Chapter 302 Zhou Lingfu commits suicide
Zhou Lingfu originally thought that things had come to this point and Zhou Lingyi should have no way to defend himself.
After all, if a woman of marriageable age does not talk about marriage and stays with a man all day long, she must have other intentions.
This is such an obvious truth, no need to explain it in detail, anyone can understand it.
But she didn't expect that Zhou Lingyi was still trying to turn the tables at this time.
Zhou Lingyi looked even more aggrieved when she heard Zhou Lingfu's words. She covered her face with a handkerchief and sobbed a few times. Then she said to Zhou Lingfu indignantly:
"Zhou Lingfu, do you have any conscience? For so many years, I respected you as my cousin, but what do you think of me? Don't you know why I haven't arranged a marriage?"
"Ever since you did that shameful thing at Grandmother's birthday party, you've ruined the reputation of the mansion and implicated me. I imagine the suitors coming to us are either drunkards or widowers whose wives have died."
"Do I deserve to spend my days looking for men in brothels or becoming someone's stepmother?"
"I am also a girl from a good family. I also want to marry a man of outstanding talent and appearance and live in harmony with him. Am I wrong?"
"But you've ruined all of this. Don't I even have the right to refuse now?"
"Do you really want me to be in that situation?"
Zhou Lingyi almost shouted the last sentence.
Her body was shaking, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked really heartbroken.
What Zhou Lingyi said was three parts true and seven parts false.
The affair between Zhou Lingfu and Prince An did have some impact on Zhou Lingyi's marriage, but it was not as exaggerated as she said.
At the beginning, there were indeed some foolish young men who wanted to take advantage of the situation to rob the house, but they were all driven out by the old lady of the Yongning Earl's Mansion.
Later, Concubine Zhou in the palace rewarded the Yongning Marquis' Mansion with several pieces of high-quality fabrics. Everyone then realized that even though the Yongning Marquis' Mansion had become a topic of conversation after dinner, with Concubine Zhou's support, they could not casually bring it up, and gradually the matter calmed down.
Of course, Zhou Lingyi didn't take these changes seriously. She had never thought about marrying someone else from the beginning to the end, so naturally she didn't care much.
She brought this up just to make Lin Xiyan believe her more.
Lin Xiyan was indeed a little indecisive. Every time she was about to believe Zhou Lingfu, Zhou Lingyi would always come up with other reasons to make her waver, and what she said seemed to make a lot of sense.
For a moment, Lin Xiyan really didn't know who to believe.
"You...bitch! You're lying!" Zhou Lingfu stared at Zhou Lingyi in astonishment, watching him speak eloquently and put the matter back on track in just a few words.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Lingyi immediately looked at her and kindly admonished her, "Concubine Zhou, truth will come to light sooner or later. Your few words won't change the truth. Please don't continue to deceive Sister Lin."
"If you have any ideas, please tell me and I will do my best to help you. But if you still insist on not changing your ways, don't blame me for not considering our sisterly love and letting you fend for yourself in Prince An's mansion."
When Lin Xiyan heard this, she nodded subconsciously.
This action angered Zhou Lingfu, as she thought Lin Xiyan had completely believed Zhou Lingyi's words.
She began to struggle towards Zhou Lingyi, her face twisted. "Bitch! Bitch! You're talking nonsense! I'm going to rip your mouth apart!"
I don’t know if it was because Zhou Lingfu’s action was too sudden, the maids who were holding her hands were caught off guard for a moment and she actually broke free.
With her hands free, Zhou Lingfu suddenly rushed towards Zhou Lingyi. In full view of everyone, she took out a dagger with a cold glow from somewhere and was about to stab Zhou Lingyi.
"Zhou Lingyi, bitch! You've brought me to this point. Go to hell!"
"Ahhhh-"
The sharp blade cut through clothes and flesh, and a few drops of blood splashed onto the dirty face.
Zhou Lingfu's brows furrowed as she failed to stab the desired spot. She was about to stab again, but the guards of Prince An's Mansion did not give her the chance.
More than a dozen guards filed in as she made the first stab, separating Prince An and his men from Zhou Lingfu.
Zhou Lingyi leaned against Caiwei, holding his shoulder that was bleeding profusely. He gasped in pain, beads of sweat the size of beans sliding down his forehead, but he couldn't stop feeling afraid.
Just now, it was almost there, just a little bit.
If she had not reacted in time and dodged to the side, Zhou Lingfu would have stabbed her heart instead of her shoulder.
If she faced the stab in the heart, she would surely die!
Zhou Lingfu really wanted to kill her!
Realizing this, Zhou Lingyi's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. She said with lingering fear, "She's crazy! She's really crazy!"
"Catch him quickly!" Zhou Lingyi yelled at the guards.
Then he looked at Lin Xiyan, who was already stunned and protected behind him, and said, "Sister Lin, you should finally believe what I said now, right? She is really crazy, and she is very crazy. She even wants to kill people."
Even without Zhou Lingyi saying anything, Lin Xiyan thought Zhou Lingfu was crazy.
When girls in the boudoir have conflicts, they always try to plan things out first. There are very few people like her who resort to violence at the slightest provocation.
But Zhou Lingfu was different and just used a knife.
This scene was so shocking that even though Lin Xiyan came from a family of military commanders, she was still shocked.
Especially when Lin Xiyan thought that the dagger had been on Zhou Lingfu all along, and Zhou Lingfu had been holding her tightly just now, and could take her life with just a raise of her hand, she broke out in a cold sweat.
The guards rushed forward to take Zhou Lingfu down as ordered by Zhou Lingyi, but Zhou Lingfu suddenly turned the dagger and pointed it at her own neck.
"Let's see who dares to step forward!"
Zhou Lingfu's move scared the guards, and they all looked at each other and dared not move forward.
After all, Zhou Lingfu was a concubine of Prince An's Mansion and a noble lady of the Earl's Mansion. If she was forced to death, their small guards could not bear the responsibility.
Things have come to this point, and Xie Qian'an, who has been watching coldly from the sidelines, has no choice but to stand up.
He frowned and said in a cold voice, "What are you doing? Put down the dagger quickly."
Looking at the cold-blooded man in front of her, Zhou Lingfu burst into laughter and said provocatively, "Why should I listen to you?"
Hearing this, Xie Qian'an's face suddenly darkened.
Zhou Lingfu ignored him and looked in the direction of Zhou Lingyi and Lin Xiyan.
"Zhou Lingyi, you bitch! You killed my mother and my child! Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!"
Then she looked at Lin Xiyan again, "Ms. Lin, everything I said is true. Now that I've spoken this out loud, Zhou Lingyi will definitely not let me go."
"It's either death or death. Now that my mother is dead, I have nothing to worry about. So I will use my life to prove to you that what I said is true!"
As she spoke, Zhou Lingfu moved the dagger that was on her neck down and thrust it forcefully into her chest.
