When Xiao Taohong heard Li Hua say such things, she was afraid that Li Youran would be frightened, so she boldly interrupted Li Hua.
"What right do you, a mere servant, have to interrupt me when I'm speaking?"
As Lihua spoke, she pulled out a whip tucked behind her back and lashed it at Xiao Taohong.
Seeing this, Xiao Taohong hurriedly squatted down and covered her head with her hands. But after waiting for a long time, there was no sound of the whip falling.
"Talk things out calmly, don't resort to violence all the time."
Li Youran rushed forward and grabbed Lihua's whip tightly.
“You…” Pear Blossom said as she tried to pull the whip back, but it wouldn’t budge.
Just as Lihua was about to exert her strength again, Li Youran let go of her hand. Lihua almost fell in her haste, but fortunately, her servant Xiaocui caught her.
"Men, drag her away and feed her to the dogs!"

"Miss Li, please rest assured, the chief treats you differently from others, and no one in the mountain stronghold dares to touch you."
Li Youran nodded upon hearing Xiao Taohong's words. Recalling the past, he felt somewhat fearful, as he had been trapped in a wolf's den alone. If something had happened to him, he really wasn't confident he could have escaped safely.
"You may plant flowers with care, but they may not bloom; you may plant willows unintentionally, but they may thrive."
Hu Qinqin said with a sinister smile.
Hu Qinqin was initially angry that she hadn't trapped Li Youran and his group in Tongzhou, allowing them to escape.
But unexpectedly, the good news came so quickly. So many people left in a grand procession, but Li Youran alone had an accident.
"Miss, something terrible has happened."
Hu Qinqin's maidservant came running in a panic.
