Lin Dongxing went drinking and having fun with some of his friends today. Aunt Gu was waiting boredly in the room for him to come back. When she heard that Mrs. Zhao was coming, she couldn't help but wonder, "What is she doing here?"
The girl shook her head: "I don't know, he is standing in the yard."
Aunt Gu chuckled, "Could she be asking for something from me? Then let her stand outside!"
The girl flattered her: "Auntie, please use this lotus seed soup first to avoid it getting cold in a while."
Aunt Gu didn't want to eat at first, but now she felt in the mood. She picked up a small bowl and ate slowly. However, the bottom of the bowl of lotus seed soup was all gone, and there was no movement from the Zhao family outside.
"Where's the person? He's gone, right?"
After hearing this, the girl went out to take a look and shook her head, "No, it's still there."
Aunt Gu frowned, "What are you doing, silently, who are you trying to scare!"
I thought it was interesting just now, but now I just feel weird, "Let's go out and see what she is up to!"
Aunt Gu walked out of the house with three twists and turns. She saw Ms. Zhao dressed very plainly, standing by the well with her back to her. There were no lights around, only the lantern she was holding gave off a faint yellow light. The person and the lantern Caught in the shadow of the wall, the darkness is a bit seeping.
Aunt Gu paused for a moment, and then she was filled with anger. She felt that the other party was deliberately pretending to be a ghost. She strode up behind Zhao and said, "Madam, you don't think your life is hopeless, so you want to dance in my yard." Commit suicide!"
What she said was vicious, but Mrs. Zhao seemed not to hear it, not even a word.
Aunt Gu was a little annoyed and angry. She walked up to Mrs. Zhao in three steps and asked again: "Madam, what are you doing in my yard in the middle of the night?"
Mrs. Zhao then turned around, looked at her and said, "I came to see an old friend."
"Old friend?" Aunt Gu sneered, "I can't be called my wife's old friend."
Zhao curled her lips and said, "The old friend I'm talking about is not you."
Aunt Gu was confused, "Humph, you are not talking about the master, are you? If the wife wants to see the master, I will intercede for the wife and let the master see you, and the wife does not have to come here in the middle of the night to play tricks."
Zhao shook her head, "The old friend I'm talking about is Lin Dongxing's first concubine down there."
Mrs. Zhao glanced at the dark mouth of the well, and Aunt Gu subconsciously looked down.
The night sky that had been clear just a moment ago was suddenly shrouded in gray clouds, and the spring cold swept across the entire world in an instant. Gu's thin shirt was blown by the wind, and her sleeves were rolled up, revealing her plain white wrists.
She shuddered hard and was about to retreat when Madam Zhao laughed sinisterly, and the dagger hidden in her sleeve suddenly pierced Aunt Gu's heart!
Aunt Gu was originally prepared for Zhao to push her into the well, but she didn't expect that the other party stabbed her with a knife. It didn't matter for a moment, Zhao stabbed her through the well.
The two girls serving Aunt Gu immediately screamed and ran out to call for help. Mrs. Zhao ignored her at all. She calmly pulled out the dagger and stabbed her a few more times, then shrugged Aunt Gu's body and let her go. He fell towards the wellhead.
There was a "pop", water splashed everywhere, and then it died.
Mrs. Zhao had no expression on her face, wiped the blood splattered on her cheek with a handkerchief, and left Aunt Gu's yard indifferently, leaving behind a group of stunned and frightened servants.
The girl who went out to report the news turned around in confusion before she remembered that the second master had not come back yet, so she had to report the matter to the eldest lady.
When Mrs. Qiao heard that Mrs. Zhao had killed Lin Dongxing's concubine, she felt bad, got up, put on her clothes and went to the second room.
When they arrived at the main courtyard of the second room, Mrs. Zhao had already changed her clothes and washed herself again. When she saw Mrs. Qiao, she smiled very calmly and said, "Sister-in-law came here late at night, what can I do?"
"Girl, go and report that you killed Aunt Gu."
"Ms. Gu has been disrespectful to me many times. My sister-in-law must have heard about it. I dealt with her. Is there anything wrong with her?"
Qiao Shi frowned.
It is not uncommon for concubines to be beaten to death by beating them with dozens of boards. This is indeed no different from killing with one knife, but Zhao's method is too shocking.
There are more people.
"Having said that, you should restrain yourself. Killing people with a knife is too much. It's not good to spread the news."
Zhao didn't take it seriously, "Ha...I've reached this point, am I still worried about how it will be spread outside?"
Mr. Qiao felt that he was talking to a chicken and a duck, and couldn't explain it at all.
After all, it is the second wife's own business to deal with the concubine. She stood up and said, "Then the second brother and sister can take care of themselves."
When Aunt Gu saw the eldest lady coming and leaving, she knew that Aunt Gu was afraid that her death would be in vain, so she didn't dare to cause any more trouble, so she hurried away.
I’m afraid we’ll have to wait until the second master comes back to explain this matter!
However, the second master and the second wife have fallen out with each other a long time ago. Unless the second master divorces the second wife with a divorce letter, how else can he treat her? You can't kill her too, right?
Later in the night.
Lin Dongxing, the second master of Lin, came back drunk. He was about to tell his concubine about the interesting things that happened today. Unexpectedly, when he entered the yard, he saw a female corpse lying by the mouth of the well. Her eyes were wide open, against the background of the well. His face turned blue from the cold water, just like the water ghost in the storybook.
Lin Dongxing's fluttering soul returned to his place instantly!
"What...what's going on? Did Aunt Gu fall into the well and drown?"
The girl said in fear: "Sir, my aunt didn't fall into the well. She was killed by my wife with a knife and pushed into the well...".
"What? You, you, you, what did you say?"
Lin Dongxing thought he had heard wrongly, so he picked his ears hard.
The girl cried: "All the slaves saw with their own eyes that the wife took a dagger and stabbed it into my aunt's heart mercilessly. My aunt couldn't escape, and she stabbed her several times..."
Lin Dongxing's head exploded, "Zhao! Zhao actually blatantly killed people in the house? What an evil woman! Where is this evil woman?"
"My wife went back to the main courtyard and asked the slaves to dispose of Aunt Gu's body...the slaves did not dare to act rashly, so they had to wait for the master to come back..."
Lin Dongxing was a little confused, "Is Madam Zhao crazy? Madam Zhao, this crazy woman..." Will she also kill me?
One moment he wanted to rush towards the main courtyard, but the next moment he stopped and stumbled forward and fell!
The servants were shocked and rushed to help, "Master! Master, are you okay?"
"Dive her! I'm going to divorce her!"
Lin Dongxing muttered and got up!
Now apart from divorcing her, there is nothing else that can cure her!
Lin Dongxing doesn't want to have a lunatic in his house who is always ready to kill people with knives!
When Mrs. Zhao heard that Lin Dongxing was going to write a letter of divorce, her eyes lit up!
What she wants is a letter of divorce!
She didn't want to hide around under Mrs. Lin's name for the rest of her life.
If she wants to leave the Lin Mansion openly, she must get the divorce letter!
