Chapter 117 Forced Back
It is impossible for a pickpocket to be without accomplices. Bai Qi chased him into the alley and found that in addition to the two who robbed the items, there were three other people.

"You little bitch, it's just a purse, but you're still chasing me here to seek death. I'll help you..."

The man who touched Baiqi's purse became angry and ashamed, and yelled at her.

White was just stunned for a moment, then rushed forward without saying a word, sweeping his legs, punching, and chopping with his palms, using the opponent's force to attack...

In just three minutes, the five men fell to the ground, screaming in agony.

After Bai Qi got his purse back, he was still angry and kicked this one and that one and cursed.

"I let you touch my purse, I let you be blind, I let you almost bump into my aunt..."

Afraid that Bai Tao would worry, and also worried that Bai Xiaocao wouldn't be able to take care of Bai Tao with all the things in her possession, Bai Qi quickly came out of the alley.

As she walked, she opened her purse and took out two pearl butterfly hairpins. She looked at them carefully and was relieved to see that they were not damaged.

"Phew, fortunately, it's not broken."

Bai Qi had no idea that it was her unintentional action that brought her trouble.

The pearl butterfly hairpin is made of pink and purple pearls, with a pair of wings trembling slightly and small beads hanging on the butterfly's antennae. The color combination is both exquisite and beautiful.

"Hey, stop right there."

As soon as Bai Qi put the butterfly hairpin into her purse, someone blocked her way.

"I'll give you five taels of silver and you give me the purse." The tone was condescending and domineering.

Bai Qi, who was about to put his purse away, looked up at the person who came over when he heard this.

She was a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, neatly dressed, with a haughty look, and a hairpin with a silk flower on her head.

Although Bai Qi couldn't tell the quality of the material of the clothes, judging from the way she was dressed, she should come from a well-off family, at least not short of money, otherwise she wouldn't be able to spend money to buy her purse.

"What do you want my wallet for?" Bai Qi was puzzled.

Her purse was not good-looking either. She had made it when she was learning needlework from an aunt in the village who was good at it. She had been using it for quite a while, but she never expected that someone would take a fancy to it.

"What are you talking about? Take the silver and give me the purse." The man stuffed the silver into Baiqi's hand with an impatient look on his face and reached out to her again.

"Okay." Seeing this, Bai Qi muttered to himself that rich people are just bored, while he rummaged through his purse, put the silver and the pearl butterfly hairpin into his arms, and then handed over the purse.

The visitor was delighted when he saw that the pearl butterfly hairpins turned out to be a pair. However, the next second, Baiqi handed him an empty purse.

She immediately became angry and slapped the purse out of Bai Qi's hand: "Who wants your broken purse? Give me that hairpin!"

She was indeed a lowly pariah. No one would want her shabby purse even if it was thrown on the ground, yet she wanted to cheat her out of five taels of silver.

White was wondering, and upon hearing this, he immediately took two or three steps back, with a vigilant look on his face: "You want my hairpin?"

"No! I'll return the money to you!" After saying that, she immediately threw the five taels of silver back.

"What did you say?"

Jasmine is the personal maidservant of Princess Deyang. Even the county magistrate would be polite to her. She never expected that she would meet someone ungrateful in Qingzhou.

Although Bai Qi wanted to curse, he was afraid of getting into trouble, so he had to carefully take a step back before continuing, "I won't sell this hairpin."

Are you kidding? This hairpin was given to me by my aunt. I can't sell it for five taels of silver, let alone five hundred taels of silver. Bai Tao didn't know this at the moment, otherwise she would definitely say, no no no, I must sell it for five hundred taels of silver.

"Here's the money, you can take it or not, but you have to give me the hairpin in your hand today!" Jasmine took the silver with a cold face, gestured to the two guards following behind her, and stepped aside.

Seeing this situation, Baiqi's face flashed with panic. Is he going to snatch it by force?

In broad daylight, someone was blatantly robbing people in the city. Is this the bully in my story?
But the bully in my aunt's story was robbing a woman. This man was a woman, and what he robbed was a hairpin.

"You, what are you going to do?" Baiqi stepped back again, looked hesitantly in the direction of the teahouse, and immediately decided to turn around and run.

But she couldn't bring trouble to her aunt, so she had to get rid of these people first and then go look for her aunt.

But just after Bai Qi turned around and ran a few steps, she was blocked back by a carriage and several guards.

When Jasmine saw that Bai Qi had almost escaped, she angrily glared at the two guards and quickly trotted to the carriage, whispering, "Princess..."

Bai Qi had trained in martial arts and her hearing and eyesight were very sharp. She could hear Jasmine's voice no matter how soft it was. She immediately argued angrily, "You are talking nonsense!"

The pearl butterfly hairpin was clearly given to her by her aunt, so when did it become theirs?

Although he is right, White is not stupid. He knows that two fists cannot beat four hands, so he must find a chance to run away, otherwise he will be in big trouble.

My aunt said that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, so if you can’t win, just run away.

These people are unreasonable. If they follow her lead and cause me to suffer injustice, how can she face me again?

Bai Qi's eyes turned, and she aimed at the alley next to her and was about to go in, but Jasmine kept staring at her before she passed by.

As soon as he saw Bai Qi's expression, he knew she was going to run away, and shouted to the guards, "Catch her quickly, don't let her run away."

No matter how good the martial arts secrets were, Bai Qi had only practiced for a short time and did not have much combat experience, so he almost hid in the alley several times but was forced back.

As the fight started, people on the street were quickly scared and started to dodge and hide.

Bai Tao was leaning on the railing on the second floor of the teahouse, watching the people on the street. Suddenly, she caught sight of something. The smile on her face paused, and her expression became stern: "Something happened to Bai Qi."

Bai Xiaocao was holding the teapot and pouring tea for Bai Tao. Before she could react, she saw her turn around and walk quickly towards the stairs. She immediately put down the teapot, picked up her things and followed her.

When she was walking down the stairs, Bai Xiaocao realized what was going on and was surprised: "Aunt, you said Sister Qi was in trouble?"

"Correct!"

On this side, Bai Qi saw that there was no hope of escaping several times, and shouted angrily: "I have already said that I will not sell it, but you still insist on snatching it. Is there any law?"

Princess Deyang felt ashamed that her guards couldn't even capture a little girl.

After Baiqi's shout, the people watching started pointing and talking. Princess Deyang had never suffered such a loss before, and her face immediately fell.

Jasmine saw it and immediately scolded: "You useless guys, didn't you eat? You can't even catch a stole and ran away!"

The guard didn't take Bai Qi seriously at first, but he didn't expect that he couldn't take her down after a fierce fight.

Upon hearing the voice, the leader of the guards quickly glanced at Princess Deyang's expression, his heart tightened, and he immediately waved his hand, and took two guards to join the attack on the white chess pieces.
