Shen Xingmian was only slightly surprised, but the others, who had not experienced what had happened before, were all somewhat bewildered.
They had only heard that Miss Liu was beautiful, but they had never heard that she was so vicious.
Young women of this age are usually not so averse to seeing blood, and if they heard that someone had committed a crime, they would want to run far away immediately.
How could this person be so audacious as to have his servants commit illicit acts in his own room, right in front of her?
He even threatened people with a knife after being rejected.
No, it wasn't a threat. She really used a knife and stabbed someone many times. She was only slashed on the face when the person fought back in their death throes.
That's really true...
Serves you right!
The lives of maids and servants are also lives. The late emperor of Linyue attached great importance to the penal code. Even if someone was sold into slavery, the master could not easily beat or kill them unless they committed a serious crime.
These two people have clearly done nothing wrong, yet they are being treated like this; it's truly tragic.
Shen Xingyan nervously grasped her sister's hand, unsure of her choice.
"If he was really stabbed several times, even if we get there now, he would probably... have already bled to death."
Shen Xingmian hesitated before speaking.
A normal person would have succumbed to this kind of injury and died long ago after so much time has passed.
If she rushed over, she probably could only help him bring the body out.
The young man immediately perked up and said happily, "No, when I took the doctor there, I first stopped the bleeding and bandaged him up. Only after that did I go and take care of the young lady."
So if you, Fairy, are willing to make the trip, there is definitely still hope.
After he finished speaking, he rummaged through his clothes and found the two taels of silver he had earned from the two students that morning. He presented it with both hands and added, "I also have twenty-eight taels of silver that I have saved up over the years. With these, it will be thirty taels in total."
I know this is meager for saving a life, but I am willing to offer all the money I earn over the next thirty years, except for what I need for food, to the immortal.
Shen Xingmian frowned and asked, "Is it really worth it to sacrifice your entire life to save someone whose name you don't even know?"
The boy's eyes shone brightly, and he nodded firmly: "It's worth it. My cousin sold herself into slavery to save me, and that man fell into this state because of my cousin. Saving him is what I should do."
"Alright, I'll make the trip for you."
Shen Xingmian finally gave in to her soft heart. Since the RV was fast, a little delay wouldn't matter. She could just make another trip; it wouldn't take much time.
She asked her family to fetch the carriage and wait for her on the main road next to the Liu residence, while she quickly ran towards the Liu residence.
Fortunately, the two places are not far apart, otherwise her not-so-strong body would have been exhausted.
Because of the cold weather, there were no longer any onlookers in front of the Liu residence. If it were summer, the place would probably be packed with people by now.
She didn't want to get entangled with Miss Liu any longer, so she went straight to the study to find Master Liu.
Negotiations are naturally more efficient when conducted with clear-headed individuals. If one were to approach Miss Liu, it would inevitably result in endless, repetitive, and pointless conversations.
Pushing open the study door, a gust of cold wind rushed in, causing Master Liu to lift his head. Upon seeing her, Master Liu was startled and immediately stood up, about to perform a full kneeling ceremony.
Shen Xingmian pulled the man back and asked directly, "Where is the servant who injured Miss Liu now?"
She didn't ask if the person was still alive, for fear that this question would remind Master Liu and make him lie that the person was already dead.
Master Liu shook his head and said, "I haven't been paying attention to this person. It's all been handled by my subordinates. I don't know where he is now. How about I take the immortal to ask him?"
Seeing that he seemed fairly honest, Shen Xingmian nodded in agreement and urged, "Then hurry up."
Master Liu immediately agreed and went out to find the man. When he found the steward, he quickly asked, "Where is Li Gui? Bring him to me properly."
When the steward heard that the master wanted to see Li Gui, he thought he was going to punish him, but when he heard him say "bring him here carefully," he knew that the immortal's words had worked.
Li Gui is not dead.
He had a good impression of the man; he was reliable, hardworking, and never lazy. If he hadn't somehow offended the young lady, he probably wouldn't have suffered such a disaster.
However, this person is considered lucky. Although he suffered a great calamity, he was favored by an immortal and will likely rise to prominence in the future.
He was happy to do her a favor, so he quickly went to lead the group.
"Let's go, let's go together."
Shen Xingmian didn't dare wait for them to bring the person up, fearing that a dragging motion would reopen the wound that had just stopped bleeding.
In the end, it was she who got into trouble.
So she immediately quickened her pace and followed.
The place where they were holding him was the woodshed in the backyard. When everyone arrived, Li Gui had already developed a fever and was not very lucid.
Shen Xingmian was currently in the identity of an "immortal," so he was naturally not afraid to let them see his supernatural abilities. In front of them, he gently touched the man's skin for a while, and the man's condition immediately improved.
Li Gui opened his eyes and saw so many people staring at him. Thinking they were there to kill him, he immediately shouted in a loud voice, "Liu Wanyu deserves it! Even if you want to beat me to death, I will still say that she deserves it! Bah!"
Master Liu's face turned green from the scolding. This was in front of the immortals! Was this kid trying to ruin the Liu family's chance to become immortal?
He quickly intervened, saying, "Yes, it's all because Wanyu is ignorant. We will educate her properly. She has already been put in solitary confinement and punished. I will have someone find your indenture right away. You... may leave on your own."
"Huh? Solitary confinement is considered punishment? Your Liu family is really magnanimous towards your young lady. She treats us servants like dirt, humiliating and trampling on us at will. She'll get her comeuppance sooner or later!"
Seeing that he seemed to have endless complaints, Shen Xingmian suppressed the urge to laugh, coughed lightly, and advised, "I have already taken the indenture of that maid and sent her out of the manor. Once they bring you yours, you should leave too."
Shen Xingmian really wanted to say "Stop cursing," but she was afraid that if she said it, everyone would feel awkward, so she kept quiet.
Li Gui blinked, momentarily confused.
He remembered the young lady slashing at Xiaohe's face with a dagger; he tried to stop her and was stabbed twice—ouch!
yes!
He was stabbed twice, how can he still have the strength to curse? Is he still alive?
ah!
In the ensuing chaos, he apparently slashed the young lady's face while trying to seize the dagger...
He's finished.
If he doesn't get his revenge now, he might have to go to the underworld to curse the ghosts.
The more I think about it, the more I feel like I've lost out!
He opened his mouth, intending to continue unleashing his full power at Master Liu.
