Chapter 11: The Third Sister was pinned to the bed by someone

"Who wouldn't want to watch a good show?"

A hint of a smile flashed across Duan Yingning's lips as she handed the folding fan to Li Pozi. "Stay here and watch over Tuanbao. If he wakes up, just tell them I went to the servant's quarters."

Li Pozi took the fan and dutifully stood guard at the door, as still as a statue.

Next, she witnessed a scene that would be unforgettable for her!

She saw her "helpless and easily bullied" second young miss from her family leap from the attic!

Li Pozi was about to cry out in shock, but she was afraid of waking Tuanbao.

She hurriedly covered her mouth and rushed to the railing, nervously looking down below.

Was her young miss, just now... trying to commit suicide by jumping off the building?!

And Duan Yingning, who had just leaped down, was now standing steadily on the wall.

Li Pozi was stunned speechless!

When did the second young miss learn to perform such acrobatics?!

Under the cover of night, Duan Yingning stealthily sneaked into Qingyun Garden.

The garden was peaceful, with servants dozing off under the veranda. Everything seemed calm, but inside Duan Qingyun's chamber, it was in chaos!

"Who are you..."

Duan Qingyun looked at the masked men who barged in, but before she could finish her sentence, they covered her mouth.

The men swiftly bound her hands, gagged her, and threw her onto the bed!

They began to unfasten their belts.

Duan Qingyun, usually arrogant, had never encountered such a situation before.

She was petrified, her face pale. She tried to cry for mercy, but her muffled pleas were incoherent due to the gag.

Her clothes were swiftly stripped off, and the men were about to force themselves on her...

Just as the situation was about to reach a critical point, the door was suddenly pushed open!

The person who entered was none other than Duan Baoyu!

As the door was pushed open, a plump figure rushed in. Sitting on the wall, Duan Yingning inwardly cursed at the turn of events.

"Ah..."

The next moment, a deafening roar echoed as Duan Baoyu let out a shout, causing the entire Marquis's residence to tremble.

Several neighboring mansions were also alarmed and lit up a few more lamps.

"Father! Mother! Help!"

Duan Baoyu stood by the door, shouting at the top of his lungs.

Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, and unable to lay a hand on Duan Baoyu, the men reluctantly abandoned Duan Qingyun and fled through the window.

Duan Qingyun was left trembling in the corner, her face drained of color.

The thrilling "tit for tat" show tonight was interrupted just like that?

Duan Yingning gritted her teeth in frustration.

She had been standing on the wall, watching the show.

Little did she know that Duan Baoyu, in his black nightclothes, had sneaked in along the wall, and that's why she saw him opening the door, realizing that the little rascal was up to no good!

Tonight, Duan Qingyun was lucky!

Duan Baoyu's shout successfully "summoned" Duan Zhineng and Madame Zhou.

The elderly couple thought something had happened to Duan Baoyu and hurried over without even putting on their shoes.

"Father, mother, a few men in black just pinned Sister San on the bed!"

Duan Baoyu pointed to Duan Qingyun, who was still cowering and trembling on the bed.

Relieved to see him unharmed, the elderly couple let out a sigh of relief.

Following his chubby finger, Madame Zhou's expression changed, and she hurried over to cover Duan Qingyun with a blanket. "Qingyun, what happened? Who were those men in black?!"

Duan Qingyun, with a pale face and a look of panic, was at a loss for words.

Upon hearing Madame Zhou's voice, she slowly regained her composure, as if her soul had just returned to her body.

"Mother!"

She burst into tears and threw herself into Madame Zhou's arms. "Mother, my innocence was almost ruined! Father, mother, you have to stand up for me!"

Duan Zhineng embraced Duan Baoyu at the door.

Madame Zhou held Duan Qingyun by the bed.

Upon hearing her words, Madame Zhou was filled with fear and quickly inquired about what had happened.

Duan Qingyun, still trembling, could barely explain what had happened tonight and how the men in black had appeared out of nowhere.

She was still in a state of confusion!

"Baoyu, why are you not sleeping at this late hour? What are you doing in your third sister's room?"

Duan Zhineng asked.

"I... I couldn't sleep in my courtyard."

Duan Baoyu said with a hint of grievance. "I just wanted to sleep with my third sister! If she had kicked me out, I would have just stood in her courtyard and looked at my old room."

Hearing this, Duan Zhineng shed bitter tears.

He also wanted to give the best to his youngest son.

But his second daughter had become a troublemaker, and he couldn't afford to provoke her!

Next door to Qingyun Garden was Qingxin Courtyard, where Duan Yingning, that troublemaker, had turned it into Jingxin Courtyard... But if Baoyu couldn't sleep in his courtyard, it was understandable.

The elderly couple felt even more heartache for the chubby little boy, and their resentment towards Duan Yingning grew stronger.

"But as soon as I came in, I saw Sister San being..."

Duan Baoyu's words were cut off by Madame Zhou's stern warning. "Baoyu, don't say any more! You must never speak of this to anyone, do you understand?"

Duan Baoyu timidly shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.

Madame Zhou, being a woman of propriety, had to be more careful.

She signaled to Duan Zhineng to take Duan Baoyu away and not to reveal the incident.

Then she gently comforted Duan Qingyun, "It's all right, Qingyun. Father and I are here! The bad people have been driven away, so don't be afraid."

Despite her words, Duan Qingyun continued to tremble.

She clutched Madame Zhou's sleeve tightly, clearly still terrified from tonight's events.

Seeing the red marks on her body, Madame Zhou was uncertain and asked in a low voice.

Duan Qingyun's chastity is still intact, and Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

"We have people on night duty in the Marquis's mansion, how could black-clothed men still break in? And these men went straight to your room, it must be someone's doing," Zhou said in a deep voice.

Duan Qingyun also calmed down a bit.

She looked up at Zhou with tears in her eyes, "Mother, it must be that wretched Duan Yingning!"

Duan Yingning outside the door shrugged and sneered, "Sure enough, when something bad happens, it's always me they suspect."

It had to be said, Duan Qingyun's guess was spot on!

But why did Zhou not stop her from calling her own sister "wretched"? Weren't they both her daughters?

Zhou's and Duan Zhineng's favoritism had reached an outrageous level!

Duan Yingning's face gradually darkened.

"Why would she do such a terrible thing to you out of the blue? Besides, she hasn't even left the Marquis's mansion, so where would she find someone to bully you?" Zhou shook her head, showing some disagreement with Duan Qingyun's viewpoint.

"Mother, have you forgotten?" Duan Qingyun gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "It was me who had someone bully her five years ago, and that's why she gave birth to an illegitimate child!"

"Maybe she's getting back at me!"

"This..." Zhou was also somewhat troubled.

After thinking it over, she was still more biased towards Duan Qingyun. "Regardless of whether she did it or not, bring her here and ask her!"

"Someone! Bring the Second Miss here!"
