Hearing his words, Li Shuang thought that her plea had worked, so she broke free from Li Fu's hand and happily ran over to kneel down.

"Father-in-law?" She looked at him with hopeful eyes.

Yuanbao looked at the two men kneeling before him and sneered, "Since you like eunuchs, then this eunuch will grant your wish!"

He beckoned to Li Fu with his finger, "Come here!"

Li Fu hurriedly bowed and walked over, "What are your orders, sir?"

"These two are yours!"

Li Fu was overjoyed, and his high-pitched voice rose several notches, "This servant thanks you for the reward, Eunuch!"

"Father-in-law?!"

"Forgive me, sir!"

"Please, Your Excellency, have mercy!"

Huang and Li Shuang were so frightened that they kept kowtowing, and soon their heads broke open and bled.

Li Fu is usually very mean and sarcastic towards them. If they become his women, they might not even have a few hours of peace in the future!

After admiring their panicked expressions, Yuanbao remarked, "Their noses still need to be cut."

He turned and left.

"Father-in-law!"

"Grandpa Yuanbao!!"

No matter how much the two women tried to persuade him to stay, Yuanbao never looked back.

Li Fule trotted over, reached out his hands, grabbed the back of their collars, and pulled them up with a force.

He sneered, looking at Li Shuang's terrified face, his voice filled with endless malice and mockery, "Eunuch Yuanbao has already gone far away. Don't worry, Eunuch Yuanbao doesn't want you, but I, Li Fu, do. Come with me!"

"I won't leave! I don't want to! Let me go!"

Li Shuang struggled desperately, clutching her nose in despair, not knowing how things had turned out this way.

She never expected that Yuanbao, a mere eunuch, would refuse her.

After losing her nose and suffering disfigurement, she never had another chance to seduce high-ranking officials and nobles. How could she ever escape this dark and hopeless place again?

Despairing, she strained to rush into the well beside her.

"Stop her!"

Li Fu was well-prepared. He had seen plenty of palace maids who threatened to die at the drop of a hat, and he had plenty of ways to deal with such people!

He coldly gave the order, "Cut off her nose and then bring her to our house!"

"Yes, Father-in-law!"

Several rough eunuchs dragged the struggling Li Shuang outside.

Li Fu looked down at Huang Shi, whose expression was blank, and patted her face. "You're more obedient than me. Come on! We'll pamper you first!"

Huang just stood there blankly, tears streaming down her face, as Li Fu dragged her toward his residence.

Cutting off a nose is easy. In less than half an hour, Li Shuang, who had lost her nose, was bandaged up and taken to Li Fu's residence by several eunuchs.

The pain coming from her nose made Li Shuang feel incredibly clear-headed.

She faced reality and knew that she could never leave this hellish place, so she could only make the most of what she had.

Although Li Fu was a dead eunuch, he was the head eunuch of the laundry department. If she served him well, she could at least eat and dress warmly in the future and wouldn't have to work so hard as to clean chamber pots every day!

She had already made up her mind, and when the eunuchs led her into Li Fu's room, she showed no sign of reluctance.

She glanced at Madam Huang, who was lying on the inside of the bed, covered in wounds and barely clothed, and her eyes flickered.

"Tie her up here."

Li Fu pointed to the pillar at the head of the bed and gave orders to the eunuchs.

"Yes, Father-in-law!"

Several eunuchs picked up ropes and tied Li Shuang's hands and feet to the four bedposts, so that she would never be able to jump into the well again, or even leave the room.

Li Shuang obediently allowed them to tie her up. She looked at Li Fu and said softly, "Eunuch Li, this servant will not run away again!"

"Ha! Now you know fear?" Li Fu laughed twistedly, "But it's too late!"

He waved the eunuchs away to the door and stretched out his hands to Li Shuang.

With a forceful pull, her palace maid's clothes were reduced to rags and carelessly tossed to the ground.

Li Shuang trembled slightly. She didn't know what it was like when the eunuchs did this. But she was mentally prepared. No matter what, she had to perform well.

She forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and said in a coquettish voice, "Father-in-law, please have pity on me~"

Li Fu chuckled and reached out to touch the bedside. "Alright~ This eunuch will now pamper you!"

Li Shuang felt him pick up something and gesture with it under her.

She got goosebumps all over her body and struggled to turn her head until she finally saw what it was.

Her eyes widened suddenly!

That was—the stick he used to beat her with!

"ah!!!!!"

A piercing scream came from inside the room, startling the eunuchs guarding the door.

They crowded around the window, eager to see how Eunuch Li would discipline this disobedient palace maid.

They did this all the time, and Eunuch Li never stopped them. Sometimes, after he had finished disciplining them, he would let a few of them go in and have some fun too.

They were watching intently when suddenly a lame man with one eye appeared beside them.

"Hey you little rascal! You just popped out like that, you scared the hell out of me!"

"Little Chongzi! Have you finished your work? What are you doing here?"

One of the eunuchs, who knew the inside story, sneered, "I know! Inside are his mother and his sister! Little Chongzi, are you trying to come and rescue them?"

The eunuch's smile was sinister and terrifying, and Li Chong hurriedly shook his head.

No, that's not it!

He was slapped across the face. "If that's not it, then what are you doing here?"

Li Chong covered his head and begged for mercy, "I was just passing by! This servant was just passing by!"

"Then get out of here right now!!!"

"This servant shall get out now!"

Li Chong listened to the pitiful cries from inside, his face showing some disgust.

He originally thought that his second sister could get close to Eunuch Li, which would surely make his life easier in the future, so he came here specifically to see.

But judging from the sounds inside... it seems that Second Sister isn't favored by Eunuch Li either! He's struggling to even protect himself, let alone save them!

All he could do was rush away before the next slap came.

The screams inside the house lasted for more than half an hour. At first, there were pleas for mercy and crying, but in the end, only low moans remained.

Li Fu was tired, so he threw down the stick and got off the bed.

The stick rolled to the ground, leaving specks of blood in its wake.

He stretched comfortably, feeling particularly refreshed after a great day.

He stepped outside and, in a good mood, said to the group of people who were staring at him expectantly, "Go inside and have some fun!"

Seeing that they were about to rush in, he added, "Don't play too hard, we want to play for a few more days!"

"Don't worry, Father-in-law! We know what we're doing!"

"Yes, Father-in-law! Don't you know us? We'll handle it accordingly!"

Li Fu nodded in satisfaction and waved to them.

Go!
