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

Lin Xiaoxiao looked around the crowd but couldn't find Song Wenjing.

"Yesterday, an imperial edict was issued from the palace, and Jing'er should be imprisoned immediately."

I didn't tell you yesterday because I was afraid you would worry, but now I can't hide it anymore. You've been implicated by the Song family.

I am truly ashamed!

The old lady answered Lin Xiaoxiao's question without turning her head.

She frowned, her brows furrowed with apology towards Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao was somewhat surprised, after all, her reputation before marrying into the Zhenguo Mansion was not very good.

I never expected to be protected by this old lady like this.

Lin Xiaoxiao took the old lady's arm: "Grandmother, you're overthinking it. Xiaoxiao doesn't feel like she's been implicated."

Now that she had married into the Song family, Xiaoxiao was naturally prepared to stand by them through thick and thin.

The old lady looked her up and down after hearing her words.

They seemed to disbelieve that she would say such a thing.

He then smiled with satisfaction; this girl was exactly what he wanted.

"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and change your clothes!"

The eunuch urged impatiently.

The people in the Zhenguo Mansion did not resist and followed them into the room to change into prison clothes.

When changing clothes, the jade pendant at the man's waist and the hairpin in the woman's hair were removed and put away.

"Pah! How can a bride who just got married yesterday be so shabby?"

She wasn't wearing a single piece of jewelry!

The old woman who was changing Lin Xiaoxiao's clothes looked at the clothes in her hands, her fat face full of disgust.

Originally, when changing their clothes, I could secretly hide some for myself to line my own pocket.

The plump old woman was incredibly resentful, never expecting to be so unlucky.

Hmph, I deliberately put all the ornaments into my spatial storage and even changed into a coarse cloth outfit.

My things will never be given to you for free.

Only then did the old lady, Madam Chen, and Lin Xiaoxiao's mother-in-law, Madam Su, notice Lin Xiaoxiao's attire.

With the incident that just happened in the manor, no one noticed how Lin Xiaoxiao was dressed.

However, this girl is dressed too shabbily. Could it be that Wen Jing has wronged her?

The old lady recalled Lin Xiaoxiao's obedience earlier, and her hands itched with desire, wishing she could grab Song Wenjing's ear and interrogate him.

"Here you go. Since you're so unpopular, you won't get anything good from me."

"Consider this prison uniform a reward from your mother!"

The plump old woman who was changing Lin Xiaoxiao's clothes handed her a prison uniform with tears and holes.

"How can anyone wear this? It's practically naked."

How could you humiliate us like this?

Su had already changed into prison clothes and walked over angrily.

Even if he had no feelings for this girl, she was now a member of the Zhenguo Mansion.

How could I just stand by and watch her be humiliated? It would be the Zhenguo Mansion that would lose face.

The old woman smiled wryly and said, "I feel that these clothes are very suitable for you, and they match your current status perfectly!"

Lin Xiaoxiao picked up the garment with her index finger and thumb and said teasingly, "Does Granny really think that such clothes should be shown to people?"

"Why not? If you don't want to wear it, then go and see the Emperor."

Let's see if the Emperor will reward you with a yellow riding jacket! Hahaha!

After the old woman finished speaking, she and everyone in the room laughed.

The old lady was so angry at their unreasonable behavior that she trembled all over.

Mrs. Su and her two daughters rushed forward to take care of her.

Tear!

Suddenly, the sound of clothes tearing rang out from inside the room.

Lin Xiaoxiao tore a large piece of fabric off the old woman.

"Ah, my clothes! You bitch, how dare you!"

The old woman roared and raised her hand to hit Lin Xiaoxiao.

But Lin Xiaoxiao grabbed his wrist and slapped him twice in return.

After Lin Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she continued to tear at the clothes on the old woman's body.

"At such an advanced age, he doesn't know how to behave properly; he clearly needs a proper education."

"The Zhenguo Mansion has been loyal for three generations; is it really protecting scum like you?"

Lin Xiaoxiao was very strong. When the nanny next to her saw this, she tried to help but was pushed aside.

After venting her anger, Lin Xiaoxiao, panting, tidied her hair.

