Chapter 3497: 4.1097 Driving the Dog into a Corner (Monthly Ticket Bonus 1)

Only then did they realize that Qiao Qiao had actually taken action against Yi Niang and her servant in secret? Wei Ziqin couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for the two of them! They came to their door to deliver money, only to be turned on by Qiao Qiao, who also demanded a massive promissory note back. They thought that was the end of it, but no, it wasn't! A good show was likely waiting for the master and servant on their way back! What a pity! Wei Ziqin and Qiao Zhongbang couldn't help but shake their heads.

These two were actually too naive...

The Purple Forest Guards, dispatched secretly by Qiao Mu, drove the dog into a corner, relentlessly pursuing Yi Niang and Manager Li until they reached the entrance of Youyi Lane before stopping. By this point, Yi Niang hardly had a patch of good skin left on her body. Manager Li was even worse off, his face bruised and swollen, his arm broken, and a large chunk of his head scraped off by a sword light, now gushing blood.

The two, who had left in grand style, returned to the Jade Cauldron Market looking like beggars, forlorn and wretched. Hunchback Old Li was so startled by their terrible state that he almost stumbled.

"Manager Li, what happened to you?" Qiao Yingchun rushed forward with a look of horror, just about to reach out and help Manager Li when he unceremoniously pushed her away. Manager Li was in so much pain all over his body that he couldn't think of anything romantic. Seeing Qiao Yingchun approach and babble, he couldn't help but snap, "Why are you still here? Get back to the Pink Pavilion! Don't wander around aimlessly all day when there's nothing to do."

Qiao Yingchun immediately grumbled, feeling wronged, "Manager Li, why are you scolding me like that? I'm just concerned about you."

Yi Niang had already been helped into the main courtyard by Hunchback Old Li. She kept glancing back anxiously, calling out urgently, "Quick, quick, quick! Send someone to block the entrance of Youyi Lane, quickly!!" She was terrified by those Purple Forest Guards who mercilessly beat them down. Although she didn't know who attacked them, she vaguely felt that it must be related to the Crown Princess.

Who did she provoke? Why was she made so miserable? Losing both money and almost her life!

Hunchback Old Li quickly took people to inspect the entrance of Youyi Lane and brought back the news: "No one is following." Yi Niang collapsed onto a stool. Old Li then invited a doctor from the Jade Cauldron Market to treat her injuries.

"What happened, Yi Niang? Who exactly was chasing you? How did you and Manager Li end up in such a sorry state?"

Yi Niang caught her breath, one hand clutching her wildly beating chest. Recalling the scene of dozens of swift black-clad figures chasing and attacking them, a faint sense of panic arose in her heart. She was indeed too naive. She thought that perhaps she hadn't shown enough respect in front of the Crown Princess, but she never expected the retribution to come so swiftly!

"Yi Niang, it was the Crown Princess, wasn't it? That wicked woman did it!" Qiao Yingchun couldn't help but shout, her eyes blazing with anger. "I knew she was no good! Constantly bullying the weak, not treating us ordinary common folk as human beings!"

"Aiya, Grandma, lower your voice!" After this incident, Manager Li was completely terrified of that poker-faced little Crown Princess. That was not someone he could afford to offend. Today, their attitude was considered good, giving both spiritual coins and the promissory note! Yet, unexpectedly, even so, it still incurred the little Crown Princess's wrath and pursuit. Manager Li was now completely baffled.
