Chapter 566 -517: Being Chased_1
Having revealed the secret burdening her heart, Dong Yuanyao regained her lively disposition and began wandering the streets with Daohua.
“Yiyi, just browse around, and if you see something you like, I’ll buy it for you,” she said.
Seeing Dong Yuanyao act as if money were no object, Daohua didn’t hold back either and pulled her into a rather upscale-looking jewelry store.
“This Red Coral Bracelet is quite nice, both beautiful and auspicious, perfect for Sister Zixuan to wear when she marries Brother Zhou.”
Dong Yuanyao looked at the item Daohua had picked out and grimaced in pain.
So expensive!
If she bought that bracelet, she’d have to spend a good portion of her New Year’s money.
Dong Yuanyao said dryly, “I think it’s just so-so. How about, you look at something else?”
Seeing her like this, Daohua couldn’t help but laugh a little and pretended to be very satisfied, shaking her head decisively, “No, I want this one.”
Dong Yuanyao still wanted to save her wallet a little longer, “I really think you should look at the others, they are also quite nice. That red Beaded Flower would suit you well.”
Daohua gave her a look, “I don’t want to wear a big red Beaded Flower. It makes one look like a matchmaker.”
Dong Yuanyao: “That’s not true…”
As the two were bickering, an arrogant brocade-clad young master strutted into the shop.
He glanced around and his eyes settled on the Red Coral Bracelet in front of Daohua, and he reached out to take it.
Dong Yuanyao, who had been trying to change Daohua’s mind, frowned, “Excuse me, young master, what are you doing? We were looking at that Red Coral Bracelet first.”
The brocade-clad young master looked Dong Yuanyao and Daohua up and down, his eyes lighting up, and a lecherous smile appeared on his face, “Oh, which family’s little maid is this? Such a pretty thing.”
Being stared at like that, Dong Yuanyao immediately got angry, “Where did this mad dog come from? Shopkeeper, won’t you kick him out? Are you not afraid he’ll dirty your store?”
The shopkeeper didn’t move. Incidents of competing for goods were common in the shop; they catered to high-end clientele, most of whom had some backing, and the staff were inclined not to offend anyone so they would not get involved in such matters.
Anyway, most of the time people just argued and the ownership of the goods was determined by their own abilities.
After hearing Dong Yuanyao’s words, the young master laughed instead of getting angry, “Tsk tsk tsk, such a fiery temper, I like it.” He then brazenly looked her up and down and reached out attempting to touch her face.
When Daohua saw this, she quickly pulled Dong Yuanyao back and grabbed the box holding the Red Coral Bracelet to smash it onto the young master’s hand.
“Ah!”
The force was so great that the young master cried out in pain and doubled over, contorting his face as he clutched his hand.
Daohua, seizing the moment while everyone was still in shock, grabbed Dong Yuanyao and ran out of the shop. They had just left the shop when they heard the young master’s furious roar behind them, “Catch those two wretches for me.”
Wang Manman, Bi Shi, Hong Yu, and Hong Fang were outside the shop eating candied haws and saw the two running out in a hurry. Before they could ask what had happened, they heard a cry of “Run fast!”
The four already had some experience with such situations and instinctively followed without even thinking.
So, a chase scene unfolded on the main street.
Thinking about the young master’s lecherous gaze, Dong Yuanyao felt more repulsed the more she thought about it. Glancing back to see they were still being pursued, she said to Daohua, “Yiyi, don’t run so fast, let’s lead them into a deserted alley.”
Daohua: “What are you going to do?”
Dong Yuanyao gritted her teeth, “I can’t swallow this anger. I must teach that bastard a lesson. It’s perfect because I haven’t had a good workout in two months.”
Daohua hesitated a bit, “What if there are experts among them?”
Dong Yuanyao snorted, “Do they look like experts to you?”
Daohua pondered a moment, then, considering the presence of Ang Ying, she nodded in agreement, “All right.”
Behind them, the four including Wang Manman grew anxious as the two ran further into isolation.
Soon, Daohua ran into a deserted alleyway.
“Miss, run quickly, they’re catching up!”
Seeing the two stop, Wang Manman and Hong Yu anxiously urged them on.
