As the maid approached Liu Shi, she anxiously whispered a few words to the old nanny. The old nanny was shocked and her face was filled with fear. She hurriedly whispered to Liu Shi, "Sixth Miss, something has happened in Seventh Miss's courtyard. A drunkard broke into the back courtyard of Yimei Courtyard and tried to take liberties with the two young ladies."

Madam Liu felt as if the sky were falling. If the Sixth and Seventh Misses were truly defiled, then the entire Sheng family's daughters would face marriage problems in the future. What family would dare to accept any of their daughters? In the Great Sheng Dynasty, powerful families consolidated their power through marriage alliances and clan alliances. If the Sixth and Seventh Misses were indeed defiled, the Sheng family would lose far more than just two daughters…

As expected of someone who had weathered many storms, Madam Liu regained her composure after a moment's thought. The slight shock on her face disappeared, replaced by a gentle smile as she stood up. The marks of time had etched themselves on Madam Liu's slightly wrinkled face, but thanks to her excellent maintenance, she exuded an air of elegance, grace, kindness, and dignity.

With a smile on her face, Liu took the old nanny's hand and slowly walked forward a few steps before speaking: "Everyone, the front house is hosting a banquet, and this old woman is really worried about it. I want to go to the front yard to see Yin Feng's wife and Aunt Feng. Please take good care of the guests for me."

Yin Feng's wife and Aunt Feng immediately bowed obediently and said, "Yes, Mother."

With a smile, Madam Liu said, "Everyone, let's continue!" After saying that, she walked out of Anle Residence. As soon as she left Anle Residence, Madam Liu quickened her pace, boarded the palanquin that had just arrived, and the group hurriedly headed towards Yimei Courtyard.

The old nanny standing nearby hurriedly reported, "Grandmother, as soon as I received the news, I found several strong maids and servants. Those people are already heading to Yimei Courtyard and will surely catch the villains."

Madam Liu nodded, her expression shifting from calm to anxious: "Hurry up, make the palanquin go faster."

Then, Madam Liu instructed the servants around her, "What happened today must never be spread. If this matter escalates, the Sixth and Seventh Misses will have no choice but to prove their innocence and chastity with their deaths. The Sheng family will also lose all face in the Great Sheng Dynasty. So if this matter is to spread beyond the Sheng family, all of you who know about it should atone with your lives!"

The servants following behind tensed up, their fear evident in their eyes. Hearing Liu's words, they said nothing more, but the palanquin sped up. Although the maids and servants following behind were all bound by their three-inch golden lotuses, they disregarded their own suffering and endured the pain of their bound lotuses as they hurried towards Yimei Courtyard.

After Liu left, Aunt Feng and Yin Zifeng exchanged a knowing smile, their understanding unspoken. Then, Aunt Feng and Yin Zifeng began chatting and laughing with the others.

Inside the Yimei Courtyard, Yin Zijing heard Yin Ziniao's anxious cries outside. The cries, filled with fear and dread, were quite jarring. Yin Zijing grabbed a pair of scissors from the side and rushed out of her boudoir, Bihexuan, running downstairs.

In the small garden downstairs, several maids and servants, already stabbed, sat on the ground, their dark skin churning in pain.

At this moment, the lecherous man had already taken off his shirt, revealing his dark, thin upper body, his face covered in stubble, and he chased after Yin Ziyao with a wicked grin, disgustingly teasing her: "Little lady, come here quickly, let me have some fun. If I can taste the flavor of a lady from a respectable family before I die, I'll be content even as a ghost."

As they were talking, the lecherous man caught up and picked up the struggling Yin Zixiao. Yin Zixiao cried out in terror, "Help! Zijing, save me!"

Yin Zijing rushed out immediately. Just as the lecher was about to tear off Yin Ziniao's clothes, Yin Zijing arrived in time, picked up the scissors in her hand, and stabbed the lecher's hand when he was not paying attention. The lecher cried out in pain and loosened his grip. Yin Zijing took the opportunity to pull Yin Ziniao away and run away into the distance.

Seeing that Yin Zixiao's clothes were intact, only her hair was disheveled, Yin Zijing felt relieved. If her clothes had been torn, Yin Zixiao would have a hard time in the future. If she had really lost her virginity, she might have lost her life and died young! Yin Zijing hurriedly pushed Yin Zixiao onto the injured maid not far away and quickly instructed, "Quickly, quickly take the Seventh Miss into the house. Don't let her come out, and close the door tightly."

Then, Yin Zijing smiled sweetly at the thugs behind her and said, "I am the Sixth Miss. You must be looking for me!"

The thug stared, completely mesmerized, at Yin Zijing, who was even prettier than the girl from before. His attention was completely drawn to her, and he chased after her, saying, "Little beauty, come here and let me have some fun with you~"

Yin Zijing brandished the scissors, while Zhang Peng occasionally flicked a small pebble with his hand. The two fought like this for a while. Yin Zijing glanced around and saw that the reinforcements had arrived. Yin Zijing's eyes turned, and she hardened her heart. With the help of the thug, she stabbed the scissors into her own chest. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she swallowed a pill to make the injury look more serious.

Immediately, Yin Zijing spat out a mouthful of blood, splattering it on the assailant's clothes and face, startling him. Seeing the situation was dire, the assailant quickly released Yin Zijing, staring blankly at her lying on the ground.

Taking advantage of the thugs' inattention, the strong old women worked together to throw out a large net, which subdued the thugs.

Several maids rushed to Yin Zijing's side, helped her up, and anxiously asked, "Sixth Miss, how are you?"

At that moment, Yin Zijin also ran out of the room, squatted down in front of Yin Zijin, and cried incoherently, "Zijin, it's my fault. If you hadn't tried to save me, you wouldn't have been killed by those bad guys..."

Yin Zijing said weakly, "Stop talking, quickly go and fetch a doctor. If you keep talking, I'll die..."

In a panic, Yin Zixiao called out to an old nanny, "Go, go to the front yard and invite Uncle Yin San over. Remember to do it quietly and don't disturb anyone."

Upon receiving the order, the old nanny quickly responded, "Yes! Yes! Seventh Miss, this old servant will go right away." With that, she rushed out.

At that moment, Madam Liu rushed over in a panic. As soon as she entered the back courtyard of Yimei Courtyard, she heard Yin Zijin crying and saying in a flustered voice, "Zijin, how are you? You've lost so much blood! Hold on, don't die!"

Madam Liu hurriedly came to Yin Zijin and asked, "What happened?"

The injured old woman replied, "Grandmother, this scoundrel tried to take liberties with the Seventh Miss. The Sixth Miss was stabbed by this lecherous man while trying to save the Seventh Miss."

"Have you summoned the doctor?"

"Greetings, Ancestor."

"Guards, carry the Sixth Miss back to her room, and take this villain to the secret room. The Yan family will keep watch over him..."
