Chapter 16 Qiuyue's betrayal
"Get up first. We'll talk about this later. Go get some water and wash her clean."
She pointed at Chen Kexin who had been standing behind her.
When Qiuyue saw Chen Kexin, she recognized her. She was the former concubine Chen.
But wasn’t she locked up by the Marquis? Why did the eldest lady bring her here?
Although she was confused, she didn't think much about it and immediately went downstairs to prepare water to take Chen Kexin to take a bath and change clothes.
During this period, Chen Kexin cooperated very well. She felt very happy to be able to take a good bath after so many years.
After Qiuyue helped her wash and change into her clothes, he brought her out.
Aunt Chen was too thin, and Qiuyue's clothes looked a little loose on her.
Just as she had finished packing, Lin Zhixue heard the news and hurried over.
When she saw Chen Kexin's appearance, she was stunned for a moment. She was so different from the Chen Kexin in her memory. She was terribly thin now.
She was so thin that she looked like a human. There was no flesh on her body. Her eyes were bulging and her cheeks were severely sunken.
If she wasn't very familiar with her, she probably wouldn't have recognized her.
"Mrs. Lin, you are really not dead. I thought...thought..." Chen Kexin choked up before she finished her words.
Lin Zhixue really wanted to know what had happened. Why had Concubine Chen become like this? She had heard from Xiaohong that afternoon that Dongxia, Baizhi, and Nanny Zhou had all gone with Concubine Chen. But what about the others?
"Kexin, why did you become like this?"
"Mother, Aunt Chen's brain has been traumatized and she can't remember anything from the past."
After saying this, Jiang Nanyuan winked at her.
Lin Zhixue immediately understood the hidden meaning in her words and nodded without saying anything else.
Then Lin Zhixue sat in her yard for a while. When Chunhua came back, Jiang Nanyuan asked her about how she handled the situation. Seeing that she handled it well, she was quite satisfied.
She told Lin Zhixue the news of their death.
Lin Zhixue was shocked when she heard the news of their death, and she returned home in a daze.
After Lin Zhixue left, Jiang Nanyuan asked Qiuyue to prepare a room for Aunt Chen and let her take care of her.
Chunhua was absent-minded in the yard, looking in the direction of Aunt Chen from time to time.
It's strange. It's been so long now. The news must have reached the Marquis and Aunt Liu.
Why is no one coming to cause trouble for the young lady?
She originally thought that the Marquis would come and cause trouble for the eldest lady, but he didn't.
At night, Jiang Nanyuan found an excuse to send Chunhua away, and she asked Qiuyue to bring Aunt Chen to her room.
When Qiuyue brought Aunt Chen over, she took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve and placed it on the table. "This contains the antidote. Pour out one pill and eat it."
"Thank you, Miss." Qiuyue knelt down and kowtowed to express her gratitude. Then she stood up, picked up the small porcelain bottle, poured out a pill, and swallowed it without hesitation.
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Aunt Chen and said, "Sit down and hold out your hand."
Aunt Chen heard that Jiang Nanyuan did not let Qiuyue go out, and she must be someone she trusted.
She sat down and put her hand on the table. Jiang Nanyuan placed his hand on her pulse for a moment and then withdrew his hand.
She is extremely weak and severely malnourished, but she doesn't have any other serious problems. If she takes some supplements, she will be able to make up for it in the future.
"Mrs. Chen, tell me, what on earth is going on?"
"Miss, if you have anything to say, I will go and wait outside first."
Qiuyue was tactful enough to leave, and Jiang Nanyuan had no intention of avoiding her, otherwise she wouldn't have let her bring Aunt Chen with her.
"No, I have something to ask you later, so just stay here."
Hearing Jiang Nanyuan say this, Qiuyue nodded and stood aside.
Upon seeing this, Aunt Chen told the whole story.
The reason why she was locked up was because she secretly overheard the plot of Liu Shuang and Jiang Nanfeng. At that time, she heard that they wanted to plot against Lin Zhixue and secretly stockpile private soldiers.
He wanted to frame her and make her fall off a cliff. When Lin Zhixue was in his house, she took good care of her. Although he didn't like her at first, they became closer as they got along.
So later she accidentally heard their plan and wanted to tell Lin Zhixue the truth, but when she left she accidentally made some noise and alarmed the two people in the house.
She was captured by Jiang Nanfeng and locked up. He was afraid that she would talk nonsense, so he locked her up alone at first.
But later, for some reason, Nanny Zhou, Dongxia, Baizhi, and Xiaohong were all locked up together.
At first she didn't know what it meant, but later she realized it was Jiang Nanfeng's trick.
Every once in a while, they would come to her room and ask her if she had heard anything, but how could she admit it?
Every time she came over, she shook her head vigorously. Xiaohong and others also asked her about it, but she didn't say anything.
Although she knew that they were all Lin Zhixue's personal maids, she was afraid that they might betray Li Zhixue.
So in fact, she didn't tell anyone about being locked up with them for many days.
Later, Liu Shuang came twice and killed Dongxia and Nanny Zhou in front of her.
They also left their bodies in the house without dealing with them, and she was left with the two corpses every day.
At first, Xiaohong and Baizhi were with her, but later, for some unknown reason, Xiaohong was taken away by Liu Shuang and never came back.
In the end, only she and Baizhi were left. She was afraid that Baizhi would also die here, so when no one was paying attention, she asked Baizhi to climb through a dog hole and sneak out.
He also gave her some valuable jewelry and asked her to hide outside.
After Bai Zhi left, she was the only one left in the house with two corpses. Day after day, year after year, several years went by like this.
She finally couldn't stand it anymore and was driven crazy.
Since then, she cried in the yard every day, sometimes even in the middle of the night. The news that she was crazy spread out. When Jiang Nanfeng saw them like this, some died and some went crazy, and he could not ask anything else.
He simply gave up on her. When he learned that Baizhi had run away, he sent people to look for her whereabouts.
However, he still asked the servants to deliver meals to Chen Kexin every day, thinking of letting her fend for herself.
Jiang Nanfeng certainly couldn't have imagined at that time that she would be able to survive with such strength.
After hearing what Aunt Chen said, Jiang Nanyuan seemed to be lost in thought. After a long while, she looked up at Qiuyue.
"Qiuyue, you used to serve Aunt Liu in her courtyard, right?"
