Reborn: Revenge of the Concubine's Daughter
Chapter 187 - He Danggui said her last words
Chapter 187 He Danggui said her last words
Luo Chuangu still felt suspicious and queried, “A woman like Biddy Wen could casually be caught in several minutes by me. You, a group of men with weapons failed to catch her from the room to the outside garden. Does anyone believe it?”
It was not strange he was so skeptical this time. He would be 38 years old next year, but the only son of him was bound to be an idiot. So, he would find the murderer at least. To be honest, he would truly like to expect that it was done by his niece He Danggui, instead of his wife Sun Meiniang. The former one was the daughter of his half-blooded Fourth Sister. It was inessential for him that He Danggui was alive or dead. The later one used to be his beloved wife, and he couldn’t leave her now.
Sun Meiniang so was impatient that she would go away right now if Madam Luo were not there. He Danggui was dying now. But she would like to torture He Danggui slowly. So, Sun Meiniang said without interest, “I didn’t join to arrest Biddy Wen. How should I know what means she did to run away? You should go to ask them.” She pointed at the two guards and sneered. She said, “They are eyewitnesses. You should ask them to break the case.”
Luo Chuangu said discontentedly, “They were called to be here by Ding Rong’s wife. You also saw it. The two guards lied all the time and thought they could fool me. I can’t know something from them.” He really wanted to know whether Sun Meiniang harmed his son now. She was broad-minded, wasn’t she? A son of the concubine was also her son. Wouldn’t she want a son?
Sun Meiniang laughed and said, “Hum, since you don’t believe that they told the truth, you can prison them, bind them and torture them to extract confession!”
Madam Luo had a cough and glanced at Sun Meiniang unpleasantly. She said, “Behave yourself, please. There is the guest, many guards and maids here. You’d better know your statues. Do not argue in the public. Look, the lock on Yi hasn’t been taken off!” However, her subtext was another meaning. “Sun Meiniang, what’s your problem today? Chuangu is a man. Whatever you do in your room, in public, you shouldn’t make him lose face!”
Sun Meiniang was suddenly shocked and aware that her behavior was improper. How could she criticize her husband in front of his mother!No matter how silly the son was, his mother would never stop loving him. Hum, because she suddenly thought of He Jingxian, she became furious. And she forgot the order of status from high to low in Luo’s Mansion was Madam Luo, Luo Chuangu and her.
Looking at He Danggui locked by the stone lock, Sun Meiniang disdained He Danggui. After being tortured for 3 years, He Danggui was still alive. Sun Meiniang thought that He Danggui was as tricky as He Jingxian. So, Sun Meiniang was interested in contending with He Danggui. However, He Danggui was so frail that she was dying before Sun Meiniang used up her means. That was too boring.
But He Danggui was a rarely tough girl. Some of Luo Chuangu’s beautiful concubines used to live in the brothel. Their living environment was complex and serpentine. They even couldn’t pass through Sun Meiniang’s means for more than three times. However, He Danggui unbelievably made it. She deserved to be the child of He Jingxian. Especially in the last year, Sun Meiniang tried her best to kill He Danggui, but He Danggui survived every time, as if she got the help of Immortal. It was incredible.
Even though Sun Meiniang was blamed and even doubted by Madam Luo, Sun Meiniang felt so happy, as if she was in a honey jar, when she saw He Danggui who was dying.
Suddenly, He Danggui, who was side-lying on the ground, trembled two times and sat up with the big stone lock. She sat cross-legged on the carpet and apologized, “Excuse me. I was so exhausted just now, so I had a rest. Now I feel better. Madam, I want to say something.”
Madam Luo thought that it was the momentary recovery of consciousness just before death. So, she said anxiously, “You don’t have to do that! Just lie down and go ahead.” It was an unexpected misfortune. If she had known it early, she wouldn’t have asked Yi to put on the lock. And she didn’t expect that the biddy with the key was disappeared.
He Danggui twinkled to Sun Meiniang, who looked unhappy, and lied down. When she glimpsed at Guan Mo in grey, she said, “Second Childe Guan, you are still here.” Before Guan Mo answered, she laughed and said, “I have seen a lot of thick-skinned people, but you can be the top three. I rarely see such a person like you.”
Guan Mo looked gloomy suddenly. Then he said with a smile, “Sister, if you still have energy, save it till the locksmith comes.”
He Danggui shook her head and changed a more comfortable gesture. Then she said slowly, “Madam, I guessed it might be like this. Honestly, I understood it just now. Second Aunt said that with the stone lock, I can think better. Half a year ago, Second Childe wrote a love letter to a Miss. But it happened to be sent to me. Qing’er didn’t know what it was and opened it. She read a few lines, which make Second Childe feel embarrassed. And from that time on, I displeased Second Childe. But I didn’t expect that he is so narrow-minded. He is even a big man. Hum.”
Guan Mo grinned and said, “You spoke too seriously. Did you be bitten by a poisonous insect? Is your brain okay?”
“Just because last month, someone in the academy retold it, which made him remind of the passed hatred.” He Danggui disagreed and shook her head. She said, “The next day, he asked his mom to bring up proposal of marriage. He wants to take vengeance on me by marriage just because of the little thing. I will never get married with such a person. Madam, I hope you can reconsider it. Otherwise, I may lose my life and have no chance to make a kowtow to you after I leave Luo’s Mansion.”
