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

"Put them all in jail, and they can be exiled tomorrow when the time comes!"

After dealing with Lin Xiaoxiao and the others, the eunuch hurriedly went into the palace.

The steward of the Zhenguo Mansion and the old lady's maidservant all chose to be exiled along with their master.

They had no relatives in the capital and had always worked in the Zhenguo Mansion, where they had long regarded it as their home.

The old lady was deeply moved when she saw this, but she did not want them to follow.

After all, she was well aware of the dangers on the road to exile and didn't want them to suffer with her.

However, Steward Lu and Granny Zhang refused and knelt down, leaving the old lady with no choice but to let them stay.

After Lin Xiaoxiao and the others were imprisoned, they met with Song Wenjing in prison.

He leaned against the wall, his head down, so his expression was unreadable.

However, it is not hard to see that he was in low spirits, and the back of his prison uniform was stained with blood, which was clearly from whipping.

"My God, where is this place? There isn't even a bed?"

Tian, ​​the second wife, stood in the prison cell in despair, holding her daughter.

The old woman glanced at her but didn't say anything, instead sitting down on the dry grass on the ground.

The old lady had also served on the battlefield when she was young.

Therefore, I feel only disheartened, not uncomfortable, about my current situation.

"Mother, what are we going to do now? Are we really going to be exiled?!"

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Ms. Tian left her daughter and went to the old lady anxiously to ask her questions.

The old woman held her hand to comfort her: "Don't be afraid. As long as we are a family together, even exile is nothing."

Tian broke free from the old lady's hand, utterly devastated: "Nothing? Mother, you're making it sound so easy!"

As the imperial edict just mentioned, that is Qingzhou, a desolate land in the far north of the Tianqi Kingdom.

What good days can we expect in that barren place?

And we're not really in any trouble, it's just that my Rui'er is almost of marriageable age.

Now this has happened at home, what am I supposed to do?!

The entire cell was filled with Tian's wails, which soon attracted the attention of the jailers.

"What are you shouting for! Shout again and I'll rip your tongue out!"

After being scolded by the jailer, Tian became much more obedient.

But she kept staring at Lin Xiaoxiao.

In her eyes, Lin Xiaoxiao was a jinx; her whole family was exiled as soon as she married into the family.

Her eleven-year-old son and thirteen-year-old daughter shared the same thoughts.

The mother and her two children all stared at Lin Xiaoxiao with malicious eyes.

But Lin Xiaoxiao didn't care about them and was leaning against the wall with her eyes closed, resting.

Looking at her calm and composed demeanor, the old lady thought to herself with approval: "Yes, she is not arrogant or impatient in the face of adversity; she is the kind of person who can accomplish great things."

Inside the palace!

An obese, middle-aged man with messy hair sat blankly in the place where the dragon throne was usually placed.

The courtiers below, seeing the scene before them, dared not utter a sound.

Lin Ziqian stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is strange. If you ask me, someone must be interfering with the fortune of Tianqi!"

Lin Ziqian was still thinking about the task the Emperor had given him, so he wanted to take the opportunity to shift the blame to the Zhenguo Mansion.

But upon hearing his words, the emperor suddenly looked up and stared intently at him.

Seeing this made Lin Ziqian feel flustered and uneasy.

The Emperor slowly stood up from the ground, but his gaze remained fixed on Lin Ziqian.

Nemesis?

Indeed, Tianqi Kingdom has a nemesis, but it is not the Zhenguo Mansion.

It's Lin Ziqian!

Recalling the warning from last night, such a strange event then occurred in the palace.

The Emperor staggered to Lin Ziqian, pointed at him with a trembling hand, and said, "Arrest him!"

Although Lin Ziqian didn't understand why, he quickly knelt down.

He bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I do not know what crime I have committed to anger Your Majesty so much?"

"Crimes? Aren't your crimes minor?"

Then the Emperor recalled the dream from the previous night, in which he was told to keep Lin Ziqian away from Tianqi City.

He then issued a random order: "Last night I received a divine warning that you are the nemesis of our Apocalypse."

