Chapter 13 [The Bandit Sister Attacks]

"Okay, you guys are not allowed to drink anymore!"

Xu Youshan would not let people like Jiang Lili die of gluttony.

"Luo Er, serve me some food!"

The servant displayed the jade pieces collected by Magistrate Xu one by one, and used jade plates, bowls and dishes to serve the dishes. It was so extravagant that even this dilapidated temple was made brighter by the brilliance!

Xu Youshan was greatly benefited by the amazement and conspicuousness of the yamen runners and exiles.

"Whatever your Zhaoping Marquis Mansion can afford, I can use too!" Xu Youshan walked up to Jiang Lili and Xin Che with his hands behind his back. He pointed at a pink-dressed maid beside him and said, "This is Wanyu, the female doctor in my mansion. This young master's health depends entirely on her care."

"Then I doubt this girl's medical skills." Jiang Lili said seriously, "Because you look really weak."

"You..." Xu Youshan rubbed his temples. "I've noticed that you're being so eloquent not because you care about your mother-in-law, but because you're deliberately stalling for time by not kneeling for the sake of face!"

The convicts also began to whisper.

"This Jiang has been married to Marquis Zhaoping for less than two weeks. How could she possibly be worried about her mother-in-law's life?"

"Yes, and now that Yang is gone, Jiang won't have to wait on her on the road. It's one less burden."

"I guess everyone else in Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion thinks the same way, right? Look, no one has come out to reprimand Jiang."

"This whole family is full of sinister people, otherwise they wouldn't use such crooked methods as witchcraft to try to rebel, and why are they pretending to be noble and upright all the time?"

The others were denouncing the Zhaoping Marquis family angrily. Chen and Xin Cheng's faces had already turned red, but Jiang Lili had told everyone to calm down and delay time when they were picking mushrooms just now, so they could only clench their fists and hold back.

Xu Youshan could see that Xin Che and the others were very protective of Jiang Lili. Even in this situation, they had never said a bad word about Jiang Lili. Instead, they seemed to be indulging Jiang Lili.

His eyes darkened, and he asked the female doctor to take the pulse of the people in Zhaoping Marquis's mansion to see if they were poisoned.

After taking Xu Youshan's pulse, the female doctor shook her head at him.

Xu Youshan was shocked. How could these people be so lucky? Was there an expert among them?

Didn't my actions just now allow them to have a good meal?

Xu Youshan became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. Seeing that the convicts were still condemning Jiang Lili and others, he came up with an idea.

"Look, these other people have much more conscience than you."

He turned to the group of prisoners who were denouncing him and said, "You are all men of justice. Since Jiang's mushroom soup is not poisonous, I will share it with everyone!"

"This is a small pot, the portion is limited, why don't you all hurry up and join in?"

As soon as Xu Youshan finished speaking, the exiles' eyes lit up like hungry wolves. In just a moment, they rushed towards Jiang Lili and her group from all directions.

Xu Youshan watched coldly. It was common for prisoners to die while fighting for food. It couldn't be his fault, right?

Xin Che protected Jiang Lili, Xin Cheng held Chen tightly, and the four of them surrounded and protected Marquis Zhaoping and his wife.

Such a situation could easily cause a stampede, but the Zhaoping Marquis family had nowhere to escape!

Seeing that the six people were about to be drowned by the crowd——

At this moment, a burning arrow fell from the sky!

The arrow whizzed past the hair and clothes of the two convicts and cut the rope that hung the pot.

“Boom!”

The soup pot fell to the ground, most of the soup spilled out, and the convicts on fire screamed and scattered!

"Fire, fire!"

Many people screamed and ran outside the temple to put out the fire, but they saw shadows in the rain surrounding the ruined temple tightly.

Looking closely, I saw that a group of masked men in black formed a human wall that was impenetrable.

The tiles on the roof of the ruined temple were also untied, and dark shadows entered one after another.

"There's an assassin!"

The servant shouted!

Xu Youshan's heart skipped a beat and he retreated behind the guards.

Xin Che frowned. Assassin? Coming for him? He pulled Jiang Lili closer.

The scene was extremely tense and no one dared to speak!

The wall of people in the rain dispersed, and a woman in blue walked out, with a broad-shouldered, long-legged man in white holding an umbrella for her.

"I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree."

The woman in green came walking in the rain. She raised her head slightly, revealing a pair of sharp eyes beneath her bamboo hat. "Have you asked for my opinion on stopping here?"

Wang Zifu's heart skipped a beat. He finally encountered bandits!

When Jiang Lili heard this voice, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling a sense of powerlessness as if she saw an acquaintance pretending to be cool.

Guan Yue is finally here!

Who would have thought that such a domineering female boss was a little girl who hid under the table to eat spicy strips during class in high school!

He forced a smile and took out his half bag of gold leaves. "Madam, we are a group of exiles from the capital. Could you please be lenient with us?"

"No." Guan Yue shook her head: "Take them all away and search them!"

She waved her hand, and black-clad bandits rushed in from outside the temple and put sacks on everyone in the temple.

Xu Youshan's guards seized the opportunity and used their lightness skills to try to take Xu Youshan away from the roof!

Guan Yue winked at the situation, and the masked man in white beside him threw the flying knife, accurately hitting the guard's vital point!

When Xin Che saw the skills of the man in white, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes and his gaze was fixed on him.

The guard and Xu Youshan fell heavily to the ground, their mouths full of dust.

Xu Youshan was furious: "I am Xu Youshan, the son of the prefect of Yanzhou. How dare this ignorant scoundrel kidnap me?"

"So what if he's tied up?" Guan Yue said coldly, "My rules are my rules!"

"take away!"

Guan Yue then stood on tiptoe and touched the head of the man in white who had just attacked her, "Husband! You did a good job just now!"

The action was like smoothing the fur of a golden retriever.

Jiang Lili was shocked. Could this be the husband-in-law Guan Yue mentioned?

He is so powerful and yet he is completely obedient to Guan Yue.

Awesome, Sister Yue! As expected of a Marxist theory major, she must have taught this husband a lesson.

When Jiang Lili was shocked, she didn't notice that Xin Che beside her was also dumbfounded.

As the people in the temple were put into sacks and taken away one by one, the temple gradually became empty.

Guan Yue was very satisfied with her first shining appearance. After showing off, she remembered that she was here to pick up the poor and needy.

Guan Yue walked in front of Jiang Lili, and her eyes caught the man next to Jiang Lili who had a stunning appearance and outstanding demeanor.

Oh? This must be the beautiful, strong, and tragic prince that Li Meizi had mentioned to me.

Guan Yue suddenly had a bad idea in her mind. She stepped forward and lifted Jiang Lili's chin with her finger. "This little beauty is absolutely beautiful. My idiot second brother just needs a wife. Let's take her!"

Jiang Lili was dumbfounded. She looked pale and almost as thin as a zombie. How could Guan Yue say such a thing?

"How dare you!"

Xin Che's tone was filled with murderous intent and his eyes were fierce, which scared Guan Yue so much that she retracted her hand.

She coughed lightly a few times to hide her embarrassment.

"Take this ungrateful man away!"

Guan Yue arrogantly put her hands on her hips and said, "Except for the girl I like, take everyone else!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the man in white beside her stepped forward and took Xin Che away first.
