They thought General Shenwei was coming.
However, in fact, it was only a steward from General Shenwei's mansion who came.
The butler and his men rushed over fiercely. He glanced at Yan Xiaoshu first, then at the remaining women, and said to the men behind him: "The general said that there is no need for extra women. Come here and give me some." These women were buried alive!”
Yan Xiaoshu's eyes widened immediately, thinking that he heard wrongly.
No matter how much this dynasty doesn't value women or human life, it shouldn't be to the point of suddenly burying people alive!
Huadie, Jiang Li, Su Chun and Su Hong all turned purple. Except for Huadie who was quieter, the other three women had already screamed.
"Don't... don't bury us alive!"
"What did we do wrong? Don't do this!"
"We are willing to do whatever it takes, and I beg the steward to help us plead with the general!"
Suddenly, the backyard became a bit chaotic, and Yan Xiaoshu took a step back, a little scared.
The place where people were buried alive reminded her of Miracle Island. Nan Jintian might actually live here. The actions of this mighty general were so similar to Nan Jintian.
"Xiao Shu, please save us!" Hua Die shed tears when she saw that the housekeeper had started dragging people away, so she had to look at Yan Xiaoshu to ask for help.
Although she knew that Yan Xiaoshu was just a woman who had just entered the general's mansion and had nothing, she had no choice but to grab her life-saving straw and ask for help.
Yan Xiaoshu didn't think she could save them, but now, she had to try hard.
Yan Xiaoshu suddenly rushed over and pulled open the butler's arm, pulled Huadie out of the butler's hand, and said: "I... you can't do this!"
The housekeeper looked at Hua Die funnyly, "Why can't we do this? This is General Shenwei's mansion, the general's territory, and the general's people can do whatever they want."
"But they were sent by the emperor as a reward to General Shenwei. Strictly speaking, they are the emperor's people. If you just bury them alive like this, how are you going to explain to the emperor!"
The housekeeper burst out laughing, "Do you think the Emperor cares about such a few civilian women? The Emperor cares about General Shenwei. He will applaud them no matter how General Shenwei wants to punish them!"
"But even if the emperor is applauding on the surface, he is still unhappy in his heart. After all, General Shenwei broke the things the emperor gave him!" Yan Xiaodata argued rationally.
"Shut up!" Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, the housekeeper became angry. "If the general says that you died of illness or something, do you think anyone will know that you were buried alive?"
"Then... then this is deceiving the emperor!" Yan Xiaoshu thought of the crime of deceiving the emperor, and suddenly felt confident, and took a step towards the butler, "The crime of deceiving the emperor requires beheading, can you bear it?"
When he heard about the crime of deceiving the emperor, the steward was so frightened that he took a step back.
But for a moment, the housekeeper thought of the majesty of General Shenwei, and was no longer afraid. He directly pushed Yan Xiaoshu away and said, "Get away from me. This matter has nothing to do with you. If you dare to stop me again, believe it or not, I will beat you up!"
"I don't believe it!" Yan Xiaoshu snorted, "I am the person personally selected by General Shenwei. You must entertain me well and beat me up? I think you don't want to live anymore. If the general sees me covered in bruises, you Guess who’s dying?”
As soon as Yan Xiaoshu said this, the housekeeper immediately gritted his teeth, "You... you!" He was blocked by Yan Xiaoshu and couldn't say a word.
The housekeeper really didn't dare to do anything to Yan Xiaoshu. After all, General Shenwei chose her personally. He might really like her. After hesitating for a long time, the housekeeper called his men behind him to hold Yan Xiaoshu directly. "You hold her, and the others will hold her." Drag these four women away!"
"No!" Yan Xiaoshu was anxious. These people really didn't listen to either soft or hard words!
"You can't help but say no." The housekeeper no longer cared about Yan Xiaoshu and wanted to drag the person away and bury him alive.
"Decimals! Decimals! Wuwu...save us..." Huadie was crying because of the fear of death. The delicate makeup she had put on when she was here had all been ruined.
Yan Xiaoshu suddenly felt sad, and the women living here were even more victims of this sadness.
"Stop!" Yan Xiaoshu suddenly shouted to them, "If you continue to pull them one step further, I will bite my tongue and commit suicide!"
Yan Xiaoshu was still a little nervous when she said this. She stared at the housekeeper without moving.
But in fact, it is more difficult to commit suicide by biting your tongue. She has read relevant books about ancient punishment and death before. As mentioned above, biting your tongue is the most difficult, painful and torturous method of suicide.
You might bite your tongue and it hurts but you don't die. You might also bite your tongue artery and end up suffering to death. It's too bloody. If Yan Xiaoshu had to choose, she would never choose this method of suicide. But now that someone has Holding her arm, she couldn't think of any other way, so she had to choose this one out of desperation.
Yan Xiaoshu looked at the housekeeper nervously, hoping that he would not really confront her and make her really bite her tongue...
She hoped that the housekeeper would care about General Shenwei's face at least. After all, she was the woman chosen by General Shenwei. Yan Xiaoshu suddenly felt that General Shenwei had almost become her patron saint.
After a stalemate, the housekeeper finally refused to let her bite her tongue, let go of Huadie and the others, gritted her teeth and looked at Yan Xiaoshu, "You will not get the general's favor if you go against his wishes like this."
Yan Xiaoshu breathed a sigh of relief. Huadie and the others were saved for the time being. She thought about it and said, "I want to see the general and tell him clearly."
The butler hesitated, "The general didn't say he wanted to see you now."
"Butler, don't worry. After I see the general about what happened today, I will tell him that I insisted on keeping them here. If the general blames them, it will be entirely my responsibility and has nothing to do with you."
After hearing this, the housekeeper felt relieved and asked his men to step back, "Miss Yan is aware of current affairs. In this case, I will reluctantly help you inform the general. If he really doesn't want to see you and still plans to If you execute these four women, then no one can save them, including you."
The housekeeper didn't mean to scare her. If General Shenwei didn't plan to spare Huadie and the others, he would be very unhappy because Yan Xiaoshu stopped him, so he would blame Yan Xiaoshu.
Yan Xiaoshu swallowed and said "hmm" to the housekeeper.
The butler then left to inform General Shenwei.
As soon as the housekeeper left, Huadie and the others ran over crying and hugged Yan Xiaoshu, still trembling with fear, "Xiaoshu, thank you so much..."