"Guards, confiscate Lin Ziqian's property and exile him. He will depart tomorrow with Song Huai'an and the others!"

Upon hearing the Emperor's words, Lin Ziqian was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

How could this be?

Before he could react and beg for mercy, he was dragged out.

The Third Prince, Chu Junze, stood aside and watched coldly, without saying a word in Lin Ziqian's defense.

Lin Ziqian was immediately imprisoned.

Lin Wanwan was currently shopping for household items on the street with her maid and servants.

My home was burglarized yesterday, but fortunately, I still have a lot of farmland and shops.

After selling it, at least we can still cover the household expenses.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Don't block my way while I'm handling this case!!"

A sudden appearance of a group of soldiers forced Lin Wanwan and her group to the side of the road.

Watching the soldiers hurrying away from her, Lin Wanwan felt a vague sense of unease.

Watching the soldiers walk away, Lin Wanwan frowned and said, "Qingyao, we've almost finished preparing everything. Let's go back now!"

"Yes!"

Qingyao followed obediently behind Lin Wanwan.

Before even returning to the Prime Minister's residence, they could see the same group of soldiers guarding the gate from afar.

Before long, Madam Qiao and the others from the Prime Minister's residence walked out with sorrowful faces, being escorted by soldiers!

Qingyao looked anxious: "Miss? What happened?"

Fortunately, Lin Wanwan quickly calmed herself down and couldn't bear to look at her mother who was being taken away.

He immediately said, "Let's go first and find Junze!"

Qingyao nodded firmly.

How could I forget that as long as the Third Prince is around, the Prime Minister's residence will be safe?

She had witnessed the Third Prince's affection for her young lady.

He would never let the young lady suffer any injustice.

Lin Xiaoxiao sat calmly in the corner, biting into the steamed bun the jailer had just given her.

The steamed bun in her hand was obtained by the old lady by using silver hidden in her hair to curry favor with the jailer.

At first, the second wife tried to stop them from sharing the steamed buns with Lin Xiaoxiao, but the old lady scolded her angrily.

"The food tastes bland, I don't want to eat!"

Song Yetong, from the second wife's family, threw the steamed bun on the ground in disgust.

"Tong'er~!" Liu, the second wife, hurriedly went to her daughter's side and picked up the steamed bun.

My daughter is only 13 years old and still very young. She was spoiled and pampered before. I never knew that this exile would be so terrible.

She had just noticed that the old lady only got two steamed buns for one tael of silver.

Song Yetong: "Mom, why did you pick it up again? It's so dirty! How can we eat it like this!"

"Tong'er, be good. We're not the same as before."

"Don't be willful, or your mother will get angry." Liu handed the clean steamed bun in her hand to her daughter.

Song Yetong didn't want to eat the dry steamed bun, so she vented all her anger on Lin Xiaoxiao.

"What a jinx! This happened on her very first day in the family."

After saying that, he spat hard at Lin Xiaoxiao.

Instead of reprimanding her, Liu looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with a reproachful gaze and comforted her daughter.

Lin Xiaoxiao stopped eating her steamed bun, stood up, and was about to teach this pretentious girl a lesson. She wouldn't let someone frame her like that.

But before she even got close, Song Yetong suddenly knelt down in front of her.

Lin Xiaoxiao found it somewhat amusing; was this person afraid of her and immediately admitted their mistake?

"Big brother, what are you doing?"

In the next cell, Song Shijun glared angrily at Song Wenjing.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked over upon hearing this and saw Song Wenjing, who had been in a low mood.

At this moment, it is looking at me with an unruly expression.

Before the gesture of launching the stone was even finished, Lin Xiaoxiao understood.

Song Wenjing said calmly, "She is my wife. Ye Tong spoke rudely to his sister-in-law."

"The lady is kind, but as her elder brother, I naturally have to teach her a lesson."

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at the boy in front of her, who was trying to appear mature for his age.

However? Is the lady kind?

He seems to have misjudged himself!

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Song Yetong kneeling in front of her, raised her hand again, and then slapped her hard across the face.
