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

Lin Wanwan said defiantly, "Since you have things to do, then send someone to take me away!"

But to her surprise, Chu Junze didn't even look at her, and instead turned his head slightly to give instructions to the guards beside him.

"Do as Miss Lin instructs."

His mind is in a mess right now, so it's good for Lin Wanwan to leave for the time being.

Lin Wanwan didn't expect him not to comfort her.

So he left without even saying goodbye.

However, Chu Junze did not notice at all.

After Lin Wanwan left, Chu Junze immediately ordered a return to the capital.

The gold mine also sent people to order a temporary halt to mining.

Release Lu Hu and the others.

He never intended to keep Lu Hu and the others; among those exiled this time were two ministers.

If they mysteriously disappear here, an investigation will reveal that their gold mine will also be exposed.

Lin Wanwan was taken to a place not far from the main group, and then the guard left.

They have now left the gold mine and found a place at the foot of a mountain for a short rest.

Lu Hu instructed his men not to mention the topic of gold mines again.

Even if a county magistrate intervened, those who dared to mine gold privately would still be punished.

They are definitely people we can't afford to offend.

Qiao Siyan was crying in Lin Ziqian's arms when her daughter suddenly appeared in front of her.

Qiao Siyan rushed over and hugged Lin Wanwan: "Wanwan, my daughter, you're finally back."

Seeing his mother so heartbroken because of him, and recalling Chu Junze's previous attitude towards him...

Lin Wanwan couldn't help but cry too.

Having long disliked Qiao Siyan's cuddling and acting coquettishly in her son's arms, Madam Gu couldn't help but interrupt them: "Enough! Now that everyone's back, hurry up and get something to eat!"

I wonder what delicious food Lin Xiaoxiao made; the aroma is wafting everywhere.

My stomach had been growling nonstop for a while.

Lin Xiaoxiao noticed that the weather was cold and there was nowhere to shelter from the wind.

So they started cooking hot pot to warm themselves up.

The points mall in the space is now available.

Lin Xiaoxiao bought a lot of seasonings and secretly added them to the broth.

Everyone gathered around, and the food warmed them up.

While fanning his mouth, Song Wanning said with satisfaction, "I've never eaten such delicious hot pot before!"

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled proudly: "Of course, this is my exclusive secret recipe. I'm the only one in the entire Tianqi who knows how to make it."

Song Yetong wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "It's so delicious! It's spicy but I can't stop eating it!"

On the other side, Lu Hu was enjoying the food that Lin Xiaoxiao had brought him.

He would steal glances at Lin Xiaoxiao every now and then!

What's wrong with this little girl?

She had been ignoring me before, so why would she bring me this dish this time?

Anyway, this hot pot is really delicious!

A cold wind blew, and many people didn't sleep well that night.

Many people still felt heavy-headed when they woke up the next day.

Due to the abnormal weather changes, everyone in the team was dressed in warm cotton-padded clothes that had been prepared beforehand.

"What kind of weather is this? It's freezing cold!"

"It's so cold now, I wonder how frozen people will be when winter comes."

"Grandma Song is so lucky, sitting on a cart and covered with a quilt!"

"She is lucky to have such a capable daughter-in-law as Lin Xiaoxiao."

"Yes! Even the unpredictable Lu Hu is now under the control of Lin Xiaoxiao."

"I heard that when we reach the next town, Land Rover will need to provide them with a horse-drawn carriage?"

With Lin Huaiming's support, Gu listened to the people around her praising Lin Xiaoxiao.

I felt very uncomfortable.

No matter what, she was that girl's grandmother.

Why should that old lady from the Song family enjoy this treatment on my behalf?

It's all my fault for having such a useless son who married a wife who can't lift a finger.

Aside from giving him a grandson, he was of no use whatsoever.

If it weren't for her, no matter whose woman her son married, he would have given her a grandson.

Therefore, the Gu family is not grateful to Qiao Siyan for adding another person to their family!

During the lunch break, Zhao Feng took out the food he had saved and brought it to Qingyao.

At this point, Qingyao was already able to walk on her own.

But he still doesn't look very well!

Zhao Feng looked at her with heartache: "Qingyao, it's all my fault for being so useless! When we get to the next town, I'll buy you some good things to help you recover."

After experiencing so much, Qingyao was warmed by Zhao Feng's words.

She smiled and nodded.

After Zhao Feng left, the food in Qingyao's hands was quickly snatched away by Gu Shi.

When Gu opened it, he found only a chicken leg and half a steamed bun inside.

He said with disdain, "That kid is really stingy, always bringing such a small amount of food. Who's going to eat that much?"

Qingyao frowned and said, "If the old lady doesn't like it, then give it back to me."

You know, the others can't even afford steamed buns!

Gu was surprised that Qingyao dared to speak to her like that, a habit she had developed before.

This caused her to lose her temper, and she raised her hand and slapped Qingyao.

After she finished hitting him, she glanced warily at Zhao Feng beside her.

Finding that he wasn't paying attention, he continued to lecture Qingyao with a stern face.

"You shameless slut, don't think you can talk to me like that just because you have a man backing you up!"

Even after being hit, Qingyao didn't dare to fight back!

With tears in her eyes, she suppressed the grievances in her heart.

Lin Wanwan had no time to comfort her; her mind was preoccupied with Chu Junze's attitude towards her that day.

She was perceptive and sensed the change in Chu Junze.

He didn't know how much longer he would have to travel on this road of exile, and what if another woman appeared by Chu Junze's side?

Lin Huaiming looked at the chicken leg in Gu's hand and couldn't help but swallow.

He urged, "Grandma, please feed me! I'm starving!"

Seeing her younger brother like this, Lin Wanwan said with disdain, "Eat, eat, eat! All you ever do is eat!"

"Can't you think of anything else?"

Madam Gu: "What are you saying about your brother, you brat?"

Faced with the Gu family's bias, Lin Wanwan turned her head away in annoyance.

Qiao Siyan knew that the old lady did not like her, so she did not interrupt.

He walked over to Lin Wanwan and hugged her to comfort her.

After dinner, Lin Xiaoxiao led Da Kui to find a lot of wooden sticks.

Under the curious gazes of the crowd, they were fixed to the four corners of the cart.

Then, Da Kui covered it with a tarpaulin, and a simple carport was completed.

Although it's not very sophisticated, it's still sufficient for basic wind protection and protection against light rain.

Then they traveled for another three or four days in the cold wind.

We've only just arrived at the next town!

Unlike before, entry into the city is now strictly controlled.

When it was Lin Xiaoxiao's turn, they learned about it from Lu Hu's conversation with the gatekeeper.

It turned out that the emperor had discovered that someone was illegally mining gold, and even the tenth prince had died inside.

Moreover, this matter also implicated the Third Prince!

In addition to the theft of the imperial city, the Wu family, the richest family in Pingcheng, was also robbed.

Therefore, the control over entering and leaving the city gates is now very strict, and one must undergo a thorough search before being allowed to leave.

After listening to their conversation, Lin Xiaoxiao, the culprit, swaggered in with the group and entered Moon City without any trouble!
