Chapter 161 If you kick the door again, I will let them play with you

"Where's your Master Wei? Did he leave with Lin?"

Just as she got back to her residence, she heard knocks on the door behind her, so she sent someone to check. Unexpectedly, she had spent so much effort to trick the eldest daughter of the Su family back, and they were actually sent to her residence by Wei Liang's men.

It was most likely that Mrs. Lin was jealous again. Honghua snorted inwardly, "This old woman is so greedy. Not satisfied with just being the legitimate wife of the Su family, she wants to tie up Wei Liang and kill him too. If that's the case, why not just run away with him? This wanting-it-all attitude is really disgusting."

Because Wei Liang was there, she didn't want to argue with Lin, so she just put on her clothes and left. But before she could calm down, Wei Liang sent someone back to her without saying a word.

Where is she now?

The two men were quite respectful to her and said, "Our master and mistress have gone to the Su Mansion. Lady Hong, if there is nothing else, we will go back."

"Go back? Your master is living happily in the Su Mansion, why are you going back? Why don't you have a drink and a snack here with me? It won't be too late to leave tomorrow morning."

Hongniang's words still carried a lot of weight. In their eyes, Lin was the master's first wife, and because of the Su Mansion, the master could only bear the title of uncle, and they dared not get too close to the Su Mansion. However, Hongniang, the master's mistress, was closer to them, the subordinates.

Indeed, on weekdays, whenever Master Su was away, Master would spend the night there, usually returning at noon the next day. So they obeyed his orders and were happy to ask Lady Hong for a drink.

Honghua was instructing the little maid to set a table in her room and prepare wine and food when she suddenly heard banging sounds on the door. She frowned and looked in the direction of the sound.

Honghua's house was more of a compound than a house. Apart from the room she and her staff lived in, the rest of the courtyard was divided into several windowless rooms, each containing only a narrow couch and a wooden barrel, like a prison cell.

"Miss Su, you're still not giving up? Didn't you see it when you came in? I don't have anything else here, but I do have a few strong men. If you kick the door again, I'll let them play with you!"

Sure enough, the intimidation worked. Chicks are like that, when they hear the word "man", they are too scared to make a fuss. They really don't know how to enjoy themselves.

Honghua snorted coldly and continued to lead the two men to her room. Xiaocao, who had just finished hanging out her laundry with an empty basket, passed by her.

The scent of grass wafted over, reminding Honghua of the scent that had lured Su Ying and the others into a trap. She laughed and called Xiaocao back, "Don't rush into washing clothes. Since you've been working so hard, I'll give you a reward. Go meet someone you know. Also, bring some steamed buns and tea. Otherwise, this guy will die of hunger and thirst before he's even been trained."

Just as he was about to turn his waist and take a step, Honghua turned his head again as if he remembered something and added a sentence.

"By the way, if you can give me some advice, please forget the past as soon as possible now that you've come to my place!"

Xiaocao had been staying in Honghua's yard for a while. That bastard Wei Liang not only bullied her, but also threatened to sell her to a brothel. Her name was Xiaocao, but she never wanted to be trampled on like grass. Her body might be broken, but her life was still there. So she didn't run away or make a fuss. Ever since Honghua let her out, she'd been eager to do any work she could, especially the rough work that Honghua's personal maid wouldn't do. Seeing that she was well-behaved and sensible, Honghua granted her wish and didn't sell her off. After all, Wei Liang hadn't spent a penny on Xiaocao, so she'd just take her. It wouldn't be a loss.

"acquaintance?"

Just now, she faintly heard Hongniang say the word "Su". Xiaocao's heart skipped a beat. Could it be another maid from the Su Mansion who, like her, had accidentally witnessed Lin and Wei Liang's scandal? So she hurriedly responded, put down the empty basket, and trotted to the kitchen to get some food. Then she asked the thugs in the courtyard to take her to the room where Hongniang had pointed out, where the newlyweds were to be kept.

Su Ying had kicked the door earlier because not only were her hands bound, but her mouth was also gagged. The room she was in was small and windowless, and the door was the only exit. She kicked hard at the door now because she wanted to see who was there. She wanted to see if they were there, and if they were there, she could find out if there was any chance of escaping from the Honghua compound.

But the red flower seemed to see through her thoughts and only threatened her with vicious words, not taking her seriously at all.

What should she do?

At this moment, she heard the sound of the door being unlocked. She immediately stood up and leaned against the wall, staring at the door with alert eyes.

Unexpectedly, when the door opened, the visitor was so startled that he dropped the bowl and teapot in his hands to the ground.

"Miss!"

......

Back to the two thugs who had been drinking with Honghua, after they had eaten and drunk their fill, no matter how brave they were, they wouldn't have dared to stay overnight at the residence of Wei Ye's mistress. They staggered in their carriage, burping and groaning as they hurried to Wei's house.

But who would have thought that when they were still some distance away from the narrow alley of Wei's house, they saw a group of government officials holding torches coming in, passing their carriage and turning straight into the alley entrance.

The sound of running feet and the red flames sobered the two men up.

"Old Four, is the official heading towards our alley?"

"Third brother, did you see it too?" His voice was trembling. They usually did shameful business and felt uneasy.

The two men did not dare to delay, swallowed their saliva, and immediately whipped the horse.

Unexpectedly, on the way to the Su Mansion, he ran into their grandfather head-on.

After listening to the two people's report, Wei Liang felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

This evening, Old Man Rong had just sent someone to the Su residence to inquire. Even if he had summoned his student, the Yongjia County Magistrate, he wouldn't have been able to persuade the Yueqing government office to investigate so quickly. The Yongjia Chief Clerk had already known that Liu Xianling was a righteous man with no understanding of the ways of the world. It was precisely because of this that Wei Liang had the audacity to have Lin send Su Jianrong away and send Honghua to the academy to seduce him.

I thought everything was foolproof, but I didn't expect that the Yueqing government would raid my house. Then, will the Su Mansion and the Lin family also be in trouble sooner or later?

He raised his hand and waved: "Second brother, take the third and fourth brothers to Honghua."

Too many people is not a good thing, so he decided to drive alone and return to the Su Mansion. If the situation is any different, he will immediately take Lin and the two children away.

Just as he finished speaking, he heard the chaotic sound of horse hooves and footsteps behind him. He looked back and saw a red scene in the distance, as if someone was walking towards them with a torch.

Fortunately, they were in an area with many houses, not on a main street. He quickly directed his men to turn the carriage into the dark, and only turned it out after the sound faded away.

"Master, what should I do?"

The men were so frightened that they didn't know what to do. They didn't need to go to the Su Mansion this time. It was obvious that the group of people just now were the yamen runners they had seen raiding their house before.

......

"Honghua, where is she?"

Wei Liang kicked open the gate of the compound, waking up the thugs guarding the door. The thugs were about to take out their knives to attack, but when they saw it was Wei Liang, they quickly put down their machetes and shouted, "Master Wei."

At this time, Wei Liang's eyes were red and he was shouting that he wanted to take Su Ying's life.
