Nanny Zhang, Nanny Deng, and Wu Quan each carried a bundle of quilts on their backs.

At first, the servants didn't dare to actually take action.

But when the maids started fighting, every move drew blood.

Soon the servants could no longer hold on.

Li Chaojing suffered several losses!

He hardened his heart, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Since you don't accept the reward after your toast, I will kill you all!"

As he said this, he was the first to raise his sword and stab Nanny Zhang.

Nanny Zhang's shoulder was pierced, and the tip of the sword then pierced the quilt behind her.

Aunt Zhang angrily cursed, "You beast!"

If the old lady was really behind her, wouldn't he really want to kill her mother?!

Li Chaojing sneered: "You dare to play tricks under my nose, you are not qualified!"

He had long suspected that none of this was true.

After saying that, he drew his sword and stabbed it again directly at the bedding behind Nanny Zhang.

The cotton was plucked and flew all over the sky.

Li Chaojing was not surprised at all.

He shouted, "Take off everything on their backs and let this general take a look!"

"How dare you, you criminal slaves, kidnap the old lady and flee the palace? If any of you dare to harm the old lady in the slightest, I will kill you all on the spot!"

The servants all shouted, "Yes, General!"

Seeing this, Madam Deng cursed: "Li Chaojing, you are such a piece of shit! Today we will fight you to the death——"

After saying that, the maids were no longer polite and each of them used their best skills from the past to fight back.

Qu looked around nervously in the crowd.

"Where's Luo'er? Luo'er—Luo'er!!"

Li Kechuan also did not see Li Qingluo.

"Someone, go and catch the girl!"

The people guarding Li Kechuan immediately rushed into the crowd.

But no.

Li Qingluo was nowhere to be found.

Li Kechuan then remembered that during the chaos just now, he clearly saw four people carrying "Grandmother" on their backs!

Why are there only three people here now?

another!?

Could the other one be Li Qingluo?!

Could it be that the person on her back is the real grandmother?!

She is a young girl, how can she carry an old man on her back?

And he ran away so nimbly and easily! ?

Li Kechuan's breathing became much heavier.

Qu was panicking and wanted to rush into the crowd.

"Luo'er—Luo'er! Come out quickly, Luo'er—! Mother is here, Luo'er—"

Her eyes were red and her voice was a little panicked.

She didn't want to lose another daughter, and even thought of the scene at the Guanshui Cliff in Qishan last time.

She made a wrong choice at that time, which pushed Luo'er further and further away.

She did all this today just to give her a good future.

Why couldn't she understand?

Li Chaojing heard Qu's cry and looked at the crowd, but where was the rebellious girl?!

He then yelled, "Oh no! I've been tricked by this rebellious girl!!"

But by the time he reacted, it was already too late.

Li Qingluo had already left the general's residence carrying Madam Pei on her back.

Cui'er was already waiting at the back corner door.

Or maybe Nanny Deng realized something was wrong. When she went to the second and third rooms to notify them, she was careful and asked Cui'er to wait at the back corner door.

Tonight, Li Chaojing called all the servants to surround Jingci Hall.

So Cui'er knocked down the servant guarding the back corner gate with just one stick.

Otherwise, Li Qingluo wouldn't have come out so quickly.

She still held the sword in her hand.

Her grandmother was on her back, tightly bound with a cloth.

"Grandma, Luo'er won't let anything happen to you."

Li Qingluo turned his head halfway to glance at his grandmother, and only felt at ease when he felt that she was still breathing.

Without any more hesitation, she walked faster and faster and rushed into the dark night with the help of Que'er and others.

There was no time to harness the carriage, and by the time Li Chaojing reacted, the stable would naturally be defended.

Everything happened too hastily and there was no time to prepare, so Li Qingluo and his companions could only run wildly in the dark night.

Soon Li Chaojing led his men out of the house and rushed to the streets to search for the whereabouts of Li Qingluo and Madam Pei.

"Here—there—"

"quick!"

Many people on the street were bumped into and couldn't help but mutter, "What happened?"

"Yeah, why does he look like a servant from the General's Mansion in Dongyin Lane?"

"Why is it their house again?"

However, while everyone was still suspicious, the leading servant had already stood on a high place and shouted loudly: "There is a thief in my Cavalry General's Mansion today!"

"This thief took the seriously ill old lady of my general's mansion hostage and has now escaped from the general's mansion!"

"Everyone, if anyone sees a suspicious person and helps me capture the thief and rescue the old lady, I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver!"

"If anyone accidentally kills the thief, there will be a reward of 500 taels of silver!"

"Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded!"

"..."

There was an instant uproar from below.

Many people became excited and passionate.

You can get money by providing a clue. Who doesn’t want to try their luck?

Moreover, he might get one thousand two hundred taels of silver. In that instant, he wished that he was the one who caught the thief and rescued the old lady.

The whole street was in chaos in an instant.

Li Qingluo and others who were hiding in the dark changed their expressions.

Que'er: "Master, are you trying to use this trick to force the young lady to return home?"

Li Qingluo: "Right now, I'm afraid he really wants me dead."

