The other servants also shouted in unison and made their moves one after another.

Armas showed no fear, and said as he defended himself: "I learned martial arts when I was in Parthia. You are no match for me!"

A servant shouted, "Don't be so arrogant, we will never let you succeed!"

Armas snorted coldly, and his moves suddenly became fierce. His fists were whistling, and he got into a fierce melee with the servants.

The two sides fought back and forth, and it was difficult to determine the winner for a while. The sound of fists and feet fighting echoed in the silent courtyard.

After a while, Armas seized an opportunity, exerted his strength suddenly, and successfully broke through the siege of the servants.

He ran for his life towards the distance like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.

The servants were chasing after him relentlessly, but Armas was so fast that they gradually ran out of energy and the distance between them was getting farther and farther. In the end, they could only watch Armas disappear into the night.

Armas ran all the way, not daring to stop for a moment, and soon arrived at the gate.

At this time, because the deep yard was far away from the main gate, the gatekeeper was completely unaware of the thrilling battle that had just taken place in the yard.

At this moment, he saw Armas running out in a panic, and he couldn't help feeling very surprised. He scratched his head, walked forward with a puzzled look on his face, and was about to ask: "You are..."

Armas kept walking and just replied perfunctorily: "I have something to do. I need to go out for a while."

His eyes were wandering, he didn't dare to look the doorman in the eye, and his steps became more and more hurried, as if something terrible was chasing him.

The doorman looked at Armas's hurried back, which was soon swallowed up by the night.

He was full of doubts and stood there in a daze for a long time.

This Armas seemed a little mysterious when he came, and now he leaves in such a hurry, which is really unreasonable.

At this moment, several servants ran out quickly. They looked panicked and rushed straight to the gatehouse, asking anxiously, "Where did that man go just now?"

The concierge was startled by the scene and quickly replied, "He went out. He said he had something to do."

A servant was immediately furious and stepped forward to scold the doorman: "Why didn't you stop him? Now he has caused the lady to jump into the well. What should we do now?"

When the concierge heard this, his eyes widened in shock, his face full of disbelief, and he quickly asked, "What's going on?"

But the servants had no time to pay attention to him. They hurried out in a hurry, shouting as they chased: "We must find that guy, we can't let him get away!"

Only the gatekeeper was left standing there, full of anxiety and confusion, worried about the sudden change in the mansion.

After a while, the concierge became more and more frightened, and his heart was beating fast. He was the one who brought the man in. If something really happened to him, what would he do? He could not bear the responsibility.

He paced back and forth, anxious and frightened.

After a while, several servants came in dejected and angry.

They ran a long circle outside, exhausted and out of breath, but they didn't catch up with the person at all, not even a hair of him.

The few of them were so angry that they didn't bother to talk to the gatekeeper. They went straight into the yard, cursing and muttering, "That guy got away so fast. Don't let us catch him, or he will be in trouble!"

Seeing this, the doorman dared not say a word. He shrank his neck and became more and more uneasy. He just hoped that this matter would not involve him too much.

Several servants gathered in the yard, one of them was named Wang Hu.

Wang Hu said to everyone, "In fact, my wife jumped into the well and is probably dead. There is no point for us to stay here. Why don't we all go home?"

After hearing this, the other servants looked at each other and hesitated for a moment before someone said, "Shouldn't we fish the lady out? After all, she is the mistress of this mansion. It would be inappropriate to just leave her alone."

Wang Hu snorted coldly and said with disdain: "Do you still remember how Madam treated us in the past? We suffered a lot from her back then."

These servants had bullied Linglong in the past. Later, when Linglong came to power, they naturally took revenge on us.

Now that she has ended up like this, why should she still be loyal to Linglong?

After hearing what Wang Hu said, everyone fell into deep thought. Thinking back to the days when Linglong had made things difficult for them in the past, they gradually began to have different thoughts in their hearts.

They only cared about the fact that Linglong had taken revenge on them, but completely forgot that they were the ones who bullied Linglong in the first place.

Seeing this, Wang Hu continued to persuade: "So you should leave now. Besides, there is no owner in the mansion now, and no one will pay us. If we waste any more time, we will starve."

The other people thought about it and realized that this was the case, so they all started to pack up their things.

After a while, the concierge saw some people carrying bags and walking out of the mansion. He was very surprised and hurriedly stopped one of them and asked, "What's going on? Where are you going?"

The man glanced at the doorman impatiently and said with a pout, "The lady is dead, why are you still staying here? You are just stupid, you insist on staying here. Humph, we don't want to waste time here, we have to find another way out quickly, and you, don't be stupid, pack up and leave as soon as possible."

After saying that, he shook off the doorman's hand and left quickly without looking back.

