Being tortured by her whole family, she no longer pretends to be a real daughter!

How is this possible?

The jade token in her hand was left to her by her master.

When the master left, he took everything with him except this jade plaque with phoenix pattern. The plaque was exquisitely carved and very beautiful. Thinking that it was the master's thing, she kept it carefully and carried it with her.

As far as she could remember, her master had always held this jade token, until four years ago, when her master disappeared and the jade token came into her hands.

"Did you see it wrong? This jade token was left to me by an elder of mine. It absolutely cannot possibly have anything to do with your Jiang family."

Xu Lin frowned and looked at Lin Yusheng, thinking that she was quibbling.

He clearly stole something, but even after being found out, he refused to admit it.

Besides, how could he make a mistake about the Jiang family's keepsake? It was impossible for him to make a mistake!

"Tell me the truth, who are you? Why did you steal the jade pendant and how did you steal it?" Xu Lin asked with a gloomy face.

Lin Yusheng said helplessly, "I didn't steal anything. This phoenix-patterned jade token is mine, and I've kept it in my possession for several years."

Li Fei frowned and stared at Lin Yusheng, as if trying to judge whether what she said was true or not.

Xu Lin said, "Brother Fei, don't believe what she said. This must be a jade token she stole from an elder. She actually dared to claim it was hers. How shameless!"

Li Fei thought for a moment and said, "You keep an eye on her first. I'll go tell Miss Cixi about this and then ask the elders to find out who lost the jade token."

The Jiang family's jade tokens have always been owned by only the powerful people in the Jiang family, so the number is limited.

In the entire Jiang family, there are less than ten people who hold this jade token.

After Li Fei finished speaking, he hurried inside.

Xu Lin watched Li Fei leave, then glared at Lin Yusheng fiercely, "You're so bold! Do you know the consequences of stealing the Jiang family's jade token?"

Lin Yusheng's face darkened slightly. "A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear. I didn't steal."

Xu Lin's face turned ugly when he heard what Lin Yusheng said.

He couldn't understand why this damned woman dared to quibble when the evidence was irrefutable. Moreover, this woman wasn't afraid of him at all. Why wouldn't she be afraid? He was Miss Cixi's right-hand man. Even the thirty-six nobles had to be respectful when they saw him!

Xu Lin glared at Lin Yusheng and spoke in a condescending tone, "Do you think I can't do anything to you if you don't admit it? Finding this jade token on you proves you stole something from our Jiang family! Just based on this fact, I can beat you to death!"

There was also a thief who came to the castle and stole expensive things but refused to admit it. In the end, wasn’t he beaten by him and admitted his mistake?

So no matter how tough your words are, they can’t beat your fists.

Lin Yusheng curled the corners of his lips coldly, "Really? With you? I'm afraid if a fight really breaks out, you'll be the one to be beaten to death."

"What did you say?!"

Xu Lin's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

He really couldn't believe that this woman dared to speak so arrogantly in front of him.

Xu Lin felt offended. He stared at Lin Yusheng intently, "Don't you want to live anymore?"

In Beihanzhou, no one dared to speak to the Jiang family's guards like that!

Lin Yusheng sneered and said, "We haven't figured out the whole thing yet, and you're already threatening to beat me to death. Do you think you're that powerful? I don't understand what qualifies you to act so high and mighty. No matter how powerful you are, you're nothing more than a guard dog for the Jiang family."

When Xu Lin heard Lin Yusheng say this, his face suddenly turned dark.

"You are so presumptuous!"

A hint of cruelty flashed in Xu Lin's eyes. He raised his hand and hit Lin Yusheng directly.

Because of his anger, Xu Lin's palm was fast, with a sound of breaking through the air, and it was unstoppable.

Lin Yusheng stood there without moving.

Then, a "pop" sound was heard.

Lin Yusheng blocked Xu Lin's palm.

Xu Lin was stunned for a moment.

This woman... could actually block his palm so easily?

How can this be?

Lin Yusheng stared at Xu Lin with cold black eyes, and there was an abyss in his eyes that was as deep as the bottom of the eye.

Xu Lin looked at these eyes and was stunned for a moment. For some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity, as if... he had seen these eyes somewhere before.

While Xu Lin was distracted, Lin Yusheng kicked him hard.

Xu Lin flew backwards and hit the iron gate. The huge force made the iron gate make a loud "clang" sound, as if it would fall apart in the next second.

Xu Lin spat out a mouthful of blood, his internal organs ached, and he was completely dazed.

"Deputy Guard Xu!"

"Deputy Guard Xu, are you okay?"

The other guards were stunned, and several of them hurried over, trying to help Xu Lin up from the ground.

Xu Lin pushed them away and got up by himself.

He clenched his fists, roared, and attacked Lin Yusheng again.

Lin Yusheng did not retreat. At the same time, she also rushed towards Xu Lin. The two fought back and forth for more than a dozen rounds. The speed of their punches and kicks was so fast that the guards around them were dazzled.

Suddenly, Lin Yusheng seized the opportunity and hit Xu Lin's neck with a roundhouse kick. Xu Lin flew out again and fell heavily to the ground.

The other guards saw this and immediately rushed over to surround Lin Yusheng, pointing their guns at her, "Don't move!"

Lin Yusheng stood where he was and raised his hands consciously.

-

In the main hall of the castle.

The door was open, and the luxurious carpet stretched all the way to the main seat.

When Li Fei entered, Sikong Cang was standing in front of Jiang Cixi, with his head lowered like a grandson.

Jiang Cixi sat on the main seat as usual, with an elegant posture, one hand on her temple, and a somewhat lazy look.

She lowered her eyes slightly and looked down at Sikong Cang, "Do you know why I asked you to come here?"

Sikong Cang was nervous, "I know, I know."

Jiang Cixi chuckled, "Okay, then tell me."

Sikong Cang rolled his eyes and cried loudly, "Miss Cixi, my brother was beaten! I know you have always been dissatisfied with the way our Sikong family behaves, but this time, my brother was really beaten! The doctor said that he was almost... unable to be saved."

"Ms. Cixi, I'm going to find that Chinese girl, not for anything else, but to seek justice for my brother!"

Jiang Cixi looked at him, "Who hit Sikong Ming, and why did that person hit Sikong Ming?"

At this moment, Li Fei on the side said, "It's a girl who claims to be from China. I brought her here too."

Sikong Cang immediately said indignantly: "She was just unhappy with Sikong Ming bidding against her at the auction, so she attacked and hurt him!"

Jiang Cixi narrowed her eyes. "But why did I hear from the Second Elder that it was Sikong Ming who was so arrogant and domineering at the auction? Not only did he claim that the auction was the Sikong family's territory, but he also attacked people at the slightest provocation?"
