Chapter 341 Reaping the consequences
Chapter 341 Reaping the consequences
Li Qianru kept twisting her handkerchief. What should she do? What should she do?
These idiots are so stupid, no wonder they can only be such lowly bandits.
"Miss Protection."
The five guards she brought with her were quickly knocked to the ground, all unconscious.
Miss He at the back ordered the driver to move the carriage back a little. This was strange. Why were these people only going after Li Qianru? Was this her plan?
"what!"
Li Qianru and her maid were grabbed by the bandits and fell onto the official road.
"Sigh~"
Looking at her rubbed palms, Li Qianru was extremely angry. She had never suffered such an injustice since she was a child.
"Miss, how are you?"
Her personal maid rushed over and stood in front of her, her thin body shaking constantly.
"What do you want to do? Get out of here if you know what's best for you. Otherwise, if anything happens to my young lady, you won't be able to survive!"
"Hey, you little beauty, you are already a prisoner, but you are still so arrogant, you don't want to live anymore!"
She was scared in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she remained calm and looked at the person in front of her with disdain. "You got the wrong person. If you keep doing this, I won't pay the remaining money."
"got the wrong person?"
"Hahaha, why are you saying so much? Just finish the task quickly, collect the money and live happily ever after!"
Li Qianru retreated under the protection of the little maid, "I've already told you, you, you've made a mistake, your mission is for men!"
Shen Li raised her eyebrows, it was indeed her!
Looking back, she saw that Miss He was quite sensible. The carriage was gone now, so even if Li Qianru wanted to ask for help, there was no one to turn to.
There were a few people standing behind Shen Li's carriage, staring at the two of them with wary eyes. It was obvious that they were afraid that they would come over to help.
Seeing the people in front of her getting closer and closer and seeing their disgusting faces, Li Qianru's stomach churned and she looked around for help.
Damn it, where is He Xinyi? Why isn’t she behind me? Damn bitch, she let me down at the critical moment.
She could only look towards Shen Li and the others in front of her for help. When she saw the man leaning against the carriage with his arms folded, watching the excitement, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, but also a hint of deep resentment.
"Sir, save me!"
A big man in front of Shen Li frowned and looked at them, "Do you know each other?"
"know!"
"do not know."
The big man looked suspicious and asked, "Why are you standing here if I don't know you?"
Shen Li shrugged her shoulders and said innocently, "Can't you see? Just watch the fun!"
The big man looked at her with vigilance in his eyes. This young man looked young and thin and weak, but he had an aura that could not be ignored. He was not a simple person, so it would be best not to interfere in this matter.
"In this case, I hope you won't interfere."
"it is good."
"Ah~"
"Do not……"
The little maid standing in front of Li Qianru was pulled away. Two men grabbed her who was about to speak and covered her mouth with their hands. Another man took off his socks and stuffed them into her mouth.
"Ugh~ Ugh..."
The smell was so overpowering that Li Qianru rolled her eyes. Through her tearful eyes she watched a sharp dagger slashing towards her face.
Do not……
It shouldn't be like this!
"Hmm~"
She felt a sharp pain on both sides of her cheeks. As a delicate lady, she had never experienced such pain before. She rolled her eyes and fainted.
"Brother, the person is unconscious."
"Well, the employer's mission has been completed, so don't worry about her."
"All right!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his two hands loosened and He Qianru fell limply to the ground. As luck would have it, her left cheek hit the ground.
"Hmm~"
The severe pain woke her up briefly, but she then passed out again.
The little maid was dumbfounded, she kept swallowing saliva and cold sweat oozing from her forehead. If the young lady became like this, what good ending would she have when she went back?
"Catch that little girl."
A strong man came up to grab her, and she didn't even struggle, "Brother, what should we do with this little girl?"
"Give her a blow to the face, or she will have no chance of survival if she returns."
The little maid came back to her senses and looked at them with tearful eyes. She did not resist, but closed her eyes, silently waiting for the pain on her face.
"Let's go."
"Yes."
After watching the fun, it’s time to set off on the journey. After this experience, I believe she won’t follow behind again.
Shen Li didn't think there was anything wrong in ruining her face. After all, she didn't do it herself. She was just returning to her what Li Qianru wanted to do to her.
If someone respects me one foot, I will repay him one yard. If someone bullies me one foot, I will bully him one yard.
When He Xinyi heard the screams coming from the front, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva. While she was feeling scared, she also had to think about how to explain to the Queen Mother when she returned.
After all, they were traveling together, and if anything happened to Li Qianru, he would not be able to escape punishment.
Thinking of this, she got out of the carriage, stood on the shaft, looked at the road, and suddenly saw a sharp stone.
She has nothing to do with this matter. Even if the Queen Mother is implicated, she will not go too far. At the very least, it cannot be made public.
However, if this happens, the marriage might not be possible. After what happened to Li Qianru, the Li family actually bears a grudge against her and will definitely use the Queen Mother to cause trouble behind her back.
Now, there is only one way!
His pupils, which were out of focus at first, gradually became clear. He looked towards the stone, gritted his teeth, controlled the strength and angle, and threw himself towards it.
"Miss!"
"hiss!"
Her personal maid rushed over and said, "Miss, what are you doing?"
He Xinyi's face was pale, with a faint smile on her lips, "I'm fine, take me to bandage my wound."
"it is good."
In the carriage, looking at the calf that was still bleeding, the wound was not serious, but there was an excuse again. He Xinyi's lips curled up slightly. Now, Li Qianru could not blame herself.
Shen Li didn't pay attention to what happened afterwards. They had already distanced themselves from each other. Unless they didn't rest at night, they would not be able to catch up.
Shen Li's journey took a whole month. Sometimes, when the road was wide, she would speed up. Chi Yan ran very fast at first, but with people and a carriage following behind him, plus two heavy mahogany boxes, his speed could not be much faster.
Chi Yan had been about to strike several times, and it was only after Shen Li secretly gave it extra food that it continued to move forward and speed up.
It took nearly a month to complete this project. When we returned to Jiangnan, it was the end of April, when the rain was heaviest.
Everyone likes the misty Jiangnan region, which is picturesque and like a paradise on earth.
Once again unable to travel due to the rain, Shen Li was leaning on the windowsill with his chin propped up, gazing into the distance, although he could not see far due to the mist and rain.
The closer she got to home, the more anxious she felt, and the softer she became.
It was raining outside the window, and there were no pedestrians on the street. Only a few shops were still open. It was this scene that soothed the anxiety in her heart.
