"Mother, let's not do such a despicable thing."
The second concubine flatly refused, "That won't do. This brat is determined to go against us. She might just go to the Shen family in the north of the city tomorrow to break off the engagement."
"If she runs away with that man, won't we be left with nothing?"
It would have been better if we hadn't talked about it, because Guan Shuli gets angry as soon as we do.
She also disliked Guan Shuqing.
But……
"Mother, I'm still scared."
They were afraid of killing someone and being arrested and executed.
The second concubine, however, did not quite agree with what she said. "What are you afraid of? In this world, money can make the devil turn the millstone."
As long as they clean up the mess and leave no trace of trouble, who will know what will happen then?
"Alright, if you're still scared, then we'll lead her to the riverbank, then quietly push her from behind, and tell everyone that she accidentally fell into the river and drowned. Who would suspect us then?"
so……
Guan Shuli thought about it and thought it was a good idea.
"Think about it carefully. As long as you are alive, you will not only be unable to marry the young master of the Shen family, but you will also be unable to marry the man you love."
The second concubine could tell that her heart was wavering.
At that moment, what she needed most was a tranquilizer.
"I promise you, after this is done, I will not stop you whether you marry the young master of the Shen family or that other man."
"real?"
In fact, even if the second concubine hadn't said these words, Guan Shuli had already made up his mind to kill Guan Shuqing.
Because of her, I lost the bet again this afternoon.
In addition, there was the fifteen silver dollars he had swindled from Feng Sheng.
She currently owes people a total of thirty silver dollars.
There's no way the second concubine would give her that much money.
...
After the mother and daughter finished talking, the second concubine prepared to go to sleep.
She asked Guan Shuli to close the door for her when she left.
Unexpectedly, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew in.
A loud bang.
The wooden door slammed shut, plunging the room into complete darkness.
One was outside the door, and the other was inside the house.
The second concubine was startled and called out, "Shuli?"
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Guan Shuli himself was also taken aback.
She pressed her ear against the door, listening to what was happening inside.
But then they heard a woman crying.
"I died a terrible death."
Why did you try to hurt me?
Why did you drown me?
"Why, why?"
...
"Ah!" Guan Shuli screamed, staggering backward, her face deathly pale.
"Mother, Mother."
how so.
Guan Shuli was panting heavily.
She...she thought she just heard Guan Shuqing's voice?
Oh my god.
Guan Shuli was almost in tears from fright.
But no matter how many times she called from outside, there was no response from inside for a long time.
Guan Shuli was truly afraid.
Could something have happened to her, or her mother?
He rushed up and banged on the door, calling out, "Mother, Mother."
Bang bang bang!
She pounded on the door loudly.
Inside the house, the second concubine finally managed to recover and get up from the ground.
She, she just fell down.
The pain was so intense that I couldn't make a sound.
She knew that Guan Shuli was very worried about her.
Supporting her aching back, she slowly replied, "I'm here, sweetie, go back and rest."
Are you alright?
"fine."
He's just an old man whose bones are about to fall apart.
"Alright."
Guan Shuli breathed a sigh of relief.
But at night she returned to her own room.
I lay down but couldn't sleep.
When she closed her eyes, she thought of the voice she had just heard from her mother.
She...couldn't help but tremble under the covers.
