Chapter 95: Killing Two Birds with One Stone, Severely Inflicting Damage to the Marquisate
Li Ziyan stared at Su Luo with tearful eyes, feeling that she was talking nonsense. However, looking around, she realized that only Su Luo could save her. She couldn't help but plead sadly, "Luo'er, don't flatter me. I'm just a woman who just wants to live! Luo'er, save me——"
Su Luo knew that Li Ziyan and the Marquis' Mansion cared about face the most, so she pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve and pretended to wipe her tears: "Mother, what I said is not flattery, but Luoer knows you very well!"
Li Zi Yan's face was gloomy, and she didn't dare to show her anger. As long as she could escape danger today, she would make Su Luo pay when she returned to the Marquis' Mansion!
She sobbed and cried, desperately saying, "I just want to live!"
Seeing that Li Ziyan was forced into a desperate situation, Su Luo quickly flashed a sinister smile at the corner of her mouth. She tore through Li Ziyan's hypocrisy with her own hands and tried to persuade her:
"Mother, you must think clearly. These Yan assassins have brutally slaughtered the people of Qingding. Countless people have died at their hands, and countless women and children have been raped. They have committed murder, looting, and all manner of evil. Countless soldiers have risked their lives to defend their country. Even the multiple wounds on your son, the Crown Prince, were inflicted by the Yan people."
"Mother, you can't be so selfish! We in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion are all loyal and honest people."
Each word was like a mountain falling down, leaving Li Zi Yan speechless. She was filled with anger and fear, tears streaming down her face. She clenched her fists, hating it so much. She hated why the person who was kidnapped was not Su Luo?
Li Ziyan was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She trembled and said, "Luo, Luo'er, you have to save me. I don't understand what you are saying. I am just a woman..."
How could she not understand!
Didn’t Zhou Zhizhang claim to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic in the past? Li Ziyan always loved to praise the righteousness of Marquis Jing’an in front of the ladies, and she herself was also very righteous.
The people who lived nearby hid and peeked in to eavesdrop.
Su Luo asked Li Ziyan pointedly, "If I let dozens of them go just for you, these evil Yan assassins will surely slaughter other civilians and cause even more casualties. Will mother still insist on me saving them?"
Li Zi Yan was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She looked at Su Luo with a poisonous and resentful look. She wanted to eat Su Luo alive and chop her into pieces to feed the dogs, but her life was in Su Luo's hands!
Why didn’t I realize before that Su Luo was such a bitch?
"Stop talking nonsense! Are you going to save your mother-in-law or not?" Yandamulie yelled angrily.
The blade directly cut through the skin of Li Ziyan's neck, and blood rolled out. Li Ziyan froze in place, not daring to move. She trembled and shouted, "Yes, I just want to live. What does justice have to do with me? What does the life and death of others have to do with me?!"
At this moment, the surrounding common people, not knowing who was the first to speak, shouted angrily, "We can't let the Marquis of Jing'an go! If we let these assassins escape, what will happen to us ordinary people?"
"These assassins are highly skilled in martial arts and will surely kill many civilians!"
"How could the wife of Marquis Jing'an be so selfish! Bah!"
"So many soldiers died on the battlefield, and no one was afraid of death. How could a general's wife be afraid of death?"
Nanny Ruiqing rushed over and said, "Wait a minute! Yan assassins, our Marquis and the Crown Prince are here! Talk to them!"
When Nanny Ruiqing, who had just escaped after seeing Li Ziyan being held hostage, immediately went to call Zhou Yan and Zhou Zhizhang.
Zhou Zhizhang prepared horses, but as soon as he arrived, he heard the people around him talking about this, and he suddenly didn't dare to speak.
"The Marquis is here! The Marquis cannot let these heinous assassins go just for your wife!"
The people shouted indignantly:
"If I don't let Madam go, she won't necessarily die. Even if she dies, it will only be Madam who dies. But if I let them go, many more will die! My Lord is a general who protects our country. You can't be so foolish!"
Some people with bad mouths have already started cursing, and some even cried with tears in their eyes:
"My three sons all died on the battlefield defending our country. Just because she's the Marquis' wife, should she let so many Yan assassins go?"
This is totally putting the Jing'an Marquis Mansion on the fire!
Zhou Zhizhang was a little confused. He didn't expect to be in this situation when he arrived.
Some even swore solemnly, "My Lord, you are a righteous man! You would never selfishly let dozens of assassins go just for your wife!"
Someone shouted, "That's self-admission. We believe the Marquis wouldn't do that!"
The words that were about to come out of Zhou Zhizhang's mouth suddenly got stuck and he didn't know how to continue.
Li Ziyan cried with tears streaming down her face: "Husband, husband, son, you must save me! I am the one closest to you, so what if others die?"
She was so afraid that Marquis Jing'an would give up saving her for the sake of fame.
Su Luo pretended to wipe her tears and stood in the corner watching the fun.
At some point, Mo Jin walked over slowly, with a bit of admiration in his eyes. He really didn't know that Su Luo had the ability to sow discord.
It was easy to put Li Zi Yan to death, making it difficult for Marquis Jing'an and his son.
Even Zhou Zhizhang, who cares about official title and is hypocritical and cold-hearted, may give up Li Ziyan and create an image of selflessness to the outside world.
