So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

Seeing this, Liu Zhu's eyes were red with anger. She wanted to rush over to help Liu Ying up, but she was trapped by the guards and could not move.

Her heart was filled with despair and anger, but she knew that the most important thing now was to stay calm and find a breakthrough.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break through.

The two masters at the peak of the Golden Core stage were too powerful and she was no match for them at all.

The other guards were no pushovers either. They were well-trained and worked in perfect harmony, trapping Liuzhu and Liuying firmly in place.

Liu Zhu looked at the fireflies on the ground, her eyes filled with pain and unwillingness.

She knew that she could no longer get out and her master's life was in danger.

Her heart was filled with regret and self-blame. If she had discovered her master's situation earlier, if she had taken action earlier, perhaps everything would not have turned out like this.

However, it's too late to say anything now.

She could only watch her master in danger while she was powerless to do anything.

Her tears burst out, dripped onto the ground, and turned into a pool of bitter tears.

Ling Jiurong stood not far away, watching the scene coldly.

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she turned and left, leaving behind despair and pain.

Ling Changfeng was shocked to learn that Ling Jiurong had actually gone to the City Lord's Mansion to invite experts to surround Jiu'an Hall.

He didn't expect that his daughter would do something so decisive and escalate the disputes within the family to such an extent.

However, faced with Ling Jiurong's determination, he finally called her over, but his heart was filled with complicated emotions.

He looked at Ling Jiurong with a complicated expression.

"You led people to surround Jiu'an Hall. Don't you want Jiu'an to come back alive?"

There was a hint of pain and helplessness in his voice.

Ling Jiurong looked indifferent, like a cold stone, and she answered nonchalantly.

"Father can think so."

There was no fluctuation in her tone, and she knew very well that her father didn't care about her.

Ling Changfeng sneered when he heard this.

"Are you doing this to protect Liu Zhu Liu Ying? Or is it because of the jealousy and resentment in your heart that you don't want Jiu An to come back alive?"

Ling Jiurong's expression changed slightly. She didn't expect her father to question her so directly.

She pursed her lips and wanted to explain, but found that she had no way to speak.

In the end, she could only answer coldly.

"Father...I just want to protect the people I want to protect."

Ling Changfeng sighed, feeling mixed emotions for a moment.

He knew that the "people I wanted to protect" that Ling Jiurong mentioned were none other than Liu Zhu and Liu Ying.

These two girls followed her mother back then, and now have followed her eldest brother for many years before following Jiuan, so it is understandable that Jiurong wants to protect them.

However, he also understood that if Jiuan knew all this, the relationship between the sisters would probably become even more tense.

After all, how should Ling Jiurong's original intention be explained?

He was filled with helplessness and heartache, but he didn't know how to resolve the deadlock.

In the end, he could only sigh again and speak earnestly.

"Jiurong, you should know that Jiuan is also your sister. You sisters should live in harmony, instead of being suspicious and resentful of each other like you are now. If mother were still alive, she would definitely not want to see you like this."

Ling Jiurong smiled coldly.

"Father, you should know that in my heart, she has never been a sister, but the sinner who killed mother."

When Ling Changfeng heard this, he felt a pain in his heart.

He knew that Ling Jiurong's hatred for Jiuan was deep-rooted and it would be extremely difficult to resolve it.

Because in his heart, he always felt that it was Ling Jiuan who killed Lin Zhiyao.

Ling Changfeng took a deep breath.

He knew very well that he could not intervene in this matter, because no matter which side he took, it would only intensify the conflict.

So he could only shake his head helplessly and sigh.

"Forget it. I won't interfere in this matter. It's just... she is your sister after all, so don't go too far. Otherwise, no matter what your starting point is, there will inevitably be a rift between you two sisters."

There was a hint of pleading in his voice, and he obviously hoped that Ling Jiurong could restrain herself and not go too far.

However, Ling Jiurong just looked at him coldly without giving any response.

In Madam Lan's yard, Mother Wang hurried in and spoke anxiously.

"Madam, big news! The fourth young lady led people to surround Jiu'an Hall, injured and imprisoned Ling Jiu'an's two maids, and did not allow them to rescue people."

Upon hearing this, Madam Lan was stunned, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

She didn't expect Ling Jiurong to do such a decisive thing. She surrounded Jiu'an Hall and injured Jiu'an's two maids.

She sighed inwardly in her heart, this Ling Jiurong really hated her own sister!

She was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"Mother Wang, go and find out what's going on with Ling Jiurong. Also, try to find a way to contact our people and tell them to be careful."

Mother Wang nodded and quickly retreated.

After Mother Wang left, Madam Lan glanced at the door and gave instructions to the servants.

"Someone, go and call Miss Four over."

After a while, Ling Jiurong arrived.

She walked into Mrs. Lan's yard with an indifferent look, as if she was not interested in anything here.

Mrs. Lan looked at Ling Jiurong with helplessness.

She sighed.

"Fourth Miss, why are you doing this? If the matter gets out of hand and the head of the family punishes you, you..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiurong simply glanced at Madam Lan indifferently, and then spoke indifferently.

"Madam, I just can't stand her being so reckless. He can't say anything about my father. After all, he has never liked me."

Upon hearing this, Madam Lan felt very proud.

Ling Jiurong is such an idiot!

She looked at Ling Jiurong and spoke earnestly.

"Fourth Miss, if you do this, it will only deepen the gap between you and Jiu'an. After all, you are sisters and should live in harmony instead of being suspicious and resentful of each other. If you do this, it will only make the disputes within the family more serious and put you in a deeper predicament."

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiurong just smiled coldly and did not respond to Madam Lan's words.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lan could only speak helplessly.

"Forget it, as long as you are happy. As for other matters, I think the family will make their own judgment."

Ling Jiurong was not completely unaware of Madam Lan, she just smiled faintly.

"Madam, Ling Jiuan made my third sister a cripple. Don't you hate him? Or do you love your father so much that you don't care about these things?"

Mrs. Lan's face changed slightly, and she barely managed to control her emotions until her nails dug into her flesh.

"Miss Fourth is joking. Jiuxi is incompetent and you can't blame Miss Fifth entirely."
