Chapter 7 Chapter 7 The Real Murderer
Nara was stubborn and narrow-minded, so it was no wonder that she could not tolerate Lin Shu as a maidservant in her dowry.
Lin Shu must have had a deep grudge against Nara, which is why she scolded her master Nara in front of everyone yesterday, belittling her as worthless.
Yinzhen increasingly denied the speculation that Lin Shu was a member of the Nara clan.
The vicious and unscrupulous Nara clan described by Lin Shu is indeed consistent with Nara clan's usual domineering and cruel style of doing things.
There is no way that Nara could have such a wise mind.
Otherwise, her reputation as a stupid, vicious, fool and evil woman would not be known to everyone in the city.
Yinzhen was furious about the marriage that Khan had arranged, but he could do nothing about it.
He used the Imperial Observatory to fabricate lies to delay the wedding, but now he has no reason to postpone the wedding.
The coldness in his eyes grew stronger. If Nara was still alive in August next year, no matter how much he hated her, he would have to swallow his nausea and marry her as his principal wife.
When he was distracted, he felt a long and cold object crawling on the back of his hand. Yinzhen frowned, but without changing his expression, he threw the centipede that had crawled to his sleeve to the ground.
Nara's manor was so shabby, dark and narrow, just as disgusting as she was. He was so disgusted that he didn't even want to take a closer look.
The grey walls were streaked with wet black cement stains. When one tilted his head back on the bed, one could even absurdly see sparse starry skies seeping through the corrugated tiles.
He had no choice but to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.
This dilapidated manor is as miserable as its owner.
Cicadas are chirping in the summer, smoke from cooking fires is intermittent, and the simple kitchen is too hot to stay in.
Chu Xian escaped from the kitchen sweating and sat by the well in the yard to cool off.
Dense mosquitoes hovered over the head, buzzing non-stop, and flew into people's faces recklessly. The ferocious mosquitoes kept drilling into the gaps in the neck.
The swarms of small gnats and insects would fly into my eyes from time to time, and a pungent and sour taste would surge from the corners of my eyes, making my nose feel sore.
The master and his two servants waved their palm-leaf fans frantically and slapped their hands desperately. Suddenly, pustular and scarlet pools appeared on their palms, which made their scalps numb.
Chu Xian couldn't stand it any longer, so she picked up a hoe and went to the weeds in the backyard to search for mosquito-repellent mugwort.
Mosquitoes hate smoke, so they will die if you fumigate them with mugwort.
The northwest corner of the village was overgrown with weeds. Sui Qingna murmured in surprise, "Why are the weeds here so much thicker than elsewhere?"
Chu Xian was also surprised when she heard this. The weeds here grew much taller than elsewhere, and were extremely prominent, even taller than the southeast side where there was plenty of sunlight.
She gripped the hoe tightly, pushed aside the weeds, and suddenly saw the dark brown and black soil. She was so shocked that she stepped back.
"Look, there's a watermelon as big as a washbasin in the bushes!"
Sui Qing rushed forward happily, but was pulled back by Xianrong with a smile.
"Stupid Suiqing, that's shit melon, you can't eat it." Xianrong covered her mouth and reminded with a smile.
The so-called watermelon diarrhea means that when a person swallows a watermelon containing seeds, the seeds cannot be digested and will be excreted intact from the body, take root and sprout, and grow into a watermelon.
Sui Qing didn't care, and went to pick the melons with a smile on her face.
"Why can't you eat poop melons? Most wild fruits in the mountains germinate from seeds carried in bird and animal droppings. The watermelons in the melon fields are composted with manure. They're all manure, so how can there be any distinction between good and bad, expensive or cheap?"
"I'll cool it down with well water before eating it. Don't be greedy."
"Suiqing, come back, that's not a shit melon, it's a corpse melon."
Chu Xian swung the hoe to turn the soil. There was a crisp click, and the hoe indeed touched something hard and brittle.
The three of them looked in the direction of the sound and saw half of a creepy white skull emerging from the dark red soil.