After hearing this, the doorman stood there in a daze, feeling mixed emotions. Looking at the departing figures, he was at a loss for a moment, not knowing what to do next.

But the doorman felt that no matter what, he was still a servant here and had to fulfill his duties. He had to check the situation at the scene. After all, didn’t they say that the lady jumped into the well?
So he hurried to the well to take a look.

When they reached the well, the porter shouted down into the well: "Madam, Madam!"

After a while, Linglong's weak voice came from inside: "Quick... quick, save me up."

The concierge was overjoyed, realizing that the lady was not dead. He quickly responded, "Don't worry, ma'am. Wait, I'll go get a ladder to save you."

Having said that, he turned around in a hurry and ran to the place where sundries were stored in the yard. He was only thinking about rescuing Linglong as soon as possible, and he didn't care about the servants who had already left one after another.

The janitor finally found a ladder and quickly lowered it down the well.

At this moment, Linglong was very weak because of the fall. She shouted weakly: "I... I can't stand up anymore. I don't have the strength to climb up. Please come down and save me."

The doorman couldn't bear to refuse, so he gritted his teeth and agreed. He carefully climbed down the ladder to the well, thinking about rescuing his wife first.

The doorman reached the bottom and took great effort to help Linglong get closer to the ladder, but it was indeed a bit difficult to climb up.

Linglong panted weakly and said to him, "Let's get someone to come over. One of them can hold the ladder while you carry me up. That's the only way."

After hearing this, the doorman felt a little embarrassed. He stood there scratching his head, thinking that most of the servants in the mansion had left, and he wondered if there was anyone else left.

Linglong was very thoughtful. She noticed his hesitation, smiled bitterly, and asked, "Did a lot of people think I was dead and ran away?"

The concierge looked embarrassed, not knowing how to respond, and just nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Linglong's eyes flashed with a trace of loneliness, but she didn't care about sighing. She sighed, her face full of helplessness, and slowly said: "I have taken revenge on them before, it is normal for them to hate me. Well, how about this, you carry me on your back and go up slowly."

Seeing there was no other way, the doorman had to agree. He bent down, carefully carried Linglong on his back, and began to climb the ladder.

After climbing a few steps, the concierge said to Linglong, "Madam, why don't you hold on tight? I'll have to hold on to the ladder later, and I may not be able to take care of you."

Linglong hurriedly hugged him tightly and said weakly but firmly: "Just be careful, we will go up slowly." The doorman responded and concentrated on holding the ladder, moving up step by step with difficulty. Beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, and he only hoped to send Linglong back to the ground safely as soon as possible.

After a lot of trouble, the two men finally reached the wellhead.

At this time, the doorman was already exhausted and out of breath, with beads of sweat on his forehead and he was breathing heavily.

Linglong lay weakly on the doorman's back, slowly raised her head and looked at the moon in the sky. The moon was bright and clear, casting a silvery glow, which was indeed very beautiful.

But at this moment she had no mood to appreciate it. She was just glad that she had saved her life, and kept thinking about what to do next.

Linglong said to the doorman: "You have done a great job today. I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

The doorman quickly responded, "Madam, as a servant, this is what I should do. How can I ask for anything in return? But you are injured now. How about I carry you to the room first, and then I will ask a doctor to take a look at you."

Linglong couldn't help crying after hearing this, and said in a sobbing voice: "If all the servants leave, there will be only a few people left in this huge mansion, and I will be scared to stay alone. You should quickly find Butler Xu, I will feel more at ease with him around."

The concierge thought for a moment and said, "Madam, let's take you back to your room first. You can't stand the torture now."

After hearing this, Linglong smiled bitterly, wiped her tears, and said, "Yes, I am almost confused. Let's go back to the room first, and we can deal with everything after we get back."

Having said that, she hugged the doorman tightly again, and the doorman carried Linglong on his back and slowly walked towards the room.

After entering the room, the concierge gently placed Linglong on the bed and carefully tucked her in. Then he said, "Madam, please take a rest first. I will go find Butler Xu right away."

After saying that, he turned around and quickly walked out of the room.

The doorman hurried to where Butler Xu lived, knocked on the door, and called out a few times, but the room was quiet and there was no response at all.

He pushed the door open and went in. He saw that the room was empty. Butler Xu was not there at all. The doorman's heart skipped a beat. This was a bit tricky. He didn't know where Butler Xu had gone, and how should he explain to his wife? He stood there in a dilemma for a moment.

The doorman was anxious and searched the whole yard for Butler Xu. After searching for a long time, he finally came to the guest room, but saw a door open.

He felt strange, so he quickened his pace and walked in. As soon as he stepped into the room, he suddenly smelled a peculiar smell. The smell was slightly bloody, which gave him an ominous premonition.

