Angry Banana
Chapter 322: A Farce Leaving Hearts Wounded
Hearing Juan'er mention the matter, Xiaochan was organizing the small clothes for the newborn child at home. Seeing Juan'er's expression, she was genuinely startled.
For the time being, this matter could only be told to her. It was useless to tell Sister Xing'er now, and they couldn't report it to Miss immediately. Xiaochan didn't quite believe it, and her mind was a bit dazed. But Juan'er never spoke without being certain. Even though they couldn't think clearly for the moment, they reacted instinctively and headed towards the side gate of the Su residence, trying to find Ning Yi.
Xiaochan knew where Ning Yi had gone, but at this moment, she didn't know whether to look for him on the road or hire a carriage and go out. Walking on the road, Xiaochan was almost in tears.
On his way back, Ning Yi saw the two young girls who had just left.
Xiaochan froze when she saw him, looking as if she wanted to cry. She took a step back and then turned around again. Juan'er stood to the side with her head lowered. The situation was somewhat strange. Ning Yi blinked and stood there. He naturally had things on his mind at this moment and understood the meaning behind Su Wenxing and the others' gazes yesterday. But he had only just caught the person following him, so he didn't think anything would happen. He didn't understand why Xiaochan and Juan'er were acting this way. After a while, Juan'er secretly tugged on Xiaochan's sleeve. Ning Yi asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiaochan clenched her fists and lowered her head for a moment before looking at Ning Yi's belt and saying, "Master, they said... they said..." She started to say it but couldn't get it out. Juan'er reached out and poked her waist. Xiaochan glanced at her before saying, "They said that Master has a woman outside, a... a reformed prostitute named Nie Yunzhu, Master..."
She looked up at Ning Yi, her eyes filled with inquiry and investigation, but tears were about to fall. Ning Yi was silent, looked at her, and then looked at Juan'er: "And then?"
"They called some aunts and female cousins from the second and third branch, anyway... those women... went out to make trouble for that Nie girl..." Probably understanding Xiaochan's complex feelings at the moment, Juan'er, who had been lowering her head, raised her head, but she was also somewhat timid and added, "They didn't bother Miss."
"It's rare that they did a few smart things." Ning Yi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, but the smile disappeared in an instant. He patted Xiaochan's shoulder and hugged her with one arm. At this moment, they were still at the side gate of the residence, and Xiaochan's face immediately turned red: "You go back first, I know."
He returned to the Su residence, led a horse, and then headed towards the Qinhuai River. Xiaochan and Juan'er at the door looked at each other. Even now, they still didn't know what the situation would become...
******************
For Yunzhu and Jin'er, things were also sudden. They had just returned from the bamboo shop that day at noon. The two of them lived a peaceful life, and there was no one else at home at this time. Jin'er's maid, Kou'er, Yunzhu's maid, Hutao, and her husband, Erniu, added up to only five people. Usually, Erniu would help out here and do some rough work, then go back to his home not far away with his wife. Although he didn't go back that day, the five people could not resist when more than twenty people suddenly smashed down the door.
In addition to a group of women from the second and third branch, there were also several Su family's guards and bodyguards accompanying them. When the crowd suddenly rushed in, Erniu, who was chopping firewood in the kitchen, put down the firewood knife and picked up a wooden stick to fight back, but was immediately knocked down in a pool of blood. When the women's screams and cries rang out, Yunzhu and Jin'er were instantly stunned by the whole situation.
In this era, it was naturally just for a wife to seek trouble with a woman her man kept outside. Even if it was brought before the court, no official would side with women like Yunzhu and Jin'er in such domestic matters. At most, they would say that this man was really stupid and couldn't resolve the aftermath of what was originally a romantic affair. For Yunzhu, perhaps she had been mentally prepared for some things, or perhaps she had seen other similar things. When she was in it, she was naturally at a loss at first. Watching those fierce-looking women rushing in, followed by scolding and pushing, she probably understood what was going on, but more than that, it was still a blank slate, and she didn't know what to do.
