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

"Wow, what an adorable bunny!"

When Song Wanning saw Lin Xiaoxiao return with the rabbit, he was pleasantly surprised and went to greet her.

"This rabbit is so fat, Xiaoxiao is really good at it."

Song Huai'an also came over carrying a pheasant.

Lin Xiaoxiao knew how desolate the mountain looked just now, but she didn't expect Song Huai'an to be able to hunt prey.

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Dad is amazing too, how about we have chicken soup for lunch!"

"I'll do it!" Madam Su hurriedly stood up.

Seeing the bustling activity at the Song family's place, the surrounding refugees were filled with envy.

Lin Wanwan looked at her injured family members, as if she had made up her mind.

He walked towards Song Wenjing.

She said, twisting a silk handkerchief in her hand, "Young Master Song, your lunch will be chicken soup."

Could we have that rabbit? My grandmother and mother are injured.

"You need to nourish your body, Wan'er begs you."

Song Wenjing looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, who was playing with a rabbit, with doting eyes, when he heard Lin Wanwan's words.

Without turning his head, he said, "My wife hunted this rabbit. Why don't you go ask her? What are you showing off in front of me for?"

Lin Wanwan didn't expect Song Wenjing to say such harsh things.

I had heard about his sharp tongue before, but I never expected him to talk to me like that.

Didn't he admire her?

Could it be that he was seduced by Lin Xiaoxiao?

As expected, she couldn't compare to Junze. Even though Junze had two concubines, he still longed for her.

"Sister, may I give the rabbit you have to Grandmother and Mother to nourish their bodies?"

I could buy them with money; after all, they're your family too.

"I'm not selling. You can leave!"

Upon hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's words, Lin Wanwan couldn't help but clench her fists.

Why does Lin Xiaoxiao have the right to talk to me like that?

"It turns out I brought this humiliation upon myself; how could my sister be so heartless?"

Young Master Song, you'd better keep your eyes open, lest you have a poisonous snake by your side.

啪～！

A crisp slap.

Lin Wanwan covered her face in disbelief.

However, it wasn't Lin Xiaoxiao who did it.

It was Su Shi, who had just finished cooking, who came over and slapped Lin Wanwan.

Madam Su sneered: "Miss Lin is truly well-mannered. An unmarried girl comes over here to deliberately sow discord between other couples."

No wonder your mother seduced Lord Lin, leading him to commit such a despicable act of repaying kindness with enmity and abandoning his wife.

Lin Ziqian walked over, his face flushed: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's just a squabble between children."

How could Madam Song say such serious things?

“Even if it’s a matter between women, Lord Lin shouldn’t interfere.” Song Huai’an stood in front of Lin Ziqian.

The person was a head taller than him, and the warning in their eyes was palpable.

“莽夫！”

Lin Ziqian shouted angrily and pulled Lin Wanwan away.

Then Su lectured Song Wenjing, "You brat, next time you meet this kind of scoundrel who talks nonsense in front of you..."

"Just kick me out, do you hear me?"

Song Wenjing picked at his ear and put his arm around Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulder.

He assured his mother, "Don't worry, from now on I will only listen to my wife."

Seeing that her son and daughter-in-law's relationship had not been affected, Mrs. Su was finally relieved.

"Dinner's ready, come and eat!"

The family gathered together and each received two pieces of meat and a bowl of chicken soup.

Everyone soaked the dry steamed buns distributed by the yamen runners in the chicken soup.

After what just happened, the girl who had wanted to marry Song Wenjing as a concubine immediately gave up the idea.

Yet, she was also incredibly envious of Lin Xiaoxiao for marrying into such a good family.

The Lin family still managed to get a piece of meat.

Lin Xiaoxiao knew that this must have been given to Qingyao by Zhao Feng, the escort from earlier.

But now, Qingyao hasn't eaten a single bite.

Despite her injuries, she still had to boil water and wash dishes for the Lin family.

Lin Wanwan still acted like a young lady, comfortably enjoying Qingyao's care for her.

Because of the wind, everyone just wanted to find a sheltered place as quickly as possible.

So after finishing our meal, we set off immediately.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked up at the dark, low clouds in the sky and felt very uncomfortable.

The scene before me was like the apocalypse I had witnessed before, which made me very uneasy.

"Everyone, hurry up! It's about to rain, and we need to find a place to take shelter."

Lu Hu urged loudly on his horse.

The wind was blowing harder and harder, making it more difficult for everyone to travel.

The wind direction is unstable; sometimes it pushes people forward, and sometimes it hinders their progress.

"Brother, there's a dilapidated temple ahead, and there's a cave next to it."

Just as everyone was struggling to make their way, the yamen runner who had gone to scout the way brought good news.

Everyone was thrilled when they heard that.

They hurriedly followed the constables on their way.

When they saw the dilapidated temple, they all excitedly ran over to it.

Looking at the constantly changing wind direction, Lin Xiaoxiao walked over to Lu Hu and offered her advice.

"Lord Lu, I suggest that everyone stay in the cave tonight."

The wind direction is wrong; there might be some danger.

Before Lu Hu could speak, Zhao Feng walked over and mocked, "What danger could there be?"

It was just a little wind; there's no door in that cave to block the view. You want us to freeze to death?

If you keep spreading these alarmist rumors, I'll beat you up.

As he was talking, Zhao Feng suddenly felt his feet leave the ground.

He looked up in horror and saw that he had been lifted up by the burly man who was standing next to Song Wenjing.

"Da Kui, put him down." Lin Xiaoxiao then turned to Lu Hu and said, "I have said what I needed to say. It is up to you, sir."

After Da Kui put Zhao Feng down, his legs immediately gave way and he collapsed to the ground.

Lu Hu gave him a disdainful look.

She then addressed the crowd, saying, "Everyone has heard what Miss Lin said. Now it's your choice!"

"Lord Zhao is right, what danger is there?"

"Exactly. After traveling all day, how can we get proper rest in that cave that's not windproof?"

Perhaps deliberately going against Lin Xiaoxiao, Lin Wanwan made the first choice.

Supporting Qiao Shi, he said, "Mother, let's go inside quickly, or there won't be a good place left."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately rushed into the dilapidated temple, fearing they wouldn't be able to get a good spot.

"If you want to be the first to stick your neck out, you should first consider whether you have the qualifications!"

Lin Wanwan scoffed and helped her mother walk over.

Su glared at her, then walked to Lin Xiaoxiao's side: "Xiaoxiao, we'll listen to you. We'll go stay in the cave."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Mother, what I said just now was indeed my guess."

Aren't you afraid that people will laugh at us tomorrow?

Su said nonchalantly, "What does it matter to us how he laughs?"

If you don't like it, have your dad beat him up. Come on, let's go to the cave.

And so, everyone except the Song family moved into the dilapidated temple.

Rumble!

The sky outside suddenly turned dark, accompanied by a deafening clap of thunder.
