Chapter 70: Coercion and Temptation (Part II)

The whole Du Ruoge was silent, the lanterns under the eaves were quietly lit in the night, and occasionally the wind blew in through the cracks in the doors and windows, blowing the candles in the house trembling slightly, just like the uneasiness in Qing Ruchu's eyes, bright and dark, shrouded in haze.

Qing Ruchu looked at Qing Ruxu with a good eye, for fear that she would say something terrible, but she hoped to hear words that could save her fate.

Qingru Xu said quietly: "I know why the second sister refuses to identify Xiao Song today, because you think that as long as you keep her, you will save yourself." Maybe deep down in your heart, you still hoped that Xiao Song would feel guilty about you and sacrifice yourself to keep your position in this family, right? ”

Qing Ruchu's eyes were full of gloom, and she looked at her silently.

Or...... You believe in your mother and think that she has other means to turn the tide, so after much thought, you decide to let go of the fact that she is going to kill you and help her delay some time. I hope to wait for her to find a way to settle this matter, and then come back to help you. Qing Ruxu chuckled and said, "The second sister is really calculating. ”

"What the hell are you going to say?"

Qing Ruxu looked at her eyes, shook her head very regretfully, and said, "Second sister, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed...... In fact, the original purpose of my coming here today is to tell you that your mother has left you alone and fled. ”

"Huh...... Why do you lie to me with such words? ”

Qingru Xu saw that she didn't believe it, so she only raised her lips slightly, and didn't open her mouth to persuade her again.

Her attitude made Qing Ruchu believe it.

Qing Ruchu staggered back two steps and knocked down the pastel vase on the Duobao Pavilion, the vase fell and smashed to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound, "Impossible...... You lied to me! ”

"I didn't lie to you. At ten o'clock for dinner today, she disappeared out of thin air in the quiet pavilion with closed doors and windows. ”

Qing Ruchu looked at her in amazement: "Disappear? ”

"That's right, gone, there is no doubt that there are still her men in this house. Or, there was someone outside who was able to pick her up and rescued her. You also know that if she commits such a crime, she will inevitably die and will have to flee. ”

Qing Ruchu was stunned for a long time, and then the shock and grief on her face gradually disappeared, and finally became extremely indifferent. Apparently, she had lost hope that the mother who had tried to kill her to protect herself, and now had left her alone to escape.

"Huh...... In this case, what is the purpose of the big sister coming to find her at this time? ”

"I want to tell you that my father has made it clear that the little Song family has left this time, and it is no longer possible to claim to be the eldest lady of the Qing family. I want to ask the second sister, if on the way to Xunyang, Xiao Song still has a trace of conscience and finds a way to take you away, will you give up your identity as the concubine of the Qing family and follow her to live a life of fugitive from the world? ”

Qing Ruchu's eyes widened violently, of course she didn't want to! Even if she returns to her hometown in Xunyang, she is the concubine of the Qing Mansion after all, and there is still room to turn over in the future. If you follow your mother and go without a name! Maybe it's going to happen!

How could she live like that!

"What is your purpose in saying these things to me?"

Qing Ruxu heard her ask, slowed down her tone, and said: "Xiao Song is the murderer of my mother, this matter has nothing to do with the second sister, if the second sister can help me capture the Xiao Song family, it can be regarded as atonement, I will persuade my father to let you stay in the capital." ”

Qing Ruchu's gaze was like a sharp blade: "Do you want me to help you get my mother back?" so that you can put her to death? ”

"Your mother?" Qing Ruxu sneered: "Having such a mother is probably very unfavorable to the future of the second sister, and it is better to have it than not, isn't the second sister the most aware of the stakes?" Don't you know that as long as Xiao Song lives for one day, you will never be able to get out of the shadow of mutilating your eldest sister, and you will always be the daughter of a murderer! Whether in the Qing family or in the Song family, you will always be the target of everyone! No one will pity or sympathize with you or help you, although you are the daughter of the Qing family, you are also alone! ”

Her words sounded like a poisonous snake constantly gnawing at her body and soul. But she still refused to compromise, saying, "Why should I believe you can do it?" Why believe that you will not go back on your word. ”

"I can't prove it, it's all up to you." Qing Ruxu looked at her and said word by word: "Three ways, either flee with the Xiao Song clan in a precarious way, or go to Xunyang to live the second half of your unknown life, or, stay in the capital for a few years, and then continue to be your daughter." ”

After speaking, Qing Ruxu stopped looking at her and left without stopping. This conversation made Qing Ruxu's nostalgia for the old sisterhood completely disappear.

Out of Du Ruoge, Shizhou asked, "What will the second girl do?" ”

Qing Ruxu sighed lightly: "People like her will definitely gamble." ”

………………

The day of Qingru's first return to Xunyang is set for five days later.

