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

Xiu Zhang felt a little guilty, but still said, "Eunuch Liu, I don't want to go back to the palace."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xin's face suddenly darkened, "Do you know what you mean by this?"

Xiu Zhang nodded: "I know, if I don't go back I will die."

"I know, why don't you go back?"

"But even if I die, I just want to be an ordinary maid beside the Madam."

As he said this, Xiu Zhang was about to kneel down and kowtow to Liu Xin, "Please help me, Eunuch Liu."

Liu Xin looked at Xiu Zhang without saying anything. He then turned to Rong Enqing and said, "Madam, the people pardoned by the emperor do not include the girls around you."

"Eunuch Liu, these girls around me have nothing to do with the rebellion in the Marquis' Mansion. Could you please show some mercy, Eunuch Liu?"

"Madam, please don't embarrass me. This is the emperor's will, and I can't do anything about it. I advise you to take your girls and leave as soon as possible. It's too late, and no one knows what will happen."

Liu Xin shook his head. This old lady was really careless. Even at this moment, she didn't want to run away quickly, but still had time to worry about the maids serving her.

Rong Enqing couldn't bear it, so he asked again, "May I ask, Eunuch Liu, how will the emperor deal with these maids of mine? Do I have a chance to rescue them?"

Eunuch Liu looked at Rong Enqing with mixed feelings, and finally said helplessly: "The emperor means that all servants in the Marquis' Mansion must be interrogated. Those who have problems will be executed. Those who have no problems will be sent to the army, and the women will be sold.

"Most of these girls around the Madam will probably have to suffer. However, if there is really no problem after the interrogation, the Madam may still have a chance to buy them back when they are sold."

"Thank you, Eunuch Liu, thank you, Eunuch Liu." Rong Enqing said gratefully. As long as there is hope, it's fine.

"Then could you please, Eunuch Liu, help look after it?" As he said this, he was about to take out some silver from his bag and give it to Liu Xin.

However, as soon as she put her hand into the package, Liu Xin reminded her: "Madam, the emperor has ordered that you cannot take anything from the Marquis's mansion away."

Rong Enqing's hand froze in the bag. After a while, she pulled her hand out with an awkward look. But she clenched her hand into a fist.

"This... We are not allowed to take things out of the house, so how are we going to survive after we leave? Without money, how can I redeem these girls in the future?"

"That's Madam's own business."

Liu Xin glanced at Rong Enqing and urged, "Madam, leave your things behind and take the girls with you and leave quickly."

Rong Enqing was helpless, so he turned to Nanshan and the others and said, "Don't be afraid, just answer whatever is asked of you. Stay alive and wait for me, I will definitely find a way to save you."

Nanshan and the others nodded obediently and agreed: "Okay."

Ah Shou looked at Rong Enqing eagerly and said, "Madam, you must come and save us as soon as possible. Without me, I'm afraid you and the girls won't be able to enjoy your meals."

Rong Enqing reached out and touched Nanshan and A Shou's heads, and promised solemnly: "Okay. I will definitely find a way to rescue you as soon as possible."

After instructing the little girls, Rong Enqing turned to look at Xiu Zhang again, "Have you made up your mind? Do you really not want to return to the palace?"

Xiu Zhang nodded: "Madam, I want to follow you."

"Okay." Rong Enqing agreed decisively.

Liu Xin on the side frowned and was about to say something when he saw Rong Enqing turn around to face him and kneel on the ground with a plop.

"Madam, what are you doing..." Liu Xin was shocked.

Although Rong Enqing is no longer the dowager lady of the Marquis's Mansion, there is no reason for her to kneel to him!

"Madam!" Xiu Zhang was also shocked and reached out to pull Rong Enqing up.

Unexpectedly, Rong Enqing remained unmoved, broke away from Xiu Zhang's hand, and pleaded with Liu Xin:

"Eunuch Liu, please tell the emperor that I am willing to exchange my life for Xiu Zhang's. I only ask the emperor to show some leniency and let Xiu Zhang see the world outside the palace in the future."

After saying that, he kowtowed to Liu Xin.

"Madam..." Xiu Zhang knelt beside Rong Enqing, his eyes red and his heart filled with emotion.

"I am also willing to exchange my life for Sister Xiu Zhang's life." Yun Luo also knelt beside Rong Enqing.

Seeing this, Yunying also knelt down and said, "I am willing too."

Yun Ai followed suit and knelt down and said, "Me too."

Several masters knelt down, and Nanshan and others behind them also knelt down one after another, "Please show mercy, Eunuch Liu."

Even Liu Xin, who had experienced many storms, was shocked by the scene before him.

Xiu Zhang, that is a special maid who was trained in the palace since she was young. It is not an exaggeration to call her a death warrior. But such a person has only been with Rong for a short year, and she has developed feelings for him!

And he had never thought that a mistress of a marquis's mansion who had been honored for decades would actually do this for a maid she had only been with for a year!

He was just a lowly eunuch! But Rong was willing to kneel down to him for Xiu Zhang!

There were also the granddaughters raised by Rong, and the group of maids kneeling behind her! They were all willing to follow Rong to death!

Liu Xin was deeply shocked and said, "Madam, please get up quickly. I will tell His Majesty what you said. But I can't guarantee the result. Before that, Xiu Zhang will stay with the maids in your courtyard."

"Thank you, Eunuch Liu." Rong Enqing thanked him.

"Thank you, Eunuch Liu." The others followed suit.

Xiu Zhang helped Rong Enqing up.

Rong Enqing patted Xiu Zhang's hand and said nothing more. He turned to Yun Luo and the others and said, "Put down your bags and let's go."

Yunluo and the others quickly put the small bags they were carrying on their arms on the ground.

Rong Enqing also handed the bag on his arm to Liu Xin.

"Eunuch Liu, we'll leave first if everything is alright."

Liu Xin took a deep look at Rong Enqing's wrist, which was exposed when he handed over the bundle, and shook his head silently. In the end, he still said nothing. He nodded, stepped aside, and said, "Please."

Rong Enqing naturally noticed Liu Xin's gaze and pulled his sleeves guiltily.

Hearing Liu Xin's words, he quickly bent down and picked up the youngest Yun Ai, and called Yun Luo and Yun Ying, "Let's go."

She said as she walked out.

Upon hearing this, Yunluo took Yunying's hand and quickly caught up with Rong Enqing.

Liu Xin looked at the four generations of grandparents and grandchildren who were leaving quickly, feeling both admiration and amusement.

Madam Rong is really... hard to evaluate.

It would be fine if you wore six jade bracelets on one wrist.

What about those dense ropes around the neck?

Just now, when Rong Enqing bent down to hug Yun Ai, he inadvertently saw the back of her neck exposed under her collar.

The back of the neck was covered with thin ropes, so dense that they covered half of the neck. There must be thirty or forty of them?
