Dong Danmo had no time to think about whether someone would come to her rescue or whether she should accept their help.
She was really anxious!
If the hairpin is lost, not only will her life be in danger, but her young mistress, Dongdan Shuiyue, will definitely be in deep trouble!
The crowd that had been tightly surrounding Dongdan Motong quickly dispersed, and a two-meter-wide space soon appeared around her.
If her hairpin had simply fallen to the ground, it would have been confined to this small area at most.
But Dong Danmo quickly looked around, and found that the ground was empty except for rubble and dirt!
"Who stole my hairpin?" Dong Danmo suddenly raised her head, her eyes slightly red with excessive anger and panic. "You'd better hand it over to me immediately. That's not something you can handle. If I find out..."
She hadn't finished speaking.
Suddenly, a group of people rushed towards Yanjing with the momentum of a full-scale attack.
As the leader charged forward on his sword, he shouted in a blatantly arrogant and childish manner, "This road is mine, this tree is mine, if you want to pass, leave your toll! If you're robbing us, leave your stuff and we'll let you live."
"Where did this scoundrel come from, daring to even mess with our Dongdan family?" Dongdan Motong was furious at the moment when he suddenly roared and turned to Lu Yang, shouting, "Seventh Uncle, please use your divine sense to search our own people first; there are only men here, whoever is carrying a gold hairpin is that audacious thief! This gold hairpin was given to me by Miss Shuiyue, and I must find it back!"
"Tsk tsk, it seems you're both traitors and bandits this time, misfortune upon misfortune." Zhuang Shaoze, who had somehow acquired a pretentious folding fan, held it in his hand and waved it back and forth in a cheeky manner, saying magnanimously, "Since you're so pitiful, then how about this, Grandpa will give you a 20% discount. You can take 20% of your goods and leave the rest behind."
The Ho family scions: "..."
Then we really must thank you on behalf of Miss Shuiyue!
Upon hearing this, Dong Danmo clenched her fingers tightly at her sides and suddenly turned around to stare intently at Zhuang Shaoze. Sure enough, from Zhuang Shaoze's fan-waving movements, she could vaguely see the Zhou family's clothes he was wearing underneath.
Miss guessed correctly; the Zhou family did indeed send people to retaliate!
But why now of all times?!
The hairpin is gone; even if she wanted to slip away in the chaos, she couldn't!
"Do you really want to provoke a conflict between the Zhou family and the Dongdan family? If you retreat now, we can pretend nothing happened and return to Yanjing. I will not mention to my clan that I encountered you on the way," Dongdan Motong said with a glimmer of hope.
"Who said we are from the Zhou family? Don't make false accusations against others!" Zhuang Shaoze waved his small fan even more enthusiastically.
"Exactly," Bai Yusheng added, as if afraid that Dong Dan Motong was too stupid to understand their unspoken meaning: "The Zhou family is upright and honest, and all their members are incorruptible and of noble character; unlike your Dong Dan family, who are two-faced, hypocritical, and full of petty thieves who have done countless selfish and despicable things behind the scenes."
This blatant favoritism and denigration is something that Dong Danmotong couldn't possibly agree with;
At this moment, almost all the members of the He family were convinced that the group of people in front of them were from the Zhou family.
Besides the person who had followed Ji Fengyao and the others all the way here, there was someone who had been hiding in the deep forest for a long time.