Before that, Qinghong wanted to explain the cause and effect of the whole thing to the Song family, so he invited his brother-in-law to come the next day. After Song Ting'an learned about the good things that Xiao Song's mother had done, his eyes were red with anger at that time, and he rushed to Du Ruoge and waved his hand and slapped Qing Ruchu hard!

"Uncle......" The corners of Qing Ruchu's mouth were bleeding when she was beaten, and her eyes showed a look of horror.

"Don't call me uncle, I don't have a niece as poisonous as a snake and scorpion like you!"

Qing Ruchu looked at Qing Ruxu behind Song Ting'an, and finally understood that what she said last night could be true, because Song Ting'an had never liked her mother's sister-in-law, let alone her niece.

"Hello, give me back to Xunyang to think! If you let me know that you dare to do even the slightest bit of bad thinking, I will order someone to break your legs!" ”

Qing Ruchu was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and looked at his father with a pair of tearful eyes, but Qing Hong only said angrily: "You are so self-conscious!" ”

The group left one after another, Qing Ruxu walked at the end, and whispered to Qing Ruchu: "Second sister, have you thought about it?" What kind of life you can live in the future and what kind of person you can marry is up to you. ”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out the door, and at the moment when she was about to step out of the threshold with her hind feet, Qing Ruchu said, "I promise you!" ”

"Okay."

………………

In the firewood room next to the small kitchen of the Wuju house, the fishing boat sat on the ground dejectedly, shouting tired and crying, crying and crying, but still no one paid attention to her. She knew what to say from the beginning, and she memorized those words well, but after so much time, why didn't anyone come to interrogate her?

"Get out of here!" The rat in the corner squeaked from time to time, and the fishing boat frowned and picked up a stone and threw it at it.

The rat was frightened and stabbed into the pyre. However, after a while, the rat saw that she did not have much ability, and ran out again and scurried around.

The fishing boat became more and more irritable, stood up and continued to bang on the door, "Girl, let the slave and maid out!" The slave will tell you everything, and will not hide it! ”

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps not far away, and Yuzhou suddenly came to her senses, she licked her dry lips, and shouted, "Which sister is outside, can you help me pass a word?" ”

The man outside paused and seemed to hesitate.

Seeing this, Yuzhou hurriedly lowered his voice, "Please help me pass on a message, and I will pass a message to the eldest girl!" I still have some money! It's all for you! ”

The man stood in place for a long time, and finally moved his steps and walked over, "It's my ......."

"Light boat? Is that you? When Yuzhou heard that it was her, he immediately became excited. The two of them are both second-class maidservants, and they usually have the most contact, and Qingzhou belongs to people who talk little, but do things steadily. If she is willing to help herself, she is much more reliable than others. "Qingzhou, you help me pass a message to the eldest girl, just say that I must know everything......"

"Yuzhou, I advise you not to waste your efforts......" Qingzhou's voice was a little hesitant, as if he didn't want to have anything to do with her. It's only because of the old feelings that I came to tell her. "The big girl won't ask you to ask questions......"

"You...... What does this mean? We got acquainted, and you won't even help with this little favor? ”

"It's not that I don't help you, it's useless! You don't know yet, your mother has already said everything, and the eldest girl doesn't need to ask you anymore, otherwise, why wouldn't she ask you to ask for so long! ”

"Impossible!" The first reaction of the fishing boat was that it was impossible.

"Oops! I just think that the two of us have met once, and I am kind enough to tell you, if you don't believe me, I can't help it. ”

With that, the light boat turned around and was about to leave. Yuzhou hurriedly shouted: "Don't go, I believe me, you tell me about the situation outside......"

"Don't say I told you." Qingzhou spoke quickly, as if she was afraid that someone would see her talking to Yuzhou, and said, "Your mother seems to have expected something bad to happen, so your father escaped with your brother." When the girl found out, she sent someone to arrest her, and with your brother in her hands, can your mother not say it? I'm here to tell you that what you know is probably useless! Let's think about how you can live a life! Alright, I'm leaving! ”

After speaking, Qingzhou turned around and left, no matter how Yuzhou shouted at her, she didn't pay attention to it. "How is that possible?"

She said that it was impossible, but her head was full of Qingzhou's words: With your brother in her hands, can your mother not say it!

In her mother's eyes, her brother's life is more important than anyone else in their family!

Did my mother really say it? So what should she do? Do you want to fend for yourself here? Or did the girl dispose of her without even asking?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, what should she do? What should she do to fight for her life?

She slammed down on the door, slammed the wooden door of the firewood room with all her might, and shouted, "Let me out, I have something to say to the big girl!" ”
