The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 1411

Just as Qin Qingdong was about to listen carefully, he returned to Ying Shi Zhai with Chun Ge and two guards, having finished his argument with the big monk. Seeing the constables guarding the door in front of He Wenhan, he turned to enter, but Aru stopped him, saying, "Second Young Master, my young mistress is currently—"

"I know!"

Qin Qingdong was unimpressed. He walked straight up to Lord He, greeted him, and found the only empty seat to sit down. "I'd like to hear who here in the capital is courting death!"

He Wenhan nodded slightly, "Not only are you all so angry, but even I, at first glance, think that the villains are utterly depraved."

Having said that, he cupped his hands and looked at Song Guanzhou, "Please tell me in detail, young mistress."

Song Guanzhou smiled faintly, "Rest assured, sir, Guanzhou will not hide any details that will be helpful to the investigation."

After saying that, he picked up the words that had just been interrupted by the little monk.

Suddenly, we heard the sound of fire fighting outside. Soon, thick smoke filled the room and swept through the dormitory. Lin Shan protected me and two maids as we left. As the fire grew bigger, more and more monks came and went. Just as we were looking for the location of the women of the Duke's mansion, a crossbow bolt was shot at us.

"Crossbow?"

"Yes."

Song Guanzhou nodded in agreement.

"The first crossbow bolt was aimed at my brow, but it was blocked by Lin Shan. The subsequent crossbow bolts, thanks to Lin Shan, did not harm me. In this critical situation, Zhuang Gu and Ren Dong, who were the two women serving me, helped me to escape. But we hadn't gone far when Zhuang Gu was knocked to the ground by some young monks carrying water buckets and twisted her ankle."

"So now things are getting even more chaotic?"

"Yes, the fire spread in reverse all the way, and the smoke made it impossible to tell which way to go. Honeysuckle helped me walk not far, but we found that the place was remote. Just as we were about to turn back, I heard footsteps."

"Are they monks or people from the Duke's mansion looking for the young mistress?"

"neither."

Song Guanzhou lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "At that time, I knew that the odds were against me and I could not take any chances. I thought that Ren Dong was thin and weak and could not drag me far, so I simply hid there and looked for an opportunity to escape."

He Wenhan glanced at Song Guanzhou's cane and nodded in praise, "Young Madam is brave and resourceful, and remains calm in the face of danger. She is admirable."

"Ah! You flatter me, sir. It was merely a matter of survival. My servant and I fled into that abandoned Buddhist hall. During this time, I pulled out the gilded bronze hairpin from my hair and held it in my hand, hiding behind the prayer flags. Honeysuckle, being nimble on her feet, found a small bronze incense burner weighing a few pounds, held it in her hand, and climbed up the crossbeam by stepping on the broken and rubble."

Upon hearing this, Pei An gasped.

"Wouldn't it be more dangerous for you to hide down there?"

Song Guanzhou pointed to his injured leg, "I would like to climb up, but I am powerless. Ren Dong can climb up, and if I am in danger, she might be able to help me from her high position."

Even if it means one person escapes, it's better than both of them dying here.

Of course, Song Guanzhou would never say that at that time she was filled with resentment and almost had the idea of ​​dying together with others.

Killing one is no loss, killing two is a sure profit.

Of course, she also knew that she was half-crippled and a weak woman. With her decline already set, Song Guanzhou had almost thought of every possible scheme to reverse the situation, including using her beauty as a weapon.

Is your face more important or your life?

It is fate.

Song Guanzhou took a sip of hot tea and continued, "Just as I expected, we had barely hidden ourselves and before we could think things through, the two thieves had already entered the Buddhist hall with short knives in hand. They were the first to attack, and they started hacking wildly at the area under the offering table. Fortunately, my master and I hadn't hidden there, otherwise there wouldn't have been any of this."

She spoke calmly and slowly, but little did He Wenhan know that she was hearing a storm raging inside.

He never expected that the beautiful woman in front of him would have such courage. After hearing more, even though he had heard of many shocking murder cases, he could not hide his loss of composure.

"You actually took the initiative?"

He Wenhan asked in a trembling voice, and Pei An and Qin Qingdong were equally astonished, "Song Guanzhou, you are truly audacious!"

Upon hearing that Song Guanzhou had seen one of the thieves crouching and searching behind the Buddha statue, she actually took a hairpin, leaped onto the thief's back, and with a swift motion, killed him!

"What's the big deal? Ren Dong and I are both frail women. If we didn't strike first and catch them off guard, how could we have escaped? Lin Shan was entangled by that bandit with a crossbow and got separated from us. If I hadn't thought about saving myself, I would be the one dying in that pool of blood right now."

When Pei An and He Wenhan entered and saw the bloody hole in the long-faced thief's neck, they had some guesses, but they weren't sure.

His wife is lame!

"and after?"

This was so wonderful, more vividly told than any storyteller could describe it. Qin Qingdong was amazed and urged Song Guanzhou to hurry up.

"Then, he didn't die."

"what?"

The four men present looked at him in unison. Song Guanzhou touched his cheek. "I was lucky enough to puncture his artery. Blood spurted out, but he wouldn't die anytime soon. So—, when he threw me off his back and was about to slash at me with his short knife, I scrambled away to avoid it."

With that, she lifted her narrow sleeve, revealing a patch of bloody flesh the size of half a palm on her fair and delicate skin. "This is what I got when I scraped against the ground while dodging."

At this moment, Pei An disregarded the presence of outsiders and immediately took her wrist and called for a maid.

"It's alright. I'll recount the events to Lord He first, so that he can find the culprit behind our backs as soon as possible."

"...Let's treat the wound first."

Pei An looked at him with heartache. Qin Qingdong had already called out to Aru, but Song Guanzhou pulled on his sleeve and said, "Sit down, Qin Er. What's a little injury like this? I have plenty more all over my body. If we need to treat it, we'll have to go back to the manor and take a bath to wash away all this smell and blood before we can deal with it all."

He Wenhan was amazed.

These four young mistresses possess extraordinary calmness and composure; if they weren't confined to the inner quarters, they would surely have achieved great things.

"Please continue, young mistress, so that we can finish this quickly and return home to cleanse ourselves of the turbidity of today."

"Thank you, sir. Guanzhou, please continue."

At this point, she glanced at Pei An and Qin Qingdong on the left and right, "Fourth Brother, Second Brother Qin, don't interrupt me. The matter is not complicated and can be explained in a few words."

Pei An sighed, "My lady, please speak freely. Xi Hui and I will not say another word."

Song Guanzhou snorted and continued, "The thieves searching for us from the other side of the Buddhist hall heard the commotion and rushed over immediately. When I had no chance of escape, the thief had already grabbed my hair and was about to lift my head up and slit my throat. When Ren Dong saw the thief rushing towards me, she couldn't resist and smashed the incense burner down from the crossbeam, but unfortunately, she hit it at an angle."

"what--"

"Just as the thief's knife was about to touch my neck, Lin Shan arrived. He snatched the crossbow bolt and fired it, piercing the thief's wrist. The short knife clattered to the ground beside me. Without thinking, I picked it up and stabbed it heavily behind my back..."
