CHAPTER 189: CHAPTER 189: YOU CAUSE TROUBLE IN SOMEONE ELSE’S HOME, AND YOU THINK YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT?

The soldiers grew increasingly excited, just as they were about to continue their actions.

Their bodies went limp, and they fell to the ground, losing consciousness.

As they fell, two extraordinary figures appeared behind them.

It was Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan!

In an instant, Yinxing’s previously dull eyes were filled with surprise.

Her Young Madam had returned!

Her tears could not be restrained and fell down.

Pei Shu’er came over and draped a piece of clothing over Yinxing.

When Pei Shu’er saw Yinxing’s swollen hand, her heart surged, and she couldn’t help but hug her tightly, her eyes turning red.

"My dear Yinxing, you have suffered this time."

Yinxing threw herself into Pei Shu’er’s arms, crying softly.

"Young Madam, you’ve finally returned. Yinxing thought she wouldn’t be able to wait anymore."

If her reputation had truly been tarnished, then she would’ve had no desire to live.

Shiqi also looked at Pei Shu’er, his gaze unwavering, as if unable to tear his eyes away from her.

Immediately afterward, he felt a chill rising from his tailbone, shivering uncontrollably, as he looked towards Tang Zan.

Seeing the murderous intent in Tang Zan’s eyes, Shiqi quickly lowered his head and retreated into the shadows.

Now that the rightful owners had returned, he was once again the Shiqi who couldn’t face the light.

Pei Shu’er told Yinxing to remove the human skin mask and handed both pieces to herself before saying, "Let’s go, we’ll leave first."

The three of them exited the room, and Pei Shu’er walked to the stone house hall.

Tang Qingrou was pretending to nap with her eyes closed. Seeing Pei Shu’er standing in the stone house hall, she couldn’t help but frown.

"Pei Shu’er, how dare you disobey."

Pei Shu’er smiled lightly, "Obey? Why should I obey you? I am the master of this stone house; you come to others’ homes to cause trouble, and you think you’re justified?"

Tang Qingrou sneered, "But now, this place is Commander Qian’s and my home, so it’s you who is causing trouble."

As she spoke, she walked towards Pei Shu’er, drew a knife from a soldier’s scabbard, and thrust it at Pei Shu’er.

Before the knife could reach, Tang Zan grabbed her wrist, and with a crack, Tang Qingrou’s wrist was shattered.

Tang Qingrou screamed in pain, her vision going black.

Tang Zan’s dark eyes made her feel scared to her core, her body trembling with cold.

The curse on the tip of her tongue didn’t dare to come out, and she didn’t even dare look at Tang Zan.

The man before her was simply too terrifying, like a looming storm; just the sight of him made her soul tremble with fear.

But hadn’t she already stopped fearing him before?

Why was she still afraid at this moment?

Pei Shu’er put down the hand hiding an arrow in her sleeve; she had intended to use this small arrow to hit Tang Qingrou’s wrist, but Tang Zan had intervened for her.

Looking at Tang Zan’s tall and upright back shielding her, Pei Shu’er felt a slight stirring in her heart.

She had always been strong-willed, accustomed to relying on herself, and had never thought of letting anyone stand up for her.

But when someone truly stood up for her, her heart was not without some stirring.

Aunt Lin, seeing this, hurried over to Tang Qingrou, and upon seeing her daughter’s wrist bones shattered, her eyes turned red as she glared viciously at Tang Zan.

"You little bastard, don’t forget, you’re not a Princely Heir anymore. Men, arrest this offender of Qing Rou for me."

Seeing the soldiers unmoved, Aunt Lin yelled, "Commander Qian holds Qing Rou dear to his heart; are you openly defying the commander’s orders?"

The soldiers began to advance towards them, and Pei Shu’er smiled elegantly.

"Think carefully, she’s just a plaything. Is it worth getting beaten for that?"

"Go ask around in the military camp, I’m Doctor Pei, and I’ve treated how many of you. If you’re confident you’ll never get sick, then go ahead."

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers hesitated. Commander Qian was their leader, but this task was already against the rules.

Doctor Pei was a capable doctor who had gained a small reputation in the camp, with rumors of saving those on the brink of death!

Though there was some exaggeration, everyone couldn’t help but believe it.

Thus, these soldiers, caught in a dilemma, made a choice not to offend either side.

Slacking off!

Slacking off was something they were professionals at.

Judging by the situation and acting accordingly, they were pros at that too.

Watching as over twenty soldiers couldn’t even graze Pei Shu’er’s clothes, Tang Qingrou screamed piercingly.

"If you keep this up, be careful, I’ll have Commander Qian deal with you."

Pei Shu’er smiled as she looked at Tang Qingrou, recalling Yinxing’s fearful demeanor just now, and wondering how much abuse Yinxing and the third household had suffered at her hands these past few days.

Thinking of this, she slapped Tang Qingrou hard and viciously on the face.

"Sorry, sister, you startled my eyes, and your noise startled my hands."

Tang Qingrou called out shrilly once more, as Pei Shu’er lifted her other hand and slapped Tang Qingning.

Tang Qingrou cursed angrily, "You little bitch..."

Smack!

A slap interrupted Tang Qingrou’s words.

"...bitch."

Smack, another slap.

In the stone house, the only sound was Pei Shu’er slapping Tang Qingrou.

Tang Qingrou was collapsing with rage as Aunt Lin rushed forward to deal with Pei Shu’er too.

But midway through, she was tripped by Tang Zan’s outstretched foot, crashing to the ground hard, her front teeth breaking on the stone floor.

Aunt Lin tried to come forward again, but Xuan Liu twisted her arms behind her back, tying her to a nearby pillar.

Tang Qingrou’s head buzzed from Pei Shu’er’s slaps, each time her curses were cut off by another slap.

And if she tried to use martial power, she was even less a match for Pei Shu’er, being completely and utterly suppressed.

Why was this happening, weren’t Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan particularly cowardly before, why are they both so fierce now?!

And she, just fifteen minutes ago, was the revered Miss Tang, the third branch’s people dared not speak their anger aloud, and even the soldiers had to watch her mood.

Now, she had been beaten into a pig’s head by Pei Shu’er.

Relying on her looks to get by, what capital did she have left now?

Even though she continually used her hands to protect her face, Pei Shu’er was more ruthless, slapping her hands as well.

Pei Shu’er laughed, "So, do you submit now?"

Tang Qingrou shouted at a soldier,

"Quick, go get Commander Qian."

Pei Shu’er wasn’t afraid; unless Commander Qian was dealt with, their third branch would always be under threat of being driven out.

She actually wanted to meet what kind of character this Commander Qian was.

Having reached the rank of commander, how could he be swayed by a prisoner like Tang Qingrou, as if he were some naïve hillbilly.

Soon, Commander Qian arrived, as he hadn’t been in the military camp today, but in the warehouse of this stone house.

At the moment, he was holding several modified down cotton coats.

His eyes bore an icy gaze.

"Arrest these two troublemakers for me."
