Chapter 9: Copy 1: The Underworld Bride 5
There is still no one in the yard, and the decoration here should be the main courtyard where the owner lives, and no one happens to facilitate her movement.
Bai Qianwu pushed the door and entered a room, which looked like a study, in addition to the books on the entire wall, there were also a few paintings hanging on the wall.
It's all landscape paintings, and there is nothing strange about it, Bai Qianwu opened the scroll, the back of the wall was flat and neat, and there was no space like a dark grid, Bai Qianwu didn't feel at ease and knocked on it.
Well, solid.
The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the wooden table were neatly placed, and she also flipped through the account books on the table, recording the expenses and income of the house.
There were a lot of books on the bookshelf against the wall, Bai Qianwu didn't want to flip through them, so she glanced at the cover casually and didn't look at it, all the books on it were the Three Character Sutra, the Tao Te Ching and the like.
There are a few dried lotus flowers in the blue and white porcelain vat in the inconspicuous corner, and there are a few scrolls of paintings in it, Bai Qianwu took out a scroll of paintings and opened it to observe carefully, the woman on the painting is quite familiar, and the bride who married in the hall last night is somewhat similar, and there should be a relationship between the two.
Put the scroll back in its place, Bai Qianwu took out the other paintings and looked at them one by one, there were three scrolls of paintings, all of which were painted by the same woman, and according to the style of painting, they were painted by the same person.
Judging from the attitude of the lady, she obviously has an enmity with the bride, the bride is very similar to the woman in the painting, the painting paper is slightly yellow, it should be some years, if nothing else, this woman and the bride are mother and daughter.
How could the portrait of the bride's mother appear in the study of the main courtyard, Bai Qianwu didn't think that the housemother of the family had a crush on the bride's mother, this should have something to do with the master of the family.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the house, coming here, Bai Qianwu quickly packed up her things and climbed out of the window the moment the door opened.
Madame entered the house and found nothing wrong, closed the door, walked to the blue and white porcelain jar, took out a scroll of paintings, opened it, put it on the desk, and began to mumble to herself.
Bai Qianwu squatted by the window and listened to the sounds inside, she didn't need to deliberately get close to hear the movement inside.
"Lichun, your daughter has been killed by me, she is lucky to be able to turn into a ghost tonight, tonight I must call her to die without returning, hahahahaha, slut, both of you mother and daughter are sluts, one seduces my husband and the other seduces my son, you can't do it when I am a mud bodhisattva."
From Madame's self-talk, Bai Qianwu probably knew a secret.
The lord and the wife's family are world friends, the lord's family has declined, and the wife's parents did not dislike the divorce, but firmly supported them to get married, the only condition is that the lord enters their family, their family is just this one daughter, and the property is left to the daughter, as for the surname, they don't force him to change, or follow their parents' surnames.
The old man and his family are depressed and have no money, and they can't afford to eat immediately, he feels that he is insulting him, but if he doesn't get rich, he can't bear the previous life of fine clothes and food, in the end he is still rich, but he is resentful.
After only a year or two of marriage, Mrs.'s parents died one after another, and the lord also started to think crookedly, he wanted to swallow the property of Mrs. Madame's family, so he took advantage of the death of Mrs. Parents, and she gave birth to a son early under her grief to take the initiative to take on the responsibility, and Mrs. moved to give him half of the power.
The lord got the power to secretly cultivate a group of his own people without the knowledge of his wife, and also fell in love with the bride's mother Lichun at first sight, he placed Lichun outside to make his outer room, and gave birth to a daughter who was the bride the next year.
Lichun died in childbirth, and Mrs. didn't even know that he had raised a woman outside and gave birth to a cheap seed.
Su Xin was sent to his henchman's house by the master to raise him until he was five years old before he was brought into the house, and his argument with his wife was to train domestic servants for the family, and his wife didn't think much about it and readily agreed.
It just so happened that her son was born weak and had a bad heart and no peers to play with, and this little girl was one year old behind him, so it was okay to play with him.
Su Xin has always been raised by Mrs.'s side, Mrs. is also very fond of her, so the master proposed to let Su Xin be an adopted daughter, Mrs. said that she had actually agreed to consider it, and she also specially prepared a set of dowry for Su Xin, the specifications are the dowry specifications of the young lady of the family, it can be said that she was raised as a daughter.
The change appeared when the young master and her were seventeen or eighteen years old, the two fell in love for a long time, and secretly did that kind of thing and was bumped into by Mrs. Madame, Mrs. was angry at first, and then she looked at the end of the heart, and she watched her grow up and knew the roots, so she agreed to be together, and told the master about it.
The old man was furious, ordered the two to separate, and called Su Xin to the study to talk, Mrs. was afraid that Su Xin would be punished and immediately went to the study to intercede, but she didn't expect to hear what she heard made her like a lightning strike.
Su Xin is the daughter of the master, and Su Xin has always known that she and the master are father and daughter, which means that she knew that she and the young master were brother and sister.
Madame didn't notice that she was still followed by the frail young master, and their mother and son heard the words inside at the same time, and the young master fell to the ground with a plop covering his heart, attracting the attention of people inside and outside the house.
The scene was in a mess, and the young master barely saved his life after treatment, but he couldn't wake up for a long time.
Seeing that things were like this, the old man simply said the words that had been held in his heart for a long time, he hated their family, her parents were actually killed by him with chronic poison, if it weren't for the fear that outsiders would be suspicious, he would directly kill her and let their family go down to reunite.
He dared to say that the whole thing was that he had absolute confidence, and Madame couldn't turn it over, and he would get the little property left in her hand sooner or later, as for his son, he really loved him, he was such a lone seedling, and he still wanted to change his son's surname back to his.
The lady is going crazy, the husband cheats, and the illegitimate daughter is brought to the house to lie to her to raise, the son and the illegitimate daughter have an indecent affection, the husband took away most of the family's property from her, and even her biological parents were killed by him.
The lord ordered the grounding of Mrs. and Su Xin, and Mrs. begged the lord to let her go to her son's yard to take care of her son, but the lord still felt sorry for his son, so he agreed to Mrs. 's request.
The young master finally woke up after half a month under the careful care of his wife, and the whole person was very sick and skinny, and he didn't mention Su Xin from beginning to end, only looked at his mother's gray hair in distress.
The lord and his wife thought that their son was developing in a good direction, but they didn't expect him to commit suicide by diving while the family was not paying attention.
On the night when the young master committed suicide, the lady was completely blackened, she sent away her husband with a glass of poisonous wine, and the property naturally returned to her as soon as the master died, as for his body, she chopped it up and threw it into the mass grave to feed the beasts, and the burial was an empty coffin.
