The next day, after waking up, everyone lined up in the lobby to receive their meals.

Suddenly, I saw Lin Wanwan come down from the second floor of the post station.

Her face was flushed, and she didn't even glance at the people below.

He simply picked up the food box and went outside.

"What's going on? Why is Miss Lin coming downstairs?"

"Could it be that she's hooked up with some official? Look, she's carrying a food box in her hand."

"She couldn't even stand it after just starting out; what a wanton girl."

Lu Hu tapped on the table, interrupting everyone's speculation.

"Shut up, all of you, and eat your food properly."

"We'll set off immediately after we've eaten our fill."

Lin Wanwan returned to Lin Ziqian's side with the food box.

"So, what did the Third Prince say yesterday?" Lin Ziqian asked hurriedly as soon as they met.

Lin Wanwan blushed as she thought of the promise Chu Junze had made to her yesterday.

"Father, don't worry. The prince said that he will wait until he has real power."

He will definitely take us back, and this time he gave me a lot of money.

The road ahead won't be as difficult as before.

Lin Ziqian was overjoyed when he heard this, and instantly felt that his daughter was even more useful than his son.

The family ate happily, and when they set off again, they walked much faster than before.

"Sir, why are the Lin family members exempt from wearing chains and shackles?"

Under the Third Prince's orders, Lin Wanwan and her family were freed from their shackles and chains.

This has aroused doubts and dissatisfaction among many people.

Lu Hu cracked his whip fiercely: "Do I, your old man, need to give you an explanation for what I've done?"

"You all better hurry on your way, or I'll give you a good whipping."

When everyone saw Lu Hu's fierce expression, they immediately shrank back.

"It seems that this Lin family girl is very likely hooking up with Lu Hu, otherwise why would Lu Hu be so biased towards the Lin family?"

"Could it be that some important figure is protecting them?"

"How could that be? If there really were some important figure, why wouldn't they show up to back them up?"

"What you said makes sense. I really didn't expect that the Lin family girl would act so quickly."

Look at her when she came downstairs this morning, so smug and self-satisfied. I really don't know what she has to be so proud of.

The conversation in the crowd made Lin Wanwan's face turn deathly pale.

How could they possibly assume such a thing about themselves?

Qingyao wanted to stand up for her, but Lin Wanwan stopped her.

Chu Junze's identity could not be revealed to others, so he could only suffer in silence.

But it doesn't matter, I'll go back to the capital when the time comes.

I'll never see these people again, so it doesn't matter what they think of me.

Even so, Qingyao still swung her arm and walked up to Lin Xiaoxiao to show off.

"Oh dear, these chains are really tight and my arms are sore."

Now I finally don't have to wear it anymore, otherwise I would have had to suffer like you guys!

Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the smug Qingyao, rolled her eyes at her, and ignored her.

But Qingyao wasn't satisfied yet, so she went to Lin Xiaoxiao's side and deliberately stepped on her anklet.

I wanted to make her fall.

Lin Xiaoxiao felt her feet sink and her body become unsteady.

He quickly spotted Qingyao behind him and used the chain on his wrist to put it around her neck.

She fell to the ground along with him.

"Xiaoxiao!"

"Qingyao!" Lin Wanwan ran over worriedly.

Su Shi and Shen Wanning also rushed over to check if Lin Xiaoxiao was injured.

"Lin Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you? Can't you just shut up for a bit?"

After helping Qingyao up, Lin Wanwan began to scold Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao stood up from the ground with Su's help.

He rubbed his lower back and said, "Didn't you see that she deliberately came to cause trouble?"

Besides, who are you? What right do you have to tell me what to do? You're like a toad in March, croaking nonsense.

Lin Wanwan frowned, exuding a sense of oppression, and stepped closer to Lin Xiaoxiao.

"I don't care what you're thinking, you'd better not mess with me."

Why is Qingyao singled out you for making things difficult? Don't you even try to reflect on your actions?

Lin Xiaoxiao was utterly speechless. She laughed and scolded Lin Wanwan, "I'm not reflecting on you! Have I been too lenient with you guys? Have I spoiled you so much that you're all sick?"

Lin Wanwan looked at her with disdain: "That's enough, look at yourself now!"

Lin Xiaoxiao scoffed sarcastically, "What I look like has nothing to do with you? You really think too highly of yourself."

Seeing that their group had fallen behind, Lu Hu rode over on horseback.

"What are you doing?"

Upon seeing this, Qingyao quickly interjected, "It was Lin Xiaoxiao; she deliberately tripped me."

This is deliberately delaying our journey; adults must give her a good scolding!

Upon hearing this, Madam Su's face flushed with anger: "Why are you making trouble out of nothing, you silly girl?"

"Sir, it's not like that at all. They clearly came here deliberately to cause trouble."

Lu Hu didn't have time to solve the case for them here, but Lin Xiaoxiao was always the main character in every incident that happened these past two days.

So he raised his whip to lash her.

Su hurriedly hugged Lin Xiaoxiao.

Upon seeing this, Qingyao revealed a relieved smile.

But Lin Xiaoxiao was not afraid. She took out a gold ingot from her bosom and held it high.

Upon seeing this, Lu Hu quickly stopped.

Lu Hu stared intently at the gold in Lin Xiaoxiao's hand and asked, "Miss Lin, what do you mean by this?"

Lin Xiaoxiao shook the gold in her hand: "It's simple, we want to be like them and get rid of the chains on our bodies."

Lu Hu hurriedly dismounted and took the gold from Lin Xiaoxiao's hand.

He said with a smile, "These are all minor matters. We are already quite a distance from the capital."

From now on, everything is up to me, Lu Hu. Just come find me during your lunch break.

After saying that, he happily put away the gold and prepared to leave.

"Wait, Lord Lu," Lin Xiaoxiao called out to him.

"Anything else?"

"That's right, I can't bear to keep it from you because you're such a good person."

Actually, our argument just now started because I couldn't stand Qingyao scolding you.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Hu with a helpless expression.

"What?" Lu Hu jumped off his horse again.

However, after his anger subsided, he hesitated to attack Qingyao.

After all, the Lin family was the ones whom the Third Prince had offered to protect.

He didn't dare to move.

But this third prince is really stingy; he gave me an order last night.

There wasn't even a small reward.

She's not even as good as Lin Xiaoxiao in front of her.

"Since she's so ungrateful, let's put the chains back on her!"

In the end, Lu Hu didn't dare to discipline him.

Seeing Qingyao chained up again, Lin Wanwan was both angry and anxious.

The weather isn't very good today; the sky is overcast.

Everyone was wearing thin prison clothes, and the autumn wind was blowing.

Everyone's necks were hunched over and they couldn't straighten them up.

Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao striding away, Song Wanning asked in confusion, "Sister-in-law, aren't you cold?"

Lin Xiaoxiao, who was wearing thermal underwear, turned around and looked at her.

Her little face turned rosy, making her look just like a little doll.

Lin Xiaoxiao took out the clothes that Su had given her earlier from her bundle.

"I'm healthy, so I'm not cold. If you're cold, you can put this on."

We'll find a time later to buy some winter clothes in advance.

Song Wanning hurriedly declined, saying, "How can this be? These are my sister-in-law's clothes."

"You silly girl, if I told you to wear it, you should keep it."

"If I get cold, I'll find a way."

Lin Xiaoxiao forcibly put the clothes on Song Wanning.

While traveling, Lin Xiaoxiao secretly ate a few pieces of chocolate to replenish her energy.

During the lunch break, a sudden gust of wind blew up.

Everyone scrambled to find a place to block the wind.
