"Clap clap clap~"

A crisp clapping sound rang out, but it was Jiang Yue who clapped.

"Tell me, what is your master's intention in kidnapping me, the princess?"

Liu Yugui's expression hardened, and he became serious. He had forgotten that his master had reminded him that if the other party did not cooperate, he should eliminate them completely!

“Princess, Jinling is in chaos right now. My master only asks you to donate 100,000 taels of silver, and 100,000 catties each of medicinal herbs and grain.”

Jiang Yue found it amusing; 100,000 taels of silver—they wanted all of her wealth!

100,000 catties of medicinal herbs and provisions—is she crazy, or is Shangguan Xian'er crazy?

Yes, the mastermind behind it all is Shangguan Xian'er!

Liu Yugui is on the other side's side!

In the original book, this person has a strong talent for business and is regarded as a confidant and highly valued by the female protagonist.

Later, after the female lead became empress, this person was exceptionally promoted to become the imperial merchant...

"Your master really thinks too highly of me, Princess."

Jiang Yue sneered. She had been very low-key, but she still didn't expect to be targeted by the female lead!

She wondered how the third brother was doing in Jinling. Don't get me wrong, she wasn't worried about him being arrested and abused, but rather whether he had gone astray and gone too far.

"So, Princess, you don't want to cooperate with my master?"

Liu Yugui frowned, and tightened her grip on the long knife in her hand.

If this princess is not wise enough to see the situation, then he will have no choice but to cut off her head and threaten her sons to submit!

"Manager Liu, kill her now!"

"If you don't dare to make a move, I will. I want to avenge my father and our Wang family!"

Wang Jinrong's face hardened. Seeing that the man surnamed Liu didn't make a move, he snatched the long knife from the man's hand and approached the woman he hated with a sinister grin...

Liu Yugui did not stop her, but her expression was somewhat unpleasant.

The master's meaning is that it's best to cooperate while alive; if they are really stubborn, it's not too late to kill them!

In the current situation, he did not intend to disobey his master.

What a pity, the legendary woman, Princess Xiangyun, died just like that...

As Wang Jinrong raised his knife to strike, his hand, which was gripping the knife, was knocked down by a stone.

The long sword fell to the ground with a dull thud.

Clang!

"I am sorry for the delay in my rescue, Your Highness."

The one who made the move was Liu Yunfei's bodyguard, who was secretly trained by his father. He usually didn't have the opportunity to make a move, but this was the occasion.

"Capturing these two thieves is of utmost importance!"

Jiang Yue felt no fear from beginning to end.

Beneath his long sleeves, a silver silenced pistol was already prepared.

The knife is fast?

Was it her gun that was faster?

Unfortunately, Yunfei arrived just in time, rendering her pistol useless.

"Is this a trap you set?"

Wang Jinrong said in disbelief, then clutched his injured right hand, veins bulging, and roared in frustration:

"You wicked woman, you'll die a horrible death!"

"Fool, do you know why your father fell?"

Jiang Yue was quickly protected by the guards, and it seemed that she had the upper hand in the situation.

Therefore, she had the leisure to talk a few more words with Wang Sinian's unfilial son.

"Because your father is too arrogant. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!"

"You think you can kidnap me, the princess, right under the noses of the guards with your fancy but ineffective skills?"

"If it weren't for my desire to find out who's behind you, do you think I would waste my breath talking to you here?"

Wang Jinrong was exhausted from dealing with the guards' attacks, and before long, he was covered in wounds and pinned to the ground, unable to move.

Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, but Jiang Yue's attack was on the soul!

Wang Jinrong suffered a stroke, vomited blood, and fainted.

The guards dared not be careless. After looting the person of any hidden weapons or other items, they bound the person tightly with special rope techniques!

The other person, Liu Yugui, was a hidden talent; her martial arts skills were truly superb.

The four guards attacked together, but the battle ended in a draw.

“Godmother, please leave this place first. Leave the rest to me.”

Liu Yunfei uttered the word naturally, and without hesitation, he took off his cloak and handed it to his adoptive mother to keep her warm.

"Okay, Yunfei, be careful."

Jiang Yue was taken aback at first, but then agreed with relief.

Godmother, this child, so that's how much she holds in his heart.

"Clang clang clang~"

"Bang!"

Now was not the time to speak. Under the escort of the guards, Jiang Yue was quickly pulled up by the rope.

One by one, after a short while, the culprit was also tied up.

Just in case, Liu Yunfei had the tendons in the hands and feet of the man with the mustache severed.

"you--"

Before Liu Yugui could speak, her mouth was stuffed with a smelly foot garment.

How did he know it was stinky feet? It was because that brat in the lead took off his shoes in front of him!

"Hmph, you got off easy~"

Liu Yunfei vented his anger, saying it was purely to annoy the other party!

The cave has been explored, but there are no secret passages or hidden passages. It seems that they jumped in from the cliff.

Indeed, it's well hidden!

"mother--"

When Qingsong arrived on horseback, the thieves were already tied up.

He dismounted and approached, carefully examining his mother to ensure she was unharmed.

"I'm fine. Perfect, we've caught the bad guy."

Jiang Yue gestured to her second brother to take a closer look and see who the man whose tendons had been severed was.

"Manager Liu!"

"Shouldn't you be in Jinling? How come you are..."

Qingsong stared in surprise, then, as if remembering something, angrily kicked the other person a few times.

"Mmm~"

Liu Yugui complained bitterly, but with the smelly foot cloth in her mouth, she couldn't make any more noise.

"Let's go, Yunfei, second brother, let's take the thugs back and torture them severely!"

Torture to extract confessions!

Jiang Yue swallowed the last four words, but that's what she thought, and that's what she would do!

"Godmother, please get in the carriage."

Liu Yunfei nodded and respectfully helped his godmother into the car.

Qingsong turned his head and looked at Liu Yunfei, thinking to himself, "Has he given up on that idea?"

That's good. His mother didn't have that kind of idea, and he respects her choice.

Having multiple younger brothers doesn't matter~

"Little Si, if you come to my restaurant for hot pot in the future, I'll definitely give you a 50% discount."

"Huh? Why is it the fourth mistress? Shouldn't it be the third mistress?"

Liu Yunfei was puzzled, as he was much older than Qingyun.

"Ahem, my mother once said that 'mistress' is not a good term, so I'll just call you 'fourth mistress' instead."

Qingsong explained in a low voice that the family rules set by their mother forbade the brothers from having mistresses. A mistress is a woman who interferes in the marriage of the original wife, a vixen.

Now isn't the time for a science lesson; it'll have to wait until we're home before he can properly explain the Wu family rules to Xiao Si.

"Thank you, Second Brother."

Liu Yunfei was in a good mood. Did his second brother's consideration for him mean that they would be family from now on?

Qingsong: Several years ago, my eldest brother, third brother, younger sister, and I had already accepted you.

Although we don't share the same surname and are not related by blood, our actions and relationships over the years have forged a close bond that borders on brotherhood...
