The mother-in-law of Shouantang always acted with few scruples. Apart from the two who grabbed Nan Yun, the other two stepped forward in response, raised their palms as big as cattail leaf fans and were about to land on Tao Ye.
"Mother Wang, please calm down. This Miss Taoye has a different identity after all. Please show your respect!"
Zhao Jin quickly stepped forward to stop him.
It's true that he and Tao Ye don't deal with each other, but if something happens under his nose, the fifth young master may be looking for trouble for himself now that he's dating someone new.
Now that Nanyun is gone, Taoye will be alone in the yard from now on, and he will have plenty of opportunities to challenge others.
"Hmph, for your sake I will bypass her!"
"Let's go, send people to Manager Lu quickly, don't miss the right time!"
Zhao Jin was also born in a family in the mansion, so Wang's mother still gave him some face, and besides, she had to take care of things first.
"Mother Wang, walk slowly!"
Zhao Jin said with a smile.
"Miss Taoye, what are you doing?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he actually caught a glimpse of the light green figure rushing forward.
"Run quickly, shout for help!!"
Nanyun kept trying to struggle. The two women were so strong that they almost pinched her arms and couldn't break free. However, she was cold and stubborn and did not scream.
The woman on the left was knocked sideways by Taoye, and while the other woman was in a daze, Nagyun broke free.
"This is the opposite, catch them quickly!"
Mother Wang shouted angrily at the women.
"Come on, I'm fine!"
Tao Ye was thoughtful. Zhao Jin didn't get along with her, but he was willing to speak for her just now. He should be caring about the fifth young master. No matter how bad he was, he would be beaten a few times by those women.
If you let Nan Yun run out and scream, you may not be able to escape the pursuit of these people, but if you can make the matter bigger in the house, it is possible that the news will reach Madam's ears.
It was better than watching Nanyun being played by a stupid kid.
Under Tao Ye's fierce push, Nan Yun hesitated for a moment before running out of the courtyard gate.
"Damn girl, if you dare to run out today, your slave girl in the laundry room will not be alive!"
Mother Wang was so anxious that she actually came up with this vicious trick.
Taoye, who had just stood up straight, was surprised. Nanyun's mother was also in the house, but she had never heard of it.
But in this case, I'm afraid...
Sure enough, when Taoye looked to the side, Nayun had stopped.
"Hmph, hold the person down and let's go!"
Seeing that her words had an effect, a look of satisfaction flashed across Mrs. Wang's face.
Nanyun numbly let the women grab his arms and walked out.
The matter involved Nanyun's mother, and Taoye didn't dare to act rashly.
She had read Dongyu's household registration law. Sin slaves were all official slaves. They were no longer allowed to be slaves for the rest of their lives, as were ordinary servants like them who were sold into the government. The same was true for children. Only grandchildren were allowed to be slaves. But the owner’s consent is also required.
Moreover, sin slaves generally had a low status among the servants in various mansions, so Nanyun's mother was assigned to the laundry room, which had the heaviest workload in the mansion.
More importantly, the law also states that ordinary servants must not be severely punished to death without reason, but for sinful slaves, the master can take lives at will.
Now, only Madam's intervention can save Nanyun.
But as soon as Taoye took two steps out of the door, he was stopped by Zhao Jin's servant: "Miss Taoye, please stop being so reckless and bumping into the people of Shou'antang. Is this girl going to have a good life?"
"Manager Zhao, I'm not going to cause trouble, I'm just going for a walk!"
Taoye said calmly.
"I don't dare to let you go out. If something goes wrong, I won't be able to explain it to the fifth young master. After all, the girl is the one he cares about now!"
Manager Zhao winked at Qing Xing who was standing behind him at some point.
"Yes, Sister Taoye's injury is just fine, but don't get injured again by offending the old lady. It's better to go to the house and rest!"
Qing Xing stepped forward with a smile, took Tao Ye's arm, and was about to go to the west wing.
Zhao Jin also ordered the servants in the yard to surround Tao Ye.
Tao Ye's charming face was cold and solemn, and she glanced at Zhao Jin and Qing Mei, who could not hide their proud expressions.
"Manager Zhao really wants to stop me. If I go out today, even if I get into trouble, it has nothing to do with you. Young Master Fifth is not a person who likes to express his anger, but if something happens to me in this yard, you just said that, Young Master Five The young master is sparing me now, what do you think?"
Zhao Jin didn't listen to Tao Ye at all. Just as he was about to wave his hand to invite Tao Ye back to the house, he was startled by a flash of silver light in front of him: "What are you doing?"
"Let me go out or die here, Manager Zhao chooses one!"
The silver hairpin plucked from Peach Leaf was placed on her neck.
"Threaten me, you..."
She didn't know when the Lu family would get things done, so Taoye didn't want to use words to deal with it anymore. The tip of the hairpin pressed inward, and a bright red color instantly slipped from her neck.
Everyone in the yard was shocked by this desperate act.
Qing Xing's eyes were filled with joy, wishing that the peach leaves would turn deeper, and went directly to the Yama Hall.
But Zhao Jin didn't dare. Taoye was the fifth young master's beloved wife, and if he died here, he would not be spared easily.
Even if his life is safe, if he fails to become the steward of this yard, the master behind him will not let him go.
"Has Manager Zhao thought about it?"
Taoye said and pressed the hairpin against her neck again. There was blood between the fingers holding the hairpin tightly.
"Get out of the way, since Miss Taoye doesn't want to listen to the villain's advice, then just ask for your own blessings!"
Zhao Jin waved his hands to let people disperse.
Taoye held the hairpin tightly in her hand and ran out of the courtyard gate.
"Why did Manager Zhao let her go? She will definitely go to the main courtyard to find his wife. I don't believe she really dares to seek death. She is just pretending!"
After Taoye went out, Qingxing said dissatisfiedly.
"Pretend, Miss Qingxing makes one for the little man to see!"
Zhao Jin said coldly.
He naturally knew what Qingxing was thinking, but he was not an idiot.
Not mentioning these two people, Taoye ran towards the backyard quickly after leaving the courtyard gate, unwilling to stop for a moment.
When he ran into the main courtyard, all the maids and women were shocked.
"Is Madam in the house?"
Taoye grabbed Huicao's hand and asked urgently before she could speak.
"exist!"
Taoye, who had waited for the right words, had no time to take a breath and rushed into the house. The white jade pieces on the door curtain made a crisp sound.
Biyun and Bixiao were dyeing Gu Yunqing's nails. When they heard the noise, they thought it was the little maids. When they were about to scold them, they heard a thump.
Taoye was already kneeling on the ground: "Please Madam, please save Nanyun. The people from Shou'antang just crushed him away, saying that he was going to be given to Manager Na Lu's son. The fifth young master usually protects the people around him the most. Before the slave passed by, , Nanyun takes care of all the details in the Fifth Young Master’s yard, please Madam, please save her for the Fifth Young Master’s sake!”
Taoye didn't know whether what Wang's mother said was true, so she could only try her best to talk to the fifth young master.
