Don't let down the five
With the support of Su Niang, Huang Yaya walked for almost half an hour before arriving at the block where the Pingnan Marquis Mansion was located.
There was a guard standing every two meters around the red wall of the Marquis' Mansion. Huang Yaya looked at these majestic guards and wondered if Huo Weixi had committed a crime and his house was searched?
But no matter how much we guess, we still have to take a look!
The guards at the door were no longer the ones Huang Yaya knew. The guards she knew had died in the sneak attack while trying to protect her.
Huang Yaya gently patted Su Niang's still trembling hands, signaling her to let go first. Su Niang nodded. She didn't recognize that the man in front of her who was beaten like a pig for saving her was the girl who once praised her pipa playing beautifully.
Huang Yaya smiled and walked up to the guard in a somewhat embarrassed manner and asked, "Excuse me, is Lord Huo in the mansion?"
The two guards pointed their spears at Huang Yaya and said sternly, "This is a restricted area of the Marquis' Mansion. No outsiders are allowed to approach."
Huang Yaya could only continue to smile and said awkwardly: "My two elder masters, I am from this mansion, but you don't know me. However, Ruomei knows me. Can you help me call her? I have something urgent to ask her."
The guards looked at Huang Yaya's embarrassed appearance and were a little unsure for a moment. The two guards exchanged glances and then said seriously: "Wait a moment, I will pass the message to you."
Huang Yaya was relieved. Huo Weixi's soldiers were different. Even if they didn't know who she was, they were willing to help her.
She walked back to Su Niang. She must have been terrified! Enduring the pain, Huang Yaya hugged her and comforted her softly, "You're beautiful and play the pipa well. You're an amazing female musician. You didn't do anything wrong. It's all those beasts' fault."
"A good girl like you shouldn't be treated like this. I will definitely find someone to help you get justice."
When Su Niang heard these words, the tears she had been holding back finally fell, as if a pain burst out from her body and finally came out of her mouth.
The crying sound of "Wuwuwu~" made Huang Yaya feel like a knife was cutting her heart.
The guards nearby were also upset when they heard the crying. Just as they were about to shout "Quiet", they were interrupted by Ruomei's voice.
"lady?"
"Madam, is that you?" Ruomei looked at Huang Yaya carefully, somewhat unbelievable. After all, the person in front of her had a bruised, purple and swollen face, and her hair was messy.
Huang Yaya felt so relieved when she saw Ruomei! She happily shouted, "Ruomei."
"Madam, who beat you like this?" Ruomei said with heartache, and then turned around and glanced viciously at the guard at the door.
The guard quickly explained: "Miss Ruomei, this young lady was like this when she came."
"What girl? This is the wife of the Marquis."
Huang Yaya saw this and quickly said, "Ruomei, it's not these guards. They are all very nice. Although they don't know me, they didn't make things difficult for me."
After that, she saluted the guards again and said, "Thank you."
Upon seeing this, the guards quickly knelt down and said, "We failed to recognize Madam. Please punish us, Madam."
"Alright, get up! Madam is kind and won't punish you." Ruomei said calmly, then took out two silver ingots from her purse and threw them to them: "Madam gives you these as a reward for tea. No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today."
"Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am." The two guards nodded, smiled at each other, and accepted the silver ingot.
Huang Yaya was ashamed. Ruomei was rich and she was poor, yet she still protected her dignity so much. She was simply a best friend chosen by God!!!
"Ruomei, can you lend me some money?" Huang Yaya pulled Ruomei's hand and begged.
"Madam, it doesn't matter whether you lend it to me or not. The Marquis said that the entire mansion is yours, and the money in the mansion is also yours." Ruomei was stunned by this and hurriedly explained.
"But Madam, I didn't bring that much money with me. Let's go inside and talk about it first." Ruomei continued.
Huang Yaya was about to pull Su Niang in with her, but she felt her resistance. Yes, she had just escaped from a dangerous situation, so she must be afraid of unfamiliar places.
Huang Yaya said to Ruomei, "Ruomei, I won't go in yet. I'll stay with Suniang. Can you help me get some money? I broke her pipa. Can you also help me prepare a carriage to send her back?"
Ruomei said hesitantly, "Then please wait for me for a while, Madam. You must wait for me."
"Yeah." Huang Yaya gave Ruomei an affirmative look.
Su Niang asked in surprise, "Is the young lady the wife of the Marquis?"
