Chapter 159
"Don't you just want to know what happened when she died? I know everything. I'll tell you, it's no big deal. I don't believe that knowing it will do anything. There are many people who know about trivial matters, so it doesn't mean they can get away with it.
Humph, at first, she didn't want to live in the same yard with me. She felt bored and wanted to go out for a walk. But she got lost and never came back. We haven't seen her for a long time and everyone was very surprised. I didn't want to look for her, so the matter was delayed, day after day, and suddenly someone remembered it. The Marquis also went home, so he took people out to look for her.
When they found her, she was already in the lake. She looked dying, soaking wet all over. She was probably about to die. But no matter what they said, I felt that she was dead at that moment. They didn't believe me because they thought I was jealous of her. What a joke. What was there about her that I should be jealous of?
The Marquis took her home again, but that was enough. She ran away again, taking her son and daughter with her. Halfway through the journey, she wanted to rest and only held her son, not having time to hold her daughter. She wanted to find something to eat, so her daughter ran away secretly. Along the way, she didn't know where she should go, nor where she was taking her, so she went home. She knew the way home.
Because at the beginning, she was brought to the gate of the Marquis's Mansion by Madam Taohua, when she was very young. When she grew up, she went out again and came back soon. Her memory was normal. After running back home, she wanted to go back to her room to rest. When she was drinking water, someone passed by and she was scared. She started shouting and said she didn't know anything.
The servant felt strange but couldn't push open the door to ask his master, so he told me what happened. I led people over and saw that there was no one else around, so I asked her. She told me everything, including what she knew and what she didn't know, including some fabricated stories.
It's not that I know nothing. What she said was something I didn't know, so I compared it with myself and confirmed that it was true. What she said was something I knew, so I thought about it and realized that what she said was false. So I began to consider whether I should tell the Marquis about it.
On his way back, the Marquis found Madam Taohua's room, but didn't see anyone there. He then went to see his son, but didn't see anyone there either. Finally, he came here, the room where Madam Taohua's children lived. When he saw me sitting at the door, he felt strange and a little embarrassed. He probably thought I was here to collect debts, and that he couldn't stand seeing that he had been close to Madam Taohua recently, so he came here to cause trouble.
But, in reality, of course, that's not what I came for.
He didn't expect that it had nothing to do with it. I told him, and after he knew the situation, he was shocked and gradually became angry. He didn't know why Madam Taohua wanted to leave, nor did he know why Madam Taohua refused to stay.
He was actually still a little sad, but sadness was nothing, especially compared to his anger. He asked people to go out and look for her, but they didn't find her. He could only hug his daughter and say, "Don't leave me like your mother did, otherwise I will never forgive you in my life."
I said beside her that she had gone out and came back, and the Marquis glared at me, as if he was afraid that I would say more, but what I said was the truth! Hahahaha.
The person he liked, no, the person he once liked was so despicable and selfish, extremely dirty. Later, he wandered outside without any dignity, dignity, beauty, or children, he had nothing, and he still got angry with me.
I don't know what he is pretending to be. It was obviously him who caused the woman to run away with the child. He was incapable of finding her, but he blamed me. It wasn't me who asked him to take a concubine before marrying a wife, nor was it me who asked him to have two women waiting for him at home when he was incapable. Does he think he is such a high-ranking official? It's funny."
Leyuan asked, "What happened next?"
The eldest lady blinked her eyes and said, "Later, we found Madam Taohua again. It is said that she was singing on the street and the Marquis was very angry. He immediately sent people to chase her away. But she was crazy and unwilling to come back. After being chased away several times, she finally stopped coming. We thought she was a little more obedient, but who would have thought that she would go to the Golden Palace later.
The matter has become too big to be covered up. Everyone knows that family disgrace should not be made public. However, this kind of thing is already known to everyone and there is nothing to hide. You have to know, and I have told you, if those people wanted to know, they could have colluded with each other a long time ago. There is nothing they don't know.
It’s really sad to talk about it, and it’s really heartbreaking to think about it!
