Chapter 96 Stand Up for Me
These are all beggars at the city gate!
Seeing these people, Xie Qingran immediately clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she looked at them: "How dare you! What are you doing here? Let me tell you, this is the daughter of the Prime Minister's family. No matter who you are, if you dare to step forward, you will surely die!"
"Young Miss, haha, that's wonderful! None of us have ever tasted the flavor of the Young Miss!"
"To die beneath the peony blossoms is to be a romantic ghost; today we'll be the king of the world!"
They seemed to have planned this all along, and rushed towards the two beauties.
Although Gu Xiangyuan is usually domineering, it is just the spoiled nature of a young lady. When has she ever encountered such a situation?
She trembled with fear, clutching Xie Qingran's clothes tightly: "Sister, what should we do? Sister Xie, what should we do now?"
Xie Qingran grabbed a stool from the side and smashed it hard on the head of the first man who came forward. Blood spurted out instantly, and the man lay on the ground, lifeless.
"Those who go before me shall die!"
Xie Qingran's face was covered in blood. She stared fiercely at the people opposite her.
The other three beggars were stunned for a moment, then they were immediately enraged and rushed forward.
The stool in Xie Qingran's hand was snatched away, and she pushed Gu Xiangyuan aside, shouting, "Window, run!"
Gu Xiangyuan turned around and opened the window almost without the slightest hesitation.
Xie Qingran ran around the table, and when she saw the candlestick next to her, she immediately picked it up and smashed it hard against the man in front of her. Then she knocked over the lamp oil, took out a tinderbox, and threw it on the candlestick.
"Sister, I can't open it!"
"The windows are also sealed up!"
"What do I do? Help! Help!"
Gu Xiangyuan was so frightened that she burst into tears and screamed desperately at the outside.
Xie Qingran had been pinned to the table by two men, her clothes torn to shreds.
But she didn't give up, she didn't even cry out. She saw clearly that she had just set the bed curtains on fire, and they would soon discover that the place was flooded. There was a chance, a glimmer of hope.
"You little bitch, you're quite something!"
"Even if you scream your lungs out, it won't do you any good. Today, Grandpa is going to teach you a lesson!"
The man pressed down on Xie Qingran and slapped her hard across the face. Then, his foul-smelling mouth pressed against Xie Qingran's body!
Now!
Xie Qingran seized the opportunity and bit the man's neck hard.
"ah!"
The man immediately screamed in agony, then desperately tore at Xie Qingran's hair, trying to pull her off his neck. But Xie Qingran wouldn't let go, clinging to the man with her hands and feet, biting the flesh in her mouth with all her might. The stench of blood and filth spread through her mouth, making her nauseous.
"You little bitch, you're asking for it!"
Seeing this, another companion became enraged and smashed the weapon directly at the back of Xie Qingran's head.
"ah!"
Gu Xiangyuan screamed, picked up a vase from the side, and smashed it hard on the man's head.
"Fire!"
"Help! There's a fire!"
Soon, the outside was filled with noise, and then Gu Xiangyuan started shouting at the outside.
"Help!"
"Someone come quick!"
"Shut up!"
Xie Qingran gradually felt the man in her mouth stop moving, and only then did he let go. She quickly picked up her clothes that were scattered on the ground, put them on, and hugged Gu Xiangyuan tightly.
“We are all women. If people see us like this, our reputation, our marriage, everything will be ruined!”
"Come help me stuff them all into the cabinet. We'll talk about this after the banquet!"
"Remember, no matter who asks you, you must say that nothing happened, understand?"
Xie Qingran had calmed down by this time. She quickly grabbed one of the people and walked towards the cabinet.
At this moment, Gu Xiangyuan finally came to her senses. She knew very well that every word Xie Qingran said was golden advice, so she hurriedly nodded and began to help.
When the outsiders broke down the door, Xie Qingran and Gu Xiangyuan had already cleaned up the scene. They were holding each other tightly, trembling and crying.
"Oh dear, Yuan'er, what's wrong!"
"Quickly, quickly call the doctor over!"
"How did it suddenly catch fire!"
The Prime Minister's wife was terrified when she saw this and quickly hugged her daughter.
Many people rushed over after hearing the news. After confirming that there was nothing serious, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put out the fire.
However, Xie Qingran and Gu Xiangyuan had no interest in continuing the banquet. Gu Xiangyuan, in particular, told her mother about the incident. The Prime Minister's wife was furious and immediately went to find Madam Zhao, demanding an explanation.
When Madam Zhao learned of this, her first reaction was to cover it up. She then brought along servants who had signed life contracts to deal with the matter, and even Madam Wang had to be present.
Just as Madam Zhao was about to ask what had happened, Xiao Jue arrived.
Xiao Jue certainly had no interest in today's banquet, but he made a special trip here after learning about this matter to support Xie Qingran, because he knew that Wang Shi would not protect Xie Qingran.
"Your Highness, what brings you here?"
Madam Zhao was startled to see Xiao Jue suddenly appear before her without a mask.
However, compared to that face, Madam Zhao knew that the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was the most terrifying existence.
"I heard that my fiancée was frightened at your residence, so I came here specifically to check on her."
"Qingran, come here."
Xiao Jue looked at Xie Qingran and waved to her.
Xie Qingran had been holding her breath the whole time, but for some reason, when she met Xiao Jue's eyes, she felt a little weaker inside.
Her eyebrows furrowed tightly. She took a breath and slowly walked to Xiao Jue's side. The reason was that Xie Qingran still felt that she smelled of a beggar, and she was embarrassed to get close to Xiao Jue.
"Are you injured?"
Xiao Jue looked at Xie Qingran with some concern.
"No."
Xie Qingran shook her head; she didn't know if she was considered injured.
"What exactly is going on?"
Madam Zhao felt her head was buzzing and she couldn't care about anything else. All she wanted to know was what had happened.
Xie Qingran knelt on the ground and spoke the truth directly.
Everyone present, for the sake of their own interests and their children, would not reveal this matter, so now is the time to tell the truth.
Even Gu Xiangyuan burst into tears and hugged the Prime Minister's wife, sobbing as she said, "If it weren't for Sister Xie, I don't know what would have become of me. Mother, you must stand up for me!"
