Chapter 3 The Eldest Daughter
As for what Luo Wan saw?
Of course, they saw her kill someone.
Luo Xi's grandmother was born out of wedlock, so she always doted on Luo Yan, who was also born out of wedlock, and valued Luo Yan even more than she, the legitimate daughter.
This also led Luo Yan to constantly compare herself to her.
Moreover, every time Luo Xi went to Fu'an Hall, her grandmother always ignored her, the legitimate granddaughter, while treating Luo Yan, the illegitimate granddaughter, like a treasure, showering her with care and concern.
Upon seeing this, Luo Xi was naturally displeased.
Luo Xi knew that Liu Ma, who served her grandmother, hated her grandmother very much because her grandmother had always prevented the loyal Liu Ma from getting married for her own sake! This also led Liu Ma to hate her grandmother.
Luo Xi found Liu Ma and told her that as long as she helped her kill her grandmother, she would send her out of the mansion in six months, give her enough money, and let her live out her old age in peace.
After thinking about it, Aunt Liu agreed.
Liu Ma was the person my grandmother trusted most; killing my grandmother would have been incredibly easy for her.
Liu Ma smothered her grandmother to death with a pillow and then tore off the blanket covering her...
No one suspected that Liu Ma, who had been with Grandma for most of her life, was the one who murdered her. They simply assumed that Grandma was old and had caught a chill, so she passed away...
As for Liu Ma, Luo Xi did not intend to let her continue living.
so,
Two months later, she invited Aunt Liu to Yunluo Pavilion.
She and Zhuzhu were waiting for her at the abandoned Yunluo Pavilion (where Aunt Luo Wan lived before she died).
After Liu Ma arrived, Luo Xi was talking to her when Zhu Zhu casually walked behind her. She took out a tattered cloth laced with sleeping potion from her bosom and covered Liu Ma's mouth from behind.
Aunt Liu struggled desperately...
Just then, Luo Wan, unable to sleep at night, came to Yunluo Pavilion alone. She pushed open the door and saw this scene...
Luo Wan's eyes widened. She was about to run when Luo Xi caught up with her. She covered Luo Wan's mouth with a spare rag, and soon Luo Wan collapsed to the ground unconscious. However, Luo Xi didn't let go; she held the rag over Luo Wan's mouth for a full fifteen minutes. Finally, only after confirming that Luo Wan was truly no longer breathing did she release her grip…
As for Zhuzhu, Aunt Liu was no longer angry.
Luo Xi glanced at Luo Wan on the ground, then at Liu Ma over there.
Finally, she and Zhuzhu worked together to throw them both into the small pond on the left.
Although the pond is small, the water is quite deep.
Afterwards, almost everyone assumed that Luo Wan, overwhelmed with longing for Aunt Zhong, had contemplated suicide and jumped. Then, Liu Ma, who was passing by, saw this and jumped in to save Luo Wan, but unexpectedly, she drowned.
But Xiaoju alone didn't believe it. She knew that her young lady was a person who valued her life very much. Her young lady would never commit suicide. Someone must have harmed her.
Two days later,
The Grand Tutor's Residence.
In the small garden.
Luo Wan and Luo Yan got into a fight over a flower, which was the crabapple blossom that Luo Yan had her eye on.
They started arguing and then came to blows, pushing each other, while their maids tried to stop them.
Luo Xi happened to be passing by and saw it.
She glanced at Luo Yan, Luo Wan, and the two maids beside them, then at the artificial hill behind them, her eyes deepening.
Luo Xi glanced at Zhu Zhu, who understood and nodded almost imperceptibly.
The next second, Luo Xi walked over with Zhu Zhu, trying to dissuade them.
They were in the heat of the moment and fighting fiercely, so they didn't even know that Luo Xi had arrived.
Luo Xi pretended to stop them, but in reality, she didn't use any force at all.
Right now, they're still going back and forth, hitting, pushing, and cursing each other.
While everyone was distracted, Zhuzhu pushed Luo Wan hard in the direction Luo Yan reached out, and then quickly withdrew her hand.
The next second, Luo Wan crashed into the artificial hill, a large gash appearing on her forehead, blood gushing out, and she collapsed to the ground...
Luo Xi: !!!
Luo Yan: !!!
Luo Yan was startled by this. She stared blankly at her outstretched hand, as did the others.
Fifteen minutes later,
The Grand Tutor and the Imperial Physician rushed over.
Unfortunately, Luo Wan was already dead.
Luo Yan: !!!
Xiaoju knelt before the Grand Tutor, crying and pleading, "Your Excellency, it was the Third Miss who did it; she pushed the young lady."
Luo Yan explained in a panic, "Father, I didn't mean to, I...I..."
"I was just angry for a moment, I didn't mean to do anything to her."
Luo Yan cried so pitifully.
Luo Yan also thought that she was the one who pushed her, that she hadn't controlled her strength well.
