BXBX NOVEL Chapter 22
When she looked at Jiang Ruyun, her dissatisfaction grew. “As the young lady of the General’s Mansion, you should abide by the rules for women and be magnanimous.”
“Moreover, the Huainan Mansion only has Qing Er as its only son. Naturally, you’d want Qing Er to have a family. Just you alone is not enough.”
“Second Miss, don’t worry. Lan Zhi will definitely serve you well in the future. She won’t compete with you for anything. Xu Er won’t fight with your unborn child either. You…”
“Get lost!”
Though Lan Zhi kept crying, when she looked at Jiang Ruyun, her eyes were full of undisguised pride. Seeing her expression, Jiang Ruyun couldn’t hold back any longer.
However, Lan Zhi still didn’t let go. She knew Jiang Ruyun was pregnant. If the child couldn’t be born, then Xu Er would be the only child in the Huainan Mansion
“Let go!”
No matter what Jiang Ruyun said, Lan Zhi wouldn’t let go. She just clung to Jiang Ruyun’s leg. “Second Miss, I beg you. When you marry the prince, Xu Er will also be your son. You…”
“Ah…”
Before Lan Zhi could finish her words, she heard Jiang Ruyun scream. She quickly let go of her hand, but still pretended to support her. “Second Miss, are you… Ah…”
Jiang Peihuan’s appeared with a serious aura, and she held the black whip tightly in her hand.
“Second Sister, what’s wrong?”
Although Sijin didn’t like Jiang Ruyun, she still went forward to support her when she saw her pale face lying on the ground.
“My stomach hurts.”
“Elder sister?”
Jiang Sijin was still a child. She was also very flustered in such a situation. She subconsciously looked at Jiang Peihuan.
“Ye Xiao, treat Second Miss.”
“Yes.”
“Who allowed you to barge in? Don’t you have any manners?”
At this moment, Chu Rou finally reacted. Looking at Jiang Peihuan, who was holding a long whip, her eyes were filled with annoyance.
“Huainan Queen, are you allowing your servants to bully my younger sister? Do you think the General Mansion has no one to stand up for us?”
Lying on the ground, Jiang Ruyun’s eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing this.
She couldn’t help but look up at Jiang Peihuan. Her clothes were still thin, but her posture was tall and straight.
“Eldest sister?”
Looking at Jiang Peihuan’s back, Jiang Ruyun couldn’t help but call out.
Hearing her voice, the person standing turned around. “Don’t talk. Let Ye Xiao check your pulse.”
“Miss, the child in Second Miss’s womb can’t be saved.”
“What… what did you say?”
Despite the pain in her stomach, Jiang Ruyun tightly gripped Ye Xiao’s hand, her eyes turned red and filled with rage.
“Sijin, help your second sister.”
“Yes.”
“Second Sister, the ground is cold. Please, get up first.”
With despair in her eyes, Jiang Ruyun allowed Jiang Sijin to help her up. Suddenly, she pushed Sijin away and lunged at Lan Zhi. “You wretched woman, I’ll kill you!”
“Help! Someone, come and pull her away!”
Chu Rou witnessed Jiang Ruyun pulling a golden hairpin from her head and attempting to stab Lan Zhi, so she quickly yelled for help.
Guards from the mansion rushed in immediately.
“Quickly pull her away.”
“Who dares!”
As the guards approached Jiang Ruyun, Jiang Peihuan fiercely swung her whip, causing the guard in front to fall to the ground.
The other guards hesitated, not daring to move forward.
“Save me…”
“Mother, Queen, save me!”
Seeing Jiang Ruyun wielding the golden hairpin and coming at her, Lan Zhi’s eyes filled with panic as she scrambled to her feet.
Jiang Ruyun pursued her, but she was weak and unable to catch up with Lan Zhi.
“Jiang Peihuan, how dare you attack my guards in the Huainan Mansion! Do you think this is the General’s Mansion?”
“The Huainan King’s Mansion wronged my Jiang family first. I’m merely giving them a taste of their own medicine.”
“Rebels! Capture them all!”
“Elder Sister, let me help you.”
Seeing the increasing number of guards, Jiang Sijin also drew the red whip from her waist.
Although there were many guards, with Ye Xiao by her side, Jiang Peihuan had little trouble handling the guards. Hearing Jiang Sijin’s words, she whispered, “Go help your Second Sister, catch that servant girl.”
“Yes.”
“Queen, please save Lan Zhi.”
Nanny Wei noticed Sijin approaching Lan Zhi and quickly shouted.
Upon hearing this, Chu Rou coldly commanded, “Stop her.”
Two guards instantly blocked Sijin’s path. Seeing them, she brandished her whip, stirring up a gust of wind. “Move aside, or don’t blame my whip for being blind.”
The two guards exchanged glances and charged at Jiang Sijin together.
The entire hall was in chaos.
On the roof outside the courtyard.
Han Feng looked at Xiao Nanye beside him and whispered, “Master, should we help Eldest Miss? ”
“Not for now.”
The man lay casually on the roof, his gaze fixed on Jiang Peihuan.
Inside the room, Jiang Peihuan was unaware of all this. Seeing more and more guards, the whip in her hand grew increasingly fierce.
Seeing more blood flowing from Jiang Ruyun, her eyes filled with coldness. “Ye Xiao, hold them off.”
“Yes.”
As Ye Xiao blocked the guards, Jiang Peihuan turned and swung her whip. Lan Zhi, who was running towards them, was immediately caught by her neck.
Jiang Peihuan pulled hard, and Lan Zhi fell right at Jiang Ruyun’s feet.
Without hesitation, Jiang Ruyun tried to stab Lan Zhi with the golden hairpin. Frightened, Lan Zhi closed her eyes, but the expected pain never came.
It turned out that Jiang Peihuan had grabbed Jiang Ruyun’s hand.
“Eldest sister?”
Jiang Ruyun’s eyes were full of tears. Seeing her miserable state, Jiang Peihuan’s expression remained indifferent, but her voice softened a bit. “You can’t kill her just yet, or you’ll be the one in the wrong.”
As Jiang Ruyun was stopped, Lan Zhi tried to sneak away, but Jiang Peihuan’s whip sent her to the ground.
“Ah…”
The whip tore through Lan Zhi’s clothes, and she screamed in pain.
Outside the house.
Han Feng couldn’t help but wince when he saw the whip. “Master, Eldest Miss is quite fierce.”
The whip even made him hurt.
Xiao Nanye’s eyes held a constant smile. Hearing his guard’s words, he nodded. “Yes, she’s fierce, but I like it.”
Han Feng was speechless.
“So, other than not killing her, everything else is allowed?”
Looking at Lan Zhi on the ground, Jiang Ruyun’s eyes were filled with hatred.
Jiang Peihuan didn’t respond. Instead, she raised her whip and glared at the approaching guards. “Whoever dares to come forward, don’t blame my whip for being merciless.”
At that moment, Jiang Ruyun pulled out the long whip at her waist. Her whip was purple.
Gripping the whip’s handle, Jiang Ruyun lashed out fiercely at Lan Zhi.
“Ah…”
