"You... who are you to dare to meddle in our affairs? You are so bold. Do you know the identity of our master?"
The other big men opened their eyes wide and shouted loudly.
Jiang Xueying remained calm and mocked.
"What does my status have to do with me? Do you think you can be called the king just because you have a loud voice? How ridiculous!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she attacked again, and after a few rounds, she beat the rest of them so badly that they were bruised and swollen, and they all begged for mercy.
She looked at them coldly, then turned to look at Lan Yue and said, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, young lady, how do you want to deal with them?"
"I...I don't know."
Lan Yue was just a maid, and she didn't know how to deal with these people.
Jiang Xueying frowned. According to her temper, she would not leave any of these people alive, but now she was not the only one present, so she couldn't just take action directly.
After a while, she found a rope and tied up the men. She wrote the words "beating women" on their foreheads, then turned to look at Chen Simin who was trying not to laugh and said, "Find someone to send them to Yu Feng."
I believe Yu Feng will definitely treat them well.
"Okay, then Sister Jiang, what about you?"
"I still have some things to take care of—"
"My two ladies, thank you for your help today. I beg you to be kind and save her. Please help my young lady as well. I beg you."
As Lan Yue spoke, she kowtowed desperately on the ground, each time louder than the last, until the ground was stained with blood.
Jiang Xueying felt sorry for her and this was not the place to talk, so she could only help her up.
"Okay, stop begging. We can help you, but I want to know the specifics."
"Thank you, thank you."
Afterwards, they followed Lan Yue to a remote courtyard. As soon as they pushed the door open and entered the inner room, they saw a woman struggling and hanging in the air.
"Miss!"
Lan Yue widened her eyes in shock, then shouted loudly, her voice full of fear.
Seeing this, Jiang Xueying frowned, flew into the air, picked up the woman hanging on the beam and put her on the ground.
But the woman's face was extremely pale, and she looked like she was about to die. Seeing this, Lan Yue hugged the woman and cried out in grief.
"Miss, Miss, why are you so depressed? If you leave like this, how can I explain to the master and the mistress, Miss!"
Chen Simin on the side was also shocked. She never expected that they were one step too late and the man was already dying.
Jiang Xueying frowned slightly, observed the woman's condition, and then quickly pricked several of her acupuncture points. The woman, who had been motionless, suddenly started coughing violently, and it took a while for her to regain consciousness.
"Miss, Miss, you finally woke up. Fortunately, you are okay."
Lan Yue's eyes were red from crying, and she quickly supported her.
"Lan...Yue, am I...still alive?"
When the woman saw Lan Yue, who was crying and hugging her, tears slid down her lifeless eyes, and she looked lifeless.
"Miss, of course you are still alive. I have found two kind people who are willing to help us. You must hold on."
Lan Yue cried and tried to persuade him, saying that her young lady's life was too miserable. Such a kind-hearted person had to meet those wicked people, and her true love was really wasted.
Hearing this, the woman was slightly startled, and then looked at Jiang Xueying and the other person, the tears in the corners of her eyes flowing more and more uncontrollably.
She was really helpless. These days, no one was willing to help her, as if all roads had come to an end.
But these two women, they...how can they help?
"My two ladies, please help my young lady. As long as you are willing to help, Lan Yue will serve you as a slave for the rest of her life."
As she said this, she prepared to kneel on the ground and kowtow.
Jiang Xueying quickly stopped her and frowned.
"Let's not talk about these for now. Since I said I would help you, I will do my best. But please tell me about your young lady's situation first."
She couldn't make a decision until things were clear. After all, they had just arrived, and the capital was a place where all kinds of people mixed together. They couldn't help with many things.
Besides, Jiang Xueying knew this person. Wasn't she the bullied lady she saw on the street last time? I heard she was the wife of the prefect. How could she end up like this?
"Well, I'll tell you right away."
Lan Yue wiped the tears from her face and told the story of Ming Rulan.
"My young lady's name is Ming Rulan. She was originally the eldest daughter of the Minister of Revenue. She has been loved and pampered in the Minister's mansion since she was a child."
"The young lady is kind-hearted and treats us servants very well. She is more like a sister to me and never treats me as a servant. Moreover, she has been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was young. She is well-educated and well-mannered. She is a lady of noble family that is praised by the nobles in the city."
"But... I just met the wrong person."
At this point, Lan Yue's voice couldn't help but choke up, and regret flashed across her eyes.
"When my young lady was a young girl, she met the current prefect. At that time, he was not the prefect, but just a small soldier. Later, the two fell in love with each other. Even though the master disagreed, my young lady insisted on marrying him. Originally, it was just for his sincerity. Who knew that less than three years later, he changed his mind and fell in love with that prostitute from the brothel, allowing her to bully my young lady."
Having said this, Lan Yue gritted her teeth, her words filled with hatred, probably because of her hatred for that man and her pity for her own lady.
"Lan Yue..."
Ming Rulan also grabbed her hand with tears in her eyes and a painful expression. No one can watch the person they love abandon them for another woman without feeling heartbroken.
The vows of love they made in the past have become a joke, but she has already imprisoned herself in a circle, trapped by the feelings that have long since vanished.
"So please help my lady, or she will really have no way to survive."
"Since he treated you like this, why don't you go find your parents?"
From what Lan Yue said just now, we can also tell that her parents should love their daughter very much, and her father is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Isn't it easy for him to restrain a prefect?
"Hey, with the way he behaved back then, I guess Dad must have seen through his coldness a long time ago, but I was deeply involved in it and even turned against my parents. I... I really don't have the face to go to my parents."
Lan Ruoyu covered her face and sobbed. She received retribution for her stubborn behavior. She thought she had found her true lover, but she didn't know that she had stepped into the abyss and would never see the light again.
