"The bed is still warm, and the back window is open. He must have jumped out and escaped. Hurry and chase him, catch him alive."
"yes!"
Lin Zhengshan heard the footsteps disappear and waited for about half a cup of tea before daring to crawl out from under the bed.
Zhao Jiao's eyes were red with fear: "Master, who are they? Could they be sent by Su Ruojin to kill us?"
Lin Zhengshan hurriedly packed his bags: "How would I know who they are? Quickly pack your things and go to the capital to find my mother."
Zhao Jiao also understood that, regardless of whether they were sent by Su Ruojin or not, their only hope of survival was to find Old Madam Lin.
As long as Old Madam Lin is willing to forgive them, Su Ruojin will not hold it against them. Only by climbing into the General's Mansion can the Lin family have a chance to turn things around.
The two packed their things and hurriedly left the government office, heading towards the capital.

Upon seeing the token and hearing what Hu Qing had to say, Yan Yang and Ye Xunzhi immediately set off for the capital.
Upon hearing that Xiao Jin'er was in trouble, the other three masters insisted on going with her without hesitation.
After the others left, Wang Xing walked up to Old Master Xiao and said, "Miss Su's masters have all left for the capital. They all looked rushed. I wonder if something happened to Miss Su."
Grandpa Xiao put down his brush and pondered for a moment: "The only one who can get all four of them to come out together right now is Su girl. Something must have happened to her. Send someone back to the capital to find out what happened."
"Yes, sir."

General Su's Mansion.
After listening to everything Su Ruojin had told him, Ye Xunzhi stopped talking and just paced back and forth in the room.
An Shao was extremely anxious: "Big brother, tell me quickly, what's wrong with Xiao Jin'er's illness?"
Ye Xunzhi finally stopped: "I do have an old friend who knows Gu magic, but we haven't been in contact for many years, and I don't know where she is now."
"Is it still possible to get in touch?" Huang Jian asked.
Ye Xunzhi hesitated for a moment and said, "It's possible, but I don't know if she will read my letter. Even if she does, it will take at least a month to get from Xiaoyue to Dachu, and Xiao Jin'er's body may not be able to hold out until then."
"What should we do?" An Shao was so anxious he paced back and forth.
Luo Meiniang sensed something was amiss from Ye Xunzhi's reaction, but now was not the time to dwell on such matters. She said, "It concerns Xiao Jin'er's life, so we must try no matter what."
Ye Xunzhi gritted his teeth: "I'll contact her right now."
Ye Xunzhi turned around and wrote a note, tied it to the carrier pigeon, and a small black thing went with the note.
The days of waiting were hard to endure, and Su Ruojin had figured out when her heart pain would flare up.
The pain alternates roughly every two hours, with two hours of pain followed by two hours of rest, and this cycle repeats.
During this time, with Ye Xunzhi's help, Su Ruojin was able to relieve a lot of pain when it flared up.
Su Ruojin could feel the pain getting worse and worse, and she didn't know how much longer she could hold on.
The news that Su Ruojin vomited blood and fainted that day had already spread like wildfire throughout the capital.
Everyone says that the eldest daughter of the Su family is an unlucky person. She was lost when she was a child, and after finally returning home, she contracted a serious illness. It is said that she may not live much longer.
Some people who wanted to propose marriage to the general temporarily gave up their plans, fearing that they might marry an unlucky person and ruin their family's fortune.
On the fifth day, the carrier pigeon returned.
Ye Xunzhi nervously opened the note on the carrier pigeon's leg, his face growing paler with each reading.
Luo Meiniang hurriedly snatched the note, glanced at it, and looked at Ye Xunzhi with some confusion: "What's wrong?"
