Chapter 215 People are complicated, love and hate are common
"It's a little poorer, but at least we can get by," she said. "If it weren't for opium, he and I might be able to live together forever."
Life is long, but she is determined.
Jiusu propped up her chin and thought, the plot seemed wrong. Dujuan actually had feelings for Hunpi. It was true that husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days after marriage. She sighed.
"Your man is dead."
"What?" Du Juan breathed rapidly and felt suffocated. When she was first sold to the brothel, she wanted to kill the bastard. She had been living by scolding him and missing him.
People are complicated, and it is common for love and hate to be mixed together.
But if a person is gone, how can we hate or love?
How does she survive?
Jiusu said: "Actually, we are here to investigate opium. A few days ago, we found Hunpi dead, and he died from smoking opium, so we found you."
Dujuan fell off the round stool and cried sadly.
The teapot fell on him, but he didn't feel the heat. "I thought about it a long time ago. He became as thin as that grandson after the first cigarette..."
Jiusu quickly threw the teapot away and helped Dujuan up.
"Can it be ironed? Go change your clothes first."
"My heart is dead, it's not hot anymore." Du Juan sat there blankly, her hand casually touching the water on her waist. She looked at the three people again, her eyes had become much colder. She said, "Actually, your woman, right?"
Jiusu said honestly: "Yes, in order to find you, I can only resort to this last resort."
Du Juan lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking. She raised her head, and the light in her eyes seemed to move. "Are you the Lord Jiu?"
It was a woman who came to investigate the case.
The only thing I can think of is Jiusu, the female official who was popular in the county some time ago.
Jiusu nodded: "It's me."
Du Juan continued, "I have one condition. I'll tell you the location and time of their transaction, and you give me the ashes of the bastard. I'll take him to a deserted place."
Jiusu was unable to make a decision and looked at Song Wang.
Song Wang pondered for a moment, then said, "After the case is over, I can give you his ashes, but I hope you can actively cooperate and catch the cigarette dealer as soon as possible."
After leaving the brothel, they returned home with solemn expressions.
At this time, Dujuan also took the silver money to find the madam. When she heard that she wanted to redeem herself, the madam was reluctant. That day, three people came to see Dujuan.
I guess he must have some outstanding qualities.
"Did those three young masters give this to you?"
The money was enough, but she didn't want to let him go.
Seeing Du Juan nod, her expression was not right. Could it be that those three young men were beasts? The madam asked: "Are you not living well here? Aren't you happier than before?"
Dujuan forced a pale smile.
"What is happiness?"
"Did they say anything to you?" The madam felt that her mood was very wrong. She was obviously a human being, but she was like a porcelain cup that was about to break.
Du Juan did not answer, but said: "My man is dead."
The madam looked up in surprise at the person in front of her. Death was not uncommon, but the main problem was that Dujuan loved and hated the man, and was disheartened. What if he caused her trouble?
She advised: "If he's dead, he's dead. A heartless and ungrateful man is not worth your concern."
Du Juan said, "This is a serious case. If you won't let me go, I will commit suicide."
The madam narrowed her eyes and asked angrily.
"You dare to threaten me?"
Du Juan shuddered as she thought of the torture she had endured when she first came to the brothel. But at this point, what was there to be afraid of? The worst that could happen was that she could bite her tongue and commit suicide.
She looked calm and raised her head.
"The people who came today are Lord Jiu, Lord Jiang, and Lord Song. They are here to investigate Hunpi's cause of death. If I don't leave, they will come again, and then they might involve you."
The madam murmured the names of these adults.
Lady Song didn't know who they were, but she was familiar with Jiusu and Jiang Jing. She frowned and asked, "Are you really leaving?"
Du Juan nodded, "I want to avenge him."
The madam rolled her eyes, feeling annoyed at losing her cash cow but not wanting to cause any trouble. She took the redemption money and said, "Let's go! You can't touch anything here!"
Dujuan took off her gorgeous clothes and changed into the gray-brown linen clothes she wore when she came.
The moment she stepped out of the brothel, she looked up at the sunlight shining through the dark clouds and couldn't help but smile helplessly: "I have no family and no man anymore."
When a person dies, everything is gone.
The house is bare, but full of memories.
Du Juan stroked the earthen wall and looked at the dusty stove. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She said, "Back then, I cooked and he lit the fire. It was actually quite happy."
At night, several tightly covered people were trading.
"One hand pays the other hand delivers the goods."
The man didn't take it, but just said: "This is too little, isn't it? There is not enough to smoke."
The man in black sneered, "That's all. I risked my life to deliver it to you. If you smoke one, you can smoke it for a month. Why do you need so much?"
The man laughed and said, "Hey, what's the point of smoking alone? I asked a few brothers to smoke together. I bought from you and sold it to them to make money. These are not enough for us to smoke for half a day."
The man in black looked at the pack of opium in his hand and fell into deep thought. After a while, he asked.
"If I give you several baskets, can you sell them?"
"Of course." The man patted his chest and said, "I'm familiar with the people here. I can sell even several baskets or carts of it. You know this stuff is addictive, but it's expensive. As long as you give me a discount, we brothers can make money."
“…”
The next day.
Zi Tan sent a message: "Miss, Lord Song said that he has already planted a spy. In addition, he wants to treat you to a meal at Fangxing Tower."
He also invited Jiang Jing.
Being discovered by Qiu Man, she and Jiusu wanted to go too. The two planned to take Jiang Nianyin to relax together. Speaking of relaxing, Madam Hou Yi Hui also wanted to go.
Li Yulan followed closely behind.
In other words, the Marquis wants to have a drink with General Bai and is not available to come.
Rainy days always make people feel listless. Seeing that her father and the Marquis were drinking happily, Bai Luoxue did not disturb them and quietly left with Fangfei.
He turned his head and looked towards the yard.
Then I saw a man and a woman standing there.
"Jiang Jing, Li Yulan?"
Fang Fei said, "Madam Hou and Miss Li are here too this time."
Bai Luoxue clenched her fists and said angrily, "It's okay for Jiusu to stand next to Jiang Jing. I'm no match for Jiusu, but why can Li Yulan talk to him?"
The more she thought about it, the more jealous she became. She lifted her skirt and ran to the yard.
The woman's footsteps were so light that the two men didn't notice.
Jiang Jing frowned and asked calmly, "Please tell me quickly, Miss Li. If you are making up another story about Nian Yin getting into trouble, such as jumping into the lake or pushing you into the water, I won't believe it."
He reminisced about the past with Shopkeeper Fang and asked some questions.
Just as he was about to go back, Li Yulan stopped him.
Li Yulan's expression was unpredictable. Thinking of the humiliation she suffered that day, she clenched her fingers and said, "Jiusucheng has been married before, and her family background is not clean. Young Master Jiang should think carefully about this."
