Before confiscating their property, they emptied the imperial city and exiled them!

Just as Lin Xiaoxiao was about to leave with her people, the county magistrate, who had been observing from the side, suddenly came to his senses.

He hurried over to Lin Xiaoxiao's side, his face beaming with smiles, and said, "Oh dear, Mrs. Lin, please wait a moment."

This young lady was the heroine who tore down that notice; I wonder what will happen to that hefty reward?

As he spoke, he gestured with his eyes for Lin Xiaoxiao to look at Su Yanyan, who was standing not far away.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked in the direction the magistrate pointed, and when she saw Su Yanyan, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she quickly walked forward.

He greeted Su Yanyan warmly, "Oh my, it's you! What a coincidence! I never expected we'd be so destined for each other."

Faced with Lin Xiaoxiao's enthusiastic attitude, and Song Wenjing, whose eyes were only on Lin Xiaoxiao, he was overwhelmed.

Su Yanyan's face stiffened slightly, but she still managed a forced smile and replied, "Hehe, yes, it is quite a coincidence."

At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao turned around and faced Magistrate Fang, saying in a very generous manner, "As for the reward, Magistrate Fang, you can just send someone to your residence to collect it."

Over the past few days, Lord Fang and all the brothers in the yamen have put in a lot of effort and hard work for this matter. You have all worked very hard.

Therefore, I plan to host a banquet for everyone at the Yingbin Building in a few days, and I hope that you, Mr. Fang, will grace us with your presence.

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Fang's face immediately lit up with a mixture of surprise and delight.

He nodded hurriedly and replied, "Of course, of course! Thank you for your kind invitation, Madam Lin. I will certainly attend the banquet on time."

In fact, he knew very well that the Mrs. Lin in front of him was by no means a stingy or miserly person.

The reason I specifically inquired about the bounty earlier was simply because the amount was truly enormous, and I asked one more question just to be on the safe side.

Song Wenjing followed Lin Xiaoxiao further and further away until their figures disappeared from Su Yanyan's sight, at which point she came back to her senses as if waking from a dream.

Recalling how Lin Xiaoxiao paid that huge reward without even blinking or hesitating, Su Yanyan couldn't help but secretly marvel.

From that moment on, she knew very well that she and Song Wenjing would probably be worlds apart and strangers from now on.

Just thinking about the almost infatuated look Song Wenjing gave Lin Xiaoxiao just now...

Su Yanyan felt as if a huge rock was blocking her heart, making her feel extremely heavy and uncomfortable.

Could it be that even though he had lost his memory, he was still able to fall deeply in love with Lin Xiaoxiao the moment he saw her?

Nevertheless, deep down, Su Yanyan still held onto that last sliver of hope.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then turned to the magistrate standing beside her.

Mustering his courage, he asked, "Excuse me, sir, who exactly is that young lady from 'Ten Taels'?"

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Fang's face immediately showed a look of doubt, clearly not understanding who the "ten taels" she was referring to was.

Seeing this, Su Yanyan immediately realized what was happening and quickly explained, "Oh, I'm sorry, sir, you may not know this."

"Ten Taels" is merely a name I gave that young master after he lost his memory.

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Fang nodded as if he had just realized something, and then slowly said, "Oh, I see! The 'ten taels' that the young lady mentioned is indeed of extraordinary importance."

You must know, he is the son of the dignified Lord of Youzhou City, and not only that, he is also the husband of Madam Lin, one of the wealthiest women in Youzhou City!

After listening to these words quietly, Su Yanyan felt an overwhelming sense of loss welling up inside her.

Could that beautiful and charming woman really be his destined "good man"?

The image of them standing side by side just now involuntarily floated into my mind. The two in that picture were like a match made in heaven, so perfectly matched.

At this moment, Magistrate Fang seemed unaware of the change in Su Yanyan's emotions.

He continued talking to himself, "However, young lady, you are quite lucky to have received such a huge reward."

After saying that, he looked at Su Yanyan with a big smile on his face.

However, at this moment, Su Yanyan could only force out a smile that looked worse than crying, with the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, appearing somewhat forced.

Are we blessed?

She asked herself silently in her heart.

But why, at this moment, did she feel an unbearable bitterness in her heart, as if she were being pricked by thousands of tiny needles at the same time?

Just then, a man in a light blue robe who had been standing quietly beside Magistrate Fang could no longer contain himself and strode forward.

He leaned close to Magistrate Fang's ear and whispered, "Sir, did you just overlook something extremely important?"

Magistrate Fang's smiling face suddenly vanished, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He turned to look at the advisor beside him with a suspicious expression.

He asked with a slightly puzzled tone, "What important matter is it? Why do I, the magistrate, have absolutely no recollection of it?"

Upon seeing this, the clerk in the blue robe couldn't help but sigh softly.

He lowered his voice and said, "Don't you remember, sir? That young lady just mentioned that General Song has lost his memory."

However, just now, Madam Lin was completely unaware of this.

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Fang's eyes widened suddenly, his pupils slowly dilating, as if he had suddenly grasped the key to the matter.

Immediately afterward, he slapped his forehead and exclaimed as if suddenly realizing something, "Oh dear! Quick, quick, quickly send someone to inform Madam Lin of this news immediately."

No… this matter is of great importance; I, the magistrate, must go there myself!”

Before he could finish speaking, Magistrate Fang was already extremely anxious, his steps hurried, and he even became somewhat flustered.

In the blink of an eye, he dashed out like a gust of wind.

The advisor was left behind, looking helpless and shaking his head with a sigh as he watched the man's departing figure.