She remembered that she probably called out "Jin'er," and Jin'er also called out, "What are you doing!" The following things were almost muddled. Countless voices kept ringing in her ears. Someone came to grab her hair, someone wanted to hit her, and she seemed to have been hit twice on the face, but she didn't know clearly. She didn't feel anything on her body. Someone even wanted to tear her clothes, and she could only hold herself tightly. She wanted to find Jin'er, but Jin'er was separated.
Yuan Jin'er was also submerged in the noise after only struggling for a moment. Her usual boldness didn't mean much at this time. Without Ning Yi's state of mind, it was meaningless in the face of this group violence. The most important thing was probably that she didn't think she was on the side of justice in her heart. When those women rushed over, she wanted to fight hard at first,
but then there was no way. The fierce strength she had when she saw Yunzhu injured and pushed people into the water to death lost its meaning in front of four or five scolding women. After all, it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands at first. Then her hair was messed up, she was beaten, and seven or eight hands stretched over. Fighting back was ineffective. When she felt someone scratching her face, and it was burning, she thought she was disfigured, and then she cried.
The noisy sounds became a spectacle on this street by the small building for a while. There were not many pedestrians here during the day, but they gathered soon. People spread the word about what happened, and then they saw two women being dragged out, a group of women cursing and fighting, and some people further explaining what happened to the surrounding onlookers.
"My cousin just gave birth to a child, and today I heard about this..."
"Too much!"
"She just gave birth to a child yesterday, and her body is not in good condition. What will this matter lead to..."
"Shameless hussy!"
"It's really unbearable..."
With some embellishment, the people around were also indignant.
"How can we tolerate them doing such things..."
"Drown them in a pig cage..."
"Scratch their faces and see if they dare to seduce men casually in the future..."
"First, pour excrement and urine on them..."
"They are good-looking, but I didn't expect them to be such people..."
"It's this kind of woman who seduces men everywhere..."
"Where is that man? He should be arrested too!"
The words around buzzed and rang, and they also reached Yunzhu and Jin'er's ears. Jin'er finally hugged Yunzhu and cried. Yunzhu hugged her tightly and hugged her own body, gritting her teeth and pursing her lips, trying not to cry. When someone came to tear her clothes again, she hit hard, which led to even louder scolding, and she was slapped on the face again. Those women kicked and punched, and then she heard a "哗" sound, and the outer garment was torn a slit. She fell to the ground in the struggle. Jin'er cried out "Ah—", but it was useless.
"Tear her clothes and show them to everyone!"
"Drown her in a pig cage..."
"Call that man over too..."
The people around had already begun to clamor, and the voice was getting louder and louder, but Yunzhu felt that she could no longer hear anything. In the chaos, there was a moment when she seemed to hear the sound of hooves, and the surrounding sounds seemed to stop for a moment. But in reality, what she could see were still countless people's hands, feet, and clothes. She and Jin'er were surrounded in the middle...
When Ning Yi jumped down from the running horse, the fighting crowd was indeed quiet for a while, because someone had already seen him. Several leading women exchanged glances. The surrounding people didn't know what was going on and were still clamoring. Several Su family's guards had already greeted him, trying to stop Ning Yi, who rudely pushed through the crowd.
One of the women shouted loudly, "Master Ning! You can't interfere in this matter! You should think about how to explain it!"
The other women also clamored, "Yes, that's right." and shouted, "Look at what you've done!"
"Tan'er just gave birth to a child..."
"We are angry and here to stand up for her!"
Everyone then understood that the scholar who had squeezed in over there was the protagonist. One of them was about to pull him from the front. At the same time, a middle-aged guard had already come over. He was considered high in the Su family and had some martial arts, basically similar to Guard Geng. He looked calm and fierce, and stretched out his hand to block Ning Yi in front of him. His fan-like palm pressed on Ning Yi's shoulder: "Master."
This middle-aged guard was already in his thirties or forties, burly and tall like a wall, while Ning Yi looked weak, wearing a scholar's robe. This was also the reason why the bystanders in the rear dared to meddle casually. The guard didn't want to hurt Ning Yi, so he sank his steps and just wanted to push Ning Yi here. But Ning Yi's footsteps didn't stop. As he stepped forward, he slapped out with his backhand.
A "啪" sound rang in the air. With the blood and flying teeth, the guard stepped back step by step, falling into the Qinhuai River next to him.
