The puppy barked wildly and pounced towards Gu Qingyuan,
At that moment, Gu Qingyuan's whole body tensed up, she squeezed the tea cup in her hand tightly, and threw the tea cup out with a strong force.
The porcelain hit the ground and the sound of shattering made the puppy hesitate for a moment. This hesitation made it lose its accuracy when it pounced.
Instead of jumping on Gu Qingyuan, she almost hit the corner of the table.
In just a moment, the puppy turned around again and stared at Gu Qingyuan eagerly.
The tea cup in her hand has been thrown out, and Gu Qingyuan can be said to be defenseless now.
She hasn't reached the door yet, leaning against the wall with no way out.
He didn't dare to take his eyes off the puppy, lest it pounce again, and groped around with his hands, hoping to catch something to defend himself against.
There was a chair in front of her, but it was staggered by the ladies running around just now, and she couldn't bend down to lift it up and hold it in her hands.
Bright light shines in from the window lattice.
The window lattice was closer to her than the door.
If you could jump out of the window...
She slowly moved towards the window lattice.
A breath of depression came out of her mouth, and she didn't know if she could escape.
Her life lasted only eighteen years, but she had never had anything.
Even if she dies, no one will be sad for her.
She thought about the time in Huangzhuang, how difficult it was, but she survived.
I have stumbled all the way to where I am today, and all I want is to survive.
Is she wrong?
Why could Mrs. Ruan attack her and use such methods to harm her many years ago?
If Pei Jinting hadn't made soup and medicine for her on a whim.
Will she lose her qualifications as a mother forever?
On which day did he even die?
When the Lu family came to propose marriage, her heart was so excited.
A noble family, no complicated interpersonal relationships, and a gentle and considerate husband.
She will have a home in the palm of her hand and manage her own life.
For this dream, she stumbled and walked for so many years.
But Lu Wenze shattered her dream.
The persistence in her heart was shattered into a mess.
Why? Why do you do this to her?
She was aggrieved and angry.
In order to make herself live a better life, she was called a dull beauty, boring, and said this and that.
Who could know her feeling of having no way to go but having to find a way out?
She resisted. She would rather lose her reputation and make a pact with Pei Jinting to steal her bride.
Just a dog.
Gu Qingyuan covered her beating chest and held her breath.
At this moment, she had to save herself.
He groped with his hands, keeping his eyes on the puppy.
Perhaps she was frightened by the tea cup. The puppy stared at her eagerly, always keeping an arm's length away from her, and refused to give up.
Just when she was about to reach the window, someone outside ordered the maid to close the window.
"Close the window and keep the dog inside. Miss Gu, come out quickly."
It's Princess Rongyang's voice.
Gu Qingyuan doubted that she could not get out of the house. She could no longer look at the puppy.
Staring too closely will be considered a challenge by the puppy.
The peaceful situation now can no longer be broken.
"Open the window," she said.
Princess Rongyang was a little hesitant outside. The windows in the water pavilion were not high enough to enjoy the scenery.
If you open the window and the dog jumps out of the window, there will be many guests outside.
Princess Rongyang thought for a while, and finally asked someone to reopen the window, and also asked two servants holding thick sticks to guard the door.
"Let the girl inside come out quickly. Catch that beast."
Princess Rongyang's sharp voice sounded, irritating the puppy that was already ready to move.
This time, it bared its teeth and rushed toward Gu Qingyuan like a moth to a flame.
The puppy was very close to her and rushed towards her very quickly. Gu Qingyuan seemed to have smelled the hot breath exhaled from its mouth, which contained a rotten smell.
In the imperial palace, at her desperate moment, that man, like a god descending from heaven, stretched out his hands towards her.
How can he save him this time?
Even if we come, it’s still too late!
She bit her lip hard, and blood spread around her lips. She used all her strength to hit a hard object in her hand and hit the puppy.
As soon as she said it, the sound of breaking wind passed through her ears at the same time.
The sound was extremely fast, and in the next moment, it suddenly penetrated into the flesh and blood, making a 'pop' sound.
Gu Qingyuan froze, opened her eyes wide, and kept leaning her body against the wall, not daring to move.
This extremely long and painful time for Gu Qingyuan was actually only a short moment.
She watched as an arrow penetrated the puppy's body and landed at her feet.
This sudden turn of events left her stunned for a moment.
When he turned around, he saw a man holding a long bow in his hand and stepping upright from the door.
Behind him, with the light behind him, stood many ladies.
She saw the man holding her arm, frowning, and looking at her up and down.
After a long while, he closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he raised his hand, his knuckled fingers fell on her hair, and rubbed it gently.
"It's okay. Don't be afraid."
His movements were so gentle that Gu Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, feeling exhausted for a moment.
"Pei Jinting." She murmured. "It's you."
The entire banquet guests gathered outside the water pavilion.
She asked in a slightly hoarse voice,
"Why are you here?"
The man was still looking at her carefully and did not respond to the question for a while.
On the other hand, He Zheng, who had followed him, sent someone to help the other limp ladies out of the house.
Outside the door, Princess Rongyang had already realized that it was true that her mad dog almost killed someone today.
Halfway through the banquet, they were interrupted.
The wives of each family found their own daughters, held them in their arms and coaxed her heartily.
What a shocking moment.
The timid girl could hardly stand and could only sob with her head buried in her head.
If you are brave enough, tell your mother what you just threw, and by the way,
"The seemingly well-behaved dog turned vicious and bit people's faces open."
Even if Mrs. Chengen is not happy enough with Gu Qingyuan.
But after all, he has entered the Pei family, so he must care about him no matter what.
She hurriedly pushed through the crowd, and just as she was about to enter, she saw Pei Jinting and Gu Qingyuan standing together.
The wind blew the fragrance of hibiscus in the pond, and Gu Qingyuan looked at Pei Jinting in front of her, under her deeply pressed brows.
It was the eyes that surged like waves, with emotions that Gu Qingyuan couldn't explain clearly.
Gu Qingyuan didn't expect that the person she hoped to save would be right in front of her.
She couldn't miss his gaze for a moment.
Pei Jinting held her waist and was about to help her out when his straight eyebrows frowned deeply and his dark eyes focused on one spot.
Gu Qingyuan followed his gaze and saw blood dripping from her right hand.
