Gong Mengshu's face instantly turned as white as paper. Cheng Ruikai then laughed again, and said, "Just kidding, how can I be willing to kill you?" He inserted the gun in his hand back into the holster, and then approached Gong Mengshu's side, hugged her again, and said in a low voice: "Mengshu, you are not allowed to fall in love with someone else, I am not allowed to you! Never! Do you hear that?" he closed his eyes and put his chin on the top of her hair, sniffing her hair, indulging in the fragrance of her sideburns, as if Fang Cai's violent and ruthless appearance had never appeared.

Gong Mengshu's whole body was stiff, and he hadn't yet reacted from the shock and astonishment of seeing Cheng Ruikai's cold-blooded and ruthless true face after turning his face. There was a strangeness to the man in front of her, although she had grown up and thought she knew him well, but at the moment she felt as if she had never really understood him. She was hugged tightly by Cheng Ruikai, and his arms were still as warm and generous as ever, but they couldn't warm a certain corner of her body.

The fourth aunt has been locked up in the firewood room and has not been released, and it is said that she was beaten so that she did not have a piece of good meat on her body. But to everyone's surprise, the fourth aunt in custody had a slightly better stick wound on her body, so she shouted and scolded Cheng Chazhong at the window of the firewood room every day.

When the news reached Cheng Chazhong's ears, his already dark face became even darker, but he just didn't say a word. After Man Zhen observed his face, he whispered to his subordinates: "Let the third aunt go over and persuade her sister, lest the matter become bigger, how can the master's face be held?"

The third aunt Tai Peng rushed to the firewood room with her injured body as if she heard the news and begged her sister to stop talking nonsense, but the fourth aunt scolded even more vigorously and did not listen to anyone's persuasion at all. Peng Wanru saw that she persuaded her sister not to move, and she was sad in her heart, and couldn't help crying outside the firewood room, and said, "Sister, you are so ruthless, don't you want to live like this?"

The fourth aunt listened to her sister's crying outside, she leaned against the wall of the firewood room and sneered: "You still have the face to come to me to cry! You're not my own sister, you're the one who harmed me!"

"Shall I harm you?" The third aunt cried too much: "Is it wrong for us to find a place where we can shelter from the wind and rain if we don't continue to eat? Why do I harm you? Why do I do everything possible to let the master go to your room, I don't want you to give birth to a son and a half daughter as soon as possible, so that you can rely on it in the next life! Are you confused, for the sake of a man who does not enter the stream, you have lost all your net worth, you are stupid, you are so stupid!"

"Yes, I'm stupid!" said the fourth aunt, "I just like Shiro, how is it? There has never been a man who is as good to me as he is, and considerate to me......"

"How many men are good things?" The third aunt said hatefully: "Can you be considerate and gentle?" The fourth aunt just sneered and refused to answer her sister again. The third aunt was so helpless that she had to go back to the room to recuperate with sobs.

The fourth aunt scolded like this for a few more days, and said that Master Cheng's usual privacy was so loud that she could hear it almost when the door was closed. She didn't eat much every day, and when she was tired of scolding, she began to babble and sing. Everyone who heard it whispered that the fourth aunt was too afraid to go crazy.

Gong Mengshu finally couldn't see it, so she quietly went to see the fourth aunt when there was no one guarding her at lunchtime. In the past few days, because the people in the house have been busy preparing for the marriage of Cheng Ruikai and Lu Qingqing, no one has sorted out the firewood room, and the fourth aunt has almost been forgotten here. In addition, the wound suppurated and formed inflammation, and before I approached the firewood room, there was a foul smell.

The fourth aunt heard that Gong Mengshu was coming through the door, so she stopped talking nonsense. She said in the house, "Miss Gong, I know that you are a good person. I advise you, I'd rather never marry for the rest of your life than be a concubine for others, the second young master will marry immediately, you see that I am your future ......"

Gong Mengshu listened to the advice of the fourth aunt, her heart was sour, and she responded vaguely, and stuffed the Jinchuang ointment she brought into the door for the fourth aunt. The fourth aunt handed a handkerchief bag to Gong Mengshu from under the door. Gong Mengshu opened the handkerchief, and there was a golden lock inside, the chain was very thick, I was afraid that there were three or four weights, and there was also a chain pendant with a golden peach.

"Miss Gong, my sister is a wall grass, and she is unreliable. For now, I can only ask you to do me a favor......" The fourth aunt begged Gong Mengshu in the door.

"Say it, Fourth Auntie, as long as I can do it for you......" Gong Mengshu endured his heart and replied in a low voice.

"You give me this chain to Shiro and see if he's killed. If he is killed, you can give this chain to the troupe owner and ask him to help with the burial. If he is not dead, you let him hold the chain, and it will be a thought in the future. I'm so grateful if you come back and tell me about him......"

Gong Mengshu listened to the fourth aunt as if she had confessed her last words, her heart was sour, and she quickly nodded and said, "Okay, fourth aunt, don't worry, I'll try my best to help you ......"

