Chapter 095: Chun'er's Nightmare
The murderer is being interrogated, and it is said that he has a very hard mouth, and he has not let go of his mouth to say who is behind the scenes and who brought him into the house. All kinds of questions and speculations that were sorted out that night were also arranged, and they are being investigated.
Yinzhen was busy with official business, and there were many people coming and going in the front yard, so it was inconvenient for me to stay for a long time, so I went back to the backyard first to wait for news.
One day later, the official of the Criminal Department suddenly secretly asked someone to bring it over and say that there was a movement on Chun'er's side, saying that she could tell everything she knew, but the premise was that I had to go there in person, and also hinted that this matter was related to my secret. It stands to reason that this matter should be reported to Yinzhen first, and only after getting his approval can I decide whether I should go or not. However, the official of the Criminal Department knew that Chun'er was Yinyu's person, so he thought that the secret she said was afraid that it had something to do with Yinyu, so he kept the matter private and planned to ask my opinion.
Regarding Chun'er's inexplicable hostility and betrayal, I just wanted to find an opportunity to ask her in private. In this way, under the arrangement of the officials of the Criminal Department and accompanied by Xiao Shunzi, at night, I quietly came to the place where Chun'er was held and met with her.
Chun'er was even more emaciated and haggard than the last time she saw her, her eyes were sunken, their sockets were red and swollen, her lips were pale without a trace of blood, and she was wearing a white prison robe stained with dust and mottled blood, which looked a little ghostly and terrifying in the dim light of the room.
I forcibly suppressed the mixed feelings in my heart, let Xiao Shunzi wait outside, and asked in a cold and shallow tone: "I heard that you want to see me, do you still want to climb on me?"
As soon as my words fell, I didn't expect Chun'er to kneel down on her knees, kowtowed, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "This time I'm confused, begging my sister to let me live in the face of the ninth master......"
I heard Chun'er's pleading words, my eyebrows narrowed, I didn't answer first, turned around and opened the door to let Xiao Shunzi investigate the surroundings, but the wall had ears, until Xiao Shunzi confirmed that there was no one around, and then asked Xiao Shunzi to be careful about the surrounding movements, closed the door and turned around, walked back to her, showed a mocking sneer on his face, and said: "Ninth Master? Do you still have the face to mention Ninth Master here? Don't you know that Ninth Master already knows about you framing me? Do you think that with the heart of Ninth Master, I will be able to save you in his face? Let you live?" Hehe, I just want to ask, when you put that jade pendant in the Degege house, did you think about my life?"
Seeing my resolute attitude, Chun'er knew that it was useless to ask for more, so she got up slowly, smiled bitterly with a faint smile, and whispered: "Sister, do you want to hear me talk about the two years after we separated?"
Chun'er's tone was very calm and indifferent, the same as her pale face, so light that it was heart-wrenching.
"What the hell have you been through in the past two years, and how did you come to be like this?" I asked, looking at her sadly.
"Hehe, it's a long story. But in exchange, I hope my sister will promise me one thing after listening to this story, okay?" Chun'er raised her head, her originally empty eyes full of mixed emotions when she mentioned the past, and I couldn't refuse and wanted to explore. "I don't like to break my promises, so I won't make a promise until I don't know what it is or whether I can do it. So if you want to say it, you can say it, and if you don't want to say it, I will never force it. I walked over to the table and sat down.
My ambiguous answer did not surprise Chun'er, a wry smile appeared on her lips, and she walked to the table without hurrying, poured a glass of water, put it to her lips, and began to tell an unimaginable and extremely distressing two years of past.
In March of the forty-first year of Kangxi, Chun'er used money from her family to find a little housekeeper in charge of servants and maids in Yinyu's mansion and accommodated her into the Nine Elder Brothers' Mansion. When she first entered the palace, Chun'er saw the magnificence of the prince's mansion, the bright clothes of the servants and maids, and the delicious meals that were enough to eat at first, which made her look forward to the future as if she was in a dream for a family like hers. In her opinion, if she can live such a life of abundant food and clothing, even if it is very hard to be a slave, it is worth it, anyway, when she is at home, she has to help do a lot of things, which is not a difficult task for her.
