The maidservant had somehow put on the young lady's clothes. She was being forced into a corner by a man in black with a long sword. The young master who had come with her was nowhere to be seen.

The man in black was covering his face. The cold moonlight reflected on the edge of the three-foot-long sword was blinding.

The passersby all shook their heads and sighed, hastening their steps towards Chang Ning Lane. If a Clay Buddha was unable to protect itself after crossing the river, how could it have the heart to care about others?

”Let's go, let's go! It's already good enough that we can survive until daybreak. How can we still care about him?”

”Oh, yes. ”You can only blame the lord of Yuzhou. If he didn't hold such an extremely enjoyable banquet, those young masters, who don't treat people as human beings, wouldn't be so rampant.”

The maid's thin dress had already been torn apart by someone, revealing a snow-white undergarment underneath. She looked at the passing pedestrians in despair, her eyes overflowing with hatred.

”Help me, why isn't anyone coming?”

The man in black laughed sinisterly, ”Look, this is human nature. ”Don't even think about struggling anymore. No one will save you. It's your fortune that the Lord is willing to show mercy to you.”

Luo Lingwei gritted her teeth and took the crossbow from the puppet's hand, exchanging the points of experience to shoot at the man in black.

In front of all the wrong things, that tiny bit of disgust was not worth mentioning. She could not ruin the rest of her life because of her own selfish desire.

Han Yu leaned against the wall, staring coldly at her movements. ”You won't be able to save her.”

”Then I still want to try.” Luo Lingwei refuted.

She could not stand by and allow a weak girl to be killed.

She stretched out her hand as if she wanted to rub Luo Lingwei's head, but then quietly pulled it back and muttered, ”You are very similar to her in this aspect.”

They always had their own bottom line, and always had the heart of a virgin.

As she looked down at her hands, which were covered in calluses, she felt sad that she had forgotten her original appearance after wandering for so many years.

Luo Lingwei knew that she was talking about the mother of the original owner — Qiu Xi.

No one knew what the puppet's crossbow bolt had touched, but even though Luo Lingwei had missed, the black-clothed man's eyes still fell to the ground.

The young maid looked on helplessly as the black clothed man died before her eyes. His entire body was trembling as he stood in a corner, hugging her as he trembled in his embrace.

Luo Lingwei took off her outer robe and covered her with it. Fortunately, the Golden Night Banquet was a grand occasion. In order to maintain the dignity of an imperial concubine, she had worn layers upon layers of clothing.

Otherwise, if the young maid wore a tattered set of clothes, who knew what kind of people would covet her.

”How are you?” Luo Lingwei extended her hand towards the young maid and asked as gently as possible.

Han Yu's usually cold heart quivered, then he mocked himself for being naive. With Luo Lingwei's stupidity, losing her protection was the same as the young maid's fate. She would not be able to live past dawn.

Even though he thought this way, he still kicked away the body of the black clothed man and stood behind Luo Lingwei, constantly observing the surroundings to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to launch a sneak attack.

She didn't expect that the young maid would directly throw herself at Han Yu's feet, wiping away her tears and tightly hugging his thigh without letting go.

”Young master, please take me away! I beg you, if there is no Young Noble, I will die! ” The young maid cried her heart out as she looked up at Han Yu with a pitiful expression.

Luo Lingwei was suddenly a little disappointed. It wasn't that she was disappointed by the young maid's attitude, but that she had no dignity at all and that she was going to do anything to survive.

”Are we going to take her away?” Luo Lingwei could not bear to see this, but in the team, she had no right to speak.
