"I'll go too!" Xia Donglai's words immediately received a response from Lu Ying. There was no one in the courtyard, so Xia Donglai quickly drew his longsword. Sometimes he used a broadsword, and sometimes he used a longsword, depending on his mood that day. But whether it was a longsword or a broadsword, he used them equally well. Sometimes, he would use a sword in his left hand and a broadsword in his right hand in combination, just like eating.
"Save them alive!" Seeing that these two were about to cause trouble, if they died, he would really be unable to use his Gu worms, so Doctor Sun quickly spoke up.
These two people, why do they always threaten to fight and kill each other? Don't they know they should be a little more civilized?
"Don't worry, we know what we're doing!" Lu Ying smiled coldly, his blood boiling again. For many years, he had been obediently following Hu Mingmei, doing nothing, but now, finally, he had something to do!
Lu Ying and Xia Donglai left quickly. Doctor Sun also wanted to see how Huang Wenbai and the others would react when they saw Lu Ying and the others return. However, when he saw Hu Mingmei beside him, who was still calm and composed, he had no choice but to suppress his curiosity.
Well, if even a junior is so calm, he shouldn't be so impatient, making it seem like he wants to see others make a fool of themselves.
Suddenly, Hu Mingmei spoke up, "Dr. Sun, don't you want to go and take a look?"
"We'll see it soon enough!" Doctor Sun's thoughts were exposed by Hu Mingmei, and he was quite surprised.
The old man and the young man walked quickly and soon arrived at Huang Wenbai's courtyard. Upon entering, they found it in complete chaos. Fifteen and Sixteen were guarding the gate. Seeing Hu Mingmei arrive, they were somewhat embarrassed. "Second Master... Steward Lu and the others... I'll go and call them back!" Fifteen and Sixteen had been there the whole time and were unaware of Hu Mingmei's decision, let alone that he had escaped death that day. They only knew that during the day, Bai Nuo had come and told them to open the gate and had sent many maids to serve him. From all this, Fifteen and Sixteen assumed that Hu Mingmei had reconciled with Huang Wenbai and the others, and that Huang Wenbai and the others had become the masters of the house again.
Although Xia Donglai is their leader, Huang Wenbai and the others are still their masters. They didn't stop him behind his back, but now that Hu Mingmei is in front of him, they still have to stop him.
"Ignore them!" To their surprise, Hu Mingmei said, "Close this gate tightly, and don't let anyone out!"
After giving the order, Hu Mingmei stepped into the courtyard. The courtyard was noisy. When a maid saw Hu Mingmei enter, she rushed over and shouted, "Second Master, help! Steward Lu has killed someone!"
They didn't know much about this Steward Lu, only that he was a newcomer who had been promoted after Bai Nuo married into the family, a confidant of Bai Nuo, and apparently the husband of Bai Nuo's older sister. Now, seeing him make a scene in the courtyard with another man before entering the old master's courtyard, they became even more frightened.
Hu Mingmei frowned as she looked at the shouting maid. "What did he do?"
The maid assumed that Hu Mingmei was deliberately blaming Lu Ying, and immediately began to complain, "Steward Lu and a strange man (she didn't know Xia Donglai) rushed into the old master's room and injured the old master and the old lady. Second Master, you should go and see quickly, otherwise the old master and the old lady will be in danger."
"If there's danger, then there's danger!" Hu Mingmei said calmly, which startled the maid.
"Huh?" What is Second Master saying? What does this mean?
While the maid was still in a daze, not understanding what Hu Mingmei meant, another maid who had been adding fuel to the fire beside her noticed Hu Mingmei's strange expression and stopped saying what she wanted to say, quietly moving away from the maid.
"I think they did a great job!" Hu Mingmei looked at the maid. "What do you think?"
"But the old master..." The maid wanted to say more, but she caught a glimpse of someone else's gaze and immediately stopped talking.
"You must remember, you are my people. You must think of me, not them. Even if Madam sent you here to serve, you are still my people. I pay you your wages. Do you understand?"
Although Hu Mingmei was speaking to her with a smile, the maid felt a chill run through her body, as if it were the dead of winter in December. "I...I understand!"
"So what about tonight's events?"
The maid finally understood that Hu Mingmei was indulging Steward Lu, and Steward Lu had his reasons for doing so, since the old master and old lady were not as powerful as a steward.
Nothing happened tonight.
The maid finally said something.
"Very good!" Hu Mingmei nodded. "You may leave now!"
The maid seemed to be liberated and hurriedly left. Hu Mingmei strolled back into the hall. As soon as he passed the maid, he realized that no one dared to rush up to him to plead for Huang Wenbai and the others. He paid no attention to the situation and walked leisurely as if he were in his own backyard.
Doctor Sun followed behind Hu Mingmei, looked at her, and sighed softly. Hu Mingmei's aura was becoming more and more terrifying, and she was vaguely resembling Princess Yuru.
However, no one knows how Doctor Sun met Princess Yu Ru or how he knew about her.
As soon as Hu Mingmei entered the hall, he saw Lu Ying and Xia Donglai had dragged Huang Wenbai and Qian Peilan out and they were lying on the ground, their bodies covered in blood, barely clinging to life, covered in wounds. It looked so painful. He wondered how Lu Ying and Xia Donglai had managed to stay in such pain without fainting.
