"Will you tell me or not?" Xu Yang swung his sword, pretending to chop it down again.

The woman at the side was terrified and kowtowed to the ground, sobbing, "Please spare my life, sir. I am from the Shen family of the Dali Temple. Madam assigned me to the eldest daughter's courtyard, responsible for cleaning. He is the gardener in the flower shed in the outer courtyard. We are in love with each other. Today, when no one is in the mansion, I went to the flower shed to seek out him for sex. But as soon as I entered the harbor, I was caught by Madam's people..."

Xiao Chenze coughed twice and warned: "Watch your words, you are talking about conspiracy."

What do you mean by entering the port or not? Is this something a girl can hear?

The image of Shen Li lying beside his legs, helping him...

Don’t think about it, absolutely don’t think about it.

"Yes, that's right, my dear. Madam's people arrested us and asked us to do something..."

She paused.

I don’t know what to say next.

Xu Yang raised his sword, frightening her so much that she kowtowed quickly. "Mammy asked us to go to the Marquis' Mansion to have sex, and also said... she also said that when the time comes, she will send the eldest girl to our bed, light up the joyful incense, and let her accompany him. This..."

It was so vicious and shameless that even she found it difficult to speak of it.

Shen Li felt nauseous and almost vomited.

Xiao Chenze looked at her calmly.

Xu Yang asked the woman curiously, "Why don't they just let the man sleep with the older girl? Why do they have to bring you along?"

The woman's face was pale, and she lowered her head and said, "Mammy said that when it's about the time, someone will come and arrest us. Then we'll have to say that we were forced by the eldest lady and were only there to have fun with her. We'll have to say that we've had fun with her many times. Mammy said that this will not only clear us of our affair, but also help Madam relieve her hatred. We dare not refuse. Our parents and family are all in the mansion. If we offend Madam, none of us will survive. Wuwuwu..."

"Mammy also said that with only one man here, if the eldest lady insists that she was murdered, she might not be able to explain herself. After all, the eldest lady's mother had a similar incident in the past, and Master Shen personally cleared her of the charges. Mammy is worried that someone will come forward to clear the eldest lady again this time, so, they will threaten the lives of my family and make me say that it was the eldest lady who forced the two of us to submit."

Xu Yang really couldn't stand it anymore. The secrets of the backyard were so dirty that it was outrageous to use them to deal with a teenage girl.

"Aren't you two worried that you'll be silenced after this incident?"

The expression on the woman's face was indescribably gloomy. The man also raised his head at this time, took a look at the people in front of him, and then lowered his head in fear.

"Mammy said she would let us go and tell us to hide in the farm for a few years and then come back. She said we were forced to do this and that others would only feel pity for us and would never say anything unpleasant."

"She said she'd let you two go?" Xu Yang didn't know whether to laugh at their stupidity. "Okay, even if she keeps her word, even if Nanny has the final say. But, you've schemed against the general's niece. Do you think the general will let you go? Or if the general comes to the Shen family and wants to kill you, will Master Shen protect you?"

The man raised his head again, covering his severed fingers, the life in his eyes long gone.

"We have all thought about it. If we don't agree to Madam's request now, she will sell us all out or beat us to death immediately. But if we agree, there is still a glimmer of hope. Even if we die in the end, our families will not be implicated, so..."

"So, for your own sake, you agreed to do such a heartless thing?" Xiao Chenze couldn't stand it any longer. If the two in front of him were not small fry, he would have chopped off their heads with a sword.

"Take them away and hand them over to..."

"Wait," Shen Li had been silent until now, with many thoughts quickly running through her mind. When she heard Xiao Chenze was about to take the two away, she quickly spoke out to stop him, "Leave these two to me, I can use them."

A man and a woman heard her voice and looked up in fear.

The voice was so recognizable that even though she was wearing a mask, the two of them knew who she was at once.

The horror suddenly reached its peak.

They had all witnessed the young lady beating people. If the nanny had not promised that the medicine would loosen the young lady's muscles and bones and make her unable to exert any strength, they would not have dared to confront her face to face even if they were beaten to death.

They never expected that the person they were plotting against was right in front of them, not only knowing their plan perfectly, but also wanting to keep them both...

What was she going to do with the two of them?

Shen Li used a lot of effort to suppress the anger in her heart.

You are so good, Zhao!

It was she who suggested that Shen Zhaojiang drug and slander her mother. Unexpectedly, ten years later, she would use the same trick again, and even come up with an even more vicious idea than before, and use it on herself.

It is not the gentleman's style to not seek revenge, and it is certainly not Shen Li's style.

She wanted to keep these two people and give them a taste of their own medicine.

......

A secret guard landed outside silently.

Xu Yang went out and whispered for a while, then came back in and whispered something in Xiao Chenze's ear.

Xiao Chenze's expression was a little strange, and he raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Yang.

Xu Yang nodded solemnly to indicate that he was not wrong.

Shen Li was confused and was about to ask when Xiao Chenze stood up, picked her up and left.

"Hey you, what are you doing?"

"Shh, don't talk, there's something new."

Xu Yang had knocked the two men unconscious and ordered the secret guards to drag them away.

Xiao Chenze hugged Shen Li and jumped onto the tree.

The foliage was so dense that you couldn't see anything from underneath.

In the distance, someone was walking towards us, talking and laughing.

"The Marquis' Mansion is really good at livening up the atmosphere. They even have hidden treasures? The yard is so big, where are the children going to find it?"

This voice?

Shen Li quickly filtered it in her mind. It was unfamiliar, very unfamiliar.

It should be someone I have never met or talked to.

The man and woman just now said that when the time comes, someone will come to catch them cheating.

Shen Li thought that the person who came must be an acquaintance, otherwise why would she pretend to be surprised when she recognized her?

Now it seems that even people she doesn't know are cooperating with Zhao to plot against her. Zhao really has a lot of helpers.

Several ladies in luxurious attire, surrounded a man with a pointed chin and a slim face, and slowly walked over.

It was obvious that Shoe Horn was of high status. Everyone smiled at her attentively and spoke softly. When they walked under the tree, Shoe Horn suddenly cried out in pain and sprained her ankle.

There was a stone bench next to the house, and everyone quickly sat down, holding on to their shoe horns.

Someone hurriedly ordered the maid to call the imperial physician, while others gathered around the shoe horn, asking about his health.

Shoe Horn looked through the crowd at the house with closed doors and windows, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

It must have been too quiet, a little beyond her expectations.

Now that I'm here, I have to take a look no matter how wrong it is.

So, Shoe Horn stretched out his hand and pointed at the room: "Where is this? Why does it smell like fireworks? Is there a fire in there?"

"what?"

The ladies retreated in panic. One of the braver ones ordered her maid, "Take someone over to check it out. Quickly. It's so hot, if there's a fire, it's no joke."

The maid didn't dare to disobey, so she quickly pulled the two maids beside her forward and pushed the door open.

The door creaked open.

There was no one inside and it looked very simple. There was a cool mat on the bed and a faint fragrance that was hard to describe lingered around.

"Madam, it's very clean inside. I've checked with my servants and there's no open flame."

The ladies finally felt relieved and gathered around the shoe horn again, chatting and laughing.

Shoe Horn's face looked very unhappy.

This is clearly the place, why is there no one here?

She had been to the Marquis' Mansion to attend banquets several times and was quite familiar with the backyard of the Mansion, so it was impossible for her to remember the wrong place.

Could it be that they changed locations and didn't have time to inform me?
