The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

246 - No accident
The fight stopped.

Looking at the dagger on Cui Hengyue's neck, Liu Yang hurriedly shouted: "Don't be impulsive, don't hurt the little lady."

At this time, Cui Hengyue's hands were tied, and her clothes were already stained red with blood, looking very embarrassed.

A man in black grabbed her with one hand and put a dagger around her neck with the other.

The man in black was Runzhu.

On both sides of her stood a man in black, the man in black on the left was Qingbai, and the man in black on the right was Su Biwen.

After the fighting stopped, the man in black who was fighting with the guards, that is, Song Zhuoxing who had snatched Zeng Ming's bow and arrow, walked down the corridor.

Qingbai stepped aside, walked up to Su Biwen and stood still, and calmly supported Su Biwen with his shoulders.

Song Zhuo walked to Cui Hengyue's left and stood still.

Liu Yang looked at Runzhu who grabbed Cui Hengyue: "Let us go, little lady, and I will let you go."

"Ah--"

Liu Yang thought that the leader was Runzhu who was holding onto Cui Hengyue, but he didn't expect that it was Song Zhuoxing who was on Cui Hengyue's left who answered the conversation.

Song Zhuoxing did not hide his contempt: "Do you think we are fools?
"As long as I let her go, you will kill us without any scruples."

His eyes turned cold: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and prepare a carriage for us, and prepare two horses and four tokens for leaving the city.

"I'll let her go when we get out of the city safely."

Liu Yang glanced back calmly.

The Duke and the uncle haven't come yet, so he has to hold back these men in black first.

So, Liu Yang said: "I can't decide this matter, you can tell the Duke when the Duke comes."

Song Zhuoxing raised his eyes and looked at the sky.

The east is glowing slightly, dawn is coming.

He roared: "Then hurry up and call someone who can make the decision, I will only give you half a quarter of an hour."

Hearing this, Liu Yang said to Zeng Ming, "Hurry up and go to the Duke, and report the situation here to him."

Without saying a word, Zeng Ming immediately rushed to the study in the front yard.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Cui Quan and Cui Yongzong came to Jinglan Garden with their archers.

Cui Quan waved his hand, and the archer immediately rushed to the front, drew his bow fully, and pointed the arrow at the four men in black.

Runzhu, Qingbai, and Su Biwen suddenly changed their faces, but they couldn't tell because they were covered with veils.

Song Zhuoxing's heart sank, he looked at Cui Quan and said, "Duke Jingguo, I warn you, if my brother and I make a mistake, I will sacrifice your granddaughter's life to heaven."

After the words fell, he raised the big bow he had snatched, drew the bow and set the arrow, and aimed at Cui Quan.

Liu Yang paled in shock, and immediately stepped forward to protect Cui Quan behind him.

Zeng Ming silently walked in front of Cui Yongzong.

"Don't worry, he doesn't dare to attack me."

Cui Quan pushed Liu Yang away, and looked at the man in black who was speaking again: "Not only are there archers in this courtyard, there are also archers outside the Yasukuni Mansion.

"You can't escape, why don't you put down your weapons and surrender, tell me who ordered you, and I will spare your lives."

Song Zhuoxing became angry: "Stop talking nonsense, if you don't let us go, I will kill your granddaughter right now."

The dagger in Runzhu's hand moved towards Cui Hengyue's neck.

Seeing this, Shuifu yelled "stop".

After stopping the man in black, Shui Fu ran to Cui Quan and said with a somber face, "Master Guo, now everyone in the capital knows that Yuan Niang has returned to the mansion and is about to attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

"If something happened to Yuanniang suddenly at this time, what would the people in the capital think of the Duke?

"After all, it was Duke Yasukuni who was sorry to Yuan Niang, and Third Master Cui who was sorry to Yuan Niang..."

Cui Quan was furious: "Are you threatening me?"

"Don't dare."

He said he didn't dare, but there was no sign of repentance on his face.

Shui Fu continued: "I'm just reminding the Duke, don't let rumors ruin Cui's hard-earned good reputation."