Kill the thief and you will be rewarded with 500 silver coins.

Isn't she the 'thief'?

Why didn't he dare to tell everyone that the eldest daughter of his general's mansion was this 'thief'!?

Li Qingluo sneered: "He's dreaming if he wants to force me to show up."

Cui Er was the most timid one: "Where can we go then?"

Ying'er said, "Miss, I know a house that belongs to the old lady, but to get there now, we have to go through the city."

Li Qingluo: "No. If we go through the city, we will definitely be discovered. Grandmother, we can't waste any more time. We must go to Prince Su's Mansion immediately!"

Ying'er and Nanny Zheng, who escorted Li Qingluo out, were both shocked when they heard this.

"Prince Su's Mansion!?"

How come the girl said going to Prince Su's Mansion was as easy as going home?

That, that is Prince Su!

Li Qingluo: "But going to Prince Su's Mansion now is still quite risky... Wait! I know a place, come with me!"

It’s Guiyuan.

That is Prince Su’s private residence, and it’s the fastest way to get there!

After settling her grandmother down, she went to beg King Su to save her grandmother's life!

At this moment, Li Qingluo had no doubt that Prince Su would turn her away, and this was her only hope tonight.

After Li Qingluo finished speaking, he no longer hesitated and quickly ran deeper into the alley with Que'er and others.

Li Qingluo had followed Zhui Yu a few times in the middle of the night, and those times he had to avoid the eyes of the patrols, so even ordinary people and the servants in the general's mansion would not easily find this road.

Que'er was originally worried that it would be tiring for her to carry Old Madam Pei all the way.

But seeing that Li Qingluo didn't even breathe, he began to admire his girl's strength.

On this side, the master and his servants fled to Guiyuan to escape, while on the other side, Duan Rongshi had just come out of the Dali Temple.

He was riding on his horse, looking at the chaos on the street, as if everyone was looking for someone, so he looked at Zhui Yu who had just started his shift today.

Zhui Yu went to inquire about it, and with a look of anxiety on his face, he hurried back to report, "Your Highness, there's been an incident at the General's Mansion. Right now, the servants are catching thieves all over the streets. They say this thief has kidnapped Madam Pei!"

Duan Rongshi: "Thieves? Did they capture Madam Pei?"

Zhui Yu: "Yeah. This is so outrageous, there must be something strange going on!"

After all, everyone knows that Madam Pei is a heroic female general. How could anyone in this world kidnap her from the general's mansion?

Only the common people on this street who are easily fooled believe it.

Duan Rongshi's eyes darkened: "Go and find out where Miss Li is."

Zhui Yu turned around immediately: "Yes——"

Duan Rongshi looked at the chaos on the street and gave an order: "Return home!"

Li Qingluo safely arrived at the gate of Guiyuan, carrying Old Madam Pei on his back.

She knocked on the door and it opened quickly.

She pulled down the mask covering her face. "It's me. Can you let me in?"

The mute slaves were naturally surprised to see her.

Without hesitation, he welcomed her into the house.

Que'er and the others were still confused. Li Qingluo had already carried their grandmother on his back and placed her in a room.

What exactly is this place?

How come these gatekeepers let them in so easily?

The mute slave made some hand gestures, which Ying'er happened to understand.

"Girl, they asked if they could help get a doctor?"

Li Qingluo: "Yes!"

"However, I have to go to the Prince Su's Mansion myself! Only the famous doctors in the Prince Su's Mansion can give me a glimmer of hope to save my grandmother's life!"

Li Qingluo quickly put on a maid's coat, took off all the jewelry on her hair, and quickly braided her long hair into a braid. Then she hurried out the door with a mute slave who she was most familiar with.

Ying'er looked in the direction where Li Qingluo disappeared and asked Que'er, "Young lady, are you always so decisive and efficient?"

She even dared to go out late at night without bringing Que'er and Cui'er with her. There is no such brave girl in the world, right?

The streets are full of people looking for her, isn't she afraid at all?

Que'er: "What's the big deal? Our girl has saved lives several times, and she's always turned the situation around on her own. If we follow them, sometimes we end up being a hindrance."

Ying'er sighed, "Young lady, you are so sincere to the old lady."

Que'er's eyes turned red, and they both looked at the unconscious old lady lying on the bed.

"Of course. In the girl's heart, the most important person in the world is the old lady."

"Ying'er, let's not sit idle. I don't know what the situation is like over there with my grandma. Let's split up and act accordingly."

"Ying'er, you stay here and take care of the old lady. I'm going to go meet my grandma and the others! I hope they're all safe and sound!"

Although Li Qingluo was disguised as a maid in Guiyuan, she still carried her grandmother's sword.

There were no horses in Guiyuan, so she and the mute slave could only run all the way.

She did not try to dodge along the way, just wanted to pretend to be an ordinary person and walk on the street. She even deliberately drew some flower prints on her face with wall plaster.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped on a small road not far from Prince Su's Mansion.

As luck would have it, the people in front of him were the servants from the general's mansion.

"Stop! Have you two ladies seen anyone suspicious?"
