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

Because of the heavy snow, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't hear what the other person was saying to Lu Hu.

But judging from Lu Hu's appearance, he must have received quite a bit of benefit.

The group walked through the convicts and straight to them, then stopped in front of Lin Wanwan's carriage.

When they got closer, the group claimed to be sent by the Chen family of Youchuan, and Lin Xiaoxiao finally got a clue.

She must be Lin Miaoyu's daughter who is getting married.

People arrived before they even entered the city; it seems Lin Miaoyu still cares about the Lin family.

When Lin Huaiming grinned, he saw Lin Xiaoxiao standing to the side and turned his head away smugly.

Hmph, you dare to sever ties with the Lin family? You'll regret it.

Lin Xiaoxiao ignored him and returned to her carriage.

There were seven or eight people who came to pick up the Lin family, two of whom were on horseback.

Although he had money on him, he had not anticipated that the weather would be so extreme.

They were shivering from the cold, and their fancy clothes were of no use at that moment.

When they arrived at Youchuan, they relied entirely on their willpower to lead the person to a secluded courtyard.

When they knocked on the door, their faces pale, the guard didn't recognize them at first.

After recognizing them, they hurriedly welcomed Lu Hu and the others inside.

When Madam Gu got off the carriage, she immediately put on the same airs she had when she was at the Prime Minister's residence.

Lin Huaiming carefully helped her and led her into the largest room in the courtyard.

They hadn't bathed in a long time because they had no money, and coupled with living outdoors in the wind and rain, they smelled sour all over.

In particular, the first thing Lin Wanwan did was order a tub of hot water for a bath.

Although Lin Xiaoxiao and the others were living in a dormitory-style room, they didn't mind.

This is much better than sleeping in the open and eating in the wind.

That evening, Lin Xiaoxiao secretly brought Yu Tan to her carriage. Given the weather, it would be too late to leave him in the old carriage.

It will definitely get cold at night, so just in case, Song Wenjing has no choice but to stay and keep him company.

Because of the cold weather, Lin Xiaoxiao started cooking hot pot again.

Stimulated by the spiciness, the Song family members all broke out in a light sweat.

Lin Xiaoxiao secretly brought Yu Tan a bowl, and when the little guy saw it, the same nostalgic expression he had shown before reappeared on his face.

The little guy has been speaking very little lately, and his quietness is heartbreaking.

Lin Xiaoxiao stopped worrying about her mother's background. Even after understanding the situation, she knew she couldn't choose to return to that apocalyptic world.

Now that we're here, we might as well choose to live here properly.

Even if it's exile, isn't it just like a vacation?

Once I arrive in the city, I can finally put my skills to good use.

As Lin Xiaoxiao was watching Yu Tan eat, Song Yetong walked into the carriage with a worried expression.

"Sister-in-law, the Chen family has sent people, and they specifically asked to see you."

The Chen family, the family of that aunt's husband.

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "You stay here and watch over him, I'll go check on him."

After Lin Xiaoxiao got off the carriage, she saw Lin Huaiming standing there arrogantly with two servants behind him, their faces frostbitten.

Upon seeing Lin Xiaoxiao, he said with a disdainful look, "Hurry up and get ready, your aunt wants to see you."

I don't know why my aunt wants to see this wretched woman. She must have found out about her misdeeds on the road and wants to teach her a lesson.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at him: "So you're a messenger?"

Lin Huaiming's smugness vanished instantly. Actually, his aunt hadn't originally asked him to come, but Lin Huaiming took the responsibility upon himself so that his aunt could see his abilities.

Unexpectedly, in Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes, he became a messenger.

"Just say whether you're going or not, why all this nonsense?"

"Go, of course I'm going. Now hurry up and lead the way."

The tone was that of a master giving orders to a servant.

When Chen and Su heard that Lin Xiaoxiao was going on a trip, they couldn't help but feel worried. In their eyes, the Lin family treated Lin Xiaoxiao very harshly.

Song Wenjing knew Lin Xiaoxiao's abilities and seemed very relaxed.

Su walked over and said with concern, "Xiaoxiao, are you really going? Why don't you let Wen Jing go with you? After all, it's reasonable for him to pay a visit as well."

Song Wenjing suddenly realized that what Su Shi said made sense, and walked directly to Lin Xiaoxiao's side: "Mother is right, I deserve to go."

Lin Huaiming was unhappy: "You can't go, my aunt didn't invite you."

Song Wenjing looked at him and smiled: "It's better to have one more person than to not be able to find anyone at all."

After saying that, he took Lin Xiaoxiao's hand and walked out. The people Lin Huaiming brought followed calmly behind, seemingly not taking Lin Huaiming seriously.

Seeing this, Lin Huaiming stomped his foot in frustration and followed after him.

Those people led Lin Xiaoxiao to the room where Gu was resting.

When Lin Xiaoxiao walked in, Gu Shi and Lin Wanwan had already finished washing up and were sitting there looking radiant.

Sitting next to Madam Gu was a graceful and elegant woman, who must be their aunt, Lin Miaoyu.

When Gu saw Lin Xiaoxiao walk in, she gave her a disdainful look.

Before she arrived, she recounted all the evil deeds she had committed along the way.

She thought the girl wouldn't dare to come.

That's true, this is Chen family territory, where else could she escape to?

As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao entered the room, Lin Miaoyu, who had been sitting calmly on the high seat, came downstairs with red eyes.

He approached Lin Xiaoxiao and looked her up and down with concern.

Her reaction surprised Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao thought the same way as Gu Shi: this was Chen Shi's territory, so if they didn't come, where else could they escape to?

Why don't we come and see what their true intentions are?

If it's to avenge the Gu family and Lin Wanwan, then I'm not one to be trifled with.

But to my surprise, Lin Miaoyu reacted this way.

Lin Miaoyu looked at her with a loving expression: "I've heard everything that happened before from your grandmother."

Lin Xiaoxiao sneered inwardly: As expected, they've come to cause trouble for me on behalf of the Lin family.

Lin Miaoyu looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with eyes full of approval.

He said regretfully, "If your mother had your courage, how could she have been tortured to death in the Lin family?"

? ?

"Aunt, what are you saying?!"

Lin Huaiming had just opened his mouth when Gu grabbed his arm to stop him.

Then he quickly blinked, signaling him not to say anything inappropriate.

Lin Miaoyu continued to watch Lin Xiaoxiao, unable to suppress her emotions.

He almost choked up as he said, "You were not even two years old when I left."

I've taken care of you since you were little. You were so tiny. When I left, your crying broke my heart.

As Lin Miaoyu spoke, tears welled up in her eyes and she hurriedly wiped them away with a handkerchief.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be moved.

Put aside your previous wariness and gently pat her back to help her catch her breath.

After venting her longing, Lin Miaoyu looked up at Lin Xiaoxiao and said emotionally, "This time, I will never let you leave again. Even if it costs me all my wealth, I will rescue you from this exile."

Before Lin Xiaoxiao could react, Madam Gu approached like a jackal smelling carrion.

"My daughter has such abilities now? But saving this girl is useless." She pointed at Lin Wanwan and said, "Look at that niece in the hall, she is the one who can help my Lin family return to wealth and honor!"
