Chapter 124 A Turning Point
After running for an unknown amount of time, they ran into Lin Ruqian and his men who were returning the same way when they were about to reach a bamboo forest.
"Bao'er!" Lin Ruqian rushed over in a few steps, grabbed Lin Bao'er, and said anxiously, "Where have you been? Are you okay?"
Sun Zice, who was behind him, also saw the person on Qin Huyuan's back. His pupils suddenly contracted and he lost his voice, "Xi'er!"
Only Ying Dutong noticed the injuries on Qin Huyuan's body and quickly asked the soldiers to bring medicine over.
Sun Xi'er on his back was taken over, and Qin Huyuan was able to catch his breath and slowly slid down to sit on the ground against the tree trunk.
"We found Miss Sun in the ruined temple, and the group of people pretending to be soldiers." Guard Qin hissed, looked sideways at the wound on his arm, and frowned. "There were eight people in that group, and I killed two of them. If the rest didn't chase us, they must have run away."
Hearing his words, General Ying immediately understood and immediately dispatched a team behind him to search along the road.
"Are there any specific features?" he asked.
Guard Qin shook his head, "It's too dark, I can't see clearly."
Hearing this, General Ying had no choice but to give up.
While treating the wound, Guard Qin's eyes stayed on Lin Baoer, watching her explain to Lin Ruqian and watching her comfort Sun Zice.
From this point of view, Lin Baoer is indeed not like an ordinary child, but like a mature adult, smart and brave, rational and cunning, cunning and resourceful, not like a one and a half year old child at all.
Thinking of the thing thrown out of her hand before, Guardian Qin's eyes darkened, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, letting the soldiers treat his wounds.
Since this is a secret that the Lin family has always guarded, there is no need for him to ask, just pretend that he doesn't know.
"If you act so willfully next time, I will tell mother!" Lin Ruqian threatened with narrowed eyes, scolding, "What if something goes wrong? Even ten lives of mine won't be enough to atone for my sins!"
Hearing that he was going to complain, Lin Baoer's eyes widened suddenly. Just as she was about to speak, she was glared back by Lin Ruqian. She immediately touched her nose with guilt.
"Got it..." she muttered.
[Pooh, pooh, pooh! Bad Third Brother! Obviously, this matter is all my credit! If it weren't for me, I don't know if Guardian Qin would be able to come back safely! ]
[And that Sun Xier! Wasn't it me who found her! If it weren't for me! How could I have found them so quickly! And saved them! You only know how to teach me a lesson! Next time you skip class, I will tell mother! I won’t keep it a secret for you! Humph!]
Lin Baoer was furious, not knowing that Lin Ruqian had heard everything she said clearly, and she was planning to never let this little ancestor stand guard when she skipped classes in the future.
The big and the small had their own plans, while Sun Zice was finally relieved after seeing that Sun Xier was fine.
"She should just be confused by the smoke, don't worry." Ying Dutong patted Sun Zice on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's not safe here after all, shall I take you back to the city first?"
Sun Zice grabbed Sun Xier's hand tightly, suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and nodded.
It was already after midnight when they returned to the Lin Mansion. Lin Baoer's sneaking behavior was finally exchanged for a scolding. In the end, Lin Ruqian was soft-hearted and said some good words for his sister, which made Shen Xuelan let her go.
Lin Baoer returned to the room pitifully and slept until dawn.
What is reflection? She doesn't care!
The next day, the Lin Mansion was unusually quiet. Maybe it was because Lin Mobai and Lin Zhiyu were not there, or maybe it was because of the incident in the Sun Mansion. In short, not only the Lin Mansion, but the entire Yanjing City was caught in a weird atmosphere.
Some people were worried that the incident in the Sun Mansion would harm themselves, and some people expected the emperor to make a decision on this matter immediately to set an example.
It seemed that they automatically divided into two factions, and they were still competing with each other.
In this atmosphere of everyone being in danger, the people in the Lin Mansion also found loopholes in this chess game and searched for clues.
The next evening, Lin Mobai returned to the mansion with a sweaty body.
"What's the matter, second brother?" Lin Ruqian couldn't help asking, "Did you find the person?"
In the past two days, although Lin Mobai was looking for someone privately, he almost turned the entire Yanjing City upside down, almost carpet-searching for the missing Qi Niang.
Unfortunately, no matter how they looked, they couldn't find this person. In the end, Lin Mobai almost suspected that this person had already left Yanjing City.
This is not impossible. After all, one day is enough for a person to escape far away.
This is also the worst result.
Fortunately, things took a turn for the better at the evening of Youshi.
"You found the person in Mingyanfang?!" Lin Ruqian was shocked.
Lin Mobai nodded and drank the tea in his hand. "She has changed her name and even her appearance. If it wasn't Xiaoqing, we might not have found her."
At that time, they had been looking for a long time and couldn't find her. When they were very annoyed and anxious, Xiaoqing suddenly walked into Mingyanfang and went straight to the back hall.
In the back hall, they found Qi Niang with a changed appearance and found a birthmark on her body to confirm her identity. Only then did they confirm that she was the owner of Xianle Pavilion.
"Later, the madam of Mingyanfang said that this person was sold to Mingyanfang a few days ago. Because of her damaged appearance, she was thrown into the backyard to boil water and chop firewood. There was nothing unusual about her." Lin Mobai pondered, tapping the armchair with his fingertips. "Later, I bought her back for interrogation. She refused to talk about the mysterious man who provided Haidongqing. No matter how she was tortured, she would not give in."
"Only when it comes to proving Haidongqing, she is willing to prove that Haidongqing was traded with Sun Ziyu."
"Sun Ziyu!" Lin Ruqian stood up from his chair suddenly and slammed the table excitedly. "I knew it was him! Who else in the Sun family would go to Xianle Pavilion to fool around!"
Lin Baoer glanced at him dimly.
[Is Third Brother scolding himself? Lin Ruqian's body froze for a moment, and
he ignored her, "Second brother, does this prove that the Saker Falcon has nothing to do with Big Brother Sun?"
Lin Mobai shook his head, "She is only willing to prove it verbally, but she can't produce the transaction voucher. Although she can be a witness, it's a bit forced."
"And we can't explain why Sun Ziyu could come up with 1,000 taels of gold."
"Besides, even if it is confirmed that it was Sun Ziyu who did it, if he insists that this matter is related to Big Brother Sun's family, then it's useless, and it will still be linked to the Sun family."
Lin Ruqian collapsed back into his chair, his eyes dull, "What should I do? It feels like it's useless even if I catch that guy..."