She nodded, looked into Suniang's eyes and said, "Yes, I've also heard you talk about the pipa. It's simply heavenly music."
The gate of the Marquis' Mansion was now completely open, and several servants came out, carrying chairs, a small table, and a tray. On the tray was a compact teapot, tea leaves, and some fruits.
These things were lined up in front of the Marquis's Mansion one by one. The girl in the lead said respectfully to Huang Yaya, "Madam, please sit down and rest for a while."
Huang Yaya said to Suniang, "Sit down for a while."
Su Niang nodded and sat down on the chair very gracefully. As soon as Huang Yaya sat down, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
In order not to worry Su Niang, she still endured it. The maid beside her had already poured tea for them. She wanted to drink some water to relieve the pain, but the teacup touched the wound at the corner of her mouth as soon as it reached her lips.
That group of people were really cruel. Looking at Su Niang's gentle and calm appearance, she felt lucky that it was she who was hurt and not her.
When Su Niang sat down, she saw the blood on Huang Yaya's temples. She found that Huang Yaya's expression was a little unnatural, and she said excitedly: "Madam, I have no way to repay your great kindness. Su Niang is willing to..."
Huang Yaya interrupted her and comforted her: "Suniang, it's okay, you don't have to repay anything, just live a good life."
When Huo Weixi heard Ruomei's report, he quickly got up and walked to the door of the Marquis' Mansion, but what he saw was Huang Yaya who was beaten up and looked extremely embarrassed.
Huang Yaya was also surprised when she saw him, and blamed herself for forgetting to tell Ruomei not to disturb Huo Weixi, after all, his injury had not healed yet.
Huo Weixi's steps were like lead. With every step he took towards Huang Yaya, his expression grew more distressed. His tone was as if he was about to cry: "My wife."
Huang Yaya wanted to pretend that nothing was wrong. She endured the huge pain in her stomach and stood up and said with a smile: "Why don't you take a good rest? Get up."
The closer he got, the more frightened he became. He soon discovered that a patch of hair on the top of Huang Yaya's head was missing, leaving only a layer of brown blood scab, and her temples were also bloody. Her face was covered in bruises and cold sweat was coming out of her forehead.
Huo Weixi reached out to help her comb her hair, but was afraid of hurting her. Although his tone was pleading, he could not hide his anger and said, "Who is it? Tell me who it is."
Su Niang, who was standing by, quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "My Lord, the Madam was beaten by the Grand Minister of Agriculture's sons because she was trying to save me."
The word "gang up on" made Huo Weixi's eyes tremble!
Huang Yaya held Huo Weixi's hand and felt a chill. He was so badly injured, but he was still so worried about her. A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she said gently: "Weixi, can you help Su Niang? Because she has offended the son of the Minister of Agriculture, and she is a woman..."
Before Huang Yaya finished speaking, Huo Weixi nodded and said gently, "My lady, don't worry. Go back to your room and have a good rest, okay?"
Huang Yaya shook her head. She didn't know when she would wake up. She wanted to spend more time with Huo Weixi and said, "I want to see you more."
Huo Weixi clenched his fists tightly, with a murderous intent in his eyes that no one could detect.
Ruolan walked up to Huang Yaya and replied, "Madam, the carriage is ready."
She looked at Suniang and said gently, "Suniang, don't be afraid. The Marquis has said that he will seek justice for you. Thank you for sending me home. I will find someone to send you back now."
She turned her head and looked at Ruomei. Ruomei immediately took out a bag of money and handed it to Suniang. Suniang quickly pushed it away and refused, "Madam, I can't take it. You saved me, how can I accept your money? If you don't mind, I am willing to come and play the pipa for you every day."
"Su Niang, please accept it." It was so difficult for a girl to make money in such a feudal era.
Huang Yaya turned her head and looked at Ruolan again, and said softly, "Ruolan, can you help me send Su Niang back?"
Ruolan was about to answer when Ruomei answered first, "Madam, let me take Miss Suniang home."
Huang Yaya nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, Ruomei."
Before Ruomei accompanied Suniang into the car, Huo Weixi gave Ruomei a black iron token. The token was exquisitely crafted, with a big "Huo" engraved on the front.
"I'll go get the imperial physician for Madam," Ruolan said.
"Ruolan, no need, I'm fine." Huang Yaya refused.
After hearing this, Huo Weixi could only nod to Ruolan.
