Chapter 159, Her Meaning
Xu Rourou was locked up in the woodshed by Marquis Jing'an, and several maids were guarding outside the door.
Yin Liu was also locked up, but not in the same place.
Zhong Youyan came to where Yin Liu was locked up, opened the door, and saw Yin Liu squatting on the ground crying. She was covered with wounds and her face was swollen.
Zhong Youyan sighed, "Don't cry."
Yin Liu raised her head when she heard the voice, hurriedly stepped forward, and knelt in front of Zhong Youyan, "Fourth Grandma, you promised me that you would give me money and a life contract to let me go after the matter was accomplished!"
That day, Xu Rourou asked her to go to the Fourth Grandma to claim the reward. She only wanted to take the reward she deserved.
But the Fourth Grandma gave too much.
She had never seen so much money before.
Unfortunately, she didn't keep the money for long. It was taken away by her own brother. Her brother took the money to gamble. Her parents not only didn't help her, but also beat her up and told her to make more money in Xie's house so that her brother could marry a wife in the future!
The next day, her brother was chased by the people in the gambling house to the back door of Xie's house, and pushed her into the fire pit to let her accompany the creditor to pay off the debt overnight!
When she was desperate, the fourth grandmother appeared, paid off the debt for her brother, and saved her.
That day, the fourth grandmother comforted her and said, "You have been grateful for your life for many years, and the money should be paid off! As a woman, you should live for yourself!"
So, she turned against Zhong Youyan!
Last night, she brought the nanny who found the note to Xu Rourou, angering Xu Rourou to attack the old lady. She
also induced Xu Rourou to look for the poison from the Fourth Master, leaving evidence for Zhong Youyan.
Today, the old lady was still alive, and she guessed that Xu Rourou would strike again, so she went to call the Marquis and Li to come over.
She seemed to be pleading for Xu Rourou, but in fact she revealed the truth.
Coupled with the evidence from Zhong Youyan and the palace doctor, Xu Rourou completely fell into the abyss!
All of this was done by her in cooperation with the Fourth Master in exchange for a life contract and money.
Zhong Youyan is now her only hope.
She grabbed the hem of Zhong Youyan's clothes tightly, but Zhong Youyan reached out and helped her up.
"I came here today for this. I have bought your indenture contract for you. This one thousand taels is your reward. I will have someone take you away tonight. Tomorrow you will go to Shunde Rouge Shop to find the shopkeeper Zhang. He will arrange a new identity for you. You will work there in the future. The monthly salary there will ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life!" Ling Lu said
. Zhong Youyan gave her the banknotes and indenture contract in her hand.
Yin Liu also said that she wanted to go back to her room to pack up her old things, but was stopped by Zhong Youyan.
"You are living for yourself again, why do you still take those things away! What help can those things bring to your future except bringing you bad memories?"
Yin Liu thought for a while and nodded suddenly.
She was taken away by Zhong Youyan's secret guards.
Zhong Youyan stood there, tears flashing in her eyes, as if she felt sad for Yinliu, but also happy for her leaving the cage.
"This damn feudal society, how many women have been harmed!"
"Fourth Grandma, what are you talking about?" Xiao Fuxing asked her with her head tilted.
She pursed her lips and smiled, "Although I am a faint light, I can also illuminate a piece of heaven and earth. As long as I can give them a little hope, I will have no regrets. This is the meaning of my coming here!"
Xiao Fuxing was even more confused.
But she didn't understand the pride and satisfaction in Zhong Youyan's heart at this moment.
Zhong Youyan smiled, and she said, "Xiao Fuxing, don't be influenced by them and call me Fourth Grandma. Tomorrow, when the Zhong family arrives, we will pack up and leave here!"
"Yes!" Xiao Fuxing nodded.
The two soon returned to the yard.
Jin Yu came forward and said coldly, "Miss, Fourth Master Xie is dead!"
"Yesterday he went to a cemetery in the suburbs and knelt in front of his mother's grave all night. When I asked someone to buy paper money and incense, he was dead."
"This is the golden box he was holding before he died."
He gave the things to Zhong Youyan.
Zhong Youyan opened the box and found a letter inside with Youyan's personal letter.
She sat down next to the candle, read the contents of the letter carefully, and suddenly laughed.
Jin Yu looked puzzled, and Xiao Fuxing asked in confusion, "Miss, what's written in it?"
"Nothing, but he admitted that he has no ability to have sex. He has been studying pharmacology for many years just to cure himself." Zhong Youyan smiled, but felt extremely angry!
Xie Jinqiu and Xu Rourou have a delicate relationship. He probably wanted Xu Rourou to help him try out the effect of the treatment!
Unfortunately, it didn't work.
No wonder.
After she went back that day when her innocence was ruined, she felt nothing.
She just lost her reputation, but her innocence remained. Her family, her clan, and even the society were forcing her to marry into the Xie Mansion.
When she thought of the oppression and the words that a woman's loss of reputation was equivalent to death, she was almost suffocated.
Fortunately, her mother loved her and gave her enough confidence so that she would not be wronged in the Xie Mansion!
"That's it?" Xiao Fuxing asked.
"He took an account book in exchange for one of his wills." Zhong Youyan picked up the account book and flipped through a few pages at random.
There was a deep shock in her eyes.
The Xie family is actually doing such a business!
And Xie Jinqiu took this account book that could prove a thorn in the side of the Xie family in exchange for being buried next to his mother after his death!
The divorce letter was at the bottom of the box, already written and stamped with fingerprints.
Zhong Youyan was in a complicated mood for a moment.
She said to Jinyu, "Don't send the fourth master's body back, find a good place for them and their son to be buried."
It is estimated that Xie Jinqiu is also unwilling to let Jing'an Hou find his grave.
"As for the tombstone, don't engrave your name on it."
"Yes!" Jinyu nodded and withdrew.
But after a while, a maid ran in hurriedly and said that it was Qingsheng's mother who bumped into Li and pushed Li into the pond, and she was almost drowned!
"Now, the Madam is furious and wants to beat Qing Sheng's mother to death! What should we do, Fourth Madam?"
Zhong Youyan narrowed her eyes.
She guessed something and suddenly smiled!
"Oh, by the way, there's also Qing Sheng's mother. She rushed in and rushed in seconds! Let's go, I will take good care of this old servant for my mother-in-law, hahaha."
She lifted her skirt and walked over.
Li had just been picked up by someone, her whole body was wet and cold, and she was surrounded by several old women, trembling and angrily scolding Qing Sheng's mother.
Qing Sheng's mother knelt on the ground, her face full of grievances.
In fact, she didn't mean it.
She just went to burn Master Zimu's inheritance documents secretly, and on the way back she was too guilty and bumped into someone.
Seeing that it was Li, she panicked and "accidentally" pushed her into the water.
She also called for help immediately.
Now Li is fine, but she is the one who is punished.
"You deliberately murdered the mistress, you deserve to die! Someone, kill her with a stick!"
Li's headscarf was gone, and the water drops on her head flowed down her bald head.
She was wrapped in a robe and shivered with cold.
Today, her mother-in-law passed away, and her relationship with Jing'an Hou broke down, which was bad enough.
Unexpectedly, when she came out to find Xu Xinpu, she was pushed into the water. She
almost died!
She finally had a place to vent her anger for the whole day, and she was going to kill this bastard to vent her anger!
"Wait!"
A bright voice came from not far away. Li looked over and found that the person who came was Zhong Youyan!
