Chapter 662: The Fox Takes Advantage of the Tiger

Bai Lu said coldly to the outside of the car, "Stop talking nonsense, go and bring the two slaves that our master wants. If you delay our master's work, your Fangruoyuan will be closed down."

Yunxiao and another secret guard were outside the carriage, cooperating very well and staring at Mother Fang with cold eyes.

Upon hearing this, Fang's mother's expression straightened. "May I ask which lord is here to do business in Fangruoyuan? It's not that we can't ask the lord to take the person away, but you don't know that the women who enter our Fangruoyuan are all criminal slaves who have committed crimes in their masters' homes. They can't be redeemed easily, otherwise it would be against the rules. If the masters who sell the criminals know about it, they will definitely cause trouble for our Fangruoyuan."

"Our father-in-law..." Bai Lu cleared her throat and pretended to have said the wrong thing carelessly, "Our master's surname is Xia. If anyone dares to cause trouble, just tell him to go find Xia Shaocheng, and our master will give him an explanation."

Fang's mother was shocked. They were actually from the East Factory? No wonder the two servants who showed up had such a strong murderous aura! She said that when she invited the young master in the car to play in Fangruo Courtyard, he would be scolded. As for the father-in-law, he would naturally feel offended when he heard such words!

Xia Ning, the Junior Chancellor of the East Depot, had a bad reputation and the brothel was the place where news was most well-informed. Mother Fang had heard a lot about the East Depot's ruthless actions and had also seen them arresting people.

However, the Eastern Depot has always been tyrannical and has never arrested people without any reason. They just take people away directly. Why would they redeem them?

Mother Fang was a little hesitant.

The people in the carriage seemed to see through her thoughts. A soft but hoarse voice that was difficult to tell whether it was male or female came out from the carriage, mocking her, "What? You don't want the ransom? You are such a jerk. I'm in a good mood today, but you refuse my toast. Do you really want to drink a penalty?"

The voice was undoubtedly that of a eunuch, and only those who held the power of life and death and were in high positions of power would have such an accent.

Seeing the two men standing outside the carriage also reaching for the knife handles at their waists, Fang's mother's heart trembled. She didn't dare to think any more and said in a tight voice, "Don't be upset, sir. I will bring the person here right away. It's just... it's just that Chunhong, whom you want, is gone. There is only one Daibi left..."

"How did the person disappear?" In the carriage, Yu Jiao's expression changed slightly, and she asked in a casual tone, imitating Cheng Ying's tone of voice.

Mother Fang did not dare to hide anything and said, "When the girl was receiving the guests, she was tortured badly. Later she fell ill and died."

There was silence in the carriage for a moment, "Bring the remaining one."

Mother Fang agreed and hurried back to Fangruo Courtyard. Not long after, she brought over Daibi, who was wearing a thin dress and was even naked. Mother Fang did not dare to look up at the carriage and said flatteringly, "Sir, I have brought the person here."

"If someone asks you where she is in the future, do you know how to answer?"

The voice belonged to the maid who had scolded her earlier. Mother Fang did not dare to offend her again and hurriedly asked, "I will say that you took her away?"

"I think you don't want to live anymore." Bai Lu said coldly, "If you leak the news and delay my master's work, you will be held responsible!"

Mother Fang was startled and quickly changed her words, saying humbly, "I will keep my mouth shut and say that the girl escaped on her own. What do you think, sir?"

"She's quite smart." Bai Lu said, "Give her a reward."

One of the two men standing outside the carriage handed a stack of silver bills to Mother Fang. Mother Fang didn't dare to take the money from the Eastern Depot and refused to accept it.

But the man ignored her completely, threw the banknote to Fang's mother with a cold face, jumped into the carriage, and drove away. The other man grabbed Debbie and left with the carriage.

Mother Fang watched the carriage disappear at the alley before she breathed a sigh of relief. How had she gotten into trouble with the East Depot for no reason? It seemed she had to ask someone to send a message to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The carriage drove out of Zhixiang Street, and Wei San, who was hiding in the carriage, breathed a long sigh of relief. Originally, Yu Jiao wanted him to pretend to be Xia Shaocheng, but Wei San really couldn't learn to speak like a eunuch. Fortunately, the third lady dressed up very well and he was not exposed.

He subconsciously glanced at the Third Miss and Bai Lu. Seeing how calm they looked, Wei San was really impressed.

Outside the carriage, Dai Bi was held tightly by the man's big hand and barely staggered to keep up with the carriage. She was extremely nervous and didn't understand why the people from the Eastern Depot wanted to take her to do something. Then she saw the carriage suddenly stop and a man dressed as a servant came out of the carriage and sat on the shaft to take the position of the man who was driving the car.

Debbie was surprised to see Yu Jiao's face behind the opened car curtain.

"Come up first and leave here." This is a place of right and wrong and it is not suitable to stay here for long. Although Yu Jiao looked calm, she felt a little uneasy in her heart. Mother Fang was only frightened by her for a moment. If she calmed down and thought about it carefully, and if she realized something was wrong and asked people to chase her, it would be troublesome.

When Debbie saw that it was Yu Jiao, she hurriedly climbed into the car. Yunxiao and another secret guard jumped out and disappeared into the alley.

Wei San drove out. Yu Jiao was about to lower the car curtain when she saw a very familiar figure in the alley ahead. The person turned left at the end of the alley and disappeared.

Yu Jiao lowered the car curtain and asked Dai Bi, "What's the place on the left at the end of the alley?"
