I married the wrong man, and I sent him and his whole family to be executed.

Lin Xing'er noticed something unusual when these words came out. She guessed that Li Xingtang should have been arrested by County Magistrate Lin.

"Dad, have you arrested Xingtang? Please let him go." Lin Xing'er looked at County Magistrate Lin pleadingly, "If Dad doesn't let him go, I won't go with you."

Having said that, County Magistrate Lin had no choice but to give in: "Okay, take him with you."

But how could County Magistrate Lin let his family take the risk to rescue Li Xingtang, so he turned his attention to Yu Wangfei.

Just with this one look, Yu Wangfei understood what he meant.

"Okay, I'll go." Yu Wangfei turned and walked out of the house, avoiding the fight and came to Li Xingtang's room. After telling him the current situation in the Lin Mansion, she anxiously brought him back.

The reason why Yu Wangfei chose to save Li Xingtang was not for Lin Xinger, but because she needed to find the trace of old man Mo Ying from Li Xingtang. If he died, her clues would be cut off.

Therefore, Yu Wangfei would never allow Li Xingtang to die so easily. At least he would die after she knew the whereabouts of old man Mo Ying.

After arriving at the house, Li Xingtang finally saw his long-missed lover. The two hugged each other excitedly without caring whether there were other people present.

The last time they met each other was in the mountain village, and now it is at such a critical moment.

The sound of weapons fighting outside the house became more and more intense. They both knew that now was not the time to greet each other and express their true feelings. They could only suppress the love in their hearts and escape from the Lin Mansion first.

"What are you still standing there for? Get out of here!" County Magistrate Lin glared at Li Xingtang with disdain.

He actually dared to hug his daughter in front of him. If it were a critical moment now, he would definitely beat him up.

"Hurry up." Yu Wangfei also urged.

Immediately after entering the tunnel today, County Magistrate Lin led Xiaodie and walked in front. After walking for a while, they finally saw a light in the distance.

After coming out of the tunnel, Yu Wangfei found that they had arrived outside the city of Jiangnan.

This secret passage was built secretly by County Magistrate Lin specifically to prevent an assassination attempt one day. He had been an official for many years and had offended countless people, so he trained a large number of guards to protect the safety of the Lin family.

After seeing that everything was safe, Lin Xing'er could no longer hold back the bitterness in her heart, and she threw herself into Li Xingtang's arms and started crying.

"I thought I'd never see you again. I missed you so much."

"I miss you, too." Li Xingtang hugged the person tightly in his arms, with a hint of tears in his voice.

When County Magistrate Lin saw the two of them cuddling together, he became furious and immediately wanted to step forward to separate them, but Xiaodie held him back tightly.

Although Xiaodie didn't know what happened between them, she could see that her daughter was interested in Li Xingtang. She couldn't bear to let Lin Xing'er become the next her, so she grabbed County Magistrate Lin.

"This Chu Yuheng is not worthy of our daughter." County Magistrate Lin said irritably, signaling Xiaodie to let go with his eyes, "He is a poor scholar with no merits, how can he be worthy of our daughter!"

"What about me?" Xiaodie looked at Magistrate Lin coldly, with a hint of anger on her face, "I am just a skinny Yangzhou horse, not worthy of you, Magistrate Lin."

Hearing this, County Magistrate Lin immediately lost his temper. He knew that it was his fault back then. He was not firm enough and it was he who weighed the pros and cons and abandoned Xiaodie.

It turned out that he had now become the person he hated the most back then. County Magistrate Lin sighed, turned his back and ignored them.

Yu Wangfei stood among them and sighed helplessly.

If she went there now, those people were obviously here to capture her, and maybe they also wanted to kill Xiaodie, so she must not go back to Jiangnan City.

There is an 80% chance that Chu Yuheng has fallen into the hands of that group of people. How should she rescue Chu Yuheng?

After Li Xingtang and Lin Xing'er finished greeting each other, they noticed that County Magistrate Lin was accompanied by a graceful woman who looked to be about the same age as Lin Xing'er.

"Daddy, who is she?" Lin Xing'er asked puzzledly.

Could it be that this woman is the new concubine of County Magistrate Lin? But doesn’t her father love her mother the most?

The four of them looked at each other. Xiaodie didn't know how to express her identity. Although she had secretly visited Lin Xing'er before, she had never recognized her and never let her know of her existence.

"She is your mother." County Magistrate Lin spoke out the secret that was suppressed in his heart with relief.

He had hidden this secret in his heart for many years. The reason why he didn't tell Lin Xing'er was because he also thought that Xiaodie's identity was special and she was not suitable to be the mother of his daughter.

But it’s different now. As he gets older, County Magistrate Lin feels more and more that what he did before was wrong, completely wrong.

Perhaps only when people get old can they see some things clearly.

"Mother, mother?" Lin Xing'er looked at Xiaodie in disbelief.

There was not only fear on that face, but also surprise.

As a child, she always wanted a mother, but County Magistrate Lin told her that her mother had passed away. Now that she finally saw her mother, she didn't know how to recognize her for a moment.

Xiaodie's eyes were already filled with tears. She really wanted to tell Lin Xing'er how much she loved her, but she was worried that her enthusiasm would scare Lin Xing'er.

So she could only stand beside County Magistrate Lin and look at her, hoping that Lin Xing'er would take the initiative to step forward and accept her.

Li Xingtang saw Lin Xing'er's dilemma. He couldn't bear to let her continue to suffer, so he took the initiative to change the subject: "Looking at the posture of those people, they are here to kill us. Does County Magistrate Lin know who those people are?"

Without waiting for Magistrate Lin to answer, Xiaodie spoke first: "They are here to kill me."

Yu Wangfei didn't say much about this. Just now, she accidentally made eye contact with the group of men in black, and she could see that they were coming for her.

But she couldn't tell the truth, otherwise she wouldn't be able to go with this group of people. She couldn't rescue Chu Yuheng in Jiangnan City by her own strength.

"Where are we going now?" Yu Wangfei asked.

It was getting dark soon and they needed to find a place to stay as soon as possible.

"Let's go to the village." Li Xingtang suggested.

"I don't agree." County Magistrate Lin objected.

He is an official, and those people in the village are bandits. How can an official live in a bandit's den?

"Then where does Lord Lin say we should go?" Yu Wangfei stared at County Magistrate Lin expressionlessly, asking him to give an explanation.

But he had nowhere to go for the time being, so he could only stand with his hands behind his back and snort.

"Let's go to the village." Xiaodie agreed.

Although Xiaodie didn't know what village they were talking about, her daughter obviously wanted to go there, so she also wanted to go and see.

Even though County Magistrate Lin disagreed, Xiaodie still dragged him up the mountain.
