Chapter 198: True Biography
"Your name is Tong'er?"
Li Qingyi spoke indifferently.
Tong Er was so nervous that she was sweating uncontrollably on her forehead: "Yes, I'm Tong Er."
"Which master of the Cui family are you the maidservant next to the master, why did you leave the Cui family and return home."
"The slave is ...... It is the maid next to Aunt Pang, and the aunt is sympathetic to the slave and maid's family, and there are children to take care of, so she is allowed to let the slave and maid return to their hometown......
Chen Zhengdao: "Didn't you say yesterday that you just went out of the city to do errands for Aunt Pang?"
Tong Er was stunned, and suddenly knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she answered according to the other party's words, and subconsciously said the words of returning home, "I ......"
Li Qingyi looked at Tong Er and said, "I guess you don't know me, so I can forgive you for the nonsense you just made. But then, if you have half a word false, I will give you a taste of what it is like to live better than die."
Li Qingyi's face was expressionless, his tone was normal, and there was neither cold nor anger in his eyes, but Tong Er felt extremely terrifying.
If you disobey her, you will have no good fruit to eat.
But how dare she tell the truth! She hung her head deeply, biting her lower lip without saying a word.
Li Qingyi looked at her appearance and didn't say much, just stretched out his hand and signaled to Chang Lang.
The chief opened a dark brown wooden box and handed it to her.
Chen Zheng couldn't help but stretch his neck to look inside, only to see that there was only a comb in the box, and he couldn't help but glance at each other strangely, not understanding what Li Qingyi was going to do.
Tong Er heard the movement and looked into the box carefully, but there was no snake and insect poison as she imagined.
Li Qingyi looked at her and smiled lightly, picked up the comb and held it in his hand, brought it to Tong Er's eyes, and said, "I don't know if you have heard the story of the old man who was licked off his face by a wild bear in the mountains?"
Everyone was inexplicable, and they all looked at the comb in her hand. Only then did I notice that this comb was actually glowing with gold and iron.
On the palm-wide comb board stood dozens of sharp comb rulers, like barbs on a wild bear's tongue, the tip of which was slightly hooked.
Tong Er's scalp exploded, and the blood on his face faded in an instant, "This, what is this?"
Li Qingyi handed the comb to Tong Er's face: "You want to know what this is? You can give it a try. Just once, your face will be like being licked by a bear's tongue. The flesh is gone, and the bones are visible."
As soon as Li Qingyi's voice fell, even Chen Zheng was stunned.
Even Jiang Shun, who was in the market and had seen countless bloody and tragic things, couldn't believe it when he heard this.
He looked at the slender girl in front of him, how could she say such a thing coldly and coldly without a trace of emotion?
People who watched the excitement felt that their hairs stood on end, not to mention Tong Er, who was intimidated.
She suddenly trembled like chaff, "You, why are you doing this to me? I have no grievance with you......
"Don't say such meaningless things to me."
Li Qingyi sneered: "My patience is limited, I ask a question and you answer, if there is half a lie, no matter whether you have done bad things or not, you will have to suffer first."
Tong Er's back was cold, and she was so frightened that she almost held her breath, she didn't understand why the girl in front of her was so terrifying!
There was a smile in Li Qingyi's eyes, she had followed Qin Zeng in her previous life, she had never eaten pork, and she had never seen a pig run?
This kind of thing of extorting confessions by torture has been passed on by Dongchang!
Even this comb was borrowed from Qin Zeng.
She said word by word, "Let's talk about your identity in the Cui family first."
Tong Er opened her mouth, wanting to repeat what she had just answered, but looking at the comb and the expressionless girl in front of her, she couldn't help but be deflated, and tears instantly flowed all over her face.
She gritted her teeth and said, "I am the personal maid of Cui Changxin, the son of the Cui family."
Li Qingyi looked at her as if she was aggrieved and unwilling, and continued to ask, "Are you very close to Cui Changxin?"
As soon as Tong Er heard this, she knew that the other party had already guessed.
She closed her eyes in pain and laughed self-deprecatingly, unable to hide her emotions any longer. Just as once the floodgates are opened, the flood will rush out, and there will be no need for restraint.
With tears in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and said, "I entered the mansion at the age of ten and served by Cui Changxin's side for nine years. During this period, we had a relationship, but I was used to seeing pickles between wives and concubines in the house, and I didn't want to be small, so I never agreed to him. Until one time he was seriously ill, during the illness, he begged in every possible way, saying that he didn't want to leave regrets, and the woman he wanted most in his life was me...... As soon as I was soft-hearted, I became husband and wife with him......
Through a few beams of light, the dilapidated window lattice was projected onto Tong Er's constantly falling tears, and those crystal clear water droplets like gems were weakened by her sad and contrite look, and became extremely dark.
"Since then, I have been dedicated to his own good, and I have to think of him first in everything. But I was never denied a place because he had not yet married a wife. But he never behaved badly to the other girls around him, so I waited with peace of mind until one day......
"You realize that what he said was nothing more than a lie to you?"
"Yes!" Tong Er's voice suddenly became sharper: "He lied to me! All men in the world are the same, they only like what they can't get!".
