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

However, Lin Wanwan's appearance did not bring them hope; instead, it plunged them all into despair.

"Wan'er, what are you doing here?"

Qiao Siyan looked at her daughter with heartache.

Could it be that the Third Prince has grown tired of his Wan'er?

Lin Wanwan took out a handkerchief and wiped away Qiao Siyan's tears: "Mother, don't worry, it's just that I'm too worried about you."

Although there's no way to change the outcome, the prince will arrange everything during the journey.

Although Chu Junze didn't promise her anything, Lin Wanwan knew it.

He wouldn't watch himself suffer.

Hearing their daughter's explanation, Qiao Siyan and Lin Ziqian felt much relieved.

But she also felt sorry for her daughter, thinking she shouldn't have come with her on this journey.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the people in the prison cell who were so distressed by the drastic changes in their families that they couldn't sleep.

I felt a little anxious.

She still has things to do tonight; how can she leave if they don't sleep?

A sleeping potion!

Once I've drugged them, I can do whatever I want!

After taking the antidote in advance, Lin Xiaoxiao went to a relatively dark place in the prison cell.

They quietly turned on the sleeping gas, and as it filled the cell, the sound of snoring gradually rose and fell.

The guards outside, upon hearing the snoring from inside, couldn't help but marvel at the carefree nature of the people inside.

Despite experiencing such a huge change, they slept so soundly.

After being released from the prison, Lin Xiaoxiao changed her clothes and began to wander around the streets of Tianqi City with her face covered.

Despite the massive changes and evacuation of the palace, the streets were almost unaffected.

The lights were still on and people were coming and going.

Lin Xiaoxiao found a relatively large restaurant, took out a thousand-tael silver note, and booked the entire restaurant.

Lin Xiaoxiao waved the silver note in her hand: "If you work overtime tonight, this silver note is yours."

The restaurant owner was overjoyed when he saw it.

"What needs does Miss have?"

Lin Xiaoxiao gave them five hundred taels as a deposit.

He then said, "Make me all the signature dishes from your restaurant, no limit on the quantity."

"Deliver it to the guest room upstairs. I'll come to inspect it before dawn, and then the money will be yours."

Although the restaurant owner found it strange, he couldn't resist the temptation of the money.

He hurriedly called over the three master chefs in the shop and started preparing the shop's signature dishes for Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao was overjoyed after leaving the restaurant.

It's not like you don't care if you're spending your own money.

She then went to a clothing store and bought all the stock in the store.

The proprietress was overjoyed.

"Young lady, can you carry all this stuff?"

Looking at the small hill in front of her, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately went to rent a large horse-drawn carriage.

After putting all the clothes into the carriage, I put them into my storage space.

Under the cover of night, and with no surveillance in ancient times, no one noticed Lin Xiaoxiao's unusual behavior.

With the carriage as cover, Lin Xiaoxiao visited the steamed bun shop and pastry shop in the city.

When she received the steamed buns, Lin Xiaoxiao ate three or four in the carriage before coming out.

Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't had a chance to take out food from her spatial storage before, and she was starving.

As dawn approached, Lin Xiaoxiao returned the carriage and went to her room at the restaurant.

As soon as Lin Xiaoxiao entered the house, she smelled the aroma of food.

I knew I hadn't chosen the wrong store.

Without alerting the shopkeeper, he left behind the remaining five hundred taels.

Then he put all the food boxes, which formed what looked like a wall in the room, into his space.

It has its own space to keep things fresh, so there's no fear of them spoiling.

Even when it's taken out, it looks exactly the same as when it was just made.

After that, Lin Xiaoxiao returned to her cell.

Then he went to the spot where he had been resting and sat down.

Although it's only early autumn, it's still quite cold at night.

So Lin Xiaoxiao wore an extra layer of warmth under her prison clothes early on.

So now she felt warm all over, and combined with the previous exertion, she quickly fell asleep.

But she felt that she had only fallen asleep for a short while when she was woken up by the yamen runners.

She looked up at the small window above the wall; it was clearly still dark outside.

I don't understand why they're in such a hurry.

The constable kicked Lin Ziqian: "Wake up! A bunch of simple-minded bastards, sleeping like dead pigs."

Lin Ziqian opened his eyes groggily and was not yet used to the way he was being treated.

