Chapter 316: The noble moon in the sky, the puppet under the transaction

Ji Qingwu turned her face and lowered his eyes. The coldness in his eyes made Su Daiyue tremble.

"How many women has your father looked at with this kind of eyes?"

Su Daiyue's pupils suddenly contracted.

Ji Qingwu's lips opened and closed: "Has he looked at you like this too?"

Su Daiyue vomited with a loud noise. There was no food in her stomach, only yellow medicine and bile.

Ji Qingwu stepped back and found a copper basin with clean water on the shelf in the corner of the room. She washed her fingers slowly and methodically.

Su Daiyue's throat was corroded by vomit and became unpleasantly hoarse.

"I know you're a good person, you'll help me, right?"

The sound of washing hands answered her. Su Daiyue said in a strange tone: "Your pair of pure and compassionate eyes make me feel so pitiful when I see them."

Su Daiyue rolled her eyes up and stared at the pattern on the top of the bed curtain.

"But father will like it. He likes girls who are noble and pure like the moon in the sky, just like he liked me in the beginning."

As Su Daiyue spoke, she began to laugh, but her smile was uglier than crying.

There was clearly heat in her eyes, but there was not a single tear. This feeling of being unable to vent made Su Daiyue feel suffocated.

She tried to open her eyes wide, loosened her grip on the bed curtains, and instead pounded her chest hard.

"Wei Tongyou."

Ji Qingwu raised his eyelids, saw her movements, and shouted to the outside of the door.

Wei Tongyou quickly flashed in and glared at Ji Qingwu, seemingly dissatisfied with her calling her by her full name.

"Find a rope and tie her up."

Only then did Wei Tongyou see that Su Daiyue had torn open the clothes on her chest, and the skin she scratched was oozing blood.

She stepped forward, but she kept asking, "Why don't you go by yourself? Why ask me to come?"

Ji Qingwu leaned against the window opposite the bed: "Of course I'm not as skilled as you, nor as strong as you."

Wei Tongyou snorted, feeling unhappy but not delaying his work, and quickly tied the man up.

Ji Qingwu took out a sky blue porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket, poured out the colorful pills, and picked out a green one.

"Give this to her to eat."

Wei Tongyou looked at the emerald green ball and frowned, "Even if you don't get along with her, you can't poison her."

Ji Qingwu raised his eyebrows and said, "She's almost dead, why would I need to poison her?"

Su Daiyue's state seemed to be in chaos, his limbs were tied tightly to the bed, his forehead was covered with sweat, and the tendons in his neck were obviously stretched.

Ji Qingwu handed the medicine to Wei Tongyou and explained, "This is not poison, it's an anesthetic that temporarily makes her lose her sense of pain."

When he heard that it was anesthetic, Wei Tongyou's eyes lit up.

If this pill were given to soldiers on the battlefield, wouldn't it be of great use?

Ji Qingwu urged: "Feed it to her quickly."

Wei Tongyou muttered: "Since she is almost dying, why are you still giving her this medicine? It's a waste." But he still stuffed the medicine into Su Daiyue's mouth.

Ji Qingwu said: "She has been tortured enough. Before she dies, please give her some dignity."

The medicine took effect quickly. Su Daiyue's body relaxed and her breathing returned to normal rhythm.

Ji Qingwu walked over and picked up the hairpin that was placed beside the bed.

"I will go to the Su Mansion."

It was not for her, but to verify her thoughts. If it was true, Su Fengyue would be guilty of this crime deserved death.

As if she heard what Ji Qingwu said, tears welled up in Su Daiyue's dry eyes, but even with the water covering them, her eyes began to turn gray and could no longer focus.

Ji Qingwu's voice floated lightly and drifted into her ears.

"Do you have anything else to say, anyone you want me to bring it to?"

Su Daiyue's face was pale and she lay lifeless on the bed.

"No need for that. My whole life, I have been a puppet in the power-for-sex trade."

Ji Qingwu looked at her quietly.

Su Daiyue's eyes were dim, but there seemed to be a kaleidoscope in his mind.

"My aunt was once the most favored concubine in the family, but she became insane two years after giving birth to me. However, I was not treated harshly because of this. My father was very good to his children. I was raised by my wet nurse."

Wei Tongyou crossed his arms, which was a common thing among aristocratic families.

Regardless of whether anyone was listening or not, Su Daiyue continued to speak.

"As I grew older, I looked more and more like my aunt. I noticed that the way my father looked at me had changed. It was like he cherished me, like he was crazy about me. He also took better care of me than before. When my father went out to have banquets at his private house in the suburbs, he would bring me with him. My sisters at home were all envious of me."

Su Daiyue sneered: "Until one day, my father was drunk and was helped to his room to rest. I wanted to go back home because I had my period for the first time, so I went to find my father at a loss. But I unexpectedly ran into a man who should have been drunk and unconscious in the room, soberly holding down a girl who was about my age, and..."

She said with difficulty: "He was still calling Yue'er..."

As Su Daiyue said this, her teeth were shaking.

Wei Tongyou clenched his fists and threw two hooks into the air.

Ji Qingwu frowned and felt stuffy in his heart.

Not only did I empathize with Su Daiyue's description, but I also thought of a woman who had suffered the same thing.

Unlike Su Daiyue who was watching from the window, she was actually hurt.

"Since then, I have pretended to be sick to avoid contact with my father, but every time he looks at me, it reminds me of the scene at that time. Later, I learned how my aunt went crazy. She was taken out by my father to a banquet, but she was taken to serve other high officials."

"Do you know what it feels like to be a piece of merchandise that can be sent out at any time, rather than a person?"

"I'm afraid I'll become the second concubine... I thought I could control my own destiny after leaving the Su family and getting married, but it was all a foolish dream."

"Before my father told me to go east, I didn't dare to go west. Now I can decide my own life and death. I am so happy..."

Su Daiyue smiled and closed her eyes, tears flowing from the corners of her eyes to her ears.

"You want to die, but it's not that easy!"

Song Wei broke the silence in the room. He rushed back from somewhere, one of his boots was missing, and he was holding a small jar in his hand.

He pulled the person out of bed and said, "You will be fine if you eat it."

Wei Tongyou took a look at the jar and hid behind Ji Qingwu in fear.

It's rare that this girl is afraid of something, Ji Qingwu turned around and looked at her.

"What are you afraid of?"

Wei Tongyou whispered: "Song Wei looks like a normal person, why is he behaving so crazy?"

Ji Qingwu asked: "What did you find? What's in the jar?"

Wei Tongyou said: "It's the ashes of a dead person."

"No way, it looks like just a clay jar."

Wei Tongyou said, "The urns in the coffin cemetery are all of this style. I've seen it many times, so I'm sure it's correct."

Ji Qingwu frowned and said, "But I see there is still red inside..."
