With nowhere to run ahead and pursuers behind, Jinzhu stood on the edge of the cliff with Muyunyu on her back, experiencing an unprecedented despair!
Soon, Su Renyi arrived with his pursuers.
Su Renyi saw Jinzhu carrying Mu Junyu on his back, and still couldn't believe it. He roared with disappointment, "Why did you betray me?"
Jinzhu knew that everything had been exposed, so she stopped trying to be innocuous: "The First Madam has been missing for so long, so you've been imprisoning her! Su Renyi, are you even human? It's one thing for your second branch to usurp the Su family's position and try to seize everything from the eldest branch, but the First Madam is your sister-in-law! How dare you imprison her? Do you have any respect for General Su, who promoted you to the capital? Without General Su, you would be nothing. You're worse than a beast!"
"You audacious lowly servant!" Seeing that Jinzhu dared to insult him like this, Su Renyi immediately became furious and roared, his face turning red.
"Me, cheap?" Jinzhu retorted defiantly, "First, although I am of lowly status, I am upright and have never done anything against my conscience, such as murder or arson! I am not cheap! Second, I have already gotten my indenture back, and I am no longer a slave! I am not a lowly servant! It is you who have done so many things that are worse than pigs and dogs, I think you are the cheap one!"
This was the first time Jinzhu had been so assertive since becoming a servant. One really shouldn't do anything against one's conscience, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to be so assertive.
This was the first time Su Renyi had ever seen Jin Zhu so sharp-tongued, and he was practically furious with her: "Jin Zhu, how dare you! Did Su Xuening send you to rescue people?"
Besides Su Xuening and Su Yun'an, he couldn't think of anyone else who would want to save Mu Junyu.
“Miss never asked me to do anything. It was my own fault for not being able to stand your beastly behavior and for wanting to save the Madam!” Even at this point, Jinzhu still did not want to drag Su Xuening down with her.
She was certain to die today, and she didn't want Su Renyi to cause trouble for the young lady because of her!
Although Su Renyi might not let Miss go, given her intelligence and resourcefulness, she will definitely not let Su Renyi and his men succeed.
Mu Junyu, who was on Jinzhu's back, was deeply moved by Jinzhu's words.
She hadn't expected this girl to be so loyal to Ning'er; Ning'er had truly chosen the right person.
Upon hearing her address Su Xuening, Su Renyi's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he said sternly, "So you really are Su Xuening's man! I have treated you well, yet you have switched sides to Su Xuening. What benefits has she given you that make you so willing to risk your life for her!"
He had previously thought she was a rare and wonderful woman who understood him, and that she was gentle and submissive. Little did he know that she was actually a spy planted beside him!
He really underestimated this lowly servant girl!
"Pah!" The words "treated you well" disgusted Jinzhu so much she wanted to vomit. "You and your husband are as vicious as snakes and scorpions, no, the entire second branch of the family are as vicious as snakes and scorpions! Knowing I was pregnant, Zhong and Su Feiling drugged me with aphrodisiacs to kill me! How dare you say you treated me well! In the eyes of you beasts, our lives as lowly servants are as worthless as weeds! Pah! Why should I be worthless! I was just a servant, and it was Zhong who made me your concubine. It was clearly not my choice, but now that I'm pregnant, she wants to kill me. Why should I die!"
Hearing Jin Zhu's words, each one stained with blood and tears, Su Renyi felt a mix of emotions. After all, she was his woman, the one who had once borne him a child. But now that she had set her sights on Mu Junyu, she had crossed his bottom line, and also Su Fei's bottom line!
"Jinzhu, hand over Mu Yunyu, and I might spare your life, leaving you with a whole corpse, out of consideration for our past relationship!"
Even he couldn't protect her!
Jinzhu's face turned pale, and she said to Mu Junyu on her back in a panic, "Madam, it's my fault. I couldn't save you. Now we only have two options: either I leave you here and I jump down myself."
She knew she had no way out; if she fell into Su Renyi's hands, she would surely die!
It's said that Su Renyi has long coveted the First Madam, and judging from the manner of those two old women earlier, it seems the First Madam is quite useful to them. Perhaps if the First Madam stays, she might still have a chance to survive.
"Second, let's jump down from here together."
She stood on the edge of the cliff, unable to see the bottom. The cliff must have been very high; whether she lived or died after jumping was entirely up to fate.
Upon hearing Jin Zhu's words, Su Renyi was shocked and shouted, his face turning red with anger, "Jin Zhu, what do you want to do? Put him down right now!"
Su Renyi was so anxious that he was about to step forward, but Jinzhu immediately retreated to the edge of the cliff and shouted, "Don't come any closer! If you take another step, I'll jump down with everyone!"
Su Renyi became extremely anxious and suddenly stopped in his tracks, saying to Jinzhu, "Put the person down, and we can talk things over. I might spare your life out of consideration for our past relationship, as long as you put the person down for me!"
Jinzhu ignored Su Renyi. She knew that if she really let the man go and surrender, she would definitely die!
Jinzhu knew that Mu Junyu couldn't move or speak, so she turned around and asked, "Can you move your fingers?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Junyu used all her strength to move her fingers with great effort.
Seeing Mu Junyu's finger twitch, Jinzhu was overjoyed and asked, "If you choose option one, you don't have to do anything. If you choose option two, you can move your finger again."
Upon hearing Jin Zhu's words, Su Renyi roared again, "What's wrong with you? There's a very deep cliff below. If you fall, you'll die! Put her down now, and I'll spare your life. Mu Junyu will also be safe. I will protect her!"
Su Renyi wasn't satisfied with just deceiving Jinzhu; he also tried to seduce Mu Junyu: "Mu Junyu, don't listen to her. Whatever you do, don't jump off the cliff. As long as you don't jump, we can discuss anything. I can even leave this mountain forest and let you go!"
He could ignore whether Jinzhu lived or died, but Mu Junyu absolutely could not die!
He hadn't yet found out the whereabouts of the military tally, and he hadn't obtained the real Su family military tally yet. If Mu Junyu died, he would never be able to get the real Su family military tally again, so Mu Junyu absolutely could not die!
Mu Junyu didn't believe Su Renyi's nonsense. Although she didn't want to die, she vaguely heard the sound of flowing water below.
However, judging from the sound, the sound of flowing water is very far away, so the cliff must be very high.
If she jumps down and dies, it's better than being caught and tortured. If she doesn't die, then it's because Mu Junyu's life is not meant to end!
Mu Junyu used all her strength to move her fingers again.
Seeing Mu Junyu's fingers trembling, Jinzhu did not hesitate at all and carried Mu Junyu off the cliff.
