Shen Xingmian quickly grabbed the person and dissuaded them, saying, "You won't die, watch your words! They still have your indenture in their hands, do you not want it anymore?"

Li Gui regained some of his senses. Of course he wanted it; otherwise, how could he have held out for so long in the clutches of the devilish Miss Liu!

He desperately wanted the contract of indenture between himself and Xiaohe!

The young woman repeatedly deceived them, saying that as long as they did what she wanted, she would let them leave so they could go and live their own lives.

He had been hanging on by this promise for many years, and only after this brush with death did he dare to finally let out the anger he had been holding in.

But upon hearing Shen Xingmian's words, he immediately came to his senses. Acting rashly would only waste all the patience he and Xiaohe had put in for so long.

If they are really willing to give him the indenture, what harm is there in enduring it for one more day?

Once we get out, we'll find Xiaohe, buy some good wine and food, and eat, drink, and curse each other for three days and three nights straight—that would be truly satisfying!

For now, he should just shut up.

A wise man doesn't suffer a loss he can avoid.

Li Gui stopped being agitated, shut his mouth, and stood next to Shen Xingmian. Only now did he have time to check his own condition.

He was stabbed twice. Although the wounds weren't too deep, they should have hurt a lot. How come he doesn't feel anything at all?

Could it be that the doctor gave him painkillers?

That medicine is incredibly effective!

Just as he was thinking, someone rushed in from outside, panting, and handed a piece of paper to Master Liu.

Master Liu glanced at it, and seeing that there was no problem, he respectfully handed it to Shen Xingmian.

Shen Xingmian also looked at it once before handing it to Li Gui, who had been craning his neck for so long.

Li Gui finally obtained the contract of indenture he had longed for, and knowing that Xiao He had already left, he couldn't wait to run out of the Liu residence and not entangle himself with these people for another moment.

"Go outside the gate, someone will meet you there. I still have some things to take care of," Shen Xingmian said, turning to Liu Gui.

Since Master Liu is so sincere, and I've already received so many silver notes from him, I might as well take this opportunity to restore Miss Liu's face.

Otherwise, she was very worried that Miss Liu would become increasingly perverted as she looked at her scars every day, and would take crazy revenge on Li Gui and Li Xiaohe once she found an opportunity.

Although she could give them some money to leave quickly and go far away, there's no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

It's not the theft itself that's scary, but the thief's lingering interest, especially when it's a thief harboring deep hatred.

"Take me to see your daughter."

Upon hearing her words, Master Liu immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, I will lead the way for you, fairy! Please come in!"

The group hurried toward Miss Liu's boudoir. Before they even reached the door, they heard sounds of things being smashed and cursing coming from inside.

"What kind of damned immortal is he? He wouldn't even help someone in distress, he's worse than a dog! And that despicable couple, I only asked them to demonstrate what a wedding night is like, and they dared to hurt me! When I get my chance, I'll make them wish they were dead!"

If they dare to scratch my face, I'll cut off every last piece of flesh from their bodies!

Ugh, I'm so angry!!!

The joy on Master Liu's face had turned ashen, and he didn't dare to look at Shen Xingmian beside him.

He pushed open the door and went in, shouting, "You little beast! The immortals have ordered you to reflect on your actions, and all you've managed to produce are these vile words?!"

Mr. Liu had never regretted it as much as he did now. He had been so focused on his business that he had neglected to discipline his daughter, allowing her to grow up to be such an arrogant and self-centered person.

It seems that things will not end well today.

These vile curses would have been fine if only her family had heard them, but the immortal who was about to let her go also heard them.

What should we do...?

At this moment, Mr. Liu felt utterly exhausted. Neither he nor his wife were particularly wicked or evil, so why had their daughter grown up to look like this?

They've really come to collect debts.

“Master Liu, I think there’s no need to treat your young lady in this state. Why not chain her up and keep her in her room so she won’t go out and cause trouble?”

"If she gets embroiled in lawsuits, no matter how wealthy and powerful the Liu family is, I don't think they can withstand her madness. Sooner or later, they'll all be ruined."

After saying that, without waiting for Master Liu's reply, she disappeared on the spot and returned to her space.

That crazy woman is hopeless; she can't be bothered with her anymore.

Shen Xingmian regretted taking only a small amount of silver notes; if she had left them too many, they probably wouldn't have been able to use them properly.

It would be better to hand it over to her and let her do more good deeds, which would also offset the evil deeds done by Miss Liu.

Thinking of this, the person who originally planned to leave changed direction and went to the backyard. After searching for a while, he found a total of 30,000 taels of silver notes.

Feeling that it was about time, she quickly left the Liu residence.

The trip went relatively smoothly, except for the time spent looking through the banknotes. She was worried that her family would get cold waiting outside, so she left in a hurry.

Sure enough, two carriages were waiting not far from the main gate of the Liu residence. The horses' noses were covered in frost, which made Shen Xingmian very distressed.

Of course, she wasn't just heartbroken for the horse, but even more heartbroken for the people waiting for her inside the carriage.

Upon seeing her come out, Shen Yunting immediately waved to her vigorously, very excited. Judging from her expression, Shen Xingmian knew that she wasn't simply missing her, but rather wanted to know what was going on with this family.

When she got to the carriage, she didn't see the boy and Li Gui. She thought they had already left and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "They are so ungrateful! How awful!"

Just as she was thinking this, the boy came running from a distance carrying a package. Despite the cold weather, he was sweating.

"My benefactor, this is the silver I promised, a total of thirty taels. It's a bit loose, please don't mind."

My cousin feels very bad for keeping your family waiting for so long. She wanted to come out and kowtow to you, but I was afraid she was too weak, so I didn't let her come out.

I, as your younger brother, will convey your gratitude on your behalf.

After saying that, he knelt down on the ground, ready to kowtow to Shen Xingmian.

Fortunately, Shen Xingmian had learned a little martial arts and was quite fast, which allowed her to stop the person in time.

"Get up quickly. I'm not helping you for this. The Liu family is big and powerful. If you stay here, you probably won't get anything good. You'd better leave as soon as possible."

The boy gave a bitter smile and shook his head.

Shen Xingmian understood what he meant. He had saved up so much money for so long, and although he hadn't used it to redeem his cousin from her servitude, he had sent it all to her. He must have run out of money and had no spare resources to move away.

She smuggled 50,000 taels of silver from the Liu family, but she certainly wouldn't give them that much.

For ordinary people, having a lot of money is not necessarily a good thing; it may even bring trouble.