Only when Lin Xiaoxiao stopped did the other nannies dare to take the clothes and drape them over the fat nanny.

The plump old woman pointed at Lin Xiaoxiao with trembling hands: "You, how dare you?"

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't seem to care: "What's wrong? Isn't this the style you like, Granny?"

The old woman was speechless with her own words. She wanted to fight back, but she couldn't win.

Enraged, she stormed out of the room. The remaining nannies, not daring to provoke Lin Xiaoxiao, quickly gave her a clean set of prison clothes.

As soon as everyone changed their clothes and came out, they found that the outside was in complete chaos.

"Song Huai'an, how dare you hide all your valuables?"

Are you trying to make things worse for them?

Although Song Huai'an had changed into prison clothes, he couldn't hide the righteous air about him.

Song Huai'an gave them a sarcastic look: "Hmph! You came to deliver the imperial decree before dawn. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have had time to hide the treasure."

Although my household is not wealthy, how could it be completely empty as you claim?

I think you're trying to pocket the money, that's why you're saying such a ridiculous thing!

The eunuch who came to deliver the imperial decree had just sent people to search the Zhenguo Mansion, but they didn't even find a single grain of rice.

Now, Song Huai'an is not only performing here, but he's also throwing mud at himself.

Enraged, he disregarded the emperor's decree and immediately ordered Song Huai'an to be executed.

Upon hearing this, Song Huai'an showed no fear whatsoever.

君要臣death,臣不得不death!

Serving the Apocalypse Kingdom seems to have become a habit for him.

The only thing that pained him was that he had implicated his family.

Seeing the cleaver coming at him, Song Huai'an resignedly closed his eyes.

But instead of death, they heard the sound of swords hitting the ground.

He opened his eyes and saw that it was his newlywed daughter-in-law who had snatched the sword from a guard and threw it at him, knocking away the broadsword that was about to strike him.

"Huai'an!"

Old Madam Chen walked over with a look of lingering fear, hugged Song Huai'an's shoulders, and began to cry.

Song Huai'an's hands were chained, and he let his mother hold him.

He glanced at his wife and two daughters who were crying in the yard, and his mother who should have been enjoying her old age.

Even though men don't easily shed tears, I couldn't help but get teary-eyed!

How could this be?

Most of the Tianqi Kingdom's territory was won by him and his father and grandfather through bloody battles.

After winning the battle, the Tianqi Kingdom gradually ushered in a period of prosperity and development.

Having successfully retired, Song Huai'an did not hold a grudge even though his power was gradually being undermined.

Unexpectedly, the Emperor was so intolerant of them.

"How dare you, Lin Xiaoxiao, resist me!"

As soon as the eunuch spoke, the guards in the courtyard surrounded Lin Xiaoxiao.

Upon seeing this, the old lady angrily shouted at her second son's family, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and help Xiaoxiao!"

However, after glancing at the guards beside them, the members of the second branch of the family were all so frightened that they shrank back and dared not make a move.

The old lady was heartbroken by their reaction and was about to go over to help Lin Xiaoxiao.

Then another wave of soldiers stormed into the Zhenguo Mansion.

The head eunuch rushed in, his face full of panic, and shouted, "Master, something terrible has happened! The palace has been robbed, and the Emperor is furious! You must go back immediately!"

The royal palace has been robbed!

These four words shocked everyone in the courtyard.

The palace was heavily guarded, and the emperor was furious; the lost item must be very important.

I wonder who has such great ability to come and go freely in the palace.

The imperial eunuch, displeased, looked at the young eunuch: "You panic like this over the smallest thing? What exactly is missing from the palace that has scared you out of your wits?"

The young eunuch stared intently at his master and replied tremblingly, "It's empty. The entire palace has been emptied."

Even the emperor's dragon throne was taken away!

"Master, please come back to the palace with me quickly. The Emperor is furious right now, and it would be bad if we were implicated."

The little eunuch's words were like a bomb, shocking everyone in the courtyard again and again!

Although the eunuch delivering the imperial decree could not believe it, the expression on the young eunuch's face did not seem like he was lying.

My heart instantly panicked.

If what he said is true, then the most important thing I should do now is to return to the Emperor's side as soon as possible.
