I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 784 Dealing with escaped slaves.

Exquisite waterside pavilion and main hall.

"You are a runaway slave!"

Tang Qin stared at Yayin who was kneeling in front of her with a look of surprise, the expression in her eyes was ambiguous.

Although it was only for two or three days, she liked this tough and stubborn little girl very much.

She didn't send the person back immediately because she used the excuse of using the person as a legitimate reason for her visit.

She coaxed Yayin into staying in Ruoshui Hall first, and when Li Mu returned home, she would personally send him back.

However, she never expected that early this morning, she would receive a message from Qiu Ju, asking her to send the person back home immediately without any delay.

Qiu Ju is now her immediate superior, and although she is dissatisfied, she dare not hesitate.

Who would have thought that I would hear such bad news as soon as I arrived.

At this time, Ying Yu crossed her arms and looked at Ya Yin arrogantly.

"Isn't the young master treating you well?"

"They provided delicious food and drinks, the finest rouge and powder, and priceless jewelry."

"We have also invited the best musicians and dancers in the capital to train you. This is how you repay the Master!"

Yayin lowered her head, looking ready to die. Her fingers gently touched the blood bracelet on her wrist, and she gritted her teeth and said,

"Yayin knows she was wrong. She only wants to see you again. You can kill me or chop me up, you'll decide."

She still held out one last hope.

What she had learned in the past few months had not yet been shown to Li Mu, and she was also hoping that perhaps Li Mu could spare her life like he did last time.

Even if she no longer had the comfortable life she had before, as long as she could still stay in Linglong Waterside, she would be satisfied.

"You still want to see the young master."

Ying Yu frowned and sighed.

"Do you know why the Master changed your name to 'Ya'?"

Yayin looked up blankly, thinking, isn't it because it has the same pronunciation as the previous name and it sounds more like the name of the Xingchao people?

A smug look flashed in Ying Yu's eyes and she raised her chin. It was finally time for her to show off in public.

She cleared her throat, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and spoke word by word:

"The word 'Ya' is the same as 'crow', which refers to the legendary nine-colored black bird. The black bird values ​​righteousness and is the most grateful. It will repay its parents just like us humans."

"The young master forced you to stay in his mansion, but don't you feel the kindness he has shown you?"

After saying that, Ying Yu glanced at the reactions of the people around him, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was nothing unusual.

It seems that she did not recite it wrong.

Yayin's tears immediately flowed down, and she banged her head heavily on the ground, crying,

"Sister Xiaoyu, Yayin really knows she was wrong. Please, please give Yayin a chance. Yayin just wants to thank you in person."

"Now you know you're wrong? It's too late! You ungrateful wolves, just wait and see how I'll deal with you!"

At this time, Qiu Ju strode into the main hall, holding a woman in each hand.

"You two, get over here and kneel down!"

Qiuju pushed Cangzhi and Yake to the ground.

The two were in a much worse condition than Yayin. Their faces were pale and there was even blood at the corners of their mouths.

When they entered the city that day, they found out that Li Mu was not at home, so they did not return to Linglong Waterside Pavilion for the time being.

Cang Zhi knew that the chance of survival depended entirely on Li Mu.

Since Li Mu is not here, the women in the mansion are afraid that they will not listen to her explanation.

After explaining the interests involved to Ya Ke, the two of them stayed in an inn in the city.

However, Qiu Ju had already received news about them when they pawned their jewelry.

He just wasn't free the past two days, so early this morning, he went straight to the inn and personally captured Cangzhi and Meiyin.

"My life belongs to you, and you have to ask me to kill you."

Cangzhi raised his head and stared at Qiuju with a stubborn look.

"just you!"

Qiu Ju leaned down, put her little face close to her, and said in a cold tone,

"My master said that if you are unfaithful once, you will never be trusted again. Not to mention you, even Sister Xiao Zhao will not have a second chance."

"Who the hell are you?"

