Chapter 22 Death is not terrible, but life is better than death

The matter was revealed, and Qiu Cicada knelt on the ground with a dejected face.

But that's not the end of it.

Rong Sheng brought up the old story again, "I remember that when Qiu Cicada identified Jiang Feng, it seemed that lying would not be good to die, should I do it myself, or will I come?"

"Miss, the slave and the maid don't want to die, please do well, save the slave and the maid, all the slaves and maids are all according to your orders, you can't ignore the slave and the maid. ”

The greedy and afraid of death Qiu Cicada lay on the ground and kowtowed fiercely, and after a while, a small scar appeared on his forehead, and he reached out to pull Rong Caiwei's skirt and let Chunyue step on it to stop it.

Chunyue raised her hand and shaved her ear, "Qiu Cicada, do you still want face?" Say that Changfeng takes advantage of you*** crying, begging Miss to call the shots for you. Miss is kind enough to stand up for you, but the result is good, you beat you up, wronged Miss for instructing you, you are a lowly maid, what reason does Miss have to frame you?"

She leaned close to Qiu Cicada's ear, "If you still pity your hard-working father, you can get acquainted, what to say next, don't let me teach you." ”

Qiu Cicada's eyes dimmed, and she finally accepted her fate, "It's the slave and the maid who has a conscience and a dog's lungs, I'm sorry for Miss, I implore Miss to open the net." ”

Rong Caiwei was considering whether to punish Qiu Cicada lightly, and Rong Sheng snatched the white. "You rely on Cai Wei's simple mind and clever words to deceive her, can she spare you, and the uncle can let you go? I think, wait for the uncle to change into his birthday clothes and come over, tell him about it, and let him decide. ”

Rong Jiangchen is famous for his good face, who in Rong Mansion doesn't know? Death is not terrible, what is terrible is that life is better than death, Qiu Chan's maidservant girl's life is thinner than paper, and when he comes to deal with the torture, he has to take turns.

Qiu Chan has been in the house for three or four years, and she is more afraid of Rong Jiangchen than Rong Caiwei. Before the punishment was imposed, she still had a choice, and mustered up the courage to bite her tongue......

Rong Sheng knew that Qiu Cicada wanted to escape punishment by dying, but if he died, he could really repay the sins he had committed? Presumably Jiang Yehan was particularly afraid of death, after all, in his heart, right was his life. Rong Jiangchen's birthday should have invited Jiang Yehan, estimate the time, it's coming.

Rong Jiangchen attaches great importance to today, and when he learned about the autumn cicada, he ordered someone to build an old straw mat and throw it away to the mass grave.

The chaos in the west courtyard did not delay the progress of the birthday, and when they arrived, the birthday had just begun.

A temporary stage was set up in the small courtyard of the south gate, and many people gathered around to listen to the story in the play, which was very lively, and there were many kinds of alternative fruits on the square table, and it was not difficult to guess that Rong Jiangchen had put a lot of thought into it. It's just a scene layout, a glass of wine, please invite the troupe...... They all have to be spent, Rong Jiangchen is not in business, has no official position, and has no money, where will he get the money? Won't he pay off the Rong family's accounts?

She has a small vault where money is hidden, and on the second shelf of the study, there is an ordinary secret history of martial arts, and the key is hidden in that book. It's just that in her previous life, she was invited to Linjiang Mansion to discuss the details of her marriage with Jiang Yehan, and locked her study when she left. She asked for two keys to open the study, one she handed over to Steward Mao, and the other was in the hands of Elder Qingdao.

Gotta find a chance to get the key back. No matter how rich the Rong family is, they can't afford to be treated by Rong Jiangchen so badly.

She was so engrossed in her mind that she didn't notice that the two people in the next row were talking about her.

Rong Caiwei took Jiang Wan's hand affectionately, "Sister Jiang Wan, you haven't come to Rongfu to play with me for a long time, it's not interesting enough." ”

"Hey. Jiang Wan sighed, so it was difficult, "It's not that I won't come, I need to take care of everything at home, and I really can't leave." Besides, I'm not married yet, so it's not good to run here with my brother. ”

Rong Caiwei smiled and said politely: "You think too much, Qingyi is your sister-in-law, how can you not be welcomed." ”

Jiang Wan smiled meaningfully, Rong Qingyi couldn't afford the title of sister-in-law anymore. Thinking of that unrecognizable face, her heart of revenge was dark, and those who coveted Jiang Yehan deserved to die. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a figure in front of her left, which was quite familiar, pushed Rong Caiwei, raised her chin and pointed in the direction, "Who is the one in the pink dress?" ”

"Rong Sheng. The concubine abandoned by the Rong family came from Hecheng to give gifts to her father. I haven't heard from there for more than ten years, and when I come back suddenly, who knows what to think. Rong Caiwei grabbed a handful of melon seeds and swallowed them.

After Rong Sheng was humiliated that day, Jiang Wan always suppressed a resentment in her heart, and she couldn't sleep day and night. She tried to find an opportunity to teach Rong Sheng a lesson, but she heard her brother say that people had left Hecheng, and she was annoyed that she couldn't find someone to spread fire, so she couldn't help but meet her. Rong Sheng returned to Rong's house and provoked Rong Caiwei to target Rong Sheng, which was safer than her doing it herself. Thinking of this, she told Rong Caiwei seriously:

"Some time ago, my brother and I went to Hecheng to discuss business and met her. ”

Rong Caiwei put down a melon seed shell and asked suspiciously, "Have you seen it?"

Jiang Wan nodded, "Well, she married Chen Jie that day. ”

"Is she married to Chen Jie?" Rong Caiwei was surprised, Chen Jie was a perverted embryo she knew, a loser who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and she was looking for her father to marry her, daydreaming. He and Rong Sheng are very suitable, a bastard and a lowly.

"No, I got married. Jiang Wan seemed to have a pity, "Don't look at her as a concubine, she has a high heart and vision, and she can't look down on the Chen family." No matter how poor the Chen family is, it is also the richest man in Hecheng, and the girls from ordinary families are in a hurry to marry her? You say, when she came back this time, did she not leave, and wanted to stay as Miss Rong's family. ”

Rong Caiwei swore an oath: "Impossible, she told the elders and her father that she would only stay for a few days, and leave after the sacrifice to Mrs. Rong." ”

Jiang Wan snatched a few melon seeds from Rong Caiwei's palm, placed them on the square table, and gestured: "Worshiping Mrs. Rong is an excuse for her to stay in the Rong family. In my opinion, she wanted to delay her time in Rongfu. ”

She saw that Rong Caiwei's face was getting worse and worse, and continued to add oil and vinegar, "Isn't it enough to have a Rong Qingyi who has been favored by thousands of people in Rongfu, and then Rong Sheng, who still recognizes your identity as Miss Rong?" She is a concubine, and she is also Rong Qingyi's own sister, what about your concubine, she is barely Rong Qingyi's cousin." Part of the reason why your father is doing a lot of things on his birthday and making friends is to pave the way for you to find a husband who wishes. If everyone can't get Rong Qingyi, they will definitely retreat, can you compare to Rong Sheng?"

"The second uncle has been expelled from Rongfu, Rong Sheng's mother has passed away, and it is not so easy for her to restore the identity of Miss Rongfu. Rong Caiwei said this, but she didn't think so in her heart, vaguely worried that Rong Sheng would snatch everything she had.

"Well, saying all this is to remind you to keep a few more mindful eyes. If you're not happy, then I won't talk about it. Jiang Wan picked up the tea and tasted it leisurely, and the afterglow collided with the man opposite, and the tea instantly choked in her throat.
