Chapter 187: The Handmaid Who Asked for Help
Originally, the two little girls who wanted to please Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue were a little disappointed, but after all, they didn't dare to disobey the city lord's distinguished guests, so after Ren Hanyue spoke, they went to live on the second floor together.
From the next day, Yun Hongjing, the second daughter of the Taizhou City Lord, was accompanied by two maids every day to come to Concubine Xue Pavilion to get rid of the demonic energy.
In order to avoid exposing her special physique, Ren Hanyue used the two golden ring-shaped magic weapons she picked up on Funan Island when she expelled Yun Hongjing's demonic qi.
Compared to her immortal powers, the effect of these two magic weapons to dispel demonic qi is slightly inferior, but compared to the existing magic weapons that can dispel demonic qi in the City Lord's Mansion, their effect is slightly better.
On the one hand, Yun Hongjing's complexion is becoming more and more ruddy day by day, and the black qi between her eyebrows is decreasing day by day, on the other hand, after receiving treatment for three days in a row, Yun Hongjing, who had already begun to react slowly and lose her mind, finally turned back to being smart and agile, lively and agile before being infected by demonic energy.
The heart he had been carrying finally fell back into his stomach, and the worry and anxiety caused by the repeated messengers who had never sent anyone over finally dissipated a little.
On the eighth day, all the demonic qi in Yunhong's crystal was removed, and Ren Hanyue and Ren Hantang prepared to leave the City Lord's Mansion the next day.
Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang, who have been working hard in the past few days, saw that the two of them never had the intention of taking them away, and they couldn't help but feel anxious and desperate.
When Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue saw the Taizhou City Lord come back, the two finally couldn't help but plead.
Ren Hantang glanced at Ren Hanyue, meaning that this matter will be handed over to you.
Ren Hanyue took a slow step and couldn't get out, so she had to take Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang to the small flower hall on the third floor to ask what was going on.
The two little girls whimpered and cried pitifully, but fortunately, they were still able to speak clearly.
After listening to their intermittent narration, Ren Hanyue knew that it turned out that a certain master of the city lord would come to the city lord's mansion every two years to pick up two lovely maids to bring back, but he was different from the usual male cultivators who made a lot of women around him for women or cultivation, he was very cruel to the maids and furnaces around him, and among the ten maids he took away in the past few years, nine of them died of abuse, and the last one committed suicide because he couldn't bear the abuse.
According to Mei Xiang, according to the law of previous years, in two months, the city lord's uncle should come to Taizhou City in the name of Yunyou, because of this, the eight maids trained in this phase of the city lord's mansion all sharpened their heads and wanted to leave here.
Before Ren Hanyue and Ren Hantang lived in the City Lord's Mansion, Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang's four little friends—Lotus Xiang, Ju Xiang, Gui Xiang, and Tao Xiang—each left the City Lord's Mansion with the monks who liked them, and the other two little friends who were still in the City Lord's Mansion like them, Jasmine Xiang and Ping Xiang, became the concubines of the third young master and the monk surnamed Qian respectively.
In other words, only the two little girls, Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang, are still in danger of being taken away by the city lord's uncle.
Hearing this, Ren Hanyue somewhat understood why the monk surnamed Qian would hint that they were asking the city lord for Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang.
On the one hand, the monk surnamed Qian also hated the perverted master of the city lord very much, and he didn't want these flower-like little girls to be abused to death, on the other hand, Pingxiang, who was the concubine of the monk surnamed Qian, thought that she should have a good relationship with Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang.
It's just that it really doesn't matter if they pry the corner of the city lord like this?
Since he has to send two maids to his uncle every two years, this year should be no exception, right?
If she and Ren Hantang were to stick together, wouldn't the city lord want to let his uncle go back empty-handed this year?
Ren Hanyue knew on his knees that if the city lord really dared to let his uncle, who was used to bringing two maids back every two years, empty-handed, his uncle would definitely be annoyed and angry, and he would turn his face directly with him.
And as a result of his annoyance and anger, he turned his face directly, and he thought that the city lord was not willing to face it.
Thinking about it this way, how could Ren Hanyue not know what kind of calculation the monk surnamed Qian was making - he clearly wanted Ren Hantang and Ren Hanyue to use their credit for curing Yun Hongjing in exchange for the two little girls Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang.
But the problem is, Ren Hanyue has no confidence!
Although she couldn't bear to let the two little girls like shallots be abused to death, she also knew very well that she and Ren Hantang were not qualified to talk to the lord of Taizhou City at all.
In particular, now that Yun Hongjing is fine, the city lord of Taizhou suddenly turned his face, and they did not blow up the other way to compromise with other means other than the extreme means of destroying the same fate.
But she can't threaten the city lord of Taizhou with a self-explosion for the sake of these two girls, right?
She just doesn't want to live anymore, and there is no need to bring trouble to her parents and relatives in this way.
What's more, she hasn't lived long enough!
Thinking of this, Ren Hanyue asked Mei Xiang to invite the monk surnamed Qian to come over - she had to ask the other party about this.
If it was just necessary to offset it with her credit for saving Yun Hongjing, or if the Taizhou City Lord was willing to make a deal with her or Ren Hantang, then she wouldn't mind sacrificing to save these two poor little girls.
But if saving them would annoy the city lord of Taizhou, and even bring trouble to the family, then she could only say love to these two little girls.
She is not a virgin, and the first thing she wants to protect is always her little family.
The monk surnamed Qian soon brought his concubine named Pingxiang to the Feixue Pavilion, and Ren Hantang heard his voice, so he also walked out of the room to help Ren Hanyue entertain guests.
After the two groups of people exchanged pleasantries, Ren Hanyue directly asked the city lord's attitude towards this matter.
After learning that the city lord had sent several letters to borrow a magic weapon to dispel demonic qi from his uncle in order to save his daughter, but his uncle had never responded, Ren Hanyue suddenly had a little more confidence in taking away Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang.
However, she was not ready to listen to the words of the monk surnamed Qian, and after sending him and Pingxiang away, Ren Hanyue pulled Ren Hantang to find the city lord of Taizhou again.
Their return and return surprised the Taizhou city lord, and he thought that the two had changed their minds and were going to ask him to send someone to escort them away, but unexpectedly, the other party actually came to ask him if they could take Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang away.
Ren Hanyue's statement was that she was short of two careful and capable maids by her side, and if the city lord didn't mind, she was willing to exchange the elixir or other things she could get in exchange for these two maids.
