Marrying a powerful eunuch three times
Chapter 99 Pretending to Suicide
Although Zhou Wenqing was only twelve years old, he was tall and strong. He usually practiced boxing and looked stronger than a boy of fifteen or sixteen.
Aunt Ru didn't care when she saw him come in.
"Brother Qing, why are you here?"
Zhou Qiongchu also wanted to crawl out. She thought that it was the nanny in Murong Feiyue's yard who took her back to set rules.
"Snapped."
Zhou Wenqing slapped him, "You are just a distant relative of the Murong family, and you don't know how to be grateful to the Murong family. You even dared to bite back."
Zhou Wenqing's hands were like iron palms.
A slap in the face caused Aunt Ru to fall to the ground.
She suddenly felt something was wrong.
Her eyes fell on Zhou Qiongchu, and she gently signaled Zhou Qiongchu not to come out.
Zhou Qiongchu covered her mouth.
He lay motionless under the bed.
Zhou Wenqing's feet moved closer and he squatted down.
Aunt Ru was afraid that he would discover Zhou Qiongchu, so she spat out a mouthful of phlegm with all her might. "You are just a lowly concubine's daughter. Who are you doing this for today?"
A sudden idea came to Aunt Ru's mind.
"You are the bastard born from the adultery of Murong Feiyue and Zhou Chengru."
Zhou Wenqing hates it most when people call him a concubine.
He pinched Aunt Ru's neck fiercely and roared in a low voice:
"No... I am the grandson of the Su family. My great-grandfather was a minister, and my uncle was a major general who defended the country and was also a well-known Shaoqing of the Dali Temple."
Aunt Ru knew that she couldn't escape death today.
Her eyes were full of mockery, "Hahaha...your uncle is a drunkard, a cartilaginous worm who lives in the Zhou Mansion."
Zhou Wenqing's heart sank.
He took off his belt and wrapped it around Aunt Ru's neck.
Turn it with force.
Aunt Ru stared at Zhou Qiongchu intently, tears streaming from her eyes. She reached out and shook him gently, perhaps she had said something harsh to Zhou Qiongchu because of the dead fetus.
But after all, she couldn't bear to part with her daughter.
Zhou Qiongchu was trembling with fear.
And he was afraid of being discovered by Zhou Wenqing.
He quietly crawled out from the end of the bed and hid in the closet.
Zhou Wenqing let go of his hand.
Seeing Aunt Ru staring at the bottom of the bed, he couldn't help but look over there in confusion.
Nothing at all.
He stood up.
He found a piece of cloth, dragged Aunt Ru up and hung her on the window sill.
Pretend it's her suicide.
"Bah. I am the eldest son. Your daughter is a lowly concubine's daughter. Let me show you how I will kill her." Zhou Wenqing dusted himself off and carefully checked the things in the room.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on a toy.
It was a rabbit so dirty that its color could not be seen. Zhou Wenqing picked it up and knew it belonged to Zhou Qiongchu.
"Chu Jie'er. Are you playing hide-and-seek?"
Zhou Qiongchu didn't dare make any sound, for fear of being discovered by Zhou Wenqing.
"Brother and Aunt Ru are playing games. Do you want to join in?" Zhou Wenqing opened the closet door while speaking.
"Sister Chu."
"Boom."
There was movement outside.
Zhou Wenqing's face darkened and he quickly closed the closet door.
Came to the door.
"Who?"
He walked over and saw that a black cat had knocked over the flower pot.
Zhou Wenqing was young after all, so he tried to calm himself down. He returned to the inner room and searched the closet again, but he didn't find Zhou Qiongchu when he opened it.
He took a look at the rabbit in his hand and left with it.
Zhou Qiongchu stumbled and ran in the garden.
She just wanted to come to Chuitangyuan.
Thinking of Aunt Ru's tears, Zhou Qiongchu retreated again.
The little girl huddled in a corner of the garden.
She is afraid...
Zhou Wenqing first went to the vicinity of Chuitang Courtyard and watched for a long time but did not see Zhou Qiongchu coming.
He glanced at the rabbit in his hand.
Could it be that she was not in Ruyuan at that time?
Forget it.
Or should I go to Zhou Wenyi to discuss what to do?
Zhou Wenqing grabbed the rabbit and left.
Su Rutang, Xia An and Qiu Ling left Chuitang Courtyard.
Xia An looked at her distressedly, "Second Madam, you won't be asked to take charge of the household affairs again, will you?"
"I will be scared tonight, and if I don't feel well tomorrow, I'll call a doctor. Of course, I can't be the housekeeper." Su Rutang didn't want to pay for the dowry. She had already fallen out with Zhou Chengru, so she had to be decisive about the fallout.
The three of them tried to avoid the people from Zhou Mansion today.
We took a small path that few people usually walked on and arrived near the Aquarius Gate.
Su Rutang moved his ears.
"Who's crying?"