With a stern face, Dong Yuanyao picked up a yard-long wooden stick she had swiped from a small vendor, “Why run? I’m about to trap a dog.”
Daohua also took out the whip she carried and looked at the wooden stick in Dong Yuanyao’s hand, laughing, “That stick of yours really looks like a Beggar’s Sect Dog Beating Stick.”
“Dog Beating Stick?” Dong Yuanyao raised the stick, “The name fits well. When I get back, I’ll have my brother make me one, and carry it with me.”
The four people, including Wang Manman, who had been looking anxious, stopped talking when they saw the pair still had the mood to crack jokes.
At that moment, the brocade-clad young master arrived with his servants in tow, chasing after them.
Gazing at Daohua and Dong Yuanyao, the brocade-clad young master, gasping for breath, pointed at them and said, “I must teach you two shameless wretches a lesson you won’t forget.”
“You’re the bloody shameless one!”
Using her stick as a sword, Dong Yuanyao raised it and charged forward.

Daohua told the four including Wang Manman, “Go block the entrance of the alley.” Then, with a whip in hand, she too dashed into the fray.
Before long, a succession of anguished cries filled the alley.
Yan Ying, hidden on the rooftop, shook his head helplessly as he watched the brocade-clad young master and his men being beaten until they were scurrying in all directions, and Daohua and Dong Yuanyao getting more fired up as the fight went on.
He had thought that serving a new master would grant him a peaceful life, but to his surprise, accompanying the young lady turned out to be even more thrilling than following the Little Prince.
“Excuse me, let me through!”
When Yan Ying heard the clamor from the street, he turned his head and saw the patrolling officials speeding their way toward them. He sighed deeply.
Not even half a day into the provincial capital and the young lady had already stirred up the patrolling officials. Ah, such sorrow.
“Miss, the patrolling officials are coming, let’s get out of here fast!”
As Dong Yuanyao wielded her stick fiercely against the brocade-clad young master, and Daohua supported her with timely strikes, anyone who tried to stand up was met with Daohua’s whip.
Hearing Wang Manman’s warning, Dong Yuanyao wanted to continue fighting, but Daohua forcefully pulled her away.
The moment they ran out of the alley, the patrolling officials arrived.
“Stop, don’t run!”
The leader of the patrolling officials recognized the brocade-clad young master and was shocked to see him beaten and bloody. He immediately waved his men to pursue the assailants.
…
“Damn, the patrolling officials are catching up.”
Seeing the officials on their tail, Daohua was a bit anxious. If they were caught, she could forget about leaving the house for a year.
Dong Yuanyao no longer retained her composure, knowing that the trouble would reach her family, which wouldn’t bode well for her.
“Let’s go this way.”
Shortly, they arrived on a deserted street.
Daohua, seeing they were too many, quickly said to Wang Manman and the others, “Let’s split up and run. We’ll meet up at the Sihai Restaurant later.”
“No way!”
Both Wang Manman and Hong Yu disagreed.
While running, Daohua insisted, pulling Dong Yuanyao along, “We’re too noticeable all together. Don’t worry, we’ll be fine.”
After hearing this, Wang Manman and Hong Yu hesitated. But as the patrolling officials closed in again, the two gritted their teeth, not following Daohua and Dong Yuanyao, and dashed into another alley.
The patrolling officials also split into two groups to chase after them.
Unfamiliar with the provincial capital, Daohua just followed wherever Dong Yuanyao pointed.
However, before long, they had to stop.
Staring at the dead end ahead, Daohua gave Dong Yuanyao a chilly look.
Shrinking her neck, Dong Yuanyao said weakly, “I was sure there was an exit here.”
Daohua, utterly speechless, looked around and pointed to the quieter side of the walls, “No choice, we’ll have to climb over.”
“What if there are people inside?” Dong Yuanyao asked.
Daohua listened against the wall and murmured, “It’s so quiet there probably isn’t anyone. We’ll just jump over and hide for a bit until we lose the patrolling officials.”
Without further ado, Dong Yuanyao crouched down to help boost Daohua up the wall, then Daohua used her whip to pull Dong Yuanyao up as well.
They had just jumped down when the patrolling officials reached the spot.
