Because Liu Yi was involved in the Headless Case of the Imperial Envoy, he became the scapegoat for Prince Ning. Not only did he cause Consort Xian to fall out of favor in the palace, the worst part was that she was expelled from Anling City by an imperial edict and had no chance of becoming the Emperor.
In the Palace, Yu Shu had seen Consort Xian and received benefits from her. While she was disgusted by Liu Yi, who had once tried to encroach on her, she also felt a bit of pity and pity. But now, seeing his extremely poor face and how he wanted to take someone's life as soon as he opened his mouth, she felt that he deserved to end up like this.
She looked around and saw panic on a few familiar faces. She sighed in her heart.
"You know better than me how people die. It's impossible for me to compensate you with a life. At most, I'll pay for a coffin and ask someone to arrange their funeral. I'm sorry, but I can't do anything more than that."
Yu Shu did not intend to fall out with Liu Yi, but she also would not show her fear. She rejected Liu Yi's excessive request and turned around to say to Lin Fu,
"Go, withdraw two hundred taels of silver from the account and give it to Eleventh Master."
Liu Yi was furious and jumped up from his chair, "Two hundred taels of silver, do you think you are sending a beggar away!"
Yu Shu sneered, "It is enough to buy a good cypress coffin."
Liu Yi did not see her begging for mercy as he expected and was instead ridiculed. He angrily kicked over a nearby chair and pointed at Yu Shu's nose,
"Let me tell you, if you do not take out two hundred thousand taels of silver today, I will sue you thieves for plotting to harm the Tian Family! I will let all of you die! "
Yu Shu frowned. Liu Yi could not stand being tricked and was exposed in just a few words. She knew that he took the risk to make this scene not just to vent his anger, but to get money.
She found it a little strange. Even if Liu Yi's mother's family, the Lu Family, had been hurt because of his Uncle Lu Buhuan's case, the Lu Family was still one of the Twelve Prefectures' aristocratic families. Why would Liu Yi be short of money and need to come to the Wangji Tower to 'extort' money?
Since she couldn't figure it out, she decided to keep it for later. What troubled her now was that two hundred thousand taels of silver was a huge sum of money. Even she didn't have this much money. If she wanted Wangji Tower to compensate her with this huge sum of money, she probably wouldn't be able to come up with it in a short time.
Even if she could, she wouldn't hand over Xue Rui's belongings.
Xue Rui wasn't around. His territory and his people should be protected by her. If she couldn't even do this, why was she worthy of his love?
"200,000?" Yu Shu pointed at the dead person on the ground and mocked Liu Yi, "I didn't ask in detail where this esteemed guest came from. Could it be that he is a relative of the Imperial Family that needs a golden body after his death?"
One of Liu Yi's companions blurted out, "That is our Eleventh Master's little brother. Isn't he a relative of the Imperial Family? A hundred thousand taels of silver is too little for you! Little girl, if you know what's good for you, obediently hand over the money. Don't make us brothers angry. When we deal with you later, hee hee, you won't be able to cry even if you want to. "
This kind of vulgar words entered their ears, causing the faces of everyone on Yu Shu's side to change. What kind of status did Yu Shu have? In the past, even if it was Prince Jing Liu Tan, he would have to politely call her Lianfang Guniang when he came. They didn't know where Liu Yi found this ruffian that dared to say such vulgar words to dirty her ears.
He really deserved to die!
Gui Liu and Gui Qi wanted to rush out to teach this grandson a lesson but were quickly held back by Lin Fu, who secretly shook his head at them.
Yu Shu suddenly heard these words. Even if she had been through hundreds of battles and was immune to poison, as a female, she would still have a weakness. Looking at the little ruffian who was baring his teeth and smiling lewdly, she was so angry that she trembled. Her eyes suddenly became as cold as the snow of the twelfth lunar month.
"Impudent!" Lu Hong and Xu Qing shouted. Seeing that Yu Shu was being humiliated, they were about to step forward to teach her a lesson when they saw Liu Yi suddenly turn around and give that lewd face a big slap.
"Did this ye ask you to speak!"
Everyone was shocked at first but when they heard Liu Yi's next words, a sentence ran out in their hearts — birds of a feather flock together.
"This little girl was first seen by this ye. If you want to let her be happy, this ye has to do it first. Is it your turn?!"
After saying that, he turned his head and stared at Yu Shu, narrowed his eyes and licked his lips. Suddenly, he changed his mind. "If you don't want to pay, fine. As long as you are willing to accompany me tonight, I will not pursue this matter."
Yu Shu lowered her head in silence. Just when everyone thought that she was going to explode, she raised her head expressionlessly and asked him.
"Do you mean what you say?"
Liu Yi sneered. "If I want to deceive you, then let me die without descendants."
"Alright, then let's go." She then said to Lin Fu and the rest. "Don't worry, I will be back soon."
Yu Shu straightened her back and turned around to leave. Liu Yi was stunned for a moment and called out to her. "Hey, where are you going?"
