Lu Tu asked curiously, "You two haven't left yet?"
Startled, Wang Miaoling suppressed the urge to tease Lü Tu and bowed to him, saying, "Thank you for saving me yesterday, Commandant Lü. I am deeply grateful and will repay you handsomely when I get home!"
Lu Tu glanced at her impatiently and said, "Are you being so polite because you want me to send some more men to escort you?"
Wang Miaoling lowered her head awkwardly, her toes digging at the ground: "Uh... if it's convenient for Commander Lü, it's not impossible."
Lu Tu nodded: "Since you are grateful, then come with me to a place first." With that, Lu Tu led the way.

"Xu Jing told us to drag that woman back. If she doesn't comply, we can kill her maid as a warning."
Upon hearing this, the maid Cuiguo nearly fainted from fright. Fortunately, Wang Miaoling quickly supported her and then questioned the burly man, "Did Xu Jing really give these orders? He also said he would help me find my mother's body..."
The burly man sneered, "Although it wasn't us brothers who did it, I know he sent people to kill your mother!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Miaoling was so enraged that she fell straight backward.
