Chapter 128: Being Caught on the Spot, Reborn From the Dead
It was almost midnight, and the entire Yanglinghou Mansion fell into silence. Only the faint footsteps of the two people could be heard.
As she got closer and closer to Dry Well, Qiu Rui couldn't help but swallow her saliva, "Miss, are we really...going to go?"
Lin Xuefu glanced at her coldly, "What if I don't go? Do I just sit back and wait to become the next aunt?"
Qiu Rui suddenly didn't dare to speak. She could tell that Lin Xuefu was already angry.
The master and the servant avoided the guards who were watching the night and went into the dense woods. They tried their best to suppress the movement to a minimum, for fear of attracting the attention of the guards who were watching the night.
While walking, she stepped on the dry leaves, which made a slight crisp sound. Qiu Rui was so scared that she clenched the basket tightly to prevent herself from screaming.
Lin Xuefu looked calm on her face, but in fact, she was no less panicked than Qiu Rui. She was not only afraid of ghosts, but also snakes. The bite she received last time left a shadow on her to this day.
Fortunately, despite being frightened along the way, we managed to reach the dry well.
Lin Xuefu's legs were so scared that she looked particularly smooth when she knelt down.
Leaving Qiu Rui to watch, Lin Xuefu took out a fire stick from the basket and blew it, then took out two pieces of paper money to light. While burning, she muttered: "Qing Ling, I know that you died aggrieved, but don't blame me. , we all can't help ourselves. You want to climb into your cousin's bed and get rid of your status as a slave and become a concubine. I also want to become my cousin's favorite and enjoy the exclusive honor and favor. It is difficult for us to coexist, not to mention that you have If you have a child, even if I don't do anything to you, I won't let you go after Shen Qing gets married.
I'll burn some more paper money for you so that you can live better down there, and I'll help you take care of your parents at home. Can we settle the matter?
As for your bones, I will ask Master Zhang to find a geomantic treasure land for you in a few days and bury you in a grand manner.
When I climb up to the position of young lady of Yanglinghou Mansion, I will have the power in my hands, and I will definitely not treat you badly, okay? "
After her words fell, Lin Xuefu vaguely felt a cool breeze blowing on her face. Suppressing the fear that was about to explode in her heart, Lin Xuefu trembled and said: "Qingling, I beg you, please let me go."
At this moment, a strong wind blew by, and the small fire in front of him was extinguished instantly.
Lin Xuefu's heart skipped a beat. With the faint moonlight, Lin Xuefu saw the dark mouth of the well, as if something would come out of it in the next moment.
Suddenly, Lin Xuefu saw a black shadow emerging not far away, and was so frightened that she immediately screamed: "Ah - there is a ghost!"
Lin Xuefu stood up and wanted to run, but her legs were so paralyzed that she could only keep moving backwards.
Hearing Lin Xuefu's heart-rending screams, Qiu Rui, who was already frightened, felt her heart suddenly lift into her throat. She left Lin Xuefu and turned around to run away, but as soon as she turned around, she saw a large area behind her. of fire.
Qiu Rui was startled, not caring about being discovered, and ran towards the firelight. She clearly caught a glimpse of the person's face. Qiu Rui's face instantly turned pale. It turned out to be... Mu Ziqian!
On the other side, Lin Xuefu was still retreating desperately when she heard a familiar voice from behind, "Lin Xuefu, why are you doing this?"
The frightened Lin Xuefu suddenly came to her senses, turned her head, and saw Mu Ziqian looking at her with a disappointed face, and the heartache in his eyes stung her eyes.
Something suddenly exploded in Lin Xuefu's mind - she had fallen into a trap!
…
The third watch has passed, but the entire Hongyan Hall is brightly lit.
Mu Ziqian sat on the soft couch with a cold face, while Lin Xuefu collapsed on the ground, her face full of defeat.
What she still doesn't understand now is that Master Zhang, the demon-slaying master, is clearly a liar who set a trap for her!
And Lin Xuefu also knew that it was absolutely impossible for Mu Ziqian to come up with such a meticulous plan, but the result was no different. She exposed her true face in front of Mu Ziqian, and Mu Ziqian was extremely disappointed in her.
"Lin Xuefu, why do you want to kill Qingling? She is even pregnant with my child!"
Qingling, like Qingzhi, used to be the maid who served Mu Ziqian personally, and was also Mu Ziqian's real and unofficial maid in the mansion.
Seeing that Lin Xuefu didn't speak, the anger in Mu Ziqian's eyes became more intense, "Master Zhang found three corpses from the dry well today, one is Qingling, who are the other two? There are also Qingzhi, right?
Lin Xuefu, that’s human life!
Normally you wouldn't even trample ants to death, but you dare to kill even people where I can't see them!
Lin Xuefu, tell me what else you are hiding from me! "
Mu Ziqian couldn't accept it. The delicate cousin he had cared about for many years could do such a cruel thing behind his back.
Lin Xuefu murmured for a long time before she spoke: "Cousin, as you can see, I did what happened to Qing Ling, because I couldn't bear to see that she and you were inseparable, let alone that she gave birth to your child before me. "My child, the other two bones really have nothing to do with me."
Mu Ziqian didn't believe it, Lin Xuefu dared to attack the pregnant Qingling, let alone Qingzhi.
Lin Xuefu had obviously guessed what Mu Ziqian was thinking, and smiled bitterly: "Cousin, whether you believe it or not, I will tell you this."
After he finished speaking, grief flowed in his eyes, "Speaking of which, my cousin is also to blame for me becoming like this. He clearly promised that he would only love me, and that he would marry me as his wife. But my cousin But he broke his promise again and again.
First, the girls in the same courtyard had sex with each other one after another, and then they married another daughter-in-law of the Yining Hou Mansion. Cousin, if you can't do it, why do you still agree to it?
Do you know that your repeated unfaithfulness has pushed me step by step into the abyss of despair? "
Speaking of this, Lin Xuefu scoffed: "That's all, let alone you, even I hate myself now.
Now that my cousin has seen my unbearable true face, he should never see me again and let me live the rest of my life alone in Fuyun Pavilion. "
After saying that, Lin Xuefu struggled to get up and walked toward the door in despair.
Looking at Lin Xuefu's thin back, Mu Ziqian's eyes showed a trace of unbearability. However, because the stimulation he received tonight was too great, Mu Ziqian still could not speak and leave Lin Xuefu.
Lin Xuefu staggered and disappeared from Mu Ziqian's sight step by step, and finally disappeared into the dark night.
It wasn't until there was no one around that the sad expression on Lin Xuefu's face disappeared, and then became filled with deep resentment and unwillingness.
She raised her head and glanced in the direction of Tinglan Courtyard. Lin Xuefu dug her fingernails into her palms and said bitterly: "Shen Qing, I won't let you go!"
The moment she was brought to Qifutang by Mu Ziqian, Lin Xuefu figured out that all of this was Shen Qing's handiwork.
However, Mu Ziqian caught her while worshiping Qing Ling. Nothing she could say at the moment would help. She could only temporarily admit these sins, but only temporarily.
As for how to turn around in the future, Lin Xuefu has already thought about it.
At this point, she could only sacrifice Madam Yanglinghou.
…
The next day, just after dawn, a breaking news spread throughout the Yanglinghou Mansion - Lin Xuefu had hanged herself.
