Chapter 276: Aunt Zhong Beats Xiao Kang and Escapes
Chapter 276: Aunt Zhong Beats Xiao Kang and Escapes
Did Su Lanbin really drown?
Xiaokang's hand holding the snack shook and a piece of mung bean cake fell down.
But old Mrs. Kang didn't think much about it. She just frowned and looked unhappy.
At her age, the word she hated to hear the most was "death", especially since there had been a series of deaths in the mansion recently, which made her feel very unlucky.
"How could she drown out of nowhere? Are all the maids serving her dead?" Old Mrs. Kang said in a serious tone, frowning.
Nanny Ji opened her mouth and wanted to say that she didn't see the maidservant beside the Ninth Miss when she fell into the water. But then she thought that if she said that, wouldn't it be telling the Old Madam that the Second Madam was there at the time but did nothing to help!
Forget it! Let’s not talk about it. No one saw it anyway.
"Madam, Aunt Zhong is here."
"What is she doing here?" Xiao Kang said unhappily. Since her daughter was dead, she should just clean her up and bury her. Why did she come here?
Just as she was thinking, she heard Aunt Zhong crying outside: "Second Madam, you are so cruel! Why didn't you think of sending someone to save Lan Bin when she fell into the water? You just watched her drown!"
Xiaokang stood up quickly, but because he was too frightened, he accidentally knocked over the sweet soup he was drinking.
"Nonsense!" Xiaokang said hurriedly, but her tone was not so confident.
Old Kang immediately understood what Young Kang had done and was very angry.
How could she have such a hopelessly stupid niece? If the bastard had fallen into the water, it would have been fine if she had not rescued him. She would have just assumed that she was doing it for her own son, fearing that the bastard would take advantage of her son in the future.
But Su Lanbin is a concubine's daughter. When she grows up, she can be married off to form an alliance with the Marquis's Mansion. Is it necessary to be so petty as to watch her die without helping her?
"Aunt, don't listen to her nonsense. She is wrongly accusing me. I didn't even know Su Lanbin fell into the water." Xiaokang immediately retorted.
There was no one around at the time, so who knows what she saw.
Old Mrs. Kang ignored her and walked out directly, while Young Mrs. Kang followed in a panic.
After the two walked out, they saw Aunt Zhong kneeling on the ground with red eyes crying.
As soon as she saw Old Kang coming out, she immediately prostrated herself and cried loudly, "Madam, please help me. My daughter is so young. She just went out to play for a while and she turned into a cold corpse."
"Second Madam, why didn't you save her? Did you throw her into the water? Lan Bin is also your concubine's daughter, is your heart made of stone? In the past, you didn't give us mother and son food to eat, and didn't allow doctors to see us, but why do you want to kill my daughter now? Tell me!"
Aunt Zhong cried and wailed, and her voice was so clear that all the servants and old women in Rong'an Hall heard it.
"You're talking nonsense. Who pushed her? It was clearly she who fell into the water by herself." Xiaokang immediately retorted. She couldn't let Aunt Zhong make random statements to accuse her of a crime.
After hearing what she said, Mrs. Kang was so angry that her hands were shaking!
Idiots are idiots, there is no cure.
"Shut up!" Old Kang glared at her, then looked at Aunt Zhong with a serious expression and said coldly:
"Mrs. Zhong, your daughter was naughty and accidentally fell into the water and drowned. It's a pity, but as a mother, you should also remember not to casually involve irrelevant people. Go back. I will just pretend that you have never been to Rong'an Hall."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhong suddenly looked up with disbelief on her face, but the next moment, her tears rolled down and she suddenly started laughing.
"Haha! Hahaha..."
"Auntie, get up quickly!"
The maid who served Aunt Zhong hurriedly helped the person up.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Kang felt a chill on her back. What did Aunt Zhong want to do?
"Give my daughter her life!"
Aunt Zhong suddenly rushed towards Xiaokang.
Bang!
Xiaokang was knocked over and her lower back hit the door frame hard, causing her to scream in pain.
Aunt Zhong rode on Xiaokang's body and whipped her left and right, leaving a lot of afterimages with her hands. Aunt Zhong showed no mercy and vented all the grievances she had suffered in the second house of the Marquis' Mansion over the years.
Ever since she recovered from her illness, she has listened to Su Qingwan's advice and exercised every morning and evening. Now she is much stronger than before.
So after two slaps, Xiaokang felt dizzy and had nosebleeds.
Old Kang was startled by this sudden scene and shouted, "Quick, pull them away!"
Aunt Zhong was pulled away, but she was still like a madman, wanting to continue beating Xiao Kang, and kept muttering: "Give me back my daughter!"
Anyone who saw this situation would feel scared. Old Kang waved her hand and said, "Take her away quickly and lock her up in Lixiangyuan. Don't let her come out again."
The maids who were holding Aunt Zhong immediately took her away.
Xiaokang cried so sadly that her face, waist and heart hurt.
"Kill her, I must kill her!" she wailed.
Old Mrs. Kang looked at her with disdain.
"You just received the news that the second brother is coming back today, and you can't wait to attack them and their daughter. What are you thinking?"
"Aunt, I really didn't do that!"
Xiaokang endured the pain and let Nanny Ji and others help her up, but after trying several times, she found that she had no strength in her legs.
"Why can't I stand up?" she said in panic.
Old Kang also noticed something was wrong and hurriedly said, "Go get a doctor."
A maid immediately went to ask Doctor Guo to come.
Xiaokang was also carried into the house.
On the other side, Aunt Zhong returned to Lixiangyuan and saw Su Qingwan waiting for her.
"Go change your clothes."
Su Qingwan handed her a set of men's clothes that she had prepared long ago.
After a while, Aunt Zhong came out dressed as a man. She walked in front of Su Qingwan, bent her knees and knelt down.
"Fourth Miss, I am afraid I will never be able to repay your kindness in this lifetime. I will wait for the next life and serve you like a slave."
After she finished speaking, she kowtowed three times to Su Qingwan.
Su Qingwan also had many feelings and was willing to help the mother and daughter because she knew very well how difficult it was to be a concubine's daughter, especially in the cannibalistic hell of the Marquis' Mansion. The mother and daughter had no ability to resist and had to leave as soon as possible.
Su Qingwan helped the man up and said with a smile: "Mo Nan is a good place. You and your ninth sister will live a good life when you go there."
She chose many places, and finally decided that it would be most appropriate to send the mother and daughter to Mo'nan, which was far away from the capital, and they could live a peaceful and stable life there.
And with the Jiang family taking care of them, their livelihood will not be a problem.
"Yes!" Aunt Zhong nodded heavily.
Su Qingwan asked Qing Er to take her out, and her ninth sister and the things they needed for the journey had already been sent out.
Aunt Zhong looked back every few steps and cried with all her heart. She might never see him again in her life...
"Light the fire!"
Su Qingwan also left.
The next moment, flames suddenly broke out and gradually engulfed the entire Lixiangyuan.
"There's a fire, there's a fire, there's a fire in Rikain!"
"Old Madam, Second Madam, Aunt Zhong couldn't accept the fact that Miss Nine was dead, so she set fire to Lixiang Courtyard and died inside."
When flames filled the sky, the news of Aunt Zhong's death was delivered to Rong'an Hall.
Old Kang was shocked!
It would have been fine if that bitch had just died, but she actually had the guts to set fire to Lixiangyuan. Wouldn’t everything inside have been burned as well?
What a bastard!
