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

Ling Jiurong is not as stupid as Ling Xiaofu. Although she has been lost several times in the past, she is now extremely clear-headed.

Facing Mrs. Lan's persuasion, she just smiled indifferently, with a hint of cunning in her eyes.

"Whatever the Madam says is fine! I still have some scriptures in the yard to offer to my mother, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, she turned and left with firm steps and without the slightest hesitation.

When the figure completely disappeared from sight, Mrs. Lan slowly restrained the smile on her face, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

"This little bitch is smart now."

At this moment, Mother Wang hurried back. She looked at Madam Lan and spoke respectfully.

"Madam, I found out. Before the fourth young lady came, she had been called over and reprimanded by the head of the family, but she still refused to change her mind. Now the head of the family can do nothing about it. After all, the fourth young lady is looking for someone from the City Lord's Mansion, not from the Ling family, and the head of the family has no power to dispatch them."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lan curled up a cold smile. She stroked the teacup on the table, her tone full of sarcasm.

"She really did it for her own mother Lin Zhiyao, regardless of the consequences! It seems that the resentment in her heart has made her completely lost."

Her eyes became deep, as if she was thinking about some far-reaching plan.

Mrs. Lan spoke softly after a long while.

"Go to the Second Young Master's courtyard and tell him what happened today. Jiuze is a smart child, he will know what to do."

Upon hearing this, Mother Wang quickly responded and retreated. She knew that Madam Lan's decisions were always wise, and the Second Young Master Ling Jiuze was also a meticulous person, he would definitely understand Madam Lan's intentions.

As expected, after Ling Jiuze listened to Mother Wang's story, he just spoke lightly, with a hint of coldness in his voice.

"Arrange a few of our people to infiltrate the people in the City Lord's Mansion and find an opportunity to kill those two slaves."

When Mother Wang heard this, her heart trembled. She knew what the Second Young Master's words meant.

She nodded quickly and turned to leave.

In Jiu'an Hall, Liuying was lying on the bed, her face as pale as paper, her breath weak, as if she would die at any time.

Liu Zhu sat beside the bed and carefully fed a precious pill into her mouth, but the effect was minimal and Liu Ying's injuries were still serious.

Liu Zhu's brows were furrowed, her eyes full of worry. She knew very well that Liu Ying's injuries were too severe, and she would never recover without careful care for ten days or half a month.

But for them, this period of time is full of unknowns and dangers.

Liuying spoke in a feeble voice, as thin as a mosquito's.

"How...are you injured?"

Liu Zhu made a bitter face and shook his head helplessly.

"My golden elixir has been sealed, and I can't use my spiritual power. Now I am just like an ordinary person, without any ability to protect myself."

There was a flash of despair and helplessness in her eyes. She knew that they were now in a desperate situation.

Liuying spoke helplessly, her voice revealing deep worry.

"It seems that the fourth lady is determined to let the master die outside!"

There was anger and unwillingness in her eyes, but she was powerless to change the status quo.

Do I really have to watch my master die?

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhu also sighed, her heart filled with heaviness and helplessness.

She understood that the current situation was extremely critical for them.

"I'm afraid it's not just my master. Now you and I have no power to protect ourselves. If Madam Lan and the others want to take action, we will surely die."

There was a hint of despair in her voice. She knew that their status in this family was already humble, and now they had lost all their support and protection.

Faced with the threats from Madam Lan and others, they had no ability to resist at all.

Liuying and Liuzhu looked at each other and saw deep despair and helplessness in each other's eyes.

At night, the moonlight was as bright as water. Outside Jiu'an Hall, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion were still on high alert, guarding this surrounded courtyard.

However, they did not realize that a new force was quietly infiltrating them.

Ling Jiuze's men were dressed in similar clothes to the guards of the City Lord's Mansion. They had stern faces and agile bodies. They were like ghosts in the night, quietly blending into the guards.

Their movements were swift and precise, without attracting anyone's attention.

Two Jindan masters stood not far away. Their eyes were as sharp as eagles, always alert to the movements around them.

However, they were unaware of the infiltration of Ling Jiuze's men.

Because in their opinion, there were only two servants in Jiu'an Hall and they couldn't cause any trouble.

They are confident that they are strong enough to deal with any emergency.

However, they did not know that Ling Jiuze's men had infiltrated the guards with only one purpose, which was to find an opportunity to get rid of Liu Zhu and Liu Ying, the two annoying servants.

In the night, the atmosphere became increasingly eerie.

The moonlight was blocked by clouds, making the already dark outside Jiu'an Hall even more depressing.

Rugao, who was at the peak of the Golden Core stage, glanced at Ruhu standing beside him, frowned slightly, and a feeling of uneasiness surged in his heart.

"I always feel like something is wrong."

Rugao whispered, his voice was particularly clear in the silent night.

Ru Hu frowned when he heard this. He looked around, trying to find the source of the uneasiness.

However, he found nothing except night and silence.

"Someone sneaked in?"

Ru Hu guessed, with a hint of doubt and caution in his tone.

Rugao shook his head and denied Ruhu's guess.

"We are from the City Lord's Mansion. People from the Ling family wouldn't be so reckless."

Because Liuying was injured, Liuzhu stayed by her bedside and never left her side.

In this quiet night, her already tense nerves became even more sensitive, and any slight sound could not escape her ears.

Soon, she heard faint footsteps outside the door. Although the sound was slight, it was like thunder in her ears.

Her expression changed slightly, and alarm bells immediately rang in her heart.

"Someone!"

She exclaimed quietly, making a quick judgment.

The people in the City Lord's Mansion were only responsible for trapping them and would never easily come in to disturb them, so the person who came in could only be...

She had already guessed the answer in her heart, her expression changed, and she subconsciously gripped the sword in her hand.

Her fingers clasped the hilt of the sword tightly, which was her only support.

The footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer, and Liu Zhu's heartbeat quickened.

At the same time, several people outside the door were approaching cautiously. They looked at each other with a cunning light in their eyes.

However, they did not notice that a fiery red fox was approaching silently from behind.

Lingling looked at the few people and licked her paws nonchalantly.
