Chapter 102

Fengli couldn't bear to watch it any longer. She looked up at the two guards and whispered, "Let's go down and rescue them first."

The two guards nodded, and while the patrol of the house passed by, they each held Pineapple's shoulders with one hand and carefully jumped down from the roof.

After landing, the three of them looked around vigilantly. Seeing that there was no one around, they slowly prepared to push the door open and go in.

Before that, the two guards looked at each other and shook their sore arms together. This pineapple girl is really heavy!

The old woman in the room was about to raise her hand to hit the other half of Li Shuang's face, but was interrupted by the two concubines sitting on the couch.

One of the concubines was named Li Lian, who was from the same village as Li Shuang and they had interacted with each other in the past. How could he bear to see her being beaten?

"Two maids, how could you hit her so hard? After all, this girl still has to serve me. What if she can't recover after you beat her like this?"

"Yes!" said another concubine.

"This..." A maid felt a little bit sorry for the situation, and she looked at her companion beside her.

The other maid glared at her, thinking that she was useless. She looked at Li Lian with some contempt. She was just a toy caught by the master for entertainment, but she really thought she was the master. She said, "Madam Li, this is the master's order. If we don't do it, and the master blames us, will you bear the responsibility for us?"

"Mammy, what I mean is, could you please be gentler? I know she made me angry, but I am a gentle and kind person. She might regret it in the future. Please be kind and show mercy to her." Li Lian pleaded.

As early as when she knew that Li Shuang was captured, she had thought about letting him go secretly. However, there were many thugs in this house. Although she was a concubine, she was actually just a lowly maid. She was just a pastime for that bastard Li Yao. The servants in this house never regarded them as their masters at all.

Seeing Li Lian pursing her lips, looking angry but not saying anything, the nanny snorted and said, "She is ungrateful and has made me angry. She deserves to be punished." As she spoke, she was about to attack again.

When Li Shuang was captured, she was locked up in the woodshed for a long time without food or water. Now she was slapped in the face and felt even more dizzy. However, she refused to admit defeat. She pursed her lips tightly and glared at the nanny fiercely, saying, "Sister Lian, you don't have to beg her. She is just a vicious dog under Li Yao. She doesn't deserve it!"

"You!" The nanny was furious. A prisoner who didn't even know if she could live to see the next day dared to scold her. So she raised her hand and was about to hit him, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was using all her strength.

"No!" Li Lian hurried forward and hugged her to prevent her from hitting Li Shuang.

"Let me go!" The nanny struggled to push her away.

At this time, Pineapple pushed the door open and walked in with two guards, then quickly closed the door.

Fengli took advantage of their stunned moment and covered the nanny who was about to attack Li Shuang with one hand, then she exerted force with her other hand, making two cackles and immediately stopped the nanny from hitting her.

The nanny had her mouth covered and could only scream. The pain from her dislocated arm was so severe that tears came to her eyes.

"What I hate most in my life is evil slaves like you who rely on others for power. Now you have fallen into my hands, you are unlucky." As she said this, she raised her leg and kicked her hard, causing her to whimper again in pain.

"You... who are you?" another maid asked in horror when she saw the three of them dressed in black.

A guard quickly grabbed her wrist, raised the knife and put it to her neck, saying, "You'd better not make a sound, or the knife in my hand will draw blood."

"No, no, I won't make any noise. Please spare my life, sir!" the nanny begged.

Another guard took down the silk decorations in the room, tied the two maids together, and stuffed cloth in their mouths.

Li Lian and another concubine helped Li Shuang up, and the three of them huddled together. Although they helped them, they were afraid that they were bad people because of the way they were dressed.

Fengli pulled off her veil, looked at Li Shuang, and said, "Miss Li, don't be afraid, it's me!"

Li Shuang was a little surprised to see that it was the young master who appeared at home before, and asked, "Young Master, why are you here?"

"Do you know each other?" Li Lian looked at Li Shuang and said.

Li Shuang nodded, "I know him. He has been to our house before." Then she asked, "Sir, are you here to..." save me?

"It's a long story. I have something to do right now, so I can't talk to you more." Fengli said, "Well, you two should find a secluded place to hide first, and I'll ask you to leave here later."

"Is this... possible? Can you really take us away?" another concubine said happily. But seeing that there were only three of them, it seemed unlikely.

Li Lian said, "Sir, you may not know that this house is heavily guarded. Li Yao has also deployed many thugs in secret. There are only three of you. How can you defeat them?"

Li Shuang's originally happy face suddenly fell, and he said: "Young Master, if you can escape, do it quickly, and don't be dragged down by us." I heard from my mother before that he was just coming from Xuanzhou to seek refuge with relatives. Now it seems that the identity of this young master should be not simple. But no matter what, she didn't want to drag him down.

Fengli waved her hands, her face firm, and said, "Don't worry, after tonight, you will be free."

"Okay, I won't say any more to you. Just listen to me and find a secluded place to hide."

Li Shuang pursed his lips and said, "Then be careful."

Pineapple nodded.

Manager Li paced back and forth. When he saw his nephew coming in, he frowned and said, "You should take care of yourself and stop hanging out with women all day long."

Li Yao smiled and said, "Uncle, you don't understand the joys of the boudoir."

Manager Li rolled his eyes at him, knowing that he wouldn't listen no matter how much he said, so he said, "Have you checked the recent accounts?"

Li Yao nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry about my nephew's work."

"Are the account books and deeds in good order?"

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Li Yao asked.

Manager Li shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know what's wrong. My eyelids have been twitching all day."

"Uncle, we have been doing this for many years and nothing has happened. You can rest assured." Li Yao said.

Manager Li glared at him and warned him, "You better behave yourself these days and stop making noises. Otherwise, if you attract the attention of the young lady, it will be bad news."

"Uncle, I heard that the young lady is illiterate and probably can't even understand the accounts. What can she discover?" Li Yao said disapprovingly.

Fengli, who was hiding on the beam of the pavilion outside the house, sneered when he heard this, "You bastard! My young mistress knows a lot more."

Manager Li frowned and said, "I heard that Madam Jiang was called in for questioning by the Young Madam today."

"What's the matter? Maybe she's asking about something else. The old woman is on the same boat with us now. She won't be so stupid as to report us, otherwise her whole family will suffer." Li Yao said coldly.

"For safety reasons, ask your subordinates to behave themselves these days and not to go and collect debts. Wait until Master Rui's birthday party is over."

Seeing his uncle's serious face, Li Yao had no choice but to nod and agree.

Manager Li gave him a few more careful instructions and then left.