Then he looked down at the ground and saw bloodstains on it. He was shocked by the scene.

He hurriedly looked around and finally found Xu Dabao under the bed. Xu Dabao was lying there with a pale face and lifeless.

The doorman reached out his hand tremblingly to feel Xu Dabao's breath. He was struck by lightning when he learned that Xu Dabao was dead. He was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and then he could no longer control himself and screamed.

The sound echoed in the silent yard, sounding particularly harsh.

After screaming, he ran towards Linglong's room, shouting as he ran: "Madam, it's bad, Butler Xu...he's dead!"

He came to Linglong's room panting. Before he could recover, Linglong asked hurriedly, "What's going on? Have you found Butler Xu?"

The doorman gasped heavily, his face was pale, and he stammered as he told the story of Xu Dabao's death.

At this moment, Linglong seemed to have been electrocuted. Her whole body froze suddenly, her eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief.

Then, she felt a surge of blood rushing to her head, and she was so angry that her eyes went dark. Her body swayed and she fainted, falling straight back onto the bed.

The concierge was so frightened that he rushed forward and shouted anxiously: "Madam, madam, please wake up!"

When the doorman saw Linglong fainted, he had no other options and had to rush out to ask for a doctor.

But now, almost all the men in the mansion have left, and the remaining women only take care of the internal affairs of the house on weekdays, and they are of no help in such an emergency.

The doorman sighed helplessly, his heart full of worry and anxiety, then carefully locked the door of Linglong's room, thinking that no more accidents could happen. Then he ran out of the house, hoping to get a doctor as soon as possible to get his lady out of danger.

That night, Xi Yu tossed and turned in bed. Somehow he couldn't fall asleep, as if something was bothering him.

He simply got up, put on a coat, and walked to the study.

After entering the study, he lit a candle. The dim candlelight swayed gently in the silent night, illuminating his slightly lonely figure.

He walked to the bookshelf, picked up a book at random, then sat down at the desk, slowly turned the pages, and began to read in the dim light, trying to immerse himself in the world of the book and forget the inexplicable thoughts that lingered in his mind and made it difficult for him to fall asleep.

After reading for a while, he gradually felt sleepy and fell asleep.

And that night, he had a very strange dream. The scene in the dream was indescribably weird.

He found himself in a wilderness, surrounded by overgrown grass. The cold wind whistled past, making a rustling sound.

I saw Linglong running in panic in front, her hair disheveled and her face full of fear. She shouted "Help" as she ran. The voice echoed in the empty wilderness, and she seemed particularly helpless.

Behind her, there were many people chasing her like ferocious monsters, each with a vicious look on their face, as if they wanted to eat Linglong alive.

Seeing this, Xi Yu became extremely anxious and subconsciously wanted to rush over to protect Linglong. However, he was horrified to find that his body seemed to be restrained by something. No matter how hard he tried or how he struggled, he could not move.

He could only watch Linglong getting farther and farther away from him, while the person chasing her was getting closer and closer.

He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but there was nothing he could do. He could only continue to be trapped in the same place in this anxiety and helplessness.

After a while, Xi Yu woke up from his dream. His eyes were still a little dazed and his mind was not very clear. For a moment, he could not tell whether it was morning or late at night.

He sat on the bed, rubbed his eyes, and relaxed for a long time. Then he gradually came to his senses and found that it was still pitch black outside. It turned out to be late at night.

Recalling the dream he had just had, he couldn't help but frown and wondered in his heart that the dream was really strange. How could he dream of such a scene?

Linglong was so panicked and crying for help in her dream, but I was powerless to do anything. What does this mean?

He was completely puzzled and sat on the bed for a long time, and his sleepiness was completely gone.

At this moment, Xiaohong suddenly ran hurriedly in the yard and ran straight towards Xiyu's room.

Xi Yu heard the noise and quickly opened the door. He asked her in confusion, "What are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xiao Hong ran out of breath, and while holding the door frame to catch her breath, she said, "Looking at the situation, the young lady is about to give birth."

When Xi Yu heard this, he smiled instantly, his eyes full of anticipation, and said, "This is really good news. But haven't you already hired a midwife recently? Everything should be arranged properly."

Xiao Hong nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, the mansion has already arranged everything. But I saw that the light was on in your room, Prime Minister, and I thought you might not be asleep yet, so I came to tell you."

Xiyu smiled and said to Xiaohong: "Just go back, I understand."

Xiaohong responded and turned back.

Xiyu always had a smile on his face and he was so happy in his heart, thinking that he would soon become a father for the second time, and he was looking forward to the upcoming new life.

He hasn't been as happy as he is today for a long time. (End of this chapter)
