Chapter 257: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road



After saying that, Fang Huihui turned and ran.

Duan Zhanfang was also very angry. What did it have to do with her? She kept trying to stop him, but it was useless!

Su Bei had a good impression of her, but it was a pity that she was already engaged, otherwise it would be a good idea to help Cheng Shi to match them up.

"Come with me and sit over there for a while." Su Bei stepped forward to ease her embarrassment.

Duan Zhanfang was flattered and followed Su Bei into the hall.

"Are you engaged to Yue Hongcai?" Su Bei felt a little sorry. Such a good girl was married to a man like Yue Hongcai. That bastard was really lucky! Duan Zhanfang's eyes dimmed instantly. "It was all arranged by my family..."

It seems to be a transaction of money and power.

So pitiful.

But this is someone else's family affair, and Su Bei can't interfere.

She had no choice but to ask, "When is the wedding?"

"The end of next year." Duan Zhanfang whispered.

That's good. Although Yue Hongcai has not been touched for the time being, he will definitely not be let go. By then, this engagement may not be valid.

The two were chatting when Xinlian suddenly ran in, "Princess! Someone is coming to Miss Duan's house!"

The two looked at each other.

Most likely Fang Huihui said something nonsense when she got home.

Duan Zhanfang sighed helplessly.

The maid from her family came in and said in panic: "Miss! It's bad! The young master was bitten by a dog in the academy!"

Duan Zhanfang suddenly stood up, "What?! How could I be bitten by a dog while studying so hard?!"

Su Bei felt something was wrong. The dog that attacked her last time belonged to Yue Hongcai. Adong’s husband Wu Yuanan was also bitten by a dog a few days ago. Today, Duan Zhanfang’s brother was also bitten by a dog!

"I don't know. The young master was carried back. He was bitten in several places all over his body. The doctor is treating him now!" the maid said anxiously.

Duan Zhanfang hurriedly said to Su Bei: "Princess, I have to go back first."

Su Bei also stood up, "I'll go take a look too!"

She felt that this matter should be related to Yue Hongcai!

Duan Zhanfang was extremely anxious and did not bother to investigate further, so he took Su Bei home with him.

On the way, Xinlian told Su Bei about Duan Zhanfang's family situation. She was the eldest daughter and had an older brother.

Everyone in Tongcheng knew that Yue Hongcai was a dandy who spent his days fighting cocks and running errands, and was not a good match at all. But the old man of the Duan family was a profit-seeking person, and for the sake of the Yue family's relationship, he arranged a marriage for Duan Zhanfang and Yue Hongcai.

Su Bei thought to himself: I must deal with Yue Hongcai, and it would be best if I could ruin his marriage with Duan Zhanfang. I can’t push such a good girl into the fire pit!

The atmosphere in the Duan family's main room was tense, with maids and servants carrying basins of water in and out, and the basins were full of blood. It looked like Duan Anlan had been bitten pretty badly.

Duan Zhanfang waited anxiously outside until the doctor came out, and then she went in.

When Duan Anlan saw her, he was very emotional, "Zhan Fang! You can't marry him! He is not a human being!"

Duan Zhanfang said anxiously: "Brother, what happened? Is this related to Yue Hongcai?"

Mr. Duan, who was standing at the side, said with a serious face: "An Lan! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Dad! I didn't say anything wrong! Look..." Duan Anlan said, lifting his sleeves to let Master Duan see.

In fact, Master Duan had already seen the unbandaged appearance just now, but he had many concerns about breaking off the engagement with the Yue family. In this Tongcheng area, no business can do without the Yue family's face, and it has been like this for many years. It's not that he wanted to marry Duan Zhanfang to the Yue family, but it was the decision made by the old master of the Duan family.

Master Duan could only suppress his anger, "Alright! An Lan needs to rest! Everyone, get out!"

After he spoke, everyone had no choice but to leave in disappointment.

But Su Bei said, "Wait a minute! Master Duan, you'd better explain it clearly. Was this done by Yue Hongcai?"

The Duan family didn't know who she was. Just as Master Duan was about to get angry, he heard Duan Zhanfang say, "Dad! This is Princess Su!"

"Ah this..." Mr. Duan was panicked.

Duan Anlan heard this and said quickly, "He did it! He got a few dogs from somewhere. I saw him bullying a new student, forcing him to eat from the dog bowl and bark and crawl like a dog. I was a little dissatisfied and went forward to stop him. Who knew he would let the dogs go and bite me!"

After that, he continued, "He usually acts arrogantly and often extorts money and property from students, but the dean turns a blind eye. This time, the student's family is not well off, and he was bitten by his dog two days ago..."

"Is that man's surname Wu?!" Su Bei frowned.

"How did Princess know? His surname is Wu, and his name is Wu Yuanan!" Duan Anlan asked in surprise.

Su Bei didn't say anything.

She couldn't ignore this matter! She was about to leave when she heard the maid run in again, "Master! Madam! Someone from the Yue family is here! They said that Master Yue was beaten and they want us to pay for it!"

It's true that there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there is no door to hell but you break in! Without waiting for Master Duan to speak, Su Bei said: "He is injured?!"

"I didn't hit him!" Duan Anlan hurriedly propped himself up and sat up, "He just let the dogs go, I didn't have time to hit him!"

Master Duan was so angry that his hands were shaking. He looked at Su Bei eagerly and said earnestly, "Princess! We are common people and cannot defeat their family. You must make the decision for my son!"

Su Bei chuckled, "I was just about to settle accounts with him! You came just in time!"

Having said that, she walked out gracefully.

Yue Hongcai was carried in, and Yue Xian followed. The two had intended to extort a large sum of money from the Duan family, on the one hand to prevent the Duan family from pursuing the bad things Yue Hongcai had done, and on the other hand to make up for the 20,000 taels they had previously paid to King Jingnan.

But they never expected to meet Su Bei here.

What a narrow road for enemies! Yue Xian didn't know that Yue Hongcai had let his dog bite Su Bei, and he said confidently: "The princess is here, just to seek justice for my Hongcai. I believe you are not a person who can't distinguish right from wrong!"

Su Bei said calmly: "Of course. Tell me, what happened?"

What's going on?

Yue Hongcai knew it very well, but he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he said: "I was feeding the dog in the backyard, and who knew that Duan Anlan remembered something and ran to my backyard, saying that the dog's barking disturbed him from studying, and asked me to kill the dog. But my dog ​​was brought from the north, and it is worth a thousand gold. How can I kill it just like that? He started to act without saying a word!"

As he spoke, he covered his bandaged thigh and wailed, "Oh my leg! My waist! My arm and shoulder! It almost hit me! If something happens to me, Duan Zhanfang will have to live a widow's life!"

Su Bei stepped forward, squatted down, and pointed at his shoulder with the round fan in his hand, "Is this where you're injured?"

"Ouch, ouch!" Yue Hongcai pretended to howl.

Su Bei turned the fan over and suddenly poked his arm with the handle, "And here?!"

"Ouch!" This time, Yue Hong really felt the pain, "Don't poke! It hurts!"

Who would have thought that Su Bei would slap him hard on the face with a fan in front of everyone, "And here? I see your face is a little swollen too!"

Yue Xian was anxious, "Princess! What are you doing? My son is almost dead!"