The man behind who was pulling his left hand was pulled by Ning Yi for several steps in a hurry. Ning Yi grabbed it with his backhand and threw it. This man screamed "Ah", his body turned several circles in the air and smashed on the ground. This was only a moment. Ning Yi's pace was very fast. Another guard who rushed over was grabbed by the neck with one hand, clamped forward for a few steps, and then thrown aside, covering his neck and coughing desperately on the ground.
In a blink of an eye, Ning Yi narrowed the distance with those women, and also saw Yunzhu who was trying to pull the torn clothes in the middle of their encirclement, and Yuan Jin'er who was kneeling and crying there holding Yunzhu.
The sound wave rose again immediately: "Master Ning, how dare you be like this!"
"You did something wrong and you still hit people..."
"Are you worthy of Tan'er..."
"Adulterer and *****, beat them to death!"
"You are a live-in Son-in-Law, you are lawless..."
Generally encounter
In such a situation, even officials with great status have to swallow their anger. They still believed in their hearts that Ning Yi would not dare to mess around. But even thinking this way, Ning Yi still killed him. Ning Yi's affairs in Hangzhou had been spreading for a while, but he was very good to his family, which made them think that Ning Yi would not dare to go too far. He rushed over suddenly, and it was probably just a bluff. In the sound wave, a woman carried a chamber pot and separated the crowd and rushed over: "Here, here..."
This was one of Su Wenxing's female cousins, tall and rough, and extremely shrewish in the Su family. Just now, she ran out to find something to humiliate Yunzhu and Jin'er. When she came over at this time and saw Ning Yi coming over, although she was stunned, she sneered immediately: "Master Ning, even if you come, you can't save them!"
Ning Yi's face was cold, and he had already walked past Yunzhu and Jin'er and directly approached her. Several women tried to pull him, but they could only retreat with him.
"Put it down!"
While walking, Ning Yi said a sentence, one of the women had already reached out and tightened his clothes, and then Ning Yi just slapped his backhand and knocked the woman back staggeringly. If beating a few guards just now was just surprising to everyone, this slap really stunned the people around. What kind of unreasonable man was he? He would have been fine if he was dressed as a butcher, but he was wearing a scholar's robe...
Someone shouted, "How dare you!"
The cousin who was carrying the chamber pot was also stunned for a moment and stomped her feet for a while: "This is outrageous! Ning Yi, you..."
"Put it down!"
Ning Yi had already approached.
"Ah—"
With a "啪" slap, followed by a "哗" sound, the woman directly splashed the chamber pot over, and then, a slap rang out on her face, knocking her to the ground. Foul smells overflowed, and the chamber pot rolled around. Ning Yi was splashed half of his body, and the people around were also affected, but at this moment, the surroundings were really quiet. Even Jin'er, who was crying哇哇 there, froze in the posture of crying.
Ning Yi stood there, as if he hadn't noticed the stench on his body. Several teeth were knocked out of the woman on the ground. Ning Yi actually still took his hand. The woman spat out blood and teeth and cried哇, scolding loudly with the wind beginning to leak from her mouth. The people around also began to shout, and Ning Yi kicked the woman's stomach, kicking her crying back.
This time, the crowd was even more infuriated, and the people around also shouted. Then, they saw a flash of fire, Ning Yi raised his hand, and a "轰" sound resounded throughout the audience. On the tree a few meters away, the branches and leaves were knocked down and hit the heads of the onlookers. Although he was splashed with those things, the firearm was placed in his robe after all, and it was not wet. He fired this shot. When the woman recovered and wanted to cry out, he walked over and pressed the muzzle on her head. There was naturally no gunpowder and bullets in the gun, but it had the residual heat after firing.
"If you make trouble again, I will kill you." He said word by word, "Do you believe it?"
Whether they believed it or not, no one dared to make trouble anymore for a while. Even if there were people talking in the crowd, no one dared to scold loudly for a moment. They probably regarded Ning Yi as a madman. After a while, he stood up and turned to Yunzhu: "Go back and tell Su Wenxing that I will find him to settle the score later."
After speaking, he walked not far in front of Yunzhu and Jin'er, pointed at his body a little awkwardly, and then showed a smile: "Is there a place to wash?"
