Medical Princess
chapter-62

After hearing that there was an accident, Qin Yuru pondered for a moment and decided not to wait for Qin Wanru. She would deal with Shui Ruolan first.

She moved forward hurriedly with the man and headed towards the forest behind the mountain. That was the best place to launch an attack.

Originally, Qin Yuru planned to trick Shui Ruolan into coming out by using her perfume satchel, at which point they would take her away. However, the man told her that Qionghua, Shui Ruolan’s servant, noticed something strange and ran away.

If she escaped successfully, it would be terrible.

Qin Yuru felt uneasy and ran over in a hurry because she wanted to help find Qionghua.

She was very anxious, so she was unwary and followed the man in front of them inside. However, Mei Xue, her servant, felt there was something wrong while they were walking. She could not help but pull her sleeves.

As the sky had already dimmed down, the woods appeared more and more dark and deep, and strangely quiet.

“Young Lady… It’s… It’s too quiet… Could Qionghua have escaped?” Mei Xue hinted at Qin Yuru in a low voice.

Qin Yuru stood still and looked around. There was not a sound. Except herself and Mei Xue, there was only the man who was dressed like a villager.

The others thought he might be a real villager. However, Qin Yuru knew that he was a ruffian. Qi Tianyu helped her find the man. Her face also changed slightly.

“Young Lady… We… We’d better go back. About Qionghua, we can figure it out later. She is merely a servant girl. Even if she speaks out… you can deal with…” Mei Xue was pretty scared because she saw the ruffian had turned back and strangely laughed at her.

However, since her back was towards the ruffian, Qin Yuru could see nothing.

“Well, okay!” Although she could see nothing, she also got worried. The surroundings were so quiet that she began to feel panicked.

Regardless of the consequences, she had just rushed into the woods. But now, she felt there was something wrong.

With a handkerchief in her hands, she planned to tell the ruffian that they would go back after turning her head. However, a blow struck the back of her head, causing her vision to blur. Mei Xue’s panicked look was the last scene in her eyes.

“Young Lady, Young Lady!” Mei Xue hurried to hold Qin Yuru while screaming.

“Shut up. Do you think there is someone who will save you at this time?” The ruffian laughed and raised a brick in his hand. He had knocked Qin Yuru out with the brick.

“You… You can’t do this. This… This is our Eldest Lady. Don’t you want to live?” Mei Xue fought back the terror and shouted boldly.

“Somebody’s trying to take you away and sell you because Your Eldest Lady offended him or her. After that, we’ll get a sum of money and leave for a faraway place. So what if your Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion is so powerful?” The voice came from their back. While holding Qin Yuru, Mei Xue turned sideways and saw the other ruffians.

These two ruffians, who were originally hired by Qin Yuru. One dealt with Miss Shui while the other handled her servant girl.

It was a piece of cake for these two men to deal with two women, but they were afraid that only one would be taken and the other would run away. Even though this was a concern with Shui Ruolan, it was not a problem when facing Qin Yuru.

“You… You are mistaken. This is our Eldest Lady. She asked you to deal with Miss Shui rather than herself.”

Mei Xue felt there was something wrong. She shouted, “You won’t get paid for this. Our Eldest Lady is your employer. You’ve got the wrong person.”

The two ruffians looked at each other in speechless despair.

“That’s true. You made a mistake. Our Eldest Lady asked you to abduct Miss Shui. She let an old woman tell you that you can escape far away. Then, she will give you a lot of money. You can take Miss Shui away. Let her never appear in Jiangzhou. We gave you a perfume satchel. Have you forgotten?”

Mei Xue felt anxious for fear that the two ruffians would not believe it. What she said was true.

The two ruffians were also confused. Only the employer knew these things. Anyone else would not know these things. How could this… be a mistake?

“The servant told us there was a perfume satchel, but later he said there’s no need. As long as we mention it, you can deceive us. Do you know something? That must be why you deliberately said that.” A ruffian uttered an exclamation of disbelief.

“Don’t talk nonsense with them! Take them away! Even if we don’t get paid, we can sell them for a good price since they’re good-looking. After that, we can still run far away from here. You don’t need to care about what’s going on.”

Ruffians like them would not care about fairness. Even if it was wrong, they would hold on to the last. Qin Yuru had to accept her bad luck.

“Right! They look so beautiful! ” The first ruffian turned around and looked at Qin Yuru’s face. He touched her face flirtatiously and chuckled. Then, he pinched Mei Xue’s face. “You’re good looking too. Come on. Do you want to be knocked out and taken away? Or will you walk on your own?”

Mei Xue’s facial expression greatly changed. She was too scared to stand.

