"Our, our young master didn't…"The servant waved his hands in panic and hurried to explain.
"Do your First Young Master hold a grudge against our Elder Miss? Even so, he should not do such a thing. You're trying to destroy her." Due to fear and panic, Mei Xue could not control her voice at all and cried out loudly.
"Bitch, shut up. Do you want us to be caught?" A ruffian had turned back and fiercely slapped Mei Xue twice before the servant reacted. He pulled Qin Yuru who was on the ground to his arm while he held Qi Tianyu's servant with the other hand, saying to the other ruffian.
"Let's go! It's not safe here."
Mei Xue's scream travelled so far in the empty woods. There was nobody at this time, but they were panic.
"Help, help, save me quickly." Mei Xue went ahead regardless and began to yell.
The ruffian wanted to stop Mei Xue's mouth but he could not find anything. He directly reached to tear Qin Yuru's light and colorful sleeve. It looked easy to tear. He ripped a large piece of her cloth, and a part of her arm was exposed.
He stopped Mei Xue's mouth with the torn sleeve.
The two ruffians dragged these persons and wanted to leave.
"Release my elder sister!" A howl was spred from behind these persons. They were shocked and looked into the distance. Qin Wanru ran out from behind a tree, followed by Qing Yue.
"Here comes two more people. It's a good deal." The ruffians were panic at first. Then, they were amazed.
They were younger than those two. The person who ran in the front was just a child.
A ruffian put Qin Yuru into the servant's arms and ran to Qin Wanru, preparing to catch Qin Wanru and her servant girl.
The servant was caught off guard that the ruffian would push Qin Yuru toward her. He was knocked down and kept beneath Qin Yuru.
While Mei Xue seeing Qin Wanru, her eyes sparkled with hope. She severely kicked the ruffian, who caught her, and the ruffian stepped back. Unexpectedly, Qin Yuru suddenly fell down and he stamped her feet.
As his feet slipped, he just fell down on Qin Yuru's body. The servant who wanted to get up fell heavily with a shriek of anguish.
Many people ran out from behind the shadow of the trees. They became speechless when they saw that Qin Yuru was caught between two men and looked so embarrassed. Although the servant was only 13 or 14 years old, he was a man. Not to mention that the ruffian was a 20 or 30 years old man.
Qin Yuru was sandwiched in with most of her hand exposed. She was heavily hit by the ruffian. At this time, she had slowly woken up and opened her eyes blankly.
"Hurry up! Hurry to save my Elder Sister!" Qin Wanru shouted to the stunned crowd.
Qing Yue immediately rushed forward and bravely stood in front of Qin Wanru. She picked up a stone and threw to the coming ruffian' face.
The ruffian never thought that the servant girl was so fierce and rascally threw a stone to him. Taking no notice, he was heavily attacked. When he looked back, he saw many people. Then, he felt a disaster is imminent. He turned around to pull up the other ruffian and left as quickly as possible.
Someone chased after them.
They were local people, so they knew the roads well. In a moment, they ran away from those people.
"Eldest Sister, Eldest Sister, are you ok?" Qin Wanru ran to Qin Yuru and stretched out her hands to support Qin Yuru. As she should be, her face was full of panic.
"You..." Qin Yuru was propped up. Being confused, she looked from Qin Wanru's face to herself with heavy leaden eyes.
"How could Qi Tianyu's servant be here?"
"Young Lady, it's First Young Master of the Qi Family who sent people to catch you."Mei Xue came over, hugged Qin Yuru and started crying. After surviving a disaster, she was out of control. She pointed to the servant and said angrily.
The servant had been in a panic for a long time. Now, he was pulled up by several old women from Qin Family, with his hands behind his back. Hearing Mei Xue' words, he shook his head and debted loudly. "Miss Qin, it's not our First Young Master. I found that someone would hurt you, so I wanted to help you. You're mistaken!"
The servant was always shrewd. He dared not say that it was Qi Rongzhi's idea, so he stated categorically that he happened to pass by.
"Young Lady, our First Young Master asked to see you. How can he hurt you? Don't you know his affection for you?"
The servant was anxious and said such words, for fear that he was got involved.
The others could not understand but Qin Yuru knew. She looked pale and was muddle-headed. She had no idea why things changed a lot.
"Yuru, what happened? What's wrong?" A gentle voice was heard. Qin Yuru raised her head and saw Shui Ruolan. The corner of her eyes twitched violently. "You... How can you be all right?"
