Rao Yufang stepped on the stool to reach the white silk silk, stood on tiptoes and stretched her head inside.
Taking a deep breath, she dropped her feet slightly, feeling suffocated for a moment.
"Pull right, pull right."
A female voice at the foot said hurriedly.
Rao Yufang panicked and stretched out her hand to tug at the right side of the silk silk. There was a dark knot there.
She fell to the ground, holding her neck and gasping for air.
"Miss." The girl hurriedly knelt on the ground to help her calm down, with a frightened look on her face, "It's too scary, let's, let's not play with this anymore..."
It took a while for Rao Yufang to recover.
The feeling of hanging is really scary, but...
She put her hand on her heart, thinking of what she saw at the door of Dingxihou Mansion, what Chang Yunqi said, her uncle's impatience in the study, her aunt's crying, and the heroic figure of the man on the horse...
The Marquis of Dingxi is so shameless. This time he caused such a thing, regretted his marriage and forced someone to die. Let’s see if the Marquis of Dingxi’s mansion dares to bear this shame!
"What's scary? There's no way you can die just because you don't want to." She scolded the girl in a low voice, biting her lower lip, "Get up quickly, do it a few more times, and you'll get used to it. There's nothing scary about it."
The girl didn't dare to stop her and helped her get up.
After two or three times, Rao Yufang became proficient. After kicking the stool, he stayed on the white silk for longer and longer periods of time. He did it easily and could not help but laugh a few times.
"Take away the quilt." She stood up again and looked at the quilt spread on the ground to avoid the pain of falling.
This is coming for real!
No, this is about to officially start!
The girl was a little nervous.
"Miss." She looked at Rao Yufang uneasily again.
Rao Yufang looked at her angrily.
"Hurry up," she said, "keep it organized so that no one can see it."
Only then did the girl respond. She rolled up the quilt in a panic and beat it for a while before putting it away.
"Quickly, tie the knot." Rao Yufang said.
The girl stood on the stool and tied a knot tremblingly.
Rao Yufang looked at her face again in the mirror. Her eyes were red and swollen, her lips were white, and she was haggard. She nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the letter paper on the table and read through the suicide note she had written.
"Okay." She said, put the letter away, and stood on the stool.
The girl bit her lower lip and looked at her with a pale face and trembling body.
"Little miss..." she shouted tremblingly.
"Get out!" Rao Yufang looked at her impatiently and shouted in a low voice.
The girl stood still.
"Hurry up! As promised, don't make a mess. If someone sees it, I can't spare you." Rao Yufang said again, reaching out to hold Bai Juan.
The girl then walked out hesitantly.
"Close the door." Rao Yufang said.
The girl hurriedly closed the door. As the door slowly closed, Rao Yufang, who had already focused on the white silk, did not see that the panic on the girl's face had disappeared, replaced by a faint smile with unknown meaning.
Rao Yufang calculated that the time was almost up, took a deep breath, skillfully put her head into the white silk, kicked down the stool without any hesitation, and hung her whole body.
Although he was very familiar with it, this feeling of suffocation was really uncomfortable. Rao Yufang felt that it was getting more and more difficult to breathe, and his mind was a little dazed. He knew that the limit of what he could endure had reached, and he could faintly hear a large number of footsteps approaching this way.
…
Coming..
Coming…
The footsteps never came...
No one opened the door...
No one screamed in fear...
No more, no more...
I can’t hold on any longer….
Rao Yufang began to kick her legs unconsciously.
This one won’t work. I don’t need this anymore. It would be too painful to find another one...
She stretched out her hand to pull the knot on the right side in a panic, once, twice, three times...
Slowly, her legs stopped shaking, and the hand that was holding on to the knot finally dropped weakly.
The door was knocked open with a bang, and screams pierced the sky above the Bachelor's Mansion.
Are you satisfied now?
Chang Yunqi smiled slightly.
"Do you have enough money to redeem yourself? They won't make things difficult for you, right?" He said calmly after listening to the narrative. He looked at the little girl opposite, his eyes soft and concerned.
The girl smiled and shook her head.
"That's enough. If something like this happens, the eldest master and the eldest lady will lose all their dignity. Those of us old people who follow the young lady will definitely be sent away." She whispered, adding a hint of emotion when she said this.
He lowered his head a little shyly.
"You go home with your aunt and uncle first." Chang Yunqi said, "After August, I will ask someone to pick you up. I'm just afraid that you have to sell a death contract or become a girl first."
The word "Xian" pleased her. If there is first, then naturally there will be second.
"Yu'er is already very happy to be able to serve the young master." She knelt down and said, then thought of something and said, "Then I will first congratulate the young master for his high school, and then congratulate the young master... on the title of Crown Prince."
Chang Yun laughed.
"Thank you for your kind words," he said.
He did not stop her from saying this, but simply admitted it, which showed that he really regarded himself as one of his own, and that's why he revealed his feelings like this.
The girl couldn't help but get up and, under Chang Yunqi's persuasion, had a cup of tea.
"It's time for me to go over," she said, bowing and leaving.
Chang Yun nodded and watched the girl walk out.
He walked to the window and lifted the curtain. From this angle, he could see the gate of Dingxi Houfu's capital residence. At this time, the gate was extremely busy.
