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

After exchanging some words with Song Wenjing, Lin Miaoyu left Lin Xiaoxiao to stay with her.

The aunt and niece sat on the bed and talked for half the night before Lin Xiaoxiao finally drifted off to sleep.

In a daze, Lin Miaoyu was always by her side, occasionally letting out a sigh.

After one night, Lin Miaoyu looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with eyes full of reluctance, unwilling to let her set off again.

Lin Xiaoxiao handed the bundle back to Lin Miaoyu: "Aunt, didn't I tell you before that I don't lack money?"

Lin Miaoyu pretended to be angry and looked at her: "What's yours is yours, but this is a token of my aunt's affection. Do you think it's not enough?"

"No, my aunt knows that's not what I meant."

Lin Xiaoxiao stopped refusing, knowing that she could only feel at ease if she accepted her aunt's offer.

Gu looked at the bundle in Lin Xiaoxiao's hand and thought to herself with satisfaction: It seems that my daughter can still tell the difference.

He himself had such a big burden, while this brat's burden was only a little bit.

At the moment of parting, Gu ignored the disgust on Lin Miaoyu's face and pulled her close, crying and expressing her longing.

Lin Wanwan stood to the side, her face pale, seemingly devoid of all life.

After saying goodbye to her aunt, Lin Xiaoxiao reluctantly boarded the carriage. Perhaps it was Lin Miaoyu's sincerity that made her willing to spend only one night with her.

Lin Xiaoxiao still felt reluctant to part with him.

Su found Lin Miaoyu and earnestly assured her that she would take good care of Lin Xiaoxiao on the way.

Lin Miaoyu could tell that Madam Su was a reasonable woman, so she nodded in relief.

Mu Qingwan somehow managed to avoid being taken away by Chu Junze's men and remained in the exiled group.

Xie Yurou was left behind this time, entrusted to Lin Miaoyu's care, and was to wait for her mother to pick her up.

Song Huai'an wanted to explain for her, but Chen hit him hard on the head.

As they set off, Lin Xiaoxiao watched Lin Miaoyu's figure gradually blur, feeling a tightness in her chest.

Song Wenjing noticed that she was in a bad mood and knew that she liked lively atmospheres, so he pulled her to travel with him.

Tell her funny stories from my childhood.

This amused Lin Xiaoxiao so much that she giggled repeatedly.

Her laughter reached Lin Wanwan's ears in the carriage behind, and she found it extremely grating.

Thinking back to last night, after she found Ling Xiao, he actually admitted that Chu Junze was about to marry his wife.

Then who do you think you are?

She had painstakingly planned to be with him, and he had made promises to her, but now it all felt like a dream.

She desperately wanted to see Chu Junze immediately and confront him to ask why he had treated her this way.

After laughing for a while, Lin Xiaoxiao felt much better.

When she opened the package Lin Miaoyu had prepared for her, she found a thick stack of silver notes inside.

Although the Chen family were well-known wealthy merchants in Youchuan, these banknotes were still a huge sum of money.

Lin Xiaoxiao carefully put the package away, and then, when no one was looking, she put it into her spatial storage.

Then she suddenly heard Gu's wailing coming from the carriage behind her.

Sitting in the carriage, Madam Gu looked at the package in her hands, trembling with anger.

"That brat, how dare she, how dare she make fun of me like this."

In the bundle in Madam Gu's hands, besides some grains and vegetable cakes, there was only a small purse containing some loose silver.

Lin Huaiming's face was also filled with disbelief. How could this be? He then searched the bundle again in disbelief.

Lin Huaiming said incredulously, "Is that all? Did Aunt make a mistake? Or did we and that brat Lin Xiaoxiao take the wrong package?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Gu immediately thought of the bundle in Lin Xiaoxiao's hand. Although it didn't look big, what if it was full of silver notes?

Madam Gu sighed: "Even if she took the wrong thing, who would dare to take it back from her!"

Thinking of Lin Xiaoxiao's fierceness, Lin Huaiming also began to have second thoughts.

However, the contents of this bundle are simply insufficient to overcome the various difficulties to come.

Lin Huaiming hesitated before saying, "How about I go and have a good talk with her during the lunch break?"

Thinking of the money, Gu hardened her heart and said, "Alright, we'll go together then."

We were just retrieving our own things, and I believed she could shamelessly deny it.

As Lin Wanwan drove the carriage, listening to the two people inside plotting, a mocking smile appeared on her lips.

idiot!

The sudden drop in temperature had barely allowed everyone to adjust when they were terrified by the howling of wolves not far away.

Song Wenjing gripped the reins tightly, trying to calm the frightened horse.

Lin Xiaoxiao frowned and looked around, but didn't see any wolves: "It seems they've already set their sights on us."

After Song Wenjing steadied the horse, he said, "The temperature has dropped sharply. Many animals in the mountains must have died. These hungry wolves, unable to find enough to eat, naturally came down from the mountains to attack people."

After Lu Hu steadied his horse, he shouted to the crowd, "The road along the mountain is less than a hundred miles long. If we travel fast, we can escape the clutches of these hungry wolves in less than three days."

The group huddled together, trembling, and looked around warily.

The journey was noticeably slower than before, but this time Land Rover didn't urge them on.

Even he found this situation challenging.

"Hurry up, everyone. We need to find shelter by nightfall."

Lin Xiaoxiao never expected that they would be so unlucky, being targeted by a pack of hungry wolves as soon as they left the city.

She secretly took out some easily concealed daggers and distributed them to the members of the Song family.

Song Huai'an assumed it was Lin Xiaoxiao's aunt who had specially left it for her to rely on, and didn't think much of it.

At night, they were not so lucky and did not find a single cave.

However, Lu Hu couldn't let them continue their journey, as traveling at night would only be more dangerous.

Looking at the open space with no cover in front of them, the group said in disbelief, "Are we going to stay here tonight?"

"If we stay here overnight, we'll either be bitten to death by hungry wolves or freeze to death."

"Why is my life so miserable? I only coveted a little silver, and this is how I ended up."

"We're the unlucky ones. We've been dragged down by the Song family, which is why we've ended up looking like neither human nor ghost."

A middle-aged man, dressed in rags and with disheveled hair, sat on the ground and cried incessantly.

Everyone in the army knew that the Song family had been exiled because of their rebellion.

Unlike the others, the people in the group were unintentionally ostracizing them.

However, because of Lin Xiaoxiao, their exclusion did not show any effect.

Now that they see that this man was implicated by the Song family, they instantly feel sorry for him.

"That's right, the Song family are traitors, so why are they living so well?"

"The Song family should help all of us get through this calamity."

"That's right! Compared to the traitors of the Song family, what's a little money I embezzled?"
