Chapter 53: Cruel and Vicious
She asked Xiaotao to look after her aunt while she went to deal with Datao's body.
After all, someone died in the mansion, and she was someone that Qi had "valued" for more than ten years. If she was gone, Qi would definitely become suspicious. What's more, she came here on her orders, so she would naturally think that Da Tao's disappearance was related to them.
Qijunyuan is weak to begin with. Her husband doesn't love her, and her mistress doesn't love her. The only old lady who can control Qi is far away in the manor and is out of reach.
Of course, she had never thought of asking the old lady to come and help, or to stand on their side. They were just the second wife of a concubine. As long as they did not affect the future of the Lin family, what did it matter whether they lived or died?
She dragged Da Tao's body and threw it at the foot of the wall. Then she went to Da Tao's residence without stopping, looted her gold and silver, and then put the gold and silver in her hands, pretending that she was killed by thieves because of robbery.
After finishing everything, Lin Qingjun looked at the gold and silver in her hands.
She really wanted to get all of this back. Most of Da Tao's money was the reward she got by harming her aunt. These were the blood and flesh money she had trampled on at Qijunyuan. She was really unwilling to accept that they would be buried with her.
However, no matter how unwilling I am, I cannot accept it. For the future peace of Qijunyuan, I have to bear the pain.
Aunt Liu also came to her senses and looked at her daughter in disbelief.
"Jun, Jun'er, tell me, do you kill people often?"
Otherwise, why did she handle the situation so swiftly? She'd even planned a reason for Da Tao's death long beforehand. How old was she? Still a child, how could she be so skilled and experienced in such matters?
Lin Qingjun chuckled, how could he not be experienced?
Thinking back to when she had been the mistress of the Xiao Mansion for three years, she went from being a mistress Xiao Bai who could deal with those evil servants in the mansion without batting an eyelid, and then she went from being laughed at and even despised by the other ladies, and the Xiao Mansion was so deserted that even children were unwilling to visit, to being a favored lady who would invite her to have a drink and share in the joy even for a small third-day bathing ceremony.
For the past three years, more than a thousand days and nights, she had no one to help or guide her. She relied entirely on herself to create a world for herself.
Is this easy?
Lin Qingjun shook her head and said, "Mom, who is born to kill people frequently? If I kill people frequently, then wouldn't all those people out there be murderers?"
She has just reached this point. Compared with Lin Yingxue's murderous and heart-breaking methods, hers is nothing.
Aunt Liu nodded. That’s right. Her daughter was so well-behaved. If she hadn’t been forced into a corner, she wouldn’t have done such a thing. It was all Da Tao’s fault.
only……
"Jun'er, my heart still hurts. I didn't realize she had become so vicious."
She really treats her as her sister.
"Auntie, we know a person by his appearance but not by his heart. Moreover, she might be that kind of person at heart. It's just that she hid it very well when she was in trouble and we didn't see it."
"Auntie, don't be sad for this kind of person. She has done many evil things, but this is not the only one."
Why did Xiao Yuan go straight into the backyard and ask for marriage in front of Lin Yingxue? Did he really think the door of the Lin Mansion was loose? Wasn't she the one who brought him here?
In her previous life, she didn't understand why Xiao Yuan came straight to the backyard after leaving his mansion. How could he, a man from outside, know where the women in the backyard were? If someone said no one told her, she would never believe it even if she was beaten to death.
In this life, she specifically checked and found out that it was Da Tao who led people here.
Also, the time when Xiao Yuan entered her Qijunyuan, it was this big peach who instigated Lin Yingxue.
She said, what's the point of arguing in the backyard, it would be better to go directly to her Qijun Courtyard and force her to marry. If she refuses, then start with her concubine, wouldn't that be great?
Lin Qingjun chuckled, "So, Auntie, our suffering didn't come from Qi, but from Da Tao. You treated her well, but she wanted to harm us mother and daughter like this. So, I took advantage of her killing spree and killed her."
There is a saying in this world that the people who hurt you are often not your enemies but your closest people. She held the knife called family affection and stabbed it directly into their hearts.
"So, Auntie, do you think I'm cruel and vicious?"
Aunt Liu immediately shut her up, "What nonsense are you talking about? My Jun'er is the kindest person in the world. If she hadn't been pushed to the limit, how could she have done such a murderous thing?"
Aunt Liu grabbed her hand and said, "Jun'er, I didn't mean to stop you. I woke up and heard the noise outside the room, so I forced myself to come here."
"I'm not trying to save Da Tao. I just want my daughter to stay away from blood."
"You, do you understand my painstaking efforts?"
When she heard that her daughter wanted to kill Da Tao, she ran out without even thinking and even wearing shoes.
Her daughter is innocent and must not be tainted by this filthy guy. Even if what she did was very secretive, who can be sure that what happened today will not be discovered?
The Madam is not an easy person to get along with, and the Master does not love Jun'er. If it really comes to that, how can she, as a concubine, protect her?
Da Tao is going to die anyway, so it doesn't matter who kills her.
Therefore, it is not a bad idea for her to be the one who performs the operation.
Lin Qingjun gasped and looked at her with excitement and distress. It turned out that her aunt was in such a hurry to come out not to save Da Tao's life, but for her?
Lin Qingjun burst into laughter and said, "Aunt, I misunderstood you. I thought..."
Aunt Liu shook her head. "What misunderstanding? It's not something you can talk about between mother and daughter. Well, now she's dead. I was the one who killed her. If anyone comes looking for her, they can use Aunt Liu's life to pay for it. Anyway, I'm an old man. If I die, I die. It doesn't matter."
Lin Qingjun held her hand, his eyes firm, "Auntie, you're talking nonsense again. With me here, who dares to let you die? Who can let you die? Not Qi, not father, not her either."
She said, "Auntie, they don't have time to bother with us lately. The Crown Prince's selection of a concubine, Grand Tutor Wen, and Madam Qi's birthday banquet are all things that keep them busy."
Having said that, Lin Qingjun secretly gritted his teeth.
"Auntie, I have to find a way to leave the house."
They will have to leave here sooner or later, but now they don’t even have any reward money. Without money, that is the biggest obstacle, so she has to leave the house to find a way out.
Aunt Liu thought for a moment and said, "How about you go out and help Auntie buy some silver thread during Madam Qi's birthday banquet?"
Lin Qingjun raised his head abruptly and said without thinking, "No."
She knew what her aunt wanted to do by buying the silver thread. In addition to her natural beauty, her aunt also had a skill that even Qi Shi did not have. She was an excellent embroidery worker, especially a painting of butterflies and peonies, which was extremely lifelike and she only used silver thread throughout the whole process. Her attainments were unmatched even by the embroiderers in the palace.
It was precisely because of this that Da Tao wanted to break her hand and that Qi was so jealous. However, every time she finished embroidering this picture, she would have to lie in bed for three months before she could recover, which was a huge cost to her life.
She would never allow her aunt to suffer any loss again.
