Chapter 94 "You are not worthy yet."

As night falls, the palace lanterns shine as bright as day.

The entire villa was brightly lit. Three people were standing in the main hall, seemingly intimate, but with an air of weirdness.

Song Jin was surrounded in the middle. She stood there blankly like a frightened bird.

What daughter?

What princess?

What do you mean we have to go to hell together?

What the hell is going on!

Song Jin was about to quietly correct him, and wanted to ask if the King of Qi had found the wrong person, but before she could open her mouth, Madam Lin said sternly: "Are you crazy? You actually want Xiao Shu to recognize the murderer of his father as his father!"

The King of Qi was unmoved. He immersed himself in his warm fantasy and said to himself, "A Yuan, soon after tonight, the whole world will be mine. You are just a commoner."

The King of Qi spoke lightly, as if a human life meant nothing in his eyes.

Mrs. Lin was now completely certain that the King of Qi was crazy!

Madam Lin stretched out her hands and silently protected Song Jin behind her. She glared at King Qi but did not say anything to anger him.

The King of Qi just said that, something big must be happening tonight.

Don't provoke him before you figure out what he wants to do.

Even if this madman has no intention of letting her go, she will try her best to save Song Jin!

When the King of Qi saw Madam Lin protecting Song Jin and retreating half a step away from him, he withdrew his arm angrily and glanced outside.

Fires were already visible, and sounds of fighting could be heard faintly.

The King of Qi said calmly: "A Yuan, I have been waiting for a long time. I will come back no matter what. You wait for me."

After the King of Qi finished speaking, he slowly walked outside.

Because of his slow steps, at first you couldn't tell that he was a lame man.

Madam Lin protected Song Jin behind her until the King of Qi walked away and could no longer be seen. Then she quickly turned around and checked Song Jin from head to toe: "Are you okay?!"

Song Jin shook his head.

Aside from being a little hungry, she wasn't really doing anything.

But she didn't understand a word of what the King of Qi said just now.

Song Jin whispered, "Madam Lin, you seem to have mistaken me. I am not the daughter of the King of Qi..."

"You are indeed not the daughter of the King of Qi." Mrs. Lin checked Song Jin and was relieved to know that she was fine. Then she answered: "You are not the daughter of the King of Qi, but you are not from the Song family either."

Song Jin: "Ah?"

Mrs. Lin paused.

If she had not found a midwife before and was not sure about Song Jin's identity, then the actions of King Qi now would be enough to prove Song Jin's identity.

She was the daughter who was killed by her grandfather just after she was born.

Shi Xiaoshu.

Madam Lin didn't know what would happen after Prince Qi came back. Perhaps after today, she and Song Jin would be separated forever.

Then today is a good time to make things clear.

Mrs. Lin sighed, and the look in her eyes was something Song Jin had never seen before.

The palace lanterns were bright, and Song Jin could see everything clearly.

She felt a little nervous.

Then, she heard Madam Lin say, "Ah Jin, your name is not Song Jin, your last name should be Shi, and your name should be Shi Xiaoshu."

Song Jin was stunned for a moment, she stood there in a daze.

Listening to Mrs. Lin's story from the beginning, those people she didn't know and the things she didn't know came roaring into her mind like a mountain torrent.

Even at the end, the scar on my heart that had been numb for many years began to ache slightly.

Song Jin wanted to say that this was not true, she had found the wrong person, she was Song Jin, but every event from her childhood to the present seemed to be able to be pieced together.

Her mother didn't like her, wasn't close to her, and didn't even allow her to return to Kyoto, not even after they died.

She was sad about this for a while.

Those alienations are real, and those protections are also real.

They even prepared a generous dowry for themselves and found a suitable husband for her.

However, due to some strange circumstances, they were unable to get married.

The situation was serious, and Mrs. Lin simply told Song Jin her identity, but she did not elaborate further.

She didn't expect Song Jin to recognize her now.

There are more important things now.

Mrs. Lin quickly looked around.

The maids and guards surrounded the entire hall and they couldn't escape at all.

"Xiao Jin, listen to me." Madam Lin whispered, "If the King of Qi wins today, he will usurp the throne. We will go to the palace with him to discuss the matter. We must not fight him head-on. But if he loses today, he must die with us..."

Madam Lin took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case, I will fight him to the death. Then you can run away in the chaos. Don't look back. Keep running! I have been missing for a few days. The Lin family will definitely send someone to look for me. Maybe they are waiting outside the manor now. Then you can go find your Uncle Lin. He knows our relationship and will keep you safe."

Song Jin hadn't digested what Mrs. Lin had just said.

She had no memory of those things, let alone any real feelings.

All these years she has always been Song Jin and has only lived Song Jin's life.

But now it’s a matter of life and death, and Song Jin can’t care about anything else.

You have to survive first before you can tell whose daughter you are.

Song Jin grabbed Mrs. Lin's hand and asked calmly, "Mrs. Lin, can you swim?"

Mrs. Lin shook her head: "Not really."

Song Jin said quickly: "Madam Lin, when I was brought here just now, I found a lotus pond in the yard. I saw that the water in the pond should be alive, and it can lead to the outside of the manor. If we jump in, we may be able to swim out."

