Chapter 332: Playing the Pig to Eat the Tiger Instead of Fighting the Rock with an Egg
In the dilapidated courtyard, there stood an old woman and a little girl. The little girl was holding the wooden basin in which Bai Ning had burned paper money last night.
"I know you are in there, come out quickly." With another stern shout, Su Yue took a few steps towards the door. Through the shabby wooden door, she vaguely saw an old woman in dark green clothes standing outside.
Judging from the voice and figure, it was obviously not the person who dissuaded Bai Ning last night.
"Who is she and how should I deal with her?" Su Yue looked at Bai Ning and found that as the shouting outside grew louder, Bai Ning's face looked increasingly uglier.
"She is Madam Liu, the wet nurse of the legitimate daughter of Qinyan Villa. She is the one who bullies me the most. But she has Bai Fei's support, so I can't do anything to her."
Bai Fei is, of course, the legitimate daughter of the owner of the manor, and the eldest lady that everyone loves.
Bai Ning smiled bitterly, then signaled Su Yue to hide away, and she was going to open the door to go out.
"What do you want me to do?" Su Yue put his right hand on Bai Ning's hand that was about to open the door and asked again.
"I want her to die. Can you do it?" Bai Ning listened to the shouting and cursing outside getting closer and closer, and smiled bitterly. She was sure that she would not be able to escape the beating today.
"If you want, she won't survive today, so do you really want her to die in your yard?" Su Yue responded to Bai Ning's words very seriously, and his tone was not a joke.
After all, if this wet nurse really died in the courtyard of the concubine's daughter, who has always been unwelcome, even if she had nothing to do with the concubine's daughter, she would still be framed and used by someone with ulterior motives.
"Then I want to turn her into a lunatic, a fool who doesn't know anything." Bai Ning looked at Su Yue, and she obviously understood what Su Yue meant.
"I'll do as you wish." Su Yue looked at Bai Ning, smiled softly, then let go of her hand, signaling Bai Ning that she could go out.
With the creaking sound of the wooden door, the shouting and cursing outside stopped. Mother Liu was seen standing at the door of Bai Ning's room, ready to kick the door open.
"You dare to come out. I thought you were hiding." When Mother Liu saw Bai Ning, she put down her raised foot and spoke with contempt.
Su Yue stood behind the door, looking at the position of Mother Liu at this time, and found that Mother Liu was only separated from her by a broken wooden door.
Su Yue looked twice more and found the perfect position.
Bai Ning just stood opposite Liu's mother without saying a word. Long-term bullying and oppression had already smoothed her edges. Even if she wanted to resist now, she subconsciously endured it.
"You are dumb, you are the one who burns the paper money, right? You think of ways to burn paper money during these days every year, or am I not beating you enough?"
When Mother Liu saw that she had talked for a while but Bai Ning didn't say a word, she became angry and snatched the basin for burning paper money from the maid beside her and was about to throw it at Bai Ning.
When Bai Ning saw Mother Liu's actions, she was so scared that she covered her head and eyes.
There was only a "bang" sound, but the familiar pain did not come. Bai Ning moved her hand away in confusion, only to see that Mother Liu, who was full of energy just now, had fallen to the ground. The sound just now was the sound of the wooden basin for burning paper falling to the ground.
Mother Liu fell to the ground with foam coming out of her mouth, her body twitching continuously. The black ash from the burning paper money in the basin was scattered all over her body and was rubbed all over the ground by her.
Bai Ning looked inside the door in confusion, only to see Su Yue holding a silver needle in her left hand and pointing at Mother Liu and her own head with her right hand. Then she spoke silently to Bai Ning and said a word.
Bai Ning immediately understood that it must be Su Yue who did this to Mrs. Liu.
Su Yue looked at Mother Liu who was lying on the ground. She looked very much like Mother Yun from the countryside, so she did not show any mercy when she attacked her just now.
"Ghost!" Bai Ning screamed, then rushed into the house as if she was very scared and slammed the door shut.
That’s right, what Su Yue just said to her was the word "ghost".
