Chapter 2099: Chapter 2099: No Mercy on His Subordinates

"You, what do you want to do?"

Seeing several big men approaching him with ill intentions, the mansion guard, who had fallen to the ground, retreated backwards.

He had just been brought before that couple, yet in the blink of an eye, he found himself in this place, surrounded by so many people looking at him as if they wanted to peel a layer of skin from his body.

"What do we want to do?"

Jiang Zuo turned his head, glanced at Jiang Li beside him, then looked back at the mansion guard.

"You want to harm our master and mistress, and you still have the nerve to ask us what we want to do?"

"Wh... what master and mistress, I, I... I don’t recognize."

Where would the mansion guard know about any master and mistress? In this mansion, only the lord and lady, along with two secondary consorts and some other women of the lord, were referred to as master.

Could they be referring to those women of the lord?

Is it the lady?

"Not knowing even who my master is, yet you dare harm him?" Jiang Li scoffed sharply.

"You’ve got quite the nerve, not knowing whom you can offend, yet you try to lead them to death? It seems your time is up, huh? Tell us, why did you bring my master and mistress to Secondary Consort Yuan’s courtyard? What were your intentions?"

He barked sharply, questioning the mansion guard.

"I..."

Only now did the mansion guard realize who they were referring to as the master and mistress.

Could it be that young couple with the child?

Thinking of that couple, his expression turned grim. He truly hadn’t expected such ordinary-looking people to have such capabilities, to the extent that they could kill all the dark guards sent by Secondary Consort Yuan to silence them.

Had he known it would turn out this way, even if it meant facing more complaints from Secondary Consort Yuan, he wouldn’t have brought them there.

Now, he had gotten himself into trouble, too.

"I don’t know anything, they said they were looking for Nanny Guo themselves; I just took them to Nanny Guo, what did I do wrong? I did nothing wrong."

At this point, all he could do was blatantly lie, pretending to know nothing at all.

Jiang Zuo and Jiang Li: "..."

Did this scoundrel take them for fools?

Taking their master to Nanny Guo’s place, but ending up at Secondary Consort Yuan’s courtyard?

Jiang Li promptly kicked the mansion guard, sending him sprawling to the ground.

"Ah!"

The guard screamed in pain, and just as he tried to twist his body and get up, Jiang Zuo stepped heavily on his chest.

"Do you mean to say, as a guard of Prince Niu’s Mansion, you don’t even know whom Nanny Guo serves?"

"I... I..."

He really wanted to deny it, wanted to claim he was new and didn’t know the lady or the secondary consorts’ courtyards.

But such matters could be easily verified with just a few inquiries; it wasn’t something he could simply deny.

"What do you mean by you? Speak honestly, who told you to do this?!" Jiang Zuo pressed his foot down harder on the guard’s chest, interrogating him.

"Ugh!"

The guard grimaced in pain, his teeth clamped shut, his entire face twisted in agony.

These people were ruthless, seemingly wanting to crush his internal organs - no mercy was shown towards him.

"I... I don’t know, I really don’t know."

He gritted his teeth and shook his head.

Even if he was nearly crushed to death by that foot, he couldn’t admit that he had done it intentionally.
