Chapter 319: 2 People Arrested and 1 Fallen into a Well
After receiving the news from Duke Anguo’s mansion, he scolded the Marquis for lying to cheat his marriage, and beat him up, and decided to take his daughter back and divorce him.
If the lady really divorces the Marquis, she will take the dowry with her.
If that were the case, wouldn't their plan from the beginning be in vain?
The Marquis said all the good things in the world, and spoke sweet words without paying for them, and finally coaxed his wife and angered the people from the Anguo Mansion and left!
By keeping the soft-tempered lady, you also keep her dowry.
Even so, Yin and the old lady were still not satisfied.
The old lady always felt that the lady was of noble birth and powerful background, which made her feel oppressive.
She relied on her wife for food, clothing and other expenses, but she never felt grateful and only felt pressured. In front of her wife, she could not show off her dignity as a mother-in-law.
But Yin was not willing to be a concubine forever. She wanted to be the wife of the principal wife, and she wanted her children to be legitimate daughters and sons.
The aunt and niece discussed this issue again and again, wondering how they could get rid of the lady without making a fuss and leave behind the huge dowry so that they could enjoy it as they pleased!
That day, the aunt and niece discovered that the lady was suffering from morning sickness.
They don't want their wives to give birth to another legitimate son or daughter, especially they don't want their wives to give birth to a legitimate son!
If a woman is pregnant and not careful, any accidents are possible.
They thought of taking advantage of the fact that the lady was pregnant and had not yet consulted a doctor to confirm the diagnosis, and then harm her!
After Yin entered the Marquis's Mansion, the old lady gave the servant to Yin, who was a concubine at the time, as a first-class maid.
Later, because the Marquis smiled when I was talking to him once, Yin pointed me out to Qiu Jiang, the guard in the palace, the next day.
After Qiu Jiang married me, he treated me very well, so I felt at ease living with Qiu Jiang.
Since the Marquis's mansion was run by the Madam, the servants received generous monthly wages. I was reluctant to give up this monthly wage, so I started working as a nanny for Yin.
Alas! If I had known that staying as a nanny would bring disaster later, I would have stayed at home to do the laundry, cook, and take care of my husband and children!"
Leng Rongyue sneered, "If I had known this would happen?
What would I have done if I had known this would happen?
Humph! If you had known this would happen, how could you have made a fortune by harming others?
Or, if it doesn't bring about disaster later, then it's okay to make money by harming others, right?"
"No, no...no..." Qian hurriedly started to defend herself.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt that his defense was weak and powerless, and what he said was just nonsense!
Qian calmed down her breath a little, and then continued, "Since I have become Yin's servant, I naturally want the best for my master and hope that she will rise to higher levels.
If the master is good, the servants will follow suit.
So... I... I thought of my cousin who worked in Zhuchun Hall, and recommended him to Yin and the old lady.
At the time, I was also thinking that my cousin could use this incident to make some money. "
"Huh! You have a good idea!
Let your cousin make some money!
The silver is my mother's silver;
Life, the life of my mother and the baby in her belly!
But you want to use the life of my mother and the child in her womb to earn her money!
You master and servant are really birds of a feather!"
Leng Rongyue clenched her fists tightly, "And then?"
"What happened next has just been… Lu Huai has already told me.
I didn't expect that they... they would be so cruel!
They will even kill people who work for them and their loyal slaves!
That day, if I hadn't taken Shuanzi out to buy things, we would have... would have been killed at home by the people they sent!
Later, I fled the capital with Shuanzi and met my cousin.
So we hid in Dashi Village together.
For so many years, I... I have never had a peaceful day in my life, nor have I slept soundly!
This servant…” Qian couldn’t continue.
"Haha! You have never had a peaceful day, and you have never slept soundly. Is it because you harmed my mother and the child in her belly? Do you feel guilty?
You have never had a peaceful day in your life, and you have never slept soundly, because you are afraid of being hunted down!
You are afraid of being punished by God!
You are afraid that you will die a miserable death!"
Leng Rongyue hit the nail on the head when she heard what she was thinking, and Qian lowered her head guiltily.
"Do you know the whereabouts of the nanny named Zhou who assisted you in committing atrocities?" Leng Rongyue asked.
"I know...I know, she...she is no longer alive!"
"What's going on?" Leng Rongyue asked.
"On... on the night when Madam... Madam had a miscarriage, Madam Zhou... she went to the backyard to fetch water and fell into the well... fell into the well and drowned!
At that time... at that time... the old lady said, Madam... Madam... something happened just now, a servant in the mansion fell into the well and drowned again.
It would be unlucky if this were told to anyone.
So, that night, they called Madam Zhou's son to the house, gave him money for burial, and even more, and asked him to take Madam Zhou's body away for burial.
The well in the backyard of Yi'an Hall has been filled up since then."
