"After seeing what happened to those women, you're probably scared and want to leave this place quickly. Don't worry, you should be thankful you met me. I'll find a way to get you out of here before dark."
Li Mengyue saw the servant talking nonstop and ignored him, but her pace became much faster than before.
"Hey, girl, I haven't finished speaking yet. Why are you walking so fast? Wait for me." The servant was afraid that he could not catch up with Li Mengyue, so he did not bother to talk for the time being and quickened his pace.
After walking for a while, the servant felt that Li Mengyue's physical strength was really good. He, a grown man, was tired and panting, but the other party was still breathing steadily and didn't feel tired at all.
The two walked to a garden, and Li Mengyue suddenly stopped. The servant followed her quickly and almost bumped into Li Mengyue's back.
The servant was frightened and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, then looked at her in the direction Li Mengyue was looking.
"Young lady, you are also attracted by the flowers blooming here. To be honest, there is not a single young lady or maid in the mansion who doesn't like them. Look, those are peonies planted in the garden."
Li Mengyue naturally knew what kind of flower this was. It was just that this season was not the time for peonies to bloom, but every flower here was unusually bright in color, with plump and gorgeous petals.
The colors of the flowers, from light purple to warm red, were all woven together. It should have been a beautiful painting, but for some reason, it gave her a strange feeling.
[Host, your feeling is correct, because there are countless bones buried beneath the garden.]
Hearing what the leader said, Li Mengyue looked towards the large garden filled with peonies. If what the leader said was true, then how many bodies were buried here?
Thinking of the miserable woman in the quiet courtyard and the women talking under the eaves, I wonder how many innocent women Huang Shiyu has harmed.
Suppressing the anger in her heart, Li Mengyue turned around and asked the servant, "Where is the main courtyard?"
The servant wanted to persuade the girl to leave, but he didn't expect the other party to be so aggressive and wanted to fall into the trap.
"Young lady, follow me and hide in the woodshed. When it gets dark and we can't find you, the people in the mansion will definitely be looking for you. Then you can take advantage of the chaos and run away."
Li Mengyue didn't sense any ill will from the servant. Instead, he was thinking of her wholeheartedly. She wasn't ungrateful, so she said to him gently, "Young man, you don't need to persuade me. I have my own plans."
Seeing Li Mengyue's stubborn look, the servant knew that he would not be able to convince him for the time being, so he had to tell him the direction of the main courtyard.
"Girl, I'm not qualified to enter the main courtyard. I can only tell you how to get there."
"Okay, thank you, bro."
After figuring out the direction of the main courtyard, Li Mengyue didn't want to waste a moment and immediately walked towards the main courtyard.
It took Li Mengyue a quarter of an hour to reach the main courtyard, and along the way she went up the corridor.
There are carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, exotic flowers and plants in the garden, the ground is paved with marble, and precious trees are planted on both sides of the road.
There is also a winding stream passing under the corridor, pouring out from the depths of the flowers and trees into a small pond surrounded by strange rocks, which gave Li Mengyue a further understanding of the financial strength of Landlord Huang.
I wonder how much food the landlord withheld from the tenant farmers and how many unscrupulous things he did to accumulate so much wealth and build such a luxurious house.
When she arrived at the main courtyard and saw the yard where Landlord Huang lived, she felt that the Huang family was extremely wealthy.
Avoiding the maids and servants coming and going, Li Mengyue almost found the place where Landlord Huang met guests.
