A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Miss Shen asked the servant to call a rickshaw and said to Gui'er, "You can only bear the inconvenience and pretend to be my maid and walk with me."

Gui'er said to Miss Shen gratefully, "Thank you, Sister Fengshu."

Then Miss Shen sat in the rickshaw, and Guier pretended to be a maid who followed the lady out and walked beside the rickshaw.

As soon as she left the intersection of this area, she saw patrol police checking people on the roadside, and there were people in plain clothes assisting them. Guier quickly lowered her head.

Fortunately, when they walked over, those people only looked at Miss Shen sitting in the rickshaw.

After crossing the intersection and walking a little further, Miss Shen stopped the rickshaw and said to Guier, "It should be fine after this. Come on up and sit down. You're tired from walking."

Gui'er was already feeling dizzy and hurried to get in the car.

The rickshaw took them both to Director Wang's villa.

Director Wang and Yulan were very surprised by Gui'er's arrival. Gui'er whispered to Miss Shen, "Sister Fengshu, please go back. If you stay here any longer, I'm afraid you'll be implicated."

Miss Shen said worriedly, "Are you okay here alone? How about I stay?"

Gui'er said hurriedly, "Really, that's not necessary. Don't worry, I'll be fine. By the way, I've sent Ah Cheng out to investigate. Can you find a servant to meet him near our house and prevent him from falling into the trap? When the time comes, tell him I'm here with my brother-in-law."

Miss Shen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go first." Then she got on a rickshaw and left.

Gui'er told Director Wang everything that had happened at the Sha Mansion. Yulan quickly checked the wound on Gui'er's head and cursed, "You heartless thing! You didn't even spare a little girl. Look how badly you've hurt her."

Director Wang walked back and forth in the living room with his hands behind his back, muttering to himself, "Old Zhou went so far this time, it's probably not just because he wants to get me." After saying that, he glanced at Gui'er suspiciously.

Gui'er knew he wanted to stand by and watch, so she quickly said, "Brother-in-law, Director Zhou did this because he was unhappy with our family's decision to join your faction. He was very optimistic about my eldest brother and even came to our house to ask for a bribe, but my eldest brother refused. That's how things turned out. Our family is a warlord, and the Communist Party would target us for rebellion. How could we possibly be collaborating with the Communists?"

Director Wang sighed after hearing this and said, "Your eldest brother is also a fool. When Director Zhou came to your house to ask for a bribe, you should have given him at least a little. He doesn't understand the ways of the world. No wonder he wants to get rid of you."

Gui'er couldn't believe her ears. It was obvious that Director Wang didn't want to intervene. She quickly said, "But brother-in-law, if Director Zhou eliminates our family, then you'll be next. Everyone knows that my eldest brother is your right-hand man."

At this time, Yulan also said: "My dear, you have to take care of this matter, otherwise we will be blamed. How can I and the baby in my belly live in peace? I might as well die." Then she started to cry.

Director Wang quickly supported her and comforted her, saying, "Oh, my dear, when did I say I didn't care? I'm already thinking of a solution. Okay, I'll go find out first. You guys stay home."

As he said this, he asked someone to arrange a car to go out.

Gui'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yulan asked the maid to bring some wound medicine, carefully removed the gauze, and applied the medicine to Guier again.

Gui'er didn't expect that Yulan was one of the few people who truly cared about her at this time. She was very grateful and sighed, "No wonder the saying goes that those who are righteous are mostly butchers, and those who are most ruthless are scholars."

She suddenly saw Director Wang's daughter hiding in a corner and peeking. She quickly said to Yulan, "Sister Yulan, I'm afraid I'm wanted now. Just in case, could you please find me another place to stay?"

Yulan glanced at Director Wang's daughters hiding in the corner, then turned around and said to Gui'er with a smile, "Don't worry about these girls. If they dare to sue, go ahead. My family and I are in the same boat. If their father gets implicated and goes to jail, I don't think they will be able to eat well, wear clothes, and go to school. They should all go to work as waitresses in restaurants or work as maids in small workshops."

Director Wang's eldest daughter stood up from the corner in a flash, looking very angry. She glared at Yulan and Guier for a few seconds, spat, turned around and left, and her youngest daughter followed her.

It seems that Yulan has really established a firm foothold in the Wang family. Even if Director Wang's daughter dislikes her, she dare not do anything to her.

Yulan thought for a moment, then suddenly pulled Guier into her bedroom, took out a cheongsam from the closet and asked her to change into it. Guier was a little puzzled, and picked up the cheongsam to try it on herself. It was more than one size too big.

Yulan said, "It's okay. It's a little too big, so change into it quickly. If I wear you out like this, people will get suspicious."

Guier had no choice but to change into it. After putting it on, she found that the slit of this cheongsam was very high, reaching the middle of her thighs. The slits of the cheongsams Guier usually wore only reached her knees.

Yulan smiled and said to her, "You are already a grown-up girl, don't worry about it, come with me, and don't carry this shoulder bag if it doesn't match your clothes."

Guier took out a pocket pistol from her bag and said, "No, this is something my second brother gave me. I have to carry it with me."

Yulan was a little frightened when she saw the gun, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay, then you can wear it." Then she took out a gauze hat and asked Guier to wear it to cover the wound on her head.

Then he took Gui'er to the door of a small building near Director Wang's house. After knocking on the door, a heavily made-up woman in her 40s came inside. Gui'er could tell at a glance that she was not a decent person because the slit of her cheongsam was up to her thigh. However, she was wearing gold and silver all over her body, and it was obvious that she was a very rich person.

Yulan said to her, "Sister, this is my younger sister from my mother's family. She's a female student. Something happened at home, and I want her to come to your place for shelter." Then she turned to Guier and said, "Call her Sister Hua quickly."

Gui'er called out sweetly, "Hello, Sister Hua."

Sister Hua pinched Gui'er's face and said, "Your family is full of beautiful girls. They look so delicate and tender. If you are willing to let me take care of her, she will definitely have a bright future."

Yulan smiled and said, "Excuse me, Sister Hua. She's a female student with a bright future, unlike me. You can just let her stay here for two days. Don't worry about the food and accommodation expenses, I'll pay for it."

Sister Hua smiled and said, "Look at what you said. This is really alienating."

Yulan smiled and said to Guier, "Just stay here with Sister Hua. You can go back after you finish your housework. Tell Sister Hua if you need anything." Then she turned and left.
