Listening to Juan 'er talk about that matter, Xiaochan was arranging the little clothes for the newborn child at home. When she saw Juan' er's expression, she was really a little scared.
For the time being, she could only tell this matter to her. It was useless to tell Sister Xing 'er now, and she couldn't report it to Miss for the time being. Xiaochan didn't quite believe it, and her mind was a little confused for a moment. However, Juan 'er never said anything she wasn't sure of. Even if they couldn't think about the problem for the time being, the two of them made a subconscious reaction. They went all the way to the side door of the Su Mansion, trying to find Ning Yi and come back.
Xiaochan knew where Ning Yi was going, but at this time, she didn't know whether to go to the road to have a look or to hitch a carriage to go out. Walking on the road, Xiaochan was about to cry.
On the way back, Ning Yi saw the two young girls who had just gone out.
Xiaochan was stunned when she saw him. She looked like she wanted to cry. She turned back and took a step before turning back. Juan 'er stood at the side with her head lowered. The situation was a little strange. Ning Yi also blinked and stood there. At this time, he naturally had something on his mind. He had already understood the meaning of the way Su Wenxing and the others looked at him yesterday. But at this time, he just caught the stalker, so he estimated that nothing would happen. However, he didn't understand why Xiaochan and Juan 'er were like this. After a while, Juan 'er secretly pulled on Xiaochan's sleeve. Ning Yi said, "What's wrong?"
Xiaochan clenched her fists and lowered her head for a moment. Then she looked at Ning Yi's belt and said, "Young Master, they said, they said …" She couldn't finish her sentence. Juan 'er stretched out her hand and poked her waist. Xiaochan glanced at her and said, "They said that Young Master has a woman outside, it's a … a prostitute called Nie Yunzhu, Young Master …"
She looked up at Ning Yi with a questioning and inquiring expression in her eyes, but it seemed that tears were about to flow out. Ning Yi was silent. He looked at her and then looked at Juan 'er, "And then?"
"They called some cousins from the second branch and the third branch. Anyway … those women … went out to make trouble with Miss Nie …" Probably understanding Xiaochan's complicated mood at this time, Juan 'er raised her head, but she was also a little timid, and then added, "They didn't disturb Miss Nie.
"It's rare for you to do a few smart things." After hearing this, Ning Yi couldn't help but laugh, but the smile was fleeting. He patted Xiaochan's shoulder and hugged her with one hand. At this time, they were still at the side door of the house. Xiaochan's face suddenly turned red, "You guys go back first, I got it."
He returned to Su Mansion, took a horse, and then went to the Qinhuai River. At the door, Xiaochan and Juan 'er looked at each other. Until now, they still didn't know how things would turn out …
*****
For Yunzhu and Jin 'er, things also happened suddenly. They just came back from Takeshi's at noon. The two of them had been living a peaceful life. At this time, there was no one else in the house. Jin 'er's maidservant Kou' er, Yunzhu's maidservant Hu Tao, and her Husband Erniu, there were only five people in total. Usually, Erniu would help out here and do some rough work, and then he would go home with his wife not far away. Although he didn't go back today, when more than twenty people suddenly came to the door, the little resistance of the five people was actually of no use.
In addition to a group of women from the second branch and the third branch, there were also several servants and guards of the Su family among them. When the crowd suddenly rushed in, Erniu, who was chopping firewood in the kitchen, put down his chopper and picked up a wooden stick to fight back. However, he was immediately knocked down into a pool of blood. When the women's screams and cries sounded, for Yunzhu and Jin 'er, they were instantly dumbfounded about the whole situation.
In this era, it was natural justice for a woman from the wife's family to find trouble with a woman who was kept by her man outside. Even if it was placed in court, there were no yamen masters who would favor women like Yunzhu and Jin 'er in such a family matter. At most, they would say that this man was really stupid. It was supposed to be a romantic matter, but he couldn't settle it. For Yunzhu, she might have been mentally prepared for some things a long time ago, or maybe she had seen other similar things. When she was involved, she was naturally at a loss at the beginning. Seeing those fiendish women rush in, followed by cursing and shoving, she roughly understood what was going on, but in the end, her mind was still blank, and she didn't know what to do.
