"Miss, spare us!" Although these people didn't know what had happened, kneeling down and begging for mercy was always the right thing to do, especially since Wuyou's smile still sent chills down their spines.
"Don't think I don't know what you've been doing behind the scenes. Since you're on good terms with Lvming, then leave the Le family with her! My Le family can't keep such arrogant servants like you." Wuyou casually played with her slender fingers, her disdainful tone causing everyone below to fall silent involuntarily.
It must be said that Wuyou was right. They were truly of one mind with Lvming. They always believed that the Le family was taking advantage of their small favors to beat and scold them at will and were inhuman. They thought Le Wuyou was arrogant, willful, vulgar and unbearable, and they did a lot of slandering Le Wuyou behind his back.
Now that they'd been exposed on the spot, they felt a strange mix of shame and anger. The words stuck in their throats, and they could only awkwardly shut their mouths. Even if they left the Le family, it wouldn't matter. They had plenty of ways to survive, and it was still much better than being lowly servants in the Le family.
"Yes, Miss." The twenty-odd people thought of this, their expressions revealing a hint of smugness, completely oblivious to the pitying looks from the others, as if they were looking at a fool.
Taking in the expressions on their faces, Wuyou picked up her teacup and took a sip. Did they really think everything would go smoothly after leaving the Le family? How naive!
Of everyone present, only Green Tea was pale and terrified. She was still dreaming of seizing the position of head of the Le family! How could she be willing to be expelled from the Le family like this? Besides, others might not know, but didn't she, who had been by Le Wuyou's side for so many years, know everything?
The so-called crippling of martial arts is not just about losing internal strength; it means destroying the dantian and severing the meridians. If you encounter a ruthless person, being bedridden from then on is not a dream.
Unfortunately, no one present paid any attention to Lvming; her fate was sealed the moment Wuyou arrived.
"Take them all away!" Wuyou casually waved his hand, and immediately a group of well-trained men dressed in black stepped forward and dragged the people away. It was too late for the servants to back out.
"You all come and see for yourselves what happens when you betray me and the Le family," Wuyou said coldly, glancing at the group of people kneeling before her.
After everyone had left, Wuyou turned to Lüxiu behind her and said, "Lüxiu, you should go too! Go back and get some rest, and come back to serve me in a couple of days."
Miss's decision was beyond question. Green Embroidery nodded and accepted Wuyou's arrangement, then quickly disappeared into Mingzhu Garden.
The empty courtyard was no longer as lively as before. Wuyou rested her chin on her hand and pondered for a moment before standing up to go to the Punishment Hall. She had already informed the enforcers of the Punishment Hall that they would take good care of Lvming and the others.
She didn't need to watch, but there was no guarantee that her muddle-headed father wouldn't cause trouble when he got back, so she figured she'd better keep an eye on things. After all, Lüming was her muddle-headed father's child, and if it weren't for him, she wouldn't have been able to control the Le family so easily in the future.
In Wuyou's heart, although the Tang family was also corrupt and even worse than the Le family, the head of the Tang family, Tang Xiuyuan, was a smart man, much better than his muddle-headed father, and would never do anything foolish.
"Miss—" People addressed her respectfully along the way, but this air of superiority did not bring Wuyou any pride; she simply walked past calmly. The others didn't expect a response from this always proud young lady; they simply dutifully went about their business.
The Le family's torture chamber was quite far from Mingzhu Garden. After all, it was better to be in a more remote place than to be in such a bloody and cruel place. It took Wuyou about half an hour to arrive at the entrance of the torture chamber.
"Release Lv Ming immediately..." A slightly authoritative male voice came, so familiar that it was none other than Le Wuyou's biological father, Le Zhengpeng.
Then came the woman's suppressed sobs, each sound carrying endless sorrow and grievance, accompanied by sobbing complaints.
Wuyou didn't care what Green Tea had complained about or how much she had tried to sow discord within her. She deliberately made her footsteps louder, and upon entering the punishment hall, she saw this deeply affectionate scene. She immediately raised her voice, "Father—"
Wuyou's voice didn't carry any special emotion, but it still made Le Zhengpeng shudder. He looked at his daughter in surprise as Wuyou's voice followed.
"Father, what are you doing?" Wuyou frowned, her eyes full of accusation and reproach as she looked at Le Zhengpeng, giving him no time to react. "Even if you want to find another woman, you can't choose someone like Lüming! Aren't you slapping your daughter in the face? Does Mother know about this? Did she agree to it?"
These rapid-fire words left everyone stunned. When Le Zhengpeng came to his senses, he shouted sharply, "Nonsense—who told you I was going to find another woman? Why are you so concerned about so many things at such a young age? Lüming is your personal maid, and this is how you treat her? Isn't this heartbreaking? Father is doing this for your own good."
He looked so heartbroken; anyone who didn't know better would think that Le Zhengpeng was extremely distressed!
"Why are you so eager to protect her if you don't like her? You even say it's for my sake. Green Tea is disobedient and disobedient to her master. I've already done more than enough by kicking her out of the Le family. Is that how you see me, Father?"
Wuyou was not afraid at all. Ever since that incident, Le Wuyou no longer regarded Le Zhengpeng as her father. So why should she give him face? She wasn't stupid.
"You—" Le Zhengpeng was speechless. He couldn't very well say that Lvming was his biological sister and his father's biological daughter! If that were to come out, it would cause a huge uproar.
Hiding behind Le Zhengpeng, Lüming's eyes flashed with a mixture of hatred and anticipation. How she longed for her father to reveal her true identity! They were both her father's daughters, so why was she treated as inferior and forced to serve Le Wuyou? If he revealed it, she would be the eldest daughter of the Le family.
"I don't care, today Green Tea must be punished as I say, or I'll tell Mother and Grandfather." Wu You crossed her arms and used her most common trick. Le Wu You's mother, Bai Xue Jiao, was the apple of the Bai family's eye. She was of noble status, proud, and ruthless. The Le family's current glory was all thanks to Bai Xue Jiao, so Le Zheng Peng naturally dared not offend her.
"You..." Le Zhengpeng was furious, but he chickened out when Bai Xuejiao's name was mentioned. He was so angry that his hands trembled and he couldn't speak.
"Smack—" Just as Le Zhengpeng was silent, the sound of a blunt object hitting flesh came. Le Zhengpeng turned his head and was so angry that he almost spat out blood.
