The woman was dragged into the shadows, and the lewd laughter of several men sounded particularly frightening in the darkness.

Suddenly, the woman opened her mouth and frantically tore at the men's clothes, crying out, "Sir, save me!"

Several dark figures slowly emerged from the shadows, their faces mocking: "How do you want me to save you?"

The woman's round, grape-like eyes swept across the faces of those people, and despite wearing official robes, she did some rather outrageous things.

A flicker of fear crossed her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

He tried to speak again, pleading, "Sir, please save me!"

The man who bought her pushed her down onto the table, bowing and scraping to the group of men, and said with a smile, "Sirs, please have some first!"

These men had heard rumors that wives were being sold inside the casino, but due to their status, they could only catch a glimpse from afar.

However, some people wanted to profit from them, so they bought the women back to secretly satisfy their lust.

Amidst a chorus of jeers, the woman was treated like a rag doll, someone anyone could step on.

Just when she was in despair, a masked man in white descended from the sky, accompanied by a masked woman.

"If you know what's good for you, release her right now!"

The men slowly pulled up their pants and said with a smile, "There really are some who aren't afraid of death."

"I'm not letting you go, let's see what you can do!"

A smile bloomed in the woman's eyes as she looked at the two of us in despair.

Some people, even though they are born at the age of menopause, still have a desire to live.

At the time, Mai Su'er thought that no matter how difficult it was, she would live as long as there was a glimmer of hope. This is why she did not choose to commit suicide despite suffering so much humiliation.

Yu Shaoqing didn't even bother to draw his sword against these bastards; he could easily defeat them with a single hand, sending them running for their lives.

"The world is going to the dogs. Do you even deserve the official robes you wear?"

The officers clapped their hands and laughed mockingly, "I'm not worthy, are you?"

I couldn't bear to look at Mai Su'er lying on the ground. She had large and small wounds all over her body, which looked very pitiful.

How could her husband do such a thing to such a lovely woman?

I leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Brother Yu, that girl can't hold on much longer."

Yu Shaoqing frowned: "Today, this great hero will act on behalf of Heaven!"

A few minutes later, the man's wails and pleas for mercy came from the alley: "Grandpa, please let us go!"

Seeing that the clothes on these grown men had long since disappeared, and that they were all bruised and battered, I felt extremely relieved.

While they weren't looking, he fed them the pills and threatened them fiercely, "If you dare to tell anyone about this, I guarantee you'll die with your intestines ruptured!"

We rescued the woman and later learned that her name was Mai Su'er, and she was a Lan Yi person.

She didn't cry or make a fuss, and wolfed down several bowls of rice.

Later I asked her, and she only said one sentence.

"I want to live!"

That night, Yu Shaoqing went out. Later, I heard that those men all died suddenly at home, and the reason is obvious.

Mai Suer recovered very well, and was able to get out of bed and move around after half a month. Her first words were, "I want to go back and see my husband."

I know why without you having to tell me.

Because of Mai Suer, her husband's standard of living improved, and when she saw him, he was eating a large meal.

When her husband saw her, he was first shocked, then his face turned furious: "You damned woman, where have you been all these days?"

A tear rolled down Mai Su'er's cheek; it was the first time I'd seen her cry in days: "You promised to protect me for the rest of my life!"

Her husband smiled dismissively, showing no remorse: "So what? Things have changed."

"What I need right now is money!"

Hearing him say that, Mai Su'er's heart sank. She looked at him with hatred and said, "You ruined my life."

"You ruined my life."

His voice grew louder with each passing moment, and his gaze became increasingly fierce.

It was as if they wanted to tear him to pieces.

Then she said something that we never expected: "You are my husband, but I still want to hug you."

The man smiled smugly and opened his arms to hug her, his eyes seeming to say, "See? You still can't live without me."

Just as Mai Su'er and he were embracing tightly, the man's eyes suddenly bulged forward, and he looked down at his abdomen in disbelief, only to see warm liquid flowing down the knife and onto the ground.

She looked at him and laughed, seemingly still not satisfied, she withdrew the knife and then stabbed him viciously in the chest and thigh...

Seeing her face covered in blood and her maniacal laughter, I suddenly felt terrified: "Mai Su'er, it's alright, it's all over."

She leaned against me, crying, and said, "He ruined my whole life!"

I comforted him, saying, "It's alright, we'll live well from now on!"

"I must live a more exciting life than I am now to make up for the hardships I'm enduring."

...

One of the soldiers seemed to recognize her and asked, "You look familiar. Have we met before?"

The man recalled, "A wine shop, a gambling den?"

Mai Su'er trembled, her face pale, afraid that someone would recognize her shameful past.

I shielded her behind me and laughed, "Officials don't say that to every woman, do they?"

That dispelled his idea.