She didn't win, so she came down. She was no longer in front of the emperor or on the high platform in the hall. We all felt relieved because there was nothing to scare her with, so we went to chase her. Suddenly, she became like a mouse that had opened its secrets. She squeaked and ran around everywhere and hid herself. Every time we tried to catch her, we couldn't. When we didn't try to catch her, she would appear and walk on the road in a daze.
It looks very unsightly.
We thought of a way. When she came out one day, we would chase her away. She would sometimes try to find a job on the street, but she had ruined our reputation. How could we give her a chance? Moreover, she was just a singer, not even as good as an opera singer. She was old now, her face was not pretty anymore, and she didn’t have all her children.
What are you afraid of?
We found her in a peach forest. She was almost cornered. We thought she would jump into the water again, but she didn't. She ran around in the forest but didn't escape. I don't know if she finally figured it out or what, but she came back. When she saw me, she looked at me with a straight face, which was a bit weird, as if she was dead. I said, you see, this is indeed a monster and a bad thing.
At that time, no one refuted what I said.
Madam Taohua didn't kill me! Even if she died, she would only have that little bit of foxy ability. I'm not afraid of her!
Who would have known that she had killed her son herself and buried him in the peach forest. When the Marquis was looking for her, he saw the son's grave. I beat her, but she refused to accept it and tore my clothes. I didn't like it, so I beat her again.
She fell to the ground, covered her face and started crying.
The Marquis came over and she raised her head, trying to take a look, perhaps thinking that she still had a chance to get protection or help.
But there was nothing.
Of course not! I am the legal wife. In front of me, the Marquis wants to protect a concubine, a concubine who ran away. What kind of thing is this? There are so many people around! Is this a slap in my face? I will not allow it.
The grave was dug up and the body was taken out. It had turned into bones. I couldn't remember clearly how long she had been away. I couldn't count it. I looked at the bones and thought to myself, this is the first time I have seen such a clear and complete child's body, and it was the body of a boy who had been dead for some time.
When I looked carefully, the Marquis was probably hurt by my attitude and was very angry, but he couldn't hit me, so he hit Xu Miaoman. Xu Miaoman was slapped and hit again, so she burst into tears and ran away. I felt that crying was not something she would do at this time, so I chased her with a group of people.
We caught up with her and she had already jumped into the lake again.
This time, she was completely dead and could not survive at all. Her body quickly became stiff. Although we did not see her jump into the water, we heard the sound and rushed over. We immediately reached the side and started to catch her. There was no time wasted. Who knew that she would die like this?
But this is normal. It's not the first time she jumped in. Maybe this time she fed herself something in advance just in case.
Sometimes, wanting to die but not being able to do so is a very scary thing, and you can tell from the way she looks.
I thought, we can't let her come back to life. Even though she's already dead, what if? Last time she jumped into the water, many people thought she was dead, but who knew, wasn't she brought back to life in the same way? And there were so many things going on.
I asked someone to bring a knife and scratch her face.
The Marquis asked me what I was doing at that time, he seemed shocked. I told him that Xu Miaoman was a vixen who relied on her good face to show off in front of countless people and then became complacent. I would not let her go, even if she died. Even if she died, the hatred she had for me when she was alive would still exist, and it could not be wiped out. I would disfigure this face.
In this way, whether in this life, the next life, or after death as a ghost, that vixen will not be any better. Her face must be rotten, for sure. Otherwise, why didn't she show up now? Why didn't she look at me straight in the face? Why didn't she tell you what she looks like? She didn't dare! She was inferior, she was afraid, she thought others would run away if they saw her face now!
Who wouldn't?
Even though she is as beautiful as a fairy now, people who see her will feel scared.
Because she is dead.
The dead should not come back to life, and the dead should not appear again, but she did all of that. Who can tolerate her?
Not even the Marquis, nor her daughter. How funny!
Her daughter is related to her by blood, so logically, their relationship should be very deep. However, the reality is not what others imagine.
You know what? When her daughter was very young, I wanted to have someone kill Xu Miaoman's son. At that time, her son was only a few years old. Although he was not as easy to kill as a baby, it was easier to deal with the body than a teenager. It's not that I didn't want to do it earlier, but I didn't know it before.
The people I sent came back soon and told me that Xu Miaoman was strangling the baby and seemed to want to kill him. They were frightened. "
