“They outnumber us, we can’t stand a chance against them. Ah Bin, I’ll count to three, and when I do, seize the opportunity and we’ll drive the horse carriage out!” Su Wenyue watched the young guys encircling them and calmly spoke, clutching the hairpin she had pulled from her hair tightly in her hand, betraying her inner nervousness.

Because Ah Bin was usually quick-witted, he was assigned to escort Su Wenyue, proving to be reliable and composed during crisis. Upon hearing Su Wenyue’s command, he nodded seriously and drove the horse carriage out as she ordered.

“Think you can escape? No way!” The young guys scattered in disarray as the horse carriage charged, but two of them, more formidable than the others, managed to trip the horse, and the carriage came to a halt.

“Miss, run! I’ll hold them off at the back.” Seeing the situation, Ah Bin entangled himself with those rushing up, buying time for Su Wenyue.

Su Wenyue didn’t dally with any talk of deep master-servant affection. She ran as her legs would carry her, knowing the men were after her, and if she could escape, Ah Bin might not suffer much harm.

On the contrary, as a woman of the household, the world was harsh on women, and even if nothing happened, rumors would spread. Besides, those men were targeting her. Su Wenyue, burdened with reputation in her previous life and having suffered greatly for it, knew the pain all too well. With a determined belief, she must not let them catch her or have her reputation tarnished by this incident.

However, Su Wenyue was after all a woman and a sheltered daughter at that. No matter how fast she ran, she couldn’t outrun those young guys who roamed around the village in their daily lives. Before long, she was caught up with. At that moment, she felt a sense of despair. Could it be that despite her efforts to live well, she was still unable to escape a bleak fate and the burden of reputation?

“You wench, keep running, keep running. I want to see where you can run to!”

“What exactly do you want? I have no quarrels with you. Who is behind this? Is it Jiang Chunlan? Whatever she promised you, I can offer you the same.” Su Wenyue tried to keep a distance from the men while negotiating. If they’d agree to let her go for their own benefit, nothing could be better.

“The girl’s pretty clever, guessed it in one go. As for the benefits, your dear cousin wishes you were dead and has offered herself to us to deal with you. If you do the same, there’s nothing we can’t agree to. We’d even turn against your cousin if you ask,” said the young men with lecherous looks on their faces. Su Wenyue’s beauty far exceeded that of Jiang Chunlan, who had thrown herself at them. That’s why they agreed to assault her, having long coveted her beauty. Moreover, Su Wenyue was the Miss of the Su Family. Possessing her would give them leverage over her for life, and she wouldn’t dare refuse their demands. Whether it was the Su Family’s wealth or Su Wenyue’s dowry, there was plenty to gain. This thought made their faces show an unhidden greed.
