When Ye Wanning saw the injury on Yunzhi's forehead, she immediately clenched her fist.

"They said someone tried to take advantage of Miss Yunzhi, but she refused, which led to this situation." The waiter didn't dare to look at Ye Wanning. "The doctor has already examined her. She's fine, but she'll have a scar that will affect her appearance."

Ye Wanning couldn't imagine what kind of humiliation Yunzhi had suffered, that someone would be so audacious, and this wasn't an isolated incident. "Can I kill them?"

"We will do whatever Madam orders," the shopkeeper replied.

Ye Wanning nodded. "Then I want their heads."

After saying this, Ye Wanning told everyone else to leave, and she would take care of Yunzhi herself.

Yunzhi's brows were furrowed in her sleep, as if she had been greatly frightened and could not even sleep peacefully.

Ye Wanning stayed by Yunzhi's side until it got dark. Yunzhi suddenly woke up and her first reaction upon seeing Ye Wanning was fear. "Don't touch me!"

“It’s me, Yunzhi, look closely, it’s me,” Ye Wanning hugged Yunzhi. “Don’t be afraid, I’ve saved you, it’s alright now. Nothing will happen to you anymore, they can’t bully you anymore.”

Yunzhi stood there stunned for a long time, and only after realizing it wasn't a dream did she burst into tears, "Waaah... I..."

She was so upset she couldn't speak. She cried for a long time until she dry heaved, and then she thought about whether Le Ge'er was alright.

"He's alright, don't worry, he's fine. Yunzhi, don't be afraid, we'll be alright now." Ye Wanning hugged Yunzhi, her heart breaking.

Yunzhi leaned on her master's shoulder, silently shedding tears. She struggled desperately, but it was all in vain. Faced with such a disparity in strength, Yunzhi was no match for the two men.

She felt deeply apologetic to her master, but there was nothing she could do but end her own life.

Yunzhi never dreamed that she would see her master again.

"Waaah, it's all my fault. I didn't take good care of Le-ge'er." Yunzhi sobbed softly. "I thought I would never see you again."

The moment Yunzhi opened her eyes, she thought she was dreaming, until her master hugged her.

Ye Wanning also shed tears, "Don't be afraid, everything will be alright. Don't worry."

With Ye Wanning's repeated reassurances, Yunzhi gradually stopped sobbing.

"But Madam, why did you ask them to release me?" Yunzhi asked.

Ye Wanning then told me about the jade pendant, “The situation is urgent, and I can’t worry about anything else. We’ll leave tomorrow. The shopkeeper will send someone to escort us away from this place to a new place. Don’t blame yourself or think too much. It’s not your fault. It’s the county magistrate here who is a scoundrel and colludes with those human traffickers.”

After comforting Yunzhi for a long time and waiting for her to fall asleep again, Ye Wanning went to see Le Ge'er.

In fact, Le Ge'er was also frightened. Fortunately, the slave trader did not hurt Le Ge'er too badly in order to get a good price. He just had three people watching over Le Ge'er.

Looking at her sleeping son, Ye Wanning had a feeling that a storm was brewing.

Chunxi brought over some hot porridge. "Madam, please eat something. Sister Yunzhi has already woken up. If you collapse, we'll be without a pillar of support."

Ye Wanning nodded, and although she had no taste in her mouth, she still finished the bowl of hot porridge.

At the same time, Li Ermao suddenly thought of something: he would only kidnap unfamiliar faces from out of town, which would reduce the trouble.

But how could the person kidnapped this time be related to Yunfeng Money House? He called over the two men who did it, "Did you think you could just fool them and kidnapped them without looking carefully?"

"No, brother, we've been observing them for a long time. After they checked into the inn, they didn't go looking for anyone. These unfamiliar faces are obviously from out of town. How could we be wrong?"

"That's really strange. How could a widow get Yunfeng Money House to intervene?" Li Ermao felt something was off, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't figure it out. So he simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, he got two thousand taels of silver, and Yunfeng Money House wouldn't dare to do anything to him.

Li Ermao gave each of his two underlings five taels of silver and led them out, saying, "Come on, I'll treat you to some wine and women today."