Chun'er doesn't have my stubbornness and stubbornness, she is very sensible and well-behaved, although she was always assigned to dirty work at the beginning, but she never complained, and she was able to live happily all day long. She was a year older than me, and when she entered the house, she was almost in time, and when she ate and drank in the house, her thin figure began to become plump and exquisite, and her cheeks slowly grew, revealing the freshness and beauty of a girl.
But it was also the beginning of her nightmare. The steward of the servants and maidservants in the house is an old servant in his forties. Although he is an inner servant, it doesn't mean that he can really be quiet, especially this kind of inner servant who climbs up from the lowest position little by little, decades of physical and mental torment, resulting in an extremely distorted heart under his seemingly relaxed appearance.
In the eyes of this old steward, Chun'er is like a budding flower, so beautiful that it makes people want to pick and ravage, and even because it is too pure and beautiful, he sees his own unbearable, so he gives birth to a vicious heart that gets and then destroys.
One night half a year after Chun'er entered the house, the steward called Chun'er to his room alone, and first told him that in fact, Chun'er's entry into the Ninth Brother's Mansion was only temporary, and she was not really removed from the roster of the Interior Affairs Bureau, so if she wanted to stay, it would depend on her performance, and she had to listen to him.
Chun'er didn't understand this hint at first, she liked the Nine Elder Brothers' Mansion but didn't want to enter the palace, so she thought that the steward wanted to give her more work, so she readily agreed, saying that she was willing to follow his arrangement.
That night, Chun'er experienced the darkest and most terrible thing in a girl's life. The steward had no intention of removing Chun'er's name from the roster of the clothed showgirl, and he was also worried that breaking her body would cause trouble. So he brutally snatched Chun'er's virginity from another channel, and also made her whole **** body completely untouched, only her face and other exposed skin looked the same.
In this way, Chun'er has to work hard every day to do the menial chores, and at night she has to be bullied by the steward. She had thought about dying, but the steward threatened that the servant and maid who committed suicide in the Elder Brother's Mansion would not only have no body, but would also affect the family. In addition, she thought of her mother, who had worked hard to pull her up, and thought that the family still needed her to send money back to make up for it, so she could only endure this humiliation.
Until one day, she overheard someone mention that Yinyu and I had something to do with each other. Maybe it's the human instinct to survive, although she doesn't know how deep the intersection between me and Yinyu is, but she still intuitively thinks that this is her only chance to survive. So she tried to arrange a seemingly accidental encounter between herself and Yinyu, and then managed to let Yinyu know that she was my childhood friend.
Yinyu didn't know that Chun'er deliberately climbed up to him with a heart to save herself, and she was glad that there were people in the house who were familiar with me. In this way, she naturally stayed by Yinyu's side to serve. Yinyu has always been a very straightforward and gentle big boy, only three or four years older than Chun'er. Because of Chun'er's relationship with me, he is also very good to her, according to Chun'er's words, he almost treats her as my stand-in, and she is almost spoiled.
Chun'er said that those days with Yinyu were really warm and happy times in her life, although she knew that Yinyu's kindness to her was due to her empathy for me, but she still couldn't extricate herself from it.
But the good times didn't last long, she didn't expect that the steward would still not give up, and found her again and threatened to tell Yinyu about her and his dirty things. At the beginning, she still wanted to settle things and settle people, retreated in every way, made him ask for too much in his body again and again, and even began to ask her to help him collect money and squander it.
Seeing that the steward's actions were more and more devastating, she had to make a very difficult but not regrettable decision - she killed him, and without anyone noticing.
She found an opportunity to get him drunk, and then, under the pretext that she wanted to try something fresher and more interesting in the wilderness, led him to a secluded place in the small pond of the house, and did not know how hard it was at that time, so she pushed him into the lake, and then went back to her house as if nothing had happened, until the next day the people of the house found the body of the steward in the small pond, and asked her to come to the autopsy and determine that she had fallen into the water after drinking, and her nightmare was over.
