Favoring the concubine and killing the wife? She divorced the concubine and lived with her concubine
Chapter 37 Can’t the wooden door be opened?
Several maids hurriedly chased Sun out, only to find that there were four or five people who looked like servants guarding the door, unlike before.
Sun grabbed Sun Jiye and rushed to the door without even looking at him. A clever maid quickly grabbed Sun.
"Madam, these people... look unfamiliar!"
Sun was stunned. After a closer look, she really didn't recognize him. She quickly protected Sun Jiye and retreated.
The others also saw them, and after a glance, two of them chased after them with swords in hand. The crowd, which had been slowly retreating, quickly turned and ran. The maids didn't care about the old lady or the young master, and fled in all directions.
The two men were also very discerning. They only chased Sun and Sun Jiye, a woman and a fat boy, neither of whom could run away. It didn't take long before they were stopped by the two men with knives. They grabbed their shoulders and dragged them back to the door to discuss what to do with them.
Sun Shaohua rushed to Xiao Lan with three servants. On the way, he met Jasmine with blood on her hands, who ran towards him crying.
"Master, Master! In the Madam's room... In the Madam's room!" Jasmine was already panting, the blood on her hands shocking. Sun Shaohua couldn't help but tremble in his heart. This is...
He didn't care about anything else and immediately ran to Xiao Lan's yard. When he got there, he found that the place was in chaos.
Fang Qingqing and several maids stood at the door, bewildered. Two of the four gatekeepers were injured, huddled aside, clutching their wounds. Looking into the yard, Xiao Lan's door was tightly shut; no one knew what had happened inside.
"What's going on inside..." Sun Shaohua's voice sounded anxious, but no one responded to him for a while.
"Speak!" he said angrily, but he didn't know who to be angry with.
"Someone broke into Madam's room through the window, and then two people came in at the door, injured two people, and ran in." A servant named Li Si replied. He had a knife wound on his shoulder and was bleeding a lot, but there was not much expression on his face.
"Madam and Xin'er are both in there?" Sun Shaohua asked after looking at his wound.
"Yes, and Mother Xu!"
Sun Shaohua suddenly felt something was wrong. How many people were coming?
"Master, hurry up and go now while no one is paying attention to this place. See if there is a door to get out and report to the police right away!" Li Si urged.
"I'm leaving?" Sun Shaohua hesitated, unsure if he could escape now. It looked like the gang was targeting the warehouse. The lock on the warehouse door had been installed by a craftsman hired by the old county magistrate, who had been told to show him his skills. Ordinary people couldn't open it with brute force, so these people were desperately searching for the key.
The maid who had followed Sun before fled secretly and in a panic, she also ran to the gate of this courtyard. She was panting, and seeing that there were people here, she hurried forward.
"Master, little lady..."
Sun Shaohua saw that it was the maidservant beside the old lady, but when he looked behind her, he could not see Sun and Sun Jiye. "Where is the old lady? Where is the young master?"
"There were people watching at the gate... at the main gate! Four or five of them, holding knives, took the old lady and the young master away!"
"It seems that we are going to rob today! Isn't Chi Yu outside?" Fang Qingqing suddenly thought of it and looked at Sun Shaohua.
"Yes, but I told him to keep watch somewhere else tonight and not to come back!" Sun Shaohua felt a little regretful. At least he asked him to come back and report so that he could find out what was wrong in the house.
"We have quite a few servants, cooks, and maids in this house. Aren't they afraid someone will escape? This robbery is too blatant!" Fang Qingqing found it a bit strange. "And why can we move around freely here? Or maybe they're sure no one can escape."
Sun Shaohua also felt it was strange. Why had there been no further movement so far?
"During dinner, there were a few fewer people in the kitchen, but the head chef and the kitchen manager were there." Haitang thought about it carefully and realized that the kitchen manager was the sturdy woman that Yu's mother brought last time.
"It seems that this is a collaboration between inside and outside. They have made sufficient preparations to trap us here." Li Si thought for a while and said in a low voice, "Besides, they think that we servants are nothing to be afraid of." He glanced at the two injured brothers.
Sun Shaohua felt that his legs had no strength at all. If Li Si had not been quick to support him, he would have collapsed to the ground.
He began to wonder if he could give his family and himself a way to survive if he handed over the warehouse key.
"There are people here too!" Three people came from nowhere and rushed towards them with big knives in their hands!
In an instant, there was chaos at the gate of the courtyard!
-----------------
The room seemed calmer than outside.
On the bed, Mother Xu held Xin'er behind her, but she didn't dare hug her, fearing that she would touch her wound. Xin'er sobbed softly, not daring to cry out loud. Those people had just told her that if she cried out loud, her mother would suffer.
Xiao Lan knelt on the ground, trying her best to regulate her breathing and keep herself calm.
She looked at the man sitting on the couch, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent. His right hand, which held the knife, was missing a pinkie. Everyone called him "Big Brother." Beside him, Wang Yun, though also holding a knife, showed no courage at all, glancing at this "Big Brother" from time to time.