Su Yue wanted Bai Ning to blame everything on something invisible and intangible, and since there was no evidence, others couldn't do anything to her at least on the surface.
The little girl at the side finally reacted. She hurried forward and tried to help up Mother Liu, who was foaming at the mouth. However, Mother Liu seemed to be growing on the ground, and the girl was so thin that she couldn't move at all.
So she thought about it, decisively left Mother Liu in the yard, and ran to find someone for help.
At this time, Su Yue opened the door and walked out. She found the silver needle inserted into Liu's mother's head, pulled it out neatly, and then gave her a few more stitches.
Mother Liu's eyes gradually became dull, and finally she laughed as if she were idiot. Then she sat on the ground, grinning foolishly and playing with the black ashes from the burnt paper money that had already stuck to the ground.
Seeing this, Su Yue stopped and slipped back into the room. Bai Ning saw all of this, and she naturally understood that this woman named Su Yue should be a doctor with extremely high medical skills.
Not long after, Mother Liu, who had been smiling foolishly, was carried away by the people called by the girl, and the shabby courtyard became quiet again.
"Bai Ning, is this kind of revenge more satisfying than dying a cowardly death?" Su Yue looked at Bai Ning and asked, only to see Bai Ning lying on the shabby door, watching the actions outside.
"Thank you, Su Yue." Bai Ning turned around and looked at Su Yue. It was the first time she smiled since her biological mother's death in so many years. It turned out that the feeling of revenge was so good. It was a pity that she didn't do it herself.
"You may be called in for questioning later. After all, from what you said, Mrs. Liu should have a very good relationship with Bai Fei. It's impossible that she won't come to question you when something so serious happens."
Su Yue nodded slightly and helped Bai Ning analyze.
"The worst that can happen is a beating. After all, his blood is on my body. He won't beat me to death." The "he" that Bai Ning was referring to was naturally the owner of Qinyan Villa.
After listening to Bai Ning's words, Su Yue looked at her with a complicated look.
"Look, he beat me all over." Bai Ning noticed Su Yue's gaze, so she rolled up her sleeves. It was already bright outside, so Su Yue could see clearly.
All I could see were blue and purple bruises all over his thin arms, which looked extremely scary. Even Xiao He gasped when she saw it.
"Actually, I sometimes wonder, if you hate me so much, why don't you just beat me to death." Bai Ning heard Xiao He's gasp, so he put down his sleeves and said dejectedly.
"Bai Ning, if you want revenge, you must first learn how to use people, and then find ways to improve your status, so that those who have offended you before will be afraid to take action."
Su Yue looked at Bai Ning and spoke carefully. The current Bai Ning was very similar to herself when she had just returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was just that she was luckier at that time because she had Nanxing and medical skills, but the Bai Ning in front of her really had nothing.
"Then what should I do?" Bai Ning looked at Su Yue in confusion. Over the years, no matter whether she had done anything wrong or not, her father would always side with Bai Fei. She was already tired of explaining, as he would just get her beaten anyway.
"Bai Ning, when you are not as good as others, you must learn to show weakness and retaliate when you become stronger. This is all I can say. The rest depends on your own understanding."
Su Yue looked at Bai Ning and spoke earnestly again.
"Showing weakness, eh?" Bai Ning softly repeated Su Yue's words, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"Second Miss, the master is calling you over." At this time another servant's voice was heard, and a sarcastic smile appeared on Bai Ning's face.
"Got it. I'll be there right away." Bai Ning said and looked at Su Yue and smiled again, but there was a lot of helplessness in her smile.
"Remember, you have to show weakness, pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger instead of fighting against the stone with an egg. As you said, you have the blood of the owner of the manor in your body, which is your support. Also, this time you want to bite to death, it is the 'ghost' who did it, not you."
Su Yue spoke softly, she could only help her temporarily, not forever, it would be best if she could figure it out on her own.
Not long after Bai Ning left, Shangguan Nanxing and Ruofeng also returned here after finding out more.