He roared angrily, "You audacious dog slave, how dare you speak to me like that!"

The bailiff kicked him again: "You dog servant? How dare you insult me, your master?"

Now you're not even as good as us slaves.

After regaining his senses, Lin Ziqian instantly understood his current predicament.

He hurriedly stood up from the ground and, annoyed, hid in the crowd.

After walking out of the prison gate, Qiao Siyan immediately went over with a worried look on her face.

The anklets on her feet did not affect her speed at all.

The men were all shackled at that moment. Therefore, Lin Ziqian couldn't comfort her.

He could only reach out and wipe away the tears on Qiao's face.

Supported by her grandson, Madam Gu suddenly felt she couldn't bear to watch.

He walked directly in front of them.

Lin Xiaoxiao followed the crowd in a daze, when suddenly she found a pastry in her hand.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked up in surprise and found a plump little girl standing next to her.

He put his index finger to his lips, signaling himself to be quiet.

Then he walked ahead.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked down at the pastry in her hand; it was already somewhat deformed, but she could still smell its aroma.

She brought the pastry to her lips and took a bite.

That little girl seems to be my sister-in-law; she's only 14 years old this year.

His name seems to be Song Wanning.

Although she didn't know why the woman was being friendly to her, Lin Xiaoxiao still finished her snack.

I'll return it to her in another way when I have the chance.

However, Lin Xiaoxiao remembered that Song Wenjing had an older sister who was already in her twenties but was still unmarried.

It must be the one who serves the old lady!

I haven't met him yet, and I don't know what kind of person he is.

However, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't care. She was fully capable of taking care of herself on this journey of exile.

Moreover, they are able to take good care of themselves.

Therefore, she doesn't need to rely on anyone.

The group quickly arrived at Sanliting.

This is where exiled people bid their final farewell to their loved ones.

And relatives can also send needed supplies to those who are about to be exiled from here.

"It seems that sister-in-law can rest now. No one should be bringing you anything anymore."

After all, your family is here.

Song Yetong from the second wife finally found an opportunity to mock Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Is this how our Song family teaches you to be sarcastic and mocking?"

Song Huaiting looked at his daughter with a disappointed expression.

Liu quickly stepped in front of her husband to protect her daughter: "Why are you yelling at her? She's just a child, and Tong'er is telling the truth!"

"Is this how you usually educate your children?" Song Huaiting looked at Liu Shi with disappointment.

Song Huaiting knew that she usually protected the child, but he never expected her to go this far.

As a mere warrior, I always dreaded not being able to take care of her in our daily interactions, so I always yielded to her.

"You're criticizing me for the sake of an outsider?"

Liu rushed to Song Huaiting and began to beat him wildly.

Song Huai'an walked over and saw his younger brother and sister-in-law acting so recklessly.

He shouted to stop her: "Stop it right now!"

Upon hearing this, Liu immediately stopped her madness and turned her face away angrily.

After glaring around, Song Huai'an warned, "Don't you think we're embarrassing enough? If anyone causes any more trouble, I'll kick them out of the house."

Upon hearing Song Huai'an's words, everyone else was taken aback.

On the road to exile, without the protection of their families, their fate is predictable.

Liu quickly stopped crying and went to Lin Xiaoxiao to speak well of her daughter.

"Xiaoxiao, Tong'er is still young, don't take it to heart."

I'll have her come over and apologize to you right away."

After saying that, he gestured for Song Yetong to come over with his eyes.

Although Song Yetong was unwilling, she was very afraid of her uncle.

Unlike his father, he was a man of his word, and his sisters were all afraid of him.

She walked up to Lin Xiaoxiao, still unconvinced, and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made fun of you."

Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled lightly: "It's good that you know you were wrong. I've saved myself a slap."

Song Yetong looked at Lin Xiaoxiao in disbelief. This girl had actually tried to hit her just now?

"Hey! Look, that carriage actually delivered so many things to the Lin family."

"My goodness, they have everything! Rice, flour, cooking oil, and more!"

"Not only that, it covers every aspect of life, from clothing and food to housing and transportation!"

Lin Xiaoxiao looked over when she heard the sound, and sneered inwardly.

Who else could it be but the male protagonist of the book, the Third Prince Chu Junze?
