Chapter 672: 672: Yuan Mengbai, Stubbornly Unenlightened

This statement made Yuan Mengbai’s heart skip a beat!

He shouted anxiously, “Wait! Wait, listen to me! Just tell me what you want, as long as I, Yuan Mengbai, can satisfy you, I will do it. We’ll agree to anything! …Just let us go. Please, I beg you!” Yuan Mengbai struggled with all his might.

Zhu Caimai looked back at Liu Sisi, who nodded at him, signalling that it was almost time.

“Hmph! Yuan Mengbai, you enjoy the fruits of others’ labor while my brothers and I risk our lives in front! Now, you have caused the death of Old Man Li and the Jiang brothers. How is it that you still want to save your own life? You’re really good at calculating!”

Zhu Caimai expressed his hatred tenfold.

Yuan Mengbai’s face showed anxiety, and he hesitated to ask, “You… who are you?”

“Don’t ask me who I am! Even if you ask, I won’t tell you. A person like you, who can hurt his own niece without hesitation, what kind of humanity do you have?”

The anxiety on Yuan Mengbai’s face finally gave way to terror. He stared at the direction where Zhu Caimai stood, “Who the hell are you? Who the fuck are you?”

“Oh! Now you’re not claiming to be a Cultivated Talent anymore? Not mentioning that your uncle is a captain? Weren’t you quite arrogant just now? Killing your own niece, you must be a heartless and insane person. Talking to someone like you is a waste of time. Take this woman away, let the brothers outside have a good time!”

Zhu Caimai sneered.

“Mmm, mmm, mmm…”

Di Ruoning, unable to see and with her hands tied behind her back, struggled continuously. She tried to scream loudly, but the smelly sock in her mouth muffled her noises, giving no signs of madness.

Liu Sisi looked at her deeply for a few moments, then whispered a few words to Madam Thirteen beside her, who nodded and went to carry out the orders.

“Stop! Let her go, release her! She’s innocent!”

Yuan Mengbai’s struggle intensified, causing the hemp rope binding him to creak.

His opposition could not stop the steps of the crowd. Laughter and mocking voices rang out, saying, “Hurry up!” “What’s the delay?” “The brothers are waiting, hehehe…”

Soon, Di Ruoning was forcibly dragged out of the hut. Apart from the faint muffled noises, bursts of men’s lewd laughter followed, one after another.

Yuan Mengbai fell silent for a moment, his face showing bulging veins.

Then, his face turned vicious, and he suddenly roared, “Bastards! You scoundrels won’t die a good death!”

“You’re cursing us not to die a good death? Hahaha! … Everyone, listen up, he’s actually cursing us that we won’t die a good death? Someone who’s done such despicable things actually curses us that we won’t die a good death? Hahaha…”

After Zhu Caimai finished speaking, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter. His laughter provoked a roomful of laughter.

As the others laughed, Yuan Mengbai’s face turned ashen, and he remained silent for a long time.

Liu Sisi no longer wanted to continue watching. She stood up from her chair and slowly left the room.

Outside, Di Ruoning was tied to a tree, surrounded by a group of men who were making lewd sounds, but no one approached her or attempted anything inappropriate.

Liu Sisi glanced at the scene but did not say anything. She just bowed her head and entered the small alley.

Yuan Mengbai was deeply in love with Di Ruoning, wasn’t he? She’d like to see how he would react after his inner defenses were broken.

“Prefecture Princess, what should we do with these people?”

Zhu Caimai quickly caught up.

“Keep them locked up for now, let’s see what the Old Master has to say.” After saying that, Liu Sisi strode away.

Zhu Caimai looked back at Di Ruoning, who was still tied to the tree, intending to ask a few more questions, but seeing two of Madam Thirteen’s men standing beside the tree, one on each side, he decided to hold his tongue. It seemed that the Prefecture Princess had other plans for this young aunt.

In the backyard of the wine-house, a small sedan was parked. Liu Sisi got into the sedan, and she didn’t have to wait long for Madam Thirteen to catch up.

“Prefecture Princess, the doctor has examined her, and she doesn’t seem to be mad. Or at least, she hasn’t had an episode at the moment,” said the maid.

“Alright, I understand. Let’s return to the mansion!”

Liu Sisi lowered the carriage curtain.

Regardless of whether Di Ruoning had been genuinely insane or only pretending, her clarity in the moment rid Liu Sisi of her last shred of guilt. After all, Di Ruoning had once tried to send her to her death.

Should she hand over Yuan Mengbai and the others to Di Yelei?

Lost in thought, Liu Sisi decided to probe Ye Lei’s intentions tonight and act accordingly.

The sedan took her directly to the Di Residence and stopped in the front hall of the mansion.

As soon as Liu Sisi’s head appeared, a distraught maid yelled out, “Madam! Madam, something’s wrong! Eldest Miss has fainted!”

YingEr fainted?

Without any concern for decorum, Liu Sisi lifted her skirt hem and ran quickly through the mansion.

YingEr’s small courtyard was packed with people, and nearly all the residents in the Di Residence were squeezed inside, arguing loudly over something.

Liu Sisi didn’t bother to find out what they were arguing about, and hurriedly pushed her way through the crowd to the front: “What happened? YingEr’s condition was stable, how did she faint suddenly?”

Almost everyone simultaneously pointed fingers at the person in the middle.

“Ask her!”

Liu Sisi turned around to see the person everyone pointed to, and it was unexpectedly Ms. Wang!

“Why are you here?” Liu Sisi was not polite with her question.

When their group had left the Di Family, Ms. Wang and the others had stayed behind in the main Family. Why had they come back?

“This, I… but…”

Ms. Wang couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation.

Xiao Feng, her face full of rage, reached out and pushed Ms. Wang, causing her to stumble.

“Third Aunt, you don’t know who these people are! She was shouting outside, wanting to come in, claiming she had a letter from the main Family. So the servants let her in, and she somehow found out that YingEr was injured and rushed directly into her room, slapping her in the chest…”

Everyone was glaring at her with a murderous look.

“It’s not my fault! I honestly didn’t know she was injured. I just wanted to show her some love…”

Ms. Wang’s excuse hadn’t even finished when she suddenly found herself under attack from all sides, being accused from every angle.

Ms. Wang covered her head and ran like a mouse, becoming everyone’s favorite target.

Ms. Wang and her group originally had a good plan. When they left for Upper Village and had a fallout with Elderly Mr. Di’s family, clinging onto the Di Family seemed like their only viable option.
