Princess Qingyuan summoned Lan Meng and directly stated her intention to search the garden.
Lan Meng was very surprised to learn that County Princess Le'an was missing. She readily agreed to Princess Qingyuan's request, saying that Princess Qingyuan could search however she pleased.
Lan Meng's cooperative attitude eased some of Princess Qingyuan's anger, and she did not make things difficult for Lan Meng.
People from Princess Qingyuan's mansion entered Chunse Manyuan to search.
As for how to explain this to the guests tonight, that was Lan Meng and Chunse Manyuan's concern.
Fortunately, the guests tonight were all of noble birth and high status. Some of them were people Princess Qingyuan could not afford to offend.
The people from the Princess's mansion considered the potential repercussions and did not immediately rush into the private rooms of the courtesans to search.
Chunse Manyuan had several courtyards in total, and there were indeed many places where people could hide.
No one expected County Princess Le'an to be in a courtesan's room!
Meng Junyu, despite being beaten beyond recognition, did not care. As soon as the Princess's mansion people flooded in, he personally led them to search inch by inch.
A faint cry for help came from a room. Meng Junyu, with his keen senses, immediately kicked open the door and rushed in.
The scene unfolding in the room made Meng Junyu's eyes split with rage.
Their precious darling, whom their entire family doted on, was being pinned down and violated.
Meng Junyu roared, and without even looking at the person, snatched a guard's saber and plunged it forward fiercely.
County Princess Le'an was completely stunned.
She only remembered running happily towards Young Master Song, then suddenly her vision went black, and she knew nothing else.
When she woke up, she saw Wang Chang. She recognized Young Master Wang Liu and knew he had feelings for her. But how could she possibly like him? How could he compare to Young Master Song?
She never imagined that Wang Chang, who was usually so obedient to her, would dare to tear her clothes and…
The proud little county princess was terrified. She didn't know what was happening or where she was. Had Wang Chang stolen her away?
Wang Chang seemed to have drunk a lot, appearing disheveled and reeking of alcohol as he sprayed her face. County Princess Le'an told him to get away.
But this time, Wang Chang not only didn't listen but also lunged at her with a foolish grin…
Just as County Princess Le'an was about to scream, the door was kicked open. It was her brother, coming to save her, but her brother…
Staring blankly at the saber in her brother's hand, she saw it pierce through Wang Chang's body.
Staring at the saber protruding from Wang Chang's abdomen, County Princess Le'an finally screamed in terror.
"Ah—"
The guards, after reacting, immediately turned to leave and closed the door.
However, the person the young marquis had stabbed looked somewhat familiar.
Someone immediately went to report to Princess Qingyuan.
Meng Junyu pushed the beast aside and stepped forward to embrace his sister.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your brother is here."
County Princess Le'an trembled uncontrollably, tightly gripping Meng Junyu's clothes.
She had only recently regained consciousness. The person she faced was Wang Chang, whom she knew relatively well. At first, she wasn't very scared. When she realized Wang Chang was drunk and started to act maliciously, she became a little frightened.
But soon her brother arrived.
Compared to the experience of almost being violated by Wang Chang, what scared her more was her brother stabbing Wang Chang.
Blood had splattered onto her face.
Although Wang Chang was detestable, but…
"B-brother, is Wang Chang d-dead?" County Princess Le'an's voice trembled. "Why did you stab him? You could have just beaten him."
How could her brother kill someone?
"Wang Chang?"
Meng Junyu, in his state of anger and fear, had lost all reason. His eyes were solely on his precious sister, and he hadn't even glanced at the beast.
Hearing Le'an mention Wang Chang now, Meng Junyu turned back in shock to look.
Indeed, he saw that the person lying on the ground, twitching after being stabbed, was the Wang Liu he knew! How dare this scoundrel!
"He deserves to die for daring to do this to you!" Meng Junyu was furious.
County Princess Le'an said frantically, "But, but, I, I'm fine. If he dies, Brother, you won't…"
County Princess Le'an wanted to see if Wang Chang was dead but was afraid to see him covered in blood. She could only cautiously peek her head out from Meng Junyu's embrace.
How could she be fine! To be bullied like this by Wang Chang and still say she was fine!
What did this scoundrel Wang Chang intend to do! Was he planning to force them to marry Le'an to him!
Simply wishful thinking!
What did they take their Yongjia Marquis Mansion for! What did they take their Le'an for!
Although Meng Junyu had concerns, thinking of Wang Chang's actions, he felt that Wang Chang deserved to die!
Even if he killed Wang Chang, so what? If Wang Chang dared to commit an offense against Le'an, he deserved to be killed by accident!
Would the Pingliang Marquis Mansion dare to demand his life!
Le'an had never seen her brother with such a terrifying, red-eyed look.
"Brother, I, I'm really fine."
Only then did Meng Junyu have the time to check on Le'an. After a brief glance, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Le'an seemed alright.
However, her collar was torn, her sleeve had a large hole ripped in it, and two buttons were missing.
The large expanse of fair skin revealed was particularly glaring. At first glance, it seemed like something had happened, but other than that, her clothes were still intact.
It seemed Wang Chang hadn't had time to succeed.
It was good that he hadn't.
"Brother, what do we do? Wang Chang he…"
County Princess Le'an glanced and was startled.
Wang Chang, he, he looked like he was dying.
Although she had lost consciousness for a while, County Princess Le'an could feel that she had not been violated.
If Wang Chang died here like this, her brother would be in trouble. The Pingliang Marquis Mansion would not let this go.
"Ah—"
County Princess Le'an suddenly screamed.
Meng Junyu followed Le'an's gaze and then noticed someone else lying in the corner.
Blood splattered on the wall. A young and beautiful woman lay in a pool of blood, leaning against the wall.
The woman had not yet breathed her last. Looking in the direction of the Meng siblings, she let out a faint sound.
"Save me, help…"
It was clear that the woman had been forcefully pushed down, and her back of the head had hit the wall, causing her to bleed profusely. Although still alive, she was on the verge of death.
"Don't be afraid."
Meng Junyu patted Le'an's head.
It was probably the courtesan who lived in this room. Wang Chang had abducted Le'an and hidden her here. When this courtesan discovered them, she had severely injured Le'an.
This dog Wang Chang was truly insane!
If he hadn't arrived in time, how much harm would Le'an have suffered!
Even if it was an attempted assault, so what! The fact that he intended to harm Le'an was undeniable!
May the beast die quickly!
He would bear any consequences!
Meng Junyu took off his outer robe and draped it over Le'an. He then carried Le'an on his back and walked out. This room was filled with the smell of blood and two people on the verge of death. How could he let Le'an stay here?
