"Let me go and say a few words to her, just for the sake of the Fifth Concubine, Adjutant Li, you know what to do, right?"
Adjutant Li now not only wants to shoot the fifth concubine's illegitimate daughter, but also wants to shoot her at the same time.
"Eighth concubine, the young master is still here. Even if I show mercy, won't the young master find out something?" Adjutant Li did not want to disobey Marshal Lu's orders. If he was found out, he would be in trouble.
"Don't worry about it. Just don't hurt her. If you shoot, aim it away. You don't want the Third Wife's secret to be exposed, do you?"
After threatening him, Chen Miaoyi walked towards the little girl again, "After the gunshots, you will pretend to be asleep, okay? If you still want to see your mother, you can only open your eyes when I call you."
The little girl nodded in fear, then she stood aside. Although there were not many people at the shooting range, who knew if there might be someone in the dark?
"Bang!"
After the gunshot, the little girl lowered her head and stopped crying. The fifth concubine upstairs suddenly stopped struggling. Her daughter was gone.
The tyrannical element in Marshal Lu was provoked by her, and he grabbed her hair fiercely and said, "Do you think you can deceive me? You know, it was you who killed your daughter. If you had confessed earlier, I don't know how happy she would be. If it weren't for me, you would still be singing for money now, you ignorant fool!"
The fifth concubine let him ravage her like a walking corpse. She no longer begged for mercy and her heart was dead. It was not until the evening that Marshal Lu came out of her room and drove away from the Lu family.
"Where is my daughter?" asked the fifth concubine.
The servant beside him had no choice but to tell the truth, "I asked Adjutant Li to feed it to the dog."
The fifth concubine fell to the ground, with some bloodstains at the corners of her mouth, her hair and clothes were messy, a stark contrast to her usual exquisite appearance.
"Fifth sister, what happened to you? Let me take you to the hospital?" Chen Miaoyi helped her up. She was like an emotionless puppet. The moment she heard the gunshot, all her soul was sucked out.
Helping her leave from the main door, in this building. Perhaps some people laughed at her for being unlucky, perhaps some people were happy to see the end of the fifth concubine, but in essence, they were no different, or even worse than the fifth concubine.
"She's still alive." Chen Miaoyi whispered, and the fifth concubine was shocked.
"Come with me, and don't reveal yourself."
After getting on the rickshaw, they arrived at a hospital, asked the doctor to prescribe medicine, and then left through the back door.
"Where is Tongtong?" the fifth concubine asked anxiously. Chen Miaoyi looked around and took her to the poetry club.
That’s right, the universal hiding place is the secret room of Jincheng Poetry Society. They couldn’t find any other place to put them. They could never go back to the original place, and no one knew how it was discovered.
The fifth concubine had just suspected Chen Miaoyi and Lu Niandi, but now she has completely dispelled her suspicions. If they were going to harm her, why bother saving her? Saving someone is riskier than harming them.
When the secret room was opened, Tongtong was with Lu Niandi.
"Tongtong!"
"Mother!"
The mother and daughter hugged each other. The fifth concubine repeatedly confirmed whether she was injured. She couldn't believe that her daughter was still alive. She had experienced too much that day.
"Tongtong, tell mom why those people arrested you. Where is Aunt Liu?"
"Mom, I saw the man with the gun give Aunt Liu some money, and then Aunt Liu said she was going to buy groceries and never came back."
What didn't the Fifth Concubine understand? She was betrayed by the person she trusted the most. Liu Ma was the person she brought out from a brothel, and she thought that the other party would be grateful for her kindness.
"Why, why did Adjutant Li know?"
"Because Adjutant Li is the mistress of the Third Concubine. In my opinion, this was instigated by the Third Concubine."
The fifth concubine suddenly realized that how could she be targeted for no reason?
"Tongtong, thank your brother and sister quickly." She hurriedly pulled her daughter to thank her, "Third Aunt, I will never let you go!"
"What are you going to do? Tongtong is so young. In the eyes of the Marshal, she is already dead and must never appear again."
Otherwise, not only Adjutant Li, but his entire family will be wiped out!
"Can you let her hide here for a while? I will find a way to send her away." The fifth concubine begged. In Jincheng, she didn't know how to avoid Marshal Lu's eyes.
"This is the only way now. This place is absolutely safe. Only those of us on the inside know about it. Don't let it get away when you go back."
They temporarily handed Tongtong over to Mei'er's family for care. How could they feel at ease without anyone to take care of such a young child? And it was impossible for the three of them to be here all the time.
After reluctantly saying goodbye, the three of them returned to the Lu family one after another. Now the Lu family was not a very good place for any of them.
The next day, Jin Yanyu brought a piece of news that the police chief's nephew, classmate Wang, had died. He had not come to school for some time, and the Wang family could not enter casually.
After making inquiries from many sources, I learned that he was dead and his parents had moved out of Jincheng. I once thought that the director's uncle would be his support and umbrella, but I didn't expect that it would become his death warrant.
"We can't let him die like this!"
"He shouldn't have died. Our ideals and ambitions haven't been realized yet!"
"What should we do? Director Wang can even take action against his own nephew. Sooner or later, he will target us too."
Jin Yanyu now knew why he shouldn't be reckless. His path had been too smooth, but without power, he was nothing.
"Leave this matter to me. Now is the time for us to gather strength. This incident will appear in the newspaper tomorrow. His death will not be in vain."
Then the two of them told Jin Yanyu about Tongtong. He planned to move Tongtong away. The poetry club might not be safe. The police chief was so vindictive and must have set his sights on this place.
Not only Tongtong, Mei'er and Shuisheng also have to leave.
The fifth concubine went crazy at home, attacking indiscriminately, even Lu Nian Di and Chen Miaoyi were no exception. She portrayed the image of a mother who lost her child very well, especially the third concubine. She would pounce on her and beat her as soon as they met.
"That's enough! You lunatic! Get out! Get out! The third sister is pregnant. If anything goes wrong, what are you going to do to pay her back?"
"No, I won't leave! I want to stay here. I have nothing left! This is everything I have!"
The third concubine felt pain from having her hair grabbed by her, so she covered her head and started to give advice.
"Marshal, send her away! She's gone mad, and she's eating for free at home! I'm fine, but if anything happens to the child, I'll be heartbroken!"
Children, children are what he values most.
"Go ahead. Go wherever you want from now on. Pack your things."
