Reborn: Revenge of the Concubine's Daughter

Chapter 185 Life and death agreement was broken

Although both Luo Chuangu and Madam Luo understood that Sun Meiniang got tired of He Danggui and often embarrassed her, they never formally denounced or corrected Sun Meiniang’s behavior.

Seeing that He Danggui was able to survive in Sun Meiniang’s various pitfalls, Luo Chuangu and Madam Luo were slightly surprised. Sun Meiniang was in charge of Luo’ Family’s fortunes and could almost decide the life and death of others whose status were lower than her. At the same time, they subconsciously thought that He Danggui must hate Sun Meiniang and want to grasp for an opportunity to retaliate against her. After all, Sun Meiniang only aimed at her and couldn’t get along well with her only.

In fact, Sun Meiniang should be the one who did wrong. As an elder, she often intolerantly bullied a little girl. However, once a dispute arose, Luo Chuangu still supported Sun Meiniang every time, and Madam Luo still believed in her daughter-in-law Sun Meiniang. Therefore, even He Danggui had to sigh that Sun Meiniang had such good relations with people!

This time, when Concubine Hua bled abnormally, Madam Luo and Luo Chuangu listened to Concubine Hua’s testimony and the testimony of several maids who “happened to witness”. Besides, they saw the evidence that Sun Meiniang searched. Madam Luo and Luo Chuangu believed that He Danggui should be the murderer. The motive was mainly to revenge for Sun Meiniang’s consistent “special care” and to prevent the Second Branch from having a successor. Secondly, she had a quarrel with Concubine Hua... Of course, no one would tell the first motive stupidly. After Sun Meiniang’s perfect guidance, Madam Luo and others gradually believed in such a logic that He Danggui turned her anger from Sun Meiniang to all of the Second Branch. Therefore, her aim was Concubine Hua, the most valuable and weak people in the Second Branch!

Now things have changed. Before a woman with black face “died”, she said that Ding Rong’s wife wanted to murder her to prevent divulgence of the secrets. Before that, she said that Sun Meiniang would crush He Danggui with a stone lock, so that He Danggui could not overturn the facts. As the saying went, when people were dying, what they said were sincere and kind. Since she was hunted down by the group of servants, what she said were also more credible.

Thinking of today, Sun Meiniang had been keen to guide the search for the truth. She was so serious to help Concubine Hua find the murderer. Luo Chuangu was the first one who felt that the whole thing was weird. As everyone known, Sun Meiniang was very jealous of his concubines. She had a detailed record about when he entered which concubine’s room, and how long he slept here. In addition, what he ate and what he did were recorded. Even if he only went to take a nap at noon, she would also record it. If he went into a concubine’s room too often, Sun Meiniang would go to talk to that concubine.

Because Concubine Hua’s delicate and snow-white hands fascinated Luo Chuangu, the number of times he went to her room was almost equal to that of Sun Meiniang’s. In addition, Concubine Hua was pregnant with a precious boy for the first time. This was a good thing for Luo’s Family. At the beginning, when Sun Meiniang knew that Concubine Hua was so lucky, her jealous made Luo Chuangu suffer a lot. He comforted her for a few days and swore that he would not change his mind. Then, Sun Meiniang was a little bit better.

Today, Concubine Hua bled. Why was Sun Meiniang so keen to help find the murderer? After finding the “murderer” He Danggui, why did Sun Meiniang often interrupt He Danggui’s self-defense and immediately press her with a hundred jin lock? If what the black faced woman said was true, why did Sun Meiniang decide to kill He Danggui, so that He Danggui could not speak at all? Did Sun Meiniang mean...?

When Luo Chuangu thought of this, his expression was a bit gloomy. There were a pair of eyes lacking of vitality on his white fat face, leaving an offish impression, as if two black holes cut out of a piece of white paper. Luo Chuangu opened his eyes and asked Zhong Qi, the guard in the hall, “Where is the Biddy Wen? Whether she is dead or alive, you must find her. Even if you accidentally kill that woman, you must drag her corpse to show us.”

Zhong Qi opened his mouth but didn’t know how to answer. He looked at Ding Rong’s wife. Ding Rong’s wife regretted that she didn’t confront the Biddy Wen at the first time. When she saw Zhong Qi looking at her, she said angrily, “Why are you looking at me? The Second Lord is asking you. You may as well answer truthfully right away!”

So, Zhong Qi bowed down and said, “I dare not deceive you, Second Lord. The woman has indeed run away without trace. I can’t catch up with her!”

Seeing this, Madam Luo was very depressed again. Well, the Second Lord of Luo’s family asked the servant, should he answer after the approval of Ding Rong’s wife? Sun Meiniang was a little nervous. Damn, Madam Luo was very serious about it. Once Madam Luo thought that there was a flaw on Ding Rong’s wife, Madam Luo would focus on many flaws after repeated observation. The normal behavior in the past now was offensive! Damn it, why was there such a nonsense Biddy Wen today?!

Luo Chuangu sneered and said, “Twenty or thirty macho men with kung fu and swords in your hands chased an old woman with little feet. We all heard the old woman shouting ‘last words’, but you said that she was ‘running without trace’. How can we believe that? Even if she was a four-legged toad, she wouldn’t be faster than you, would she?”

Zhong Qi hesitated and couldn’t answer. He was ordered to guard the main hall door. As long as the Third Miss ran out with Master Guan hand in hand, he would run up and cut the Third Miss several times without hesitation. He got a reward of one hundred liang for each cut. Therefore, Zhong Qi kept his eyes on the main gate and never pursued the strange old woman.

