With things having come to this point, Xie Jinbo's fate was sealed. Bound to the pillar, he had nowhere to escape. Wang Er raised his knife and brought it down. With another piercing scream, Xie Jinbo's other leg was finally cut off.

Having lost both legs in succession, Xie Jinbo could no longer bear it, both physically and mentally, and fainted with his eyes rolled back.

Upon hearing his subordinates' report, Chen Yanjin was surprised to find that the Xie family was indeed ruthless. Although they hadn't managed to collect the five thousand taels of silver gambling debt, today's events were part of a scheme orchestrated by Miss Rouge, and they had already obtained the Xie family's land deed. So, they had still made a profit.

However, the only thing that puzzled Chen Yanjin was that Rouge was just a girl from a brothel, so how could she be so sure that Xie Jinbo would gamble with the land deed?

However, this deal was entirely beneficial to Chen Yanjin, so he was too lazy to investigate who was behind the rouge.

"That piece of trash is worthless now."

After counting the stack of land deeds beside him, Chen Yanjin said, "Just dump him at the Xie family's doorstep and let them collect his body."

Xie Jinbo, who had lost both legs, was ruthlessly thrown onto the ground in front of the Xie family mansion by the staff of Wansheng Casino. The onlookers outside sighed at his shocking condition, but seeing that the Xie family members themselves didn't care about him, no one stepped forward to help him.

Meanwhile, at the side gate of the Xie family, Rouge, who had been at the casino, secretly slipped in. Xiao Liu was already waiting at the door to meet her. The two of them went to Jiang Yuyue's courtyard together. As soon as they entered, Rouge knelt down and bowed deeply to Jiang Yuyue.

"Thank you, Madam, for helping me avenge Yunniang!"

Rouge's eyes were filled with tears. "If it weren't for Madam's help, I'm afraid I would never have been able to witness that beast fall into such a state on my own!"

In response to Rouge's gratitude, Jiang Yuyue immediately stepped forward to help her up. "There's no need for thanks, Miss. It's just mutual help. You've been enduring so much hardship by his side these past few days. Now that you've succeeded, you can retire gracefully."

After saying this, Jiang Yuyue handed a silver note to Yanzhi. "I have already redeemed you from Lanxiang Courtyard. You don't need to go back anymore. Please accept this two hundred taels of silver. Go somewhere else and start a new life. Otherwise, if the Xie family investigates, you may not escape death."

Faced with Jiang Yuyue's thoughtful consideration, Rouge's nose tingled again. "I originally thought that after this matter was over, I would find a river and jump in to join Yunniang. I never expected that Madam would prepare so much for my lowly life. What virtue or ability do I have to deserve this...!"

Seeing that Yan Zhi was crying uncontrollably again, Jiang Yuyue patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Alright, it's getting late. Now that you've fulfilled your wish, let's pretend this never happened. Before things get out of hand, hurry up and leave the city."

"Yes."

Rouge wiped away her tears, said nothing more, knelt down and bowed deeply to Jiang Yuyue, then turned and left.

Watching Rouge's retreating figure, Xiao Liu couldn't help but sigh, "Those two sisters have really suffered. But Xie Jinbo brought this upon himself!"

A satisfied smile appeared on Jiang Yuyue's lips. The incident of Xie Jinbo having his legs cut off today was a series of interconnected events, requiring perfect timing, location, and people. Unfortunately, Xie Jinbo had committed too many sins, which ultimately gave her an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Ever since Xie Jinbo followed her, Jiang Yuyue had been ordering people to investigate his movements. And the investigation uncovered some shocking information: after becoming impotent, Xie Jinbo had developed a twisted mentality and a penchant for abusing women.

He often went to Lanxiang Courtyard to bully a woman named Yunniang. The methods he used were so perverse and indescribable. Although Yunniang had entered the brothel, she was forced into it. No one is born with a lowly fate. How could she endure the torment of this beast? One day, Yunniang could not bear the humiliation any longer and hanged herself. Xie Jinbo, on the other hand, completely absolved himself of any responsibility.

The girl named Rouge was Yunniang's older sister. Seeing her younger sister being forced to commit suicide, Rouge begged Zhao Mama of Lanxiang Courtyard to intervene. However, Yunniang was not the top courtesan, and there were many girls in the brothel who attempted suicide, so Zhao Mama did not take it seriously. Rouge had nowhere to turn for help, and was eventually approached by Jiang Yuyue.

After discussing it, the two hit it off and devised the current plan, leading Xie Jinbo step by step into the trap, resulting in such a satisfying end.

"Are the Xie family still not awake?"

Since things had come to this point, she casually asked a question.

Xiao Liu immediately replied, "Don't worry, Miss. Yesterday, I put a full dose of calming medicine in the food. Last night, when the people from Wansheng Casino came to knock on the door, the entire Xie family slept like logs and no one heard a sound."

"That's good."

Thinking that Xie Jinbo's life was probably not going to be saved, Jiang Yuyue was in a good mood. Seeing that it was still early, she decided to go back to sleep, since there would be a lot of trouble once the Xie family woke up.

It was unclear how much time had passed when the servant on duty finally woke up from the ground. Looking at the sun high in the sky, he was surprised to realize that he had slept for so long and hurriedly got up.

But as soon as he opened the gate, he saw a blood-soaked person on the ground.

The gate was already crowded with onlookers. Seeing that someone from the Xie family had finally come out, a kind-hearted aunt hurriedly called out to him, "Why don't you hurry up and take your second young master back? He's been lying outside for so long, who knows if he'll even survive!"

Second Young Master?!

The servant was startled and quickly ran over. When he realized that the man was indeed Xie Jinbo, he turned pale with fright. More importantly, the second young master had lost both of his legs!

"Come here! Come!"

The servant rushed into the mansion like his life depended on it, shouting, "The second young master is in trouble! The second young master is in trouble!"

Such a cry of alarm slowly woke up the entire Xie family. After the Xie family servants woke up, they hurriedly carried the dying Xie Jinbo in and then rushed to notify the various courtyards.

Madam Xie ate heartily yesterday and slept soundly all night. She was only awakened by Granny Sun's somewhat hurried voice when she slowly opened her eyes.

"Madam, something terrible has happened! The second young master's leg has been chopped off, and he's about to die!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Xie was instantly wide awake. With the help of Granny Sun, she hurriedly dressed and, leaning on her cane, shakily made her way to the second house's courtyard.

Before even entering the door, they heard Madam Xie's heart-wrenching cries.

"My son! My son! You must hold on, the doctor is coming soon! You must not let your mother, an old woman, bury her son!"
