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

Seeing that things were not going well, Song Huai'an immediately said, "I'll go out and gather some firewood!"

Song Huaiting: "Wait, big brother, Shijun and I will go with you!"

"It's about to rain outside, so don't let Shijun go out," Liu said worriedly.

Song Huaiting glared at Liu Shi: "It's none of your business. He's already twelve, it's time for him to do some chores for the family!"

The weather outside was unpredictable, and Da Kui was also sent out by Song Wenjing to follow along.

Lin Xiaoxiao and the rest of the people began to use tarpaulins to block the cold wind from blowing in.

Although Song Yetong remembered not to provoke Lin Xiaoxiao, she couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks.

"Honestly, why would someone choose to live in a cave when they have a perfectly good house to live in?"

Lin Xiaoxiao: "I didn't stop you from living in a house!"

Song Yetong pouted and said, "But you've managed to fool everyone in the family."

Nobody's coming with me!

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "That's your problem, it has nothing to do with me!"

Chen tapped the ground with her cane: "Alright, if you're not going to work, then talk less!"

Song Yetong knew that Lin Xiaoxiao was now the most favored child in the family.

All I could do was stomp my foot in anger!

After setting up the cave, Lin Xiaoxiao checked the weather outside.

Now I'm certain of what I've envisioned.

"I'll go check if they've returned from gathering firewood."

After Lin Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she left the cave and ran straight out against the wind.

Just as Song Wenjing was about to chase after him, he was stopped by Madam Su.

"Don't go out and cause trouble for Xiaoxiao!"

Song Wenjing knew that his mother was referring to the injury on his back.

If I get infected after getting rained on, I'll make Xiaoxiao worry about me.

The dark clouds in the sky pressed lower and lower, with lightning constantly churning within them.

Lin Xiaoxiao took out an axe from her spatial storage and chopped the dead tree in half.

She was already quite strong, but her body is very weak now.

Her fair wrists revealed clearly visible blue veins!

After waving her arms a few times, Lin Xiaoxiao decided to get tired.

"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing here?"

Song Huai'an and his companions came over carrying some firewood.

But they were all dry branches picked up from the ground, and they were not usable at all.

They were even more surprised when they saw the axe in Lin Xiaoxiao's hand!

Where did you get that axe?

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't even blush, and said, "The cave entrance? I thought I might need it for chopping firewood, so I brought it over!"

Song Huaiting: "Huh? How come we didn't see it?"

"Xiaoxiao is lucky." Song Huai'an handed the firewood in his arms to Lin Xiaoxiao and said, "Take this firewood back with you first!"

Now that we have the axe, leave the rest to us!

Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly handed over the axe, as she herself didn't want to do the hard work.

But on her way back, she took out a rooster, a hen, and a dozen eggs from her spatial storage.

We can't mistreat ourselves!

After Lin Xiaoxiao returned home with these items, the women in her family were all speechless with surprise.

Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled, "What are you all still looking at? Hurry up and help me catch it!"

Su was the first to react and took the firewood from her hand.

She was extremely careful because there were eggs on the firewood.

Chen: "Where did you find all these things?"

"My granddaughter-in-law is so lucky!"

Lin Xiaoxiao sat down next to Chen Shi in a coquettish manner: "I don't know which farmhouse they blew here from."

I just happened to find it; it must be a reward from heaven for our suffering.

A few words made Chen burst into laughter: "Hahaha! You really know how to talk, girl."

Even Song Yetong couldn't help but exclaim, "Even so, you're incredibly lucky!"

Lin Xiaoxiao: "How about that? Aren't I amazing!"

After realizing what was happening, Song Yetong avoided her gaze.

Who is she smiling at?

Previously, her biggest idol was Song Wenjing, her older brother.

Although they were not siblings, Song Wenjing had always been a dazzling presence in her eyes.

His younger brother was spoiled by his mother and had no manly qualities whatsoever.

When I was a child, my older brother Song Wenjing always stood up for me when I was wronged.

In her eyes, no prince or crown prince could compare to her brother Wen Jing.

But this shining person was implicated by Lin Xiaoxiao and married her, a woman who made a fool of herself and was not favored at home.

While I sympathize with her plight, that doesn't mean I can accept or understand it.

That's why I always go against her!

But now, Lin Xiaoxiao, without him even realizing it, suddenly seemed to have a light in his eyes.

Yes! It's not her fault that she's not liked.

But why is such a good person not favored at home?

Just then, Song Huai'an and his companions returned with smiles on their faces, each carrying a large bundle of firewood.

"Why did you gather so much firewood?"

Song Huai'an laughed loudly, "This is all thanks to Xiaoxiao for finding the axe; otherwise, we wouldn't have had enough firewood to get through the night."

Madam Su exclaimed in surprise, "An axe? How did this girl manage to pick it up so well!"

Song Huai'an also looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and began to think.

Lin Xiaoxiao was about to say a few words in her defense.

Song Huai'an then said with a look of sudden enlightenment, "This Xiaoxiao must be our Song family's little lucky charm."

"Marrying into our family is a blessing in disguise."

Upon hearing Song Huai'an's words, Lin Xiaoxiao instantly realized that her worries were somewhat unnecessary.

They had barely exchanged a few words when the wind outside suddenly picked up.

A layer of dust instantly rose from the cave entrance.

Fortunately, the cave was quite large, and they had taken precautions at the innermost part, so they were not greatly affected.

Inside the dilapidated temple!

Lu Hu and his men had gathered a lot of firewood, and it was getting darker and darker outside.

They lit a fire in the center of the ruined temple.

As the group munched on the dry steamed buns distributed by the guards, they instantly felt a lingering sense of unease.

If they hadn't found this dilapidated temple, they would have been blown away by the strong winds outside.

Zhao Feng snorted coldly: "See? I told you it was nothing! Lin Xiaoxiao was just exaggerating."

None of them dared to offend the guard in front of them, so they hurriedly echoed Zhao Feng.

"Yes! That young lady from the Song family is worrying unnecessarily."

"After all, she's a woman, and she's hesitant and timid when she does things."

"The Song family is a military family, so how could they believe that little girl's words!"

"If they were truly from a prominent family, why would they be exiled with us?"

He had only been favored by the current emperor for a period of time because he had previously served the late emperor and had been fortunate enough to achieve some merit.

As Lin Wanwan listened to everyone's sarcastic remarks about Lin Xiaoxiao, her mood, which had been suppressed by Lin Xiaoxiao before, relaxed considerably.

Amidst a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, a torrential downpour descended upon the land.

The water was poured down as if it were free.

The dilapidated temple, already in disrepair, suddenly developed many leaks.

The drafty windows were already unbearable enough, but now they're starting to leak water too.

Everyone began searching for a place to take shelter from the rain.

However, the space inside the dilapidated temple was limited, and people quickly became crowded together.

"Hey, don't come over here!"

"Get out of here! Who touched my butt just now?"

"My baggage! Someone stole my package!"

"Help! Stop pushing!"
