Qian Shengyan quickly pulled Hongli aside and hid the child behind her, but inevitably her arm was cut by the scissors that Nian Shi was swinging wildly.
But she didn't have time to worry about anything else. While Qingxue rushed over to fight with Nian Shi, she quickly pulled Hongli away and ran.
After a moment of confusion, Hongli finally reacted and took the initiative, pulling Qian Shengyan forward.
At this moment, Qian Shengyan's only relief was that Lvliu had already run far away with Ferguchun in her arms. Although the little girl's cries could still be heard from afar, at least she was unharmed and hadn't witnessed this scene.
Her arm ached a little, and her stomach felt heavy, but Qian Shengyan didn't dare to stop. Nian Shi's current state was too frightening. She could feel that Nian Shi really wanted to kill Hongli.
...Damn it, the historical Nian family wasn't like this at all! She was a beautiful but frail woman, and there was no indication that she was mentally ill!
"Ah!" Qingxue's scream came, and Qian Shengyan and Hongli couldn't help but turn around to look. They saw Qingxue slowly collapsing with one hand on her stomach, while Nian Shi was covered in blood on one side and ran towards the two of them in a frenzy.
Qian Shengyan: !!!
Holy crap, that's the speed of a 100-meter sprint!
No, with her pregnant belly and the four-year-old Hongli in tow, she couldn't possibly outrun the crazed Nian Shi. Qian Shengyan looked around, picked up a handy stone, and thought that if all else failed, she would just have to try. Just then, she heard a group of people's chaotic footsteps, probably the guards had finally arrived.
Qian Shengyan relaxed a little, but dared not be too careless. She shielded Hongli behind her with one hand and raised a stone with the other, thinking that if Nian's mother dared to come over, she would crack her skull open and let her cause trouble.
"Die, all of you die, die, all of you die..." Madam Nian muttered as she ran over, but when she saw Qian Shengyan standing there, she started laughing wildly again, "Hahahaha, dead, you're all dead, it's good that you're all dead, all of you die, all of you die..."
"What a madman!" Qian Shengyan spat, disgusted!
Just as Nian raised her scissors, at the critical moment, Qian Shengyan gritted her teeth and threw the stone!
The force she used was so great that it even pulled her abdomen. She nervously supported her stomach. Fortunately, the stone was aimed accurately and hit Nian's arm. Nian cried out in pain and dropped the scissors to the ground.
Without the sharp weapon, Qian Shengyan was no longer so afraid, while Hongli had already nimbly squatted down to pick up various small stones and hurled them at Nian Shi with a series of crackling sounds.
"Ah! Ah! You little bitch, ah! Stop!" Although the blows to her body and face weren't as painful as the previous one, she had never suffered such a loss before. Enraged, she could only shout, "You all deserve to die, you all deserve to die!"
"If you die, we'll still be alive!" Qian Shengyan shouted, pulling Hongli back slowly while continuing to throw stones. Nian Shi seemed to see their actions and, ignoring the pain of being hit by pebbles, reached for the scissors again.
Qian Shengyan was startled. She looked around and quickly picked up a slightly larger stone, then threw it with all her might.
Unfortunately, because they were too far away, the scissors missed Nian Shi. While Nian Shi was hiding, she managed to grab the scissors. Qian Shengyan simply ignored it and pulled Hongli along as they continued running.
The approaching guards finally met the two sides. Qian Shengyan breathed a sigh of relief and pulled her son to hide in the circle formed by the guards.
Once she stopped, Qian Shengyan realized her stomach was a little sore. The strenuous running, exertion, and shock had probably taken their toll on her during her pregnancy.
She was slightly out of breath, supporting herself with one hand on Hongli's shoulder. She watched as the guards dared not touch Nian Shi. Only the leader took Nian Shi's scissors and then stood between Nian Shi and her son, making no further moves.
Yes, Lady Nian is also known for being favored and pregnant. If the two of them have a conflict, the guards really don't dare to do anything.
Although Nian was trapped, she still looked at Qian Shengyan and Hongli with that fierce and sinister gaze. Suddenly, a smile appeared on her lips, she puffed out her belly, and took a step closer to the two of them.
Qian Shengyan frowned and subconsciously took a step back. Nian Shi's expression immediately became even more smug, and her laughter became even more rampant.
"Consort Nian." The man who looked like the head guard blocked Consort Nian's way, respectfully but firmly refusing her permission to continue.
Nian sneered, raised her chin and looked at Qian Shengyan, and indeed stopped moving.
Qian Shengyan, supporting her belly, said to a guard beside her, "My maid, Qingxue, is injured. Have you found her?"
"Please rest assured, Consort, Doctor Zhou will be here shortly," the guard said.
Qian Shengyan nodded. At this moment, her stomach was hurting and her vision was going black intermittently. She knew that the situation was not good and was even more afraid of frightening Hongli, so she said, "Send the Fourth Prince back."
"Mother! Let's go together!" Hongli said anxiously.
Qian Shengyan patted his shoulder: "It's okay, you go first, I want to go see Qingxue."
"Mother!" Hongli still refused.
"Hongli, your mother doesn't know how my sister is doing. She was crying when she left. Could you go and see her for me?" Qian Shengyan said gently.
Hongli frowned, thought for a moment, and then agreed, but was still worried: "Where is Mother?"
"Mother, we're waiting for Doctor Zhou to arrive. This place is full of wounded people, and we need someone in charge," Qian Shengyan explained patiently.
Hongli finally nodded, and Qian Shengyan then assigned two guards to escort him back.
Looking further a distance, several old women helped Qingxue and Wanxia over, and Qian Shengyan's maids also rushed over.
Seeing this, Qian Shengyan felt relieved, but as soon as she felt relieved, the pain in her abdomen intensified. She couldn't help but groan as she held her stomach and pressed her hand against the tree trunk next to her.
In the midst of the chaos, no one noticed this scene. Nian Shi, who was staring intently at Qian Shengyan, suddenly revealed a triumphant smile.
Now that the maids serving the two concubines had arrived, the guards couldn't get too close and were about to disperse when Green Smoke and Green Frost, accompanied by Qian Shengyan, were still looking at Qingxue with concern—
At that moment, the Nian family suddenly moved!
She didn't use scissors, nor did she look for branches or any other weapons. She simply accelerated and ran towards Qian Shengyan at lightning speed.
Before anyone could react, Nian, with her head down, bumped into Qian Shengyan's stomach, and the two rolled around in a heap amidst gasps from the crowd.
As Qian Shengyan struggled to stand, her vision blurring, she suddenly felt a powerful force strike her, hitting her squarely in the stomach! Almost instinctively, she tried to push the person away to protect her stomach, but the force was too great, causing her to fall backward. The approaching Nian Shi then pounced on her, pressing down hard on her stomach—
