The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 614 Mother Li’s Request

Mother Li was startled and looked towards the gate of the courtyard vigilantly.

The next moment, Shen Yanxi appeared as expected.

Dressed in official uniform, tall and graceful, with extraordinary bearing, this empty and deserted courtyard seemed to become prosperous and bright in an instant.

The moment he walked into the yard, Shen Yanxi subconsciously turned his gaze to Jiang Suining.

When Shen Yanxi saw the dagger against Jiang Suining's neck, his eyes turned cold.

Sensing Shen Yanxi's emotions, Jiang Suining smiled at him and spoke in a rather helpless tone.

"I'm sorry, husband, you have to save me."

This light and smiling tone slightly calmed Shen Yanxi's anger and the coldness around him. But it was only a little effective, and his eyes on Jiang Suining still sank uncontrollably.

Mother Li came back to her senses from her surprise at seeing Shen Yanxi. Her eyes seemed to be filled with poison. "Humph, you came just in time!"

"Master, it was my fault that I failed to protect the lady." The coachman lowered his head and knelt on one knee in front of Shen Yanxi.

"Sui Ning was exchanged for a hostage in order to save me." Lu Yan was already supported by Cong Rong and stood aside. She frowned, pursed her lips, and was very worried.

Although Shen Yanxi has come, Sui Ning is still in the hands of Li's mother. There is no guarantee that the other party will do something out of anger.

Looking at the dagger that was shining with cold light, Lu Yan's heart seemed to be hanging high in the air, and she was extremely worried.

Shen Yanxi ignored the two of them and just stared at Jiang Suining, while speaking to Li's mother.

"You'd better hold the dagger firmly in your hand. If anything happens to my wife, I will not forgive you."

Li's mother was about to threaten Shen Yanxi with a smug look on her face, but she never expected that before she even opened her mouth, she would be threatened by the other party first. Her face suddenly darkened.

"This is ridiculous! Shen Yanxi, your wife is in my hands now. Her life and death are decided by me. How dare you threaten me?"

Shen Yanxi finally moved his gaze away from Jiang Suining's face and glanced at Li's mother, but he did not speak to her. He only said to the people outside the courtyard: "Bring the person in."

The next moment, a figure appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

The man who was forced to walk out with a sword at his neck looked tense, his movements stiff, and full of fear. When he met Li's mother's eyes, he immediately shouted, "Mother!"

The person who was forced to walk in was Li Mao, and following behind him were the guards with swords and Yuan Liang.

Mother Li looked at Li Mao who was brought in, and was stunned at first, then her face changed drastically, "Mao'er, why are you here?"

"Of course I sent people to find and rescue him, and brought him to reunite with Madam Li and her son." Shen Yanxi's cold voice sounded.

"Damn it! Shen Yanxi, let Mao'er go, or I will immediately..."

Mother Li was so emotional that her hands were a little shaky. She was halfway through her threatening words when she was interrupted by a glance from Shen Yanxi.

"I've already told you, you'd better hold the dagger firmly. If you make a cut, I'll chop off one of your son's hands."

The threatening and oppressive words made Mother Li feel cold all over, and the dagger in her hand seemed to become several times heavier in an instant.

She bit her tongue secretly and tried to stay calm. "Shen Yanxi, stop trying to scare me here. If you dare to touch my son, you can forget about Jiang Suining's life!"

"Heh." Shen Yanxi sneered, and with just a glance, the guard holding the long sword instantly understood.

The long sword pointed downwards, a cold light flashed, and with a scream from Li Mao, the thumb of his right hand was accurately cut off.

"what!"

Li Mao covered his fingers and his face turned pale instantly. Because of the intense pain, beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Mao'er!" Mother Li was horrified and subconsciously wanted to step forward, but then she realized that she was still holding Jiang Suining hostage, so she could only stop and glare at Shen Yanxi.

"How dare you lay a hand on Mao'er!"

"so what?"

Facing Shen Yanxi's cold eyes, Mother Li gritted her teeth and looked at Jiang Suining fiercely, "If that's the case, then I..."

"It seems that you don't even want your son's hand." Shen Yanxi's words made Li's mother shudder instinctively, and the hand holding the dagger began to tremble.

Li Mao's face was distorted with pain, and when he felt the long sword moving to his wrist, he trembled with fear.

"No, no! Mother, please save me!"

"Mao'er!" Mother Li panicked and said quickly, "Don't do it, or I will definitely not be polite!"

Shen Yanxi stared at Li's mother and said, "I'll tell you one last time. If my wife is hurt in any way, I don't mind chopping off your son's hands and feet one by one. Of course, it's not just Li Mao, but also Li Zheng behind you."

Li Zheng's face was originally complicated and cowardly. After hearing these words, his pale face instantly became even uglier, and he even had a faint feeling of despair as if he knew that a disaster was about to happen.

Li's mother thought that she would be able to threaten Shen Yanxi by holding Jiang Suining in her hands, but she did not expect that the other party had captured Li Mao, and she did not expect Shen Yanxi to be so cruel.

In anger, she could only speak to Jiang Suining: "Isn't it said that he loves you deeply? Now it seems that it is just a rumor and is not worth believing at all. I'm afraid that you, his wife, don't have much weight in his heart."

Jiang Suining glanced at Li's mother and said, "Husband and wife are birds of the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly away separately. This is nothing special. Compared with husband and wife, the relationship between mother and son is of course more precious. I think Madam Li will not watch your son die here."

There was no disappointment or resentment on Jiang Suining's face. Instead, Li's mother, who felt she had been outmaneuvered, choked and gritted her teeth. She wanted to cut Jiang Suining with a knife immediately, but she didn't dare to.

After taking several deep breaths, Mother Li could only hold back her anger and speak again: "Shen Yanxi, I don't care whether the relationship between you two is true or false, but if you want Jiang Suining to live well, you must do as I say. Otherwise, even if the three of us die here today, I will definitely drag Jiang Suining to be buried with me!"

Shen Yanxi uttered one word concisely: "Speak."

"My first request is that you prepare a large sum of money to send us away, and make sure we can leave the Imperial City smoothly."

"Okay." Shen Yanxi didn't hesitate.

Mother Li breathed a sigh of relief, narrowed her eyes, looked at Shen Yanxi with a cold face, and continued to make the second request...
