All four women inside the car rolled to a corner.

Jin Kui was slightly stronger, gripping the carriage shaft tightly with one hand and pulling Gu Hua with the other.

Gu Hua used the leverage to steady herself.

Biyu was pinned down by Gu Wanru.

The carriage tilted completely, and the four of them couldn't get up for a while.

The coachman was also thrown out. He scrambled to his feet, grabbed his whip, and rushed forward, his voice trembling with panic: "Where...where did this scoundrel come from, daring to kill a horse from the Duke of Yong's mansion?"

But when he calmed down and looked, he saw four or five masked, burly men, and he turned pale with fright.

This isn't just being a scoundrel, this is robbery!

He was about to shout when the burly man in the lead brandished his knife, and blood spurted from the driver's neck. He died before he could even utter a sound.

Gu Wanru panicked and tried to get up in a flustered manner, pinching Biyu's face hard with her fingers, which made Biyu slap her back in pain.

Jin Kui and Gu Hua helped each other climb out of the carriage. When they saw the coachman lying in a pool of blood, they both turned pale. Then, seeing the several fierce-looking, burly men, they both retreated back into the carriage.

Gu Wanru and Biyu then climbed out, only to be knocked back by Gu Hua and the other two.

Gu Wanru screamed in anger, "You're crushing me! Get out of here!"

"There are bandits outside," Gu Hua whispered.

Gu Wanru suddenly fell silent, lifted a corner of the carriage curtain, and saw a pool of blood and a coachman with his throat slit. She was so frightened that she quickly fell back into the carriage.

She couldn't help but regret that she had only focused on keeping a low profile and hadn't brought any guards.

"Listen up, you inside," the man outside whispered.

The four women in the car all perked up their ears.

"We only want Gu Wanru, the young mistress of the Duke of Yong's mansion. If you bring her out, you can all keep your lives."

Gu Wanru's eyes widened instantly, her face turning deathly pale. Biyu and Jin Kui both looked at Gu Wanru at the same time, and she saw a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes.

Jin Kui, that bitch, dared to betray her. Gu Wanru could tell from the faces of the three women that they would all hand her over.

Those people outside don't look like good people. If I fall into their hands, everything will be over.

Even if she doesn't die, she'll definitely lose her innocence. The Duke's mansion has always treated her badly; if she's captured, she'll only face death.

She had never felt so desperate.

Gu Hua tried her best to calm down.

This didn't happen in her previous life, and she couldn't understand why someone would kidnap Gu Wanru.

Although capturing Gu Wanru could ruin her, she cannot be used as bait to eliminate Aunt Pei and Mu An.

Chi Yan and his gang are hiding in Yichun Courtyard, which is only two streets away. Once they lure the people outside away, they can rush out of the alley and call for help...

Anyway, since they've captured Gu Wanru, all she has to do is get out of the car, obey, and hide. That way, she can find an opportunity to send a message, rescue Gu Wanru who has already been kidnapped, and even make Gu Wanru believe that she has truly forgiven them.

Without thinking it over, Gu Hua immediately decided to climb down from the carriage.

Gu Wan instinctively grabbed Gu Hua, "You can't leave!"

His gaze suddenly stopped on Gu Hua's face, which bore a resemblance to his own. After this period of meticulous care, her already beautiful face looked much more elegant than her haggard face after the miscarriage.

An idea suddenly popped into her head.

Anyway, it was pitch black, and outsiders probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Gu Wanru gritted her teeth, "This is your fate!"

After speaking, he shoved Gu Hua away forcefully: "She is the young mistress of Gu Wanru."

It just so happens that her arrangement for today was set up for Gu Hua and Bi Yu, so she deliberately dressed very simply.

Jin Kui gasped and reached out to grab Gu Hua, but Gu Wanru grabbed her by the neck, pulled the gold hairpin from her hair, and pressed it against Jin Kui's neck, threatening her in a low voice: "If you dare to speak, I'll kill you!"

Biyu frowned.

Gu Wanru quickly said to her, "Biyu, when we get back I will elevate you to the rank of concubine and grant you a good social status."

Biyu was taken aback; this was what she had always dreamed of, and she couldn't help but feel conflicted.

Jin Kui panicked and, disregarding everything else, screamed outside, "The young mistress is in the carriage... Ah!"

