"This is my grandmother's courtyard, how dare you be so disrespectful to me!" Feng Yu'er said through gritted teeth.
These rough-and-tumble old women dared to take down even the mistress of the second branch of the household, let alone Feng Yu'er, an orphan with no parents. In the future, wouldn't the second master of the Feng family be in charge? Naturally, they wouldn't take Feng Yu'er's words to heart.
The head maid shouted, "If you cooperate, young lady, you'll suffer less. If you don't cooperate, don't blame us for being rough!"
These rough-and-tumble old women were all broad-shouldered and used to doing hard and heavy work. They thought that winning over two young girls would be a piece of cake.
After saying that, eight hands reached out to Lu Qiqi and Feng Yuer.
"Ah~ you little slut, you filthy thing, let go of me right now!"
The lead, rough-looking old woman was pinned down by Lu Qiqi in a flash, her hands tied behind her back, forcing her into a strange, twisted kneeling position.
"Since you're so capable, today I'll teach you how to respect your master!" Lu Qiqi said.
Seeing this, the remaining three rough-looking women rushed towards Lu Qiqi, trying to capture her.
How could Lu Qiqi give them such an opportunity? She kicked the lead, rough-looking old woman away, sending her sliding three meters across the ground.
The outstretched hands of three rough-looking old women attacked Lu Qiqi like vengeful ghosts.
Lu Qiqi grabbed one of the old women's arms and pressed down hard. With a snap, the arm was dislocated by Lu Qiqi.
After several attempts, the three rough-looking old women collapsed to the ground, clutching their arms in excruciating pain, whimpering in agony.
Feng Yu'er looked at Lu Qiqi with even more admiration, clapping her hands and laughing, "Qiqi, you're amazing!"
Seeing the unskilled women lying on the ground, Second Master Feng, who was standing in front of Madam Feng's house, turned ashen-faced.
He didn't know where Feng Yu'er had found such a skilled woman, but his authority was inviolable; otherwise, it would be even more difficult to control Feng Yu'er in the future.
Master Feng said, "Quickly seize this vixen! I suspect she's responsible for the old lady's illness. Arrest her and re-examine her!"
Lu Qiqi never expected that Second Master Feng would dare to abuse his power, distort the truth, and frame her. If she were arrested and imprisoned, she felt that she would have no chance of survival!
This sixth-rank official, Master Feng, insisted on tormenting her to death in prison!
Lu Qiqi knew that this fierce battle could not end well. She pulled Feng Yuer behind her, focused her attention, and did everything she could to protect Feng Yuer.
"Second Uncle, do you want Qiqi's life, or mine?"
"Have you truly disregarded the brotherly bond between you and my father? My father treated you exceptionally well beforehand!"
"Your sixth-rank official position was bought for you by your father, have you forgotten?!"
At this critical juncture, Feng Yu'er actually revealed that Second Master Feng had bought an official position. Lu Qiqi even wanted to cut open Feng Yu'er's brain to see if it was made of mush.
This was clearly a knife to Master Feng's heart, leaving the two of them with no room for maneuver.
Master Feng's face turned from red to purple, then from purple to black. He thought that after his elder brother died, his attempt to buy an official position would be forgotten.
I never expected my older brother to tell such a big thing to a greenhorn like me.
He had always considered buying his official position a lifelong disgrace, and this little girl just casually mentioned it, showing she didn't take him seriously at all.
Why can the eldest brother become a general? He studied hard for many years but couldn't even pass the imperial examination. He had to use connections to fill the national treasury and buy an official position!
Master Feng's eyes immediately turned red, and he shouted, "The eldest young lady has been kidnapped by a witch! Kill the witch and avenge the eldest young lady!"
As soon as Master Feng said this, the servants drew their swords and rushed towards Lu Qiqi.
Lu Qiqi's heart sank; she knew that Second Master Feng was about to kill her.
The servants' long swords flashed, slashing straight at Lu Qiqi and Feng Yuer.
Facing seven or eight long swords, Lu Qiqi showed no fear. Using Feng Yuer as a fulcrum, she quickly kicked the servant holding the sword who was closest to her, sending the long sword flying.
Immediately, she kicked the servant hard in the shoulder, a sound of bone cracking rang out, and the servant was kicked two meters away by Lu Qiqi.
Lu Qiqi easily dealt with the servants by herself, kicking three of them away in no time.
Seeing that Lu Qiqi was keeping a close watch on Feng Yuer, the servants tacitly took a different approach, with one attacking Lu Qiqi's head and the other attacking her legs.
The remaining two attacked Feng Yu'er in the same way, making it impossible for Lu Qiqi to spare any attention for her.
Lu Qiqi cursed inwardly, forcefully threw Feng Yuer away, and quickly bent down to dodge.
As she bent down, Lu Qiqi picked up a long knife from the ground and began fighting with the four servants.
The servants were slashing at vital points with their knives. Lu Qiqi was not a saint; there was no reason for her to worry about not hurting others when they were about to take her life.
Aren't these servants Master Feng's weapons for killing?!
Today, Lu Qiqi will cripple the hand that holds the knife, and see how they dare to treat human life so lightly!
Lu Qiqi gripped her long sword tightly, and with a swift movement, the servants' swords fell to the ground.
"Ah! My hand!"
Amidst the servants' painful cries, it was seen that Lu Qiqi had severed all the tendons in their right hands. They covered their right hands with their left hands, and blood continued to drip from their fingers onto the ground.
Earlier, the servant who had been kicked to the ground by Lu Qiqi rushed out of the courtyard to send more people, but Lu Qiqi was too distracted to stop him.
At this moment, a dozen or so servants wielding long knives have suddenly appeared in the old lady's courtyard, their blades pointed directly at Lu Qiqi.
A dozen or so servants were easy to deal with, but Lu Qiqi wasn't sure if there would be reinforcements later. Her stamina was limited, and she simply couldn't withstand the relentless attacks of dozens of people.
It would be easy for Lu Qiqi to escape alone, but Feng Yuer probably wouldn't survive the night. She couldn't just stand by and watch Feng Yuer die here.
So, Lu Qiqi stared intently at Master Feng, ready to seize the opportunity to capture the leader first.
As long as she holds the knife to Master Feng's neck, she and Feng Yu'er will have a chance to escape.
Perhaps Lu Qiqi's gaze was too sharp, causing Master Feng to become somewhat aware of Lu Qiqi's motives.
"A group of people protect me, and a group of people kill the demoness! Kill her!" Master Feng shouted.
Upon receiving the order, the servants swarmed towards Lu Qiqi.
Lu Qiqi is used to offense. Only by attacking strong enough to cut down everyone can she protect herself without having to defend.
Lu Qiqi launched an attack ahead of time, and the swords clashed, blood splattering everywhere.
Lu Qiqi's face was splattered with bits of blood, but she was unharmed.
Lu Qiqi fought her way through the clash of swords to reach Master Feng, when suddenly the door to Madam Feng's room opened.
"Stop it, all of you!"
Upon hearing the sound, two figures emerged from inside, causing Lu Qiqi and the others in the courtyard to freeze in surprise.
A servant who had been knocked down by Lu Qiqi stood up shakily behind her, his face grim, holding a long knife, and suddenly launched a sneak attack on Lu Qiqi from behind.
"Watch out!" Feng Yu'er shouted in alarm.
