When she woke up again, she was tied to a chair with several ferocious masked men sitting beside her.
They sat together, looking Qian Xuying up and down as if she were a money tree.
The leading man saw her wake up and walked over to her side: "Young ladies from wealthy families are really easy to deceive. They were tricked out by just writing a letter. Don't you think that your fiancé doesn't seem like the kind of person who could say such disgusting things?"
Qian Xueying couldn't stop crying. She wanted to ask these people what they were going to do, but the cloth in her mouth blocked her mouth and she couldn't make a sound.
Fortunately, the robbers just sat next to her and did not attack her.
She could only pray that the Qian family would realize that something was wrong with her as soon as possible and send someone to rescue her as soon as possible.
At this time, the Qian family was indeed in chaos. Since Qian Xuying knew that this was against etiquette, she did not tell anyone where she was going. Therefore, after the maid found out that she was not there, she ran to tell Qian's father and mother.
At first, Qian's father was not worried and even asked someone to invite Master Miao. However, when he learned that Master Miao had been in the academy all day, Qian's father realized that something really had happened.
For the sake of his daughter's reputation, he did not ask anyone to report to the police, but only asked the security guards at home to search secretly.
They searched all possible places where Qian Xuying might appear, but found nothing.
Just when the Qian family was at a loss, a child who usually begged on the streets came to the Qian family with a letter.
He came to the door and shouted, "Master Qian, the robbers said they have kidnapped your daughter and taken her to the mountain. They want you to bring 500 taels to ransom her. If you are too late, you will never see your daughter again."
Along with the letter came Qian Xuying’s favorite pearl hairpin.
This letter made the Qian family panic. They quickly raised money and went to the meeting place mentioned by the robbers.
Because of the children's noise, most people on the street knew about this. Miao Hanfeng rushed over and wanted to go with them to rescue them.
Mr. Qian looked at the huge crowd behind him and always felt that there was a sense of conspiracy, but his daughter's life was more important, so he didn't bother to delve into the reasons.
When they arrived at the designated location, they saw three black-clad robbers standing on the hill: "Master Qian, your daughter is in the yard at the back of the hill. Leave the silver and you can take her away."
Mr. Qian was afraid that they had a backup plan, so he didn't dare to ask too many questions. He just put the money down and led his men to the back mountain.
The robber who was guarding the house heard the special signal outside and walked towards Qian Xueying with a smile: "Miss Qian, I am also paid to do things for others. If you want to blame me, blame you for not knowing people well."
Before Qian Xuying understood what he meant, he grabbed her collar and tore it apart with force.
With a "rustling" sound, Qian Xuying's skin at the collar was exposed.
As if realizing what he was going to do, Qian Xuying struggled desperately, but was tied up with ropes and could do nothing.
Just when he was completely in despair, the tightly closed door was kicked open from outside.
The robber turned his head and glanced at the person who came in, then walked away as if he had completed his mission.
All people saw was the disheveled Qian Xueying and the man in black who jumped out of the window.
Everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to Tian Hanfeng. Tian Hanfeng seemed to be unaffected by these gazes. He slowly walked to Qian Xueying and helped her put on her clothes.
"Let's go back home first."
After returning, the matter quickly spread because there were so many witnesses.
Qian Xueying's clothes were merely torn off, but it was also rumored that she had been raped by the robbers.
Now everyone's eyes are on Tian Hanfeng, wanting to see how he will handle this marriage.
Tian Hanfeng acted as if nothing had happened, and continued to go in and out of the Qian family normally. Sometimes he would even go to the street to buy some small things to please Qian Xueying.
This deep affection made the neighbors admire her very much. Many people said that Qian Xueying must have accumulated blessings for ten lifetimes to have found such a perfect husband.
But the Qian family does not feel happy. Recently, many people have come to lobby them to cancel the engagement.
"Master Qian, Mr. Tian has already won the first place in the imperial examination. It is indeed a bit unfair for him to marry Miss Qian. Now that Miss Qian has suffered such an incident, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the reputation of the top scholar if she married him?"
"Master Qian, which man doesn't mind that kind of thing? It's just that Master Tian doesn't show it because he is kind and righteous. You can't go too far."
"Rather than ending up as a bitter couple in the future, it's better to end the relationship now and leave a good impression on both parties."
"Yes, Master Qian, if it were you, you should find your daughter a man from a family lower than the Qian family. Then, considering the status of the Qian family, he wouldn't dare to do anything to your daughter."
The Qian family had been annoyed by the wave after wave of people trying to persuade them. At this time, word spread that Tian Hanfeng had been favored by the daughter of a first-rank official, who wanted to marry him, but Mr. Tian already had a fiancée and refused, which made the official quite angry.
Many people said that this move would offend officials and end his career.
When everyone was speculating about how this extraordinary love story would end, Qian Xuying committed suicide.
Before committing suicide, she left a suicide note saying that she had lost her innocence and had no reason to live in the world anymore. She only hoped that Mr. Tian would forget her and start a new life.
After her death, Tian Hanfeng insisted on burying her as a family member.
The young lady from the official family who was in love with Tian Hanfeng was also moved by his behavior and was willing to wait for him to come back.
Finally, under everyone's expectations, Tian Hanfeng accepted her, and the two of them finally became a beautiful story.
After getting married, Tian Hanfeng often came back to visit Qian's parents. Perhaps the sad news of their daughter's death was too much of a blow, and within two years, Qian's father and mother also died of illness.
Because the Qian family only has one daughter, Qian Xueying, the Qian family's huge fortune naturally fell into the hands of Tian Hanfeng, who had a close relationship with her.
No one had any objection to this matter. After all, his friendship with the Qian family was obvious to all.
Only Su Yan, who had a God's perspective, didn't think so. In her opinion, Tian Hanfeng was a complete beast.
From the moment he entered the Qian family, every step he took was carefully planned.
Initially, he was unable to take the imperial examination because of his father's crime, so the wealthy Qian family became his target. The best way to get the Qian family's property was to marry Qian Xueying.
After his grievances were cleared, he no longer looked down on the powerless Qian family, but he had received too many favors from the Qian family. If he withdrew and canceled the engagement, it would be bad for his reputation.
Initially, he wanted to coax Qian Xuying into becoming his concubine, but unexpectedly, he was favored by the young lady of an official family.
To show his respect for the young lady, he promised to cancel his marriage with Qian Xuying and marry only her.
The Qian family's subsequent experiences were all the result of his conspiracy, and he also deceived the young lady from the official family into acting with him, thus gaining a good reputation.
