Chapter 832: Let Me Show You How I Turn the Tables on a Villain

“You stabbed the bandit’s throat with a hairpin?” Fan Tong sneered, his eyes in the dark night seemed like they were going to devour Gu Honglian. “Do you believe that yourself? How could a little woman like you possibly overpower a man?”

Gu Honglian nearly choked on the spot.

Fan Tong didn’t believe her.

Realizing this, Gu Honglian felt infinitely heartbroken.

“Whether you believe it or not, the bandit indeed didn’t succeed, and I did pierce the bandit’s neck with a hairpin.”

Fan Tong turned over and said: “Stop talking, let’s leave some dignity for both sides. I thought since you lost your honor, you’d confess sincerely to me. Not only did you not confess, but you also acted nonchalantly in my presence, and started to make excuses once I uncovered the truth. Gu Honglian, you disappoint me greatly.”

“Our Fan Family cannot accept a woman who has lost her virtue.”

Fan Tong thought to himself that he already had a good path ahead, with beautiful wives waiting, Gu Honglian would only be an obstacle in his path forward.

Previously he wanted to shake off Gu Honglian, fearing losing the connection with the Gu Family and the support of Gu Jingzhe and Lu Zhaoyang.

Now he was no longer afraid, all of them put together couldn’t compare to Prince Ning.

The Fifth Prince was executed, now the Emperor had only one son left, Prince Ning. To whom else would the throne be passed?

His future achievements would only surpass Gu Jingzhe, and the Gu Family could never fawn over him enough.

In fact, he had to thank last night’s bandits for allowing him to shake off Gu Honglian without bearing the infamy of being a heartless man.

Fan Tong’s words were like a heavy hammer smashing into Gu Honglian’s heart.

Gu Honglian felt as if she was drenched with a bucket of ice-cold water, shivering, colder than when she was fleeing in the snowstorm yesterday.

A huge rift was torn in Gu Honglian’s heart.

She should have cried, Gu Honglian wiped her eyes, but not a single tear fell.

Her disappointment in Fan Tong turned into anger.

Thinking of how last night after returning, she made a scene wanting to find Fan Tong, she felt like a clown.

She felt her sincere heart had been fed to the dogs.

“You and Fan Tong got separated at the entrance of the alley, within such a short time he would have heard your call for help, why didn’t he come to rescue you?”

Gu Taohua’s words hit Gu Honglian’s ears like a thunderclap.

Fan Tong had just admitted, he heard her cries for help.

“Fan Tong, since you’ve decided I was violated by the bandit, there’s nothing much more to say.” Gu Honglian’s voice was very calm.

She couldn’t be bothered to argue anymore, knowing Fan Tong wouldn’t believe her.

Fan Tong thought to himself, so he was right.

“If that’s the case then…”

“Ah!”

Before Fan Tong could finish, Gu Honglian got up and yanked off Fan Tong’s quilt, climbing on top of him, raining down punches.

“Today I’ll show you whether a weak woman can overpower a man or not.”

“Let me open your eyes and show you how I counter-killed the bandit.”

Fan Tong, being as feeble as a chicken on usual occasions, struggled several times under Gu Honglian but was unable to throw her off.

Gu Honglian’s rage exploded, seizing Fan Tong and slapping him repeatedly, making him dizzy and disoriented.

Instantly, Fan Tong was transported back to the time when they had just gotten married, Gu Honglian giving him a hearty beating in the old Gu Family residence.

Tong Huaqiong, almost asleep, suddenly heard sobbing and wailing from outside.

She thought thieves had sneaked into the yard again.

Last night’s two thieves had been taken to the government, she suspected their accomplices had come to retaliate.

She sat up in a hurry, got dressed and went out quickly.

Gu Dashu, Gu Dahuan, Gu Taohua, and others also heard the cries and all came out of their rooms.

Even the pregnant Lu Zhaozhao came out with them.

