Lu Congrong stared at Su Jiaoniang, his eyes filled with mockery and ridicule: "Didn't expect that, did you!"
Su Jiaoniang looked at Lu Congrong, who was smug and had a smug look on her head. She thought that Lu Congrong must have a screw loose, otherwise why would she be so brainless?
Regardless of what opportunities she may have now to become wealthy.
We should all cherish these good days.
Don't associate with shady characters.
The Cai family is now using poppies to harm people, and the consequences will certainly be extremely tragic.
Lu Congrong is currently associating with the Cai family. If her secret is exposed later, will she be reduced to nothing again?
Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together.
Rats will always find some cockroaches to befriend.
"I really didn't expect that." Su Jiaoniang's gaze fell on the archer opposite her.
Those people exuded a chilling aura, like soldiers.
This person doesn't look like a guard from the Cai family.
"Where is Cai Ke?" Su Jiaoniang asked.
She has not forgotten her original purpose for coming here.
Now that we've confirmed Cai Ke is alright, whether or not we can bring him to Madam Feng's side isn't so important.
“Cai Ke is being taught. Children are too young and easily fooled. He just needs to be taught a few more times to understand that people outside are not good people, so he can stay at home with peace of mind and be a qualified member of the Cai family.”
Cai Runiang waved the round fan in her hand.
She was draped in an expensive fox fur coat, and the white fox collar fluttered in the wind, its fine fur brushing against her chin with a pleasant sensation.
Lu Congrong's gaze fell on Cai Runiang, her eyes filled with envy.
She also wanted to wear a fox fur coat like that.
However, the servants around him said that this item had to be ordered in advance, and it was impossible to estimate how many white foxes a hunter could catch each year. It was very likely that if they paid last year, they would only be able to get the fox fur this year.
It's almost impossible for her to get what she wants.
Su Jiaoniang glanced at Cai Runiang.
"Where is she?!" Su Jiaoniang ignored Cai Runiang's pride and smugness.
All she wanted to see was Cai Ke.
Cai Runiang liked to show off and enjoyed seeing others at a loss.
She had someone bring Cai Ke out.
Cai Ke was wearing tattered clothes, had frostbite on his fingers, and his face was pale, making him look sick.
Cai Ke glanced at Su Jiaoniang, pursed his lips, and said, "I'm fine, you should go back now!"
The Cai family has ill intentions, and Cai Ke doesn't want anyone to be in danger because of him.
"What's so good about it? Look at the state they've become! They're not even as good as servants. They say things like 'Even tigers don't eat their cubs, and a man without ruthlessness is no man at all.'" Su Jiaoniang sighed.
Suddenly I understood why Madam Feng was so nervous.
“Now that we’ve seen the person, let’s surrender!” Cai Runiang said.
Surrender?
This option was never a part of Su Jiaoniang's life.
She stared at Lu Congrong.
In this small courtyard, the guards were clearly paying more attention to Lu Congrong.
If we can take her hostage, it will be easy to get Xiao Cai Ke back.
But what if they change their minds? What will these people do when they get angry? Do they have any bottom line? Will they target other innocent people?
Many things flashed through Su Jiaoniang's mind in an instant.
But... thinking of Madam Feng, and the help this woman had given her at the beginning of her transmigration, her heart wavered for a moment. Oh well, family fortune and nothing else mattered.
First, get the person out of there.
If Lu Congrong has a powerful background and can't protect her business, she can just start over somewhere else.
A living person can die from holding in their urine.
Su Jiaoniang smiled.
His gaze fell on Lu Congrong: "I was wrong, really..."
She feigned fear and, before anyone could react, swiftly approached Lu Congrong. Just then, a cold arrow shot towards her head. Sensing danger, she tilted her head slightly, the arrow grazing her bangs.
A strand of hair fell to the ground.
He grabbed Lu Congrong's hand.
The dagger landed on Lu Congrong's neck.
He turned to look at the archer.
He was dressed in the clothes of an ordinary guard of the Lu family, but his back was straight, and he exuded a fierce and courageous aura, with his bow and arrow nocked in his hand.
He stared at her coldly.
"Release them!" he said.
Su Jiaoniang laughed and slashed Lu Congrong's face with the dagger in her hand, instantly disfiguring the woman and causing blood to flow down her face.
Threatened?
She had anticipated this from the very beginning of the operation.
These people care a lot about Lu Congrong!
The more you care, the better!
Upon being slashed, Lu Congrong burst into tears. She already had many scars, and it was only thanks to these people bringing her the most precious scar-removing cream from the capital that the scars disappeared.
Now it's been scratched again.
She's gotten uglier again! I wonder if there'll ever be a chance to get a good scar removal cream.
Tears streamed down her face.
The instant the wound was touched.
The pain shot through her, and her face contorted in pain.
Su Jiaoniang's voice came from beside him: "Do you know what to do? Make them back down. You only have one life. Here's the next cut..." Su Jiaoniang's hand holding the dagger landed on Lu Congrong's neck.
A red mark.
Lu Congrong immediately trembled and looked at the guard opposite her: "Huo Ying, step back."
Is his surname Huo?
Su Jiaoniang's eyes flashed with doubt.
The Huo family members exuded an aura as if they had served in the military. This cold, steely, and menacing presence could not be acquired without experiencing the battlefield, the smoke and fire of artillery, and the baptism of blood and lives.
Now they're actually protecting Lu Congrong.
The once-renowned Huo family is likely doomed.
Su Jiaoniang sighed inwardly, then forced him to step back!
