"Miss Duan San is really ruthless, to actually lay such a cruel hand on her own sister!"
"I heard she has set her eyes on Miss Duan Er's fiancé, and wants to take over the marriage, that's why she wants to get rid of her!"
"Enough, let's get this over with and take the money..."
The deliberately lowered voices still woke up Duan Yingning.
She suddenly opened her eyes, and a sharp cold light flashed in her clear and cold eyes.
Seeing her suddenly wake up, the two men in front of her were stunned, "She, she was supposed to be dead, wasn't she?!"
Duan Yingning turned her head and saw herself being pinned down on a table by a man, who was unfastening his pants, his intentions clear!
"Quick, cover her mouth!"
Afraid she would scream, the other man hurriedly shouted.
But Duan Yingning didn't give them the chance—she caught sight of a vase on the table from the corner of her eye, and suddenly grabbed it and smashed it on the table, gaining a weapon in her hand.
The broken vase was extremely sharp, but even sharper was her gaze.
"You're asking for death!"
Duan Yingning didn't hold back, she grabbed the broken vase and fiercely stabbed it into the man's neck!
Instantly, blood flowed like a river, and the man screamed in agony and fell down.
The other man, seeing the situation turning bad, tried to escape, but Duan Yingning leaped and grabbed his head, fiercely slamming it against the door.
After taking down the two big men in an instant, she looked at the blood on the ground, and then sat on a chair and wiped the blood splattered on her face.
Her name is Duan Yingning, from the 21st century.
This is a dynasty that never existed in history—the Eastern Lin Dynasty.
The original Duan Yingning was the legitimate second miss of the Ningyuan Marquis's residence, and had been bullied and ostracized by her sisters since childhood due to her timid and cowardly nature, not receiving the love and care of her parents.
She had endured bullying from a young age, but tonight, she was nearly beaten to death because she accidentally broke the favorite porcelain bowl of her younger sister, Duan Qingyun!
Not only that, they even tried to ruin her reputation!
In this era, a woman's reputation being ruined is like cutting off her lifeline.
But she, Duan Yingning, was a top-secret agent from the 21st century, skilled in medicine, combat, and more!
Tonight, while on a mission, her helicopter crashed, which led to her crossing over to this place, becoming the second miss of the Ningyuan Marquis's residence.
This Duan Qingyun, at such a young age, was so vicious...
Now that she was Duan Er, she would not allow herself to be bullied by anyone!
Taking a deep breath, she looked at her injuries, quickly dealt with them, and planned to seek revenge on Duan Qingyun!
This courtyard was remote and desolate, showing how little the original owner was favored.
Relying on her memories, she headed towards the Qingyun Garden where Duan Qingyun lived.
There were no lights in the courtyard, and the moon overhead was obscured by dark clouds, making it difficult to see the path ahead.
But as soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, someone covered her mouth!
Duan Yingning instinctively tried to elbow the person in the abdomen, but the person's strength was so great that even she couldn't break free from his restraint!
"Help me detoxify."
The man's pained voice came from her ear.
He dragged her and hid in a nearby rockery.
"As long as you detoxify for me, I can give you anything you want!"
The man pressed her against the rockery wall, one hand covering her mouth, and the other urgently caressing her waist, finally tearing off her belt!
His hand slipped inside, the slightly rough palm wandering on her skin, and Duan Yingning couldn't help but shiver!
She could tell that the roughness of his palm was due to holding weapons, forming a thin callus...
This man was a martial artist, and his martial arts were not ordinary!
What kind of trouble had she gotten herself into!
Just as she had easily dealt with those two scumbags, she was now being subjected to this kind of thing again?!
"You scoundrel, let go of me!"
She struggled violently, her voice muffled and low in her throat.
She had easily dealt with those two scumbags just now, but this man in front of her was no ordinary person!
Although her consciousness was somewhat blurred, she could still easily overpower her, and she couldn't resist!
Due to being ordered by Duan Qingyun to be beaten, Duan Yingning, covered in injuries, gradually lost her strength. In the dizziness that was about to make her faint, a sharp pain pierced through her...
"Scoundrel!"
She bit hard on his shoulder, and the man's body stiffened but did not stop.
Duan Yingning couldn't bear his ferocity and passed out directly.
...
Five years later.
Rong Jue walked expressionlessly on the street, with his attendant Feng closely following behind.
"Your Highness, are you really planning to annul the marriage with the second miss of the Ningyuan Marquis's residence?"
"I heard that Miss Duan Er has passed away. Why would Your Highness want to maintain a marriage contract with a dead person?"
He was the Crown Prince of the Huguo Duke's residence, highly regarded by the emperor and cherished by his parents.
Rong Jue had been engaged to the second miss of the Ningyuan Marquis's residence since childhood, but the fortune-teller had said that although their horoscopes matched, it was not suitable for them to marry early.
So he had planned to marry Duan Yingning when he turned twenty-two.
Unexpectedly, the old Duke suddenly passed away that year, and this matter was put on hold.
After three years of mourning, Rong Jue only heard about this news, so the first thing he did was to go to the Ningyuan Marquis's residence to cancel the marriage.
As he said, he couldn't maintain a marriage contract with a dead person.
Moreover, before this, he had only met Duan Yingning a few times, and knew that she was timid and reticent, not the person he liked.
He had no feelings for Duan Yingning, so annulling the marriage was straightforward.
Unexpectedly, before he entered the Ningyuan Marquis's residence, he heard a commotion coming from the alley beside him.
"You eat so much and grow so fat! Your father treats you like a pig, but you insist on barking like a dog!"
Like a gust of wind, "Young master, listen to this, it's quite rhyming! Who is this kid with such good eloquence!"
Rong Jue was curious and turned to look - two little brats were fighting in the alley!
One was stocky and the other tall and chubby.
They looked like they were two or three years apart in age.
The "rhyme" just now was spoken by the stocky kid.
"Duan Tuantuan! I'm going to strangle you!"
The chubby kid, red-faced with anger, resorted to violence when he couldn't argue.
Although he was taller and chubbier than Duan Tuantuan, he wasn't agile enough.
As he lunged forward, Duan Tuantuan swiftly dodged behind him and slapped him on the back of his head, "That's called stealing a peach from a monkey!"
"That's called catching someone off guard!"
He then kicked the chubby kid hard on the buttocks, causing him to lunge forward and smash his chubby face against the wall!
The chubby kid lay on the ground, crying, "Waaah."
"If you can't win, you cry, what a shame!"
"My mother said, a real man may lose his head and bleed, but he shouldn't cry like a baby!"
After being "humiliated" by Duan Tuantuan, the chubby kid couldn't take it anymore. He got up and ran past Rong Jue, crying all the way...
After straightening his clothes, Duan Tuantuan was about to leave when he saw Rong Jue standing at the mouth of the alley, staring at him.
He glared at him fiercely, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen kids fighting before?!"
He had seen kids fighting, but he had never seen two brats fighting so confidently... Rong Jue had never seen that before!
This little rascal, with his fierce and cute appearance!
"Which family's kid are you?"
Rong Jue asked with interest.
"Which family's adult are you?"
The little chubby boy crossed his arms, looking like a "cool dude."
"Hmm..."
Rong Jue couldn't help but chuckle. Just as he was about to continue questioning, he heard a cry of surprise from behind!