Chu Xian bravely continued digging.
A random hoe or hoe could bring out several scattered skeletons. A total of twenty-one skeletons of various sizes were dug out.
Chu Xian was furious. The damn Bao Sanchun actually used her farm as a mass grave to hide corpses!
"Lin Shu, these skeletons are all young women, ranging in age from eleven to twenty. The oldest died seven or eight years ago, while the youngest died seven or eight days ago."
"They all suffered inhuman torture before their deaths."
Sui Qing arranged the twenty-one skeletons neatly, unable to bear looking at the numerous bone fractures on the skeletons.
"How many victims died within three years?"
Chu Xian was unwilling to take the blame for the original owner. She had only been in this body for three years, and the injustice of three years ago had nothing to do with her.
"Nine." Sui Qing hesitated to speak and glanced at the girl, but in the end he held back and didn't say it out loud.
Chu Xian bowed her head in guilt and apologized to the pile of bones.
Although she did not kill Bo Ren, nine innocent women died because of her neglect to discipline Zhuangzi.
"Lin Shu... have you forgotten these women..."
Xianrong was a straightforward and frank person. She gritted her teeth and avoided Suiqing's hints with winks and couldn't help but remind the girl.
"Most of these corpses were... tortured to death by... girls..."
Xianrong lowered her head and didn't dare to continue reminding the girl.
Most of these young corpses were the result of evil deeds committed by the girl in her early years.
Xianrong's eyes were filled with fear, and she stammered and didn't dare to continue.
The servants in the mansion privately like the girl's humble and gentle personality.
In the past, the area around the girl was like a graveyard for slaves. Anyone who was assigned to serve the girl would cry and wail.
Since the girl fell into the water three years ago, perhaps she had gone through a near-death experience and was reborn. She changed her domineering and violent temperament and transformed into a well-educated, gentle and elegant person.
Even Master Fei Yanggu couldn't help but feel relieved that the girl had grown up.
Chu Xian was panicked, realizing that the woman buried here might be related to the original owner.
"Stop talking. Bury them in the persimmon forest at night."
All the women who died unjustly in the past three years were killed by Bao Sanchun. It was Bao Sanchun and had nothing to do with her. Chu Xian's face was pale and she kept comforting herself in her heart.
She suppressed her fear and pulled out some mugwort and lit it.
As a fresh herbal fragrance spread, the mosquitoes gradually disappeared.
I've been running around these past two days and have developed prickly heat on my cheeks and neck. Each little bump is prickly to the touch.
Chu Xian crushed the fresh mugwort leaves in her hand to extract the juice, and applied the mugwort juice on her neck covered with prickly heat. Only then did she barely endure the urge to scratch.
The master and his two servants put aromatic herbs into cloth bags and made simple mosquito repellent sachets to wear, and hung a few sachets at the head of the bed to repel mosquitoes.
"Suiqing, we'll make a few more mosquito repellent sachets with mugwort, mint, and cloves. Give them to..."
When Chu Xian raised her eyes, she found that Master Chi had been sitting on a bamboo bench under the eaves without her noticing.
She turned her back nervously, wondering how much the scholar had heard about the scandal of how she cruelly tortured and killed slaves.
After a moment of embarrassment, she felt relieved.
There were countless scandals about Fei Yanggu's daughter in the capital. She had already been notorious, so it didn't matter if she added a few more scandals.
Yinzhen sat on the bamboo bench with difficulty. Shocking bones were piled up in the corners. Nara was so cruel and cruel that it constantly refreshed his perception of the vicious woman.
What kind of ghost and evil spirit did Khan Ama choose for him as his wife!
She is so vicious that it is disgusting.
"Mr. Chi, have lunch. Today we have mulberry leaf tofu, crispy mixed fish, and sweet potato porridge." Chu Xian walked slowly towards Chi Zheng, carrying a simple bamboo lunch box.
"Miss Lin, I know nothing about the temperament of the young lady from the host family. Could you please explain my confusion?"