She remembered that she probably called out "Jin 'er", and Jin' er also called out, "What are you doing!" What happened after that was almost muddled. Countless voices kept ringing in her ears. Some people came to pull her hair, some wanted to hit her, and her face seemed to have been hit twice, but she didn't know. She couldn't feel her body, and even when someone wanted to pull her clothes, she could only hug herself tightly. She wanted to find Jin 'er, but Jin' er was separated.
Yuan Jin 'er only struggled for a moment before she was drowned by the voices. Her shrewdness didn't have much meaning at this time. Without a mentality like Ning Yi, it didn't mean much in the face of this kind of group violence. Most importantly, perhaps it was because in her heart, she didn't think that her side was righteous. When those women rushed over, she wanted to fight fiercely at the first moment, but then she couldn't do anything. When she saw that Yunzhu was injured, she knocked her into the water and stabbed her to death, but in the face of four or five cursing women, it was meaningless. After all, it was difficult for two fists to fight against four or five hands. Then, her hair was pulled into a mess, and her body was hit. Seven or eight hands reached over, but it didn't work. When she felt someone scratching her face and felt a burning pain, she thought that she was disfigured, and then she cried.
The noise on the street next to the small building became a scene for a while. During the day, there weren't many pedestrians, but they soon gathered together. People spread word of what had happened. Then, they saw two women being dragged out. A group of women were cursing and beating each other. There were also people explaining what had happened to the surrounding onlookers.
"My cousin has just given birth, and I heard about this today …"
"This is too much!"
"She just gave birth yesterday, and her body isn't good. What kind of mess will this make …"
"That fox is shameless!"
"I can't take it anymore …"
Amid the embellishment, the surrounding people also became angry.
"How can this kind of thing be tolerated …"
"Drown them in a pig cage …"
"Scratch their faces, and let's see if they can seduce men casually in the future …"
"Drench them with feces and urine first …"
"They are good-looking, but I didn't expect them to be such people …"
"This is the kind of women who seduce men everywhere …"
"Where is that man, he should also be caught!"
The surrounding voices buzzed, and at the same time, it also reached the ears of Yun Zhu and Jin Er. Jin Er finally hugged Yun Zhu, and had already begun to cry. Yun Zhu hugged her tightly, and also hugged her own body. She clenched her teeth and pursed her lips, trying not to cry. When someone tried to tear off her clothes again, she hit them with all her might. Immediately, she was cursed even louder. Then, she was hit on the face again. Those women punched and kicked her. Then, there was a 'hua' sound as her clothes were torn open. She struggled and fell to the ground. "Ah!" Jin 'er cried out, but it was useless.
"Tear off her clothes for everyone to see!"
"Drown her in a pig cage …"
"Call that man over too …"
The surrounding people had already started to make a ruckus, and the voices were getting louder and louder, but Yun Zhu felt that she could no longer hear anything. In the midst of the chaos, there was a moment when she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. The surrounding voices seemed to have stopped for a moment, but in fact, she could still see countless people's hands, feet, and clothes. She and Jin Er were surrounded in the middle …
When Ning Yi jumped down from the running horse, the fighting crowd did indeed quiet down for a moment, because someone had already seen him. A few leading women exchanged glances, but the surrounding people did not know what had happened, and were still making a ruckus. A few Su family guards had already gone up, trying to stop Ning Yi, who had pushed through the crowd violently.
One of the women shouted loudly, "Young Master Ning! You can't interfere in this matter! You'd better think about how to explain yourself! "
The other women also made a ruckus, "That's right, that's right." They shouted, "Look at what you've done!"
"Tan Er has just given birth …"
"We can't take it lying down, so we're here to stand up for her!"
Only then did the crowd realize that the scholar who had squeezed through the crowd was the male protagonist, and one of them was about to pull him back. At the same time, a middle-aged guard had also come over. His status in the Su family was considered high, and he had some martial arts skills, which were basically similar to Guard Geng's. He looked calm and fierce, and he reached out to block Ning Yi. His fan-sized palm pressed on Ning Yi's shoulder, "Young Master."
This middle-aged guard was already in his thirties or forties, and he was tall and burly like a wall. Ning Yi, on the other hand, looked weak and scholarly, which was also why the bystanders behind dared to meddle in other people's business. The guard did not want to hurt Ning Yi, and his steps sank, only wanting to push Ning Yi here, but Ning Yi did not stop. As he took a step forward, he backhanded the guard with a slap.
A slap sounded in the air, followed by blood and teeth flying out. The guard retreated to the side, and his fingers fell into the Qinhuai River at the side.
