Lady Lin looked around the courtyard cautiously; it was silent, everyone had deep in sleep.
Then she moved the firewood and crawled out through the hole.
Once outside, she looked around to make sure no one had noticed, and Lady Lin took off running.
She hadn't gone far when the neighbor's dog, alerted to her presence, started barking loudly.
Lady Lin was prepared for this; she had given the dog half a vegetable bun every day, which she had saved. The dog took the bun in its mouth and wagged its tail as it walked away.
Lady Lin breathed until she had run out of the village and was on the mountain road back to Qilidun before she let out a sigh of relief.
Tears immediately surged forth; she had finally escaped!
She was going back to Qilidun, back to the Wang Family!
Whether it was to kowtow to Wang Yongfu, admit her mistakes, whatever it took, she would never go back to the Lin Family.
