Chapter 22: The First Kill
When Lin Qiantan returned to the banquet, her whole body was cold and cold.
The others didn't see Chu Ling come back together, and they felt strange.
Lin Qiantan only said that Chu Ling would come later.
And Chu Ling, sure enough, after trying to disperse some of the medicinal power, changed his clothes and returned to the banquet.
Anyway, everyone had drunk a little bit, and her face was a little strange, but it wasn't abrupt.
Fortunately, everyone eats, drinks, walks around, and most of the birthday banquet is over.
No one noticed that the second lady of the Chu family came back after leaving for a trip, and something was not quite right.
And with the sudden news of a scandalous incident on the side of the clean room, the guests who were about to leave the table to say goodbye and return to the house were even more unlikely to pay attention to Chu Ling, who had an abnormal complexion and a discordant body posture.
Lin Qiantan took Chu Ling's hand, followed the guests who moved over, and went to the place where the show was staged. It's a pity that the unmarried ladies of the boudoir are blocked from the outside at some distance on the grounds that the ugly things inside are unsightly.
But it doesn't hurt.
Lin Qian said in her heart, the play should still be the same play, but the woman in the lead role has changed.
She and the girl called Futuan have no grievances, and she can't pass on her fate to the other party. But since the other party chose to hurt her knowing the result, she didn't have to be polite.
They stood far away and couldn't see it, but they could hear very clearly how chickens and dogs were jumping in the surrounded room!
Crying and scolding, naturally there are more buzzing discussions.
People have always been both contemptuous and interested in such things, and even those in high positions may still have the nature of gossip in their bones. Watching a play is not afraid of the high stage, and any sanctimonious words can be spit out from the mouths of people who are usually morally hypocritical!
After a while, just when the surrounding discussion was a little quieter, someone shouted: "Oops, someone is dead!"
The futon was splashed with water and woke up to find himself naked and wrapped in a quilt with the son of the Dong family. And on the side, the spectators who stood on the third floor and the outer three floors were all guests who came to the Chu family's birthday banquet on this day-
She was ashamed and indignant, her heart was torn, and she didn't know how she had become like this all of a sudden. She was pulled up and dressed, and while the two mothers-in-law who were holding her were not paying attention, she used all her strength and hit the pillar......
It is said that the skull was also cracked when it was hit.
The commotion in the courtyard continued for a while, and everyone was babbling about everything. Lin Qiantan smiled happily: these guests would no longer laugh at the Chu family for not governing the family strictly and losing morality.
After all, she was fine, and Chu Ling was fine, but it was Dong Yong, a guest who followed with his tenacious identity, who ran to the courtyard of the master's house, invaded the maid of the master's house, and made people die!
The nature of the two is very different.
Lin Qiantan happily watched Dong Yong be driven out of the house unceremoniously like a grizzled donkey, and when she thought about his appearance in her previous life, she was so disgusted that she wanted to vomit.
Perhaps it was the strong feelings of hatred in her body that attracted the attention of Chu Ling, who was closest to her. Chu Ling asked her with concern, "Cousin, what's wrong?" If she was close to Lin Qiantan in the past and had a bit of charity, then after today's kindness to save her has passed, she will probably try her best to be sincere to Lin Qiantan, a cousin who is not doing well at home!
Lin Qiantan smiled and shook her head, indicating that she was fine-
In her previous life, she was the one who cried, and she was as determined as the one who died now, but she was pulled by Chu Jiang desperately, so she didn't die on the spot.
And afterwards, as soon as the excitement of the incident passed, she did not have the courage to die at a young age for that little chastity, which now seemed worthless!
What was Dong Yong like at that time - he was gentle and apologetic, affectionate and ashamed, knelt down in front of everyone and told her that he just liked her too much.
And she was naïve and stupid when she was young, thinking that since she was already his person, she should have to start from the beginning.
Lin Qiantan watched the gray man leave in embarrassment under the guidance of everyone at this time, comparing the past, and couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, thinking that she had served this man like an old mother for several years, and finally she was only in her early twenties and could not die well, so she once again determined that she could not let this person die at once.
It has to be simmered over low heat to cook badly.
He's gone, and the futon is just a slave, so who cares about her? It's just to add an anecdote to add to the after-dinner conversation.
The guests also gradually left under the guidance of the Chu family's steward. Lin Qiantan saw that there was nothing to see, so she said to Chu Ling: "Cousin, let's go back, you are still uncomfortable."
Chu Ling's medicinal power has not subsided, although he is sensible, but the physical discomfort subsides, and it always takes time. When she heard this, she immediately nodded, took Lin Qiantan's hand, and smiled shyly.
The two walked away together, but they didn't see Jiang Zhiyue behind them looking at them jealously - she is also a cousin of the Chu family, but her cousin has been as close to her as Lin Qiantan since she was a child, why?
In terms of family background, appearance, and talent, which one of her is not far better than Lin Qiantan's fox who is just a little bit beautiful? I don't know what means she used to hook her cousin to resist her aunt for her. Otherwise, she Jiang Zhiyue would have been the justifiable young lady of the Chu family a long time ago!
Why is it that walking in the Chu family's mansion is still being called Miss Table all day long?
Now it's a good thing, even the second cousin has been attracted to the past!
She was not angry in her heart, and she had been resentful for a long time, so she couldn't help but write her emotions on her face, Jiang Ningniang saw it, followed her gaze and glanced at the two who had gone away, turned around and hugged her and said, "What are you angry with her?" Where is she compared to you! In her family, there is no father's pain, no mother's love, I'm afraid that any girl with a little façade in the Lin Mansion is better than her. "It's a different story with my niece. Not only is he and his son's childhood sweetheart, talented and beautiful, but the elders of the two families are also strongly in favor of their union. In her heart, Yue'er has long been her daughter-in-law.
Jiang Ningniang didn't bother to look at the corpse that was being carried out of the mass grave by a straw mat, and she didn't feel that the life of the slave was also fate, and as she spoke, she couldn't help but think of her husband-
Although the husband did not agree to the marriage with the Jiang family, it is estimated that he has not been able to see Yue'er's goodness. When he understands, this marriage should always work out.
The day's birthday feast is over. The guests were full of food and drink, watched another ugly story, and all of them returned satisfied. As the carriages left in front of the Chu family, the Chu family's mansion slowly returned from noise to calm under the setting sun.
No one noticed, and Yin's carriage remained in the corner, never going far. A man in a cloth coat was in a mess, and when everyone was gone, he came to the carriage.
