Song Jinghuan glanced at the guards standing behind Song Jiayue with clubs, and then glanced at the servants hiding around them and secretly sized them up.

She was relieved.

All of these people combined were no match for her.

Retracting her gaze, she pushed Manager Liu forward and said, “If you want us to let him go, let Liu Jinbao go in and see Old Master Liu. We’ll naturally leave when we see him.”

Actually, she felt that something was wrong. Song Jiayue had appeared, but Liu Jinbao’s mother had yet to appear. It was impossible for her not to have received the news.

Moreover, these people were wearing mourning clothes, but they did not look sad at all.

As servants, they had to pretend they were devastated even if they weren’t really sad that their master had passed away.

Song Jiayue had long noticed Song Jinghuan and found her familiar, but she didn’t remember her. When she heard her words, she first glanced at Manager Liu, then seemed to have heard a huge joke. “He’s just a servant of our Liu family. Are you threatening me with a servant?”

Song Jinghuan said, “Alright then.”

Of course, she knew that Manager Liu was just a servant. Didn’t he think that he had some status in the Liu residence because the people he brought listened to him?

Sensing that the whip was slowly tightening around him and was about to break his neck at any moment, Manager Liu, whose lips were pale from excessive blood loss, quickly said with a trembling voice, “Madam, I’ve worked hard for the Liu family for half my life. Even if I don’t contribute, I’ve worked hard. You can’t ignore my life. I…”

“Of course I want to save Uncle Liu.” Song Jiayue sighed. She was no longer as arrogant as before. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back. “But Master doesn’t want to see Liu Jinbao. What if something happens to him because of this? What should Second Master do? He’s still young, and he’s usually closest to his father.”

Hearing Second Master, Manager Liu instantly felt as if his throat was stuck. He could no longer say the rest of his words. Instead, he looked like he was about to die.

“Uncle Liu, don’t worry. I won’t let you die in vain.”

Song Jinghuan was speechless. He wasn’t even dead yet, but she was already saying such things. Did she want her to kill Manager Liu?

Song Jiayue didn’t say anything else. She pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and gave the guards behind her a look. The group of people raised their clubs and rushed towards Song Jinghuan and Liu Jinbao, completely ignoring Manager Liu’s life.

Song Jinghuan raised her eyebrows and knocked out Manager Liu with one hand. She pulled out her long whip and swung it at the guards rushing over.

It didn’t matter if she killed him or not. However, since she could tell that Song Jiayue wanted to use her to kill him, she wouldn’t let her do it.

Liu Jinbao was afraid that the guards would hurt Song Jinghuan, so he couldn’t care less about the commotion and went up to them bare-handed.

Although he had been in the Ministry of Works for the past few years, he had been taught a lot by Song Jinghuan, and his skills had improved a lot. Coupled with Song Jinghuan’s killing weapon, the guards were no match for the two of them.

Song Jiayue was protected by a few maidservants and hid behind them. At first, she was smug, but seeing more and more guards fall, her expression turned even uglier.

She didn’t expect Liu Jinbao, who couldn’t lift his shoulders or carry his arms in the past, to become so powerful.

She had read the letter sent back by Liu Jinbao and knew that he had found an apprenticeship in Chang’an. However, her impression of him was too deep, so she and Manager Liu didn’t care at all.

He was just an apprentice. What could he do?

Therefore, they did not take him seriously at all.

With a bang, the last guard fainted from Song Jinghuan’s whip. Song Jiayue staggered back in fear, feeling as if the whip had struck her heart.

She thought of something and her face turned pale. She pointed at Song Jinghuan and asked, “What’s your relationship with Shen Yijia?” Without waiting for Song Jinghuan to speak, she shook her head again and again. “No, you’re not her.”

Song Jinghuan was speechless. She remembered her sister-in-law, but didn’t recognize her?

Actually, it was no wonder that Song Jiayue couldn’t recognize her. At that time, Song Jinghuan knew that the old Song family had ill intentions. When she and Brother Hao saw them, they would avoid them and wouldn’t approach the old Song family at all.

Later on, when Song Jiayue entered the Liu residence, she had even less chance to see her.

Even though she had hurriedly met the Liu family before leaving, Song Jiayue’s attention was all on Shen Yijia. After so many years, she naturally didn’t remember her.

Song Jiayue had always felt that without Shen Yijia, the old song family wouldn’t have been destroyed, and she wouldn’t have ended up being someone’s concubine.

However, she also knew that it was impossible for her to take revenge on Shen Yijia in this lifetime because that woman was too powerful. The current Song family was not something she could afford to offend.

For a moment just now, although she saw Shen Yijia’s shadow on this girl, it must be an illusion!

However, after being frightened by Shen Yijia’s shadow, Song Jiayue calmed down. She looked at Liu Jinbao and threatened, “If you dare to hurt me, Master won’t let you off.”

Song Jinghuan pursed his lips. She just said that if they didn’t let Manager Liu go, she wouldn’t let them off. Women were so fickle.

Liu Jinbao didn’t even look at her. “Let’s go see my grandfather first.”

“No way!”

Song Jinghuan was about to agree when she was interrupted by another sharp voice. She looked at Song Jiayue unhappily.

Song Jiayue tightened her grip and lowered her voice. “Master said that he didn’t want to see you. You can’t go in.”

Song Jinghuan rolled his eyes and pulled Liu Jinbao away.

The usually arrogant guards were still lying on the ground wailing and fainting. The rest were all maidservants and weak attendants, so they naturally did not dare to stop them.

Song Jiayue was extremely anxious when footsteps sounded. A team of bailiffs rushed in and stood around the courtyard.

Song Jiayue was delighted. She pointed at Song Jinghuan and Liu Jinbao and said, “You came at the right time. They barged into a residence and injured the guards in the residence. Capture them quickly.”

So what if they could fight? If they dared to fight an official, they would be on the wanted list.

The bailiffs did not move. They looked at a middle-aged man who had entered from behind.

Song Jiayue recognized County Magistrate Zhang at a glance. She knew that Manager Liu had spent a lot of money to bribe the county magistrate, but she had never heard of him bribing County Magistrate Zhang.

As far as she knew, such matters were usually managed by the deputy county magistrate. There was no need for County Magistrate Zhang to personally appear. She found it strange, but it did not stop her from finding the confidence to explain. She did not give Liu Jinbao a chance to explain. She pinched her handkerchief and sobbed. “Our master is bedridden now, and Eldest Master is gone. They’re bullying Second Master and me because our Liu family doesn’t have a man to lead the household.”

Song Jinghuan was dumbfounded. If not for the fact that the timing wasn’t right, she would have taken out a copper coin and thrown it over. After all, her acting was not bad.

County Magistrate Zhang glanced at everyone present and finally looked at Song Jinghuan.

Song Jiayue covered her eyes with a handkerchief and watched secretly. She was just waiting for him to say that he would arrest them. Then, she would add more fuel to the fire and make Liu Jinbao die in prison.

Unexpectedly, Magistrate Zhang walked up to the girl and cupped his hands.

“Greetings, Second Miss.”

Song Jiayue was speechless..
