Chapter 261

As soon as Jin Que's words came out, everyone's eyes in the room turned toward Du Ruo.

Their expressions were different.

Among these people, many had seen Du Ruo's true face; they were the students who had participated in the county exam with Jiang Zhan last time. Even if others hadn't seen it, they had heard of it.

They knew very well that once Du Ruo's true appearance was revealed, the terrible ending that awaited her.

To describe it as worse than death might be an understatement.

Because of this, their eyes were filled with worry and sympathy.

Especially Xiao Liangchen.

Xiao Liangchen was gentle by nature and had never hated anyone in his life, except for Du Mingzhu, who had poisoned Du Ruo, and Jiang Youyi, who was pestering him.

But at this moment, looking at Jin Que's pretty face, he only felt that she was hideous and disgusting!

Anger, tension, and fear almost burst his heart.

He was even more dissatisfied with Du Ruo's husband, Jiang Li.

The man surnamed Jiang clearly knew how dangerous A'Man's face was, so why did he let her, a woman, go so far away? Why didn't he follow her to protect her?

If something happened to A'Man...

Xiao Liangchen's hands couldn't stop shaking; he didn't dare to think any further.

He looked angrily at Bian Dou Dou next to him.

If a servant is morally corrupt, it is the fault of the master for not disciplining them strictly!

Bian Dou Dou didn't notice Xiao Liangchen's death stare; he looked at Jin Que blankly, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

"Jin Que, you..."

Of course, he didn't want Jin Que to be harmed; she was his favorite maid.

But dragging an innocent person into the water, was that really okay?

Jin Que didn't care what Bian Dou Dou thought at this moment; she was terrified and just wanted to divert the disaster to protect herself.

Seeing those water bandits looking at Du Ruo with suspicion, she was afraid they wouldn't believe her, so she hurriedly said: "Just you wait, I'll wipe it off for you to see!"

After saying that, Jin Que ran quickly to Du Ruo, spat into her palms a few times.

Then she couldn't wait to wipe it on Du Ruo's face.

Du Ruo slapped her claws away with force and gave her two slaps.

"Get lost!"

Jin Que's head tilted from the slap, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

But getting lost was impossible.

Without Du Ruo as a shield, she would be finished!

"You made yourself ugly, wasn't it to amaze everyone? Now that there are so many men here, it's a good opportunity for you to show off."

Jin Que rushed toward Du Ruo again, her eyes crazy: "Come on, I'll help you!"

Du Ruo was completely enraged.

Originally, if Jin Que hadn't dragged her into it, she had made up her mind to save Jin Que.

Although she didn't like Jin Que, she couldn't bear to see a young girl in her prime fall into the hands of water bandits and suffer such inhumane humiliation.

But now...

*Heh. *

Go to hell!

Seeing Jin Que already closing in, Du Ruo curled her lips coldly, raised her foot, and kicked hard at the numbness point on Jin Que's leg.

Jin Que let out an "Ouch," and her kneecap hit the hard floor heavily.

She was in so much pain that tears rolled down her face immediately.

"Wuwuwu, Young Master... Young Master, she's bullying me..." Knowing she was no match for Du Ruo, she crawled to Bian Dou Dou's side and hugged him, crying.

Bian Dou Dou's expression was very colorful.

Red then black, black then white, white then green, and finally turned into a shameful blush.

He opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Instead, the water bandit opposite spoke. The leader, Short-Legged Tiger, clapped his hands: "Interesting, really interesting. Women fighting is just more interesting than men."

"Yes, yes, yes, too interesting!"

The lackeys echoed, glaring at Jin Que: "Why did you stop? Go, keep fighting, let our Brother Tiger watch enough!"

Jin Que was crying hard, and hearing this, she almost choked: "..."

Short-Legged Tiger gave the lackey a kick: "Watch my ass. Once we take them back, are you afraid there won't be a chance?"

He touched his bearded chin, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Du Ruo and Jin Que, and laughed wickedly: "When the time comes, I'll join in too. Three people fighting on the bed, that should be even more interesting."

Jin Que's body stiffened suddenly.

It's over. Does this mean he wants both? Then wasn't her hard work just now for nothing?

No, no, no, that's not allowed, absolutely not!

"You, you haven't seen her face yet..." Jin Que reminded him hurriedly.

Such a stunningly beautiful face, even she, a woman, couldn't help but feel moved when she saw it, let alone a man.

With such a beauty in front of them, who would still look at other women?

Maybe she would still have a chance of survival.

Short-Legged Tiger was really intrigued by her.

"Fine, I'll check the goods myself and see if she's really as beautiful as you say."

He stared at Du Ruo's face and approached step by step with a wicked smile.

Du Ruo also smiled.

Since she had transmigrated, she had never killed anyone with her own hands. It seemed she would have to break her vow today.

Short-Legged Tiger walked up to Du Ruo and slowly reached out his evil claws toward her.

Everyone held their breath, watching the tragic scene about to happen with fear and trepidation.

Only Jin Que clenched her fists, full of excitement.

Yes, that's it!

Hurry up and reveal her true colors!

Du Ruo turned her palm over calmly; the Bone-Eating Powder was about to be thrown...

"Stop!"

At the critical moment, a gong-like voice rang out abruptly, stopping Short-Legged Tiger.

It also interrupted Du Ruo's movement.

Everyone turned their heads subconsciously to look at the entrance of the dining hall.

A woman walked in.
