May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

She seemed relieved.

Although it wasn't obvious, it still caught the leader's eye.

Seeing this, the leader also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Wen Yuanshu wants to live, that's all that matters.

If she wants to live, they can subdue her!

With a wave of his hand, the leader, Young Master Shen, lifted Wen Qinglan down from the railing and half-supported, half-pushed her forward, but did not let go, clearly waiting for Wen Yuanshu to pass by on her own.

Wen Yuanshu gave Chunhua a look to reassure her, and then went over there herself.

Young Master Shen gently pushed Wen Qinglan, then pulled Wen Yuanshu over and escorted her back.

"Miss!" Chunhua's eyes reddened with anxiety.

After Wen Yuanshu walked over, the leader, wanting to retaliate against her for threatening him, grabbed her by the neck, lifted her up, and placed her on the railing.

Wen Yuanshu's face turned deathly pale, and she instinctively grabbed the edge of the railing.

Everyone burst into laughter.

"You were putting on such a convincing act just now, I thought you were really fearless!"

The leader snorted coldly before letting go.

A series of soft coughs came from behind, but the leader paid no attention, simply saying, "Alright, send a message to the Wen family!"

"Just say that their daughter is in our hands. Whether she goes back alive or dies in a less-than-dignified manner depends on the sincerity of their general's mansion!"

"Yes!"

However, as soon as the messenger opened the door to the terrace, he suddenly heard the sound of swords clashing.

The messenger peered down and then cried out as if he'd seen a ghost: "The Embroidered Uniform Guard! It's the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

"what?!"

Everyone was shocked.

Wen Yuanshu lowered her gaze slightly.

Is it Lu Chengyuan?

The leader seemed to have sensed something, turned to look at Wen Yuanshu, and grabbed her by the neck: "I heard you have some connections with Commander Lu of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

Wen Yuanshu smiled slightly: "We do have a very good relationship."

The leader narrowed his eyes: "Is your relationship enough for us to leave here?"

"Hmm? Why do you want to leave again?"

The leader didn't have time to waste words with Wen Yuanshu, and tightened his grip on her neck even more: "Answer me!"

Their target was the General of the Cavalry's residence.

Going against the Embroidered Uniform Guard would only result in unnecessary casualties.

The leader had no sense of chivalry; his grip tightened slowly. Wen Yuanshu coughed twice, her voice even more mocking: "You're the one who's not thinking straight; you've forgotten what your great-aunt's last name is."

Her last name is Wen.

The Wen family has no members who are afraid of death!

As for these people, none of them will escape!

The next moment, Wen Yuanshu pulled out the hairpin from her hair and stabbed it hard into his wrist.

The leader winced in pain and instinctively withdrew his hand.

"Damn!"

Did you think you could escape just because your lover showed up?!

dream!

Just as he was about to pounce again and cut off Wen Yuanshu's escape route, Wen Yuanshu leaned straight back.

Winter clothes are thick and heavy, but in this biting cold wind, they still look light and airy.

The next moment, the woman fell into the turbulent river and was swallowed up in the blink of an eye.

Lu Chengyuan arrived a step too late and only saw a person leaning backward off the railing.

A heart-wrenching voice pierced his ears, crashing heavily into his heart: "Girl—!"

When those people saw Wen Yuanshu jump into the river, they knew that they were now doomed.

However, for the Embroidered Uniform Guards, their fighting strength was simply not enough. Lu Chengyuan didn't even need to rush up himself. He just raised his hand and pointed, and the Embroidered Uniform Guards took them all down, dislocated their jaws, and broke their arms and legs, leaving them with no power to struggle.

The leader was even more skilled; he shouted and lunged forward.

A flash of light appeared on his wrist, catching Lu Chengyuan's attention.

A familiar-looking woman's hairpin was stuck in his hand.

Lu Chengyuan stepped aside, dodging the knife. He then retrieved the hairpin with one hand and swung the knife with the other, causing the leader to be decapitated, his head rolling far away.

Lu Chengyuan took a few more steps forward, picked up Chunhua who was climbing up the railing, and casually tossed her to Qi Rong.