Gu Wanru grabbed the gold hairpin and, like a madwoman, stabbed Jin Kui's neck several times. Jin Kui covered her bleeding neck, her eyes wide open, her mouth agape, unable to utter a sound.

Jade was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she tried her best to curl up in the corner.

Gu Hua was pushed out of the carriage, rolled on the ground, and landed right next to the coachman, her skirt stained with blood.

She tried to get up quickly, but a man grabbed her and threw her to the two people behind her.

"I'm not Gu Wanru... Waaah."

He was instantly gagged and tied up.

Gu Hua's eyes reddened as she glared angrily at Gu Wanru, struggling fiercely and making muffled noises.

She knew Gu Wanru was vicious, but she never expected her to be this vicious in front of others.

The men hesitated upon hearing the shouts from inside the car and the words spoken by the bound woman.

The leading man stepped forward and lifted the curtain, seeing a woman lying in a pool of blood, another woman holding a blood-stained gold hairpin, and the last one trembling and cowering to the side in fear.

When Gu Hua saw Jin Kui covered in blood, tears streamed down her face.

She died to save herself!

The man's sinister gaze swept over Gu Hua and Gu Wanru's faces.

Gu Wanru screamed madly at Gu Hua, "Young Madam, Jin Kui dared to push you out! She deserves to die! This servant has avenged you!"

Gu Hua tried to struggle, but was pinned down and unable to move, only able to make muffled noises.

The man in the lead frowned, turned to look at Gu Hua, and gestured to his accomplice to take the towel out of Gu Hua's mouth.

“I’m not Gu Wanru, she is!” Gu Hua hurriedly said.

The burly man looked at the two men's clothes and jewelry. The one who killed someone in the car was wearing a dark ochre dress, and his hair was not decorated much except for a gold hairpin in his hand.

His face looked bitter and resentful, his skin was rough and had a few pimples; he looked worse than even the head maid huddled to the side.

The delicate-skinned girl who was pushed out was dressed simply, but the fabric was very precious, and the jade hairpin in her hair alone was worth a fortune.

The burly man grabbed Gu Hua's chin and said, "You dare to lie to me! Your face is so tender it's like you could squeeze water out of it, while the one in the car looks as rough as old tree bark."

Gu Wanru was so angry she felt like she was going to vomit blood.

But at this moment, all I can do is belittle myself.

“Sir, you have sharp eyes. I am just a maidservant accompanying the bride. She is the young mistress of the Duke of Yong’s mansion.”

Gu Hua panicked and struggled to speak: "I am her sister Gu Hua. Judging from my hairstyle, I am an unmarried woman."

The man looked at his companion suspiciously and asked, "Is that a hair accessory for an unmarried woman?"

Several sleazy-looking men with foul faces approached.

"No, look at her jade hairpin, that's something usually only ladies can wear."

One of the men pulled out the magnolia hairpin and presented it to the leader with both hands: "Boss."

The leading man took the jade hairpin and touched it: "This warm jade, which is only found in our Western Regions, is indeed a priceless treasure."

Gu Hua panicked when she saw him put the jade hairpin in his pocket: "You can't take it... Waaah!"

Her mouth was gagged again.

Gu Wanru suddenly said, "Master, she's going to meet her lover today, and she deliberately styled her hair in a lady's bun. If you don't believe me, check if her virginity mark is still there."

Gu Hua felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this.

The man in the lead had a bright idea: "Great idea."

After saying that, he personally rolled up Gu Hua's sleeves, revealing her smooth jade-like skin.

"Wow, there's no virginity mark."

The men watching stared at Gu Hua's fair arms with greedy eyes, and some even reached out to touch them.

Gu Hua sobbed and struggled to pull her arm back from the man's grasp, leaving red marks on it as she struggled.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's so tender, it's already bruised in such a short time."

The leading man stared wide-eyed; if they weren't in such a dangerous situation, he would have taken advantage of her on the spot.

His cunning eyes then swept over the woman huddled in the corner.

Fearing that Biyu would betray her, Gu Wanru quickly said, "Master, this is Biyu, she is our young master's maid."

"Oh."

The man believed him and slammed his palm down hard on the back of Gu Hua's neck.

"take away."

Gu Wanru felt relieved upon hearing this.

To their surprise, the man in the lead gave them a sinister look.

"Leave neither of them alive!"

Gu Wanru was so frightened that her face turned ashen.

But it's too late to say that I am Gu Wanru now.