People from Rao Xueshi's Mansion and Duke Deqing's Mansion surrounded the door tightly. After receiving the news, people from the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities also came over. The street was already crowded with people watching the excitement.
"Those who threaten people with hanging are stupid..." Chang Yunqi said with a disdainful smile, but stopped before he finished speaking, because he thought that there was someone who lived like this...
that person….
He didn't want to say she was stupid, at least he didn't want to be compared with this Rao Yufang!
He looked downstairs and saw the man.
This stupid woman!
Chang Yunqi put down the window, walked across the table, grabbed the teacup that the girl had used, put it in his sleeve, and walked out.
"It's really a big deal!"
Qi Yue finally squeezed in, followed by Hu San and others.
The gate of Dingxihou Mansion has been surrounded by guards and no one is allowed to approach.
"He's really dead." Hu San was still talking to Ah Hao over and over again, "I heard that the Rao family's wife also hanged herself..."
"Two died?" Qi Yue turned around and asked in surprise.
"No, Mrs. Rao is not dead." Hu San said hurriedly, "But Miss Rao is really dead."
Why die...
"...I heard that the Marquis Mansion broke the contract and settled on a girl from the Rao family first, then regretted it, and then the girl from the Rao family committed suicide in shame and anger..."
"..Really? That's too much..."
"...That's right, this Miss Rao is really strong..."
"...We can't spare this family lightly...it's really killing people..."
Listening to the noisy discussions around him, Qi Yue frowned.
This time the Dingxihou Mansion was really... miserable!
How is Chang Yuncheng now?
"Why are you here?" Someone squeezed over and grabbed her arm and shouted.
Qi Yue turned around and saw it, and was immediately overjoyed.
"Yunqi, you came just in time, how is your brother? Take me in quickly," she said.
"You're crazy, what are you doing here at this time!" Chang Yunqi couldn't help but pull her out of the crowd.
"What's going on?" Qi Yue asked.
At this time, they were already standing far away, away from the noisy and turbulent crowd.
"I don't know either." Chang Yunqi shook his head and said, "Because the exam period is approaching, I have been studying with a few classmates at Jinyang Academy on the outskirts of the city. I rarely come home. I just heard that something happened today."
Qi Yue said, frowning and saying nothing.
Chang Yunqi lowered his gaze to hide his disappointment.
She didn't even ask about the exam...
"How could this happen..." Qi Yue said, looking at Dingxihou Mansion, "How far is this marriage going?"
This is the key to solving this matter.
"I don't know either." Chang Yunqi still said, with a bit of helplessness, "However, no matter which step we go to, we are in trouble now. Firstly, the status of the Rao family, and secondly, this Miss Rao is still in trouble.
It’s not Bachelor Rao’s biological child, but foster care. If I don’t give an explanation…”
The foster orphan who had no father or mother died. As the caregiver, the eldest son of the Rao family would face overwhelming accusations and questions. Based on this, Bachelor Rao would not let go of the Dingxi Hou Mansion.
"You must not come now. If the Rao family sees them, they will be like mad dogs. If they bite you, you won't be able to get rid of them." Chang Yunqi said.
"This, this actually doesn't bother you, right? It has nothing to do with Chang Yuncheng, right?" Qi Yue said.
Chang Yunqi shook his head and smiled bitterly.
I don't know whether to smile bitterly for Chang Yuncheng or for myself.
"If the Crown Prince is fine, something will happen to Mr. Xie. If Mr. Xie is okay, something will happen to the Crown Prince." He hesitated, whispered, and looked at Qi Yue.
In short, these two mother and son will definitely not be able to escape this time.
Are you happy that those who have humiliated you have ended up like this?
Chang Yunqi looked at Qi Yue, but he couldn't ask this question.
Qi Yue obviously didn't pay attention to his words either.
Qi Yue also understood the consequences of the current incident, and she looked towards the Dingxi Hou Mansion.
Chang Yuncheng, how are you doing now?
"You're satisfied! You're satisfied!" Ms. Xie shouted in a room. She wanted to grab something to smash, but found that everything she could smash had been smashed.
"You don't want the living, but you have to want the dead! Do you have to kill yourself to be satisfied?" Ms. Xie shouted, reaching out and hitting Chang Yuncheng in front of her.
Chang Yuncheng let her hit him.
"...It's over now. It's over now..." Dingxihou murmured, his face pale.
This thing was too sudden, too unexpected, too scary...
"You don't listen to me, are you satisfied? You are satisfied!" Ms. Xie was still scolding.
At this moment, the door was banged open.
"Who? Block it, block it." Dingxihou was so frightened that he jumped up and shouted, trying to hide.
Did anyone from the Rao family come in?
But what he saw was a short, fat old woman coming in. The old woman was holding a cane in her hand, and she rushed over.
"Mother?" Ms. Xie was stunned and looked at the person coming, "How did you..."
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Xie had already stood in front of her and raised her hand.
"Are you satisfied?" she shouted tremblingly, raising her hand again.
"Are you satisfied?"
Snapped!
"Are you satisfied?"
Snapped!
The crisp slaps and the old and trembling questions echoed in the room, hitting everyone's heart and lungs. (To be continued)
