Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

"Mmm, and then..."

Then Granny Wang was about to report to the authorities when she was stopped by the young lady.

She wouldn't let Granny Wang go, but Granny Wang refused and threatened to report it to the authorities.

result………

Peach Sister, you weren't there, you didn't see it, it was terrifying!

The young lady...

She's so ruthless!

Dongkui continued speaking intermittently.

"Sister Dongkui..."

Tell me slowly, what happened to Granny Wang?

Did you report it to the authorities?

Or has Li Nanyu done something shocking again?

Tao'er already had her own guesses.

"Wang Mama, she..."

she is dead...

They died a horrible death.

"Ah... really dead?"

How did he die?

It is estimated that Li Nanyu killed him.

"quilt……

He was hit on the head by the young lady with a large vase and died!

Waaaaah………

Miss, she's terrifying!

Granny Wang usually treated her like her own daughter…

"Silly sister, don't cry. Granny Wang is going to report this to the authorities, and Li Nanyu will definitely not let her go."

You should know that she had essentially killed her own mother. If this were reported to the authorities, Li Nanyu's life would be ruined.

How could someone as selfish, ruthless, and cruel as her possibly let Granny Wang go?

And then...

Why did you faint?

Tao'er continued to ask.

Dongkui gave a bitter smile. "The young lady said I saw these things and I must die!"

She pulled out a dagger, and I was so scared I didn't even have time to dodge...

"Just when I thought I was really going to die, the door was suddenly kicked open and a masked man in black rushed in."

He moved with terrifying speed; I only saw a flash of cold light before the young lady collapsed, her neck...

His neck was covered in blood...

It was incredibly fast, like lightning, a single strike to the throat.

Then I passed out...

And then, the first thing I saw when I woke up was you.

Sister Tao'er, I really never imagined that she would even try to kill me...

Dongkui closed her eyes, as if trying to dispel the terrifying image.

After Dongkui finished speaking, tears welled up again: "Sister Tao'er, what exactly happened?"

I have no idea who that man in black is.

Why he killed the young lady, I don't know...

The eldest son of the Li family is dead, the master and mistress are dead, the eldest daughter is dead, and even Granny Wang is dead.

If it weren't for the man in black, I would definitely be dead too...

Everything that happened tonight was like a nightmare!

Tao'er fell silent.

She didn't know how to explain it all.

Should we tell Dongkui that all of this might have stemmed from her seeking help from the Seven Kill Pavilion?

But that wasn't her intention at all.

"Tao'er, you might have been rescued by the men in black."

"I suspect that the murders of Master Li and Li Nanyu were either enemies or competitors in the Li family's business world," Tao'er explained softly.

Dongkui wiped away her tears and tried hard to recall: "When I was taken away by the man in black, although I was dazed, I vaguely heard someone in the mansion shouting that there was a fire..."

But I can't be sure; I was so scared I fainted, and I only have a vague memory of it.

"Little Peach, do you think the Li family was really... wiped out?"

Peach could not answer.

She recalled the cold words on the letter from the Seven Kill Pavilion: "The Li family has been destroyed."

It's likely that someone burned down a room to cover up the crime.

"Dongkui, don't think too much about it."

The important thing now is that you are safe.

"Your indenture is here; you are free."

Tao'er smiled and comforted her.

Looking at the contract of servitude in her hand, Dongkui's eyes blurred with tears once again.

She's no longer considered a lowly person; this piece of paper is in her hands, and she's free.

She then tore the indenture to shreds.

"Little Peach Girl, it's you..."

You saved me, didn't you?"

"Winter Okra suddenly asked."

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

Tao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and shook her head: "I do want to help you, but I don't have the ability."

Sister Dongkui, don't think too much about it.

Just remember that you are now a free person.

Dongkui held Tao'er's hand and said, "Tao'er, you don't need to hide it from me. Even if you didn't save me, I was definitely saved because of you."

If it weren't for you, I might have been killed by the young lady.

"Thank you, Peach Sister."

The masked man didn't know her, so why would he save her?

And they brought her here while she was unconscious.

The only reason is that that person must know Tao'er, or has received a favor from Tao'er.

Dongkui couldn't continue speaking, feeling incredibly grateful.

"Dongkui, what's done is done. All we can do now is to live well."

By the way, what are your plans for the future?

Tao'er changed the subject.

If she has somewhere to go, he can give her some silver so she can do some small business to make a living.

Dongkui shook her head: "Sister Tao'er, you know I've always been alone. I have no parents, no relatives, and I'm homeless."

I don't know where to go now. I used to think I would spend my whole life in the Li family mansion.

But now…

"Sister Dongkui, such a big thing has happened at the Li family. If you stay here, I'm afraid the authorities will harm you."

Otherwise, you can come out of the city with us first, and when you see a suitable place and want to stay, then you can stay there.

I can give you some silver, and then you can settle down there and start a small business. Later, you can marry a good husband and have children.

In ancient times, the greatest wish of young girls was not always to marry a loving man, get married, and have children.

Dongkui shook her head. "Sister Tao'er, I really don't want to get married. I have a favor to ask, and I wonder if Sister Tao'er would be willing to grant it to me."

After Dongkui finished speaking, she knelt down.

Startled, Tao'er quickly stepped aside and stood up. "Sister Dongkui, please speak properly. Don't kneel down so easily. Get up!"

We're not that far apart in age, and I don't want to shorten my lifespan...

That's how people were in ancient times; they would kneel down at the drop of a hat!

"Little Peach, listen to me first. I'll finish what I have to say and then I'll get up."

Winter Okra stubbornly raised her face.

"Okay, Sister Dongkui, go ahead, I'm listening."

Peach had no choice; this girl was still stubborn. She should just listen to what she had to say first.

"Sister Peach, I am now homeless too."

If Sister Tao'er doesn't find me foolish, I'm willing to follow you and the young master.

I am not as clever as Sister Tao'er, and I cannot make a living on my own. At most, I can only find a wealthy family to be my servant.

You said you'd give me some money to make a living, but I don't know how!

They might get swindled out of every penny, and might even sell themselves while still counting money for the other person.

I don't have any strong opinions, and I'm afraid I'll be bullied even after I get married.

Men aren't all that great either; not every man is like those men in the Xiao family who only marry one wife.

So I don't want to get married.

"Little Peach, please let me come with you. I may not be good at much else, but I'm good at taking care of people. You'll have another helper."

Dongkui rattled off a long string of words, then looked at Tao'er with expectant eyes.

At this moment, Ayan woke up.
