Chapter 572 Extra: Lightning Also Saved My Life and Received 100,000 Taels

"Madam, Young Master, Young Master, I'm late, I deserve to die..."

When the Lin family guards were pushed aside by the refugees, they knew something was wrong. They quickly pushed through the refugees and began searching for Li Muqing, Lin Yunyuan, and Lin Yunze.

As darkness fell, they could only send one person to report to the local authorities, while the rest continued the search.

Thankfully, they found it; otherwise, they would have lost their heads!

Upon seeing Li Muqing, Lin Yunyuan, and Lin Yunze standing unharmed before them, the guards were moved to tears.

"It's alright now, it was this gentleman who saved us."

Knowing that the guards couldn't be blamed for this, Li Muqing calmed herself down and ordered them to follow behind. She then took her two children and rode in a carriage, following behind Lightning's carriage, as they headed towards Qingshan City.

"Mother, I will never again recklessly extend my kindness." After this incident, Lin Yunyuan became more sensible and was no longer as lively as before.

Thinking back to today, if they hadn't encountered the Crown Prince's guards, they would surely have died because of their so-called kindness.

Thinking about everything that happened today, Lin Yunyuan felt dejected.

"Child, it's right that you want to use your kindness to help others, so there's no need to feel guilty."

Seeing her child's downcast mood made Li Muqing feel even more distressed.

If she hadn't been so careless, this wouldn't have happened today, leaving such a deep scar on the children.

Not only was Lin Yunyuan depressed, but Lin Yunze also seemed frightened and remained silent after getting into the carriage.

Li Muqing had tried to comfort the children, but their mood didn't improve, which made her extremely anxious.

Following Xiao Yize's carriage, they traveled for two days and two nights before finally arriving at Qingshan City.

"It's lightning!" Lin Luoxi exclaimed as soon as the carriage entered the city.

"Yes, Princess Changping, Your Majesty has ordered me to escort the Crown Prince to Quanzhou to meet with you."

Upon hearing Lin Luoxi's voice, Lightning immediately jumped off the carriage and bowed to her.

"Xiao Jingchen asked you to send Xiao Yize over here??" Lin Luoxi had a bad feeling.

"Aunt!" Xiao Yize heard Lin Luoxi's voice and poked his head out of the carriage.

Although it had been two years since their last meeting, Xiao Yize was able to recognize Lin Luoxi and hear her voice immediately.

"Hey, Yize, you're here too!" When Lin Luoxi saw Xiao Yize, who had a fair complexion and a dignified appearance, sticking out his head and tilting it to greet her, she was completely charmed.

He walked over and picked Xiao Yize up in his arms.

"Second Aunt, Second Aunt..." Just as Lin Luoxi was talking to Xiao Yize, two boys got off the carriage behind them.

When Lin Yunyuan and Lin Yunze saw Lin Luoxi, they could no longer hold back their tears and they fell down.

They ignored even their own father rushing towards them and went straight for Lin Luoxi.

In their subconscious, Lin Luoxi was more powerful and had a higher status than their father.

"Hey, my goodness, what's this?"

Seeing Lin Yunyuan and Lin Yunze crying, Lin Luoxi quickly put Xiao Yize down, went over, and helped wipe away each of their tears.

“Aunt, on our way here, we ran into Yun Yuan and Yun Ze. They kindly gave money to those refugees, but they were all surrounded and bullied by the refugees. They must have been frightened.”

Seeing the two Lin brothers crying uncontrollably, Xiao Yize helped explain.

"Uncle Lightning has already killed the bad guys who bullied Yun Yuan and Yun Ze." Seeing Lin Luo Xi's unpleasant expression, Xiao Yize explained again.

"It's good to kill him. Since he's not a good person, it doesn't matter if we kill him."

If she were there, she would probably tear those people apart. Anyone who dares to bully her family deserves to die.

Hearing Xiao Yize's words and looking at his listless wife, Lin Wenqian felt a pang of heartache.

"Wife, I'm sorry, I should have gone to pick you up myself." Lin Wenqian was filled with remorse. If he hadn't been so indulgent these past few days, his wife and children wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

Standing to the side watching the family crying and whining, Lin Wenjin and Yang Xiaofeng exchanged a glance and could no longer stay still.

After greeting Lin Wenqian, Lin Luoxi, and Xie Hanchuan, he personally returned to the capital to pick up his wife and children.

Thankfully, you are all alright.

"Lightning, we are so grateful to you this time. To show our gratitude, you must stay for a few more days so that we can properly repay your life-saving kindness."

Lin Luoxi was not stingy with her family's savior.

They invited Lightning and Xiao Yize into the princess's residence and even sent someone to deliver 100,000 taels of silver to Lightning.

Lightning touched the silver note, still fragrant with ink, his heart pounding.

Fortunately, he intervened and saved Princess Changping's family; otherwise, they would have missed out on the 100,000 taels of silver.

He would have to work for Xiao Jing for twenty years to earn 100,000 taels of silver.

It seems that occasional acts of kindness do have many benefits.

"Yun Yuan, Yun Ze, you two stop crying. Being kind is your mistake."

"Your mistake is that you are not strong enough, so you give your kindness to others."

“If you were stronger, that wouldn’t have happened.”

"After this incident, have you realized your mistakes?"

In the front yard, Lin Luoxi saw that both children were struggling to breathe and were still crying. She felt a pang of heartache at first, but eventually felt helpless.

Lin Wenqian is really something else; he only cares about coaxing his wife and doesn't care about his two children at all.

The father is true love, the child is an accident—this saying is very suitable for Lin Wenqian.

There was nothing she could do but stand up and comfort the two children, and give them a lecture along the way.

"Huh?" The two brothers, Lin Yunyuan and Lin Yunze, who were asked the question, looked at Lin Luoxi with tears and snot all over their faces.

"Second Aunt, we...we know we were wrong. We shouldn't have given money to those refugees..." Lin Yunyuan, being older, immediately spoke up about what he had been thinking about these past few days when he heard Lin Luoxi's question.

"No, it should be said that you are not strong enough, so kindness also depends on strength."

"When you lack strength, if you want to show kindness to others, they will only think you are easy to bully and take advantage of your kindness."

"So, quickly calm yourself down, go wash up, eat and drink well, and sleep well. Starting tomorrow, your cousin Zhili will be training you..."

Lin Luoxi's words startled the two children, but they finally stopped crying.

"Yes, Second Aunt, we understand." Lin Yunyuan seemed to have come to a realization. She wiped away her tears and snot, and pulled Lin Yunze away with the servants from the Princess's residence.

"Also, sister-in-law, after this lesson, you should bring more guards when you go out in the future." After speaking to Lin Yunyuan and Lin Yunze, Lin Luoxi saw Li Muqing, who was still crying, and reprimanded her just as harshly.
