CHAPTER 246: CHAPTER 161: THIS MAN... MIGHT HAVE BEWITCHED HER!

Sure, here’s the translation you requested:

In a daze, the man with a goatee slipped to the other side.

"Someone! Is everyone dead?!" he cried out in pain, cursing.

Initially thinking of taking advantage of the young beauty, he hadn’t let any servants follow him inside.

But who would have thought that this delicate young lady had such great strength!

Turns out... she’s the Seventh Princess of Great Xia!

What do you call this?

This is called ’Searching high and low only to find it effortlessly’!

As his voice fell, several burly men rushed in.

They looked very similar to Bianliao people, but their clothes weren’t like those of Bianliao.

"Tie up these two young women for me! You can play with the ugly one! Take the pretty one away!"

The goatee pointed at the Little Princess and Qiao’er.

Seeing the hulking men, Qiao’er turned pale with fright.

But she firmly protected the Little Princess in front and said with a trembling voice, "Princess, I’ll hold them off, you run! I may not be able to serve you in the future, please take care... Princess!!!"

As she was tearfully speaking, she suddenly heard a ’thud’ behind her.

Turning back, she saw the Princess had fallen to the ground!

"You’re despicable!!!" Qiao’er thought the goatee had drugged the Little Princess.

The goatee blinked inexplicably, his smile growing more lewd, "What are you standing still for, hurry up..."

Before he finished speaking, or the burly men could advance, two windows were kicked open!

Even the firmly locked door was directly destroyed.

Seeing who had arrived, Qiao’er’s heart was instantly at ease, tears streaming down. "Brother! The Princess she..."

Banlai, with three Bianliao soldiers, stormed into the room.

It seemed outnumbered, but he was not at all flustered, confidently striding in front of Qiao’er.

He wanted to help the fainted Little Princess up, but Qiao’er stopped him, "Brother! You’ll lose your head!"

Banlai: "..."

Sorry, I was too anxious and forgot how protective the General is.

"Take the lady and leave, I’ll handle this!"

Qiao’er, crying, said, "Brother! He drugged the Princess! Don’t let him get away with it!"

Qiao’er pointed at the utterly confused goatee.

What the heck, this is the third floor!

He was still puzzled about how these people had broken in silently, only to be accused by that damn girl!

"Don’t talk nonsense! I walk righteously, if it weren’t for your Princess deliberately seducing... argh—"

"Seducing your grandpa!"

With Banlai’s punch, the two groups in the room immediately began to fight.

Amidst the chaos, Qiao’er hugged the soft Little Princess and ran towards the broken door.

"You still want to run?!" The goatee, hiding in the corner, saw the two girls trying to escape and immediately chased after them.

Qiao’er was grabbed by the collar, nearly dropping the Princess.

Just as Banlai knocked down a burly man and came to the rescue, a stunning beauty suddenly appeared at the door.

She punched the goatee in the eye and directly took the Little Princess from Qiao’er’s arms.

The goatee wanted to chase after them but froze upon seeing the beauty’s face.

This pause allowed the three girls to slip away.

Dragging him back into the room...

When the beauty ran out of the tavern with the Little Princess, Qiao’er followed her, asking in great confusion, "Second Aunt? How did you..."

Lian Qiao, without batting an eye, said, "Didn’t I plan to leave the General Mansion after the New Year? I had nowhere to go, so I thought of setting up a shop to do some business for myself."

Before Qiao’er could respond, she asked back, "What happened to you all?"

Qiao’er felt something was odd...

But after spending time together these days, her prejudice against Second Aunt had long since disappeared.

Especially after that game of cuju, the General hadn’t tormented them to death!

There was real camaraderie there!

Without much thought, she said casually, "Oh, our Princess also wanted to set up a shop but didn’t expect to be targeted by that lustful scoundrel of a boss! He even wanted to make a move on our Princess! If not for Brother’s timely appearance..."

"Qiao’er."

She was interrupted by Lian Qiao, who had a serious expression, "Promise me, don’t use idioms anymore, okay? It’s called being blinded by lust!"

Blinded by lust... how could she come up with that!

Yun Chunnuan slept for two days and two nights.

She had no idea what happened during this time.

When she gradually awoke, she saw a man leaning on the edge of the bed.

His rough large hand tightly grasped her small hand, enclosing it firmly, as if afraid she would slip away in her sleep.
