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

Lin Xiaoxiao was thinking of going around to their backs so she could secretly take Song Wanning and the others away.

Suddenly, a stray arrow appeared and shot swiftly toward Song Wanning.

"Watch out!!"

Lin Xiaoxiao reacted faster than she thought when it came to saving people, grabbing a round stool and rushing out.

However, the arrow was intercepted.

An Eleven deftly drew his sword and deflected the arrow, then stood beside Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao noticed that she was protecting herself, so she wasn't afraid.

"Sister-in-law~!" When Song Wanning saw Lin Xiaoxiao, he couldn't hold back his emotions any longer.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't try to coax her like before. Instead, she said warily, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's cooperate and go outside first."

An Yi was surprised that the young mistress would be so calm at a time like this.

He couldn't help but think more highly of Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Do you really think you can escape? Guards, fire the arrows!"

At the steward's command, countless arrows shot towards Lin Xiaoxiao and her companions.

Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly looked for something to defend herself, only to find that the little girl beside her had used her sword to knock down all the arrows that were attacking her.

Such skill instantly won over Lin Xiaoxiao.

"You're quite skilled, young lady. As a reward for protecting me, I'll give you this hidden blade."

Lin Xiaoxiao handed a finely crafted hidden arrow to An Eleven.

Although Tianqi also has hidden arrows, Lin Xiaoxiao's is different.

This hidden arrow contains 200 embroidery needles, which not only allows it to be fired from a long distance.

Furthermore, the embroidery needles were coated with poison. Although the amount was small enough not to be fatal, it would still render the enemy unable to fight.

An Shiyi glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao, then stretched out his arm, asking her to help him put it on.

After Lin Xiaoxiao explained how to use the hidden blade, the girl seemed to have unlocked a cheat code.

It didn't take long to get rid of everyone in the restaurant.

An Eleven's eyes gleamed with joy as he looked at the hidden arrow.

He then took the hidden arrow off his sleeve, intending to return it to Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao refused to accept it: "What are you doing? Didn't I say I was giving it to you?"

It was past eleven o'clock when he nodded without any pretense and put the hidden arrow back on.

But her reaction stunned An Yi; it was the first time he had ever seen Xiao Shiyi show such emotional change.

After rescuing Song Wanning and the others, Lin Xiaoxiao, along with An Yi and the others, rescued other girls.

But Lin Wanwan was nowhere to be seen!

Lin Xiaoxiao knew this was Chu Junze's territory, so she would be fine.

So I didn't stay to look for her anymore.

Under the cover of night, a group of people followed the marks left by Lin Xiaoxiao.

Soon they arrived at the gold mining site.

To their surprise, the once-hidden cave entrance had been completely exposed.

Two torches were stuck at the entrance of the cave, and from a distance, it could be seen that they belonged to Lu Hu and other exiled criminals.

When Lin Xiaoxiao returned with the girls, all of the girls' relatives excitedly came to greet them.

Su and Liu also ran over with tears in their eyes to check if Lin Xiaoxiao and the others were injured.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know what had happened here, but judging from the situation, it seemed to be a great victory.

But just when everyone was happy about being reunited...

Qiao Siyan couldn't find her daughter in the crowd and was calling out in anguish.

A kind-hearted girl walked over to her and comforted her.

"Madam, please don't be sad. We did indeed search carefully for your daughter there."

But there's still no news of her; perhaps the young lady has already escaped.

Qiao Siyan glared at her resentfully: "Who knows if what you're saying is true? Why did you all come back, but my daughter didn't?"

She was unaware that this matter was related to Chu Junze, so she was very worried about Lin Wanwan's safety.

At that moment, a delicate-looking girl stepped out from the crowd.

She squatted down next to Qiao Siyan with a look of heartache on her face.

He sighed and said, "Actually, I also wanted to wait there for news of your daughter."

But it was Lin Xiaoxiao who saved the person, so I had no say at all.

Seeing Madam so heartbroken, Rou'er felt truly guilty.

This woman's words immediately put Lin Xiaoxiao in the eye of the storm.

Qiao Siyan, in particular, went crazy after hearing this and ran to Lin Xiaoxiao to question her: "Why didn't you save my daughter?"

You are her older sister, have you fulfilled your responsibilities as an older sister?

Why wasn't it you who disappeared, but my Wanwan?

After saying that, Qiao Siyan broke down in tears.

The girl named Rou'er quickly helped her catch her breath.

Lin Ziqian looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with a face full of reproach.

But this time, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't need to say anything; the families of the girls she had saved...

They started to defend her.

"How can you blame Miss Lin? She did conduct a thorough search at the time."

"That's right, they've already severed ties with you, why should they still be responsible for you?"

"But this Miss Rou'er is truly an ingrate. If she really had such thoughts back then..."

Why not stay and wait for the second young lady of the Lin family?

Lin Xiaoxiao then walked up to Rou'er.

"If Miss Rou'er is so kind, perhaps I should send you back!"

Upon hearing this, the girl named Rou'er frowned angrily and said, "How could you be so heartless?"

Lin Xiaoxiao: "I was just doing what you asked for, how did it become me being heartless?"

"You are a truly wicked woman!"

As Lin Xiaoxiao grabbed Rou'er's hair and pulled it back, two loud slaps landed on Rou'er's face.

"See that? Now that's what you call a vicious woman."

He then slapped her face twice hard and said, "These two slaps are to teach you how to be a good person in the future."

"Miss Lin, please stop hitting him. I apologize on behalf of this child."

A woman ran over, grabbed Lin Xiaoxiao's arm, and kept crying and complaining.

Lin Xiaoxiao has important things to do right now, so she doesn't have the time or inclination to discipline her daughter.

They simply threw the person into the woman's arms.

"I hope you can educate her properly in the future and prevent her from biting people indiscriminately again."

Then Lin Xiaoxiao walked up to Madam Su and asked, "Mother, where is Song Wenjing?"

Su pointed to the cave behind her: "I wonder what that child is doing in there. We've been out for quite a while."

Is Song Wenjing still in the cave?

Lin Xiaoxiao continued to ask, "So how were you rescued?"

Mrs. Su said excitedly, "This is all thanks to the local officials who discovered something was wrong here."

Troops were sent over and rescued us. The local villagers have already been sent home.

We're the only ones left here, planning to find a way to rescue you tomorrow.

I didn't expect you to come back on your own.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't have time to investigate further: "Mother, I'm going to find Song Wenjing. You all stay here in peace."

After Lin Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she entered the cave.

As she watched her departing figure, Mrs. Su couldn't help but sigh, "These two children have such a good relationship."
