Feng Ran wanted to rest and have nothing to do with these people, but these people in front of her had no intention of letting her go.
"Feng Ran, shouldn't you tell us what happened?" Huang Qianqian blocked Feng Ran's way, not intending to let her go.
She finally had a chance to humiliate Feng Ran, and she would not let her go easily.
Clearly, people like Feng Ran should be the targets of everyone.
Huang Qianqian looked at Feng Ran's miserable state. Feng Ran should have been humiliated and mocked, but these people present were just watching the show.
She remembered that someone made a small mistake and was dealt with by Aunt Sheng in public. Feng Ran, in this situation, was meant to remind them that they had to obey her obediently in Chun Manyuan for the rest of their lives. Anyone who disobeyed would suffer the same fate as that person.
She had always known that Aunt Sheng took special care of Feng Ran, but she never expected Aunt Sheng to be so biased.
"Explain what happened? What right do you have?"
"You and I are the same." Feng Ran looked at Huang Qianqian with cold killing intent in her eyes.
In Chun Manyuan, Huang Qianqian did not get along with anyone. She always felt superior to others. Even though her face was ruined now, she still felt she was more beautiful than Feng Ran.
Huang Qianqian had always been bossy in Chun Manyuan, without any restraint. She was the eldest daughter of the Huang family, but it seemed she had forgotten that the Huang family was long gone, so she was nothing.
If it were any other day, Feng Ran would have just listened quietly when Huang Qianqian troubled her, and then left after she had finished complaining. But today, she was simply too tired and didn't want to endure it anymore.
Huang Qianqian wanted to continue to cause trouble for Feng Ran, but at that moment, when she met Feng Ran's eyes, she couldn't help but tremble.
Huang Qianqian was indignant. Why wasn't Feng Ran the one who was disgraced at this moment, but she was? Everyone was pointing fingers at her. How could she bear it?
She rushed forward, raising her hand high, almost touching Feng Ran's face, but at that moment, Feng Ran beat her to it, slapping her across the face.
Huang Qianqian's eyes widened, full of disbelief. She even doubted if what was happening before her was real or fake.
However, the pain on her face confirmed that it was real. She had truly been slapped by Feng Ran, and in front of so many people.
She had originally wanted to make Feng Ran look bad, but she never expected to be the one who looked bad.
She wanted to rush forward to retaliate, but Feng Ran said coldly, "Huang Qianqian, have you forgotten how your face was ruined?"
"You must remember, if you dare to touch me, you will gain nothing."
Feng Ran reached out and directly pinched Huang Qianqian's chin, saying menacingly, "Or do you want the other side of your face to be ruined as well?"
"I... I..."
Huang Qianqian listened and was truly afraid.
She knew better than anyone how her face had become like this.
"Feng Ran, I'll let you go this time, but I will never let you go next time."
In front of so many people, Huang Qianqian was even more worried that Feng Ran would reveal that matter, and then her reputation would be completely ruined.
However, she could not allow such a thing to happen to her now.
Although this was a rare opportunity to trouble Feng Ran, if she had to sacrifice herself to resolve this matter, then she would not make such a decision.
If she pushed Feng Ran too hard, she was even more worried that she would be ruined as well.
She absolutely could not act rashly now. She had to find that person and discuss it further.
There were plenty of opportunities to deal with Feng Ran anyway. If she missed this one, there would be another.
Huang Qianqian sneered and turned to leave.
...
In the private room.
Aunt Sheng was extremely distressed seeing Feng Ran covered in injuries.
Feng Ran looked at the scars on her body, at her neck and cheeks, bruised purple from being strangled, and the marks on her arms from being whipped, blood seeping through her clothes. She pulled down her collar and looked at the wound. The bloody wound made her gasp in pain.
Xuanyuan Heng was truly ruthless, truly intending to put her to death.
Feng Ran took the medicine brought by Aunt Sheng and carefully treated herself. Looking at the wound, she remembered being repeatedly humiliated by Xuanyuan Heng, and Feng Ran trembled all over. As she treated her wounds, her hands trembled.
The pain from applying medicine to the wound pierced her to the bone, making her tremble all over.
Xuanyuan Heng whipped her just because he heard some gossip. Thinking back now, it was utterly ridiculous.
Aunt Sheng watched from the side. She wanted to speak to Feng Ran, but meeting Feng Ran's pained gaze, she dared not ask what was on her mind.
She was afraid that asking Feng Ran those questions would make her extremely embarrassed.
Feng Ran would definitely not want to recall what she had experienced.
Feng Ran looked at Aunt Sheng, a hint of pleading in her eyes, and said softly, "Aunt Sheng, I want to rest. In a couple of days, I'll tell you what happened, okay?"
"Feng Ran, if you don't want to say it, don't force yourself. Don't think too much, okay?" Aunt Sheng said, full of worry.
This was what she had always been most worried about.
"Yes, Aunt Sheng, don't worry, I won't take my own life. After all, I still have many things to do."
"I still owe a life. My life no longer belongs to me. I live for others, not for myself."
Aunt Sheng was slightly stunned and looked at Feng Ran. Feng Ran had never spoken to her about this before. Today, how much shock and grievance had she suffered to say these words?
Feng Ran realized she had said something she shouldn't have. Because she knew that if she said these words, Aunt Sheng would definitely worry, and she was afraid that Aunt Sheng would do something unnecessary for her, which would be truly bad.
Aunt Sheng genuinely cared for her. She didn't want Aunt Sheng to be implicated because of her.
"Aunt Sheng, I want to rest," Feng Ran said softly, lowering her head. She didn't even dare to look at Aunt Sheng.
Aunt Sheng sighed helplessly and finally left.
Since Feng Ran didn't want to talk, let Feng Ran rest well.
As Aunt Sheng walked out, the door creaked open. At that moment, she saw someone. Aunt Sheng's expression changed instantly, her voice trembled, and she even sounded frightened.
Feng Ran was a little confused. Who on earth was outside that made Aunt Sheng so terrified?
