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

Lin Xiaoxiao released the carrier pigeon and had Song Wenjing reply to the message.

While traveling, I paid attention to the situation in the sky every day.

They were afraid of missing any important information.

While feeling bored, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly noticed the carriages of the caravan behind her.

A graceful and elegant woman stepped down, accompanied by a lively and charming young girl.

After they got off the carriage, they quickly walked to Song Huai'an, who was standing guard beside the cart.

When Song Huai'an turned around and saw them, he immediately showed shock.

They said something to each other, and Song Huai'an's expression became somewhat conflicted.

The woman smiled gently, gave a curtsy, and then left.

Before leaving, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao, but it was more accurate to say that he was looking at Song Wenjing next to Lin Xiaoxiao than at Lin Xiaoxiao herself.

After the woman left, Song Huai'an's mood became noticeably heavier.

Lin Xiaoxiao knew that this woman was definitely not simple to Song Huai'an.

This is also part of the other side's strategy to restrain Song Huai'an.

However, recalling the look in the woman's eyes when she looked at Song Wenjing before she left...

Lin Xiaoxiao felt that something was wrong.

It's like, it seems.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know how to express it, she just felt that something was strange.

As she looked away, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly saw Su Shi in another carriage, glaring angrily at Song Huai'an.

It seems that Song Huai'an is now facing both internal and external troubles.

Do you know the mother and daughter who were looking for their father earlier?

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Song Wenjing with a gossipy expression.

"know!"

"You know them? Who are they?"

Lin Xiaoxiao was just asking out of curiosity, but she didn't expect that Song Wenjing actually knew him.

Song Wenjing said calmly, "She is an old friend of my parents. That woman's husband is my father's savior."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but quickly turn around and glance at it.

The mother and daughter had already boarded the carriage.

After sitting down, Lin Xiaoxiao murmured, "I never expected that he would be my father's benefactor. No wonder he was in such a dilemma."

That evening, they found a post station, but unlike the others, this one was dilapidated.

In the strong wind, it looked as if it might collapse at any moment.

"Is this place even habitable?"

Lu Hu: "It's better than sleeping on the streets, let's go inside!"

Although the inn looked dilapidated from the outside, it was quite clean inside.

As before, those with money could stay in the communal dormitory, while those without money had to sleep in the stables outside.

In this weather, no one is reluctant to spend money.

They all took out silver and handed it to Lu Hu.

Lin Xiaoxiao still spent a lot of money to book a superior room at the inn.

Before going upstairs, she looked back at Lu Hu with a satisfied expression as she looked at the silver in her hand.

It seems I should really settle accounts with him tonight for how he schemed against Lin Wanwan for me.

Lu Hu, who was happily holding the silver, suddenly felt a chill down his back. He shrank his neck, put away the silver, and went upstairs to rest.

After quickly packing their things, Lin Xiaoxiao and the others had dinner in the lobby of the inn.

Unlike before, this time Song Huai'an specifically sat next to Madam Su and diligently served her food.

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled, knowing that Su was angry because of what happened during the day.

"You should eat quickly, or the food will get cold." Song Wenjing picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Lin Xiaoxiao's bowl.

He knew that this girl couldn't live without meat.

They didn't have to cook for themselves tonight. Liu, who was in charge of cleaning and washing, stretched and went to rest early after dinner.

Song Huai'an was still anxiously explaining to Madam Su when Madam Su suddenly covered her mouth and laughed.

This left Song Huai'an momentarily at a loss for words.

After laughing, Su looked at him coquettishly and said, "Do you really think I'm that petty?"

Song Huai'an looked confused: "Then why were you angry before?"

Su pursed her lips: "Who told you two to have entangled with each other before!"

Song Huai'an was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "You still say you're not stingy? That happened so long ago!"

Su: "Alright, tell me quickly what she wants from you this time!"

Song Huai'an looked at Su Shi for a while, then said with difficulty.

"This time she's not after me, she's after Wen Jing!"

Upon hearing that the other party was actually eyeing her son, Madam Su immediately retorted angrily, "My son? What exactly does she want?"

Song Huai'an glanced at his son not far away and said worriedly, "She wants to entrust her daughter to us! To marry Wen Jing."

Su was amused and looked at Song Huai'an, asking, "You can see that Wen Jing and Xiao Xiao have a very good relationship."

You didn't say yes to her, did you?

Song Huai'an frowned and said irritably, "No! I asked her to give me time to think about it."

Enraged by his words, Su cursed, "Consider? Consider my foot! You didn't even refuse her on the spot!"

After hearing the commotion, Lin Xiaoxiao and the others also looked over at the Su family.

Song Wanning rushed to Su Shi's side: "Mother, what's wrong? Did you make me angry?"

Song Huai'an didn't know how to answer, so he lowered his head and remained silent.

With red eyes, Madam Su looked at Song Huai'an and said, "You should know my answer. If you're having trouble bringing this up, I'll refuse on your behalf."

Song Huai'an glanced at her, then sighed and said, "No need, don't worry, I will handle it properly."

Midnight! While everyone was asleep, Lin Xiaoxiao quietly entered Lu Hu's room.

After slipping sleeping gas through the crack in the door, he covered his face and went inside.

Only one light was on in the room. After deliberately making some noise and confirming that Lu Hu was asleep, Lin Xiaoxiao began to search the room.

She had noticed this over the past two days; Lu Hu particularly cherished a small wooden box.

It's almost never out of my sight!

There must be a lot of jewelry inside.

Lin Xiaoxiao searched the house thoroughly but couldn't find the wooden box.

Then, she walked suspiciously to the bedside and sure enough, she saw Lu Hu holding that wooden box in his arms!

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled smugly after seeing this, and then snapped her fingers.

Lin Xiaoxiao put the wooden box in Lu Hu's arms into her spatial storage.

After taking his wooden box, Lin Xiaoxiao did not leave immediately.

Greed knows no bounds. Lu Hu, I gave you so much gold and silver, yet you still harbored thoughts of harming me.

Then don't blame me for being impolite.

Lin Xiaoxiao conjured a small porcelain bottle from her spatial storage, then opened the bottle and poured all the liquid inside into his mouth.

After you drink this medicine, you'll be able to rest well in bed from now on!

After Lin Xiaoxiao came out of Lu Hu's house, she suddenly realized that there were other people who were also suffering from insomnia.
