"Like master, like servant. I imagine your daughter isn't much better. For Prefect Tong to be willing to marry someone like that is already a blessing from past lives. How dare you refuse?" The matchmaker, having been kicked twice, had lost her temper.
If it weren't for the thirty taels of matchmaker's money from Prefect Tong, she wouldn't have bothered putting up with this.
Others may not know the true character of Prefect Tong's wives and concubines, but the matchmaker knows it very well. She secretly cursed that this Miss Zhao would suffer as soon as she married into the Tong family.
"Miss Zhao... ah, ah, ah..." The matchmaker suddenly clutched her neck, realizing she couldn't speak.
Her face turned deathly pale instantly, and she looked at Yanluo with terror in her eyes.
"If you don't get out of here, next time it won't just be that you can't speak!" Yan Luo said to the matchmaker, her eyes also sweeping over He Zhong.
He Zhong saw the matchmaker's expression and guessed that the young girl in front of him must have done something, so he didn't dare to say anything more.
After Yan Luo closed the door, a gloomy look flashed in He Zhong's eyes.
There's no woman their master can't have.
"Go!" He Zhong turned and left the inn. The matchmaker covered her neck and followed behind him in a panic. She wanted to call out but couldn't make a sound. Tears welled up in her eyes.
He Zhong took out some silver and handed it to the matchmaker, telling her to go to the clinic herself, and then returned to the Tong residence.
Upon returning to his residence, He Zhong did not report the situation to Tong Mingshan. Instead, he summoned a few guards and said, "Come with me!"
Since the other party is unwilling to accept a polite offer and is forced to suffer the consequences, there's no one to blame but himself.
If he fails to deliver Miss Zhao to the master's room tonight, he will be the one punished.
After everyone left, Su Ruojin didn't bother with the matter and took Yanluo to Yunhu.
As soon as the two stepped out of the city, Yanluo whispered in Su Ruojin's ear, "Miss, someone is following us."
Su Ruojin had already noticed, but she didn't say anything.
"It's okay, we'll talk about it when there are fewer people later."
"Okay." Yan Luo understood, and had already prepared the poisoned needles in her hand.
If these people know what's good for them and don't make a move, then fine. Otherwise, don't blame her for being impolite. As Miss said, if anyone provokes you, don't hold back.
Because Yunhu Lake has become Tong Mingshan's private territory, the closer you get to Yunhu Lake, the less people there are, and you can only hear the sound of flowing water in the distance.
He Zhong, who was following behind Su Ruojin, was delighted to see the two girls walking towards Yunhu Lake.
That's their territory. Once they get to Yunhu, this Miss Zhao really won't be able to escape.
As they approached the lake, there was no one else in front of them except for Su Ruojin and her companion. He Zhongyi saw that the time had come and waved.
Five guards rushed forward, drew their swords, and surrounded Su Ruojin and Yan Luo.
He Zhong smiled and stepped forward. "Miss Zhao, I advise you to obediently come back to the Tong residence with me. Being the concubine of our Prefect Tong is a blessing that many people would rather die for."
Yanluo recognized the man in front of her at a glance as the one who had been standing behind the matchmaker earlier. So he was from the Tong family.
He Zhong looked at the two little girls in front of him. Their eyes were calm and there was no fear in them. He felt a strange feeling.
He had kidnapped many girls for his master before, and they would have been terrified and begged for mercy on their knees upon seeing their posture. How could he be so calm?
However, the strange feeling in his heart was fleeting. They were just two little girls, what was there to be afraid of?
"Get them! Don't hurt anyone, the adults need them tonight," He Zhong ordered.
The next second, as He Zhong fell, only one thought flashed through his mind: Who did he offend?
