Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Only the second concubine hurried a few steps to Chi Tengjiang, her face filled with lingering fear, and said:

"It's Young Master Zhou! He... he's some stray cat from who-knows-where! He actually hurt Eighth Sister and Sixth Miss! Waaah, what are we going to do?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Tengjiang looked at Zhou Siyu with the dignified air of someone who had been through many battles.

“She’s lying.” Zhou Siyu didn’t know how to explain what had just happened, so she could only bend down, hug the cat to her chest, and look directly at Chi Tengjiang.

“I didn’t, Commander. You know me. I’ve been with you for so many years. Why would I lie about something like this? Besides, this stray cat is his.”

As she spoke, the second concubine glanced at the others.

The sixth concubine whispered, "Yes, Commander, look at the scratches on Eighth Sister's face and body, they're all from cat claws."

The others seemed to be on the same side, echoing the sentiment.

"Commander, we are all weak women. We had no choice but to have our servants use sticks to drive away this mad cat. But, but Young Master Zhou actually shot and killed someone."

The seventh concubine came over, hugged Commander Chi's arm, and sobbed as she poured out her heart:

"Waaaaah, Commander, if you had come back even a few steps later, we would have been scratched to death by this beast..."

"You must stand up for us! This is the Chi Mansion, how can we let him act so presumptuously, Commander..."

Six or seven beautiful women, their faces streaked with tears, wept so pitifully that it broke one's heart.

Chi Tengjiang, however, only felt a headache.

If it were anyone else, Commander Chi might have actually caught the cat and beaten it to death, but looking at the stubborn child, Commander Chi felt somewhat helpless.

Just then, Zhou Siyu pointed her gun at the second concubine.

This lying woman, Xingxing said no one can hurt her, not even this woman.

"No! Don't kill me!" Thinking of Zhou Siyu's posture when she said she would shoot, the second concubine was so frightened that her legs trembled and she hurriedly tried to hide behind Chi Tengjiang.

However, at Chi Tengjiang's single glance, the second concubine dared not move again.

"Tsk, put the gun down first."

Chitengjiang has seen all sorts of storms and waves, so he's not afraid of Zhou Siyu's gun.

"No, she's lying!"

Zhou Siyu was so anxious and at a loss that she didn't know how to explain what had just happened.

It's true that Xiao Hei scratched her just now, but... but she had someone hit her.

After sorting out her thoughts, Zhou Siyu said, "She was the one who had someone hit me, not Xiao Hei who hit her first."

Chi Tengjiang looked impatient. If these men were in the military camp, they would all be shot.

Zhang, the adjutant who had followed in, glanced around discreetly and whispered to Chi Tengjiang, "Commander, these are the young master's men."

Chi Tengjiang certainly knew who this was; otherwise, how could he have allowed Zhou Siyu to point a gun at his concubine?

"What a rebellious son! Even his partner is a rebellious son!"

Lieutenant Zhang nodded in agreement, then smiled and looked at Zhou Siyu, saying, "Young Master Zhou, please speak slowly. Are you saying that Eighth Concubine had someone beat you?"

Sensing that the person meant no harm, Zhou Siyu nodded and said, "She told someone to call me down for dinner, and if I didn't come down, she wouldn't give me any food."

Zhou Siyu cared a lot about this; not being able to eat meant going hungry, and going hungry was very uncomfortable.

Chi Tengjiang's temper flared up instantly: "Who said we wouldn't give you food? Our Chi family is so big, can't we support you?"

He was used to being in the barracks and had a loud voice. His shout startled Zhou Siyu so much that she almost dropped the gun in her hand.

The second concubine, standing to the side, rolled her eyes and added, "Well, I don't know anything about this either."

"You don't know? You've been managing the household for the past few years, and you say you don't know?" Chi Tengjiang stared at the second concubine with his hawk-like eyes, then looked at the others.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Zhang the adjutant curled his lips and looked at Zhou Siyu again, asking, "Was it after you finished eating that Eighth Concubine suddenly had someone beat you?"

Zhou Siyu had already put down the gun, but still held it in her hand, and replied, "It was her. She made me peel shrimp for her, and when I refused, she made me eat the shrimp shells."

This time, Zhou Siyu pointed to the little girl who was being held in the arms of a maid and slowly waking up.

The little girl was so frightened when she saw the black cat in Zhou Siyu's arms that she burst into tears again.

Chi Tengjiang glanced at her, and the little girl abruptly stopped crying, tears streaming down her face.

“You say it,” Chi Tengjiang said, looking at his youngest daughter.

Although this youngest daughter is usually a bit spoiled, she is always well-behaved and sensible in front of him. How dare she bully him like this behind his back?

These things are always done by servants or maids. When should guests do them?

The little girl trembled with fear at the mere sound of Chi Tengjiang's voice, and cried out:

"I didn't mean to, it was...it was my aunt who made me do it, sob sob..."

Having said all that, Chi Tengjiang understood perfectly well that this was all the trouble caused by the Eighth Concubine.

He looked around and thought to himself, "Maybe these people are involved too."

Chi Tengjiang waved his hand at Zhou Siyu: "You did the right thing, go up first."

Zhou Siyu frowned, then pointed the gun at the second concubine again: "She's lying."

Second wife: ……

That brat, why does he have to talk so much?

Seeing the second concubine's unpleasant expression, Zhang, the adjutant, almost couldn't help but laugh.

“I will punish her,” Chi Tengjiang assured.

Zhou Siyu was finally satisfied. She carried the cat, walked around the Eighth Concubine who looked like a puddle of mud on the ground, and went upstairs.

Chi Tengjiang fined everyone several months' wages, but the servants who helped the Eighth Concubine beat people were not so lucky.

These people were clearly servants of the Chi family, but they helped the Eighth Concubine beat someone without the steward's permission.

"Bang bang bang." Several gunshots rang out, and Chi Tengjiang killed all of these people in front of everyone.

"If you can't even tell the difference between master and servant, then you shouldn't be alive."

Chi Tengjiang's tone was unreadable, and everyone was so frightened that their legs went weak, fearing that they would be the next to be killed.

Even the eighth concubine, who had already woken up, didn't dare to get up and could only continue to pretend to be unconscious.

Zhou Siyu, who was upstairs, heard the gunshots but did nothing about it.

I put the little black cat in the sink and started washing it carefully.

He kept muttering, "You're naughty."

The little black cat didn't resist and squatted in the sink while Zhou Siyu washed its paws.

[Hmph, I was so good; I almost scratched that eighth concubine to death.]

In a small alley in the west of the city, Akahoshi threw away his gun and took down the man opposite him, who was also out of ammunition, with his bare hands, then knocked him unconscious with a single punch.

Only then did he have a moment to speak to 250 in his mind: 【Good job, I'll buy you some dried fish when we get back.】

A group of people rushed towards them. Akahoshi quickly flipped over the wall, and after recognizing the people, he jumped down.

"These are people from the Cheng family. Pass the word down; there will be an operation tonight."

The leader on the other side tied up the person on the ground and said respectfully, "Understood."

Back on his own turf, Akahoshi finally had the energy to watch the little black cat broadcast Zhou Siyu's story.
