Chapter 193 Fatal Blow
Chapter 193 Fatal Blow
Gu Qinlian signaled to Yingxiang, who immediately opened the box in her hand. Inside were ten silver ingots, each weighing fifty taels, and the indenture was placed on top of the silver ingots.
Fuling showed a satisfied smile on her face. "Very good, Madam did not disappoint me, then let's start the transaction. I will count to three, and we will throw things to each other together, how about that?"
Gu Qinlian said impatiently: "What a hassle! Hurry up, finish the transaction and leave quickly. I don't want to stay in such an unlucky place any longer."
Fuling began to count down loudly: "One, two, three, throw!"
However, the moment the words fell, Fuling did not throw out the poison immediately, but waited for Yingxiang to throw something out first, and then threw the poison in his hand at the other party with confidence.
Both of them used all their strength, and the objects they threw landed not far away from each other.
When the box fell to the ground, the lid was shaken open and Fuling quickly squatted down to pick it up.
However, when she picked it up, she immediately discovered the problem.
The silver turned out to be fake!
She picked up the indenture contract again and saw that it was also forged!
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide open, and stared at Gu Qinlian: "You deceived me!"
After Yingxiang picked up the things, Gu Qinlian laughed wildly: "I didn't expect you to be so easily deceived and actually believe that I would succumb to your threats. Fuling, Fuling, the more you want to escape from the Ji family, the more I will not let you do so. I, the eldest daughter of the Gu family, can't get out of the quagmire, so how can you, an insignificant maid, get out of it! What's more, you dare to use me, what qualifications do you have!"
Unexpectedly, Fuling also laughed: "You said I'm easy to be deceived, but aren't you the same? Take a good look at that thing, is that really what you're looking for?"
Gu Qinlian's face suddenly changed color and she glanced nervously at the item in Yingxiang's hand.
Yingxiang also hurriedly checked the thing in her hand.
The results of this investigation were beyond our expectations.
Gu Qinlian was furious, his face was livid, and he shouted angrily: "Shameless man, how dare you lie to me!"
Fuling slammed the lid of the box to the ground, a sneer on her face: "You are not even half sincere. To be frank, I didn't deceive you. I just took some precautions to prevent your cunning. As long as the items you deliver are perfect, I will naturally fulfill my promise and let you get what you covet."
Gu Qinlian gritted her teeth in anger, staring at her with eyes as sharp as a venomous snake, "Hand over the things quickly, and I will give you the silver and the contract of sale."
Fuling snorted coldly: "Do you think I'm stupid? You are such an unpredictable person, I will never trust you again."
Gu Qinlian said in a cold and hard tone: "I am willing to double the money. If you insist on not complying, don't blame me for being ruthless. Let's just die together!"
Fuling was shaken: "But how can I make sure you won't cheat on me again?"
Gu Qinlian took out two silver bills from her sleeve and unfolded them in front of him: "These are silver bills from CITIC Bank, they can't be fake."
CITIC Money House was the largest financial institution in the Western Wei Kingdom. With the support of the imperial court, no one dared to forge its banknotes.
Fuling was relieved: "Okay, in that case, I will give the things to you."
After saying that, she turned and walked to the back of Madam Ji's grave, and began to grope in the weeds.
Just as she turned around to take out something, Gu Qinlian gave Yingxiang a wink, indicating that she should secretly get rid of Fuling.
Yingxiang shook her head desperately, feeling terrified.
How dare she!
Assisting Gu Qinlian in placing poison in Madam Ji's bedding had already made Yingxiang unable to sleep at night and terrified. Even if she was given a hundred times the courage to kill someone herself, she would not dare to do it.
Gu Qinlian threatened in a low voice: "What are you afraid of! Go quickly! Otherwise I will hand you over to the government immediately!"
Yingxiang almost cried out: "Girl, I really can't do it. I really don't dare."
Gu Qinlian pushed her impatiently and pushed her towards Fuling.
Yingxiang staggered towards Fuling, her heart full of struggle and helplessness. However, Fuling had already been alert, and when she heard footsteps rushing towards her, she turned around quickly, and the dagger in her hand flashed with a cold light.
"puff--"
The dagger sank into Yingxiang's abdomen without hesitation.
Yingxiang looked down at the handle of the knife exposed in her belly in disbelief, then turned back to look at Gu Qinlian.
Seeing this, Gu Qinlian's first reaction was to angrily scold her for being useless: "How could you be so stupid! I really raised you in vain!"
Yingxiang's heart was filled with sadness. This was the master she risked her life to protect.
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Yingxiang's body slowly fell down.
The world in front of her eyes gradually became blurred, and before she died, Yingxiang's heart was filled with regret.
If she had chosen to follow the eldest lady, she might have her own happiness like Fu Yu and Hong Ye...
With endless regret and remorse, Yingxiang closed her eyes forever.
Fuling was stunned by her own mistake. She looked at the blood on her hands, shocked and scared, and subconsciously wanted to escape.
However, just after he ran a few steps, Gu Qinlian pounced on him viciously.
"Want to escape?"
Gu Qinlian grabbed her hair and dragged her back roughly. "You are the first person who dares to provoke and threaten me like this. How can I let you go so easily? Die!"
She rode on Fuling and stretched out her hands viciously, ready to ruthlessly strangle Fuling's throat.
For a long time, Fuling was always a lowly maid, but the hardships of more than ten years made her strong and powerful. One day, she and Gu Qinlian got into a fierce fight.
Gu Qinlian, who grew up in luxury, knew little about the hardships of the world, so she was at a disadvantage in this conflict. But in a moment, she was subdued by Fuling, fell to the ground, and was suppressed by him.
Fuling's hatred for Gu Qinlian was like a raging fire, and once she had the opportunity to vent, she was merciless. She swung her fist and hit Gu Qinlian hard in the face, venting the anger that had accumulated over the years.
Gu Qinlian was beaten so hard that she saw stars. In a panic, she suddenly pulled out the jade hairpin on her head and stabbed Fuling's neck desperately. This move was the fatal blow she used on Fuling in her previous life.
Fuling had never expected Gu Qinlian to be so resolute. She covered her neck where blood was gushing out and gasped in pain.
Gu Qinlian gritted her teeth, pushed her over with a sneer, stood up, and kicked and beat Fuling mercilessly.
"You bitch, don't you think you are strong? Do you think I am easy to bully?"
"You deserve to die just as much as that old bitch lying in the grave!"
"I didn't make a move to get rid of you, but instead of being grateful, you tried to plot against me. Who gave you the courage?"
"I dared to get rid of that old bitch myself. How dare you, a mere maid, threaten me?"
She kicked and punched, venting her inner anger wildly.
At this moment, a thunderous roar suddenly came from behind: "Gu Qinlian, what did you just say! Explain your words to me clearly!"
Gu Qinlian was so frightened that she turned around and saw Ji Yinli standing there with a look of shock on his face.
"Husband, I...I..."
