You are asked to marry in place of the tyrant, and you allow the tyrant to send you to marry?

"Alas! It seems that things are really going to change in southern Yunnan..."

Lord Feng was really helpless. He couldn't help but sigh and slumped down in his chair.

He poured himself half a cup of tea with trembling hands and almost knocked over the cup, feeling very nervous.

"Sir! The chieftain is back! He's just outside the mansion!"

At this moment, the gatekeeper Tian Si suddenly ran into the hall in a hurry, his face filled with unprecedented joy.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was extremely shocked, their eyes subconsciously widened, and they all looked in disbelief.

"Are you serious? My sister is really back?"

Ke Zhenyu was the first to react. He grabbed Tian Si by the collar and began to question him half-doubtfully.

Tian Si nodded several times and said "hmm" several times.

Upon seeing this, everyone hurried over to confirm it themselves.

"Sister! Is it really you? You scared us to death!"

Seeing Ke Minmin leaning against the wall tiredly and looking in a dishevel, Ke Zhenyu rushed over and hugged her tightly.

At this time, Ke Zhenyu's mood was undoubtedly complicated.

His first reaction was ---

My sister was bullied!

"Sister, where have you been these days? Who did you meet? Why are you like this?"

After the brother and sister hugged each other for nearly two minutes, Ke Zhenyu gently let go of Ke Minmin, lowered his eyes and asked with concern.

But Ke Minmin just pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

She was greatly traumatized and managed to escape from the den of thieves with great difficulty, but she still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

"Brother, sister is fine. Let's go home now. We can discuss it in the morning."

Ke Minmin smiled bitterly and spoke weakly, her voice still so weak that almost no one could hear it.

But Ke Zhenyu heard it clearly and nodded obediently.

"Master Qin, Master Feng, you should all go back and rest first!

My sister is a little tired today, we can discuss it tomorrow."

Ke Zhenyu's gaze fell on Lord Qin and Lord Feng. He looked a little uncomfortable, and his heart felt as painful as if it were being stabbed by a knife.

"That's the only way. Lord Tusi, please take a good rest first. I will come back tomorrow to discuss matters."

Lord Feng was very tactful and immediately asked Lord Qin to leave.

Lord Qin knew that it was not convenient to discuss matters at this time, so he quickly left the Tusi Mansion with Lord Feng.

"Sister, what happened? Are you...hurt?"

After Lord Qin and Lord Feng had completely left, Ke Zhenyu carefully helped Ke Minmin back to her room.

As soon as he asked her to sit down, Ke Zhenyu couldn't wait to know what had happened to Ke Minmin outside in the past few days.

"Brother, on my way back, I was kidnapped by the bandits from Xifeng Mountain and taken to the mountain. I was almost raped by them.

I stabbed myself on purpose to protect myself. They thought I was dead and buried me alive..."

Ke Minmin picked up a cup of tea and drank it in a few gulps.

Recalling the causes and consequences of her being buried alive, she still felt a lingering fear and her face gradually became panic-stricken.

While talking, Ke Minmin put the medicine bottle and silver bills in her arms on the table and gave a helpless smile.

"What are these then? Who gave them to you?"

When Ke Zhenyu saw the medicine bottle and the silver bills, he was stunned for a moment.

He looked at Ke Minmin in confusion, with a bewildered look on his face.

"I guess those bandits thought they had forced me to death and felt guilty, so they gave it to me to use on my way to the underworld!"

When it comes to this, Ke Minmin could only smile bitterly.

She looked very tired and just wanted to forget everything that had happened as soon as possible.

Of course, revenge must never be forgotten.

"It's Xi Fengshan again! I'm going to kill them myself!

Sister, when you recover from your injury, we will send troops to destroy Xi Fengshan!"

While speaking, Ke Zhenyu gently patted Ke Minmin's shoulder with a firm tone.

If it weren't for his sister saying that Xi Fengshan's bandits only robbed the rich to help the poor and never harmed innocent people, he would have wanted to destroy Xi Fengshan's bandits long ago.

Who would have thought that the kindness shown to the bandits would turn into cruelty towards himself today.

How could Ke Zhenyu accept this?

"In the past, we didn't do anything to them because they didn't interfere with our Tusi Mansion in southern Yunnan."

“Now, they actually dare to attack you blatantly!

If I, Ke Zhenyu, cannot completely destroy them and avenge you, I would be unworthy of being your brother!"

This time, Ke Zhenyu swore that he would never let Xi Fengshan's bandits off easily.

Even if it means death, he will never give up!

"Sister, why is there a jade pendant in this banknote?

This jade pendant is so exquisite, is it yours?"

Just as Ke Zhenyu was about to put the banknotes away, he suddenly discovered a jade pendant tightly wrapped inside one of the banknotes.

The exquisiteness of the jade pendant was beyond his expectations.

Ke Zhenyu had never seen a jade pendant of this quality in his life, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Let me see."

Ke Minmin had never noticed the jade pendant and was stunned.

He quickly took the jade pendant from his brother's hand and lowered his eyes to examine it carefully.

"Du? This is the Du family's jade pendant, it should be a family heirloom.

Could it be that the lady from the Du family gave me the medicine bottle and banknotes?"

Ke Minmin thought about it over and over again, but was still very confused.

As far as she could remember, she really didn't remember which Miss Du she had any dealings with, and she didn't know the origin of this jade pendant.

"There are many women in the bandit's den, but I have never been friends with any of them. Who is the owner of this jade pendant?"

After a moment's silence, Ke Minmin talked to herself again.

Hearing this, Ke Zhenyu was also shocked.

In his opinion, the owner of this jade pendant should be his sister's savior.

It’s just that my sister doesn’t remember it.

"Okay, sister, it's getting late. You're tired too, take a bath and have a good rest first.

Don't think about anything now and have a good sleep.

Once your injury has healed, we can discuss this in detail."

Worried that Ke Minmin was too tired and afraid that she would fall into fear and anxiety, Ke Zhenyu quickly found an excuse to leave.

Ke Minmin was really tired after crawling all the way down the mountain.

She felt excruciating pain all over her body, her brain was buzzing, and her consciousness was out of control.

When she heard her brother tell her to have a good rest, she just forced a smile and nodded slightly in agreement.

"Yue'er, get me some clothes."

"Okay, miss."

She turned around and asked the maid Yue'er to bring her clothes. Then she slowly lifted her legs into the bathtub and took a comfortable bath.

next day

When Ke Minmin got up, it was already noon.

It was pouring rain outside the window, with lightning and thunder.

Lord Qin and Lord Feng had already been waiting in the hall, anxiously waiting for Ke Minmin to come out.

"Master Qin, Master Feng, what are you so anxious about?

A few days ago, I went out to inspect the people's conditions and was accidentally kidnapped by bandits. Fortunately, I met a noble person who helped me and I was able to escape from the tiger's mouth."

"I feel really bad for making everyone worry about me these past few days, Minmin. I hope everyone can forgive me."

Ke Minmin spoke calmly and sat down quickly.

His sharp eyes swept across the entire audience, full of hatred.

"Master Tusi, we have received a letter from the imperial court. The emperor specifically asked us, the Tusi of southern Yunnan, to give up some of the gold and silver mines, and also asked us to send troops to attack Loulan. What do you think..."

Lord Feng was talking when he suddenly stopped.

It can be seen that he has been troubled by this problem and has not been able to sleep peacefully for several days.
