Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Li Xiaoxiao put away his frivolous look in an instant and said, "Yes, Master, follow me."

Li Tianze....

master?

When did her daughter-in-law become Li Xiaoxiao's master?

No one answered his question, and the two of them were taken by Li Xiaoxiao into a boudoir in the backyard.

"Master, Yaoyao and Meimei are still busy up ahead, but they've received the news that you're coming and will be here soon."

"No problem, it's the same even if you're here. Sit down and talk."

Li Xiaoxiao sat down next to her and asked, "Master, what do you want?"

"It's not really an order, I just happened to have something I wanted to talk to you about."

"Master, please speak."

If you listen carefully, you can hear a hint of expectation in Li Xiaoxiao's tone.

God knows, over the years, Leng Youran has never told them what to do.

If she and Anliu had not communicated frequently, she would have thought that her master had forgotten their existence.

So I was so happy when I received Leng Youran's message.

Leng Youran had no idea what Li Xiaoxiao was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely tell her. She really didn't want to involve them in her affairs before.

But things are a little different now.

Of course, she did this to make them better.

"Here, you and Yaoyao take a look."

Li Xiaoxiao took the paper she handed over with both hands and slowly opened it. The more she looked at it, the wider her eyes opened.

"Master, Master, are you really going to..."

"Well, you can discuss it with Yaoyao, Meimei, and others. See if you want to do this. If you are willing, please contact me."

Li Xiaoxiao didn't agree immediately. This was a big deal, not something she could decide alone. She suppressed her excitement and said, "Okay, I'll discuss it with Yaoyao, Meimei and the others."

"Well, okay, we'll be leaving first."

"Goodbye, master." Li Xiaoxiao stood up and swept away the worldly smell just now, clasping his fists with the air of a man of the world.

Seeing her smile of satisfaction, Leng Youran clenched his fist and said, "Tell them that if this is done well, you won't have to deal with those men here. Of course, this also depends on your own wishes. Although this place is not like before, but... you know."

"I understand. I believe Yaoyao and the others can also understand your painstaking efforts, Master."

"Well, okay, as long as you understand, we're leaving. Take care of yourself."

"I will, Master."

Li Tianze was still confused until he left Zhoucheng.

Leng Youran saw that he was distracted, so she slowed down her pace and walked alongside him. "Do you want to know why Xiaoxiao and the others chose to follow me?"

"Well, I've never heard you talk about this before. If I remember correctly, we sent them all away before An Liu left, right?"

"You remember correctly, we did send them off, but halfway through, they changed their minds, and then An Liu found me."

"After I learned about their situation, I chose to keep them and planned to take them to live in the North."

“That’s when they realized who we were.”

"Then why didn't they follow back to the North?" Li Tianze was quite confused. The North was definitely better than Zhoucheng!

Leng Youran smiled and shook his head, "Because of Yaoyao and Meimei."

"Oh~ what's the reason?" He knew Meimei and Yaoyao, the women that Madam Zhou had given to Liwu and Liliu before.

He couldn't understand why they would choose to fall into the world of mortals again.

"revenge."

"Revenge?" Li Tianze paused.

Leng Youran nodded slightly, took his arm, and said as they walked, "It's a long story. Meimei was spotted by a brothel owner at the market because of her outstanding appearance. The brothel owner searched everywhere and finally found their village."

"At first, she was planning to get her parents to sell their daughter, but Meimei's family disagreed and even had an argument with her."

"The madam was furious and had her parents burned to death. Even her two-year-old brother was not spared."

"After her house burned down, she was the only one left. She often came to the city to seek the authorities, hoping they would investigate the cause. Every time, the officials made excuses."

"At this time, the madam jumped out and found her like a savior. She persuaded her to follow her and said that she would find a way to redress her parents' grievances in the future."

"Meimei foolishly believed it, but later she discovered that almost every person rescued by the madam was in a similar situation to her, so she became suspicious. Yaoyao had become friends with her at that time, and the two of them did some research, only to discover that the madam had visited almost all of their families, and then their families..."

Li Tianze gritted his teeth.

This group of people really...

"So they entered the Governor's Mansion because they wanted revenge?"

Leng Youran: "Well, they chose to cooperate with Madam Zhou to enter the Governor's Mansion, hoping to use An Liu and the others to avenge their families. However, they have been in the Governor's Mansion for so long, and the others have treated them with respect, but also with a distance. They have no chance of charming An Liu and the others."

When Li Tianze heard her mention Li Wu and Li Liu, he remembered that these two boys had never mentioned Meimei and the others in front of him.

Seeing that he was silent, Leng Youran guessed that he was thinking of Li Wu and the others, and nudged him with her shoulder. "Li Wu and the others don't know either. Xiao Xiao and An Liu contacted each other privately about this matter. I guess Li Wu and the others are still unaware that Xiao Xiao and the others didn't leave, just like you."

"Then why didn't you tell me?" He remembered that they had hardly ever been apart, so how could Leng Youran do so many things secretly without his knowledge?

Leng Youran thought for a moment, "Maybe I didn't have the chance to talk about it at first, and then I forgot about it. To be honest, I had no intention of involving them in our affairs. After all, they have a stable life now. Although they may not be rich, they can make their own decisions. Today, I was also provoked by Mr. Zhou and Butler Zheng, so I thought of them."

"They, I just heard you say to let Xiaoxiao and the other two discuss it with the others. Does that mean that they are not the only three of you in Yihong Courtyard?"

Leng Youran nodded without hiding anything, "Yes, smart. To be precise, everyone in Yihong Courtyard is my people."

"Is it all yours?"

"Yeah, all the thugs inside are like that."

"Where did you find so many people? How come I don't know?"

Leng Youran smiled and said, "Who said you didn't know? Have you forgotten the people in Nanshan Courtyard, and the bandit den I mentioned I raided before?"

"A bandit's den? Aren't those people in the north now?"
