However, Lin Qingyuan's sister married into the Qi family and, according to seniority, became his nephew's concubine. He only exchanged a few polite words with her when they occasionally met.

When Qi Heng saw Lin Qingyuan chasing after the woman again, a cold smile appeared on his lips: A playboy is a playboy. The Lin family was almost wiped out, and he's still having fun here.

Seeing the "Di" woman walk towards the next shop, Qi Heng said to his attendants, "Go to the pass and check which tribe entered the pass these past two days, and why they didn't send a note to the Red Mansion!"

The attendant didn't move: "Third Master, that woman didn't come from Guanmen. She came from Pingyang Prefecture with the Lin family and has been staying at Chengfu Inn for the past two days."

The Qi family received the news as soon as the two Censorate envoys arrived in Yunzhou. It was just a minor matter between Lin Qinghua and a military household, which they were unaware of. By the time they found out, the Lin family had already been sealed off.

The Qi family reacted quickly, immediately sacrificing one pawn to save the king, and decided to eliminate the Lin family.

Qi Heng only cared about business transactions within his family and had no interest in these marriage alliances.

However, just after returning from the grasslands, the patriarch told him that the Lin family might leak information, and he tried to silence them but lost five capable subordinates.

The matter was urgent; someone had reported that a noblewoman of the Di tribe had appeared in Hecheng, so he naturally had to come and investigate.

"They came with the Lin family!" Qi Heng's thick eyebrows furrowed: Could it be that the master wanted to get rid of the Lin family not just because of those few slaves, but because they had betrayed their master and wanted to start anew?

Just then, a commotion arose in the street, and a group of people surrounded the "noble lady from the barbarians" and made a fuss about something.

Seeing that the patrolling soldiers were coming, Qi Heng flicked his robe, flipped over and jumped out of the window, landing steadily on the street.

He took a few more steps to stand in front of Lin Qingyuan, a mocking smile appearing on his lips: "Lin Qingyuan, how have you been!"

As Qi Heng spoke, his gaze fell on the bracelet worn by the "noble lady of the Di tribe" next to him, and he immediately gasped.
