Chapter 141 Poison Hair
"If you don't leave now, the villagers will be here soon."
Li Liang raised his eyes to look at Bai Guo, and asked with determination in his eyes, as long as her master could keep them and their child safe, he would definitely testify in court.
"As long as you can testify and rescue my two young masters, the master will not ignore it. Even if you don't testify, I think those people will not let you and your son go.
You also heard someone behind them. If those people knew of your existence, would they…"
Bai Guo's words reminded Hua Yun. She sighed helplessly and confirmed with Bai Guo again and again before agreeing to go together to see her master.
"Hurry, come and put out the fire, Huayun's house is on fire."
At this time, the villagers were attracted by the fire, and Baiguo quickly took the mother and son away from this dangerous place.
At Qu's residence, Qu Jingyao had just come out of the space when Bai Guo knocked on the door.
"Master, this slave is back."
"Come in!"
Baiguo walked into the room with the mother and son.
Li Liang looked at the person sitting in front of him, was stunned for a moment, and then knelt down in front of her.
"Li Liang thanks the young lady for saving his life."
"Thank you? How do you thank me?" Qu Jingyao put down the teacup in her hand and asked with a smile.
Li Liang was stunned. Hua Yun beside him wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it. He kept rubbing the corner of his clothes with an anxious look on his face.
Qu Jingyao took in the expressions on the mother and son's faces. She waved her hand slowly and asked them to sit down.
"Tea with ginkgo nuts."
"Yes." Bai Guo leaned over and left the room.
Hua Yun was supported by his son and carefully sat down on a stool beside him. Looking at the beautiful woman sitting above him, he didn't know how to answer.
"You must know that you will have to face what happened today repeatedly until you are actually killed..."
Qu Jingyao's green jade fingers tapped on the table, making a "tapping" sound, which seemed to penetrate people's hearts in the quiet night.
Hua Yun's face instantly showed panic. She grabbed her son's hand and looked at Qu Jingyao anxiously:
"Girl...we...we..."
"Please help me, young lady. I, Li Liang, am willing to work like a slave to repay you for saving my life."
Li Liang patted his mother's hand gently, then looked up and spoke to her calmly.
Qu Jingyao still admired his calmness and composure.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, with a faint smile on her lips: "Before, I was the one who begged you, but you and your son rejected me. Now I am the one who saved you.
And it is you who need my help, so you said that in order to protect you and your child, I must be prepared to go against the Hong family and the Hou family.
I never do business at a loss."
Li Liang frowned, lifted up his disheveled scholar's robe, and knelt in front of Qu Jingyao again.
"As long as the young lady can protect us mother and son, I am willing to serve you in the future."
Hua Yun glanced at her son, opened her mouth but ultimately didn't stop him. She knew full well that the Hong family would never let them go...
Qu Jingyao slammed a contract of sale and a deed on the table.
Let Li Liang make his own choice.
The content of the contract was simple. It required Li Liang and his mother to be at her service for five years, after which she would set them free.
After reading the above content, Li Liang turned to look at his mother. He did not avoid Qu Jingyao.
On the way here, the girl just now briefly explained to him why they chose to poison the illegitimate son of the Hong family.
Even if the murderer is caught today, they will find it difficult to gain a foothold in Ruyang City in the future due to the suppression of the Hong family's legitimate descendants.
Hua Yun felt complicated when she heard her son's explanation, although she knew it would be difficult for her to continue to support her son's studies on her own.
The Li family will not let them go later. Instead of doing this, it is better to sell themselves. At least they and their son will have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
"Miss, I choose to sell myself, but I think it's better to wait until I testify before signing the contract, in case the county magistrate doesn't believe what I say and thinks that we are master and servant..."
After Li Liang finished speaking, Qu Jingyao smiled and nodded. She had the same idea.
She called out to Baiguo outside.
"What are your orders, Master?"
"Take them and their son down there and settle them down. They will belong to the Qu family from now on. When the case is over tomorrow, take their indentures to the government and get a fair shake."
Baiguo leaned forward and responded.
Qu Jingyao told them to tell Nanny Qin in the mansion if they needed anything, and she would arrange it.
"Thank you, Master." Li Liang and his mother bowed to her.
"Well, go down first. After this matter is over, I will arrange for you to stay with Xiaoyang so that you can continue to accompany him to study in Qing Academy."
Qu Jingyao's words surprised Li Liang and his mother. Hua Yun's eyes turned red and she turned around and knelt in front of her to kowtow and express her gratitude.
She gestured to Baiguo to take them downstairs to rest first.
After the mother and son were taken out of the room, Qu Jingyao breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the stool.
This time she won the bet.
"little things!"
Leng Yanxiu's figure suddenly appeared in front of her, his handsome face showing an evil smile, staring at her playfully.
"Why are you here?" Qu Jingyao rubbed her forehead. She had no intention of getting entangled with this man at this moment.
He was leaning on the table with his arms folded, his face calm, staring straight at her, and suddenly laughed out loud.
"Little thing, how are you going to thank me? I helped you delay the time last time, but you forgot so quickly?"
Qu Jingyao's mouth twitched. This man really still disgusted her. He remembered such a small thing so clearly and had to come to her house in the middle of the night like a debt collector.
"Thank you for your help, sir. I will burn three sticks of incense every morning and evening to express my gratitude for your kindness." Qu Jingyao stood up and bowed insincerely.
Leng Yanxiu could see through her perfunctory attitude and approached her with a half-curled lip.
When Qu Jingyao showed resistance, he suddenly stopped, put his hand on his chest, and a trace of blood flashed in his eyes.
"Ugh...it hurts...why the hell are you still biting me!"
The next second, Leng Yanxiu quickly embraced her, leaned over and bit her fair neck.
He held Qu Jingyao tightly, not giving her a chance to struggle.
"Wuwu...you...let go..."
Qu Jingyao burst into tears. She felt an abnormal warmth coming from Leng Yanxiu. The warmth seemed to continue. She was extremely scared at the moment. This man...
After a long time, Leng Yanxiu regained his senses when he heard Qu Jingyao's hoarse sobs. He shook his head and pushed Qu Jingyao aside.
He turned and disappeared into her room.
Qu Jingyao looked at the closed door and burst into tears. She covered her injured neck and began to curse the damn perverted man.
After a while, she was tired of crying, so she turned around and entered the space.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Manman came over immediately after noticing her figure.
"I'm fine, take your time. I'm going to soak in the spiritual spring water."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared and headed towards the bamboo building.
She had no idea that Leng Yanxiu had returned just after she left the room.
