Hua Qingqing searched around the yard at random, and she didn't dare to ask anyone, for fear of being discovered by Qiu Mobai and being taken back to practice martial arts.
But she didn't look for it seriously. Instead, she was chasing butterflies and playing with kittens, having a lot of fun.
Before I knew it, I arrived in front of a somewhat dilapidated courtyard.
She saw a little white cat with blue eyes sitting on the wall, combing its hair. It looked very cute.
Hua Qingqing ran over and shouted at the wall, "Kitty, Kitty, come down!"
"Will you play with me?"
The little white cat understood with surprise, but he did not come down. Instead, he raised his neck proudly and continued to comb his fur.
Little White Cat: I don’t want to play with little brats. Little brats just like to grab my pretty tail…
Hua Qingqing felt aggrieved that she was actually rejected by the little white cat.
Suddenly, a woman's voice was heard in the yard.
"Who is it? Who's outside?"
The woman's voice was very soft and gentle. She was probably in her teens or twenties. Just by listening to her voice, you could tell she was a beautiful woman.
Hua Qingqing opened her eyes wide and replied curiously.
"The baby's name is Hua Qingqing, who is her sister?"
The woman paused, smiled and said, "Hello, Sister Qingqing, my name is Hongniang."
Qingqing was stunned and immediately curled her lips, thinking, [So this is the woman who betrayed Brother Qiu. ]
Qingqing rolled her eyes in disgust and prepared to leave. She didn't want to pay attention to her.
Suddenly, there was a sound of something breaking and a woman's scream.
Qingqing paused and couldn't help but lean against the door and look inside through the crack.
Inside, I saw a weak woman in white clothes, who had somehow fallen to the ground, with broken porcelain all over the floor beside her.
Qingqing frowned and looked at her.
"What's the matter with you?"
"Why are you sitting on the ground?"
Matchmaker's eyes flickered slightly.
"I was sick and wanted to drink some water, but I knocked over the porcelain bowl."
"Sister Qingqing, can you help me get a glass of water? I really feel uncomfortable and have no strength left!"
Hua Qingqing looked at the closed door.
“But the baby can’t get in!”
She didn't want to go in or help, she felt the woman was dangerous.
The matchmaker was hesitant and her eyes were red. If a man saw this, he would feel pity for her.
Qingqing watched and felt a little bit reluctant.
Hongniang said weakly, "This door will open if you push it gently from the outside."
"But it doesn't matter if Sister Qingqing doesn't want to help. I'm going to die anyway, so what does it matter if I drink water or not?"
"People like me don't deserve sympathy. If I die, I die."
Qingqing hesitated, but she pushed the door hard anyway, and it actually opened.
Hongniang's eyes were cold as she lowered her head. When she raised her head, her eyes immediately became weak and aggrieved.
She continued, "Sister Qingqing, you'd better not come over. I really don't care. I won't drink the water either!"
As she spoke, she seemed to want to prop herself up. As a result, her hand stepped directly on the porcelain slab. Her palm was instantly cut and blood flowed out.
It makes her look even more delicate and pitiful!
Qingqing couldn't bear to watch it any longer, thinking, it's just one bowl of water! What's the big deal if it's ten bowls of water?
"You'd better not move. I'll just bring you some water."
Qingqing stepped over the threshold with her short legs and walked in.
She saw the kettle and bowl placed next to her. She ran over to get them! She was thinking whether she should tell Brother Qiu to have someone bandage Hongniang's hand.
But just when she touched the kettle, Hongniang's eyes changed from pitiful to cruel and ruthless. She slapped the ground with one hand, turned her body around, and stood up.
Just when Qingqing was stunned by surprise, Hongniang had already rushed to Qingqing.
He grabbed Qingqing in his arms and held her neck with one hand.
Qingqing was startled, but it was too late to run.
It was at this time that she realized that Hongniang's feet were tied with a long iron chain, so the farthest place she could reach was inside the courtyard gate.
Qingqing stared at him and questioned, "Why are you grabbing the baby?"
Hongniang sneered, "Because you are Qiu Mobai's, my sweetheart."
Hua Qingqing was completely confused!
Sweetheart?? Are you talking about her?
"Let her go." At the same time, a cold shout rang out.
Hongniang and Qingqing both looked outside the door and saw Qiu Mobai walking in with an angry look on his face.
Hua Qingqing's eyes lit up immediately.
"Brother Qiu, help me..."
Before she finished speaking, Hongniang covered her mouth with her hand. The blood on her palm splashed all over Qingqing's face.
Qingqing's little face immediately turned red.
When Qiu Mobai saw Qingqing's face covered in blood, he felt his heart skip a beat.
He was startled, clenched his fists and hid them under his sleeves. He tried to remain calm and walked forward quickly.
"Stop and don't move! If you move again I will kill her." Hongniang said coldly.
Qiu Mobai paused and stopped.
He closed his eyes, not looking at Hua Qingqing, but looking at Hongniang.
"If you let her go, I can spare your life."
Hongniang no longer looked weak and pitiful as she did at the beginning. Her eyes were cold and vicious.
She sneered and stared at Qiu Mobai, "Are you begging me? Spare my life? Haha, but my request is more than that."
Qiu Mobai gritted his teeth, "Let her go first!"
"Do you think I'm stupid? How can I talk to you if I let her go?"
Hongniang narrowed her eyes and noticed his nervousness, her expression a little surprised.
"I didn't expect that a cold-hearted person like you would care about someone." Hongniang's face was full of sarcasm.
The servants in this mansion would occasionally talk about it when they passed by the door. They said that Qiu Mobai treated a little girl differently. She was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Anguo. Her name was Hua Qingqing.
Unexpectedly, this little girl bumped into me today.
No matter whether Qiu Mobai is truly kind to her or is attracted by the power of the Anguo Mansion behind her.
Anyway, you can control Qiu Mobai.
She couldn't be locked up here any longer. She knew that the old devil Qiu Shanxi would be here soon.
Then, she will die a more miserable death.
Qiu Mobai narrowed his eyes, "Then what do you want?" He glanced at Hua Qingqing, and seeing that she was fine, he felt a little relieved.
The matchmaker bared her teeth, "I want you to kneel down!"
Qingqing was stunned. Qiu Mobai hadn't done anything yet, but she was already furious. Her big eyes were full of anger.
While Hongniang was not paying attention, he bit her hard.
Hongniang felt pain and wanted to hit Hua Qingqing.
Seeing this, Qiu Mobai rushed over, unsheathed his sword, and slashed down.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Hongniang turned around and the sword hit her shoulder.
She screamed in pain and turned around quickly, letting Qiu Mobai's sword point directly at Hua Qingqing.
