Chapter 79

Hearing the urgent knocking at the door, the guard of the Su family said, "Who is it? My master does not see visitors today."

"Open the door quickly, I have an urgent matter to discuss with Suo Lun. It will be too late if we wait any longer," the middle-aged man outside said, agitated.

This man was handsome, especially his well-groomed mustache. However, he was in a sorry state, with his clothes torn and his face bruised and swollen, as if he had been beaten. His hair was also in disarray.

Ye Jingyu stepped forward and asked, "Who is it?"

"I am Lord Yikai," the disheveled middle-aged man said. "My daughter, Yiyun, is your master's lover. She has been kidnapped, and if we don't pay 300 gold coins, they will defile her."

This scoundrel again. The last time, he owed 900 gold coins in gambling debts and wanted to pawn his daughter to the casino. It was Suo Lun who took on that debt.

Now, he's up to the same trick again.

"Get lost..." Ye Jingyu said coldly.

Lord Yikai wailed, "For the sake of my daughter, who is with Suo Lun, please save her. It's just 300 gold coins, 300 gold coins."

"Get lost..." Ye Jingyu repeated.

"Hold on, let him in," Lan Ling appeared.

Ye Jingyu said, "No, it's a trap."

Ye Jingyu was so angry that she trembled all over. She couldn't imagine how despicable and evil a person could be.

"Despicable people use despicable means, and noble people have noble principles," Lan Ling said. "Although I am not a noble person, our mentor Nia has done us a favor. We cannot stand by and let her be destroyed."

With that, Lan Ling turned and walked into the chapel of the Earl's mansion to find his sister, Suoning Bing, who was praying there.

...

Eight hours later, under Ye Jingyu's protection, Lan Ling left the Earl's mansion and got into a carriage to head to the Marquis Jianyong's mansion.

Around the carriage, there were thirty Su family warriors guarding.

Half an hour later, Lan Ling arrived outside the Marquis Jianyong's mansion.

Jianyong's title was granted by the royal family, so although he was a marquis, his mansion was not as large as the Earl of Tianshui's, but it was closer to the royal palace, indicating a higher status.

At this moment, the gates of the Marquis Jianyong's mansion were open, with people constantly coming and going, appearing very busy.

Moreover, doctors frequently came out, looking dejected.

Lan Ling stepped forward and said, "Inform your master that Suo Lun has come to visit."

Immediately, a retainer glanced at him coldly and said, "Only you can go in, the others must wait outside."

"No," Ye Jingyu stepped forward and said, "I must go in with my master."

"Then I'm sorry, Suo Lun doesn't need to go in either," the retainer said, then turned away.

"If I don't go in, I don't go in," Ye Jingyu was glad that Lan Ling wouldn't go in.

Lan Ling smiled at her and said, "Wait for me outside."

Ye Jingyu was startled and said, "No."

"Don't worry, I promise nothing will happen. Not only will I come out unscathed, but I will also give that beast Jian Ning a good beating," Lan Ling said to Ye Jingyu, then turned and walked into the marquis's mansion.

The retainer's face flashed with a sinister smile, while Ye Jingyu's face turned pale, as if the marquis's mansion was truly a den of tigers and wolves.

...

The performance at the Marquis Jianyong's mansion was quite convincing.

The atmosphere in the entire mansion was like the heavy clouds before a storm. Numerous doctors and healers were coming and going, and the smell of medicine seemed to permeate everywhere.

All the servants walked quietly, their faces grave and slightly panicked.

In short, they wanted everyone to see that the Marquis Jianyong's mansion was doing everything possible to save Lady Nia.

Led by the retainer, Lan Ling came to the back garden of the marquis's mansion, where the smell of medicine was strong even from a distance.

"Worthless, all of you are worthless. If you can't cure my wife, I'll kill you," a man's voice roared from inside, sounding like an injured wild beast. This must be Nia's husband, Jian Ning, really putting on a good act.

"Little Marquis, Master Suo Lun has arrived," the retainer outside said.

I recommend a good friend's book, "The Interweaving of Light and Shadow in Korean Entertainment." This author's books push female celebrities like a bulldozer.
