Wang Songhe immediately decided that there was no need to dawdle any longer.
Just grab it!
He suddenly grabbed the beauty's waist and ordered his servant to quickly bring the carriage over.
Then, he hoisted the struggling beauty onto the carriage and said to the servant, "Let's go! Quickly back to the manor!"
The carriage sped away, and the onlookers, having lost their excitement, exchanged a few comments with those around them. They remarked that the woman Wang Songhe had forcibly abducted today was far more beautiful than the one he had abducted a couple of days ago!
As the crowd commented, they shook their heads. With such a tyrant in the capital, ordinary families dared not let their daughters with even a little bit of beauty go out alone. If they had to go out, they would automatically wear veils.
This woman was unlucky today; by sheer coincidence, Wang Songhe saw her face, which led to this undeserved disaster!
Sigh! I wonder how heartbroken her family will be when they find out!
How pitiful!
When the carriage arrived at the Prince's mansion, the servants saw their young master carrying a woman down, and they all lowered their heads.
It seems that the young master's harem will have another concubine today!
He held Li Yunyan in his arms, and she calmly observed her surroundings the whole way. After entering his backyard, she saw a group of women in all sorts of poses.
Without exception, they were all beauties.
The women weren't particularly enthusiastic when they saw Wang Songhe enter the backyard, and their gazes towards Li Yunyan carried a hint of pity. A few who tried to speak were all turned away by Wang Songhe.
Get out of my way!
Wang Songhe hurriedly carried Li Yunyan back to his bedroom, kicked the door shut, and shouted to the servant, "Tell all the irrelevant people to get lost! Don't disturb my enjoyment!"
"Yes, young master!"
The servant skillfully ushered people out, closed the gate, and left this small courtyard to his young master to accomplish his good deed.
Excitement flashed in Li Yunyan's eyes. This was truly a perfect storm of favorable timing, location, and people.
Wang Songhe placed Li Yunyan on the couch and was about to pounce on her.
Li Yunyan skillfully dodged it.
He raised his hand and flicked a "hemiplegia pill" directly into his wide-open mouth.
They even dislocated his jaw.
The pill melted instantly in his mouth, and Wang Songhe immediately felt numbness in his lower body.
He wanted to scream, to call for help, but found himself unable to speak at all!
He touched his chin in horror, his eyes filled with shock and anger as he looked at Li Yunyan.
"Ugh!! Ahhh!!!"
Li Yunyan took out a handkerchief and began to act.
She stammered, "Young master, I'm sorry. You are an exceptional man, handsome and refined. I fell in love with you at first sight, but alas..."
Her eyes sparkled as she gazed at him tenderly, then bit her lower lip as if in sorrow, and a single, glistening tear rolled down her eyelashes.
Those upturned fox-like eyes glanced at him, instantly captivating his heart and soul.
Wang Songhe immediately calmed down.
A pair of lustful eyes stared intently at her, and a few drops of drool dripped from the corners of his mouth, which he couldn't close.
Li Yunyan was so disgusted that she couldn't bear to look at him. She lowered her eyes and choked out, "Why? Why does your sister have to be Consort Xian? Consort Xian killed my sister and is my enemy! So, young master, even if I love you, I can't be with you! Otherwise, my sister will never rest in peace!"
Wang Songhe's pupils widened slightly. He knew what his sister had done in the palace; she had killed dozens, if not hundreds, of women. So, the beautiful woman before him was the sister of one of those unjustly murdered women?
It's like the flood washed away the Dragon King's temple!
At this moment, he felt some resentment towards Consort Xian. She was already His Majesty's favorite concubine, and none of the other women in the harem could shake her position. Why did he have to be so ruthless towards her?
He lost all the beauties he had his hands on!
At this moment, Wang Songhe had no idea that the medicine Li Yunyan had just given him would leave him bedridden for the rest of his life.
He thought it was an anesthetic that would temporarily immobilize him.
"Uh, uh, uh."
He wanted to say a few words of comfort to the beauty, but he couldn't bring himself to speak. He anxiously tried to reach out and hug her, but he couldn't even touch the hem of her clothes.
After Li Yunyan finished her performance, she walked to Wang Songhe's side, sobbing.
A single chop to the neck knocked him unconscious.
She was disgusted and searched his body, rummaging through his richly decorated room.
They found a lot of silver notes and jewelry, as well as a large number of women's contracts.
Those banknotes all bore the marks of the money exchange, and the jewelry was also quite eye-catching, but Li Yunyan didn't want to take any of them.
After thinking for a moment, he found some loose silver and took the pile of indentures with him.
After leaving the room, it was easy to find the other women's residences.
Yu Lian was one of the women in Wang Songhe's harem; she was abducted by him from the road.
When her family found out, they couldn't afford to offend such a powerful family. Under pressure from the Wang family's servants, they had no choice but to accept the money and sign her indenture.
There were many poor women like her in this courtyard, huddled together for warmth.
Suddenly, a red figure leaped down from the roof, startling them all.
Li Yunyan turned around nimbly and shushed them.
It turned out to be the woman who had just been abducted into the mansion!
Yu Lian, being the boldest among them, stepped forward and asked, "Miss, weren't you in Wang Songhe's room?"
Hearing her address her by her full name, Li Yunyan knew she hadn't come to the wrong person.
When she came in, the woman looked at her with pity.
Without wasting any time, Li Yunyan took out the stack of indentures from her bosom and stuffed them all into her hands, saying, "If you can read, find your indentures and these loose silver coins, and divide them among yourselves! Wang Songhe has fainted now. When I leave, I will take down the guards at the back gate. If you want to escape, you'd better hurry!"
Yu Lian hugged the stack of indentures tightly and asked, "Miss! Then you...?"
"Don't worry about me! You all just need to hurry up and escape!"
"Okay, okay! Thank you, young lady!"
Several women were so moved that they wept bitterly, immediately kneeling down and kowtowing several times to Li Yunyan. Then they quickly separated their indentures and ran back to their rooms to pack their belongings.
Two of them even ran out and called other women to come in together, secretly and tearfully reclaiming their freedom.
Li Yunyan jumped onto the roof again, knocked out Wang Songhe's servant, and then cleared the obstacles leading to the back door for them.
She squatted on the roof for a while, and only left the palace discreetly after seeing that Yulian and the others had all run out.
After these women leave, it's uncertain whether their families will take them in, or how they will make a living.
But that's all Li Yunyan can do for them.