The man who had been pulling Ning Yi's left hand was hurriedly pulled forward a few steps. Ning Yi backhanded, grabbed, and swung. The man screamed, and his body spun a few times in the air before crashing to the ground. All of this happened in just a moment. Ning Yi's pace was very fast, and he single-handedly grabbed the neck of another guard who had rushed over. He walked a few steps forward before throwing him to the side, clutching his neck as he coughed violently on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, Ning Yi had closed the distance between him and the women. He also saw Yunzhu, who was trying to pull at her torn clothes in the middle of their encirclement, and Yuan Jin 'er, who was hugging Yunzhu and kneeling there crying.
The sound waves immediately rose again, "Young Master Ning, you still dare to do this!"
"You did something wrong, and you still hit people …"
"Are you worthy of Tan 'er …"
"Bastard couple, beat them to death!"
"You've become lawless once you get involved with the family …"
Usually, when faced with such a situation, even the most senior officials and people of high status would have to swallow their anger. In their hearts, they still thought that Ning Yi would not dare to act recklessly, but even so, Ning Yi still came to them. News of Ning Yi's incident in Hangzhou had spread for a while, but he was very good to his family. This was the reason why they felt that Ning Yi would not dare to go too far. His sudden rush was probably also a bluff. In the midst of the sound waves, a woman carrying a toilet separated the crowd and rushed over. "He's coming, he's coming …"
This was Su Wenxing's cousin-in-law. She was tall and sturdy, and she was extremely shrewish in the Su family. Just now, she ran out to look for something to humiliate Yun Zhu and Jin 'er. At this time, when she came over and saw Ning Yi coming over, she was stunned for a moment, but then she snorted coldly. "Young Master Ning, even if you come over, you can't save them!"
Ning Yi's expression was cold. He had already walked past Yun Zhu and Jin 'er, and was directly approaching them. Several women tried to pull him back, but they could only retreat with him.
"Put it down!"
As he walked, Ning Yi spoke. One of the women had already stretched out her hand to pull on his clothes. Then, Ning Yi slapped the woman with the back of his hand, causing her to stumble back. If it was said that hitting a few guards just now was a little surprising, then this slap really stunned the surrounding people. How could there be such an unreasonable man? If he was dressed like a butcher, then it would be fine, but he was wearing a scholar's robe …
Someone shouted, "Don't you dare!"
The cousin-in-law holding the toilet bowl was also stunned, and for a moment, she jumped up and down. "How can I do this! Ning Yi, you … "
"Put it down!"
Ning Yi was already approaching.
"Ah — —"
There was a slap, followed by a splash. The woman splashed the toilet bowl over, and then a slap sounded on her face, knocking her to the ground. The stench spread everywhere, and the toilet bowl rolled around. Half of Ning Yi's body was splashed, and the surrounding people were also affected. But this time, the surroundings really quieted down. Even Jin 'er, who was crying, was frozen in her crying posture.
Ning Yi stood there, as if he didn't feel the stench on his body. The woman on the ground had a few teeth knocked out, but in fact, Ning Yi still stopped. The woman spat out blood and teeth, and began to cry. She began to curse loudly, and the surrounding people also began to shout. Ning Yi kicked the woman's stomach, and her crying stopped.
This made the crowd even more excited, and the surrounding people also shouted. Then, there was a flash of light, and Ning Yi raised his hand. "Boom — —" The sound shook the whole place, and the branches and leaves on the trees a few meters away fell, hitting the onlookers' heads. Although his body was drenched, the gun was placed in his robe, so it wasn't wet. He fired the gun, and when the woman came to her senses, she was still crying, so he walked over and pressed the muzzle on her head. Of course, there was no gunpowder or bullets in the gun, but it was still warm from the shot.
"If you make a scene again, I'll kill you." He said word by word, "Do you believe me?"
Believe it or not, for a moment, no one dared to make a scene again. Even though there were some people in the crowd who spoke, no one dared to curse loudly for a moment, probably thinking that Ning Yi was crazy. After a moment, he stood up, turned around, and walked over to Yunzhu. "Go back and tell Su Wenxing that I'll settle the score with him later."
After saying that, he walked to a place not far from Yunzhu and Jin 'er, pointed to himself a little awkwardly, and then smiled. "Is there a place where I can take a shower?"