Madam Lin thought for a moment and said, "They are heavily guarded now and won't let us move around. When the King of Qi comes back..."

Before Mrs. Lin finished speaking, she heard a noise outside the manor.

Mrs. Lin subconsciously hugged Song Jin in her arms.

Song Jin was stunned, and she looked at Mrs. Lin quietly.

Mrs. Lin was not fat, and she had always maintained a delicate figure and did not do any heavy work.

But when she was protecting her, Mrs. Lin was surprisingly strong.

Song Jin's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Mrs. Lin secretly again.

Mrs. Lin didn't notice Song Jin's gaze at all. She was just concentrating on the movement outside the door.

There was a commotion outside the door, but no one inside the village made a sound.

They looked indifferent; they were carrying out the King of Qi's orders while waiting for their own fate.

Not long after, the gate of the villa opened, and Ah Zhong, dressed in black, came towards them.

He led the way ahead, and everywhere he passed was covered in blood.

The guards and maids who were guarding the gate of the manor fell in a pool of blood one by one.

They did not struggle, perhaps because they already knew their fate of being buried alive and knew they could not escape from the villa.

A Zhong walked forward, and the blood on the sharp knife flowed like a small river.

The King of Qi followed him slowly.

Ignoring the lives that had just passed away along the way.

Song Jin was a little frightened. She couldn't help but hug Mrs. Lin, and Mrs. Lin hugged her back.

Mrs. Lin was also trembling.

At the end of this road are her and Song Jin.

She didn't know if they would also become souls killed by the sword.

They simply reached the door, where Ah Zhong stopped, and only the King of Qi entered the main hall and walked in front of them.

The King of Qi said with some regret: "A Yuan, I'm sorry, we should leave together."

Mrs. Lin immediately understood what the King of Qi meant.

He lost.

He escaped back by himself, but he couldn't run far, so he chose to die with them.

King Qi looked at Madam Lin's expression and said apologetically, "A Yuan, I scared you just now. I shouldn't have killed anyone in front of you. But don't worry, they have been poisoned. I just gave them a quick death. They have to leave before us so that they can continue to serve us down there."

Mrs. Lin silently carried Song Jin in. Facing the madman in front of her, her heart was shaking.

But she still pretended to be calm: "I, I promise to go with you, you release Song Jin, she is not my daughter, she is innocent."

"Ayuan, why are you still lying? Haven't you been looking for the midwife and the doctor who saved her at that time?" The King of Qi walked to a palace lantern and said calmly, "You don't have to bother. I have already interrogated those people for you. Song Jin is your daughter. Oh no, now, she is our daughter..."

He said stubbornly: "We are a family, so we have to go together."

The King of Qi had a face as white as jade, and he held a glazed palace lantern in his hand.

He walked to Madam Lin's side and said quietly, "A Yuan, do you know how upset I was when I first knew you and Shi Yan were getting married? I wanted to snatch you back at that time, but I couldn't because my brother was watching me too closely. I couldn't do that. Fortunately, your father said he would give you to me. I didn't sleep that night, but I didn't expect you to run away on the way here. You've been running away for so many years."

"Ayuan, after today, I won't have to wait for you anymore," said the King of Qi, looking outside.

The moonlight is dim and the spring breeze is blowing.

The King of Qi said calmly: "A Yuan, it's time."

After the King of Qi finished speaking, the door of the main hall was closed by A Zhong.

He stood guard outside and no one could escape.

The King of Qi looked at them and raised his hand.

The beautiful glazed palace lantern fell to the ground and shattered into pieces in an instant, and at the same time, the entire main hall suddenly caught fire.

The fire was raging, surrounding them from all sides.

The King of Qi was not surprised at all.

This was something he had prepared long ago.

Those palace lanterns and the flammable oils all over the room were all prepared by him long ago.

The entire Yuhe Villa is his grave.

He stood there, looking at Mrs. Lin and Song Jin who were filled with fear. He felt so distressed that he wanted to reach out and hug them.

He even coaxed her gently: "Ayuan, Xiaojin, it will be over soon, don't be afraid..."

Song Jin coughed violently twice, then she quickly tore off her skirt, soaked it with tea, covered her mouth and nose with it, and gave a piece to Mrs. Lin.

The King of Qi knew that they were just struggling in vain, and he did not stop them. No one could get out alive.

After they leave, A Zhong will go with them.

Before that, no one could get out.

The King of Qi looked at Madam Lin and Song Jin coldly, his lips slightly raised.

Until there was a clang.

He subconsciously looked and found that the locked door was broken!

He frowned, very angry at being disturbed.

But A Zhong, who was guarding outside the door, was already lying on the blood-stained road, dead.

Instead, a white figure appeared at the door.

The figure was calm and indifferent, and ordered: "Fu Cang, take Madam Lin and Ah Jin out."

Fu Cang nodded his head and said yes, then stepped forward and took Song Jin and Madam Lin away. Only Xie Qiao and the King of Qi were left in the main hall.

Xie Qiao walked forward calmly, he came in front of the King of Qi, and put his cold hands on the King of Qi's neck.

Xie Qiao had a calm expression, like a Buddhist.

But the flames rising up from all around him and burning on his face made him look more like a demon from hell.

He tightened his fingers and said calmly, "You are not worthy of dying with Ah Jin."
