[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Rong Enqing's expression was stern.

Li Mao? Butler Li’s father? Old Butler Li! ?

"Butler Li, long time no see."

Rong Enqing stepped forward and looked down at Li Mao. "I wonder what Butler Li wants to do with such a big show?"

"Madam, it's not appropriate for you to tie up the young master and the young marquis. This is the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, and it's also the Yun family's territory. Madam, please have someone release the young master and the young marquis."

Li Mao looked calm, his attitude was composed, and the tone of his voice was even calmer and more indifferent, as if everything was under control.

Rong Enqing narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the more than 40 people behind Butler Lao Li, and then looked at the few people around him.

Uh, the gap in strength is a bit big!

Just then, Yun Hong's voice came from behind Rong Enqing.

"Mother, you didn't think that after we guessed that you killed my aunt, Yun Ye and I would come to see you alone without any preparation, right?"

Rong Enqing turned around slowly and stared at Yun Hong with a gloomy expression, "What a calculation."

"Leaving Beijing is the last chance I gave my mother." Yun Hong smiled and shook his head, with a look of regret, "Unfortunately, my mother finally failed her son's kindness."

Rong Enqing clenched the handkerchief in his hand, his mind working furiously.

What is she going to do? What is she going to do?

It wouldn't be that she didn't die at the hands of Emperor Taihe because of the Yuan family's affairs, but instead died earlier at the hands of Yun Hong and his son?

"Madam, can you let the Crown Prince and the Young Marquis go?" Li Mao spoke at the right time.

The situation was already very clear, Rong Enqing had no chance of winning. A stalemate was useless.

"What if I say I refuse?" Rong Enqing's heart was beating fast, but he still pretended to be calm and tested it.

Li Mao's eyes turned fierce, and he said in a cold tone: "Then I can only ask Madam to forgive my rudeness!"

He raised his hand and ordered, "Go and untie the young prince and the young marquis."

Just as several servants were about to rush over, and just as Rong Enqing reached up to his head, ready to pull out his hairpin and threaten Yun Hong with his life, a group of people suddenly rushed in from outside the yard.

The leader was Tingqin. The ten people following behind her were both men and women, all dressed in smart and capable clothes.

A group of people entered the yard, rushed over and stood at the foot of the stone steps, protecting Rong Enqing and his group, forming an opposing force with the group led by Butler Lao Li.

"Sorry, Madam, we are late." Tingqin bowed.

Rong Enqing waved his hand quickly, "It's not too late. You came just in time."

Seeing Tingqin, Rong Enqing felt relieved.

Hu Shan, who was standing by, saw Tingqin and smiled at her.

Tingqin also nodded slightly towards Hu Shan as a response.

"Madam, I and the people I brought with me will follow your instructions from now on. If there is anything, just give me your instructions."

"Okay." Rong Enqing nodded in satisfaction, pointed at the dozens of people in the middle of the yard and asked, "Can you handle so many people?"

Tingqin looked back carefully at the dozens of people behind Butler Li. After a moment, she turned back with a serious look, "In a desperate situation, I am confident that I can take Madam away safely."

What this means is that the disparity in power is so great that the best he can do is save her life.

Seeing Rong Enqing's face change drastically, Tingqin thought for a moment and added, "Although I have quite a few martial artists among them, I don't know how deep they are without any action. Maybe I overestimated them."

"Madam, what Tingqin said is right."

Hu Shan hesitated for a long time, but finally spoke up, "With just a dozen of us, we are no match for that group of people."

Tingqin didn't know the strength of the people behind Butler Li, but he knew.

Because he was one of them before. Of course, he was the most powerful one. Otherwise, he would not have been chosen to serve the two Marquises Yun Zhen and Yun Ye successively.

Rong Enqing was filled with helplessness. She thought that Tingqin and the others were very skilled and could defeat the other side with their strength. But she never thought that Tingqin brought people here just to ensure her life was safe.

At this moment, Butler Li suddenly asked, "You are one of the baby girls sent to the border, right? Little girl, has the poison in you been cured? Do you know what your mission is? How dare you get involved?"

As soon as these words came out, Hu Shan's face changed immediately, and he looked at Ting Qin nervously, "What kind of poison? Are you poisoned?"

Tingqin quickly gave Hu Shan a soothing look, then turned to look at Butler Lao Li, "Ruhua and I did follow the county lady from the border to the capital. Our mission, in addition to protecting the county lady's safety, was to be loyal to her. As for the poison you mentioned, it was already cured when we followed her."

"Solved?" Butler Li's eyes were slightly stern, and he was thinking about which link had gone wrong.

At this time, Hu Shan shouted angrily: "Li Mao, you took my daughter away, saying that you would raise her in secret? And you actually dared to poison her!? If she hadn't met the Princess of Anyang by chance, I'm afraid she would still be under your control. You old thief! I'm going to kill you!"

Hu Shan was furious and was about to rush up to fight Li Mao, but before he could take a step, he was stopped by Tingqin.

"Dad, please be patient. This matter needs to be considered carefully."

Hu Shan clenched his fists angrily, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart.

The most important thing right now is how to solve the current dilemma.

"Madam? What should we do now?"

Tingqin looked at Rong Enqing with a little concern, then looked at Yun Hong and Yun Ye who were tied up, and suggested: "How about letting them go?"

Rong Enqing frowned, shook his head firmly and refused: "If we let them go today, there will be no chance again in the future."

If she lets Yun Hong and his son go, all that awaits her is death.

No matter whether it was Yun Hong's revenge, Emperor Taihe's pursuit of responsibility, or asking her to pay for Yuan's life, she would definitely have no way to survive.

Now, her only way out was to follow the advice given to her by Nanny Zhou, to capture Yun Hong and his son, capture Butler Li, and perhaps also Xu Changping, and then hand them over to Emperor Taihe together with the gold.

So, she absolutely couldn't let them go easily.

But what else can she do?

Perhaps, the only way to force Butler Li to surrender is to threaten him with the lives of Yun Hong and his son.

Thinking of this, Rong Enqing pulled out the hairpin on her head, turned around and pressed it against Yun Hong's neck.

Li Mao's eyes flashed with a hint of teasing, "Madam, are you trying to threaten me?"

Rong Enqing didn't waste any words and got straight to the point: "Just tell me if it works or not."

Li Mao chuckled and asked, "What if I say this trick doesn't work on me?"

Rong Enqing frowned, "It doesn't work? Well, how about I try it?"

As she spoke, the hairpin lightly pierced into Yun Hong's neck. Blood immediately flowed down.
