A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

It happened to rain that day, and the roads were muddy, making it difficult to go shopping, so Miss Shen and Gui'er could only stay in their room after dinner.

Gui'er was reading in her room. After a while, she suddenly heard footsteps in front of the door. The person took two steps and stopped, then took two more steps.

Gui'er felt something was strange. Normally, if she was not asleep, the door would be ajar, but today there was a stranger there, so she went over and locked the door from the inside.

Just after locking the door, someone suddenly knocked loudly. Gui'er was startled. She was a lady after all, and ordinary servants would never dare to knock on the door like this. Sha Yanyao and his wife almost never took the initiative to enter her room.

So she stood up and asked loudly, "Who is it? Who is outside?"

There was no answer, so they knocked on the door again, "bang, bang, bang." But actually, they were not knocking, they were banging on the door.

Gui'er sensed something was amiss and shouted, "Who on earth is this? How dare you be so presumptuous?"

The person outside didn't respond, and after a while, there was no sound.

Gui'er lay on the ground and looked out through the crack in the door. She didn't see anyone's feet, but she didn't dare to go out, fearing that the person outside had not left yet. At the same time, she was very puzzled, wondering why no one responded even though she shouted so loudly.

Unable to open the door, she opened the window and looked out. It was raining heavily today, and the sound of raindrops falling on the roof was very loud. There were few pedestrians on the road.

Guier knew that it would be unlikely to call anyone through the window, and Director Wang was at home. If she did that, wouldn't it be tantamount to suspecting him? So she decided not to go out. In the evening when it was time for dinner, Dingxiang would naturally come to call her. By then, everyone in the house would be there, and it should be safe.

Not long after, she suddenly heard the sound of fighting coming from the rooftop, "Yan Yao, Yan Yao." It was Miss Shen's voice. Gui'er hurried to the door and put her ear close to it. After listening for a while, there seemed to be no movement, but she was still scared, so she took out her pocket pistol, loaded the bullet, held the gun in one hand, and slowly opened the door with the other hand to look out.

It was quiet outside. Gui'er was a little suspicious whether she had heard it wrong. She tiptoed out and looked down at the railing of the stairs. Sha Yanyao seemed to be drunk and was sleeping soundly on the sofa in the hall. She remembered that the sound just now came from Sha Yanyao and Miss Shen's room on the third floor, so she walked up the stairs and came to the door of Sha Yanyao's room. She saw Director Wang's driver pressing on Miss Shen and stripping her clothes.

Gui'er was startled and wanted to shoot the driver, but she was afraid that the two were too close and would accidentally hurt Miss Shen, so she quickly stepped forward, picked up the stool next to the dressing table in the room, and smashed it on the driver's head. The driver felt pain and finally got off Miss Shen. Miss Shen jumped up, turned around and ran downstairs, not caring about her disheveled clothes. She ran down the stairs and ran straight out of the yard.

The driver seemed to be a little sober at this time. He turned around and rushed towards Guier. Guier did not hesitate this time and shot him in the head. Unfortunately, the driver was drunk and staggered and lost his aim. The bullet grazed his ear. Guier was a little panicked and fired two more shots at the driver.

"Bang...bang" Both bullets hit, one in the stomach and one in the shoulder. There were two bloody holes on the driver's body. Only then did he realize that he was shot. He lowered his head, and raised his hands in fear.

Although it was raining heavily outside, the sound of the gunshots was loud enough to be heard. The servants came out one after another to see what was happening. One of them carefully woke Sha Yanyao and said to him, "Master, the eldest young mistress just ran out in a disheveled state."

Sha Yanyao looked up, still a little sleepy, but he suddenly woke up when he saw Gui'er pointing a gun at Director Wang's driver, forcing him to come out of their bedroom. At this time, his wife also came out of her room. Seeing this scene, she opened her eyes wide in horror, her mouth open, not knowing what to say.

Gui Er forced the driver to come downstairs at gunpoint. When they reached the second floor, Director Wang also came out of Yulan's room. He was originally staggering out while adjusting his pants. When he saw this scene, he was stunned and shouted, "What's going on?"

Guier pointed a gun at the driver and walked all the way to the first floor lobby before saying to Sha Yanyao, "Brother, this man is bullying my sister-in-law in your room."

Sha Yanyao's eyes widened immediately. Blood was slowly flowing out of the man's body. He was so frightened that his face turned pale. He knelt down and said to Director Wang, "Director, save me. I don't want to die."

In fact, everyone now knows what happened, but no one knows what to do.

After a while, Director Wang frowned and said, "No matter what, send him to the hospital first."

The lady stepped forward and said, "Yes, yes, yes, someone come quickly."

Gui'er thought for a moment and said, "No, if he leaves like this, who will be responsible? He must write a confession and put his fingerprints on it."

The driver rolled his eyes when he heard this and shouted to Director Wang, "Director, please save me! I'm almost bleeding out! Please save me! I've been with you for so many years."

Director Wang had just opened his mouth to say something when Gui'er raised her gun again and said to Director Wang, "Director Wang, he's just a servant, and he dared to treat our young mistress like this. If he leaves like this without an explanation today, our family will lose all face. How will we survive in society in the future? If he doesn't write it, I'll kill him right now and tell everyone that he accidentally fell down the stairs."

After hearing this, Director Wang quickly said, "Write it, write it immediately."

So Guier quickly found a literate servant and wrote: "My name is So-and-so. On so-and-so day in Sha Mansion, I behaved frivolously and molested the eldest young lady. I was shot by the young lady with a pistol. I brought this upon myself and I am willing to bear any legal responsibility." Then she asked the servant to hold his hand down and press his fingerprints.

After that, he quickly called a few servants, carried him into the car and sent him to the hospital.

Director Wang opened his mouth to say something to Sha Yanyao, then sighed, shook his head and left.

As soon as Director Wang left, the lady seemed to come to her senses. She suddenly rushed up and slapped Gui'er hard in the face. Gui'er was caught off guard and fell to the ground with a burning pain on her face.

Sha Yanyao quickly stepped forward to help Gui'er up and said, "Mother, what are you doing?"

The lady pointed at Gui'er and said, "All our hard work has gone to waste because of what this little bitch did."

Sha Yanyao sighed and said, "That's enough. I've been getting bullied like a jerk by Wang these past few days. It's good that Gui'er is doing this. If he doesn't do things for me again, I'm going to make trouble for him. Now I have something to hold against him."

As he said this, he picked up the confession that Gui'er forced the driver to write and touched Gui'er's head.
