His voice was sharp and sarcastic; he didn't sound like a good person.
He Jiuniang released the servants who were holding her, and leaped into the courtyard. Lu Baichuan followed her, and the little maid behind them were stunned. She hurriedly ran in with her short legs.
"Third Uncle and Third Aunt!"
Lotus was fighting with the old women and maids in the courtyard, holding a broom in her hand. Her movements were completely disorganized, but the maids and old women couldn't do anything to her.
He Jiuniang saw that her clothes were still intact, only her hair was a little messy, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, nothing serious happened, otherwise she would have felt guilty for the rest of her life!
He Jiuniang ran over, grabbed her and hugged her, comforting her: "It's alright, it's alright, your uncle and aunt are here to save you!"
Lotus's eyes were glistening with tears. Every time she was in danger, it was Aunt Jiu Niang who came to her rescue. She was so touched, sob sob...
The maids and servants were left to Lu Baichuan to deal with. Originally, Lu Baichuan intended to go easy on them since they were all women, but when he saw them baring their teeth and cursing Lianhua for being ungrateful, he could no longer suppress his anger. He piled all the maids and servants together like a human pyramid.
The young lady standing not far away was terrified when she saw the two people who suddenly barged in. Before she could react, they had dealt with everyone in her yard. She was so frightened that she didn't even have time to care about the unconscious man on the ground.
"Who are you? How...how did you get in?"
She looked at Lu Baichuan and his wife with some fear, especially when she saw Lu Baichuan, and said, "This is the women's backyard, you're a grown man... Ah!"
Before she could finish speaking, He Jiuniang suddenly appeared in front of her and slapped her across the face without saying a word.
"You think you're so special? You think you can mess with my niece?"
He Jiuniang looked at the woman in front of her, who was dressed in a flamboyant manner and whose perfume was so strong it was nauseating. When she slapped her, her hand was covered in powder.
So, using that hand, He Jiuniang slapped her several more times.
"Ah! I'm a concubine from the Zou family! You dare hit me? You... Ahhh..."
Before he could finish speaking, He Jiuniang grabbed his hair and beat him again.
He Jiuniang discovered that the most satisfying thing about these crazy women was pulling their hair, leaving them completely defenseless.
Of course, even if he had the ability to fight back, he would still be no match for her.
Lu Baichuan wasn't idle either. He went over, grabbed the unconscious man from the ground, slapped him twice to wake him up, made him see the situation clearly, and then stomped his face under his feet.
Zou Ming had been knocked unconscious by Lianhua with a blow to the head, and he didn't know what had happened afterward. Now that he had finally woken up, he was being trampled underfoot, leaving him completely bewildered.
"Hero, spare me! Hero, spare me! I don't know anything!"
He begged for mercy without any backbone, and then he saw his most beloved concubine being beaten beyond recognition by He Jiu Niang.
"Zou Ming, how dare you! You abduct women and bully women and children! You're truly despicable!"
As Lu Baichuan spoke, he rubbed his foot on Zou Ming's face.
Zou Ming felt like his face was about to be trampled, and finally realized what had happened. In an instant, he sold out that Aunt Zhang.
"I don't know anything! That bitch made all the decisions on her own! I didn't do anything!"
Aunt Zhang was beaten so badly by He Jiu Niang that she couldn't speak. Not only did her husband not defend her, but he also blamed her for everything. Her heart sank.
No matter what, she was carrying his child, but he didn't care about that feeling at all.
He Jiuniang not only hit Zhang Yiniang herself, but also called Lianhua to hit her together. Lianhua was also angry, and she imitated He Jiuniang by grabbing Zhang Yiniang's hair and slapping her.
After being brought here today, she knew the situation was unfavorable to her, so she didn't make too much of a fuss and kept looking for opportunities for herself.
Mr. Zou had gone out to discuss business and hadn't returned yet. She pretended to help Aunt Zhang take measurements, but in reality, she had been secretly observing the layout of the courtyard. She had already spotted a broom in the corner of the courtyard, so when Mr. Zou came over, intending to bully her, she ran to the corner, grabbed the broom, and whacked Mr. Zou with it, knocking him down.
Then he started dealing with the group of old women and maids in the courtyard, causing quite a commotion.
Fortunately, Aunt Zhang was not the head of the household, and her actions were clandestine. Even if she made a scene, Aunt Zhang didn't dare call anyone outside, otherwise Lianhua would have been no match for them.
Lianhua was very fortunate that she had been learning martial arts with Gou'er and the others every morning during this period. Although she hadn't learned it very well, it had helped her to improve her health. Although it was a bit difficult to deal with these people, she was fortunate that she had good physical strength and could keep wearing them down, which was why she was able to hold out until He Jiuniang came to rescue her.
She didn't even know if anyone would come to rescue her, because when she was taken away, the friend she had entrusted to was also held down, so she had no idea what to do.
But Aunt Jiu Niang always manages to appear at the most crucial moment.
As Aunt Zhang was being beaten, she couldn't help but burst into tears. She turned around and hugged He Jiu Niang, crying uncontrollably.
He Jiuniang knew that the child had come to her senses and was scared, so she hugged her and gently patted her back to comfort her: "Alright, alright, Auntie will take you back now. These bad people will be dealt with by your third uncle."
As she spoke, she put her arm around Lotus and walked out, not forgetting to bring along the girl who had relayed the message to Lotus. As she passed Lu Baichuan, she said, "We'll go home first and wait for you. Hurry up, don't keep Mr. Kang waiting."
Lu Baichuan nodded, took out a signal from his pocket and released it into the sky. Immediately, people from the Fire Cloud Division rushed over. None of these people could be let off lightly.
Lianhua was led away by He Jiuniang, and none of the servants or maids outside dared to stop her. After all, they had been too aggressive when they came in, and those who went forward did not have a good ending. They could only watch her leave.
Upon reaching the alley entrance, He Jiuniang said to Lianhua's friends, "Thank you for today. We'll discuss the details tomorrow. Go find Boss Cheng first, tell her what happened, and then she can make arrangements for you."
Tonight's main purpose is to attend a banquet; otherwise, He Jiuniang would have gone straight to that shop and cleaned up all the rat droppings one by one.
"Yes, boss."
The little girl happily agreed, then glanced at Lotus with a smile before running off joyfully.
I never expected that Lianhua was actually the master's niece, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do today!
After the little girl left, He Jiuniang said, "Your little sister is good. I'm so glad she reminded me today, otherwise I would have had to interrogate that shopkeeper and wasted even more time."
"Auntie, thank you so much. You're always the one who comes to my rescue."
Lotus pouted, and as she spoke, she couldn't control her emotions and felt like crying.