“You… You’re mistaken!” In a panic, she took a few steps back and leaned against a tree behind her.

“So what? Anyway, we’ve also abducted a young lady and a servant girl. You two are not bad. Let’s go!” The other ruffian stretched out one hand from behind her and patted her on the shoulder as he spoke proudly.

“I… I…” Mei Xue rolled her fishy eyes and pushed Qin Yuru, who was in her arms, forward roughly. After that, she leaned over and started to run.

The two ruffians were stunned and immediately raged as they yelled out, “Catch her!”

They ignored Qin Yuru, who fell heavily on the ground, and immediately chased after Mei Xue. If the servant girl really ran away, it would be a big problem.

Mei Xue desperately tried to escape. She knew if she was caught by the two ruffians she would not have a good ending. However, she was only a woman, a young lady’s personal servant girl. Therefore, she was always pampered. She could not run far.

After a short distance, she was caught by the two ruffians. They gave her two severe slaps and brought her back while cursing.

Qin Wanru had arrived earlier when Mei Xue was shouting in an attempt to defend herself. Qin Wanru had stood behind a big tree while staring at a big tree in front to the right, where a servant stood.

He had stood there for a while. Qin Wanru arrived here by following Mei Xue’s voice. At that time, she saw the servant, who seemed to be sneaking around. Therefore, she followed him.

No matter what happened in front, the servant did not go forward. He just hid behind the tree and watched the fun.

When he saw Mei Xue run away with the two ruffians chasing after her, he dashed out towards Qin Yuru, who had fallen to the ground. He took out something from his bosom and threw it on Qin Yuru’s body. After that, he immediately ran back and hid again.

It was extremely short. The two ruffians were chasing after Mei Xue, so they had not noticed what happened behind them.

Only Qin Wanru and Qing Yue saw what happened clearly.

She noticed the thing thrown by him. It was a perfume satchel, which she stealthily substituted. If it was really Shui Ruolan’s perfume satchel, Shui Ruolan would be involved if Qin Yuru had an accident.

To kill two birds with one stone.

Qin Yuru suffered from her own actions, but Shui Ruolan was being unfairly made into the scapegoat. Without a doubt, the servant was Qi Tianyu’s. However, it was Qi Rongzhi rather than Qi Tianyu behind him.

Qin Yuru had preyed on Shui Ruolan, without being aware that Qi Rongzhi was behind her. Qi Rongzhi subtly put the blame on Shui Ruolan.

The two ruffians had already brought Mei Xue back. It was the perfect time. Qin Wanru crouched down slightly, picked up a big stone from beside the tree, spotted the servant who was craning his neck to peer around the tree, and threw it towards him.

The upbringing in the General’s Mansion was not as strict as that of other aristocratic families. Moreover, Madam Di never really control her actions. In addition, Old Grandma’s health was not very good. In her childhood, Qin Wanru often followed Qi Baiyu to shoot birds and climb up walls.

Although it had been many years since she last threw stones, she still had good eyesight.

“Ouch” was heard from the front right. The two ruffians were alarmed and their facial expression changed greatly. After they looked at each other, a ruffian strode over and pulled the servant out from behind the tree.

“It’s you!” The ruffian was relieved when he saw the servant who ordered them. “Did you come here to pay us? How about taking a look at what we’ve done? The Young Lady and servant girl. Both of them are here!”

“Qi Hai, go, go ask your First Young Master to save our Young Lady.” Mei Xue was stunned. At this moment, she felt hopeful when she saw Qi Tianyu’s servant. She began to cry loudly.

“I…” Qi Hai shivered. He did not know what to do now.

He was First Young Master’s servant, so he should help Miss Qin. But now, because of the Young Lady’s order, he could not help Miss Qin.

“What’s wrong with you? Do you want to act shamelessly?” The ruffian sneered.

“No…” The servant shook his head quickly. He was panic-stricken because he had been discovered so suddenly.

“Hand over the money. We’ve caught the master and her servant. After this, we’ll sell them. So, you’ll pay us, right?” The other ruffian sneered too and took two steps forward to force the servant.

The two ruffians also realized that there was something wrong, so they just wanted to take the money.

“I… I…” The servant stepped back. He had no money at all. Originally, Miss Qin was going to pay after this. His own Young Lady never thought to pay.

“You don’t want to admit to it? If you dare not admit it, we’ll release the story. Your master asked us to abduct the young lady of the Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion.” The ruffian reached out his hand and grabbed the servant.

“Qi Hai… You… You and First Young Master of the Qi Family plotted against our Young Lady? Why did you do that?” Mei Xue came to her senses at this time. Seeing this scene, she screamed out.

Qin Wanru looked at the scene quietly. Behind her, a faint voice was heard…