“Master, it’s Granny and Grandfather fighting.” A nanny holding a lantern said to Tong Huaqiong.

She wanted to open the door to see inside, but it was bolted so tightly that she couldn’t push it open.

There was no lighting inside, in total darkness, it was impossible to tell who was fighting whom.

Gu Dahuan and Gu Jingzhe walked up intending to kick the door open.

Though they didn’t care for little aunt, she was still a girl of the Gu Family and couldn’t be bullied by Fan Tong.

If Fan Tong dared to bully little aunt in front of the Gu Family, he deserved a beating.

The three brothers were ready for action.

Gu Dashu lifted his foot.

The door flew open with a rush, and immediately a person pushed past the three Gu brothers and ran out.

Soon after, another person came running out.

By then all the maidservants, nannies, and young boys were awakened by the commotion, everyone carried lanterns, lighting the courtyard as if it were daylight.

Two figures were chasing each other in the moonlight.

Tong Huaqiong’s eyes were dazzled; she saw a snow-white figure running and shouting in the courtyard, leaving afterimages in its wake.

Who else could it be but Fan Tong?

It’s just Fan Tong’s appearance was too shocking, as he was almost completely naked.

Behind him, Gu Honglian with her hair loose, brandished a knife like a specter, relentlessly pursuing Fan Tong.

Everyone was stunned into silence by the scene.

They had seen couples fighting before, but never had they seen one running around naked while being beaten.

Yaozu pointed at Fan Tong and said to Sister Man Er: “Sister Man Er, little uncle’s behind is so white.”

Mrs. Zhao and the maidservants and nannies wanted to laugh at these words, but held it in forcibly.

Chen Sufen, snapping back to her senses, pulled Man Er to her side and covered her eyes.

Those maidservants and nannies also wanted to cover their eyes. With such indecency, wouldn’t they get a stye?

Oh well, better to grow one than miss such a spectacle.

“Help!”

Fan Tong’s throat was about to give out from shouting.

“Sister-in-law, save me, make Honglian stop.” Fan Tong waved his hands, panting heavily, and begged Tong Huaqiong.

“Begging my sister-in-law is useless, she’s my sister-in-law.” Gu Honglian’s knife swung with formidable momentum in the cold night.

Naturally, Tong Huaqiong didn’t call out to stop them.

She pondered that Gu Honglian and Fan Tong were fine during the day, but started fighting at night.

Moreover, it seemed Fan Tong had done something wrong.

Otherwise, with Gu Honglian’s lovestruck nature, she wouldn’t have wielded a knife against Fan Tong.

What did Fan Tong do to overstep Gu Honglian’s boundaries?

Recalling how Fan Tong didn’t return all night and was perfectly clean, Tong Huaqiong understood, Fan Tong must have wallowed in pleasure gardens betraying Gu Honglian last night.

If that’s the case, then he deserved the beating.

Suddenly, Gu Honglian stopped her chase and casually pulled a hairpin from Liu Yueer’s head.

Liu Yueer: “…”

“Little aunt, what’s gotten into you.”

Chopping little uncle is one thing, why are you pulling her hairpin?

Fan Tong stopped as Gu Honglian halted. His legs went soft, and as he relaxed after running for dear life, he collapsed onto the snow.

However, Gu Honglian didn’t intend to let Fan Tong go, she ran towards him.

Fan Tong couldn’t even crawl in the snow, only managing to rub backward with his buttocks.

The posture was incredibly eye-piercing.

“Ah ah ah ah…”

Fan Tong was caught by Gu Honglian.

There was a flash of cold light, and Gu Honglian’s knife came down.

Fan Tong was about to faint when Gu Honglian threw the knife aside.

Just when Fan Tong felt a little relief, Gu Honglian calmly said, “Didn’t you say it was impossible for me to counter the bandit with a hairpin? Then let me reenact how I pierced the bandit’s neck with a hairpin.”

With that, she raised the hairpin in her hand and thrust it towards Fan Tong’s neck.