Cui Quanping hated others to threaten him the most in his life. Although Shui Fu refused to admit it, her words were full of threats.

His eyes suddenly turned cold: "This is the Duke Yasukuni's mansion, and no one will reveal what happened here.

"When you are all dead, I can say whatever I want."

Hearing that he was going to kill someone, Song Zhuoxing, Shui Fu and the others changed their expressions instantly.

"Ha ha--"

Cui Hengyue laughed out loud.

She laughed wantonly and crazily, and at the end of the laugh, she got involved in the wound and coughed violently.

Cui Quan's face darkened: "What are you laughing at?"

"Of course I'm laughing at you for being ruthless and stupid." Cui Hengyue said contemptuously after recovering.

Cui Quan can still understand laughing at him for being ruthless, but he can't understand at all when laughing at him for being stupid.

Cui Quan kept a straight face and didn't speak.

Cui Hengyue looked straight at Cui Quan, and said coldly: "15 years ago, I was still a baby and had no strength, so I could only be bullied by you.

"But now, I am no longer that baby who is slaughtered.

"If I hadn't attended the palace banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the secrets of the Cui Mansion would have been revealed to the public by someone I arranged..."

Before the words fell, Cui Quan scolded Cui Hengyue: "Stop talking nonsense, Cui's actions are open and aboveboard, where is the secret?"

Cui Hengyue sneered, and opened her mouth to speak, but Cui Quan ordered: "Let go..."

Before the word "Arrow" could be uttered, a stern voice came from behind the crowd: "Stop."

The guards retreated to the sides, leaving the middle path.

"Why are you here?" Cui Yongzong looked at his wife who was coming, very surprised.

Mrs. Cui first saluted Cui Quan, and then looked at Cui Yongzong: "There are assassins in the mansion, such a big thing happened, how can I not come and see?"

After answering Cui Yongzong's question, she walked up to Cui Quan and whispered, "Father, nothing can happen to Yuan Niang.

"She said just now that if she can't attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, everyone in the capital will know about the absurd things Third Uncle did, and Cui's centuries-old good reputation will be ruined."

Cui Quan's eyes flickered, and he lowered his voice: "Yuan Niang is also my granddaughter, why would I watch something happen to her?
"Don't worry, these gangsters still want to take Yuan Niang out of the city, they will definitely not kill Yuan Niang.

"I scare them a few times, they will let Yuanniang go, and today's matter will not be publicized."

Mrs. Cui's expression froze: "...What if these people are all desperadoes and kill Yuan Niang?"

Cui Quan was silent.

At this time, Song Zhuoxing saw the trick and winked at Runzhu.

Run Zhu nodded slightly, said to Cui Hengyue in a low voice, "Miss Cui, I offended you", and then moved the dagger forward a little, so that it was close to her neck.

"Don't think that we don't dare to kill people, and the big deal is to burn jade and stone together."

After saying that, Runzhu gently moved the dagger, and blood oozed from Cui Hengyue's neck immediately.

Mrs. Cui saw it, and immediately shouted: "Stop, don't hurt her, I will let you go."

Run Zhu immediately stopped his movements and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Cui Hengyue looked at the flustered and eager Mrs. Cui, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Cui Quan scolded Mrs. Cui: "Mr. Xie, what are you doing? It's not your turn to be the master of the Yasukuni Mansion."

"Father calm down, I was too impatient just now."

Mrs. Cui first pleaded guilty to Cui Quan, and then explained: "Father, I also did this for the sake of the Yasukuni government."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Cui lowered her voice: "Father doesn't know that Yuan Niang lived in the south hall of Yunxuan Temple for 15 years, and the King of Chu has long regarded her as his daughter.

"You should know that Yunxuan Temple has a rule: Those who enter the South Hall will never leave.

"But Yuan Niang has left, and there are two servant girls from the Chu Palace beside her. If the Chu King didn't value her, she would never be standing here today."

Seeing that Cui Quan's face was getting worse and worse, Mrs. Cui said something meaningful: "Father, the regent dare not touch the King of Chu, and our Jingguo Mansion can't afford to mess with it..."
