It wasn't until she saw those bloody torture instruments that Tian Xier felt truly scared.
She thought that the gentle Prince Li would not hurt her and her father like this. After all, it was he who provided shelter for them when they were desperate.
Now, they are going to be severely tortured!
How could he be so cruel?
She cried and shouted, "No, please forgive me, my lord. I will never do it again!"
Prince Li turned a deaf ear and still ordered the guards to act quickly.
When the red-hot iron appeared in front of Tian Xier, she was so scared that her face turned pale as paper.
She could no longer control herself, and her whole body collapsed into a puddle of mud.
She fell into the filth, her face filled with horror as she spoke: "I said, it was because of Master Ming. He asked me to do this. I like him, so I was bewitched and followed his orders!"
King Li waved his hand and asked the guards who were about to torture him to retreat first.
He looked down at Tian Xier and asked, "Which Mr. Ming? How did you get to know him?"
Tian Xier answered cautiously, "Mr. Ming is a painter. He accidentally twisted his ankle while selecting a scene in the back mountains. I was the one who helped him back up, so he can stay at the farm to recuperate!"
Prince Li's expression suddenly changed. He quickly asked, "Where did you hide him?"
Tian Xier didn't dare to hide it and immediately said, "Zhulinju!"
Prince Li didn't bother to deal with her and immediately took his men to the Bamboo Forest Residence.
But when he arrived, he didn't find anyone.
Tian Xier was obviously also very shocked. She said anxiously, "I really took him in at the Bamboo Forest Residence. He even had a blind and lame old servant serving him. I saw them yesterday!"
Prince Li turned to look at the secret guards and said, "Bring your men to search the mountain and capture those two men for me!"
He quickly walked up to Lin Yiwan and said, "I guessed it was Qin Tianhao and his daughter. They are indeed cunning old foxes. They actually hid in this manor!"
Lin Yiwan nodded. No wonder she couldn’t find the father and daughter. It turned out that they were right under her nose!
They are so brave!
She frowned and said, "The mountains are covered with snow now, so they can't get far. Father, send more people to search for them. Anyone who dares to murder mother will not be forgiven!"
King Li thought the same, and he sent more people to seal all the exits.
As the cold night deepened, Lin Yiwan went back to rest.
As for Tian Xier and her daughter, they were locked up in the woodshed and awaited punishment.
When it was almost dawn, Lin Yiwan was suddenly awakened by a cloud of smoke.
She quickly opened her eyes and found that the entire village was on fire.
The fire first started from the Zhulinju area, and the wind helped the fire spread to the main courtyard in an instant.
Lin Yiwan immediately realized that Qin Mingyue and Qin Tianhao had already ambushed at the manor, and it was impossible for them to do nothing.
It turns out that escaping to the mountains was all an illusion, just a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
The most important thing is to wait until everyone is sent out, and then set a huge fire!
At that time, she was only concerned about Lin Su and forgot about this matter. Now it is too late to put out the fire.
Fortunately, she was just woken up by the baby in her belly, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
She subconsciously ran out quickly, but her hands and feet felt a little weak.
No, this is a sign of smoke poisoning.
She didn't dare to delay and immediately took a pill and put it in her mouth.
When she regained some strength, she rushed out quickly.
Almost as he rushed to the door, the beam above his head fell down with a bang.
She immediately took a half step back and was almost crushed to death.
Now the fire has blocked the door and she can't escape at all.
At this time, Zi'er was shouting outside: "Madam, how are you? I will rush in to save you!"
Lin Yiwan immediately ordered in a hoarse voice: "Don't worry about me, go save my mother and mother-in-law first, go quickly!"
Zi'er replied, "The old lady and the princess have been settled in the pavilion. Don't worry. Your room is burning the most. I'll soak the quilt first and then go in to get you!"
Lin Yiwan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked around and suddenly remembered that her room was facing the pond.
She immediately said, "Zi'er, you don't need to come in. I'll jump into the pond from the window. Go to the shore to meet me!"
Without saying a word, she bent down and jumped out of the window.
"Bang!" She fell into the water. Even though her body was heavy, she still did not forget her swimming skills.
The water in the pond had been heated up at this time, so she didn't feel cold.
Zi'er also jumped down and swam towards the shore with her.
Ling'er was already waiting with clean clothes, and the little girl was so scared that she could hardly stand.
She wrapped the cloak around Lin Yiwan and asked anxiously, "Madam, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Lin Yiwan replied, "No problem. What about the others? How many injured are there?"
Zi'er said, "Except for the father and daughter who were locked up in the woodshed and burned to death, the rest are fine. I just checked and found a lot of kerosene buried under the corners of all the courtyards. That's why the fire started so quickly and fiercely!"
Lin Yiwan was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. It was a close call!
Fortunately, the servants on the farm were alert enough to escape immediately, otherwise, who knows how many innocent people would have been hurt.
Her eyes turned red with hatred. After catching Qin Tianhao and his daughter, she would definitely cut them into pieces and let them taste the pain of being roasted by fire first.
She hurried to the pavilion and saw Lin Su and the old lady sitting together shivering.
Lin Su's face was terribly pale due to the series of shocks.
Before she met Lin Yiwan, she was still trying to hold back, but when she saw her now, tears suddenly fell.
She called out, "Wanwan, are you okay?"
Lin Yiwan stepped forward and hugged her mother-in-law and Lin Su in her arms, saying, "I'm fine. I came out fine. And you guys, are you all okay?"
The Saint Girl was the first to shake her head: "You're not injured. You're heavy, hurry up and take off your wet clothes. Don't catch a cold!"
Lin Yiwan did not hesitate and immediately walked to the temporary tent to change her clothes.
Fortunately, I had prepared clothes in the carriage, otherwise, I would have no clothes to change into.
Almost as soon as she changed her clothes, Zhan Yan and Li Wang came back covered in frost and snow.
Zhan Yan was rushed out of the palace overnight, while King Li came from the mountain. He discovered Qin Tianhao's trace and kept chasing him up. When he climbed halfway up the mountain, he found a fire in the village below the mountain.
He realized something was wrong and immediately led his men back.
Only after he was sure that Lin Yiwan and Lin Su were both fine did his expression relax.
He looked at Zhan Yan with self-blame: "It's my fault for being careless. I was thinking about quickly capturing Qin Tianhao, but I didn't expect this father and daughter to divert the tiger away from the mountain and act separately!"
