Volume 1: Phoenix Nirvana, Reborn from the Flames Chapter 30: You're Forcing Me

  Pinger's whole body convulsed, her eyes slightly opened, and she glanced at the madam. In a daze, she saw a figure walking into the courtyard outside, and a smile spread across her small face.

  Qin Yanlian's beautiful eyes narrowed, her face filled with resentment, gazing at the smile on Ping'er's face. A faint, pale smile spread across her sweaty face, giving off an eerie and sinister feeling. "You shameless woman, you're still smiling!" She felt a chill run down her spine, lifted her skirt, and prepared to kick again.

  "Those who insult others will inevitably demean themselves!" A stern voice accompanied by a dark, inky light swept into the courtyard filled with vibrant peonies. The petals of the blooming flowers were torn from their stems and lifted off the ground by the powerful gusts, fluttering and swirling in mid-air.

  A slender leg flew through the air, and a swallow turned around, kicking one foot on Qin Yanlian's leg that was about to kick Ping'er. Qin Yanlian stumbled sideways with a thud, her body spinning twice, fortunately two ayahs supported her on either side, or she would have fallen to the ground, but still bumped all over in pain.

  Where the wind passes, the fallen peony petals flutter, a woman in black stands under it, her whole body cold and stern, standing before the crowd, her eyebrows like willow leaves, her eyes like starry sky, the warm sunlight of noon cannot bring any warmth to her, her whole body is filled with intense coldness, the newcomer is Qing Ge, her starry eyes are full of frost, scanning the courtyard.

  "Sprout." Saw lying on the ground, the delicate little face of Sprout was covered in sweat, Qing Ge's eyes narrowed and she strode over, embracing Sprout in her arms.

  "Cough, cough... Young Miss, I knew you were coming. I just saw you earlier..." Ping'er narrowed her eyes, her pale face had a smile on it, and there was a radiant glow in the depths of her eyes as she gazed at Qing Ge with adoration. She knew that the person she saw earlier was indeed Young Miss, which is why she smiled.

  "Ah, I'm here." Qing Ge observed Ping Er's complexion, one hand pressing on her pulse.

  "Cough... cough... cough..." Ping'er leaned weakly against Qing Ge, coughing from time to time, a thin line of red blood slowly seeping out of the corner of her mouth.

  In an instant, Qing Ge's face changed color, her eyes saw the bloodstains at Ping Er's mouth, and her starry eyes condensed. She lifted up Ping Er's clothes again to take a look, and found that her abdomen was covered in dark purple bruises, as was her back.

  Who kicked her, who kicked a fourteen-year-old girl into such a state? Qing Ge's heart chilled, and his eyes shot towards the crowd like cold arrows. The others all trembled with fear, not daring to raise their heads to look.

  "Qing Ge, you dare to kick me!" Qin Yanlian adjusted her crooked hairpin and glared at Qing Ge in anger. She had no idea what had just happened, but that one kick had landed right on her body.

  When did Mu Qing return, and why didn't anyone inform her!

  Qing Ge didn't say a word, her eyes not even glancing at Qin Yanlian as she helped Ping'er up. "Ping'er, don't move, I'll take you to see the doctor." The blood at the corner of Ping'er's mouth was likely due to internal bleeding, and although it didn't seem too serious yet, they had to go see a doctor. Although Qing Ge knew some medical skills, what she knew was still far from the expertise of a professional doctor who specialized in treating illnesses.

  Ping'er nodded, "Big sister, you're really good to me." A smile spread across her face, and although she wasn't a stunning beauty, in Qing Ge's eyes she was even more lovely than the precious peonies in the garden. This simple little girl was the first friend she had ever met, yes, a friend.

  Since she is a friend, Mu Qing Ge will treat her with sincerity and do her best for their friendship.

  The scorching temperature of the early summer sun shines in the midst of a bustling courtyard, but cannot warm the temperature of people's hearts.

  "Mu Qing Ge, you kicked the madam, do you think you can escape?" Yu Xiang shouted loudly, her hand clutching a handkerchief and rubbing her swollen arm. In her heart, she thought, Mu Qing Ge, you want to take Ping Er away with you? You hit me and think that's it? Don't even think about it!

  Lotus White saw Jade Fragrance shouting and also reacted, continuing: "Yes, you really don't put the madam in your eyes!"

  Two people's words fell into Qin Yanlian's ears, each sentence hitting exactly what she hated, Qin Yanlian's beautiful eyes narrowed, with a fierce light, she looked at the two maids beside her, nodded towards Qingge, and said with a strange smile on her face, "You, stop her for me!"