Mother Yu and Butler Wang were not in a good situation either. They were forced to kneel on the ground with two men holding knives to their necks.
"Brother...brother, didn't we agree...why are you holding them? They are my uncle and aunt, family..." Wang Yun spoke to his elder brother, but he didn't dare to look at him.
"What did we agree on? We have to pay you even if we agreed on it. We have been going through so much trouble in this house, but we still can't find a key. We are here with a death sentence, and you are putting on a show in front of me?" Liu Hu didn't even look at Wang Yun, but stared at Xiao Lan with malicious eyes.
"..." Mother Yu was so frightened by the knife on her neck that she was short of breath and didn't dare to move. After a long pause, she said, "My dear brother, the old lady would never lie to me. She said the key is with this bitch, so it must be there. Our master is completely bewitched by her and does everything she says. She must have hidden the key!"
Xiao Lan had no idea what the warehouse key they were talking about looked like, but it was just a matter of money anyway.
"Brother, right? You have been around the world and have a lot of experience. Naturally, you can't just listen to one side of the story. This woman has a grudge against me and wants to push the bad things onto me. I am a weak woman with an injured child. If there is something you really want, I will naturally give it all to you to save my life." Although Xiao Lan was kneeling on the ground, he spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Brother, don't listen to her nonsense, she is cunning..." Before Wang Yun finished speaking, Liu Hu's big knife was put on his mouth.
"Then tell me, where is the key to this warehouse? Or, is there any way to open the door of the warehouse." Liu Hu lowered his body, supported his elbows on his knees, and lifted Xiao Lan's chin with the tip of the long knife.
Xiao Lan didn't want to be disfigured, so she raised her head along the tip of the knife, not moving a muscle. She stared into Liu Hu's wretched eyes, clenched her fists, and told herself not to tremble too violently. We all came from a civilized society, and this kind of behavior with knives and guns was still too scary.
"It's just a warehouse, and you guys with knives and guns can't open it? You can't pry it open, you can't break it open, and you need a key for what?"
Liu Hu found this amusing. "Why, you don't know what kind of lock your own storehouse uses? The skilled craftsman hired by the old county magistrate would never be able to open it without a key!"
"Who said that?" Xiao Lan looked at Wang Yun.
Wang Yun quickly said, "What do you know, you bitch? Can the master explain the Sun family's affairs to you clearly? That warehouse has a black iron lock..."
"Don't worry about the lock!" Xiao Lan interrupted him, "As long as it's a lock, you can break it open. Even if you can't break the lock, the door is always made of wood! A wooden door can't be opened? Smash it, chop it with an axe!" She looked at Liu Hu again.
"Brother, I'm afraid you've been tricked by them! You heard him say that the master never told me about the Sun family's affairs. Can you give me the key to the warehouse? Besides...what kind of warehouse can you not open?"
"Brother, please don't..." Before Yu's mother could say something else, Liu Hu slapped her.
"I just find you, a bitch, annoying! You've been bossing me around since you came in this afternoon, and you're always nagging! And you're still talking so much nonsense!"
Liu Hu was very strong. With one slap, he hit Yu's mother's face so hard that it was swollen and two teeth were knocked out. She was unable to recover for a long time.
This time, Yu's mother was completely confused!
She believed what Wang Yun said, that there was a big brother who was in the underworld and helped him save He, and now he is willing to help them, as long as they share some money!
After much thought, Yu's mother actually agreed! She thought that she had lost the master's trust and was waiting for him to come looking for them, so why not empty the warehouse and run away?
But who would have thought that yesterday the master took away the key to their warehouse and locked it up!
After Wang Yun was released from the dog hole in the morning, she secretly ran to the kitchen and asked the kitchen maid and cook to let these people in and hide in the backyard until dark.
She waited until night to get the key and rob the warehouse. She also considered that these people might eat more than they deserved, but it was still better than leaving them all behind! But now, it seemed that she was lucky to be alive.
Seeing that Yu Mama was speechless, and looking at Wang Yun's hesitant look, Xiao Lan was also wondering what the relationship between these people was.
"Have you checked the warehouse?" Xiao Lan asked, "Are you sure it can't be opened?"
Liu Hu turned to look at Wang Yun. He hadn't seen it, because Wang Yun assured him that the storehouse was very strong and could only be opened with a key. Otherwise, it would be in vain. That was why he had gone to such great lengths to look for the key, crawling from the old woman's room to the pretty lady's room.
"Brother... I really... I really can't beat him..." Before Wang Yun could finish his words, another man next to him punched him. The force of the punch instantly made Wang Yun fall backwards and died.
Xiao Lan finally understood why these bandits were so bold and the servants in his house were not afraid at all, because there was no need to be afraid.
"Where is the warehouse? Take me there! I'll spare your child and this woman's life!" Liu Hu looked at Xiao Lan. He was very interested in this woman. Although her hands were shaking with fear, she spoke very coherently.
