My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 165 Where is Madam going?
Lu Youtiao's gaze fell on the two guards in front of her. Everyone in the mansion knew Yang Fang's current attitude towards her.

These two were recruited by me back then. The fact that Qiuyue and Dongshuang have come to see me these days must be because of their help. It's clear they are not ungrateful people.

The two brothers exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and made way for each other.

During this time, the master forbade the calling of a doctor, the delivery of food, and the approach of anyone to the courtyard, showing that he was determined to take the lady's life.

The servants in the courtyard weren't blind; they saw everything.

Normally, people like them could just pretend to be blind, but they have never forgotten the kindness of the lady. Otherwise, they would not have taken on the task of guarding the courtyard at night and secretly let Qiuyue and Dongshuang into the house.

If the lady runs away, they might be beaten black and blue, or even lose their lives.

But if the lady stays here, she will surely die.

They hadn't read many books, but they understood a few principles: in the capital, there weren't many masters as kind-hearted as the lady, and there was no reason why kind-hearted people should be bullied.

The older one couldn't help but add, "Madam, once you leave the manor, don't look back."

Gu Xingzhao was surprised. He looked at the two brothers and then at Lu Youtiao. It seemed that in the past few years, she, Madam Yang, had won the hearts of many.

The old man's granddaughter is wonderful in every way, except for her poor eyesight. If she had better eyesight, he wouldn't have had to come all this way today.

Qiuyue and Dongshuang breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if a fight really broke out, they would fight to the death for the girl, but the key was that they were no match for the Fang brothers.

Ever since discovering the other side of her husband, Lu Youtiao has become disillusioned with the Yang family, despite having been kind to the Fang brothers.

Seeing their genuine help, she was deeply moved. "Thank you."

The two brothers smiled bitterly. If they let the lady out, they knew that once the master found out, they, the guards, would be torn to pieces.

Lu Youtiao took out a wooden box from behind her and handed it out.

Gu Xingzhao was immediately curious. The wooden box was what Lu Youtiao had asked him to retrieve from under the bed in a locked room in a courtyard when she was writing the divorce papers.

What could be the silver notes that Lu Youtiao was still thinking about retrieving when she left?

Qiuyue and Dongshuang were both stunned when they saw the familiar wooden box, and looked at their master in surprise.

The two brothers looked blankly at each other.

Lu Youtiao said in a deep voice, "What's inside are your original indentures. Whether you stay here or leave is up to you."

Before entering the Yang family, servants would sign indentures. Indentures were divided into live indentures and dead indentures. Live indentures could be redeemed, while dead indentures were recorded in the government, making the servant a slave for life, and their children would also become slaves.

These servants were all purchased with her dowry; there was absolutely no reason for her to leave them to the Yang family.

She originally intended to bribe the two men with a contract of indenture, but she didn't expect them to reciprocate with sincerity, so she simply gave them the contract.

Upon hearing this, the Fang brothers' eyes lit up with joy, and they both knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you for your great kindness, Madam!"

The contract they signed was a flexible one; once they retrieved the indenture, they would regain their freedom.

The two brothers took the box and opened it, trying to find their two cards. Although they were illiterate, they still recognized their own names. After taking out their two cards, they returned the box to Lu Youtiao, their faces beaming with joy.

Lu Youtiao carefully put away the box, and the three of them, master and servant, prepared to leave the courtyard.

The Fang brothers suddenly said, "Madam, we brothers are strong and capable, we'll escort you out of the manor tonight!" Qiu Yue and Dong Shuang were overjoyed, this was wonderful!
Gu Xingzhao stood to the side, smiling as he watched Lu Youtiao. Although her eyesight was poor, she was clever enough to hide the indentures that controlled the servants of the Yang family.

A group of people escorted Lu Youtiao out of the courtyard, heading from the backyard to the frontyard.

The Fang brothers originally wanted to escort them out through the back door, but Lu Youtiao insisted on going through the front yard. They were anxious, but they couldn't object, so they could only follow.

Lu Youtiao was actually nervous, but with her ancestor by her side, she calmed herself down.

Upon discovering that Lu Youtiao had left the courtyard, the servants rushed to spread the word.

When the servants relayed the message, Yang Fang was with Fu Liangyi, touching her slightly protruding belly, his eyes full of tenderness.

“Yi’er, I know you mind Lu Youtiao. Once you give birth to a son, I will make you my second wife. She is seriously ill now and her days are numbered. At that time, you will be in charge of this household.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Liangyi's eyes lit up with joy. "Really?"

Yang Fang nodded, comforting her.

Just then, a servant rushed in with a message, "It's terrible, sir! Madam is trying to leave the manor with several servants, and we can't stop her!"

Yang Fang suddenly stood up, his eyes changing instantly. "Yi'er, you rest first, I'll go take a look."

Fu Liangyi nodded obediently and watched Yang Fang leave.

In the courtyard, Yang Fang gave the servants a severe dressing-down, "I've raised a bunch of useless people, you can't even stop a sickly child!"

A chill flashed in his eyes. He never expected Lu Youtiao to be so lucky. She had been poisoned and fasted for half a month, yet she was still alive and causing trouble.

Inside the room, after hearing the hurried footsteps fade away, Fu Liangyi, who was by the window, walked back to the table, sat down, picked up the water on the table, drank it, and smiled slightly.

It seems those two maids are quite loyal; they didn't let Lu Youtiao starve to death, and now she can even leave the manor.

Outside, a maid came in to change the water. She noticed the smile on Fu Liangyi's lips and was somewhat surprised, but upon closer inspection, there was no smile at all.

Fu Liangyi looked at the water in her glass and recalled the first time she saw Lu Youtiao. She had never seen such a foolish woman. She was born into a good family and had a beautiful face, but she was fooled by a man's true feelings and ended up in this mess.

If I were to become the granddaughter of this Grand Secretary, I wouldn't even look at any official's wife. She would have to be at least a high-ranking concubine in the palace to be worthy of such a good background.

Thinking of this, Fu Liangyi sighed almost imperceptibly, regretting that he didn't have such a good background.

At this moment, all the old women and maids in the mansion rushed to stop them in the front courtyard, but they couldn't bear to really stop them. They pretended to push and shove, and pushed Lu Youtiao and her servants to the front hall, almost to the point of leaving the mansion.

At this moment, Yang Fang appeared with several guards. "Madam!"

The servants nearby quickly moved aside.

Lu Youtiao stiffened. She hadn't seen Yang Fang for half a month. She gestured for Qiuyue to turn her around.

Gu Xingzhao looked at the man walking quickly towards him, raised an eyebrow. He was quite handsome, with a decent appearance. No wonder Lu Youtiao had taken a liking to him back then.

When facing Yang Fang, Lu Youtiao clenched her teeth, her eyes filled with suppressed hatred, her hands gripping the armrests of the chair tightly, trying her best to calm herself down.

Yang Fang walked up to Lu Youtiao and asked gently, "It's late, Madam. Where are you going?"
