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

After Qiao Siyan was carried out of the dilapidated temple, everyone disregarded the fact that someone had just died inside.

They still huddled inside to keep warm.

Lin Ziqian braved the cold wind and buried Qiao Siyan.

Lin Wanwan stood there like a puppet on a string.

She didn't know why things had turned out this way.

Why did my beloved mother suddenly leave me?

All of this is because of Lin Xiaoxiao; if she hadn't deliberately abandoned him in the woods...

How could he have encountered a wild boar and indirectly harmed his mother?

She's becoming increasingly uncontrollable.

She caused all of this, and she must pay for it with her blood.

Inside the dilapidated temple!

The roasted rabbit that Song Wanning was holding had gone cold, so Su reheated it.

Song Huai'an and other yamen runners were outside dealing with the wild boar.

Su brought him some food.

That evening, Lu Hu ordered his men to cook a large pot of meat.

Even though the pot was placed outside, the aroma still wafted into the dilapidated temple.

Lu Hu stood inside the house and pointed to the meat cooking outside.

"If you wish to improve your meals, you can exchange your silver for it now."

"One tael of silver for a bowl of meat and a vegetable pancake. If you want some, come here and pay to register."

Perhaps everyone had long been used to being exploited by Land Rover, because surprisingly no one thought it was expensive.

Almost every household went to him to exchange their bowl for a new one.

Lu Hu was overjoyed; besides the money he made from buying pork, he also earned a considerable amount.

Meanwhile, the Song family cooked a small pot of meat and then marinated the rest.

It was made into cured pork because it can be stored for a longer time that way.

Because the cured meat needed to be dried, Song Huai'an hung it on the edge of the outside of the cart shed.

It turned into a curtain of flesh.

Lin Wanwan also bought a bowl of wild boar meat from Lu Hu and carried it to Qiao Siyan's grave.

"Mother, it's all this beast's fault that you've been harmed. Your daughter is now bringing its meat to you."

I hope you won't resent your daughter; she didn't mean to harm you.

"If you have someone to blame, blame that bitch Lin Xiaoxiao. She's the one who ruined you."

Seemingly to put her mind at ease, Lin Wanwan shifted all the blame onto Lin Xiaoxiao.

While eating, Madam Gu couldn't help but complain, "They're all already dead, why waste a bowl of pork?"

It cost a whole tael of silver! They really don't know how to save money.

Lin Ziqian sat there blankly, seemingly not hearing his mother's words.

When Gu saw this, she couldn't help but sigh, wondering how she could have given birth to such a son.

Lin Xiaoxiao's appetite was not affected at all, and she stuffed the roasted rabbit meat into her mouth in big bites.

Song Wenjing sat beside her, always handing her water at the right time, and patting her back when she accidentally choked!

He would also carefully wipe the oil stains off her fingers after she finished eating.

Lin Xiaoxiao accepted his care without hesitation.

All I could see was delicious food!

Phew~!

Liu couldn't help but laugh.

Song Yetong looked at her mother with a puzzled expression: "What's making you so happy, Mother?"

Looking at Song Wenjing wiping Lin Xiaoxiao's fingers, Liu couldn't help but laugh and tease, "I'm amazed to see how skilled and meticulous Jing-ge is at taking care of people, someone who's always been careless and pampered since childhood. Haha~!"

After being reminded by Liu, Lin Xiaoxiao belatedly realized what was happening.

After a smile, she slowly withdrew her hand.

When did I become so accustomed to Song Wenjing's care?

Madam Chen covered her mouth and laughed, "I still remember Wen Jing once aspired to marry a female general!"

They say these girls in their boudoirs are too pampered, but now they've all been won over by our Xiaoxiao!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at Song Wenjing, who froze as he put down his handkerchief.

She hurriedly said, "That's all in the past, how could Grandmother still remember it?"

Liu: "Our Wen Jing is shy, hahaha~!"

The meal was spent amidst everyone's laughter and cheerful conversation.

After finishing their meal, Song Wenjing walked over to Lin Xiaoxiao, who was making the bed, and hesitated before speaking.

Lin Xiaoxiao ignored him.

Only after she finished her work did she stop and look at him, asking, "What's wrong? Did you need something?"

Song Wenjing suddenly grabbed his wrist and said anxiously, "What Grandmother mentioned during dinner was all about my youthful arrogance. You don't need to take it to heart!"

Seeing his anxious look, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly wanted to tease him.

She deliberately moved closer to him, looked up and asked in feigned confusion, "What did Grandmother say?"

Why should I take it to heart?

Song Wenjing frowned and looked at her with displeasure: "You don't care?"

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled slyly: "What do you care about? Or do you want me to care about something?"

Lin Xiaoxiao's reaction made Song Wenjing realize that he had been tricked.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't give him a chance to react. She broke free from his hand and ran outside to see how Song Huai'an and the others were processing the wild boar meat!

Song Wenjing smiled slightly and followed.

While everyone was still fast asleep, snowflakes quietly began to fall again outside!

The sleeping people seemed to sense the change in temperature and all huddled together to keep warm.

After feeling a little warmer, I was able to fall asleep peacefully again.

Lin Wanwan and the others had previously refused to squeeze in with everyone else.

Now that her mother is no longer by her side, she has no choice but to rely on Madam Gu and Qingyao.

Qingyao had grown up with her since childhood, so even if Lin Wanwan went too far, she still couldn't bear to ignore her.

He folded half of his blanket over Lin Wanwan before finally falling asleep.

That night, Lin Wanwan had a nightmare in which her mother questioned her in the dream.

Why did they abandon her and run away alone? Lin Wanwan was terrified and wanted to run, but she couldn't lift her feet.

She only woke up from her sleep after she had struggled free with all her might.

It was already dawn, and the yamen runners on duty had started boiling water to prepare rice.

Lin Wanwan then realized why she couldn't lift her feet in her dream.

It turned out that Qingyao was restless while sleeping and had pressed down on her own leg.

After moving Qingyao's legs away, she wiped away the sweat that had broken out from the shock.

However, this also made it impossible for her to sleep, and she glanced at Lu Hu, who was observing the road conditions outside the door.

I got up and walked over!

Lu Hu heard footsteps behind him and instinctively turned around.

Unexpectedly, it was Lin Wanwan. This girl always looked down on them, the yamen runners.

Why are you coming to me now?

Lin Wanwan approached and gave a symbolic bow: "Lord Lu!"

"What do you want from me?"

Lu Hu's tone was not good.

However, Lin Wanwan didn't care and calmly took out a stack of silver notes from her bosom.

This was the silver that Chu Junze had left for himself when he was in Rongcheng.

But none of this mattered when it came to avenging his mother.

Lu Hu's eyes widened when he saw it!

It seems this girl wants something from me.
