Marry the crippled king and seize the kingdom with space!

Xiaoqing immediately grabbed Ye Zirou's wrist, with anxiety and worry in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice.

"Miss, don't go. I'm fine. They just said it, and they didn't do anything to me."

A hint of coldness flashed across Ye Zirou's eyes. She gently patted the back of Xiaoqing's hand, her tone firm and soothing.

"Don't worry, your young lady will be fine. Since they are so mean, I will make them shut their mouths forever."

She pulled her hand out of Xiaoqing's, her eyes burning with anger.

Seeing this, Xiaoqing and Xiaoling were afraid but they quickly followed.

Mo Tianyu stood aside, frowning slightly, then gave a look, and Long Yi and Long San followed.

Ye Zirou walked to the door and kicked it open without hesitation, causing a loud noise.

The yamen runners were enjoying the delicious food prepared by Ye Zirou.

I was suddenly startled by the sound of kicking the door, my chopsticks fell to the ground, and the food in the bowl spilled all over the table.

The people in the next room were also startled by the noise and ran out to see what was going on.

Ye Zirou's eyes were cold and she stared at the yamen runners with uncontrollable anger.

"Those who molested my maid, stand up."

Seeing this, the yamen runners who had teased Xiaoqing stood up slowly with disdainful smiles on their faces.

"It's us, what's wrong?"

"You guys are so brave!" Ye Zirou's eyes were like knives, and her voice was sharp and cold, "How dare you tease my maid!"

One of the bailiffs shrugged disapprovingly.

"It's just a few jokes, what's the big deal?"

"Is it that serious? Then I will make you shut your nasty mouth forever."

Ye Zirou's voice was as cold as ice, and she clenched her hands, ready to take action.

At this moment, Li Mao hurried back and his face changed drastically when he saw this scene.

"What happened? Miss Ye, what are you doing?"

Ye Zirou looked at Li Mao coldly: "As the leader, you don't even know what happened? Go ask your good subordinates."

Li Mao looked at them with a confused look on his face.

"What happened?"

When those people saw Li Mao's gaze, they immediately lowered their heads and remained silent.

Wu Yong walked over at this time and whispered in Li Mao's ear, telling him everything that had just happened.

After listening to this, Li Mao looked at the group of people with a dark face. He turned to Ye Zirou with an apologetic tone.

"Miss Ye, you see this is all a misunderstanding."

Ye Zirou sneered.

"Misunderstanding? I don't think this is a misunderstanding, Li Tou'er. I asked my maid to bring you food with good intentions, but you spoke so wildly to her."

Li Mao nodded quickly: "Yes, it's their fault. I'll ask them to apologize to Miss Xiaoqing, okay?"

"Not good!" Ye Zirou's eyes were like sharp blades.

"Then I'll ask them to kneel down, apologize, and do all the dirty work. Do you think that's feasible?"

"No!" Ye Zirou responded coldly.

Seeing this, Xiaoqing felt sorry for her, so she stepped forward and pulled Ye Zirou's arm, saying softly, "Miss, let's make a big deal out of it. As long as they apologize, that'll be enough."

Seeing this scene, Li Mao turned to Xiaoqing with an earnest tone.

"Miss Xiaoqing, they really didn't mean to offend you. Please forgive them this time. I will immediately take them down and give them a hundred lashes as a punishment. Is that okay with you?"

Xiaoqing pulled Ye Zirou's arm again and advised softly, "Miss, forget it, just give them a hundred lashes."

Ye Zirou looked at Xiaoqing beside her, feeling helpless, and finally sighed.

Li Mao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ye Zirou was somewhat moved by Xiaoqing's words.

He knew that Ye Zirou was a soft-hearted person, and as long as she was willing to listen to Miss Xiaoqing, there would be room for things to turn around.

So he immediately said to the bailiffs in a cold voice: "Come over here and apologize to Miss Xiaoqing!"

After saying that, he kicked them hard, with such force that the bailiffs almost staggered and fell to the ground.

Those yamen runners were not afraid of Ye Zirou, but they were afraid of Li Mao. After all, Li Mao was their immediate superior.

They didn't understand why Li Mao was so afraid of Ye Zirou and the others. He was polite to them all the way. Even if they were royal relatives in the past, they were royal family members who had committed crimes. There was nothing to be afraid of.

However, they did not dare to ask more questions and could only step forward and bow to Xiaoqing.

"We're sorry, Miss Xiaoqing, we've offended you." There was obvious reluctance in their voices and their eyes were full of disdain.

When Ye Zirou heard this perfunctory apology, she frowned slightly and felt unhappy.

Li Mao saw her dissatisfaction at a glance, and immediately scolded her again: "Kneel down!"

The yamen runners looked at Li Mao in surprise, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

Just now when they heard Li Mao asking them to kneel down and apologize, they thought Li Mao was just joking, but they didn't expect that he would really ask them to kneel down. They looked at each other and were reluctant to move.

Seeing this, Li Mao was furious and shouted, "What are you looking at? Hurry up!"

Wu Yong also echoed: "Hurry up, listen to the boss!"

Ever since Wu Yong listened to Li Mao's words, he has been gentle and kind to Ye Zirou.

Moreover, Ye Zirou didn't seem to be as hostile to him as before, so he chose to stand on Ye Zirou's side without hesitation.

The yamen runners had no choice but to kneel down reluctantly and said again:

"We're sorry, Miss Xiaoqing, we've offended you." Their voices were low, with a hint of humiliation and unwillingness.

Then Li Mao ordered: "Come here, take these people away and give them a hundred lashes."

His voice was cold and ruthless, leaving no room for negotiation.

Upon hearing this, several yamen runners' faces suddenly changed and they looked at Li Mao in horror.

But when I think about the fight between our own people, it should just be a pretense.

At this time, Ye Zirou said, "Wait!"

Li Mao and the other yamen runners were all stunned and turned to look at her.

Those yamen runners secretly wondered in their hearts, could it be that Ye Zirou wanted to let them go?

A glimmer of hope arose in their hearts and a faint smile appeared on their faces, but this feeling of happiness always came and went quickly.

"Let my guards do the fighting. I don't trust your people." Ye Zirou said coldly, with a hint of unquestionable firmness in her tone.

Li Mao was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Okay." He knew that he had no room for bargaining in front of Ye Zirou.

Ye Zirou was very satisfied with his answer and nodded.

Then he signaled Long Yi and Long San to follow.

Long San rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He couldn't wait to avenge Xiao Qing.

Although Long Yi had a blank expression on his face, he was already extremely excited inside. He was determined to avenge Xiao Qing.

At this moment, the yamen runners were all stunned and their faces turned pale in an instant.

They kept shouting, "Miss Ye, please forgive us, we know we are wrong."

As they were dragged down, they struggled desperately.

Now they finally realized that they had hit a wall.

Then, Ye Zirou turned around, a faint smile appeared on her face, and said to Li Mao and Wu Yong:

"We won't disturb you from continuing your meal. We'll be leaving first." Her voice was gentle and calm, as if nothing had just happened.

Li Mao and Wu Yong looked at Ye Zirou's departing back and heard the screams of their subordinates. No matter how delicious the food was, it became tasteless.
