Lin Huanchen shuddered all over and sobered up all of a sudden.

He quickly shook his sleeves and immediately knelt down with the old lady: "I greet you, my dear military officers!"

Li Youde's sharp eyes fell on his face and asked, "Are you Lin Huanchen, Lin Ruoxin's father?"

Before Lin Huanchen could say anything, the old lady interrupted, "Yes, he is Lin Huanchen, and I am his mother, Lin Ruoxin's grandmother. Did she perform meritorious deeds in the palace? Did the noble send you here to deliver a reward?"

When Li Youde saw the old lady's eyes full of greed, a sneer flashed across his face.

He said sarcastically, "Yes, your good granddaughter has indeed made a contribution. Look, the emperor asked us to send her here!"

He ordered his men to open the cage cover, and immediately Lin Ruoxin's blood-stained body was revealed.

She didn't know whether she was dead or alive, and she lay there motionless.

The old lady's smile froze on her face. After a moment's silence, she asked in a trembling voice, "How could this be? What did Xin'er do wrong? Didn't she go to offer medicine?"

Li Youde sneered, "She stole someone else's medicine and presented it to the Emperor. How audacious she is! Didn't you ask her what she did wrong? Now I'll tell you, it's the crime of deceiving the Emperor. Her entire family must be executed!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady fainted from fright.

Lin Huanchen didn't care about anything and got up to run away.

But the servant who followed him from the brothel immediately grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and said, "Where are you going to run to? Pay back the money quickly. Pay it back first, then you'll get your head chopped off!"

Lin Huanchen struggled violently, but was directly lifted into the cage by Li Youde.

Immediately afterwards, even the unconscious old lady was thrown in, hitting him so hard that he felt dizzy.

He screamed hoarsely, "I'm innocent. This is all the fault of the rebellious girl. It was her bad idea. It has nothing to do with me!"

Li Youde was disgusted by his screaming and simply cut off his tongue so that he could no longer scream.

A big black dog came running out of nowhere, grabbed the tongue that fell on the ground, and ran away quickly with its tail between its legs.

When the three were tied to the pillar, they were awakened by being poured with cold water.

Lin Ruoxin's tears fell. She cried and regretted at the same time. She didn't want to die. Who would save her?

The old lady stared at her angrily, with strong hatred in her eyes.

She hated this stupid granddaughter. She came up with all kinds of bad ideas and put the lives of the whole family at risk.

She clearly came to the capital to seek refuge, hoping to live a good life!

Unexpectedly, he would be beheaded!

It was really a complete family that was chopped to pieces!

Three heads rolled side by side on the ground, their eyes filled with resentment and regret.

Lin Xiaoruan and Ling'er stood in the crowd watching the beheading. Although the people on the stage were her relatives, she didn't feel the slightest bit of emotion.

Ling'er looked back at her: "How do you feel?"

Lin Xiaoruan bit her lip and said, "It's very satisfying. They should be considered a family. After all, they passed away together!"

Ling'er took her hand and said, "Yes, I'll take you to buy candied haws!"

"Okay!" Lin Xiaoruan immediately showed a sweet smile.

She followed Ling'er in a skipping manner and soon disappeared.

After she disappeared, a sneaky figure immediately emerged from the crowd. She widened her eyes in disbelief: "Wasn't the Second Young Miss sold to a brothel? How is she still hanging around outside? What's going on?"

She didn't dare to hesitate and followed immediately.

Lin Xiaoruan was walking and chatting with Ling'er when she suddenly realized something was wrong and subconsciously turned around to check.

But Ling'er warned first: "Xiaoruan, don't look back. There's an old woman sneaking around and watching us. If you look back, it will definitely alert the enemy!"

No matter how clever Xiaoruan is, she is still young after all.

She immediately turned pale with fright!

She stiffened and asked, "What should we do then, Sister Ling'er?"

Ling'er pointed to the alley ahead and said, "Let's go hide over there. We'll give her a good beating later!"

Lin Xiaoruan nodded hurriedly: "Okay!"

The two of them quickly walked into the alley and hid at the corner, then saw the man peeking around not far away.

Ling'er bumped Xiaoruan's arm and asked, "Do you know him?"

She nodded vigorously: "I know her. She's my grandmother's housekeeper. She was there when I was sold. She must have been a little surprised to see me walking down the street!"

Ling'er reached out and touched her head: "I think she probably has bad intentions. Why don't you go out and test her and see what she wants to do with you?"

Lin Xiaoruan agreed obediently and rushed out quickly.

As she ran, she yelled, "Mrs. Luo, why are you following me stealthily? What are you trying to do?"

Mrs. Luo was frightened by her sudden appearance.

She clutched her chest with some dissatisfaction and complained: "Second Miss, are you trying to scare me to death?"

Lin Xiaoruan tilted her head and asked, "You haven't done anything wrong, so what are you afraid of?"

Mrs. Luo's face froze, and it took her a moment to remember what she wanted to see her about.

She quickly grabbed her wrist and asked, "Second Miss, weren't you sold into a brothel? How did you manage to escape?"

Lin Xiaoruan broke away from her and said, "The boss lady asked me to come out to buy some things. I have something else to do and I have to go back quickly!"

Mrs. Luo pleaded anxiously, "Second Miss, you must avenge the dead master and the eldest lady and old lady. They were all killed by the granddaughter of the eldest wife who was married off to become the marquis's wife!"

Lin Xiaoruan narrowed her eyes and said, "Mrs. Luo, do you know what I want to say the most right now?"

Mrs. Luo subconsciously asked, "What?"

Lin Xiaoruan spoke word by word: "They deserve it!"

Mrs. Luo was stunned at first, then she angrily accused: "Second Miss, you can't be so heartless. You are the only remaining bloodline of the Second House. How could you just watch the old lady and the others die tragically?"

Lin Xiaoruan sneered: "Now it seems that I am grateful to them for selling me out, otherwise, I would have been implicated and my head would have been separated from my body!"

Mrs. Luo pleaded in a low voice, "Second Miss, the old lady agreed to sell you because she was forced to do so. You are her granddaughter, doesn't she feel sorry for you? It's just that the eldest girl needs capital to make a name for herself. You should be able to understand them!"

Lin Xiaoruan looked at her sarcastically: "If you want revenge, go ahead, why are you dragging me along?"

Mrs. Luo suddenly felt guilty. She was afraid of death. It was said that the wife of the Marquis Zhan Yi was very cruel.

She dare not resort to soft tactics to confront hard ones!

But if you try to fool this fool, you will die.

Then she will be able to rightfully take possession of the old lady's hidden secret money!

Lin Xiaoruan seemed to see through her thoughts and couldn't help but curl her lips and said, "You tempted me to seek revenge because you are thinking about the private property left by my grandmother, right?"
