Lin Xiaoxiao took out three hundred taels of silver notes from her person and showed them to the ship owner.

"I need six rooms, but this is all the silver I have."

If you're willing, then accept the money!

Lin Xiaoxiao was manipulating human nature; she believed the boat owner would never let her take the money back.

Sure enough, the boat owner immediately took the money from Lin Xiaoxiao's hand with a smile.

With an involuntary smile, he complained, "Your trip will take about half a month."

I've lost out on those 300 taels!

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't respond to him; she just stood aside and watched him repeatedly examine the silver notes.

After carefully putting away the silver notes, the ship owner led them to the agreed-upon room.

The rooms are connected, making exactly five rooms; having one more would be pointless.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Song Wenjing stayed in the first room, which was next to Song Wanqing and Song Wanning's room.

Song Huai'an and Su Shi's room was in the middle, next to their grandmother Chen Shi and the nanny Song who served her, plus Song Yetong's room.

Song Huaiting and Liu, the second wife, lived in the inner room.

Song Huaijun then lived with Da Kui.

After settling Lin Xiaoxiao and the others in, the boat owner left, telling them before he left that someone would bring them food that evening.

After returning to their respective rooms with their luggage, Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at Song Wenjing.

Thinking to himself: Anyway, he knows quite a few of my secrets.

Lin Xiaoxiao stopped hiding it.

They took out a storage-type electric blanket and laid it on the chaise lounge in the room.

He took out a high-powered electric heater and secretly placed it in an inconspicuous spot at the foot of the bed.

The room warmed up in no time.

After tidying up, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately sat on the chaise lounge she had arranged, opened the window, and looked at the scenery outside.

The weather was gloomy. Although the boat had not yet started, the streets were not crowded or scenic because of the cold weather.

After a short while, Lin Xiaoxiao closed the window with little interest.

Song Wenjing sat at the table, wiping a delicate crossbow.

Lin Xiaoxiao walked over and looked at it for a while before saying, "Although yours is well-made, it is still far inferior to the crossbow I have in my collection."

Song Wenjing looked at Lin Xiaoxiao: "This is a crossbow made by our Tianqi Master."

"So what? You won't believe me, just look."

As Lin Xiaoxiao spoke, she took out a crossbow produced in her era from her spatial storage.

Judging by appearance alone, the crossbow in Lin Xiaoxiao's hand was far more exquisite than the one in Song Wenjing's hand.

After Song Wenjing put down the crossbow in his hand, he carefully took it from Lin Xiaoxiao and examined it.

"The craftsmanship is indeed exquisite, but I wonder how powerful it is!"

Lin Xiaoxiao frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "I don't know about that. You can try it yourself when you have the chance."

Then Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the wall panel next to her and casually said, "If it's this wall panel, this crossbow bolt can easily pass through it."

"You, are you telling the truth?"

Even Song Wenjing was so shocked that he stammered.

He knew that Lin Xiaoxiao had no internal energy, so if she could pass through the wall like that...

That was the power of a crossbow, it was simply incredible.

Song Wenjing instantly became enamored with the crossbow bolts Lin Xiaoxiao had given him.

Lin Xiaoxiao found it utterly boring to watch him study the crossbow.

He then took the cloak and walked out of the room.

As they were leaving, they happened to run into Prince Duan, Mu Qiyang, who was standing in front of Song Huai'an's room, saying something apologetically.

It's obvious why he came here; it must be because he found out what Mu Shilan had done.

They came here to apologize.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't go over there, but instead left the cabin.

When she came out, she found that the cargo ship had begun to slowly move away from the shore.

Just then, Mu Shilan happened to walk over with a not-too-old cotton quilt that she had found somewhere.

She was accompanied by two young ladies from the previous prisoner families.

The things they were carrying were noticeably heavier than what Mu Shilan was holding.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't intend to pay attention to her and wanted to go to the deck to enjoy the scenery for a while.

However, Mu Shilan blocked her way.

Her face was full of smugness: "What, you got kicked out by me? Did you have nowhere else to go? Why are you still wandering around outside in this cold weather?"

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at her coldly: "Get out of the way!"

Instead of leaving after seeing this, Mu Shilan deliberately raised her chin to provoke Lin Xiaoxiao.

Her two girlfriends glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao and couldn't help but come to Mu Shilan's side to persuade her.

Mu Shilan glared at them and said, "What are you doing? Why are you so afraid of her?"

One of the girls looked troubled and said, "Why do we have to provoke her?"

"If you're not leaving, I'll leave all this here for you, and I don't need the steamed buns."

Another girl quickly chimed in.

Lin Xiaoxiao was no longer in a hurry to leave and stood there quietly to observe Mu Shilan's reaction.

Mu Shilan stomped her feet in anger, but seeing that she had no way to take so many things with her.

The two girls were holding things and couldn't pull her away, so they urged, "Stop looking, let's go!"

Under Lin Xiaoxiao's watchful gaze, Mu Shilan reluctantly and awkwardly left.

Lin Xiaoxiao's mood was not disturbed by her. She continued to walk onto the deck, watching the ripples on the lake, feeling extremely calm and comfortable.

Since arriving here, she first inexplicably got married, then discovered that she had transmigrated into a book, and then began preparing for exile.

Along the way, although we didn't experience any major storms, we've never traveled as peacefully as we are now.

Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly felt incredibly relaxed.

Suddenly, a tiny snowflake caught her attention.

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but reach out and catch it. The crystal-clear snowflake melted into water droplets as soon as it landed in Lin Xiaoxiao's palm.

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look up at the sky, where countless snowflakes were falling one after another.

"What are you looking at?"

Song Wenjing's voice came from behind.

Lin Xiaoxiao turned around and smiled sweetly: "It's snowing!"

Song Wenjing walked over and took her hand, which was catching snow: "Aren't you cold?"

Lin Xiaoxiao said listlessly, "I just felt a bit bored and came out for some fresh air."

Song Wenjing knew that Lin Xiaoxiao had a lively personality and was someone who couldn't stay still.

So he suggested, "That card game you guys had before, I thought it looked really fun, why don't you teach me how to play it?"

Lin Xiaoxiao, however, remained uninterested: "I'm getting a little tired of playing card games."

She really misses her old electronic gadgets. If she had a cell phone, she wouldn't be so bored!

Lin Xiaoxiao had an idea and immediately started searching excitedly in the online store.