Xia An listened carefully and said, "It seems to be Sister Chu."
Su Rutang gave a look and Xia An hurried over.
Zhou Qiongchu was shivering with her body soaked, her head was covered with sweat, her eyes were dull and she couldn't control her tears.
"Sister Chu. What's wrong with you?"
Su Rutang hurried forward to take a look, and she immediately felt something was wrong. She was afraid that Aunt Ru had been murdered, but she didn't know who was so impatient.
"Xia An. Carry her to Lanxiangyuan."
"Yes." Xia An hugged him.
Su Rutang took off his cloak and put it on Zhou Qiongchu, "Don't let others see it."
Qiu Ling remembered what the old woman had said before.
"Second Madam. The maid guarding the gate just now said that Qing'er was wandering around our Chuitang Courtyard. He was hiding in a very secret place. He seemed to not want to be discovered. He was holding a doll in his hand."
Zhou Qiongchu seemed to hear the three words Zhou Wenqing.
I shivered unconsciously.
His upper and lower teeth were chattering.
Su Rutang couldn't bear to see Zhou Qiongchu fall to Zhou Wenqing's murderous hands, so he took her to Lanxiangyuan.
Cheyenne wrapped in a cape.
Everyone in Lanxiangyuan is Song Huaiyan's close friend. It has to be said that as long as Song Huaiyan is no longer obsessed with Zhou Chengru, her IQ is definitely online.
It was easy to get rid of those bribed servants in Lanxiangyuan.
In addition to her theory that everyone is equal and that if you want a horse to run fast, you have to let it eat good grass, most of the servants in Lanxiangyuan are loyal.
Su Rutang didn't know that Song Huaiyan learned this generosity from Su Rutang.
Wu'er came forward to greet him.
"Second Madam, our aunt was just wondering why you haven't come yet." Wu'er ran back and forth several times and told Song Huaiyan the gossip he had heard.
Song Huaiyan, a spectator, came online and was wishing Su Rutang would come over sooner.
Su Rutang entered.
Xia An then lifted up the cloak that was wrapped around him.
Wu Er was startled, "Isn't this Sister Chu?"
"Shh. Don't let people outside know that Sister Chu is here." Xia An hurriedly instructed Wu'er and asked Wu'er to prepare water.
Give Zhou Qiongchu a bath.
"Fortunately, there are Miss Taohua's clothes in Chuitang Courtyard. I'll go get a set first." Xia An was worried about others going there, and she was always cautious in doing things.
"Go ahead." Su Rutang went into the inner room.
Song Huaiyan has been much better these two days.
Her face was no longer pale, and her gossipy eyes were shining. "Second Madam, is there really a forbidden love between the widowed sister-in-law and the brother-in-law in the Zhou family ancestral hall?"
Su Rutang: “…”
"Where do you get all these twisted ideas from?"
"Hey, don't worry about it. I just heard a few words and no one finished speaking. I must be scratching my head and feeling uncomfortable."
Su Rutang sat down beside the bed.
I looked at the unfinished soup on the table next to her.
"You should eat more. Your body is your own. Only when you are in good health can you make other plans."
Song Huaiyan took a pillow and placed it under his head, then sat up half-leaning.
"I don't want to see Zhou Chengru's face. Now I can't go out, so I might as well keep him like this." Song Huaiyan wanted to make a big splash, but the evil ancient times broke a woman's wings.
She couldn't even start her own business.
If your parents won’t give it to you, your husband is a heartless beast.
"Take care of your health first."
"I understand. Tell me what happened today." Song Huaiyan just wanted to hear the story.
Su Rutang told her everything in detail.
She even revealed her suspicion that Aunt Ru had been victimized by Zhou Wenqing.
Song Huaiyan was frightened.
"He, he... is only twelve years old." In modern times, that's not right. There are such children in modern times.
She was completely silent.
We really can't underestimate the ancients. Those who were trained in wealthy and powerful families seem to be very ruthless.
The two talked for a while.
The evening meal was delivered, all prepared in the small kitchen of Chuitang Courtyard. The two of them ate in the inner room.
Wait until after dinner.
Xia An brought Qiong Chu in.
As soon as she saw Su Rutang, she burst into tears and hid in Su Rutang's arms in panic.
Su Rutang felt uncomfortable for a moment.
In his previous life, he was very sincere to Zhou Qiongchu, but how did she repay him?
Her face turned pale, "Qiong Chu. Aunt Ru is dead?"
Zhou Qiongchu opened his mouth.
A voice came from outside, "Second Madam, someone from Rong Xi Hall came and said that Aunt Ru committed suicide out of fear of punishment. She hanged herself on the window sill."
Su Rutang carried Qiong Chu away.
"Huai Yan, leave her with you first. Don't let Zhou Chengru find out."
"Okay. Go and get busy." After chatting with Su Rutang, Song Huaiyan was revived with full health.
If there are ways to make money, being a man is nothing.
