The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Chapter 346 The chrysanthemum remains

Such a sudden and unexpected attack would be difficult for even someone with some skills to react to in the first time, let alone Ruan He, who was lazy and a typical weak scholar, so he was even less able to react.

Not to mention reacting, Fu Qingsu punched him twice in the face and slapped him three times, but Ruan He was unable to come to his senses in time. He just followed his body's instinct to protect himself, holding his head and taking several steps back.

This is too weak.

Fu Qingsu thought with some pride that someone who couldn't control his lower body and was not good at either literature or martial arts would be a cannon fodder in a novel, unless she was suddenly transported across time by a big shot one day. At this time, Fu Qingsu didn't realize that as the daughter of a doctor, she had beaten the prince of a marquis without authorization, which was, to put it seriously, an act of insubordination.

However, there are two souls in this body. One came from another world and her knowledge of this era is limited to the plots of a few so-called "novels". She has no idea how big the risk is hidden in her act of not wanting to be humiliated. Although the other one is a daughter of an official family, no one has taught her these things since she was a child. Although she has understood some of the principles of adults being officials through what she has seen and heard, she still doesn't understand much.

Moreover, everyone only hoped that she would be obedient and well-behaved. Perhaps Lady Anguohou had some kindness towards her niece, but she herself could not take care of herself and could not even discipline her own children, let alone her niece who was living with her.

In addition, Ruan He's identity as the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion made Zeng Suqiu feel the reality only when he bullied her. On weekdays, when the servants of the Marquis' Mansion deliberately teased and ridiculed, or even secretly mistreat Zeng Suqiu, Ruan He's performance was not even as good as the doorman's son who would protect his sister.

He always had a lot of reasons. He said that since these were people around his elders, he had to give them some face. He also used this to persuade Zeng Suqiu, who was treated harshly by the old maids. Moreover, they were the daughters or nieces of someone's housekeeper or shopkeeper. As a young master, he had to be lenient to them for the sake of their fathers and uncles' use and reputation. Zeng Suqiu, as a master as well, should also remember the kindness of the servants and be tolerant of their offenses.

The more Fu Qingsu thought about it, the angrier he became, and he slapped her left and right several times.

After several slaps in the face, Ruan He felt a burning pain on both sides of his face. He felt that both of his eyes were swollen and his vision became blurry. He couldn't help but yelled: "Stop! Stop! Su Niang... Zeng Su Qiu! I told you to stop!"

Fu Qingsu shook her numbed hands, with no intention of stopping. Instead, she found the right angle and kicked Ruan He on the butt, causing him to fall flat on his face.

"... Stop hitting me!!!" Ruan He rolled on the ground, no longer looking like the good young master in the Marquisate. His hair was messy and his clothes were covered with broken grass and bamboo leaves. "Someone come! Someone come!!!"

It would have been better if he didn't call for help. Once he shouted this, Fu Qingsu was reminded of that night in his memory. Although he couldn't see the scene, he could hear Zeng Suqiu's cries for help... He stopped punching and kicking Ruan He, looked around, and found a bamboo rake used to sweep bamboo leaves in the corner of the pavilion next to him.

He picked it up, turned around and knocked Ruan He, who had just climbed up from the ground, down again with the rake. Then he turned the rake upside down and used the handle, which was about two and a half fingers wide of an adult, to poke the fallen Ruan He hard, causing the chrysanthemums to bloom early in the sad autumn wind blown by the mouth of the prince.

The only pity was that I couldn't get it in very far because of the clothes, and no blood was seen at all.

The servants guarding outside the bamboo forest heard their master's cry for help, and when they hurried over, they saw this scene.

When Fu Qingsu saw so many people coming, the anger in his heart was extinguished. He immediately regretted that he couldn't control himself when his emotions got the better of him, and didn't leave earlier when Ruan He was rolling on the ground.

"Young Master!" The servants rushed forward shouting, some taking rakes taking rakes, some helping others taking help.

For a while, no one cared about the stay or departure of Zeng Suqiu, the "weak woman" who was the easiest to bully in the Manhou Mansion.

Fu Qingsu rolled her eyes and decisively ran away. However, before she had taken a few steps on tiptoe, she saw two adults and one child behind the pavilion. She didn't know how long they had been eavesdropping in the corner.

The two older ones were a handsome man dressed in a green Confucian robe, looking like a pretty girl, and dressed like a scholar; the other was a woman wearing a bright red Hu clothing, with a high ponytail, and a heroic look.

The woman was holding a beautiful child whose gender was hard to tell, and there was a cinnabar mole between the eyebrows.

Fu Qingsu was startled by the combination of the three people, and Jun Yuexin, who was also somewhat shocked by her last attack on Ruan He, raised one eyebrow and said in a ruffian tone, "Prince Ruan must have offended the young lady greatly. The attack the young lady made just now was somewhat like the spear stabbing practiced in the army."

Fu Qingsu, who had indeed practiced military boxing during military training and had also learned how to use a bayonet out of curiosity, said: "...Are you guys trying to stop me from leaving?"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that among the three people opposite, the handsome scholar turned out to be Lin Qiao. When Fu Qingsu was still in Linjiazhuang, her memory and spirit were all in a mess, and she was a little confused. So when she suddenly saw Lin Qiao again, she couldn't react for a while.

Now that she finally remembered Lin Qiao's identity, Fu Qingsu couldn't help feeling embarrassed: God the God of Time Travel, is there really someone who would read a novel about marrying an old man and becoming a stepmother and then yearn to travel through time?

Fu Qingsu admitted that she did like some sweet romance novels, but in fact it was mainly because the men she met in real life were too lame, and she was overwhelmed by the job search. Her body and mind really needed some sweet relaxation, especially...a life of lying down while being loved, cared for, and understood by others was really attractive to a college student like her who had just graduated.

I really want to lie down.

But after realizing that imagination and reality are completely different, Fu Qingsu understood more and more that she must not lie down. Even though she knew that Lin Qiao in front of her had left a name in history books and was a female minister who had helped countless poor women, at this moment, Fu Qingsu had almost no intention of asking for help from someone she was not familiar with.

While she was watching Lin Qiao warily, Lin Qiao was also observing her - this woman was becoming more and more different from the first time she met her, as if... she was slowly breaking free from some invisible restraints.
