C520 Encountering ghost in the middle of the night (1/2)
”Aunt Xiao, is this really how it is? Ruyue really had nowhere to go, so I could only beg. If you want me to kneel, I … I … ” Lian Ruyue's eyes turned red; unexpectedly, they were sparkling with tears.
As Auntie Xiao watched, she felt even more relieved, as if all the grievances she had suffered in the past few days had been greatly relieved.
After waiting for a while longer, seeing that Lian Xiyue didn't intend to kneel down and beg for forgiveness, Madam Xiao's gaze flickered slightly. She thought to herself that even if she were to focus on her emotions, she would only feel vented and wouldn't help her in any way.
Thinking up to here, she restrained herself and said in her heart:
”Lian Ruyue, if you can make my Ya Er the main wife of the 4th Prince, I will tell your father that I deliberately wronged your mother in order to drag her down with me.”
”If that's the case, you won't survive either.” Lian Ruyue said.
”Heh.” She tried her best to hold on, but her gaze was slightly burning as she said, ”Using my life in exchange for Ya'er, a principal concubine of the Fourth Princess, is also worth it. Moreover, you were the one who fought for her, it's not a loss.”
”But, Esteemed Empress Dowager Xiao has overestimated me. Firstly, the fourth prince's first wife is your niece Xiao Rou, and secondly, the empress dowager and the emperor must decide on the position of first wife. I, a small county lord, can't squeeze away Xiao Rou. I'll support third sister.” Lian Ruyue's face seemed to be troubled.
”You can, because you are Lian Ri Yue. ”Besides …” Auntie Xiao looked at her with a jealous gaze. ”Isn't there still Ninth Prince?” If you can't do it, then the Ninth Prince can. ”
”…” Lian Ruyue looked at Auntie Xiao with a complicated expression. ”I'm not sure.”
”Two days. I'll give you two days. If you don't act within those two days, then the negotiations between us will have broken down. Your mother will be waiting for death. You have more experience with your father's suspicious personality than I do.”
After Aunt Xiao finished speaking, she turned around and returned to the direction of the west yard.
Lian Ru Yue looked at her back and hastily took a step forward. ”Aunt Xiao, I beg you, please let my mother go!” The voice sounded desperate.
Auntie Xiao did not turn her head, but revealed a cold smile at the corner of her lips — —
Lian Ruyue, it's finally your turn to be anxious.
Unfortunately … It was a pity that they had arrived too late. Had they arrived earlier, she and Ya Er wouldn't have ended up in such a state. Aunt Xiao clenched her fists tightly and walked along the corridor step by step. Her heart was filled with a long period of sorrow.
Her head was already light, and now that she felt such grief and indignation, she felt even more dizzy and weak. She simply stopped and leaned against the mountain rock.
At this moment, Aunt Xiao suddenly discovered that behind the fake mountain in front of her, there was a flickering flame. In the dark night, it seemed somewhat strange. Her heart skipped a beat and she could faintly hear sobbing sounds coming from behind the fake mountain.
She was shocked, but she still dared to walk in, so she could hear the voice clearly.
”Celestial beauty, celestial grace, rest in peace. Mother knows that you are feeling wronged, and Mother would love to tear that criminal to pieces. However, Mother is powerless to do anything. Celestial beauty, you should reincarnate.”
The person who was crying and talking turned out to be Aunt Su. She was burning paper money with Sixth Miss Lian and Xue Qiao. It seemed that Aunt Su was very ill …
”Fifth Sister, Mother's health isn't good. Don't come back and disturb Mother again. Go find the person who harmed you. Little Sister has come to burn paper money for you.” The one kneeling beside Aunt Su was Sixth Miss Lian Xueqiao. She looked the same as the dead Lian Xian. It was born by Aunt Su. She was burning paper money as she spoke.
When Aunt Xiao heard this, she suddenly felt her scalp go numb.
