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

After suppressing a laugh, Song Yetong returned to the Song family home and recounted the events that had just transpired to everyone with eyes full of admiration.

The evaluation of Lin Xiaoxiao is very high.

Even after Song Yetong finished speaking, she was still very excited and had practically become a little fan of Lin Xiaoxiao.

Mrs. Liu pulled her agitated daughter to sit down next to her so that she could calm down.

Madam Su couldn't hide her smile: "Xiaoxiao really knows how to deal with these people. Not to mention Ye Tong, even I admire Xiaoxiao."

After taking a sip of hot tea, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the crowd still arguing and said.

"The reason they were able to gather together to attack our Song family was simply because they had common interests."

However, when their interests clash, that's when they fall apart.

Because those who are brought together by shared interests will naturally be separated by those same interests.

Song Yetong: "Sister-in-law, you're really amazing. How did you know that man had done all sorts of evil things by relying on our Song family?"

Lin Xiaoxiao lowered her head and smiled faintly: "He said he was implicated by our Song family, but Wen Jing said he had no impression of that person at all."

He's either lying or he's using the Song family's reputation to do something shameful.

As they spoke, the arguing gradually subsided.

Although they did not reach a consensus, it did not mean that they no longer coveted the Song family's possessions.

Regardless of their situation, Lin Xiaoxiao continued to eat and drink as usual.

After they finished eating, it seemed they had reached a decision and sent two men with considerable influence.

They came to the Song family to discuss the matter, but instead of seeking help from Lin Xiaoxiao, they went to Song Huai'an for help.

Just as Su was about to say something, Song Huai'an distracted her.

Two men, accompanied by an old man, knelt before Song Huai'an before he could say anything.

"General Song, you have seen our current situation. If your Song family continues to sit idly by, we will only face death."

“General Song, we believe you have been wronged. We know your kindness and you will not stand idly by.”

Su was worried that Song Huai'an was being overly kind and was anxious to stop him from making any reckless promises to them.

But Chen stopped him.

Su looked at her in confusion and said anxiously, "Mother, why are you still stopping me?"

Chen smiled and said, "Huai'an cares about the people, but he places even greater emphasis on the law."

Immediately, Song Huai'an's authoritative voice rang out: "You were all born with sins, and what you are suffering now is your punishment."

The three kneeling people were stunned when they saw this.

I was just saying something flattering, why is he pretending?

One of the men, who seemed more worldly-wise, tentatively reminded Song Huai'an, "But General Song, aren't you also a criminal?"

Song Huai'an disagreed: "How am I the same as you? I was wronged. When the Emperor investigates the matter and clears our names, the truth will be revealed to the world."

The shrewd man lowered his head and remained silent, inwardly sneering: You're still waiting for the Emperor to clear the snow for you.

Everyone can see that your current predicament was a scheme personally orchestrated by the Emperor.

Seeing that he could not get any benefit from Song Huai'an, the man stopped kneeling.

He stood up, dusted himself off, and said to Song Huai'an in a threatening tone, "Actually, we came here to discuss things with you. If Lord Song insists on going his own way..."

If they encounter a wolf attack on the journey ahead, and the Song family has no one to help them, then it will be too late for Lord Song to regret it!

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard that.

They actually used a wolf attack to threaten Song Huai'an, the general who was in charge of protecting the country?

Did a donkey kick your head?

The man wasn't annoyed by Lin Xiaoxiao's mockery: "I know your Song family is a martial arts family, but there are always exceptions."

These wolves are pack animals; we only have a chance of survival if we stick together.

Lin Xiaoxiao sneered; so that's what they were planning.

Song Huai'an snorted coldly, "Fine, since that's your plan, we have no objection."

Seeing that they couldn't reach an agreement, those people left angrily.

After they left, Song Huai'an didn't rest. He immediately arranged for people to patrol at night.

Song Wenjing and Da Kui were in one group, while his second brother Song Huaiting and his son Song Shijun were in another group.

He took turns keeping watch at night to prevent wolf attacks.

During the rest, Lin Xiaoxiao hung several oil lamps on the carriage. Since wolves are afraid of open flames, they also specially surrounded a circle of stones and kept burning firewood inside.

While the others were arguing, Song Huai'an and the others gathered a lot of firewood, preparing to spend the night warmly.

By the time they realized what was happening, it was already dark, and they didn't dare go deeper into the forest to collect branches.

The other exiles had reached a consensus that when they rested at night, they would separate themselves from Lin Xiaoxiao and the others by a clear boundary.

But despite their large number, they couldn't ward off the winter chill. Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's campfire, they couldn't resist the urge to approach.

"It's so cold! Why didn't you think of gathering some firewood?"

"Didn't you also not pick them up?"

"What do we do now? There's a bonfire burning at the Song family's place, and even the yamen runners have gone there to rest."

"If all the constables go to protect them, what will happen to us?"

Only then did everyone realize that they had no chance of confronting the Song family.

Ouch~!

With a wolf howl.

Pairs of lush green eyes gradually emerged from the woods, staring intently in their direction.

"Ah! Wolf! The wolf is coming!"

"It's all that Lin family's little girl's fault. If she hadn't instigated us to oppose the Song family, we wouldn't be in this mess with them now."

While everyone was on edge, wary of the wolf pack's attack, they also regretted listening to others' advice, which had led to this situation.

Lin Wanwan's face was also very ugly. She didn't expect that Lin Xiaoxiao could deal with so many people so easily.

"Besides the Song family, the Lin family's little girl is also living a wealthier life than us!"

"That's right. The Song family has abandoned us now, so she has to take responsibility for us."

"Yes, you have to take responsibility for us!"

The crowd walked up to Lin Wanwan's carriage and surrounded them.

Lin Wanwan was so frightened that she clung tightly to the carriage, trying her best to control her trembling body so that they wouldn't see her guilty conscience.

She said in a trembling voice, "I was only trying to help you all, but who knew you would be so useless."

Hearing that Lin Wanwan was still unrepentant, the crowd was about to seize the things from their carriage.

Madam Gu hurriedly got off the carriage, tightly protecting it, and cried out, "Don't come any closer! I'm severing ties with Lin Wanwan; she's no longer a member of the Lin family!"

If you want to settle scores with her, don't touch my carriage.

Lin Wanwan looked at her grandmother in disbelief.

However, Gu's utilitarianism made her see no hope, so she immediately turned to look at Qingyao.

But they found Qingyao sitting in the carriage, seemingly indifferent to the situation.

Lin Wanwan was not surprised at all by Gu's abandonment, but Qingyao, how could she?