"I... I'm not supposed to be okay?" Shui Ruolan was shocked as she asked.
"Just now, I heard that you had an accident. Thus, I ran over. Aunt Shui, I'm cheated." Qin Yuru blinked, suddenly threw herself to Shui Ruolan's arms and cried out. "Aunt Shui, that is ok if you have no trouble. I thought something was wrong with you."
"You thought something was wrong with me?" Shui Ruolan frowned and asked.
"Yes, the two men told me that. Where are the two men?" Qin Yuru had recovered herself now. She gnashed the teeth in anger as she knew her plan fall through. Right now, she knew what she could do was to shirk responsibility to Shui Ruolan.
"Eldest Sister, is the servant First Young Master of the Qi Family's? Why is he here? Does he have something with you?" Qin Wanru pulled her sleeves and pointed to the servant. Qin Yuru followed her finger and saw Qi Tianyu's servant. She did not know how to explain.
"Shall I put the finger on Qi Tianyu or not?"
"When is Elder Miss Qin on good terms with Miss Shui? Only one man can make you run out even without asking."
Qi Rongzhi came in with the crowds. Hearing they talked about her brother, she could not restrain herself. She came out of the crowds and said in a voice dripping with sarcasm.
Although she disliked her brother's obsession with Qin Yuru, she did not want to get him involved.
"You..." Qin Yuru set her eyes on Qi Rongzhi. Her heart began to pound. "Why is Qi Rongzhi here?"
"Miss Qin, I don't know what's wrong with you. Will you go out with him after a man delivering a message? Is this your family education in Ningyuan Army General's Mansion? As long as a man says something, you can run after him. Now, you want to get my brother involved. My brother is unfortunate. He has no relation with you now, but he is still associated with you. What are you up to?"
Qi Rongzhi sneered and set eyes on Qin Yuru's wrist. "Do you still want to get my brother involved? Just now, you were not properly dressed, pulled and pushed with other men. You have to come here because the two men told you something important?"
Qi Rongzhi did not want to let Qin Yuru go. Standing high, she sneered at Qin Yuru.
"I... I really came here on hearing that it concerns with Aunt Shui. I worried about Aunt Shui." Upon hearing Qi Rongzhi's words, Qin Yuru felt that a disaster was imminent. Qi Rongzhi wanted to frame her up, but she really dared not to get Qi Tianyu involved.
"Does it really concern with Miss Shui?" Qi Rongzhi said coldly.
Qin Wanru did not look up, with an expression that looked faintly ironical at the corner of her mouth. Qi Rongzhi and Qin Yuru were indeed "good friends". Under the circumstances, they acted in harmony.
"It really concerns with Aunt Shui. The man said that she had an accident." Qin Yuru cried with tears dripping down, looking extremely pitiable.
She lowered her head and looked very aggrieved. However, she actually looked at the ground, hoping to find Shui Ruolan's sachet, with which she wanted to fool Shui Ruolan.
If she found the sachet, her words could be mostly confirmed.
"Eh, whose sachet is that?" Qi Rongzhi's girl servant Chunxi suddenly screamed and pointed to a place nearby Qin Yuru.
"Right... Right. The two men brought a sachet to fool our Young Lady. They said Miss Shui had an accident. Our Young Lady worried about Miss Shui, so... so she came here. She fell into the wicked's trap." Mei Xue shouted.
Qin Yuru had trouble now. Whatever the consequences were, she would come to no good end. Therefore, she hoped to make amends for her fault with good deeds. She also knew the sachet. Hearing the sachet was there, she was overjoyed. She wished to express her loyalty by forestalling Qin Yuru.
Shui Ruolan was stunned. She touched her waist subconsciously and found her sachet lost. Her face changed a lot.
"Aunt Shui..." Qin Yuru cried so sadly as if she had an accident because of Shui Ruolan.
Shui Ruolan's hand trembled. A tiny hand reached over and pressed her hand softly. Shui Ruolan turned her head and saw Qin Wanru's big eyes with black and white sharply contrasted. There was a calm smile in her eyes.
Her trepidation seemed to dissipate. Shui Ruolan slowly calmed down.
"Give me the sachet!" She said quietly.
An old woman picked up the sachet and gave it to Shui Ruolan.
She received it and looked through it. Confusion flickered out of her eyes. She gently pushed Qin Yuru away and knitted her pretty eyebrows. "Yuru, why did you think that it's my sachet?"