Qiuju was very angry and kicked Cangzhi in the stomach.

When he turned around to kick Ya Ke again, he hesitated for a moment, then kicked her to the ground with force.

Compared to other people, she has the most resentment in her heart.

After spending so many days together, Qiu Ju no longer treats the Mei Ya sisters as "captives".

In order to sincerely impress them, all food and clothing are the best.

She even asked them seriously that day in a fit of excitement that if the two of them really wanted to leave, she could plead for them.

However, they themselves said that this place is good and they are willing to stay here forever.

Qiu Ju stared with red eyes, tears welling up in them. She bent down and grabbed Ya Kede's collar, gritted her teeth and asked,

"Where's Canghe!"

"Back, back to the empire."

The buds lowered their heads, not daring to look at the autumn chrysanthemums.

She believes she can clearly see whether a person is really good to her.

Now that she is back, the person she finds most difficult to face is Qiu Ju.

"Okay, very good!"

"Then why don't you go together?"

Qiu Ju threw Ya Ke to the ground with a mocking look on her face.

"She's a princess of a country, and you guys just threw her away after using her. How dare you come back here? What do you think this place is?"

Qiuju clenched her fists tightly, and for a moment, she even hoped that the two sisters would never come back.

Given Li Mu's temper, one can imagine the fate of those who betrayed him.

But her pity was only for a moment. Compared to that insignificant friendship, she could not tolerate anyone betraying Li Mu.

"Sister Qiuju, no, it's not like that."

Ya Ke crawled to Qiu Ju's feet on her knees, pulled her trouser legs and said,

"Yes, it was her. It was all her idea."

"Sister Qiuju, I left you a note, you should have received it."

"She is the young master's woman. If we don't catch her in the act, the young master will definitely not believe us based on our one-sided statements."

"But until I boarded the ship, no one contacted me, so I just…"

Meiyin looked at her in surprise. She didn't even know about this.

She didn't expect that this sister who had never been smart would do so many things without her knowing.

She was the one who had been persuading Ya Ke all along.

But unexpectedly, the one who least wanted to leave was her.

She asked herself, she was not as determined as Ya Ke.

If I am seven parts reluctant to leave the comfort of my home, then I am still three parts uncertain.

From beginning to end, she seemed to be sober, but she just let everything go.

It was not until the moment I boarded the ship that I saw my own heart clearly.

So he slipped off the boat quietly without telling anyone.

"A note?"

Qiuju frowned and looked at Yake with suspicion in her eyes.

"Yes, it was my idea. I forced them both to go with me."

At this time, Cangzhi forced himself to stand up straight. Qiuju's kick just now was really hard.

Her eyes swept over Ya Ke, the look in her eyes was ambiguous.

There is self-mockery, guilt, but more of it is relief.

She joked that the two of them had been through thick and thin together along the way, but she didn't expect that Ya Ke would stab her in the back.

She felt guilty that she shouldn't have taken it for granted and thought that the two sisters really wanted to leave. She wanted to help them, but now she was hurting them.

Xin Weiya did not really betray Li Mu. If what she said was true, then both of them could survive.

Unlike her, coming back would only lead to death.

"Snapped!"

Cang Zhi closed her eyes and was about to speak again, but Qiu Ju slapped her in the face.

"What's the point of pretending to be a sisterly love?"

Then he looked at Ya Ke, "Where did you put the note?"

"I, I, saw that you were not at home that day, so I threw it into your room through the window."

"..."

Qiuju recalled carefully and confirmed that she had never received any note. Although they had a high status in the mansion, they were essentially maids.

Naturally, there was no one to serve them, and they always cleaned the house themselves, so there was no chance of anything being picked up by others.

She closed her eyes, took out the blood jade bracelet that Yake used as travel expenses from her sleeve, bent down and put it on her wrist.

Then he turned his back and said in a cold voice,

"Take him away, pierce his Qi Sea, lock his heart meridian, cut his tendons, and wait for the Master to decide."
