Forced to be a concubine? I turned around and married the scumbag's father.

When Gu Hua was pushed out by Gu Wanru, she panicked for a moment. At the moment she was knocked unconscious, she heard someone say to kill the rest of the people. Now she doesn't know if Gu Wanru has been killed.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, they must have had a purpose in kidnapping Gu Wanru.

It seems that when people ask her questions, there is no murderous intent in her eyes.

Gu Wanru might be of some use to them, so at least they won't kill her for the time being.

As long as you're alive, you'll always find a chance to escape.

Gu Hua quickly made up her mind, deciding to go with the flow and nodding firmly.

She imitated Gu Wanru's arrogant and domineering manner, shouting angrily: "You bunch of thugs, don't be so arrogant! I am Gu Wanru, the young mistress of the Duke of Yong's mansion. If you dare to touch me, you will all die a horrible death!"

Lu Laosan's eyes widened: "Girl, have you thought this through? Are you Gu Wanru or Gu Hua?"

Gu Hua was startled; they even knew her given name.

If she goes back on her word, it will only arouse their suspicion: "I am the real Gu Wanru!"

Lu Laosan turned and went out, and saw that the silver half-face mask concealed icy eyes and thin, knife-like lips.

"Gu Wanru..."

A cold glint slowly appeared on his thin lips: "Let the brothers have a taste of meat. Leave them alive, and when there are more people tomorrow morning, we'll strip them naked and throw them into the busiest street."

Lu Laosan was taken aback: "Young Master..."

Before the question could be finished, the white robe fluttered, and the person had already gone downstairs and left.

Lu Laosan scratched his head.

Although the young master is ruthless towards traitors and enemies, he is always gentle and polite towards women and children, and he never allows his brothers to bully women and children.

Why do I hate Gu Wanru so much today?

However, it's easy to understand that Gu Wanru, who appears to be a noblewoman and has a gentle demeanor, is extremely vicious towards her half-sister.

It's understandable that the young master hates her.

Moreover, Mu Junyan was their mortal enemy, having killed so many brothers in the Southern Frontier. To humiliate his daughter-in-law was to slap him in the face.

Gu Hua, who was eavesdropping by the door, was so frightened she almost jumped out of her skin.

This so-called young master is too vicious!

That's absolutely inhuman!

Huang Lao Er excitedly crowded around: "Young Master bestowed her upon us? My goodness, I've never seen such a beauty in my entire life. I must eat my fill to do justice to my dead brother."

He waved his arm at his brothers: "Brothers, the young master is letting us have our fill today, how about we let the older brother have his turn first?"

The men had all seen the fairy-like beauty of the little girl inside the box, and they were all incredibly excited.

"Second brother, go first. The younger brothers can take their time."

"Second brother, if you don't take an hour or two, you're a coward."

A group of men were spouting dirty jokes. Huang Lao Er, while happily unbuckling his belt, chuckled and said, "I'm no ordinary guy. This one has a hook. I guarantee you'll be completely captivated by the moans of this pretty girl."

Hearing the lewd laughter outside, Gu Hua felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

It's all my fault for making the wrong judgment, but there's no reasoning with these people.

She quickly ran to the window inside the room and pushed it open with all her might.

Fortunately, the window was unlocked, and it was pitch black outside, so we couldn't see anything.

But then I realized it was upstairs, and it was too dark to see which floor it was.

Seeing that the thugs were about to push the door open, she didn't have time to think and climbed onto the window and jumped out.

Even if it means death, she cannot be humiliated.

As Gu Hua jumped, the wind whistled past her ears.

It's very tall.

Before I could finish thinking, thud...

It fell into the water instantly.

The icy water rushed in from all directions. Startled, Gu Hua swallowed several mouthfuls of water. The fear of dying in her previous life returned. Her body was ice cold and her limbs were stiff. She sank straight down.

She had no idea how deep it was, and was filled with despair.

"This is the third floor! How dare that bitch jump? She's asking for death! You all go downstairs now, block the drains, and guard all the entrances. We can't let her get away."

A faint sound came from above, followed by a loud thud as someone jumped down.

Gu Hua suddenly woke up.

She can't die!

There was still a great revenge to be taken, and her mother was unaware of her existence.

She absolutely cannot die.

Her survival instinct brought her back to her senses, and she struggled to swim toward another faint light.