“Really?” Madam Luo asked and frowned. She looked at her granddaughter but could just see the top of Yi’s head. Then she looked at Guan Mo, who was staring at Danggui viciously.
He Danggui nodded seriously and said, “Madam, I dare not to cheat you. Luo’s Family and Guan’s Family have a good relationship for a long time. And Second Childe Guan is the legitimate son of the First Branch of Guan’s Family. I shouldn’t make him lose face. But he isn’t as reasonable as his brother, First Childe Guan. Second Childe Guan is narrow-minded. It was supposed to be none of my business, but I heard that black-faced biddy said that I would die once I was locked by the stone lock. I thought I won’t live any longer, so I said all of this.” Then, she pretended to sob.
Madam Luo blamed, “Do not talk nonsense. You are a little child. I’ll ask someone to unlock it soon. Heal your wounds first. We can talk other things later.”
Guan Mo frowned heavily. He was afraid that He Danggui would tell the thing that his Third Sister Guan Yun was broken off an engagement. After all, it was absolutely a secret in Yangzhou. Duan’s Family didn’t want to be laughed, so they didn’t spread the news. And Guan’s Family was planning to resume the engagement. All the people who knew about this should keep it as a secret. Seeing the act of He Danggui, Guan Mo thought that she might know it. Maybe Duan Xiaolou told her as good news. She should have contact with Duan Xiaolou. Damn, he would never let her tell it out to make Guan’s Family and his Third Sister be laughed.
“Sister He, you’d better think it over before you say.” Guan Mo persuaded her gently, “Even though you lose the faith of being alive, your mom is still here. She cannot lose you. You just talk about yourself. Don’t mention other family affairs.”
He Danggui laughed and said, “Don’t worry. I’m just recalling my life. I lived in the Tao Yao Yard since I was ten years old. It was not filled with too many people. Even nobody took care of the flower. Till last year, new maids were sent to here. It was said that one of them was really idiotic. Second Sister and Fourth Sister could not bear her. And that maid was finally driven to my yard. I looked at her. What a pretty girl. And I find that she can do the work well. Why did they say that she was idiotic?”
Guan Mo looked gloomy. He blamed with a low voice, “What are you talking about? You’d better save your energy until a locksmith comes here.”
He Danggui said continuously, “Since the girl called Shu Qin came to my yard, I could meet Second Childe more frequently. I could meet Second Childe not only in Guan’s Mansion, but also in the garden of Luo’s Mansion. Even when I strolled around the streets, I could meet him. He-he. Second Childe, you are really narrow-minded. You knew what happened today from Shu Qin, right? So, you suddenly came here to make trouble. No matter if I was related to Concubine Hua, you made a crime to me first. The reason was just your private hatred. You are so narrow-minded, Second Childe.”
Guan Mo couldn’t deny that, because he couldn’t say that he wanted to give vent to his sister’s anger on He Danggui. In fact, there were many other ways to deal with He Danggui. But he just wanted to keep his sister’s rival in love around him and torture her. Then, Guan Mo lied, “What? Shu Qin? Who’s that? I have never heard about her. If you don’t believe, you can ask her to confront.”
He Danggui sighed and shook her head. She said, “Sorry, she cannot come because she had something to deal with.”
Guan Mo kept silent with suspicion. He got the letter of Shu Qin and rode over to Luo’s Family quickly. He was faster than He Danggui for one hour, but He Danggui came to the main hall early. During the middle time, he stayed with Shu Qin. He had confirmed that Shu Qin was well. What happened to her? Did He Danggui knew something that he didn’t know?
Guan Mo made a decision to ignore what she said. She must be cheating.
He Danggui suddenly flexed her neck and looked at the Huai Hua at the door. He Danggui smiled and asked, “Huai Hua, how is Shu Qin after she had an abortion? Does she feel better after taking the medicine?”
Huai Hua held a quilt and tightly covered He Danggui on the floor. Huai Hua said angrily, “Miss, don’t mention her. She’s just a bitch. You haven’t given her permission to get married, but she couldn’t stand. She had illicit intercourse with someone and became pregnant! Now she had an abortion. She paid for it. Hum.”
When He Danggui was suddenly covered with warm and fragrance, she semi-closed her eyes comfortably and sighed, “At the beginning, I thought that she was a talent. And I would like to ask her to serve in the room and keep several keys of mine if she didn’t like cleaning the yard. Later, I knew that she got pregnant and started to wear some delicate closes. I thought that she found a man with a good status… Now it seems that I was totally wrong. What a shame. I misconstrue Second Chide Guan. I feel so sorry.”
Huai Hua helped He Danggui to put her hair in order so that she looked refreshed. Huai Hua smiled and asked, “Miss, how will you deal with this disgusting bitch?”
He Danggui said with a strange voice, “Is there any better way than the Rules’ of Luo’s Family? The punishment tools in our Tao Yao Yard haven’t been used after you washed them last time. And that iron chain should be applied with some oil. You see the same one of my Second Aunt’s. How glossy!”