Another macho man next to Zhong Qi took part in the chase, but he never went into the inner hall to talk to the master and didn’t know the etiquette. Before the master asked him, he spoke in a loud voice, “No matter how many people we are, no one can catch up with the old woman. What’s the use of having more people? In my opinion, the old woman has the best lightness skill. She was stop-and-go running, and sometimes stopped to tie her belt. But she still often runs away from our swords. It is obvious that she is playing a trick on us!”

Luo Chuangu didn’t believe it, but the possibility that he guessed became more and more pellucid. Sun Meiniang wanted to kill Biddy Wen and He Danggui to keep silence. Because one told her secret, and the other was her scapegoat. The people who attacked Concubine Hua and her children was not others, but Sun Meiniang!

“Splat!”

Luo Chuangu threw the tea cup on the ground. He smacked the table and said angrily, “Ha! The biddy has lightness skill? She played tricks on you? In fact, you are playing tricks on us! The guards in the mansion are usually very useful. How can you become so incompetent today? A woman who takes out excrement has martial arts, ha! When did my Luo’s Family not give full play to the talents of others? You think we’re stupid enough for you to fool around!”

The guard was an idiot. He straightened his neck and said, “Why do I cheat you? The biddy is very hateful. She also brought a bag of smelly manure, which was scattered everywhere. We got it with full feet, and we couldn’t catch up with her when we slipped! Look!” While saying, he showed a piece of khaki sole in public.

Sun Meiniang realized her husband, who always supported her and had been loyal to her, paid special attention to the matter of Biddy Wen. Obviously, he wanted to confront with Biddy Wen, proving that He Danggui should be wronged. If He Danggui got rid of the accusation, Sun Meiniang would become the first suspect who tried to get He Danggui wrong. Sun Meiniang was angry and thought in her heart, “Luo Chuangu, you’re cowardly at ordinary times and does nothing seriously. Now you pretend to be a real man unexpectedly!”

At this time, Shi Liu suddenly reminded with crisp voice, “Madam Luo, Third Miss still wears this thing! Biddy Wen and the key disappeared together. What about Third Miss?”

Madam Luo thought back how Ding Rong’s wife broke the rules in the past. The more she thought, the more frightened she was. At the moment, she glanced at Yi, who couldn’t suffer the pain in the hall and even fell to the ground with the stone lock! Yi was soaked in blood, as if she had just been pulled out of the blood pool, which was shocking!

Madam Luo trembled and pointed to the maids around her and said, “Remove the lock now!”

Several maids looked at each other, and Li Jiuguang’s wife stammered, “I accidentally flashed my waist yesterday. Now I can’t do anything. Isn’t Childe Guan willing to help...” Then she looked at Guan Mo and pleaded in a low voice, “You are capable, and you love our Third Miss. Please remove the lock!”

Guan Mo was so angry just now that he was about to show the Ba Huang Evil Energy, which he practiced secretly. When he circled the energy, there would be a crystal ball in his hand. Fortunately, there were no martial artist and nobody here could recognize, so this episode was missed. Did he want to show the Ba Huang Evil Energy, which he practiced secretly for 6 years? Was there anyone or anything worth paying so much to reveal his secret?

Now, Guan Mo’s black hair was around his shoulders, and his arms were in front of his chest. He looked down at the lock and the beautiful girl in red lying on the ground. He slightly adjusted his stance, as if he wanted to do something. He whispered to the beauty, “If you are willing to be my concubine and apologize to me for what you said just now, I will remove the lock, and let bygones be bygones. Then I forget the unpleasant things that happened before and treat you well, OK?” It couldn’t be true. As for her, who was hard to deal with, he couldn’t wait to grind her into powder at where nobody was.

He Danggui raised her eyes that looked like jewels and looked at Guan Mo’s evil eyes. Then, with full of ridicule in her eyes, she muttered, “You’re dreaming.”

Guan Mo immediately became angry. How dare she be so arrogant when she was dying? How long could she have a contest like this with him? Since her parents weren’t around, she was uncultured and lacked the common sense that a woman should have. She was the beauty that he had been thinking about for half a year but was unable to get, so he would give her a chance again.

After taking a deep breath and slowly expiring, Guan Mo whispered again, “As long as you agree, I will save you immediately. Should you pledge to marry me in return? If you think that concubine is in low status, I will try to let you be the top. If you are not satisfied with me and think that I can’t keep up with Meng Xuan and others, it’s just because you don’t know me well...” Guan Mo’s voice suddenly became dumb, which was more ambiguous than the splendor of the sunset. He said, “I’m sure you can’t leave me for a moment when we get together.”

He Danggui even didn’t raise her eyelids this time as well as her lips, but her words could be heard clearly, “Guan Mo, you make me feel sick. Stand away.” Tomorrow she must remind Qing’er of staying away from this scumbag in Guan’s Mansion.

There was murderous desire showing in Guan Mo’s eyes. If there were no people here, he would like to strangle the girl immediately, as if he uprooted this beautiful but not lovely blue flower, and then destroyed it completely. After a pause, he half bent down and said with repressed words, “Do you really want to die, He Danggui? Or is it because you had a miserable life in Luo’s Mansion, which makes you feel that you lose hope? Don’t worry. Even if you die, I will take good care of your corpse and recover every tear of my Third Sister because of your hurt. I won’t let you die so easily.”

He Danggui turned her neck and replied succinctly, “Go away.”

Guan Mo was very angry and laughed. Suddenly he circled energy in his palm and set his palm as a knife. The next moment, his palm was next to He Danggui’s ear. Anyway, she would die soon because of the poisonous stone lock. In this case, it was better to let her die under his palm. And she could ask him for her life in the next life, so that they could continue to settle the accounts that have not been settled in this life!