Just as they were about to surface, their feet were suddenly grabbed.

She struggled to paddle, but she couldn't match the other person's strength, and she was dragged into the water.

Gu Hua choked on several mouthfuls of water at the beginning, and now that she had exhausted her last breath, her body went limp and she was carried out of the water.

Her chest felt like it was going to explode, her head was buzzing, and her vision was blurry.

You must not faint.

She bit her lip hard; the taste of blood and the pain brought her back to her senses.

She was hanging upside down, and the swaying scenery made her dizzy. She tried her best to calm herself down and observed the surroundings.

This is a theater, with a large stage in the middle.

There were so many people that I couldn't see what they were dressed like.

I vaguely heard them mention the Crown Prince, the Young Master...

The autumn night was quite cool.

Soaked to the bone and freezing cold, Gu Hua was so tense that her blood seemed to freeze. She knew she was about to be carried back upstairs, and if she were locked up again, she would be finished.

"You filthy bitch, you've soaked me all over. I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Huang Lao Er was cursing and swearing all the way when suddenly he was pulled by something.

Looking back, a sudden, sharp pain shot through his legs. He screamed and threw the person aside, clutching his groin and writhing on the ground in agony.

People gathered around upon hearing this, and Lu Lao Er, who was upstairs, stuck his head out to look. Someone came over with a torch.

"Oh my god, you..."

The crowd stared at the girl who was holding a broken piece of wood and pointing it at them; a bloody strip of meat hung from the top of the broken wood.

Someone shouted in surprise: "She castrated the eldest son!"

"She dared to hurt Third Brother! Kill her!"

Lu Laosan panicked and shouted for them to stop while he jumped straight down from the building.

“We can’t kill her. If we kill her here, the Duke of Yong will not let us go! None of you will be able to go home.”

This worked.

Everyone hesitated for a moment.

"He dared to hurt Third Brother, we can't just let this go!" Huang Lao Er's close brother was furious.

Lu Laosan glanced at the trembling woman behind him and said coldly, "Brothers, you can do whatever you want, but leave her alive. Throw her out first thing tomorrow morning. We'll report back to our benefactor and get five hundred gold coins."

Upon hearing this, the men all roared with excitement.

In despair, Gu Hua slammed the wooden stick hard on the ground, breaking off the bloody tip and pointing the clean end at herself.

He screamed at the top of his lungs, "If you dare touch me, I'd rather die!"

With a swift movement, Lu Laosan sent the wooden block flying from Gu Hua's hand.

"You hurt my brother, and you think you can die so easily? Not so easy!"

Suddenly, someone rushed in through the door.

"It's bad! The Patrol Division and the Black Armor Guards are just one street ahead. They'll be here soon."

Everyone panicked.

Lu Laosan's face darkened: "Don't panic. You two take the second eldest brother through the back path. The rest of you, do as usual. This is a theater, and the patrol battalion usually checks it. We've never been discovered before, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

Upon hearing this, everyone calmed down and hurriedly went back to change into their own acrobatic costumes and theatrical costumes.

When Lu Laosan turned around, the woman had disappeared.

It was pitch black all around, with various boxes and pavilions, so it wouldn't be difficult to hide or find someone.

But right now, the patrol battalion and the Duke of Yong's black-armored guards are about to arrive!

Old Lu stomped his foot in anger: "You stinking woman!"

He quickly grabbed the two of them: "Find someone right away!"

We absolutely cannot let the patrol battalion and the Black Armor Guards discover that they were the ones who kidnapped the people.

Otherwise, this spy den in southern Xinjiang would have been wiped out!

Mu Junyan rode his warhorse at great speed. The black-armored guards were well-trained, each riding a warhorse that had seen battle.

They ran ahead calmly and at top speed.

The patrol officers usually only catch petty thieves and brawlers; they have no formal training. They had to exert all their strength to keep up with Mu Junyan's large group.

The leader, Mu Junyan, wore his usual stern expression, devoid of any other emotion, his eagle-like eyes scanning the surroundings.

The daughter-in-law of the Duke of Yongguo's mansion was kidnapped, and within a quarter of an hour, martial law was imposed throughout Bianjing City, and all four city gates were closed.

The patrol battalion and the Black Armor Guards searched house to house.

Mu Junyan kept wondering where the criminals might be hiding.
