Chen Yong looked at Lu Man in a daze. This woman has bad intentions!
"Third sister-in-law, if I do this in the palace, it will be fine if I succeed. If I fail, your fate will be even worse. My father and brother are gone, and I must protect my mother and my sisters-in-law."
"Our family must be well organized and make plans, waiting for the day when we can return to the capital."
Lu Man stared at Chen Yong, who was determined to win. She immediately pictured the scene of him charging into the capital, and her heart suddenly became excited.
What the seventh brother said made sense. As the only male in the Shen family, he was thinking about protecting them to repay his deceased father and brother. There was nothing wrong with that.
"Okay, let's come back as a family!"
"Fight hard, the worst that can happen is death."
As soon as Lu Man finished speaking, she picked up the broken sword on the table and threw it away.
With a "bing" sound, half of the sword tip was directly inserted into the wall.
(Third Sister-in-law Dependency Value: +8)
Chen Yong heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Lu Man's dependency value had changed.
It seems that the third sister-in-law is also good at fighting and is a good partner.
"Third sister-in-law, let's go. I'm worried that the sisters-in-law will be upset. Let's go and take a look together."
"Okay, let's go and take a look."
........
When Chen Yong and Lu Man arrived at the fourth sister-in-law's yard, she was dismissing the servants in the yard.
Ren Xiaoqing shed tears while patiently saying goodbye to the servant.
Chen Yong then remembered why there were no servants in the yards of his first three sisters-in-law. He turned and looked at Lu Man in confusion.
Lu Man pursed her lips and said, "How could I have the patience of my fourth brother's wife? I just gave them the indenture and sent them all away."
Chen Yong curled the corners of his lips. That's right. The first three sisters-in-law were so eager to die that they didn't care about the servants' affairs.
As long as the slaves were released before the imperial edict came down, they would naturally still have a way to survive, and their lives would be much better than if they were exiled. It was hard to tell who was pitiful and who was not.
"Seventh brother, go hide over there for a while. Wait until the servants leave before you go in."
Lu Man blocked Chen Yong behind her and pointed to a pile of flowers and plants beside the yard.
The situation of my seventh brother must not be spread out, lest Emperor Tianwu take action secretly.
Chen Yong nodded and quickly hid in the dense flowers and plants.
After Lu Man saw Chen Yong hiding, she stepped into the yard.
"Fourth brother's wife!"
"...Third sister-in-law!" Ren Xiaoqing paused slightly while holding the hand of her personal maid, then raised her tearful eyes and looked towards the gate of the courtyard.
Her family had abandoned her, so why should she take these loyal servants with her to die?
It would be better to dismiss them early so that they can still find a way to make a living.
She would like to follow her husband as soon as possible.
Lu Man nodded and glanced at the servants crying in the yard.
"Hurry up and give them the indentures. Tell them to pack up and leave quickly. If they delay any longer, they might not be able to leave."
When the slaves heard this, they widened their eyes nervously and immediately stopped crying.
Ren Xiaoqing panicked immediately and quickly stuffed the indenture and silver in her hand into the hands of her personal maid.
"Hurry, send it to them, and leave quickly."
The personal maid nodded repeatedly and quickly distributed the silver and indentures to everyone.
After everyone took the indenture and the silver, knelt down to express their gratitude, and then hurried into the room.
In just a moment, all the crying servants ran out with their packages.
Ren Xiaoqing looked at the suddenly empty yard and wiped away her tears sadly.
"Third sister-in-law, the road of exile is not something we women can endure. Why don't we go together to find our husbands?"
She was still a little scared of committing suicide alone, and her third sister-in-law came at the right time so that they could kill each other.
Lu Man glanced at her fourth sister-in-law who was talking about suicide as if it were a spring outing, then turned around and shouted towards the bushes outside the yard,
"Come in!"
Ren Xiaoqing looked towards the gate of the courtyard with a confused look on her face.
She saw a person covered in blood rushing out from the bushes. She looked carefully and her eyes widened in shock.
"Seventh---Seventh Brother is alive?"
Ren Xiaoqing looked in disbelief at Chen Yong who strode into the yard, and looked him up and down carefully.
Looking at the way the seventh brother walked, he seemed to be uninjured.
Is this person the seventh brother?
Lu Man nodded. "Seventh brother's injuries are not serious. He has deep internal strength and ordinary people can't hurt him."
These were all told to her by her seventh brother on the way. She saw that there was indeed nothing unusual about her seventh brother along the way. She guessed that he pretended to faint at the beginning just to deceive the people in the palace.
"Seventh brother has deep inner strength!?"
Ren Xiaoqing looked at Chen Yong in surprise, as if she had heard some fairy tale.
How could a playboy like my seventh brother have such profound inner strength?
Shen Yong smiled faintly, walked up to the gentle fourth sister-in-law, and punched the ground in the yard.
With a "bang", the ground in the yard shook twice, and a deep pit appeared under Chen Yong's fist.
He was too lazy to explain and just let his strength speak for itself.
The wind from Chen Yong's fist lifted up Ren Xiaoqing's white gauze skirt, and the aqua blue bow on her waist swayed gently twice.
Ren Xiaoqing widened her eyes, covered her mouth, and looked at the big hole on the ground in shock.
The ground in the yard was paved with stone slabs, but my seventh brother broke them with just one punch. His internal strength is indeed very strong.
Lu Man watched Chen Yong do this again, and the corners of her mouth twitched twice.
"Don't think about committing suicide, Fourth Sister-in-law. My Seventh Brother and I will protect you on your way to exile. We will certainly not let you suffer. Our family will live together in unity, and one day we will return to seek revenge on the tyrant king!"
Lu Man put one hand on Ren Xiaoqing's shoulder and spoke seriously.
