"Okay, if you have the courage, come over here."

She really wanted to see how long this noble lady living in the capital could remain calm.

What she loved most was to tear off the true faces of these noble ladies and watch them beg for mercy at her feet.

All the women who had entered Qingfeng Village were like this without exception. At first they would swear to die rather than obey, but when their lives were really threatened, they would kneel down faster than anyone else.

"lady."

Jiang Weizhen regretted it deeply. It was because of his stupidity that his family was harmed.

"It's okay. I've been to the battlefield with my husband before. This little scene is nothing."

After Yu Shulan finished speaking, she walked towards Li Xinru and stood in front of her.

"Let my mother-in-law go."

"I keep my word."

Li Xinru's eyes flashed, and she quickly pushed Madam Jiang away, then pulled Yu Shulan over and put the dagger against her neck again.

Old Madam Jiang was pushed down. If Liu and Su Wu had not quickly grabbed her, her head would have hit the corner of the table.

She changed her fearful plea for mercy and roared, "Catch this female bandit and beat her severely."

"No, step back." Jiang Weizhen shouted loudly.

"Who dares?" Li Xinru's dagger went deeper into Yu Shulan's neck, and blood flowed out.

"You old woman really have no conscience. She just saved your life, and you turned around and disregarded her life."

"I..." Madam Jiang's face flushed red. "I'm trying to get rid of this evil for the people. I can't let a female bandit like you continue to do evil."

No matter how righteous Madam Jiang's words were, it couldn't change her viciousness.

Jiang Weizhen said disappointedly, "Mother, you should go back to your room and rest. I will take care of things here."

"Second brother, I..."

"Mother, let my sister-in-law take you away first." Su Wu pulled, indicating that they should leave here first.

Liu was so frightened that her legs went limp and she wanted to leave. She quickly pulled her mother to her side and said, "It's too dangerous here. It would be terrible if this female bandit went crazy and hurt my mother."

"Okay, let's leave first."

Upon hearing that she might be injured, Mrs. Jiang immediately agreed to leave.

Without the troublemakers, Jiang Weizhen began to negotiate with Li Xinru.

"The fast horses and banknotes are ready. If you release my wife, I will let you leave the city now."

"Then I'll have to trouble Madam Jiang to accompany me out of the city. Once I'm safely out of the city gate, I'll release her."

"Okay, I'll let you out of town."

Jiang Weizhen readily agreed. "But if you even scratch a hair on my wife's head, I promise to catch you no matter where you are."

Li Xinru raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that Jiang Weizhen, such an unromantic man, had such an infatuated side.

You know, along the way, I tried my best but failed to make him fall in love with me.

She had thought that this was his nature, but now the way he looked at his wife was clearly filled with deep affection.

She was born to hate lovers.

"Let's get out of the city first."

She is now in control and has the final say on how to deal with the hostages.

[She won't let Mother go. Once she leaves the city, she will definitely hurt Mother. Take me there quickly. I want to save Mother.]

Jiang Dingbei, who was holding her, was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly ran out with her in his arms.

Seeing Li Xinru holding his mother hostage and riding away on a horse, he shouted hurriedly.

"Father, give me a horse and I will go too."

"Why are you joining in the fun? Take your sister back." Jiang Weizhen scolded, and he mounted his horse to chase after him.

"Father, I'm worried about Mother too."

Yes, yes, I am worried about my mother.

Jiang Qingwan nodded repeatedly, "Take me there quickly, or something bad will happen to my mother."

Jiang Weizhen was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what his son meant. He hugged Jiang Qingwan.

"I'll take Wanwan there, you don't have to go."

After saying this, he rode away on horseback.

"This..." Jiang Dingbei was extremely anxious. He was so worried that he wanted to run after him.

"Jiang Dingbei, get on the carriage quickly."

Suddenly, a familiar shout came from the side. He turned around and saw his brother and sister driving a carriage to chase after him.

He jumped onto the carriage without hesitation, whipped it, and chased after it.

"We're about to pass the city gate. Do you think I'll let you go?"

Li Xinru looked at Yu Shulan, who remained calm from beginning to end, and couldn't help but ask.

"Whether to release or not depends entirely on the girl's decision. Is my guess useful?"

Li Xinru smiled foolishly, "You really are the most courageous woman I've ever met. Why don't you beg me? Maybe I'll soften my heart and let you go."

"You also said that it's a possibility, which means you might not let me go. You are clearly deliberately teasing me. From the moment you asked me to make the exchange, you have no intention of letting me go."

Yu Shulan sneered, "You just want to see me kneel down and beg for mercy, and then kill me and make Jiang Weizhen regret it."

Li Xinru's eyes flashed with admiration. It was the first time someone had explained her thoughts so clearly.

"I didn't expect you to be so brave and intelligent. No wonder you were able to capture General Jiang's heart. Even a woman like me couldn't help but be tempted by you. It's a pity that we will always be enemies."

"Then stop talking nonsense."

"Are you really not afraid of death?" Li Xinru frowned, not understanding how someone could face death so calmly.

Many people lost their lives at her hands, whether it was her five-year-old brother or the vicious former village chief, they all died in fear and terror.
