At this moment, Zhao Dahua was bleeding profusely from her body and was both panicked and weak. She hurriedly said, "Quick, call a doctor! Quick, call the master!"
Xiao Rou initially thought it was just a minor thing like Zhao Dahua getting leg cramps in the middle of the night due to her pregnancy, but she was terrified to see this scene. She quickly ran out and shouted, "Master, Madam, something terrible has happened! The Second Madam is bleeding!"
Wu Yong had drunk a little wine that day and was sleeping like a log, so he didn't hear anything. Qian Ruyi did hear it, but she pretended not to.
Seeing that there was no response, Xiao Rou hurriedly ran out to find a doctor. This delay meant that by the time the doctor arrived, Zhao Dahua was already pale, had lost too much blood, and had fainted.
The doctor was also taken aback and tried to save her, but it was too late. He could only sigh helplessly and say, "Alas, she has lost too much blood. I'm afraid I can't do anything about it."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Rou became frightened. If something happened to Zhao Dahua, her fate would not be good either. She quickly knelt down and pleaded, "Doctor, please, please save my second mistress."
As the doctor packed his medicine box, he said, "Perhaps my skills are lacking. If it doesn't work, you should find someone else."
Without waiting for Xiaorou to plead, he hurriedly left with his medicine box. It was only then that Qian Ruyi arrived, belatedly.
She met the doctor who was leaving at the door, exchanged a few words with him to understand the situation, and then walked in crying loudly, covering her face with a handkerchief: "My poor sister, what happened to you? You were doing so well and then this happened. It makes me so sad."
At this moment, Zhao Dahua also heard what the doctor said. However, she was weak all over and in unbearable abdominal pain. Although she wanted to live, she knew she probably wouldn't make it through the day.
"Xiaorou, what are you still doing here? Such a big thing has happened, why don't you hurry up and call the master over so he can see our second mistress one last time!"
Qian Ruyi's maid pulled Xiao Rou along towards the study. Xiao Rou, completely disoriented, followed the maid out.
At this moment, only Qian Ruyi and Zhao Dahua were in the room. Qian Ruyi immediately changed her expression, looking at Zhao Dahua with a sneer and saying, "Zhao Dahua, you're as stupid as your mother. You don't know, do you? I actually put something in the pastry you ate during the day. How did it taste?"
Zhao Dahua's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she reached out to grab Qian Ruyi. But she grasped at empty air; she was too weak to move forward. She tumbled off the bed, but had no strength left to take another step.
"What? You're not reconciled? Then let me tell you something else. Back then, your mother was determined to take all the blame for you, but alas, she died without achieving her wish. But it's all karma; you eventually entered the inner courtyard, so she got what she wanted."
"So what? You still died at my hands. After you and your daughter are reunited in the afterlife, you can have a good chat, hehehe, heheha, hahahaha!" Qian Ruyi said with a smile.
"You, you, you evil demon, I, I, I will sue, tell the master," Zhao Dahua said with all her might. At this moment, she clearly felt the countdown of her life, and she hoped that her grandfather would come soon.
"You're still thinking about that heartless man. Don't you think about why he didn't come to see you after all the commotion tonight?" Qian Ruyi kindly reminded her.
Zhao Dahua's eyes widened: "It's you!"
"Yes, it was me. I made him and that little bitch live a life of debauchery. He should be thanking me!" Qian Ruyi said. She had put something in their drinks, so much so that the two of them got so into a fight that they couldn't get up.
Zhao Dahua was in despair!
"Qian Ruyi, you won't have a good ending." These were Zhao Dahua's last words.
Qian Ruyi laughed, but then tears streamed down her face. She had no choice; she had no choice about her birth, and she had no choice about her present. If she didn't want to lose, she had to be ruthless!
"Dahua, Dahua." Wu Yong, who arrived late, saw Zhao Dahua lying on the ground with blood all over her body as soon as he entered the door. He was stunned.
Qian Ruyi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and walked over to say, "Master, your sister has passed away."
Wu Yong stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
Qian Ruyi sneered. It seemed their relationship wasn't that deep after all. Was she so scared that she wouldn't step forward?
“Master, my sister’s passing was tragic. Why don’t we give her a proper burial?” Qian Ruyi said.
“That makes sense. Madam, I’ll leave this matter to you. I have other matters to attend to at the yamen, so I’ll stay there for the next few days and come back later.” After saying that, he turned to leave without any sense of responsibility.
"Master, Master, you must avenge our Second Madam! She was murdered!" At this moment, Xiao Rou rushed forward and grabbed Wu Yong's leg, refusing to let go.
She figured it out.
It's impossible for Zhao Dahua to suddenly die along with her unborn child; someone must have framed her. Whoever that person is, she must seek justice for Zhao Dahua.
Otherwise, if she were to be blamed for neglecting her duties, a servant girl like her would likely be beaten to death or, at the very least, sold off.
Neither of them is the outcome she wants.
She could only go to the abyss for her master, and still earn a reputation for loyalty. Besides, there was something fishy about this whole thing.
Wu Yong was stunned. He had been sound asleep when he was woken up to find out that Zhao Dahua was in trouble, and then he was shocked by the bloodshed before him.
Thinking about it carefully, there is indeed something strange. Zhao Dahua didn't seem to be feeling unwell yesterday, so how could something have happened to her overnight?
"What exactly happened? Tell me in detail. If I find out who the villain is behind this, I will not let them off the hook," Wu Yong said angrily.
Qian Ruyi, who followed behind, felt a chill run down her spine. She was guilty of something and had wanted to finish things quickly, but Xiao Rou had unexpectedly rushed out. It was her fault for being careless; she should have locked Xiao Rou up and taken the initiative.
But it wasn't too late, so she said, "Exactly, what exactly happened to Xiaorou? You need to explain clearly, otherwise it's because you didn't take good care of her and caused her master's death. Now you're making baseless accusations, and you're probably going to get your mouth sewn shut and be beaten to death with sticks."
Xiao Rou shuddered upon hearing this, but at this point, she was doomed no matter what. She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Second Madam is like this because she ate the pastries from Madam's room."
"You're talking nonsense, or I'll tear your mouth off!" Qian Ruyi was anxious and stepped forward to slap Xiao Rou hard.
“My lord, please stand up for me. I’m telling the truth. When the second madam came back, she was choking and asked me to pour her some tea. She said she choked on the madam’s pastries. Then, because of this, the second madam lost her appetite in the afternoon and only ate some porridge. She didn’t eat anything else. Then, she suddenly became like this in the evening. It must be because there was something wrong with the madam’s pastries.”
