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

Mu Qingwan angrily threw down the pot and walked over: "Lin Xiaoxiao, you gave my food to them, so what am I supposed to eat?"

Lin Xiaoxiao looked up at her: "Did you hear what that lady said to me just now?"

When the rice I cooked reached her hands, I could still hear her say a few words of gratitude.

Isn't it better than giving it to you, you ungrateful wretch?

Mu Qingwan glared at Lin Xiaoxiao for a while, then stormed outside!

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't care at all and put a piece of braised pork into her mouth.

After finishing her meal, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly noticed a little boy with a chubby face standing at the gate of the courtyard, peering inside.

When the little boy saw that Lin Xiaoxiao had noticed him, he quickly pulled his neck back.

But after a short while, it quietly peeked out again.

Then, we saw an enlarged version of Lin Xiaoxiao's face.

"Ah~!"

The little boy was so frightened by her that he fell to the ground.

The guards at the gate glanced at them and said, "Whose kids are these? What are you doing here? Go, go, go home."

The little boy was startled by the yamen runner's shouts.

But they refused to leave.

Lin Xiaoxiao crouched down and looked at the little boy, asking softly, "Little boy, what are you looking at in here?"

The little boy hesitated for a moment, then said timidly, "My rabbit, my rabbit ran inside."

Lin Xiaoxiao looked back at the yard in confusion, but did not see the rabbit the little boy had mentioned.

Lin Xiaoxiao turned to look at the little boy: "Kid, there are no rabbits here. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

The little boy said anxiously, "No, no! I saw it run in with my own eyes."

Lin Xiaoxiao: "Okay then, tell me, what does your little rabbit look like?"

"Let me go look for it for you!"

The little boy was overjoyed: "Really? My rabbit has red eyes and sharp teeth."

It can jump very high, but it can't talk.

Lin Xiaoxiao was amused by his words: "You silly child, of course rabbits can't talk!"

"Yes! That's what my mother said too."

"Okay, then you wait here! I'll go in and take a look, and if I find it, I'll bring it to you!"

Then Lin Xiaoxiao turned to the little boy and asked, "By the way, what color is your rabbit?"

"Color?" the little boy asked, puzzled.

"It's the color of its fur!"

"It has no fur!"

"No fur?" Lin Xiaoxiao imagined a furless rabbit in her mind.

That really doesn't look good.

Thinking about how cold it was, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the little boy and asked, almost threateningly, "Did you shave the rabbit's fur?"

The little boy quickly waved his hand and said, "No, it wasn't me! It's just that he doesn't have hair."

"Alright, you wait here! I've never seen a hairless rabbit before!"

If I find out you're lying, I'll rip your ear off.

Lin Xiaoxiao's words to scare the little boy made Song Wenjing burst out laughing.

Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at him but didn't say anything, and went straight to find the rabbit.

She has now looked around the yard and confirmed that there is no sign of rabbits.

Then I noticed a small, dilapidated house in the corner of the yard, where no one was resting.

Lin Xiaoxiao wondered if the rabbit had run into that room, so she went straight there.

The room was drafty, and as soon as Lin Xiaoxiao looked inside, she indeed spotted a pair of red eyes.

But those eyes seem a bit too big for a rabbit.

Just as Lin Xiaoxiao was about to get closer to take a look, the rabbit inside suddenly pounced on her.

"careful!"

Song Wenjing quickly pulled the people away and then headed towards the red light.

The fighting inside the house stopped very quickly.

Only then did Lin Xiaoxiao realize that Song Wenjing had subdued a rabbit.

That was clearly a little boy!

The commotion here also attracted the attention of the yamen runners.

"What are you doing? What happened here?"

Just as the constables approached, Song Wenjing was about to pull the little boy he had captured out.

But a beam of light from outside shone on the little boy's face, and when he saw the boy's face clearly, he stopped what he was doing in shock.

She murmured in surprise, "Tan'er? What, what happened?"

How did you get here, and how did you end up like this?

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't understand who Tan'er was that Song Wenjing was talking about, but judging from his behavior...

He knew this little boy was very important to him.

Just as the guards were about to enter the room, Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly went to the door and said, "Hey, nothing happened inside."

"It's just that my husband and I had a little disagreement; you don't need to make a fuss about it."

The constables stared at Lin Xiaoxiao for a while and realized that she didn't seem to be lying.

So he gave a couple of warnings and left.

After Lin Xiaoxiao re-entered the house, she hurriedly went to Song Wenjing's side.

Curious, he asked, "Hey, what's going on? Do you know this little boy?"

Song Wenjing looked at her solemnly and nodded.

"This is my sister's child, her name is Yutan!"

He disappeared in Beijing three years ago. We searched everywhere, but we couldn't find any clues about him.

I never expected to see him in this remote little village today.

Lin Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, "Sister? Where are you from? Are you related to any uncle or niece?"

But Song Wenjing's next words made her even more confused.

"She's my eldest sister! My own sister, born of the same mother!"

Without even thinking, Lin Xiaoxiao retorted, "Song Wanqing? How could this be her child?"

Song Wenjing frowned and looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with concern: "Song Wanqing is my second sister, and my eldest sister is named Song Wanle."

Xiaoxiao, what's wrong? How could you forget about this?

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao felt the entire scene instantly fall silent.

All that's left is a heart full of doubt!

what on earth is it?

In the book, Song Wenjing only had two older sisters, and there was no nephew who suddenly appeared during his exile.

What exactly is different?

Could it be that my arrival here has changed some of the original plans?

Although he orchestrated the exile of the Lin family, these were all changes that occurred after he arrived here.

The little boy looks to be six or seven years old.

It's about the changes that occurred before I came here.

Furthermore, I am merely occupying the original owner's body; I am not some character who appeared out of thin air.

It shouldn't disrupt the original course of events.

Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head vigorously.

Oh well, I already messed up the original route on my first day here anyway.

And no matter what changes occur in the future.

I am now capable of protecting myself.

She looked at Song Wenjing seriously and said, "Are you sure this child is your eldest sister's?"

Song Wenjing: "I'm sure, but are you alright? You don't look too good!"

Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head: "It's alright. Our main concern right now is how to explain his existence to the guards!"

Song Wenjing squatted down, looking at the little boy in front of her with heartache.

I used my hands to tuck his dirty, messy hair behind his ears.

He said in a deep voice, "I will find a way to handle it. From now on, Yu Tan will accompany us on the road."