"Miss Gong, you are a good person, and you will be rewarded in the future!" the fourth aunt said with a grateful tear. Gong Mengshu heard a plop in the firewood room, as if the fourth aunt was kneeling for her, her nose was sore, and she was almost in tears.

At night, Gong Mengshu took a look at the sky and quietly went out. Although something happened to the Cheng family, due to the news blockade, the outside did not know about this ugly incident. Moreover, the engagement of the second young master Cheng Ruikai and Miss Lu family's daughter still needs to be prepared, so the Cheng family is still a lively and busy scene on the surface, and no one pays attention to Gong Mengshu going out alone.

Gong Mengshu inquired about the address of the troupe during the day, so at night, he found the Liyuan troupe by asking. The place where this Liyuan troupe performs and the place where they stay are separated. If you don't deliberately look for it, you won't be able to find a place where the actors live. Gong Mengshu lied that he was Shiro's cousin and got the address where he was staying.

Shiro's accommodation was in a remote area, and the door was half-hidden, as if someone had come before Gong Mengshu. Gong Mengshu didn't let people lead the way, for fear of attracting the attention of others, so he looked for the past and quietly entered the door, but just touched the upstairs by himself.

As soon as she had gone up two or three steps, she heard someone hurrying down the stairs, and she couldn't dodge it, and just happened to collide head-on with two people coming down from the stairs!

That Shiro didn't die, he was standing on the steps well, and the person who was holding him intimately beside him, Gong Mengshu couldn't control it for a while, and a "second wife" had already called out. After screaming, his confused mind suddenly became clear.

The moment she saw Gong Mengshu, the second wife Manzhen's face was shocked and panicked, but then she returned to normal. She knew that Gong Mengshu had understood the ins and outs of the whole thing, but she was sure that Gong Mengshu would not denounce her, because she was Cheng Molin's mother, and she usually received favors from Gong Mengshu.

Gong Mengshu stood at the foot of the steps, waiting for the blood to return to her veins before she found her breath, she stared at the obviously unharmed drama Shiro, and suddenly didn't want to hand over the chain at hand to him.

Man Zhen asked Gong Mengshu: "Why are you here?" Gong Mengshu looked at her in a daze, and began to retreat backwards, "kicking" from the stairs to the flat ground, she turned around and ran. The drama Shiro was anxious to chase after him, but was stopped by Man Zhen: "Don't chase it, this girl is her own person, she won't betray us!"

Gong Mengshu rushed all the way back to Cheng's house, and then went straight to the firewood room to find the fourth aunt, who dragged her bruised body to the side of the chaimen, and asked her eagerly through the chaimen: "Mengshu, is he dead? or is he alive? You tell me! Tell me quickly!"

Gong Mengshu didn't say anything, so he squatted down/leaned back and stuffed the handkerchief back to the fourth aunt.

"Fourth wife, don't wait for that person, he ...... It's not dead, but there's someone beside you......" Gong Mengshu said hoarsely to the fourth aunt. There was silence in the firewood room for a long time, and suddenly an earth-shattering cry broke out. Gong Mengshu listened to the desolate dry howl of the fourth aunt who couldn't shed tears, and couldn't help crying.

This night, the old lady Cheng's cold worsened, and Gong Mengshu went straight to the old lady's room to serve after returning from the firewood room. In the middle of the night, Gong Mengshu, who had been guarding the old lady's bedside, heard an abnormal movement, she walked to the window, and saw that there were many ghosts outside, and there were vague dog barks and human voices, she sighed in her heart, and hurriedly asked another maid to take care of the old lady, and she flashed out the door and went straight to the firewood room.

As soon as he turned the corridor, before he reached the firewood room, Gong Mengshu saw three or four figures carrying a sack out of the door of the firewood room. The moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was impossible to see what was in the sack, but the sack would writhe, and there was a cry for help from inside. Gong Mengshu hurriedly flashed behind the tree, holding his breath and not moving.

I heard only one of the three or four figures whispering: "Hurry up and send the sack to the moat and throw it, if it can't be sunk, tie a few stones, and only return when you are dead." In short, we must do it neatly, and don't leak the slightest rumor!!If anyone finds out, we will all lose our heads!" But it was the voice of the old butler.

The figures responded in unison, and then carried the sack out of Cheng's house. When the old housekeeper saw the figure walking away, he pinched his nose in disgust and pushed open the firewood room, threw the lock aside, and left the door of the firewood room wide open. Then he looked around and saw that no one noticed, so Shi Shiran went back to the room. Gong Mengshu trembled all over, covered his mouth that he wanted to scream, and hid behind a tree and didn't dare to move.

After a while, she didn't know how she had returned to the old lady's room, but she felt a chill all over her body, and she began to shiver involuntarily.

When it was almost dawn, someone in the Cheng family shouted: "The fourth aunt ran away in the middle of the night and committed suicide by jumping into the lake!"

Gong Mengshu stayed awake all night, and stayed on the edge of Mrs. Cheng's bed, and when she heard the bad news from the window, her body shook and she felt that the heavens and the earth began to spin. A maid beside her immediately supported her, reached out and touched it, and suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, it's not good, Miss Gong is sick and has a high fever!"
