Chapter 74 Liu's Rumble
As for the eight guards, they were left alone in the yard.
One of them lost his patience and walked up to the oldest one, whispering, "Boss, we have a mission. Are we just going to be left here by an idiot like Zhu Hongchen?"
The guard leader stood still, his expression unwavering. "No rush. We just arrived here and haven't figured out the details of that evildoer yet. Let's wait and see what happens. Last time, our entire army was annihilated. The Empress was furious and ordered us to bring back that evildoer's body!"
"Yes, boss!" The seven guards bowed in response.
The eight people stood there quietly, as if they were originally from the City Lord's Mansion.
Little did they know that their actions were seen by Qingye who was not far away.

Before Bai Yaoyao and Madam Hu reached the upper room, they heard Liu's crying coming from inside, sometimes high and sometimes low.
"Wuwu... Yaojia, my poor daughter, how could you be beaten like this! Old Madam, we are both children of the Li family, how can you be so partial to us! Our Yaojia went to the banquet, but Li Mingyan didn't care! When it was Bai Yaoyao's turn to go, he took her hand in hand! He and Bai Yaoyao were enjoying delicious food and drinks in the front hall, while our Yaojia was whipped, wuwu... Poor Yaojia, she was only ten years old, and she was beaten like this, how could you have the heart to do that! She is the daughter of the Li family..."
Old Madam Li sat there with tears on her face. Li Yaojia was her granddaughter, how could she not feel sorry for her?
However, before she could express her sympathy to Yaojia, she was angered by Liu's unreasonable demands!
"Liu, what are you talking about? Yaoyao only received the invitation after you left. She's so young, who else would she follow if not her cousin? And you, knowing that the City Lord's Mansion had invited Ming Yan, did you ever say a word about letting the siblings go to the City Lord's Mansion together so that they could help each other? You were afraid that I wouldn't let Yaojia go, so you hurriedly took Yaojia out early in the morning! Now that Yaojia is in trouble, I'm lucky I didn't hold you responsible, but you're blaming me instead? Who gave you the face to do that?!"
"I...I..." Liu was speechless after being rebuked. Suddenly, she wiped away her tears and started crying again. "Why did our Yaojia get beaten for no reason? Isn't it because she was poorly dressed and looked down upon? If she wore gorgeous clothes and expensive jewelry, who would dare to embarrass her?"
"Did Yaoyao not give her something to wear or something to put on? Hmm? Why did she go there dressed so simply? Hmm? Not to mention the things Yaoyao gave her, our family makes four new sets of clothes for everyone throughout the year. Since she and Yaoyao are girls, we have four extra sets! I ask you, where did her new clothes go? It's ok for you to take her things normally, but now that she's going to the City Lord's Mansion, you actually took away all the clothes and jewelry Yaoyao gave her and wouldn't let her wear them! You made her get laughed at, and that's why she got beaten up later! How dare you say I'm partial? Do you have a black heart?"
"Yes, I didn't dress Yaojia in good jewelry. That's because Bai Yaoyao gave us too few things! Just a piece of rag and a few pearl flowers. Who is she being stingy about? There are so many good things in the storehouse, but she was reluctant to give them to Yaojia. She simply wanted to embarrass us Yaojia!" Liu stood up from the ground crying, pointing at Madam Li, "In my opinion, you people just can't tolerate us Yaojia! Just like you can't tolerate me! You're trying every way to drive our Yaojia out and make Bai Yaoyao the eldest daughter of this family!"
