were penniless, without food or water, and could not reach Fengzhou.

In order to survive, they had no choice but to listen to Old Madam Song and the others and promised to listen to Song Yao in the future!

Song Yao knew that they were only convinced in words but not in heart. She looked at Song Jiaqi and the others with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, and there was no ripple in her deep brown eyes.

"Uncle, second uncle, fourth uncle, and aunt, listen up, everyone! I'm only saying this once. If I ever find out who betrays me, betrays the team, or hurts anyone on the team, I will kick them out without hesitation! So, now that you're on this pirate ship, be obedient and don't let me down!"

Although she is just a woman, the aura she exudes is extremely oppressive.

They didn't know how a woman could have such a terrifying aura!

Song Jiaqi put his hands behind his back and looked at Song Yao and said, "Since we have already agreed, it proves that we will not do anything to betray you. On the contrary, you'd better be able to lead us to Fengzhou. Otherwise, if we find out that you are not competent, then we will choose someone else to lead us!"

Song Yao looked at Song Jiaqi. She smiled lightly, but her eyes were cold. "Uncle, if I'm not in charge of this team, do you have the money to buy supplies?"

"You!" Song Jiaqi was so angry that his eyebrows were raised, and there was an uncontrollable fire flashing in his eyes.

He was the dignified head of the Song family, and even his women didn't dare to disobey him. He never thought that this little girl would be able to control him!

Song Jiaqi looked at Song Yuanbai and said, "She has no respect for her elders and is extremely rebellious. Yuanbai, is this the daughter you raised?"

Song Yuanbai said calmly, "Brother, it's because you didn't believe her words that the Song family has fallen into this state. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being too self-righteous and arrogant."

Su Zhen said, "Brother, if she didn't have you, she wouldn't have brought you with her and wouldn't have cared about you!"

Song Jiaqi was so angry that he laughed, "You mean I should thank her, right?"

Song Yao pinched her brows and looked up at Song Jiaqi and the others, "It's getting late, let's set off first. We can talk about other things tonight."

Song Yuanbo was right. If they had listened to Song Yao yesterday, the forty people in the Song family would not have ended up like this!

Now that things have happened, there is no point in blaming anyone. They might as well think about how to survive in the future.

Song Yao said, "I only bought four carriages. Everyone, please squeeze in. There should be enough space. As for the servants of the Song Mansion, you can walk first. I will buy a few more carriages after we reach the next city."

Song Jiaqi snorted and got on the carriage.

The carriage is very big, so it is no problem for ten people to sit in it.

After everyone got on the carriage, the coachman drove the carriage towards Longxi.

Longxi is the first city leading to Fengzhou. After arriving in Longxi, they can purchase other necessary items.

Longxi is far away from the capital, and it would take four days to get there by carriage.

So they can only sleep outdoors tonight.

Song Yao couldn't let anyone be in danger, so after sunset, they stopped traveling and camped in the woods beside the trail.

The chefs and servants in the mansion started to cook.

We rode in the carriage for almost an hour. Although we weren't tired, the road was quite bumpy and no one felt comfortable.

They all got off the carriage and stretched their muscles around.

Nanny Chen walked up to Song Yao and nodded slightly, "Third Miss, the old lady has something to tell you."

Song Yao glanced at her and stood up from the stool. "Let's go."

"Yes." Nanny Chen brought Song Yao to one of the carriages.

Song Yao got on the carriage, lifted the curtain and got inside.

The carriage was as bright as day because a moon-shaped pearl the size of an egg was embedded on the roof.

Song Yao sat on the bench and looked at Old Madam Song across from her. "Grandma, Madam Chen said you wanted to see me for something?"

Old Madam Song nodded. She leaned against the hard carriage and looked at Song Yao and said, "Qingli, we should have listened to you yesterday. Otherwise, the Song family wouldn't be in such a mess!"

Sighing, Old Madam Song said, "However, I really didn't expect you to secretly prepare so many supplies. To be honest, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid our trip would be even more embarrassing. Maybe I, an old man, would even die on the road!"

Old Madam Song smiled slightly, walked over to sit beside her, and held her hand with a gentle and kind expression. "Qingli, now we can only rely on you. Please make sure to lead us to Fengzhou safely."

Song Yao said, "As long as they are obedient and don't mess around, I will take them to Fengzhou. But if they do anything bad on the way, Grandmother, I will not show mercy!"

This is ancient times, and you have been exiled. Add to that the constant natural and man-made disasters, and being a saint will only make your death more miserable!

She now has two babies in her belly. Even for the sake of the original owner and the children in her belly, she must stick to her principles to the end and never put herself in any danger.