  The two maids nodded immediately, they were originally following the big madam to marry over, and also had a good martial arts, usually when the big madam did something that was not obedient, it was them who took action to suppress, just like today catching the crazy Ping'er.

  At this time, the maid saw Qing Ge and smiled coldly. They had been following the madam for many years and were used to dealing with people beneath them. Suddenly, she stepped forward and blocked Qing Ge's path.

  "Miss... you can't go." One of the square-faced maids called out in a sassy tone, stretching out her hand to block Qing Ge.

  She stood still, one hand supporting the soft body of Ping'er, standing against the wind with a calm and dignified demeanor. A cold aura emanated from her as she gazed forward with a face as white as jade and lips as red as vermilion, her eyes devoid of any emotion. "Let me pass."

  Square-faced auntie used to know that Mu Qingge was a soft persimmon, and she could squeeze her however she wanted.

  Last night, the two of them were not on duty and didn't know how Qing Ge took over the Fu Rong courtyard. Moreover, they had been Qin Yanlian's personal maids since childhood, and their martial arts skills were better than those of the two guards. Today, even if they heard other maids say so, they thought highly of themselves and didn't take it to heart. At this moment, seeing that Qing Ge's eyes didn't have a hint of them, they felt angry in their hearts, their faces twitched, and their nostrils flared as they said, "Are you asking us to step aside?"

  "Cough... cough..." Ping'er leaned her head on Qing Ge's shoulder and coughed a few more times. A warm, fishy-smelling breath flowed down from Qing Ge's shoulder, and she quickly looked down to see that the blood threads at the corner of Ping'er's mouth had turned into a large flow of blood. Ping'er was spitting up blood!

  The internal organs must have been injured, and it's not just a general severity!

  She gently wiped the blood from the corner of Ping'er's mouth with her sleeve, and when she lifted her head again, on her absolutely beautiful face, a pair of ink-colored eyes were filled with thick black fog, like an endless desert that couldn't be seen at a glance, full of desolation, making one feel chilled to the bone. "I'll say it again, get out of my way."

  An extremely light tone, without any ups and downs, a dull voice as if read out by a machine, yet it made everyone present feel a chill in their hearts.

  Qin Yanlian couldn't help but think of Qingge's appearance last night, her heart also slightly trembling. The move that made the two guards fall was too swift and too strange. But perhaps it was because the two guards' martial arts skills were not good enough? She didn't believe no matter what that Qingge's martial arts skills had suddenly improved, even if they had improved, could they be better than her two personal maidservants who were specially trained by her father?

  She originally hated Mu Qingge, and finding Ping'er was just a vent, now that Qingge has come to the door, how could she miss this opportunity.

  At this thought, her delicate face paused for a moment, and she immediately ordered: "Zhang Nianiang, Wang Nianiang, bring me up, today I will not let that little hoof and that cheap servant go out!"

  The old woman Wang was the square-faced one from just now, and together with Zhang, they twitched their meaty faces, glared with their eyes, let out a "heh heh" laugh, and had an expression that was both disgusting and excited. In a strange tone, she said: "Young Miss, I'm afraid we're going to have to offend you!" As soon as the words were spoken, the two of them pulled on each other's sleeves, their large bodies flashing by in an instant, and suddenly charged towards Qing Ge.

  Ping'er leaned on Qingge's shoulder, looking at the two women, took a deep breath. She knew these two women were not ordinary, their skills were exceptional. In the past, when someone came to cause trouble in the mansion, they would take care of them with ease, throwing out several strong men. Although the eldest miss was very capable, she was worried that she might not be able to win against the two of them. She looked up and said: "Eldest miss, cough... don't mind me, they are very formidable..."

  Qing Ge nodded slightly, "I know." The two women's movements she could tell at a glance were not simple, but what did that have to do with anything!

  She supported Ping'er on one side and leaned her against the wall. Her starry eyes were soft to an extreme degree, "You lean for a while first, I'll be fine immediately."

  She didn't want to take action at first, but Ping'er's body, which had suffered internal injuries, couldn't afford to drag on any longer. Time was life, and she didn't want to delay for a minute, otherwise, she wouldn't have spared Qin Yilian just now.

  However, if she doesn't make a move today, the people here will never let her leave.

  This world isn't one where she wouldn't take action if she couldn't think of a way, Qing Ge's eagle-like gaze swept over everyone in the courtyard, it was you who forced me.
