Chapter 2061 Harmful
Chapter 2061 Harmful
The angry roar from the lady made many people who were blocking Niu Jinzhi stick their heads out and look at the scene in surprise and doubt.
I thought the mistress wanted to teach the concubine a lesson, but I didn't expect her to accuse the concubine of harming others?
Just when everyone was confused, Niu Jinzhi calmed down and glared at the wife of the official: "Madam, although I am a lowly concubine, you can't let me take the blame for murder!"
"Oh, why should I frame you? You have killed so many people, don't you know it?" As she said this, under the shocked gazes of everyone, the lady took out a list.
She glanced at Niu Jinzhi, who looked nervous, and calmly read out the names on the list one by one, even including the methods of death...
"Liu Ruyan, do you still want to deny it?"
Hearing these names, Niu Jinzhi panicked and took a few steps back subconsciously: "I don't understand what the lady is saying..."
"Is this true or not? It seems that the Li family in the east really lost their child a few days ago."
"It's the same with Old Wang's family. His daughter-in-law died and two people were killed."
"And the Song family, the whole family is gone..."
Thinking of the people who suddenly died unexpectedly during this period, everyone looked at Niu Jinzhi with malicious eyes, and wondered whether she was the one who harmed people.
After all, these people are all on the list of the lady of the mansion!
But Niu Jinzhi knew that she could not plead guilty. Once she pleaded guilty, she would be completely finished.
Thinking of this, Niu Jinzhi put on a pitiful look, tears in her eyes, and knelt on the ground miserably: "Madam, mistress, I admit that I have seen these people, but their deaths have nothing to do with me."
"You can't say that I killed that person just because I saw him, right?" Niu Jinzhi's tone was full of grievance. She knelt down and crawled to the feet of the lady and tried to pull her dress.
But the wife of the official disliked her dirtiness and subconsciously avoided her. She raised her foot and kicked her to the ground: "Do you think I will believe you? There is no place in my official residence for such a vicious woman."
"Someone, get her out of here."
"Yes, ma'am!"
At the order given by the lady of the mansion, several servants rushed forward viciously, dragged Niu Jinzhi and threw her out of the door.
Niu Jinzhi fell on the sedan chair and lost her balance, so she rolled off the sedan chair in a panic. She cried heartbreakingly.
"Master, Master, your concubine is going to be beaten to death. The mistress is bullying us." Niu Jinzhi cried and screamed, but after shouting for a long time, the master did not show up.
She realized that she was abandoned. She turned around and saw Wan Shufang next to the wife of the official. She gritted her teeth and said, "Wan Shufang, it's Wan Shufang again. Why does she always do bad things?"
"You little bitch, you dare to glare at the madam, you're looking for death." The old woman roared angrily, thinking that Niu Jinzhi was glaring at the lady's wife, so she pounced on her again, grabbed her and slapped her.
Niu Jinzhi was beaten black and blue. She found an opportunity, pushed the old woman away, picked up her wedding dress, and ran away in shame, without even saying a harsh word before leaving.
The farce ended, and the people around had seen enough of the excitement and dispersed. It was not until the surroundings became quiet that the lady took Wan Shufang's hand and said sincerely: "Thank you, madam. If it weren't for your help in identifying the person, my mansion would have welcomed a jinx into the house."
When the master wanted to take in a concubine, although she was angry at his kindness to the concubine, she didn't care because she was still the mistress after all.
But after seeing the evidence given by Wan Shufang, he suddenly became unwilling to let Niu Jinzhi in, for fear of causing unrest in the family.
Seeing the lady's sincere thanks, Wan Shufang smiled and nodded, politely responding, "It was only because of your decisiveness that you were able to fight back."
The two chatted idly and complimented each other.
At the same time, Niu Jinzhi returned to Yihong Courtyard in a state of embarrassment, but was stopped by the gatekeepers. The two men seemed to not know her and said in a serious tone: "Miss, this is Yihong Courtyard, outsiders are not allowed to enter."
"How dare you! I'm the most beautiful girl in there!" Niu Jinzhi was very angry. She had never suffered such an injustice before.
Just as he was about to scold the two servants again, he saw the madam coming out.
"Ruyan, how can you, a married woman, return to Yihong Courtyard?"
"But..." Niu Jinzhi wanted to say that she was kicked out, but she saw the madam waving her hands impatiently and said calmly: "Hurry up and leave. I don't want a courtesan like you in my Yihongyuan."
"Ruyan, for the sake of our past friendship, don't force me to kick you out."
After the madam finished speaking in a cold voice, she twisted her waist and went in, leaving Niu Jinzhi alone, standing there in a daze, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
Unable to return to Yihongyuan, she could only wander around the streets, feeling dispirited.
A man recognized her as the courtesan and started to touch her with a lewd smile. Unfortunately, Niu Jinzhi was unable to resist and was taken advantage of in the street.
A drizzle began to fall from the sky and people hurried back. Soon, she was the only one left on the street. Niu Jinzhi squatted in the corner, hugging her knees and crying in grievance.
"Why, why do you treat me like this? I didn't do anything. I just wanted to make my life easier. What's wrong with that?"
Until now, Niu Jinzhi still hasn't realized her mistake.
Tears mixed with raindrops kept dripping onto the ground. Her body was completely wet. The heavy wedding dress made it almost impossible for her to breathe. She didn't know how long she had been crying. Suddenly, a shadow appeared above her head.
Niu Jinzhi sobbed and looked up. Seeing Feng Huairen, she was slightly stunned, then she stood up and hugged him: "Mr. Feng, you, you are finally here. Those people bullied me..."
Hearing this, Feng Huairen froze and pulled her away calmly: "Let's go first. There are too many people here, it's not a place to talk."
As he said this, he threw an umbrella to Niu Jinzhi and walked ahead.
Seeing that he seemed to be avoiding her, Niu Jinzhi bit her lip, feeling a little unwilling, but still picked up the umbrella and followed him.
Now, Feng Huairen is her only hope.
Feng Huairen took Niu Jinzhi away and brought them to a country road. When there was no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to comfort her: "Ruyan, I know you have been wronged."
"Don't cry, I went to rescue you as soon as I learned about the situation."
As he spoke, he reached out, held her in his arms, and patted her back gently to comfort her.
At this moment, the rain had lightened a little. Niu Jinzhi threw down her umbrella and burst into tears without caring about anything.
"Mr. Feng, I thought I would never see you again."
"Don't cry, I'll take you back now. From now on, you can stay in the house with peace of mind."
Feng Huairen sighed with a complicated expression. It was not that he felt sorry for Niu Jinzhi, but he felt a little regretful that he had lost a chess piece.
After Niu Jinzhi cried for a long time, he took his people back.
But as soon as he opened the door, he saw Chen Changli and a group of soldiers waiting in the yard.
