After being exiled with her husband and children, she returned with great power to rule the world

After bidding farewell to the Tang clan members, the team set out on their journey again at dawn.

Tang Muyang personally led several elite guards to escort Murong Ling'er and others, and they moved steadily along the winding mountain path towards the exit of the mountain.

Murong Ling'er gently lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked back at the Tang village that was gradually getting farther away. She felt mixed emotions. She knew very well that the road ahead was long and full of unknown dangers. The secret of her life experience that she carried on her shoulders was like a heavy mountain, pressing her to the point where she felt a little breathless.

As she stepped into the carriage, Murong Ling'er's brows were tightly furrowed, and her heart was filled with worries like a tide. She suddenly realized that she was an orphan of the General's Mansion of the Protector of the Nation from twenty years ago. This truth was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves in her heart.

Back then, the case of the General's Mansion, a family of loyal and brave men, shocked the government and the public. Everyone knew that they were innocent, but because of the cunning of the villains, they searched for many years but still could not find any solid evidence.

Now, this long-forgotten injustice has been brought to light again because of his own life experience. Once the news leaks out, all forces will surely take action, and a bloody storm is inevitable.

Her thoughts drifted, and the figures of the Chu, Huo, and Lin families emerged in her mind one after another. These families were deeply intertwined in the court. Were the people behind them the same conspirators? What tactics would they resort to if their identities were exposed?

Murong Ling'er was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice Chu Lingfeng's concerned look across from her.

Seeing her so worried, Chu Lingfeng couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart.

He had seen Murong Ling'er's liveliness and agility along the way. Now she looked so worried, there must be something extremely difficult that was bothering her.

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Chu Lingfeng's eyes, as if he was secretly swearing that he would never let anyone hurt her.

"Mom, did Huo Shuixian make you angry?" Murong Chen's childish voice broke the silence in the car.

The little guy was keenly aware of the low pressure emanating from his mother and looked at her with a worried look on his face.

Murong Ling'er was slightly startled, then came back to her senses, gently stroked Murong Chen's little head, forced a smile, shook her head and said: "It's not because of her, don't think too much, mother is fine."

"Then why is that?" Chu Lingfeng asked softly, his voice gentle but with a firmness that could not be refused.

Murong Linger raised her eyes to look at Chu Lingfeng. When their eyes met, she suddenly remembered what Lin Yi said at the beginning. Chu Lingfeng's fiancée was the eldest daughter of the General Protector's Mansion. Wasn't that herself?

The engagement token back then was a pair of jade pendants, but now, I have never seen the so-called jade pendants.

When he recognized Huo Jianjie, he didn't mention a word about this matter. Could it be that the jade pendant is still in the hands of the original owner's adoptive mother?

Murong Ling'er pondered in her heart, the more she thought about it, the more suspicious she felt that the old woman was. She must know many secrets about her life experience, but deliberately concealed them. If she had not omitted such an important token, why would she know the true identity of this body only now?

Murong Ling'er bit her teeth lightly and secretly took note of this incident with her adoptive mother.

……

At this time, in a remote courtyard at the foot of the mountain, the old lady Deng, whom Murong Ling'er missed, was sitting at a shabby wooden table, preparing to enjoy the simple meal.

Suddenly, a group of men in black rushed into the yard like ghosts. In an instant, the quiet yard was shrouded in a murderous atmosphere.

Old Mrs. Deng widened her eyes in horror as she looked at the group of uninvited guests, and she was almost paralyzed by fear.

"You, you, you... who are you?" Old Mrs. Deng's voice was shaking with fear, and she couldn't even hold the coarse porcelain bowl in her hand steadily. It dropped to the ground with a "bang" and shattered into pieces.

The leader in black glanced contemptuously at the frightened old woman, and was secretly surprised in his heart. It was unbelievable that such a cowardly person could raise a girl as smart and courageous as Murong Ling'er.

He held a long knife in his hand, his face covered with a black scarf, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. He slowly approached Old Lady Deng, who was so frightened that she could not speak. Every step he took seemed to step on Old Lady Deng's heart.

"Old woman, if you want to live, answer my questions obediently."

The leader in black lowered his voice and spoke coldly. The voice sounded like a curse from hell, causing Old Lady Deng's body to tremble violently involuntarily.

Old Mrs. Deng was curled up in the corner. When she heard the words "What is the relationship between Murong Ling'er and you?", her body shook violently, and her cloudy eyes widened instantly, full of fear and confusion.

These people came to look for that damn girl? Did that damn girl get into trouble outside and her enemies came looking for her?

Old Lady Deng feigned composure and flatly denied, "I don't know what you're talking about, Murong Ling'er. You might have the wrong person!"

The black-clad leader snorted coldly, his figure moving like lightning. In an instant, his knife was unsheathed. With a flash of cold light, the cold blade was placed on Old Lady Deng's neck. His voice was low and intimidating: "You'd better tell me the truth, or I'll make you lose your head."

Old Mrs. Deng had never seen such a scene before. Her legs softened and a warm liquid flowed down her trouser legs.

The leader in black was disgusted by her cowardly appearance. He exerted a little force with his wrist and moved the knife closer to her neck.

"No! I'm telling you, I picked up that girl. She ran away a long time ago. She has nothing to do with us. What she did cannot be blamed on us!" Old Lady Deng shouted tremblingly.

The leader in black was naturally aware of this matter, but this was not what he was looking for.

He stomped his foot heavily on the stool, holding a knife firmly on Mrs. Deng's neck with one hand, his eyes so cold that they seemed to penetrate people's hearts: "Let me ask you, do you know if there is someone helping her behind the scenes?"

"Is there someone helping her behind the scenes?" Old Mrs. Deng was confused. Under the threat of death, her mind had long been confused and she could not understand the deep meaning of these words at all.

"I mean, where did she learn all those skills? Who is her master?" the black-clad leader shouted impatiently.

Old Mrs. Deng was even more confused. In her eyes, that dead girl had no ability at all. She would just go crazy normally. The last time she went crazy, her brute force almost beat all of them to death.

The leader in black saw her confused look and knew that he couldn't get anything useful out of her.

But when he thought about how this hateful old woman had abused Miss Murong for so many years, he was filled with rage and involuntarily thrust the knife forward. The sharp blade slashed through Old Woman Deng's neck, and a trail of blood slowly oozed out.

Old Mrs. Deng was terrified. This man was simply a devil. He cut her neck without saying a word.

If she couldn't answer, her life would be in danger. In a panic, her eyes suddenly lit up and she thought of the jade pendant, so she hurriedly shouted, "Don't kill me, tell me, I know who it is!"

"Speak!" the black-clad leader roared in a low voice.

"Yes... yes... they are her biological parents. They must be the ones her biological parents found. Her biological parents are a wealthy family!" Old Mrs. Deng was forced into a corner and could only make up a bunch of nonsense.

"How do you know?" The leader in black frowned, his eyes full of suspicion.

"Because... because when they abandoned her, they left behind a jade pendant. It was obvious that the jade pendant came from a wealthy family."

Old Mrs. Deng tremblingly pulled the jade pendant out of her arms, as if it was her last straw.
