Just then, Xinran noticed that her men were about to come out, and she quickly gestured for them not to make any rash moves.
They didn't even notice He Jiuniang coming in just now; coming out now will only make things worse.
Xinran thought those people were hiding very well, and her little actions were also flawless, but little did she know that He Jiuniang had seen everything.
"Madam Lu, what exactly do you mean by suddenly barging into my courtyard and injuring someone?"
Xinran was clearly flustered, but thinking that He Jiuniang probably hadn't noticed anything, she still felt somewhat justified.
He Jiuniang looked at her as if she were a fool and asked, "Is Miss Xinran blind?"
Xinran: ...
He Jiuniang crossed her arms and looked at her leisurely, saying, "Miss Xinran, you're really something, sticking your hands out in front of your aunt. This bastard in front of you, is he one of yours? You had my materials replaced, using rotten wood to build my house. What, you really want my business to go wrong, so you can frame my husband and help Qin Jian rise to power? Haha! You and Qin Jian are nothing but a nobody, yet you're already thinking so much about him. Are you his wet nurse or his shrew?"
He Jiuniang had no scruples whatsoever, and started cursing as soon as she opened her mouth, even dragging Qin Jian into it, showing no regard for Qin Jian's status in the Fire Cloud Division.
It is clear that Qin Jian and his wife were truly irreconcilable.
Xinran felt relieved. She had been somewhat suspicious of Qin Jian when the warehouse burned down, but then she remembered that Qin Jian wasn't at Qingyin Garden when the warehouse burned down. Lu Baichuan was away at the time, and Qin Jian was busy finishing his work so that he could get rid of Lu Baichuan as soon as possible.
But it was precisely because he wasn't there that the people in the park suspected that Qin Jian was doing this on purpose.
This made her somewhat suspicious of Qin Jian, but Qin Jian had been by her side all this time, which softened her heart again.
Hearing He Jiuniang say this now, they believed Qin Jian even more.
Yes, Qin Jian's heart belongs to her, how could he possibly do anything to hurt her?
Moreover, Qingyin Garden's tea business has always been discreet, and ordinary people would not be able to detect it. Even if the people of Huoyun Division were very clever, they would not be able to guess those methods. After all, the things added to it are unique to their Dongting, and ordinary people would never think of them.
With that thought, she immediately dismissed her suspicions about Qin Jian.
“Madam Lu, you’re really wronging me by saying that. I know your family and Brother Qin don’t have a good relationship, but you can’t just accuse someone without any evidence. This man just often comes to our Qingyin Garden to drink tea and listen to opera. He thinks our tea is very fragrant and wants to buy some from me. But you’re slandering me like this. How can I face people after this?”
As she spoke, she hesitated and started to cry, grabbing a handkerchief to wipe her tears, only to be slapped away by He Jiuniang.
The hidden subordinates were stunned. They wanted to come out and help, but they held back because they knew Xinran was unwilling.
He Jiuniang wasn't satisfied yet, so she pressed down on him and slapped him again, all the while cursing.
"Don't try to play any tricks on me. If you dare to lay a hand on me, you'd better be prepared to pay the price! That building cost me so much money and effort, and you ruined it all, you bitch! You still dare to act tough with me? I'll beat you until you submit!"
"Don't think I'll let you manipulate me like that stupid dog Qin Jian. I can see what kind of person you are at a glance. Since this person is yours, you have to compensate me for my losses!"
"If you want to live in my hands today, you'd better pay back three times what I lost. Otherwise, even if the King of Heaven himself comes, you'll still die!"
He Jiuniang was ruthless when she hit. As a doctor, she knew which spots would hurt the most, but wouldn't kill the person. In short, she enjoyed hitting them.
Lu Baichuan received the signal and rushed over with his men. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his wife riding on Xinran's back, slapping her repeatedly with both hands.
Xinran had no chance to fight back at all; all she could do was scream in agony.
Lu Baichuan suddenly remembered what his wife had told him the night before last: all he had to do was sit on a small stool and clap his hands...
Qin Jian was taking a nap when he heard the commotion and hurriedly got up to see what was happening. He arrived at almost the same time as Lu Baichuan.
Xinran's maidservant then remembered that Qin Jian was in Qingyin Garden, and she had completely forgotten to call him!
Seeing this, he hurriedly stepped forward to complain: "Second Master! Please save my young lady! That shrew is going to beat her to death!"
Without saying a word, Qin Jian was about to step forward when Lu Baichuan stopped him. Qin Jian then cursed, "Are you two crazy? I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"
As they were talking, the two started fighting. The little maid was even more anxious. What would happen to her young lady if these two started fighting?
Although she knew some martial arts, seeing He Jiu Niang's fierce appearance, she didn't dare to go forward at all!
Fortunately, He Jiuniang still had some sense of propriety and released Xinran after hitting her for a while.
The maidservant hurriedly helped the person up. Seeing this, Qin Jian stopped fighting and rushed forward to hold the person in his arms, looking distressed.
"What are you doing? Are you really taking advantage of Xinran's timidity? If you have a problem, come at me!"
Qin Jian protected Xinran and berated Lu Baichuan and his wife.
He Jiuniang sneered and said, "Ask her yourself what good deeds she has done? She looks gentle and weak on the surface, but her heart is blacker than the bottom of a pot!"
As she spoke, she walked up to the foreman, reached behind her ear, and ripped off the human skin mask from her face, revealing a face completely opposite to the foreman's.
This man, posing as a foreman, did whatever he pleased in her club!
Furthermore, based on He Jiuniang's observations over the past two days, she discovered that not only the foreman, but also all the other workers were wearing masks.
In other words, the group of people who originally worked for her were all eliminated and replaced by people from Qingyin Pavilion.
Thinking of those innocent people who were killed, He Jiuniang trembled with rage, wishing she could tear the people in front of her to pieces.
Everyone was shocked by this scene. Lu Baichuan's men were surprised that it was actually a disguised person, and they hadn't been able to tell. But Xinran's people were shocked that their superb disguise skills could be discovered!
This has never happened before!
Xinran stared wide-eyed, momentarily speechless.
He Jiuniang twitched her fingers, and the foreman, who had fainted, slowly woke up. He looked at Xinran and cried, "Miss, save me!"
This simple phrase, "Girl, save me," dragged Xinran into the mess. Whether she admits it or not, she can't escape responsibility.
What nonsense are you talking about?
Xinran couldn't help but take two steps back. She never expected her subordinates to be so unreliable, betraying her like that!