Jiang Shun and the others couldn't help but be embarrassed when they heard this, but Tong Er didn't have time to pay attention to their expressions.
She said hatefully, "I never thought that Cui Changxin, who was gentle and considerate when he was with me, would be a beast that is not as good as a beast! His own mother-in-law was moved."
Chen Zheng was surprised: "You mean, Cui Changxin has a crush on his father's concubine?"
Tong Er pursed her lips and nodded, and continued for a while: "Aunt Ning is only in her early twenties, she is the master's favorite concubine, and she is a bewitching personality on weekdays, and she is a mortal enemy with Aunt Pang. But Cui Changxin was crooked about her! I once bumped into them in the garden in the middle of the night......
"I was so angry that I almost rushed out and slapped Aunt Ning a few times. But I suddenly realized that I was just a servant! A servant girl who has been toyed with by the young master! I'm not in a position to accuse any of them! Moreover, once this kind of thing is publicized, I don't know what will happen to them, but I myself am certain to die!"
"So, you don't want to be toyed with, and you have revenge, right?"
When Li Qingyi heard this, he had almost guessed the whole story, it turned out that Jiang Shun's sister Jiang Ping'er was just suffering from the disaster of the pond fish.
Sure enough, Tong Er said, "That's right, I'm not reconciled. After that night, I understood why Cui Changxin was not interested in the handmaidens around him. Because a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing. He only liked what he couldn't get, and maybe it was because of that that he would deceive me in every way at that time. I gave myself for him, but what did I get in return? How can I make him feel better for such a filthy brute."
Tong Er's tears had stopped, and all that remained on her face was hatred.
She said, "I was in close quarters with him, and it was easy to do something in his medicine. I pretended not to notice anything, but every time I decocted the medicine, I increased the amount of one of the herbs."
"Originally, although Cui Changxin's health was not good, he was not as weak as rumored, and most of the time Aunt Pang made a fuss in order to compete for favor. Since then, his health has deteriorated day by day...... At the same time, under my intentional or unintentional reminder, Aunt Pang knew about his son and Aunt Ning......
Tong Er sneered, "Aunt Pang is shocked and angry, she is very afraid. If this matter is discovered by the master, their mother and son will be implicated, and falling out of favor is inevitable. So, she tried to cover it up. So she used Chongxi as an excuse to set up a family for her son to take care of."
"As soon as she came, Aunt Pang hoped that her son would get a fresh person and cut off contact with Aunt Ning. Second, the bride came from a humble background, and she didn't dare to publicize the matter of Cui Changxin and Aunt Ning in the future. Otherwise, even if Cui Changxin is a concubine, it is impossible to marry the daughter of a commoner."
When Jiang Shun heard this, he also understood the cause of his sister's death, and the green tendons on his head burst out, and he almost wanted to punch the initiator in front of him to death.
But he was born
The raw endured. If Tong Er died at this time, then Aunt Pang would not be able to get the retribution she deserved.
Li Qingyi glanced at him in admiration, he could still keep his sanity like this, but he was measured.
Tong Er said, "On the day Cui Changxin got married, his body was already very weak, and I added some ephedra to his medicine...... Ephedra can induce heart palpitations, and a body like his is enough to cause sudden death......
Speaking of which, the cause and effect of this incident are already clear.
Chen Zheng asked, "But the person is already dead, why does Aunt Pang say that Jiang Ping'er killed Cui Changxin, what good is it for her?"
"There shouldn't be so many coincidences in the world, but there are coincidences everywhere."
Tong Er sneered, glanced at Jiang Shun and said, "Aunt Pang has been secretly looking for a long time before she has set her sights on the daughter of the Jiang family, her face is handsome, her temperament is honest, and there is no threat to her family. Only then did he order someone to design that Mr. Jiang lost a large sum of money and forced him to agree to marry his daughter. She was afraid that the Jiang family's father and son would regret that something would happen to her, so she took Jiang Ping'er to the Cui family in advance on the grounds that the Jiang family had no dowry to buy wedding dresses and other things."
Jiang Shun's whole body froze.
Tong Er looked at him and sneered, "It's also Jiang Ping'er's bad luck. On the eve of the wedding, Cui Changxin's animal life and death did not change, and he found Aunt Ning to entangle, but who knows, but he was bumped into by Jiang Ping'er."
Not only did the crowd lament that it was too coincidental.
"Huh...... Aunt Pang thought, anyway, Jiang Ping'er will marry Cui Changxin on the second day, and when the raw rice is cooked and matured, she will become Cui Changxin's person, Jiang Ping'er will not talk nonsense and destroy her future for the rest of her life. Moreover, she was beating from time to time, and she didn't think there would be any trouble, so she just took care of Jiang Ping'er. But she never imagined that Cui Changxin died while worshipping the church! Hahaha...... Haha!"
Tong Er couldn't help laughing, laughing madly, laughing at Aunt Pang's stupidity, and laughing at Cui Changxin for getting the retribution he deserved.
Laughing and laughing, she couldn't stop crying again.
Jiang Shun couldn't wait for her to finish crying, and asked with tears in her eyes, "So Aunt Pang dragged my sister to Cui Changxin's funeral, did she want to kill people and kill her?"
