Before confiscating their property, they emptied the imperial city and exiled them!

Hearing this, Lin Wanwan on the other side also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Song Wenjing had previously expressed his goodwill towards her, her ambition was to become the Empress of Tianqi.

So I can only disappoint him.

"Hmph, what a shameless woman, has she never seen a man before?"

Qingyao spat fiercely at Lin Xiaoxiao's departing figure.

Lin Wanwan sighed: "Qingyao, why are you getting angry with her? She's just someone who's grabbed an olive branch and is trying her best to climb up to it."

But she didn't realize that some things can't be achieved simply by trying hard.

Qingyao: "Yes, Miss, you're right. How long can someone like her be so smug?"

After entering the post station, Lin Xiaoxiao was assigned to take care of Song Wenjing.

The others went out to queue for food.

“I have never been interested in your half-sister. I once subdued a frightened carriage on the street.”

She just happened to be one of the people I saved, and later people in the capital made wild guesses about the relationship between me and her.

But I felt there was no need to explain, so I just let them be.

Lin Xiaoxiao was tidying up her bedding when Song Wenjing, who was sitting at the foot of the bed, suddenly spoke up to explain to her.

Lin Xiaoxiao was confused: "You don't need to explain anything to me, I'm really not angry."

Song Wenjing suddenly became a little angry: "You are my wife, you must listen to my explanation."

"Okay, proud brother, I'll go check if they've gotten their food yet."

Lin Xiaoxiao was too lazy to argue with him and wanted to go out and find a way to take out the food from her space.

As Song Wenjing watched Lin Xiaoxiao's departing figure, his tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed.

She actually called herself "brother".

This girl definitely knows how to flirt.

Lin Xiaoxiao paid to use the inn's kitchen, and after closing the door, she had a good meal by herself.

He then took out a plump roasted chicken from his spatial storage and carried it outside.

As she carried the roast chicken toward the room, countless people along the way were tempted by its deliciousness.

After entering the house, Madam Su hurriedly greeted her: "Where did you run off to, child?"

"Come and drink your porridge, it'll get cold soon."

Then, when he saw the roast chicken in her hand, his eyes widened instantly.

"Where did you come from?"

Before Lin Xiaoxiao could explain, Song Yetong's old habit kicked in again.

Sitting there, he said sarcastically, "Your sister-in-law is so beautiful, I wonder how she got this roast chicken?"

Lin Xiaoxiao's face disgusted her at the sight of it.

Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at her indifferently.

You like playing the role of a manipulative woman, huh? Well, today I'm going to teach you a lesson.

Lin Xiaoxiao said softly, "I made this roast chicken myself. I spent a whole tael of silver and borrowed the restaurant's kitchen."

But does Sister Ye Tong have any other methods?

That little sister is so clever! Next time I'll save money and get to eat the roast chicken she brings.

Song Yetong was still an unmarried girl, and her face flushed instantly upon hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's words.

"what do you mean?"

"Why is my sister angry? Didn't you say so yourself?"

Did I say something wrong?

Su pulled Lin Xiaoxiao's hand: "You didn't say anything wrong, and you don't need to ask her for advice."

Come and eat with your mother. Since she's so capable, she naturally wouldn't want the roast chicken you brought.

Seeing her aunt defending Lin Xiaoxiao made Song Yetong even angrier.

He wanted his mother's help, but Liu was nowhere to be seen.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that my mother was gratefully accepting the chicken wings Lin Xiaoxiao had given her.

Just as Song Yetong was about to cry in desperation.

Suddenly, a piece of chicken appeared in front of him.

After looking up, she immediately said with a wronged expression, "Thank you, big sister. You're the only one in the family who loves me the most."

Song Wanqing took the chicken she had just received and walked over to hand it to Song Yetong.

"Why are you crying? Although we are not from the same mother, we are still family. Eat up!"

After saying that, she handed the chicken to Song Yetong and went to her dining area to take the chicken leg from the plate.

But as soon as he reached out, Su hit him hard.

Song Wanqing withdrew her hand and looked at Su Shi in confusion: "Mother, what are you doing?"

Su looked at her angrily: "I already gave you some chicken, why are you criticizing me?"

"But I didn't eat the chicken!"

"Whether you've eaten it or not, you can't touch the chicken on your plate now."

The meat has been allocated to you; how you do with it is none of our business, but the amount of meat here is carefully controlled.

Song Wanqing couldn't believe that her mother, who had always doted on her, would treat her like this.

She was so angry that she turned her head away and refused to drink any more porridge or rice.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't speak up for her when she saw this; if it weren't for Su's intervention earlier...

I would also step in to stop her from taking any more chicken.

Mrs. Su did not spoil her daughter, because she knew that...

Since his family fell into decline, he has suffered countless scornful looks from others.

Xiaoxiao must have had to put on a lot of smiles to be able to use the kitchen to bring this roast chicken to her family.

My silly daughter actually took the chicken and gave it to the person who had bullied Xiaoxiao earlier.

Of course, I can't spoil her.

Lin Xiaoxiao had already eaten her fill in the kitchen, but she couldn't resist Su's concern.

I forced myself to eat another chicken leg with a lot of meat on it.

Song Wanning looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with eyes full of stars.

After the meal, the second family members took the initiative to wash up.

Lin Xiaoxiao was so full that she fell asleep shortly after lying in bed.

Su still did not let Da Kui apply the medicine to Song Wenjing. After she applied the medicine to Song Wenjing...

Tears welled up in my eyes.

She stood up angrily, walked up to Song Huai'an who was already asleep, and slapped him across the face.

Song Huai'an was stunned by the blow, and when he got up, there was no one beside him.

Only Mrs. Su, who was helping her son get dressed, was still busy.

After seeing the injury on Song Wenjing's back, he felt guilty and lay back down.

In his dream, Song Huai'an returned to his youth, to the late emperor he respected.

Wearing majestic armor, they fight alongside him on the battlefield.

He never acts as a behind-the-scenes commander.

After the war subsided, the late emperor spoke to him.

"Huai'an, the world is at peace now. Look how happy and content the people of Tianqi are."

The late emperor stood on the city wall, his eyes filled with love as he looked at the people inside the city.

The scene shifts to a stormy night, where he receives the news he never wanted to hear in his life, inside the Zhenguo Mansion.

The late emperor has passed away.

He rushed towards the palace like a madman.

How could this be?

The world has just been at peace.

Inside the palace, the late emperor, whom he respected, removed his armor.

He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.

It lay there peacefully.

The emperor, with whom she had previously conversed amiably, could no longer presume to visit her, no matter how grief-stricken she was.

Then came the current emperor's ascension to the throne, after which he heavily relied on officials who could speak out against injustice.

The world was at peace, thanks to the military power held by Song Huai'an.

Song Huai'an relinquished his military power without keeping it for himself.

Because the previous emperor had planned to heavily rely on officials who could speak out against injustice.

But he never expected that the current emperor would be so wary of him, and that he and his family would end up like this.
