C10 Death of red jade
"Yeah." Madame Li also nodded, she heard from Luo Mingshi that Chi Yu had framed her, and she did not believe subconsciously.
Luo Mingshi sighed, but she knew that this was just how her mother was, hence she explained in detail: "Does Aunt remember that day when Father suddenly brought people in?"
The Madame Li nodded her head and made a wishful expression. On her brows, two lines of fear could be seen as she gently said, "That's right."
"Everyone knows that Father likes to drink beef bone marrow tea. This soup is stored in every courtyard. It's not difficult to cook, but it requires a small fire to simmer for a full two hours."
Chi Yu's face was pale white, she stared at her: Let alone other things, when you were boiling this thing, I had people watch over it!
Madame Li's body turned cold, she indeed suspected that it was a servant with a backer, but she did not expect it to be Chi Yu. She bit her lower lip, and a pale bite mark appeared on her pink lips, causing her to look even more pitiful.
It was as if all the energy in his body had been sucked out, and he was leaning on his pillow made of crab claws and chrysanthemums. He was as frail as a little flower in the grass, his waist bent at any moment by the wind, and his gentle voice was filled with grief: "I admit that I am not weak to you, and I have even prepared a dowry for you. Why did you treat me like this?"
The teacup in his hand was violently thrown to the side, and roared as if he had gone insane: "You still dare to say, do you know what kind of person Butler Zhao is, that he has already lost three wives? He's a sadist, and you actually want me to marry someone like me, and make me thank you! You still want me to thank you! I just don't want to marry such a person. What's wrong with me? "
The Madame Li's brows furrowed as he thought of how she could have done it. She then asked in a trembling voice, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Of course she wouldn't." Luo Mingshi stared at her: "Because she felt that Aunt only relied on her beauty to get father's love, and was far inferior to the Concubine Cui who would sow dissension, even if I told you, it would be useless, right, Chi Yu!"
According to the Madame Li's personality, as long as Chi Yu was willing to say that she wasn't willing, she would definitely fight for him. However, Chi Yu didn't say anything, and silently chose to carry her master.
If that was the case, no one could be blamed.
Chi Yu powerlessly cried as she collapsed to the ground.
When the Madame Li saw this, her heart softened. When Luo Mingshi realized this, her brows knitted together as she asked, "Aunt, if our daughter had not discovered this beforehand, what do you think we would do now?"
The humiliation suffered by the Madame Li, the miserable death of her brother, and even the final outcome for herself. Thinking about all of these, her heart became as firm as a rock, and her heart was only thinking about the person who would repeat what would happen to her in the end.
Madame Li felt cold all over, after saying that I'm tired, she staggered and left.
Chi Yu was filled with fear for her unknown future. She turned around and knelt down, then kowtowed at the Madame Li's back with all her might. "Aunt, save me.
Madame Li paused in her steps and didn't look back.
Chi Yu finally cried in despair.
Luo Mingshi laughed coldly, and took out the dowry box that Madame Li had saved for Chi Yu. There were many things inside, it was comparable to a little family's daughter getting married off, Luo Mingshi did not pick any of them out, and had even added a few hairpins.
She looked down at Chi Yu condescendingly, and took out a silver hairpin from her jewelry box. Leaving her hair behind, she said softly, "The head of this hairpin has been grinded open, you handle it."
She lowered her body and whispered into Chi Yu's ear: "Rumor has it that that Manager Zhao really likes to pin a hairpin all over your wife's body. Don't worry, I will take good care of your mother."
She stood up and left slowly. She knew that the word 'kindness' ran counter to her, leaving it at the back of her mind.
In the end, his hand was stained with blood.
After that, Chi Yu was sent to Concubine Cui's courtyard. According to Luo Mingshi's words, this was done by the Concubine Cui as a bridge, so he should just let her marry him.
Luoan'S Time hated Chi Yu so much that she would not even let him go. She never thought that Chi Yu would actually commit suicide on the second day after she left the room, and after she sent someone to inspect her, she discovered that her body was covered in injuries from being mistreated. Luoan'S Time was naturally furious, but Concubine Cui swore an oath to the heavens, "I do hate her enormously.
Chi Yu's corpse was in the hall, covered by a layer of white cloth, but from the wounds on her hand, it could be seen that it was still hanging down.
"Oh?" Luoan'S Time did her best to suppress her anger, but her tone was still cold: "What you're saying is, this good daughter of yours isn't marrying anyone, but is seeking death just to frame you?"
If it was an ordinary servant girl, Luoan'S Time would not be so angry, but this was the servant girl that he had pointed out to her before marriage.
"Father!"
Luo Mingshi, who had heard the news, stepped into the house. With bloodshot eyes, she didn't say anything and silently bowed. Then, she asked. "Daddy, can you let me see Chi Yu one last time?"
Luoan'S Time only felt that his little girl had suffered too much these days and couldn't bear to refuse. But when he thought about her miserable state, he couldn't bear to see it, much less let his little girl see her.
"I beg father to let my daughter see. My daughter also needs to get married. She must have a good memory so that she won't do such a foolish thing the next time she fails to investigate." Luo Mingshi's eyes reddened, and tears flowed down her face, "If I told her to marry in the Willow Courtyard, how would such a thing happen? My daughter thought that this was a marriage made by the Concubine Cui, so... It's all my daughter's fault, it's all my daughter's fault that I still can't get up. "
Although she did not say anything, she still said everything. Concubine Cui was so angry that she was about to spurt out a mouthful of blood as she said angrily: "You are slandering me."
Luo Mingshi looked confused. She understood that from the fact that her mother was doted on and the fact that she was taken in as a concubine in her previous life, it was obvious that men liked girls who were weak and would only cry silently if they were wronged. Thus, at the moment, she did not say anything and knelt in front of Chi Yu.
On the other hand, Luoan'S Time could not watch anymore. He slapped Concubine Cui on the face and said with an ashen face: "Is this how you talk to Second Miss?"
Concubine Cui was stunned by the punch, she had never been hit by it before, this was the first time this was happening to her.
Hearing that clear and crisp slap, Luo Mingshi revealed a faint smile, which instantly changed into shock, and exclaimed: "Chi Yu's hand! Father, quickly look! Chi Yu's hand!"
Luoan'S Time was startled, she only thought that her daughter was scared stiff. When she stepped forward to take a look, she was also stunned.
He saw that after Chi Yu had a hairpin stuck onto her throat, shshedid not look again. When she was summoned over, he saw that there were many hairpin marks on Chi Yu's arm, and under the cover of the fresh blood, she could vaguely see dense needle.
"Father, I beg of you, please uphold justice for Chi Yu, this is clearly someone mistreating her, causing her to die from the humiliation. That person drew these scars in order to prevent the eye of the needle from being exposed!"
When Concubine Cui heard her, she realized something was wrong. She crawled forward on her knees and used all her strength to pull at his clothes. "Master, I ?"
