Chapter 423: Drunk and horny, he seeks his own death
The noise and joy in the front yard of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's mansion could be heard faintly, which made Tingyu Cottage seem even more remote and quiet. Lu Yun's bridal sedan had already been carried away, and the guests were toasting each other. It was the time when the guards in the mansion were taking turns on duty and the flow of people was relatively frequent, and it was also the time when attention was most easily distracted.
Zhou Jianming drank a lot of yellow liquor, his cheeks were red, his steps were unsteady, and he was drunk. His personal servant carried him to the corner of the garden to sober up.
His mind was in a mess. One moment he thought of the wealth of the Marquis's Mansion, the next he thought of Yuan Wanru's cold yet stunningly beautiful face and the golden hairpin that almost blinded his eyes, and the next he thought of the noble ladies in the garden whom he could see but not touch... A fire of evil mixed with humiliation and unwillingness surged in his chest.
At this moment, two low-ranking servants who seemed to be passing by unintentionally whispered behind a bush not far from him:
"Alas, speaking of which, Aunt Liang in our mansion is also really pitiful..."
"Look, there's such a big wedding going on in the mansion today, but she can't come out to drink in the wedding wine. She's just standing alone in the empty yard."
"Tsk, that good look is wasted."
"That's right. She's as pretty as a flower, and has a gentle personality. But... well, she lives in that remote courtyard, and no one wants to hang around there."
"I heard that the prince has not yet had his wedding night with Concubine Liang. It's such a pity for such a delicate woman."
"I've seen her from afar. Her figure and appearance make me feel soft at the sight of her. How could the prince resist?"
"If you ask me, she lives in such a remote place, if she encounters some flower-stealing thief, she will be helpless."
"The Crown Prince's wife doesn't like her and she wishes she would die sooner. If someone defiles her, she can just kick that person out. The Crown Prince's wife arranged her in the small courtyard, maybe she had this in mind."
"Who isn't? He is a pitiful man. It would be fine on normal days, but today is the day when the guards in the mansion take turns to take turns and the flow of people is relatively high. No one can take care of this small courtyard. If something happens..."
"Hey, do you dare?"
“I don’t dare…”
The sound gradually faded away.
These words were like magic sound, accurately penetrating into the ears of the drunk Zhou Jianming.
Aunt Liang?
Courtyard?
The image that emerged in his mind was the beautiful woman who was frightened by him that day and now was as docile as a little rabbit?
I was alone in a remote courtyard... No one cared about me...
Zhou Jianming's eyes lit up instantly, and the flames of greed and lust burned in his turbid eyes!
yes!
How could he forget about her!
He failed last time and was taught a lesson by Yuan Wanru's guards, which was a complete loss of face!
Now everyone in the mansion is busy with Lu Yun's wedding. The front yard is bustling with activity. Who would care about the small courtyard in the corner?
Who would care about an unfavored concubine?
The pleasure of revenge and the lust fueled by alcohol gnawed at his sanity like poisonous snakes.
Revenge on whom?
Revenge for the Lu family's contempt for him, revenge for Yuan Wanru's humiliation of him!
He couldn't touch Yuan Wanru, but could he not touch a forgotten and helpless concubine?
If I can really succeed... I can vent my anger and taste the beauty at the same time... It's simply a godsend!
A surge of evil thoughts and evil courage rushed straight to the top of my head.
He stood up suddenly and whispered to his personal servant Zhou Wang, "Come on, help me get some fresh air!"
Zhou Wang saw him staggering to his feet and hurried forward to help him up: "Where are you going, sir?"
He has always been following Zhou Jianming and is not a good person either.
Zhou Jianming gave him a lingering look, and Zhou Wang understood what he meant and immediately supported him. The master and servant avoided the bustling lobby and main paths and sneaked towards the most secluded place in the mansion.
Being drunk and driven by evil thoughts, Zhou Jianming staggered but was extremely anxious, mumbling incoherently, "Humph, you look down on me, that damn bitch Yuan Wanru, you scare me every day, today I'll let them know how powerful I am."
Aunt Liang, you are such a beauty. Wait for your brother to love you.
Zhou Wang whispered in agreement, encouraging his master: "Master is wise! That place is deserted, there is no one there! That little girl was ungrateful last time, this time Master will definitely teach her a lesson!"
-
Early this morning, every place in the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis was busy, but Liang Yuhua's courtyard was still exceptionally lonely.
Liang Yuhua was sitting by the window at the time, listening to the sound of music and drums in the mansion. A servant with a rough face and a loud voice came in with a broom in her hand, cursing: "What bad luck! You have to sweep the floor on such a happy day!"
Yunxiu had already gone out to get breakfast, leaving Liang Yuhua alone here.
She walked over with a very good temper, "If Madam is busy, there is no need to sweep here. I will ask my maid to sweep it again when she comes back."
In fact, the courtyard is very clean and there is not much that needs to be cleaned.
The old woman dropped the tools heavily on the ground with a clang, and her saliva almost sprayed on Liang Yuhua's face.
"What do you know? Today, the second young lady is getting married, and the mansion is full of distinguished guests. The first lady and the Crown Prince's wife have already issued orders that every place must be cleaned spotlessly, without even a leaf on the tree, so as not to bring shame to the mansion."
"If you don't let me sweep, and you guys get lazy and don't sweep, and someone sees it, is it your fault or mine?"
Liang Yuhua didn't expect that this old woman had such a bad temper.
"Don't worry, I will make sure Yunxiu cleans it thoroughly."
The old woman snorted coldly: "It's not your turn to arrange for me yet."
"Who do you think you are? You're just a useless person in the mansion who eats for free."
Liang Yuhua was thin-skinned and felt very sad when she was scolded like this, and her eyes became red.
"Why do you have to say it so harshly?"
The old woman pushed her to the corridor and said, "Come on, come on, don't stand here and get in the way. I don't have time to chat with you."
Amid the shoving and pushing, a small and tightly wrapped package in oil paper was quickly stuffed into Liang Yuhua's empty palm under the cover of clothes, along with a small crumpled piece of paper.
Liang Yuhua's heart skipped a beat, and her fingers tightened instantly, holding the two things tightly.
Whose is this person?
What does this mean?
The old woman's voice was very rude: "By the way, when I came here, the prince's wife asked me to warn Aunt Liang."
"There are many nobles in the mansion today, Madam Liang should stay in the room obediently. If you dare to take a step outside, you will be in trouble!"
Liang Yuhua's eyes lit up.
This old woman belongs to the Crown Prince’s wife!
She tightly clenched the thing in her hand, met the servant's suggestive eyes, and replied timidly: "Yes, yes, I know, I dare not go out."
"Okay, stop standing here and getting in the way."
The old woman cursed a few more times, picked up the broom and started to work. When she finished sweeping the floor and left, she deliberately slammed the door loudly.
Liang Yuhua returned to the room and carefully found a safe corner. After making sure that there was no way anyone could see her, she carefully unfolded the piece of paper with trembling hands.
