"Young master, this servant will go and invite Lord Xie." Little Fatty couldn't stand it any longer. If this wasn't dealt with, the Xie family would be finished. Even he could see that someone was trying to destroy the Xie family.
Although they won't be completely ruined, they need to recuperate and wait for the storm to pass for at least a few years. A few years can change a lot of things. Who knows if the Xie family will still be on their side a few years later?
Huo Baichuan shook his head. "What do you think the Xie family will do in this situation?"
"Unfaithful to women, burn to death..." Little Fatty felt a chill run down his spine after saying this. If Xie Yun personally burned his eldest granddaughter to death, his reputation would be preserved, but who could be sure that Xie Yun wouldn't go crazy?
"Sun Yun wants 50% of the Sun family's assets, and I'll take the remaining 50% to help the Fourth Prince's Consort," Huo Baichuan said calmly, his tone extremely serious, unlike his previous joking and carefree remarks.
On the other side, Zhao Shu looked at Xie Jinhuan as if she were a fool, and said directly to Xiao Guozi, "I have determined that she is mentally unstable and insane. She is not fit to see anyone. Lock her up and no one is allowed to visit her."
Xie Jinhuan was stunned and looked at Zhao Shu in disbelief. "How dare you? I am the eldest daughter of the Xie family. If you capture me, you won't get away with it!"
"Why wouldn't I dare? What's there to talk about with a madman?" This kind of person should be called a 'human bomb,' suicidally destroying others. This kind of twisted personality deserves no politeness.
Seeing that Zhao Shu was not threatened at all, Xie Jinhuan panicked and shouted, "Help!"
At her command, three maids and servants quickly surrounded her, protecting her. Xie Jinhuan, protected by the three, looked at Zhao Shu triumphantly, "From today onwards, the Xie family of Wuyi will cease to exist!"
Xiao Guozi, Xiao Zhuzi, and Su Xiu rushed towards Xie Jinhuan at the same time. However, just after the three left Zhao Shu's side, a short figure quickly appeared in front of her, holding a long knife and about to cut her.
The movements were extremely rough and simple, without any method, but they hit the nail on the head.
Chu Chun and Sheng Xia had also studied martial arts for a few years and reacted very quickly. With a flip, they blocked Zhao Shu's way and pushed her away. Ban Shu and Ma An protected Sun Yun, and Zhao Shu was pushed into Sun Yun's arms by Chu Chun. The two of them almost fell down together.
Early Spring and Midsummer were both newcomers to martial arts and were too old to be a match for the group of dwarfs. In just one exchange, they were each stabbed.
But the two girls stood firmly in front of Zhao Shu, determined not to back down. As time would tell, Zhao Shu decided that after today, she would find good husbands for the two girls.
Just then, an arrow flew out from nowhere. The dwarf twitched her ears and heard the sound of the arrow piercing the air. She tried to dodge, but she was no match for Wei Tingsi. In the blink of an eye, the arrow pierced her chest.
“This woman is a notorious bandit who infiltrated Jingxin Garden. I tracked her down, and she attempted to escape again by taking the princess hostage. I apologize for frightening the princess.” Wei Tingsi emerged from behind the artificial hill, his right hand resting on his sword and his left hand holding a bundle of rope. He walked to the dwarf, threw the rope aside, and said to Zhang Chang and Yan Zelu beside him, “Tie her up and take her back.”
He just had his eyes fixed on Zhao Shu. He had overheard Sun Yun and Zhao Shu's conversation. Lin Xiuxue was seducing Huo Baichuan, so his Shu Shu was going to deal with Lin Xiuxue. He felt inexplicably uncomfortable. This woman was almost engaged to him. Wouldn't it be better if she went with Huo Baichuan? Why should he stop her?
At this moment, who cares about new or old parties? If someone disobeys, beat them until they obey—that's a good party! So, disregarding the risk of revealing their whereabouts, they followed the arrow that pierced the air and stepped into the public eye.
Zhang Chang and Yan Zelu carefully tied up the half-dead dwarf, then cautiously moved him behind Wei Tingsi. Just now, the master had gone crazy and almost smashed someone's rockery with a punch. They had barely managed to suppress their anger, and it was best to avoid provoking him now.
It was obvious to everyone that Wei Tingsi was extremely unhappy at the moment, and the source of his unhappiness seemed to be Zhao Shu. Of course, the person who could see this was Sun Yun. Everyone else was so frightened by this sudden scene that they had no time to pay attention to anything else, especially since Wei Tingsi's reputation had always been bad.
She tugged at Zhao Shu's sleeve and called out softly, "Ah Jun."
Zhao Shu came to her senses and forced a smile. "So it was a notorious bandit. Such a small-time thief is truly extraordinary."
“Naturally, this notorious thief has committed numerous evils, and I have been pursuing him for a long time. His capture today is a relief.” Wei Tingsi’s voice was as cold as ever, and his aura was domineering. As soon as he arrived, everyone only remembered that Wei Tingsi was there, and no one cared about what Xie Jinhuan had just said. This person’s presence was simply too strong.
This little dwarf is clearly Xie Jinhuan's person, but at this moment, in Wei Tingsi's mouth, she is a notorious bandit. If he says she is a notorious bandit, who would dare to say that she is just a maid?
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the crowd around him, who were keeping their distance but couldn't help but want to take a second look, and said coldly, "Madam Xie was coerced by the villain and had no choice but to ask His Highness the Crown Prince for help in order to save her life. Unfortunately, the villain was so arrogant that he crippled her leg, causing her to fall to the ground. Guards, take Miss Xie back to the Xie residence. Remember what happened today, everyone. The villain has accomplices who are on the run. I hope you will all be careful with your words and actions and not provoke the villain."
Xie Jinhuan and her three servants had already been subdued, tied up and thrown on the ground. Xie Jinhuan was better off; she just stood there alone, glaring hatefully at Zhao Shu.
As soon as Wei Tingsi finished speaking, she wanted to retort loudly, saying that she was unfaithful and that she wanted to remarry by using despicable means, but she no longer had the chance. Wei Tingsi casually picked a leaf and threw it, injuring her anklet. She was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.
