Su Mengyan was drugged and was still unconscious. Situ Yao asked the host to check on her and was relieved only after confirming that she was fine.
After coming to his senses, he came to deal with these people.
"Who are you? Do you know who I am? You'll be scared to death if I tell you. Let me go right now." Cui Li glared at Situ Yao courageously.
Cui Mixue was furious and stepped forward to give him a loud slap on the face. "You prodigal son, you're capable of kidnapping a decent woman. What else can't you do?"
Cui Liyong was beaten and jumped up and down in anger. "Why did you hit me? Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're my sister. I'm the young master of the Cui family in Longxi. Let alone just liking a woman, even if I killed her, it would only be a matter of paying some money. Besides, she's just a maid, right? At most I can pay a few more taels of silver."
Cui Mixue was almost angry to death. How could she have such a hindering brother?
"Why did you kidnap my maid?" Situ Yao asked.
Cui Liyong said without hesitation: "She is beautiful. I liked her the moment I saw her. Since you have captured her, why not sell her to me and I will give you 100 taels."
Situ Yao had a gloomy face and said nothing.
Although Cui Liyong was a little scared, seeing that the man was dressed in ordinary clothes and didn't look like him among the children of the aristocratic families in the capital, he bravely said, "Is it too little? Then I'll give you a little more and give you two hundred taels. Two hundred taels is enough for you to buy four maids."
The man in black was angry and held the hilt of the knife, waiting for Situ Yao's order to strike the boy with the knife.
The room became quiet. Except for Su Mengyan who was sleeping soundly, everyone held their breath and dared not speak.
After a long while, Situ Yao said coldly, "Tell me, who sent you here?"
Cui Liyong was stunned. "What? Who asked me to come?"
"Although you pretend to be lustful, the sachet on you is a token of the most famous Nanfeng Pavilion in the capital. I will give you one last chance. Who told you to do this?" The man in black
"You are talking nonsense. How could I be attracted to men? It's your honor that I have taken a fancy to your maid. Let me go quickly. If you don't, my men will come and show you what I am capable of." Cui Liyong shouted.
Cui Mixue panicked: "Who did you call? Tell me, who did you call?"
Situ Yao's identity must not be exposed. If Situ Yao's identity is exposed because of this idiot, all her efforts will be in vain.
Cui Liyong sneered, "Who else could it be? Of course it's the guards in our mansion. I'm telling you, if you're smart, let me go now and hand over your maid to me. Otherwise, when my guards arrive, you'll be in big trouble."
The man in black could no longer bear it and pulled out a knife, putting it on Cui Liyong's neck. Cui Liyong immediately became obedient, "You...you don't do anything rash. If you dare to touch me, the entire Longxi Cui family will not let you go."
"If you want to live, tell the truth." Situ Yao was cold and solemn, and he did what he said.
Cui Mixue suddenly felt cold all over. She looked at Situ Yao nervously and wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy. However, she couldn't reveal that she knew his true identity. She could only grit her teeth and beg: "Sir, please forgive me when you can. Look..."
Situ Yao ignored her and just glanced at Feng Yi. Feng Yi immediately drew his sword and slashed at Cui Liyong.
His thigh was stabbed and blood was flowing. His screams were enough to shake the house.
"You scoundrel, how dare you hurt me? I want your life!"
Feng Yi took the knife and slashed his thigh again. Cui Liyong no longer dared to yell or curse, and was afraid to beg for mercy: "My lord... I was wrong, I was wrong, is it not enough, please forgive me."
"Tell me, who asked you to kidnap my maid?"
Seeing Cui Liyong still hesitating, Cui Mixue wanted to beat him to death: "Why don't you tell me now? Are you really going to lose your life?"
Feng Yi raised his sword again. Cui Liyong could no longer bear it and screamed, "It's the Earl of Zhongyong, it's the Earl of Zhongyong's son Baicheng."
