y nodded slightly, barely showing the tip of her nail as she carefully dug. Half an hour later, the roots of the large red flower emerged. Lian Ri stepped forward and took a closer look, even sniffing...Wang Zhenzhen never expected that the maid who lived and worked alongside her would betray her to outsiders.

"I'm offended! If you don't want to die, do what I say!"

The maid didn't change her expression, pulling Wang Zhenzhen in the opposite direction. She had only completed her task after taking the person away.

Wang Yinyin was also taken aback and said pale-faced.

"Emerald, you're crazy! Let go of my sister!"

"If you don't want your sister to die, come with me!"

The maidservant named Bi Xi walked with a calm expression, dragging Wang Yingying towards the back wall of the courtyard.

"Catch her, don't let her hurt your sister!"

Wang Yinyin's eyes were filled with tears, she gritted her teeth and ordered the guards beside her.

"Hmph! You think I wouldn't dare to hurt her As long as she's alive, that's all that matters to me!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Bi Xi swiftly slashed Wang Zhenzhen's face twice. Her delicate skin was immediately cut open, blood streaming down her face. Wang Zhenzhen cried out in pain.

"Stop! Stop it! I'm going with you!"

Wang Yingying was afraid that this beryl would really make her sister a cripple, so she immediately agreed loudly.

"Don't listen to her, she wouldn't dare kill me. Don't follow me, or both of us will be in danger!"

Because the weather was cold, Wang Zhenzhen trembled as she spoke. Perhaps because the wound on her face had been frozen stiff, she could still remain calm and advise Yinyin.

"Shut up, that's none of your business!"

Immediately, Jadeite dragged Wang Zhenzhen and the people who came to meet them, preparing to leave Plum Blossom Garden. As a result, Xu Fengze also invited a few friends from the Jianghu to come here to admire the plum blossoms. They naturally didn't have the rules of a big family, and without invitations, they entered Plum Ridge directly from the back mountain.

When a beautiful woman was kidnapped, heroes from the martial arts world naturally drew their swords to help. Xu Fengze, after figuring out the relationship between the parties involved, went with his friends to confront the kidnappers and fought them fiercely.

Xu Fengze still had some skills. He took down over a dozen bandits with his friends in mere moments, and even destroyed the carriage they were using for reinforcements, cutting off their escape route.

Emerald saw the busybody, knowing today's mission was a failure. She directly stabbed Wang Zhenzhen without hesitation, pushing her onto Wang Yinyin, then turned and ran away.

At that time, Wang Zhenzhen had already fainted from the pain. Wang Yinyin hugged her tightly, holding her in her arms, pressing on the bleeding wound on her waist, tears streaming down her face. In her sixteen years of life, she had never experienced such a terrifying thing.

"Miss, be careful!"

Xu Fengze dodged to Wang Yinyin's side, blocking a sword for her. His arm was cut in the process.

"Mind your own business!"

The bandits attacked frantically, but were quickly slain by Xu Fengze's sword.

At this time, the people in the front yard had already been alarmed. Mrs. Wu, accompanied by servants and guards, rushed over. Seeing her two daughters lying in a pool of blood, she was shocked and almost fainted. Luckily, the old woman beside her quickly acted, pinching her tiger's mouth to revive her.

"Madam, you mustn't faint! The two young misses are still waiting for you to save them!"

Mrs. Wu raised her hand and grabbed the maid and wet nurse beside her, steadying herself before saying:

"Yes, I can't fall for this! These people are all untrustworthy! How could they let criminals into the villa"

"Madam, please be careful with your words!"

The midwife immediately interrupted Wu's remaining words, reminding her.

Mrs. Wu gritted her teeth and ordered her most capable guard:

"Leave two alive, kill the rest!"

"Yes, madam"

The arrival of the guards quickly turned the tide. Apart from the escaping Beryl, and two survivors who remained, all others were killed.

Xu Fengze and five others were also surrounded by guards. He calmly clasped his hands and explained:

"We are not villains. We came to Hongmei Mountain Villa to admire the flowers, but we heard that there was a banquet today and it was closed to the public. So we could only go to Meihualing to see the flowers. Then we were attracted by the shouts and the sound of swords, and after figuring out the situation, my friend and I stepped in to help."

If Madam has any questions, she may ask them after the two young ladies have calmed down. I will be waiting here."

Xu Fengze remained composed, and the guards by Miss's side also confirmed that they had met outside the manor. Mrs. Wu temporarily felt relieved, but still ordered an investigation to be conducted, lest this was a scheme orchestrated by both parties.

When Wang Zhenzhen woke up, her face was covered with thick gauze, and her stomach ached in waves. The pain was so severe that she couldn't speak. Wang Yingying was wiping away tears beside her, and Wu shi's face was also grim.

"Mother, this time it was our fault. We won't do it again next time."

Wang Zhenzhen said weakly.

"One more time One more time and you're done for!"

Mrs. Wu's eyes also turned red. Although she favored Yingying among her two daughters, Zhenzhen was also the apple of her eye. Now that Zhenzhen's appearance was ruined, how could she rest assured

"If anyone is to blame, it's the jadeite around me. If she hadn't turned against me, I wouldn't have been hurt, and Yingying wouldn't have been threatened."

"Sister, we found her body in Bixi's house. She had already passed away. The Bixi who went to Hongmeishan Villa with you today was an imposter."

Wang Yingying wiped away her tears and immediately explained.

"I told you something was off about Bixue today. I thought she was just nervous, but it turns out someone else was impersonating her. But we caught them!"

Zhenzhen asked softly.

"No, let her get away! If she changes back to her original form, no one will be able to catch her. After all, no one has ever seen her true face."

With a heart full of pity, Wu gently stroked the woman's head. Then she took a handkerchief, dipped it in water, and lightly moistened her lips.

"The doctor said you can't eat anything now because the wound on your stomach is quite deep. Even though it's been treated, it still needs some time to heal and for the air to clear before you can eat any liquid food."

Mrs. Wu said with heartache.

"Madam, Lady Ling is here to visit the young ladies. She's waiting outside!"

A young maidservant came to report. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"Send her back to her own yard and don't come bothering me again. If anything happens to my daughter, her son will definitely be joining her!"

Ms. Wu said in a cold voice.

She now suspects that there is Su Ling's hand in this. She wants her son well, and surely wouldn't want her two daughters to marry into powerful families. Her two daughters are her soft underbelly, and her son is also Su Ling's soft underbelly.

Yes, Madam!

The little maid was almost scared to death. She replied in the same way and then urged Su Ling to leave.

Su Ling's face was filled with terror. She bowed her head in agreement and then left Wang Zhenzhen's courtyard. However, after returning to her own room, she smashed the teacup on the table.

"Those two little brats weren't even kidnapped! They dare to want my son buried with them, we'll see about that."

Then Su Ling wrote a note, tied it to the leg of his pet parrot, and let it go.

When Mr. Wang returned from the bank, Wang Zhenzhen had already been sent away by Mrs. Wu.

I found a good place for her to recover with the help of people from my clan, so I sent Zhenzhen there. I was afraid that if she stayed in this house, her life would be in danger.

Mrs. Wu's voice was cold. Even a close maid could be replaced, so she wouldn't believe it if there wasn't an insider in the manor.

"You can investigate with peace of mind. Find out who the culprit is, no matter who it is, I will not let them off."

Mr. Wang is not a fool. To get to this point, he's not only targeting his daughter, but also his own Wang family. He won't let this just blow over.echas, so after clashing dozens of times, the opponent seemed to realize the difference and quickly changed tactics, using his long sword and energy cannons in a pincer attack against Lianyi.Ripple le...
