After Her Divorce, She Escaped With A Strong Man To Farm

63 Is He Still Holding a Grudge?

“Report? Haven’t you had enough? Let’s run, this is our only chance.”

“That’s right. If we don’t escape now, you won’t have another chance. Do you want to be a prostitute who’s ridden by thousands of people and suppressed by tens of thousands for the rest of your life?”

The girls of the Jadeite Tower were eager to get out of this nightmarish fate. Now that they had a chance, they quickly went back to their rooms to pack their valuable items and changed into ordinary women’s clothes before escaping the Jadeite Tower together.

The old woman and the pimp watched the girls run away. They couldn’t say any threatening words with their mouths gagged, so they could only grunt at them and glare at them to scare them.

!!

The girls had a heartfelt fear of the old woman and the henchmen. They were so scared that they didn’t even dare to watch them run out of the Jadeite Tower with their heads lowered.

The pedestrians on the street watched as a group of girls ran out of the Jadeite Tower, followed by another group. No one knew what had happened. They all gathered around to watch the show, feeling anxious for those girls in their hearts. If they were caught, only death would await them.

The Jadeite Tower was run by the magistrate, and the Lieutenant who was guarding the city was the brother-in-law of the magistrate. Even if they could run, they couldn’t escape his control.

Ji Shuisheng didn’t know that after he left, the girls of Jadeite Tower rebelled. He asked around all the way to the government office and saw a sea of people outside the government office. He didn’t know what had happened inside.

Ji Shuisheng only hesitated for a moment before he strode towards the backyard of the government office. If young master Guo had captured Su Qing and Ji Xiaoying, he would not have brought them to the government office. He would definitely have brought them home.

He couldn’t alert the people from the government either. The other party had more manpower, and it was best to be cautious before they found Su Qing and Ji Xiaoying.

Ji Shuisheng came to the back alley. Perhaps the county magistrate was afraid of revenge because he had done too many bad things. The wall of the backyard was more than three meters high and there were bamboo thorns to prevent people from jumping in. The door of the backyard was tightly closed and there was no place to climb the doorkeeper.

However, this was not a problem for Ji Shuisheng. He grew up in the mountains and was skilled in martial arts. No matter how tall the wall was, it was not a difficult thing for him. Moreover, he had also learned qinggong from his foster father.

Ji Shuisheng made some preparations and planned to jump over the wall to enter, but before he could jump up, the courtyard door of the backyard opened. Many servant girls and old maidservants ran out from inside. They were all carrying large and small bags and looked frightened as if they were running for their lives.

Seeing that Ji Shuisheng and the rest were so frightened that they did not dare to move, Ji Shuisheng felt that something was wrong and asked with a sullen face, “What are you doing?”

“Please spare us, Sir! We didn’t take part in the outrageous things that county magistrate Guo did. We’re just ordinary people.”

Chef Guo knelt on the ground and pleaded for mercy from Ji Shuisheng with a pale face.

“Milord, can you let us go? We don’t know anything.”

When the maidservants behind him saw Chef Guo kneel down, they also followed suit and knelt down to beg for mercy from Ji Shuisheng.

“No one is allowed to leave. Put down your things. I’m going to conduct a raid.”

Li Wu had been sent to the backyard with a guard with a knife. When he saw the servants trying to escape with their things, he pointed his knife at them and ordered them.

“Hey! Why are you here, Mr. Ji? ”

When Li Wu saw Ji Shuisheng, he was stunned. When they left the station, Ji Shuisheng was still sound asleep like a log.

Why did he suddenly appear in the backyard of the county magistrate’s house?

“I’m here to look for Su Qing and my sister.”

Ji Shuisheng looked at Li Wu’s guarded expression. He was still not sure if Li Wu had any connection with county magistrate Guo. He also did not understand what was going on with the raid that was mentioned just now.

“They and my master are in the main hall for the case trial. Don’t worry, they’re safe.”

When he heard that Ji Shuisheng was here to look for Su Qing and Ji Xiaoying, Li Wu smiled. It just so happened that they were short of manpower. Ji Shushing was tall and capable, so he could help.

“I’ll go take a look.”

When Ji Shuisheng heard that his sister and Su Qing were in the lobby, he was burning with anxiety and wanted to confirm whether they were safe.

“Alright. Please go and check if they’re fine. I hope they can come and help us to confiscate the property of county magistrate Guo.”

Li Wu smiled and nodded. He knew that Ji Shuisheng wouldn’t believe anything he said. He had to see with his own eyes that Su Qing and Ji Xiaoying were safe.

“Yes.”

Ji Shuisheng was very willing to help with this task. It was very satisfying to investigate and confiscate the corrupt officials, especially since the son of the corrupt official was coveting Ji Xiaoying and Su Qing. That was even more unforgivable.

Ji Shuisheng rushed to the front of the mansion. With his thick arms and great strength, he easily pushed his way to the front of the line.

With a single glance, he could see Old Master Qin sitting in the main hall, as well as Su Qing and Ji Xiaoying standing beside him. The old man’s imposing manner shocked everyone present.

Su Qing’s expression was cold as he stood there expressionlessly. Ji Xiaoying’s eyes were wide with excitement as she looked at everything in the hall.

Ji Shuisheng’s hanging heart was finally at ease. He recalled that he had been drugged and unconscious by Su Qing for the entire night. This woman was extremely daring and dared to do anything.

Su Qing stood in the lobby and watched Old Master Qin work. Suddenly, she felt an angry gaze on her. She looked up with a cold face and saw a tall figure standing at the entrance of the lobby.

Su Qing was stunned. How did he wake up so quickly?

Seeing that Su Qing had already seen him and even had a flash of surprise in her eyes, Ji Shuisheng gritted his teeth and strode into the lobby, directly walking towards Su Qing.

“We’ll wait behind?”

The guards that Old Master Qin brought with him pulled out their knives and stopped Ji Shuisheng. They were handling a case here and the ground was full of victims. Even if they wanted to report the case, there had to be a first come, first served basis. Thus, they came to drive Ji Shuisheng away and made him line up at the back.

“Brother.”

“Brother!” Ji Xiaoying shouted excitedly when she saw Ji Shuisheng and ran towards her brother with light steps.

Old Master Qin was working on a case. When he saw Ji Xiaoying jumping around in front of Ji Shuisheng, he shook his head helplessly and could not bear to scold her.

Instead, he cast his gaze on Ji Shuisheng. A flash of disappointment appeared in the old man’s eyes. The last time, he had only met him in a hurry and did not take a close look. Now that he was close enough, he saw that the man’s age did not match.

He looked like he was in his thirties, while his godgrandson should only be nineteen years old if he was still alive. The age difference was too big.

The old man’s heart ached again, and his eyes turned red. It seemed that he had been overthinking it. The two children had fallen into the mountain stream after being chased by the soldiers. How could they have survived?

Ji Shuisheng pulled his sister back to stop her from making a ruckus in the lobby. Only then did Ji Xiaoying realize that she had disturbed Old Master Qin’s work. She turned back nervously and lowered her eyes to secretly look at Old Master Qin, her eyes filled with guilt.

Old Master Qin’s eyes were dazed when he saw Ji Xiaoying’s guilty look. She bore a strong resemblance to Ling’er, and her every move was exactly the same as Ling’er’s.

Ji Shuisheng still remembered that he had promised Li Wu to help with the crackdown, so he brought his sister out of the hall. Because he was angry with Su Qing, he only glanced at her and did not call her.

Su Qing looked at Ji Shuisheng’s back and found it funny. ‘He still holds a grudge against me? Doesn’t he know that I had saved him?’
