Chapter 110 Courage is commendable
Uncle Li sighed helplessly, "Miss Lin, Miss Su wouldn't interfere; she's not that kind of person."
Li Bo was a confidant of the Duke, so he was certainly aware of Su Yinyin's capabilities. Therefore, Lin Lili's claim that Su Yinyin was interfering was absolutely a fabrication.
Upon hearing this, Lin Lili became even angrier. A mere servant had been bribed by Su Yinyin; Su Yinyin was truly capable.
A sly glint flashed in Lin Lili's eyes as she said, "Uncle Li, why don't you believe me?"
Mr. Li was unwilling to say more, so he made an excuse and said, "Miss Lin, I have other things to attend to, so I'll take my leave now." He then hurriedly left.
Watching the housekeeper's hurried departure, Lin Lili stomped her foot and cursed, "Hmph, old man, doesn't know what's good for him." But she didn't give up, and her malice grew stronger.
Since we can't get any information from the housekeeper, let's try other methods.
Lin Lili remembered that several servants in the manor would secretly look at her with admiration in their eyes. She came up with a plan, summoned her personal maid, and whispered a few instructions to her.
Before long, the servants were brought before Lin Lili.
Lin Lili smiled sweetly and coaxed them, saying that she would reward them if they could find out any news about Brother Che. The servants couldn't resist the temptation and agreed.
However, one of the servants hesitated. Seeing this, Lin Lili's expression changed, and she threatened, "If you don't handle this properly, I'll tell the Duke and have you charged with theft."
The servants were so frightened that they nodded in agreement and hurried off to investigate.
Lin Lili's lips curled into a sinister smile, thinking that no matter what, she had to get Brother Che today.
Meanwhile, Lin Lili went back and carefully dressed herself, ready to fight at any moment. And once again, she perfectly missed her chance with Li Yanche.
The servant who went out to inquire reported that Li Yanche had escorted the old lady to Su Yinyin's residence to stay for a few days.
Lin Lili's face contorted with rage upon hearing the news. "Damn it, she beat me to it again," she said through gritted teeth.
The maidservant beside her tremblingly advised, "Miss, Su Yinyin is very favored, shouldn't we..." Before the maidservant could finish speaking, Lin Lili glared at her fiercely, "Shut up, this young lady will not easily admit defeat."
Why did Li Yanche escort the old lady to Su Yinyin's residence?
On another note, when Su Yinyin and the Duke were discussing matters in the study...
Li Lan described how wonderful Su Yinyin's villa was to the old lady and the Duchess.
Actually, the plan was to lure the old lady to live in Su Yinyin's villa, so that she could live there openly and legitimately for a long time.
This was the strategy Li Lan had devised on his way back to the Duke's mansion.
Li Lan enthusiastically introduced the place to everyone, saying, "Grandmother, look, it's so cold today. Why don't you go stay at Sister Yinyin's villa!"
You wouldn't believe it, it's not cold at all inside Sister Yinyin's villa. It's perfect for you to spend the winter, and there's plenty of fine tea and many different tea sets—it's truly elegant…!
The old lady's heart stirred slightly upon hearing Li Lan's words, and she looked at the Duchess.
The Duchess nodded with a smile, "Mother, it does sound good. Your health is weak, so it would be good for you to spend the winter there." The old lady then agreed.
"Mother, Yinyin just invited us, but I'm too busy to go with you," the Duke said with a sigh.
"If it weren't for the many things happening in the manor, and my daughter-in-law wanting to stay for a few days, I would have let Lanlan serve you, and you could also teach Lanlan and Yueyue," the Duchess said regretfully.
In the end, Li Lan abducted the old lady. After instructing the servants to pack a few simple clothes for her, he set off immediately without taking any attendants.
The Duchess insisted on staying for lunch, but Li Lan, fearing something might go wrong, hurriedly led the old lady back to the villa. They didn't even have lunch at the Duke's residence.
Li Yanche received the instructions and escorted the old lady all the way there.
Li Yanche rode a horse, while five people sat in the carriage. The fifth man was driving the carriage.
People with high martial arts skills are efficient and can finish things in no time.
Su Yinyin had previously instructed Lao Wu to return and protect them after finishing his business.
I was afraid the Imperial Noble Consort would use a feint attack. Her ultimate target was her, and sure enough!
When the carriage reached a street with relatively few people, a group of masked men suddenly rushed out.
Li Yanche drew his sword to protect the carriage, cautiously looking around.
The fifth prince stood atop the carriage, looking down at the thugs. His young mistress was truly formidable!
Fifth Brother instructed Li Yanche to protect the people inside the car.
Seeing that there were only two guards, the masked thugs assumed the mission was easy and planned a quick finish. Each of them drew their swords and fled.
As the thugs rushed toward the carriage, the fifth brother drew his sword. Before they even got close, the thugs were all collapsed to the ground.
At this moment, the assailant's limbs had been severed by Lao Wu, rendering him unable to commit further violence.
The thugs were filled with fear. They had never seen such a master. They hadn't even seen how he made his move before their tendons were severed.
The fifth prince returned to the carriage and said to Li Yanche, who was still in a daze, "General Li, I will escort the old lady back to the mansion. You stay and deal with these thugs."
When the fifth brother saw that Li Yanche did not respond, he called out again, "General Li, General Li...!"
"Oh, Fifth Master, please accept me as your disciple. I will certainly take good care of you," Li Yanche said admiringly.
On the way back to the capital, even with the help of the pills given to him by Su Yinyin, his martial arts skills had improved rapidly.
Is it because I haven't had enough experience? Or because I haven't had a mentor? Or is it because I lack talent? I can't take any further steps forward.
Li Yanche really wanted to ask Su Yinyin for advice, but he was afraid of bothering her.
Upon seeing the fifth brother, Li Yanche's eyes lit up, and he asked the question without asking any questions.
Just as the fifth brother was at a loss for words, Li Lan climbed out of the carriage and spoke up to stop him, saying, "Brother, you should ask Sister Yinyin about this. Don't make things difficult for the fifth brother."
Li Lan had been pestering Lao Wu, wanting to become his apprentice. Lao Wu refused outright.
Li Lan thought to herself, "If I can't have you, I'll make sure you can't have me either."
Seeing that the matter of becoming an apprentice was not settled, Li Yanche said, "Then I'll trouble Fifth Master to escort the old lady and the others back. I'll wait here for the officials."
The fifth brother looked at the thugs on the ground, his heart filled with anger. Suddenly, the masked thugs on the ground felt a mysterious force crushing their internal organs like a thousand pounds. The pain was unbearable, leaving them speechless, let alone able to resist.
When the fifth brother withdrew his power, they feared being crushed by that power again. With all their might, they bit down on the poison inside their teeth and committed suicide.
Li Yanche tried to step forward to stop them, but it was too late.
The fifth brother felt much better after seeing all the thugs on the ground commit suicide.
These thugs are all after this young lady. Anyone who wants to kill her deserves to die.
The reason the fifth brother unleashed his power was to kill them. Severing their tendons was to torture them.
Now that his goal was achieved, he happily drove away in his carriage!