Yu Shu turned around and looked at him coldly. "Didn't you say that I should go with you? Then let's go. No matter where you go, I will accompany you to the end. "
Liu Yi's eyes widened in surprise and joy as he watched Yu Shu disappear. Fearing that she would regret it, he hurriedly chased after her. Lu Hong and Xu Qing looked at each other and gritted their teeth as they followed.
Their companions looked at each other in dismay. After a while, they carried the dead man on their shoulders and ran away in a hurry.
The diners who stayed to watch the show did not expect such an ending. They sighed for a while and then left.
When the place was empty, Gui Liu and Gui Qi could not bear it anymore and shook off Lin Fu's hand. Gui Liu angrily said, "Old Lin, why did you stop us just now? Didn't you see that the girl was coaxed by them? No, I have to chase after her. If something happens to her, how am I going to explain it to the young master? "
"Little Six, Little Six!" Lin Fu hugged him tightly and said with a crying face,
"Do you think I want the girl to go with them? If I were alone, I would have fought with them. But don't you see who it is? It's the eleventh prince! Even if the Emperor doesn't like him, he's still a living ancestor. If he doesn't care about his face, if we do, we'll lose our lives. Young Master isn't here, and the Xue Family is in such a big trouble. Who can protect us? If the Eleventh Prince really insists that we tried to poison him, all the people in the Wangji Building will die! "
"You don't want to live, but what about Little Qing, Little Die, and Gong Erlang and his wife? Little Bai is pregnant. Do they also want to live? The girl, she, she left with them to protect us! "
Gui Liu's body trembled and froze. Little Die and Little Qing directly hugged each other and cried bitterly. The cook Xiuqing had always been strong, but now she secretly wiped her tears and said sadly,
"The young master has only left for half a month, and there are already villains who bully us. If the Xue family really falls one day, what should we do?"
No matter how strong one's fist was, it couldn't be more powerful than wealth. They all had extraordinary backgrounds and unique skills. Just because they were born lowly, without a noble to shelter them, they would be trampled on.
"Don't cry," Lin Fu comforted everyone with red eyes, "The girl is powerful. She won't let anyone take advantage of her. We will wait here for her to come back. I, Old Lin, will say that if something happens to the girl, I will compensate her with my life and avenge her when I become a ghost!"
Lin Fu persuaded the two impulsive waiters. At this time, the restaurant was in a mess, but they didn't have the mood to clean it up. It was already midnight, and no one was hungry. They moved to the bottom of the building, casually vacated a few benches, and sat at the door, looking outside.
At this time, a slender figure suddenly walked in from outside. When he saw the group of people waiting inside, he stopped for a moment. Under the light, a slight smile appeared on his thin face,
"You all know that I am coming back, so you are all waiting here?"
Everyone was in a daze for a moment, and then someone shouted, "Young master!"
Little Qing and Little Die were the first to rush over and kneel at the feet of the person, crying, "Young master, quickly save the girl, the girl has been taken away!"
The person who returned late at night was Xue Rui who rushed back overnight.
The two little girls' words were incoherent, and they cried miserably. Xue Rui was confused, but he felt something was wrong. He turned and asked Lin Fu, "What happened? Who was taken away? Was it Ah Shu? "
Lin Fu also knelt down and said with an ashamed face, "Miss Lianfang left with the Eleventh Prince."
"What?" Xue Rui's voice suddenly became fierce.
Lin Fu didn't dare to hide anything, and he quickly explained what happened, "In the evening, the Eleventh Prince secretly came to the restaurant with some people. One of them died mysteriously, and he blamed it on us. This lowly one couldn't do anything, so he asked someone to invite the girl over to help him. The Eleventh Prince opened his mouth and demanded us to pay two hundred thousand taels of silver. Otherwise, he would report us to the authorities and accuse us of murdering the Emperor. The girl didn't agree, so the Eleventh Prince forced her to leave with him. He said that as long as the girl was willing to spend a night with him, he would let us go."
"They even humiliated the girl and said a lot of dirty things!" Little Die rubbed her eyes and interrupted.
"The girl endured it all, and in the end, she left with them without saying a word. It was all because of us." Gui Liu was ashamed and ashamed.
"Why are you still talking about this? Young Master, quickly take Gui Liu and Gui Qi to chase after them. I think the Eleventh Prince has evil intentions towards the girl. If we're too late, I'm afraid …" The cook Xiuqing looked at Xue Rui's dark eyes and didn't dare to continue.
"Crack." A light sound came from his joints. The veins on Xue Rui's forehead were bulging. He turned around and disappeared in front of everyone like the wind.
The sound of hooves neighing came from the street, making people's throats tighten.
"Young Master, wait, we'll go too!" The two waiters were about to follow, but a figure appeared in front of them and lightly blocked their chests.
"There's no need for you, I'm enough."
Only now did they notice that there was another unfamiliar man that came in with Xue Rui earlier. This person's features were mediocre, and he was around the age of 30. He wasn't tall and seemed to be slightly frail, but the force of his push forcefully caused Gui Liu and Gui Qi, who were both martial artists, to be unable to move, and it seemed as if the person before them wasn't a person but a mountain.
Jin Ke blocked them and didn't say much before leaving.
