"Ah Li, look!"

Hearing He Miaomiao's exclamation, Song Zhili looked over at He Miaomiao and saw her pointing at the woman on the ground with a surprised expression.

Song Zhili turned her head and looked at the woman on the ground. Just then, the woman raised her head slightly, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something to Song Zhili, but before she could speak, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Even so, Song Zhili still recognized her; this woman was none other than Ma Xiaolian, who had brought them to the county town earlier.

When Ma Xiaolian saw Song Zhili looking at her, she released her grip on Song Zhili's foot and silently said to her, "Save me."

Song Zhili and He Miaomiao exchanged a glance, then hurriedly stepped forward to help Ma Xiaolian up from the ground.

Just then, several servants carrying sticks ran towards them from not far away.

As they ran, they shouted, "Miss, please stop running! Come back with us, or Madam will blame us!"

When Song Zhili saw Ma Xiaolian hear the voices behind her, her body trembled involuntarily. Then, Ma Xiaolian stretched out her bloody hand and grabbed Song Zhili's clothes tightly.

He shook his head with all his might.

Seeing her like this, Song Zhili squatted down and took Ma Xiaolian's hand. "Miss Ma, can you get up? Let me help you up first."

When He Miaomiao saw Song Zhili helping Ma Xiaolian up, she went forward to help as well.

Meanwhile, the onlookers, seeing the servants approaching with wooden sticks, surrounded them.

They unconsciously made way for the servants to enter.

The servants, who were leading the way and carrying sticks, stepped forward and saw Song Zhili and He Miaomiao helping Ma Xiaolian up from the ground.

He waved to the people behind him, "Come here and take the young lady back, and get her a doctor."

After saying that, he turned to look at Song Zhili and He Miaomiao, "Ladies, this is a young lady from our household. Please don't meddle in other people's business."

Song Zhili and He Miaomiao didn't believe what the servant said at all. They had come to this county town with the people who had captured Ma Xiaolian and her group.

If they wanted to know what was going on, they would never let Ma Xiaolian go back with these servants.

Thinking of this, Song Zhili was about to stand up, but just as she stood up, Ma Xiaolian grabbed her clothes tightly and shook her head desperately.

Ma Xiaolian thought that Song Zhili was going to abandon her when she stood up. This was her last lifeline, and she didn't want to go back with that group and suffer any more torment.

Song Zhili seemed to see through her thoughts. She reached out and gently patted Ma Xiaolian's hand. "Don't worry, we won't abandon you."

Song Zhili's words were like a reassurance to Ma Xiaolian, and she released her grip on Song Zhili's clothes.

"Whose household are you servants from? How dare you speak such nonsense? She is my sister, not some young lady from your household!"

The leader of the servants' expressions changed instantly upon hearing Song Zhili's words.

His gaze lingered on Song Zhili's face. Could it really be such a coincidence that she had run into her sister here?

No matter what, we can't let her escape. Since this girl in front of us claims to be her sister, whether it's true or not, we might as well take her with us.

Thinking this, his eyes became much fiercer. He raised his head and looked at Song Zhili. "Miss, you're talking nonsense. This is clearly our young lady. She doesn't have a sister at all."

What are your true intentions? Why do you claim she's your sister? Guards, take them both back for thorough interrogation.

As soon as the lead servant finished speaking, several of his underlings, armed with wooden sticks, surrounded Song Zhili and her two companions.

Song Zhili watched as the servants unreasonably surrounded her, while the onlookers remained silent, each one watching with amusement.

She thought for a moment, then took out a packet of powder from her spatial storage and held it in her hand, planning to throw the powder at them if they rushed at her.

The servants pressed closer, and just as Song Zhili was about to scatter the powder in her hand, two people flew through the air and kicked all the servants surrounding them away.

After all the servants had flown away, Song Zhili saw Qing Shuang and Zhui Xiaoliu standing in front of them.

“Miss Ali, you take her and Miaomiao back first. Qingshuang and I will handle the aftermath here.”

Song Zhili nodded, and together with He Miaomiao, they helped Ma Xiaolian up from the ground and walked towards the inn where they were staying.

When the leading servant saw that his men had been beaten to the ground by Cui Xiaoliu and Qing Shuang, he glared at Cui Xiaoliu and warned him.

"We are servants of the magistrate's household. How dare you attack us in public! You have ruined the magistrate's good deed. You just wait, I'm going to tell the magistrate right now."

After the servant finished speaking, he turned and was about to run towards the county government office. How could Cui Xiaoliu let him get away like that?

He leaped forward and kicked the servant to the ground, catching the servant completely off guard.

Then Cui Xiaoliu stepped on the servant's stomach, his narrow eyes narrowing. "You dared to threaten me just now? You're asking for death."

Cui Xiaoliu took out a short blade from his sleeve and stabbed it into the servant's chest.

The servant twitched a few times and then fell silent.

Meanwhile, Qing Shuang also knocked the other servants to the ground.

Seeing that Cui Xiaoliu had killed the leader of the servants in the street, she showed no mercy and slit the throats of the remaining servants one by one.

While she was distracted, one of the younger servants ran towards the county government office while she was slitting her throat.

Actually, Cui Xiaoliu saw the young servant run away, but he didn't chase after him; he deliberately let him go.

Those who had been watching earlier were too frightened to continue watching when they saw Cui Xiaoliu and Qing Shuang actually commit murder in the street, and they all dispersed.

Meanwhile, Song Zhili and He Miaomiao helped Ma Xiaolian into the inn. Ma Xiaolian had already fainted on the way.

When the two helped Ma Xiaolian into Song Zhili's room, He Miaomiao closed the door and bolted it.

Then Song Zhili quickly led the two of them into the space, teleported Ma Xiaolian to the hospital bed, and then cut all of her clothes into pieces and threw them away.

When Song Zhili and He Miaomiao saw the numerous bruises and welts all over Ma Xiaolian's body, they couldn't help but gasp.

"My God, what has she been through these past few days? She has so many injuries!"
