As soon as they stepped onto the third floor, they could vaguely hear some violent noises. As they walked to the door of the private room, the noises inside became clearer.
"Chen Ping, stop it! Don't touch her!"
"Why, you're heartbroken already! It's all because of her that I ended up with my family broken up! My brother was killed by them! What's wrong with me killing her?"
A sharp female voice yelled, like a madman who had been forced into a desperate situation.
"Don't touch her! Stop it!"
"Gu Hesheng, you still care about her. We were childhood sweethearts, I've loved you for so many years, and you turned around and married a sickly woman! Have you ever considered my feelings?!"
"He treats you like this, and you still like him. Don't you understand that the cause and effect of all this comes from him?
If you harm the young lady in the slightest for him, the palace will not let you go!"
Ayi's voice suddenly sounded, calm and wise, different from before.
At this moment, she had shed her previous timidity and was able to deal with this situation calmly.
There was silence for a long time before Chen Ping's voice was heard.
"You...you guys, it's all your fault!
Gu Hesheng! You are such a heartless villain! You have ruined my life! And you have even implicated my brother! Qiao Nai, and you, you are also a disaster. Without you, none of this would have happened! It’s all your fault! Your fault!
Cui Liu listened to the tense commotion inside and looked at Qiao Si nervously. He leaned close to her and asked in a low voice, "Princess, do you want to go in now? My cousin seems to be in danger."
Qiao Si's face was gloomy, Jing Zhu immediately understood what she meant and kicked open the door that was locked from the inside.
The force was so great that the entire Wangjiang Tavern could hear the noise.
This private room faces the river, and a window wide enough for two people faces the door.
Standing by the window was a person dressed as a servant. She was disguised as a man and had taken Qiao Nai hostage.
She tightly grasped Qiao Nai's neck with her right hand and pushed her out of the window.
Gu Hesheng just stood one step away from her and could only talk, but had no way to save her.
It really is useless.
Ayi and Yuqing stood on the other side of Gu Hesheng, also facing Chen Ping, trying to persuade her not to be impulsive.
Chen Ping brought three strong men to block them tightly and not let them get any closer.
They were originally in a stalemate, and Chen Ping was startled by Qiao Si's sudden action.
She increased the strength in her hands and actually pushed Qiao Nai out of the window.
"Miss!"
"Miss Cousin!"
"Nana!"
For a moment, many people shouted in panic.
But only Gu Hesheng took a step forward and jumped down without any hesitation.
Chen Ping couldn't stop him. She looked at the person falling, stunned.
I killed the culprit! I avenged my brother! I should be happy... But, Gu Hesheng...
While she was stunned, the guards at the back of the team rushed forward and took control of them directly.
The group of strong men wanted to struggle, but they could not withstand more than three moves from the guards. They were subdued and taken away one after another.
Chen Ping was forced to kneel on the ground by two guards.
She stared at Qiao Si with resentment, as if she wanted to kill her with her eyes.
Qiao Si didn't take her seriously at all.
From beginning to end, she didn't even look at her, but just walked to Yuqing with concern and asked her kindly if she was okay.
Only then did everyone pay attention to Yuqing.
She just said softly that she was fine and not to worry.
This soft and gentle voice, and the habitual gentle action of stroking the hair by the ear!
This is Jonai!
That "cousin" who just fell...
Is it Yuqing?
Suddenly I feel like laughing.
Difficult to stretch.
Then jump down...
From the moment I jumped down, no one cared...
Chen Ping watched helplessly as the little maidservant in front of her, whom she had always ignored, slowly tore off the human skin mask on her face, revealing the face she hated the most.
She suddenly became excited and struggled to break free from the restraints.
But he was pinned down and couldn't move.
“Qionai!
You are so vicious and treacherous!
Did you know I would come?
You lured me here on purpose!
Qiao Nai!
She spoke through gritted teeth, staring fiercely at Qiao Nai in front of her, with a look of great unwillingness on her face.
There was a noise outside the window, and Yuqing turned over and came in lightly.
After seeing Qiao Si, she bowed respectfully.
Qiao Nai was concerned about whether she was injured.
She said calmly, "It's okay. Someone rescued the person who jumped in."
Yuqing was afraid that Qiao Nai would worry about that man, so she told him about his situation.
At the moment she fell, she had already grabbed the protruding eaves crossbeam to ensure that she would not actually fall into the river.
However, the man who jumped down next, shouting Qiao Nai's name, was shocked when he saw her grabbing the crossbar, and then he suddenly realized.
However, Yuqing had no intention of saving him.
She didn't add insult to injury by doing something else, which was already the most kind thing she could do.
But when she glanced around, she saw a passerby who heard the noise and went over to save him.
"I'm glad you're okay." Qiao Nai held her arm and checked it himself before he felt relieved.
"You all really planned this! You are such a sinister and cunning bunch!"
Chen Ping looked at Qiao Nai and the others who were completely unharmed, and her face flushed with anger, her blood boiling.
"Why, you've been bullying people in the capital, bullying them because no one can protect them, and you're still acting like a tyrant. Do you want to continue doing that in Dingzhou? You can plot to harm my sister, so why can't I?
Isn’t this a matter of reciprocity?
In my territory, do you still want to continue being your domineering daughter?"
Only then did Qiao Si turn his gaze to her. She looked at the disheveled man who was pinned to the ground and was teasing her like an animal.
"Whose credit do you think it is for your smooth entry into Dingzhou?
Is it your aunt who was so frightened by the loss of her limbs that she lost her soul? Or is it your cousin who was willing to jump into the river for another woman?
A guard brought two chairs and placed them opposite Chen Ping. Qiao Si and Qiao Nai sat down under her angry gaze.
Qiao Si put his right leg on his left leg, leaned back in the chair, and put his hands on the armrests of the chair, looking very superior.
Qiao Nai just sat there obediently as usual, watching Qiao Si talking to Chen Ping and letting her vent her anger.
"Qiao Xiting! You are indeed a nest of snakes and rats! Your whole family is full of treacherous villains!"
Chen Ping recalled how smoothly they had come this far, and finally realized that everything had begun when those severed hands were sent to the capital.
"I don't like to hear slander against the palace."
Qiao Si gave Zhang You and the others a look, and Dongmei immediately stepped forward aggressively.
"What are you going to do?"
Chen Ping looked at the man who was coming at her aggressively and had a bad feeling.
"What? To beat you, of course."
Dongmei spoke in a sarcastic tone, signaling with her eyes that the two guards should lift her up.
After Chen Ping was picked up, she decisively slapped her more than ten times, knocking her unconscious.
