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

Although Mu Shilan didn't take Lin Xiaoxiao's words to heart, Mu Qiyang took them to heart.

He worriedly discussed with Gu Xingzhi whether they should retract their decision.

However, Gu Xingzhi disliked Lin Xiaoxiao the most and said disdainfully, "What does a little girl like her know?"

If the boats really can't sail at that time, then naturally there won't be any boats at the dock. If there are, then of course they will be able to sail.

Why make such a fuss over something so simple?

Lu Hu led everyone to the nearest dock, and perhaps because they didn't have to rush, everyone felt a little lighter.

Even the speed of travel has increased significantly.

When they arrived at the dock, although there were few boats, people were still working hard to load cargo onto them.

Lu Hu was overjoyed when he saw this, as he had suffered a lot from the journey.

Lu Hu and Mu Qiyang went to discuss something with the boat owner, while everyone else standing on the shore was also feeling uneasy.

I watched them talk with excitement, awaiting their final decision.

When everyone saw Lu Hu and the others return with smiles on their faces, they felt relieved.

When Lu Hu returned, he burst into laughter.

"Everyone, pack your bags and get ready to board the ship!"

"We finally don't have to rush anymore!!"

"Hurry up and pack up, so we can find a good place to rest later."

"This is all thanks to Prince Duan and his men!"

Everyone flattered Mu Qiyang's family while packing their belongings, waiting to board the ship.

Even the ladies who were once high and mighty in the capital had never traveled far from home, so they were still a little excited when they saw the large ship in front of them.

Once aboard, everyone realized it was a cargo ship.

Because of the cold weather, they didn't carry much cargo, which is why they had a place on the ship.

Despite having to live in the warehouse, everyone was still very happy.

They all found a place that they thought was the most comfortable to rest in.

However, after Lin Xiaoxiao and the others had settled the carriage, Mu Shilan blocked them from entering and refused to let them pass.

He said arrogantly, "The interior is already full, so you can stay on the deck and rest!"

The second wife, Liu, said incredulously, "This ship will only be sailing for less than half a month. If we stay on the deck, won't we be doomed?"

Mu Shilan said dismissively, "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me."

"This ship was funded by the Mu family, so naturally the Mu family should make the decisions."

After Mu Shilan finished speaking, she walked in triumphantly.

Liu wanted to argue with her, but Su stopped her.

"She's still young, and her reckless behavior must be because Prince Duan isn't around. Once Prince Duan returns, we'll definitely be let in."

Song Yetong shrank back: "So, are we just supposed to wait here now?"

The wind was biting cold, but she had been staying in the carriage all along and hadn't suffered much.

Mrs. Su sighed helplessly: "There's nothing we can do now but wait."

Just as they were feeling agitated, the warehouse door suddenly opened again.

Mu Qingwan came out from inside looking anxious.

Seeing the Song family still waiting outside, he said apologetically, "Come in quickly. Don't listen to her. Even if Father knew, he would definitely not agree with what she did."

When Liu saw Mu Qingwan appear, she seemed to see hope and hurriedly went to greet her: "Oh, okay, let's go in now. Qingwan is so kind-hearted, unlike that brat."

Everyone started packing their things, but before they could go inside, a sharp voice stopped them in their tracks.

Mu Shilan glared at them as she walked over, then stood beside Mu Qingwan and said disdainfully, "Why are you so nosy?"

Mu Qingwan looked at her disdainfully: "I'm doing this for your own good. Does Father know if you do this?"

Aren't you afraid that Father will blame you if he finds out?

Hearing Mu Qingwan call him "father" repeatedly, Mu Shilan found it extremely grating.

She just couldn't stand Mu Qingwan's attitude of having everything, so she went to great lengths to steal her mother's favor. Now, her aunt is like her own mother.

She persisted, saying, "I didn't do anything wrong, why would my uncle blame me?"

Mu Qingwan frowned: "Don't you realize you're wrong? There's still plenty of space inside, why are you blocking the Song family from leaving?"

Mu Shilan retorted, "This was purchased with our family's money, and I have the right to dispose of it as I see fit."

Liu: "Hey, girl, that's not right of you. Qingwan is Prince Duan's biological daughter. She hasn't even said anything yet, so why are you making such a fuss?"

Liu's words completely enraged Mu Shilan: "What did you say? I'm also a member of the Mu family. Are all of you planning to gang up on me?"

Mu Shilan's shouts attracted Gu Xingzhi, who had come looking for her.

Seeing that Mu Shilan had been wronged, Gu Xingzhi hurriedly came over and asked what had happened.

Seeing that she had found a backer, Mu Shilan hurriedly began to explain her grievances.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xingzhi instantly felt impatient with the Song family.

She immediately made a decision: "Let's go in. This is our money, can't we make our own decisions?"

Mu Qingwan hurriedly stopped her mother: "Mother, there are clearly so many places inside, why can't we let them in?"

And Dad will definitely blame us when he gets back.”

Gu Xingzhi looked at her coldly: "If he has any objections, he can just come and tell me."

After saying that, he pulled Mu Shilan away.

Before leaving, Mu Shilan gave them a provocative smile.

Liu Cuizhu walked over and looked at everyone's expressions, and she knew what had just happened.

She could tell that Mu Qingwan valued this family very much.

She said to the Su family, "It's alright, come in with me! I'll protect you from any trouble."

Lin Xiaoxiao declined her offer: "No need. Since there's no room for us here, we'll figure it out ourselves."

Liu Cuizhu thought Lin Xiaoxiao was just young and impetuous, and wanted to say a few more words of advice.

Unexpectedly, Madam Su also indulged her daughter-in-law's temperament and refused to accept her help.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Song Wenjing found the boat owner and explained their needs.

The ship owner's face showed a shrewd look: "We do have the rooms you mentioned, but they cost five taels of silver a day, which includes your three meals a day."

"I just don't know how many rooms you need."

Lin Xiaoxiao knew that the ship owner wanted to take advantage of the situation.

However, they need five rooms and 25 taels of silver per day, which adds up to a considerable expense.

Although they provided for their three meals a day, the prices were still set very high.

Although Lin Xiaoxiao was not short of money, she was still unhappy about being schemed against like this.
