Lu Qingwan knew very well that those people were doing it on purpose.
Last night, Xiao Yueying had been here, and today she was insulted in the restaurant opposite. How could it be such a coincidence?
But regardless of whether the other party was setting a trap for her, the insult Xiao Yueying suffered was real.
She knew her own capabilities and didn't want to cause trouble. When those people at Qingquan Mountain Villa said Xiao Yueying had been kidnapped by assassins, she had held back from speaking out, but now she couldn't bear it any longer.
She turned to Feng Xiwu and said, "I want to save her."
Feng Xiwu watched Xiao Yueying, a weak woman, being bullied by a group of men. His face was expressionless, as if no matter how pitiful Xiao Yueying was, it couldn't stir even a trace of sympathy in him.
Upon hearing Lu Qingwan's words, he indulged her immensely and said, "Save her if you want to. I promised you last night. It's just Xiao Yueying, not worth you risking yourself. Lisu, take people to check it out."
Lisu had already been unable to watch, but she had restrained herself from rushing to save people due to her status. As soon as Feng Xiwu gave the order, she immediately responded, turned, and ran out.
Lu Qingwan gently tugged at Feng Xiwu's sleeve, "I want to go and see too. I promise, just to see, I won't make a move."
Feng Xiwu raised his eyebrows coolly, "Can you hold back?"
Liyang let out a snort of laughter. Lu Qingwan glared at him fiercely, then whined to Feng Xiwu, "Can't people trust each other?"
The conversation escalated to a principled issue of trust at the slightest disagreement. Feng Xiwu was helpless against her, "Forget it, go if you want to. Take care of yourself. Shout if you need anything, and I'll keep an eye on what's happening opposite at all times."
"I knew you were the best!"
Lu Qingwan hugged Feng Xiwu tightly, then turned and chased after Lisu.
Feng Xiwu's face flushed slightly. He coughed dryly and instructed Ying Yi, "Have people ready. If Lin Qingquan dares to lay a hand on the Princess, execute him on the spot."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Ying Yi took the order and left. Feng Xiwu, just as he had promised Lu Qingwan, stared intently at the window opposite.
The people opposite were audacious enough not to close the window at all. They even shoved the disheveled Xiao Yueying to the window from time to time as if to provoke them.
Liyang couldn't help but complain, "They've gone to such lengths to lure the Princess. The arena is just below. With such audacity, aren't they afraid that someone will see Xiao Yueying being bullied and ruin Lin Qingquan's hard-earned reputation for loyalty and righteousness?"
"Xiao Yueying was kidnapped, wasn't she? If she's being bullied, Lin Qingquan is merely not protective enough. Isn't it enough to just say a few words of self-reproach and let it go?" Feng Xiwu saw through it, "Even if we hadn't come to Ye Yu City, Lin Qingquan would still have found a way to get rid of Xiao Yueying. Such a villain would not allow someone who knows his true face and holds his secrets to live in this world."
As they were speaking, a loud crash came from the opposite side, followed by the sounds of fighting. The faces of the few guards Liyang had brought intermittently flashed past the window. A dark shadow flew out of the window. The person wailed and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
Liyang chuckled, "The Princess said she wouldn't make a move, but it seems she couldn't resist!"
Feng Xiwu was unfazed, "She didn't make a move with her hands, only with her feet."
Liyang was stunned, "It can be like this?"
As Feng Xiwu said, Lu Qingwan indeed did not make a move with her hands. Adhering to the principle of keeping her word, Lu Qingwan was ready to watch the show as soon as she entered the room, but someone was simply asking for trouble.
Her portrait had probably been circulated among Lin Qingquan's subordinates. The moment she entered, someone recognized her.
"She's the one the Master is looking for!"
The man shouted and charged over. His first reaction wasn't to capture her, but to tease her, "They all say you're amazing, I thought you'd be a shrew. You're not bad-looking!" As he spoke vulgar words, his lecherous hand reached out to Lu Qingwan's face.
How could Lu Qingwan endure this? She tilted her head back slightly and kicked the man away with a swift leg.
Once the fighting started, there was no stopping it. The thugs rushed forward one after another, engaging Lisu and the guards she had brought. At that moment, a group of people rushed out from the inner room of the restaurant, wielding large swords and charging at Lu Qingwan.
Lu Qingwan was just experiencing the joy of having internal energy and wanted to try out her new techniques when she heard Xiao Yueying shriek, "Be careful not to get hurt, their swords are poisoned!"
As she spoke, Lisu, who rushed to protect Lu Qingwan, was cut on the arm, leaving a wound several inches long. Lu Qingwan was startled, but Lisu acted as if she didn't notice, stubbornly cutting off the hand that attacked Lu Qingwan with her sword.
A familiar scent wafted to her nose. Lu Qingwan was suddenly furious, "Everyone, finish this quickly, Lisu, retreat first!" As she spoke, Lu Qingwan pulled Xiao Yueying, who was cowering in the corner, towards her. With Xiao Yueying in one hand and Lisu in the other, she jumped out of the window. The unlucky guy Lu Qingwan had kicked away had just managed to get up and was about to leave when he was hit squarely by the three of them, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Lu Qingwan didn't care whether the man was dead or alive. Carrying the two women, she bypassed the arena and headed straight for the inn where they were staying. However, as soon as she reached the bottom of the inn, the people from Qingquan Mountain Villa caught up. Lu Qingwan was about to free her hands to fight when Liyang rushed down, "Madam, go upstairs first. Leave this to your subordinate."
"Okay!" Lu Qingwan replied, bringing the two women into the inn. Liyang also sent two people to help her.
In the room, Feng Xiwu, despite knowing his subordinates were present, couldn't help but worry about Lu Qingwan. After a long wait, she finally returned. Before he could even ask a question, Lu Qingwan roped him into her task, "Help me seal the acupoints above her arm to temporarily curb the spread of the poison." Without time to react, Feng Xiwu, along with his wheelchair, was pushed to the dining table by Lu Qingwan. Casually shoving the two women into chairs, Lisu happened to land next to Feng Xiwu. Lu Qingwan began to take the pulse of both Xiao Yueying and Lisu simultaneously.
Feng Xiwu silently raised his hand and pressed an acupoint on Lisu. Lisu was startled by the scene, "Princess, have I been poisoned with a fatal poison?" It looked as if an amputation was imminent, making her very panicked!
"It's not fatal, but it will make your life worse than death." Lu Qingwan said coldly, "You've seen how Wu Ying looks when the poison acts up. What you've been poisoned with is that kind of poison."
Lisu's face changed dramatically, and she said nervously, "Please save your subordinate, Princess. I would rather die than become like that!"
Although Lu Qingwan was a strong woman, it was inconvenient to grab people and administer needles and medicine while treating illnesses. The maids around her were also very timid, so she asked Lisu for help. Lisu had lamented at the time that she would rather die than come into contact with such a thing, but she never expected to be poisoned so soon, and she cursed herself for being a jinx.
