Punish one as a warning to others

  Ouyang Jinqiu had never been afraid of anything since she was a child, and fighting was now a kind of enjoyment for her. She clenched her fists and charged forward, moving quickly and reacting extremely fast. Every time the guards attacked, she easily dodged them, while the guards were not so lucky, all revealing their weaknesses and being caught off guard by her.

  She was mentally clear, after all, they were her own family's guards and couldn't be too harsh. She just lightly punished them, and soon she had knocked this group of guards to the ground. At this time, someone inside the door shouted: "Who is it? You're making a ruckus outside, disturbing the ladies' rest! Are you looking for death?"

  A sharp-mouthed, middle-aged man with a pointed chin immediately walked out. Ouyang Jinqiu immediately remembered him. He was Zhao Er, the manager of the Ouyang family's mansion, who had also sold her!

  At this time, the housekeeper saw Ouyang Jinqiu stunned there and didn't dare to recognize him for a while, because the Ouyang Jinqiu in front of him was very different from before in terms of temperament, but his appearance was exactly the same.

  Ouyang Jinqi sneered coldly: "Zhao Erguanjia, you're quite well, aren't you!"

  Housekeeper Zhao Er was already suspicious, and when he heard the title of Third Miss, he felt even more guilty, and when he heard the voice, he jumped in fright. He listened carefully and it was indeed the voice of Third Miss Ouyang Jinqiu.

  Zhao nodded and bowed, responding in a loud voice: "I wish Third Miss good health", and scolded the guard for a while. However, he didn't notice that when Ouyang Jinchuan looked at him for the first time, he had already harbored murderous intentions.

  Ouyang Jinqi led the horse in and handed the reins to the captain of the guard, saying: "Give him plenty of food and drink, or I'll chop you two into pieces." Then he strode into the mansion, followed by the steward Zhao Er.

  Ouyang Jinqiu turned around and frowned at Zhao Er, saying in a cold voice: "Keep your distance from me, I'm afraid you'll dirty the path I've walked."

  "Yes, yes, little one, go away." Zhao Er felt relieved after hearing Ouyang Jinchuan's words and quickly ran off.

  Ouyang Jinqiu suddenly realized that she didn't remember the way home, because she had never wandered around the mansion before. It was too big, and just as she thought of asking something, Butler Zhao Er had already disappeared without a trace. She could only shake her head helplessly and continue walking inside.

  When she passed through a forest, she heard crying and scolding sounds coming from inside: "Sakura, you cheap woman, your master is gone, but you're still taking care of the house for him? Look at you, there's nothing valuable on you, just this ring is not bad, hurry up and hand it over to avoid suffering physical pain, otherwise don't blame sisters for being ruthless."

  "No! You can have anything you want, but this hairpin is the one thing I won't give you. It belongs to my mistress, and now that she's gone, it's all I have left of her. Please, don't take my hairpin away from me... Waaahhh..." Cherry's sobbing voice trailed off.

  "You're a worthless person! Since you don't know how to appreciate kindness, don't blame us for this. Hit me!"

  Ouyang Jinqiu felt that this was too much of a bully, it could be said that the master can bear it but the mistress cannot! She must go and help her!

  She walked into the woods, only to see four or five maid-like servant girls surrounding a little girl, who was kicking wildly. The little girl called Cherry was curled up, her hands tightly clutching a hairpin in her arms, as if it were her lifeline and she wouldn't let go.

  Her clothes were all footprints, and the corner of her mouth was also rubbed and bleeding, but she still tightly grasped the hairpin and stubbornly didn't want to give up.
