Chapter 320 She's Dead

Su Dayou originally wanted to attack the more beautiful Lian Mengyi, but was discovered and rescued by Zhang Ruirui.

Lian Mengyi ran away and went to find Yang Fuliu, but unfortunately, after hearing what happened, Yang Fuliu slapped her in the face and locked her in the room, remaining indifferent no matter how Lian Mengyi cried and screamed.

When Yang Fuliu arrived at Su Dayou's place, Zhang Ruirui had been stripped naked and tied to the bed.

When I saw her, I thought I could be saved.

Zhang Ruirui frantically cried to her for help, but all she got in return was Su Dayou telling her to shut her mouth and stop disturbing others.

After saying that, Yang Fuliu closed the door tightly and left.

That night, Zhang Ruirui was tortured to the point of nearly dying, and even Meng Yi, who was locked in the room, cried until his voice was hoarse and his hands were swollen from clapping.

Later, the two escaped from the Su family and wanted to run back to Sanhe Village to ask for help from the Zhang family.

On the way, the two met human traffickers. This time, Lian Mengyi pushed Zhang Ruirui away and let her run first.

Unfortunately, he was finally caught by Su Dayou and his wife who had been waiting not far from the entrance of Sanhe Village.

On that occasion, Zhang Ruirui was dragged by two men to the back mountain of Sanhe Village, where they fed her medicine and called over five young men with the surname Zhang, all of whom were idle on weekdays.

Including the six people from Su Da, Zhang Ruirui was raped again.

With this leverage, Su Dayou once again bribed the head of the Zhang family and the magistrate of Yunan County, and the matter was suppressed.

From then on, Zhang Ruirui became the Su family's exclusive concubine.

There are all kinds of chores to do at home during the day, and at night, there are always men of various kinds who sneak into Su's house and into her room.

Every night Su Dayou and Yang Fuliu could earn a lot of money.

They didn't even plan to look for Meng Yi. Yang Fuliu had wanted to sell her daughter a long time ago, and now that she was lost, it would save them the trouble.

Four years passed like this.

As for Zhang Hui in Sanhe Village, he was also a talkative scoundrel before the flood.

He was talking dirty about Zhang Ruirui to someone by the river, and Zhang Hun heard it.

Zhang Hun was so angry that his eyes turned red and he wanted to fight with that man, but he was beaten up instead.

He threatened to report the incident to the police, and the two frightened men were pushed into the river and drowned.

When the head of the Zhang family found out, he ordered people to bury the body and did not intend to pursue the matter.

Later, a flood broke out. The people who originally buried Zhang Hun's body were lazy and buried it a little shallow, so it was washed out by the flood.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, the head of the Zhang family could only have the body salvaged and report that the person was drowned by the flood.

When Gu Qingyu came to check the body in person, the Zhang family members were frightened.

Fortunately, urgent news came from the capital at that time. Gu Qingyu only took a quick look at Zhang Hun's appearance, had him buried properly, and left.

On the way back to the county, he met Zhang Ruirui who ran away from Su's house and fell into the river because she was worried about her brother, and he rescued her.

At that time, Zhang Ruirui saw that he had an extraordinary demeanor and wanted to ask him for help, but before she could say anything, Gu Qingyu hurried to leave.

In a panic, Zhang Ruirui could only tear off his jade pendant and hide it on her body. Later, she was sent to the clinic by Gu Qingyu's men.

After Su Dayou and Yang Fuliu brought the girl back from the clinic, she was about to be severely beaten, but she deliberately lied and said that an adult had taken a fancy to her. She also took out a jade pendant and said it was a token of love from that adult.

Yang Fuliu naturally didn't believe such nonsense. She had saved Lian Qi in the past, but the man didn't even remember her life-saving grace and simply abandoned her for eighteen years.

She snatched the jade pendant, thinking of keeping it for her future son.

Su Da was different. He was very excited when he saw the jade pendant. He had met the adult from Kyoto before in order to get donations from the rich families in the county.

I heard that he was a marquis. Isn’t this jade pendant the one that the marquis was wearing that day?

Although he was standing at the back at the time, his eyesight was amazing!

By the time he took Zhang Ruirui to look for him, Gu Qingyu had already left and rushed back to Kyoto City.

This behavior made Su Dayou question Zhang Ruirui's words.

That night, Zhang Ruirui was tormented by him while trying to find a way to make up a story, and finally she made him believe her.

Later, the couple took Zhang Ruirui all the way to Kyoto City...

The past was like smoke, floating in Yang Fuliu's mind. Lian Qi's name became clearer and clearer, and his face also overlapped with Qi Yue's appearance.

Something seemed to explode in her brain, leaving her stunned on the spot.

Yes, Lian Qi! Qi Lian!

Qi is the royal surname of Dayi!

She hasn't figured it out in all these ten years?

This means that her daughter might be a princess or a county lady!

Oh my God, why didn't she find her daughter four years ago?

Yang Fuliu suddenly asked fiercely: "Who is Qilian to you..."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Qingyu's face darkened, and Leng Yue slapped her directly, interrupting her words.

Qi Yue was stunned. Could this be her father's name?

She glanced at Gu Qingyu, then turned to look at He Xiang.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Xiao Xiangxiang, is she talking about my father's name?"

He Xiang's expression also became more serious, and she lowered her voice and replied, "Yes, Princess, this is indeed the name of the late emperor."

"You dare to call the late emperor by his name? You are courting death!"

Hearing Gu Qingyu's stern shout, Yang Fuliu laughed instead.

She screamed crazily, but her words were unclear because her face was swollen and bleeding.

"I am like a princess...hahahaha...I am Princess Dayi...then I am the Queen Mother?"

He Xiang scolded: "You are such a cowardly lowly person..."

Qi Yue patted her hands and said slowly: "Yang, the daughter you are talking about is Lian Mengyi, right? I have good news and bad news. Do you want to hear it?"

Yang Fuliu had a look of joy on her face at this time, and she was even more ecstatic after hearing her words.

In an instant, she felt that her status had changed from a lowly commoner to the emperor's woman.

She felt that Qi Yue was just a princess without real power, and had to bow her head and call her Queen Mother in front of her, or at the very least, Concubine Dowager. Anyway, she was noble now!

She pointed at Qi Yue and yelled, "How dare you! I am your father's woman, and after all, you have to call me your mother!"

Qi Yue frowned, and Leng Yue pressed Yang Fuliu's arm hard and twisted it.

After a pig-like squeal, the hand hung down weakly.

Gu Qingyu was emitting anger all over his body, and Qi Yue was afraid that he would get so angry that he would kick someone to death.

"He Xiang, go and slap her twice to vent your anger."

"Yes, Princess."

She couldn't hold it in any longer. Before she could finish her words, she strode forward and swung her arm at him.

Zhang Ruirui, who was standing by, was both shocked and surprised when she heard these words.

She hurried forward and asked, "Your Highness, do you know Xiaoyi? Is Xiaoyi okay?"

"Oh? You know her daughter Lian Mengyi?"

"I know that Xiaoyi..."

After Zhang Ruirui finished her narration, Qi Yue was filled with emotion and could only sigh softly in the end.

"She's dead."
