Chapter 189 Second Uncle was sinister and selfish

Madam Luo and Sun Meiniang were shocked for a moment that they had never seen Luo Chuangu like this. Luo Chuangu had a gentle temper, like a half bowl of warm water. Unexpectedly, he could hurt others.

Knowing that her son had been always worried about not having a son, Madam Luo took pity on him and understood his anger. However, Ding Rong’s wife was not a common servant. In fact, she didn’t have to be a servant for a long time. One of her sons was Ninth-Grade Country Magistrate, and her another son had made a lot of money by selling leather goods. Now both of them wanted to look after her and asked her to enjoy a happy life in their homes as a master. But Ding Rong’s wife was reluctant to leave Sun Meiniang. She said that now she was only in her fifties and still strong. After a decade, she was too old to work for Second Mistress Luo. Then she would go to her son’s homes to enjoy life.

Even if they didn’t think of Ding Rong’s wife as a loyal servant, they must consider that if one day her son was promoted to be a high-ranking official, Ding Rong’s wife would become an imperial mandate countess. Although she couldn’t compare with Madam Luo, who was a Sixth-Grade imperial mandate countess, she was also a woman with high grade. At that time, if she bore grudges on the old affairs of being beaten, she could file a lawsuit against Luo Chuangu, who was a common person, at any time.

Considering this, Madam Luo ordered maids to pull Luo Chuangu away. Then Li Jiuguang’s wife and others dragged Luo Chuangu who was as crazy as a wild dog away. Meanwhile, the face of Ding Rong’s wife was covered with red marks, and her 2 teeth were lost. She was crawling on the ground, like He Danggui, and scratching the carpet in pain.

After releasing the real disposition, which was always repressed, Luo Chuangu became quite different. He even kicked and beat down several maids who entangled him. Then he went to He Danggui step by step. Huai Hua was frightened and stepped forward to protect He Danggui’s head. She cried out, “No! My miss will die soon. Please do me a favor and let her go. She still has a lot of last words to say.”

He Danggui said unhappily, “Your feet! Your feet were stepping on my hair! Huai Hua, get out of my way. What are you talking about? Second Lord is my uncle. How can he do harm to me? Get out of my way quickly. Don’t bother us.”

Huai Hua left with her mouth pursed and said, “I want to go to the restroom. You go ahead.” Then she turned back and left. When He Danggui was concerning that Huai Hua would make some troubles, Luo Chuangu said with a hoarse voice, “My niece, we treated you well. We provided the best yard for you and sent you to the best school. Your food, clothing, and expenditure are as same as other Misses in Luo’s Mansion. Why did you do harm to my child? After Concubine Hua woke up, she has testified that you changed the antiabortifacient. What hatred did Second Branch have against you that you could do such a vicious thing?”

He Danggui listened to him calmly and said calmly, “Second Uncle, please calm down. Thanks to the kindness of my grandfather, I could be written in the family tree of Luo’s Family and became Fourth Branch of East Yard of Luo’s Family together with my mother. Therefore, I always regarded myself as a member of Luo’s Family. How could I do harm to the next generation? As soon as I entered the door, I was eager to defend my innocence. However, all the people didn’t give me the chance to defend. Then, I was put on a pair of big locks of 100 jin. I don’t know what ‘evidence’ you have seen and how much testimony you have heard. But I’ll defend myself instead of being afraid to confront with it. Anyway, when a person is dying, his or her last words are true. I don’t have to hide anything.”

It was the first time that Luo Chuangu had said so many words to his niece. In former days, he always watched his wife persecute his niece. So, he felt subconsciously that not only did his niece hate his wife, but also hate him. Having watched his wife persecute his niece so long, Luo Chuangu unconsciously thought of his niece as an enemy and the opposite person in the family.

However, at this moment, Luo Chuangu thought that he had a rift with Sun Meiniang, and he suspected that all the evil things were done by her. But Sun Meiniang was his first wife. He knew her superb skills, and he could not get an answer in a friendly debate. Therefore, he thought of his niece He Danggui, who had thrived under the persecution of Sun Meiniang. Now he was 70 percent sure that He Danggui wasn’t the true murderer of harming Concubine Hua. He wanted to reveal the real murderer. But not only did he have no way to solve the problem without hurting his feelings, but also he didn’t have the courage to ask directly.

So, Luo Chuangu came up with an idea to ask He Danggui. He wanted to use his identity of original member of Luo’s Family to show his kindness and sternness so as to oppress and tell her that she couldn’t be so ungrateful because what she ate and wore were all offered by Luo’s Family. In this way, she would defend herself and help him find the real murderer.

Luo Chuangu had already found that since He Danggui came back to Luo’s Family 3 years ago, her spirit had changed, and her oral ability was totally different from before. The most amazing thing was her analytical ability. No matter how Sun Meiniang set up a trap to confuse everyone with appearances, He Danggui could always recognize and explain it clearly in a few words. Every time before Sun Meiniang could find out the reason why she failed, her argument was ill-founded. Luo Chuangu could see clearly that the only mistake made by Sun Meiniang was that she was not as calm as He Danggui, so she was inferior to He Danggui in momentum.

Why didn’t make use of such a calm and clever niece to find the answer? Anyhow, she didn’t want to die under the name of murderer.

Thinking of this wonderful idea, Luo Chuangu said with a foxy smile, “Yi, I trust you firmly, but Concubine Hua said you had the old grudge with her, so you had the motive to hurt her. A lot of maids have seen you in Medicine Room and witnessed that you have touched the antiabortifacient of Concubine Hua. A maid named Mi Li found your jade pendant nearby the antiabortifacient mixed with abortifacient. Can’t all these evidences make you plead guilty?”

How smart He Danggui was. When she heard the tone of Luo Chuangu’s words, she recognized that he was not “questioning” the prisoner, but “inducing” the witness. It seemed that he had started suspecting Sun Meiniang, but he wouldn’t like to point out bluntly. So, he wanted to cooperate with her to find the murderer. Of course, Luo Chuangu didn’t ask her for permission to do so. He didn’t seem to look for a partner to solve the case but use her as a tool... He didn’t want to do this by himself, so he used the hand of her.

However, the reason why He Danggui had lain on the carpet for a long time with this pair of fake stone lock of 5 jin was to wait for the opportunity to find out the real murderer. Whether the opportunity was sinister or selfish, it was the only one chance she had been waiting for.

He Danggui kept silent for a while, and then she said to the main hall, “Madam, please ask someone to go to the woodshed and release Run Xiang. Even though she is guilty, we can punish her after she comes here.”

Madam Luo also suspected that the child of Run Xiang belonged to Luo Chuangu, so she nodded and said, “Li Jiuguang’s wife, take 2 maids to go to the woodshed of Bao Qin Ge. Put Run Xiang down and check her condition. If she’s still pregnant, take her to Medicine Room to recuperate... If not, take her here.”

Looking at Li Jiuguang’s wife come out, Sun Meiniang changed her face a lot. Madam Luo did not ask the opinion of her as the wife in charge of the family and let people release Run Xiang. Not only did Madam Luo release Run Xiang, but also Madam Luo focused her eyes on the pregnancy. It was clear that she had acquiesced that the child in Run Xiang’s belly was the descendant of Luo’s Family. That was to say that Sun Meiniang persecuted Run Xiang and her child because of jealousy! Damn it! How could a humble woman as Run Xiang get an honorable son!

Sun Meiniang, who had been in charge of Luo’s Mansion and had done whatever she wanted for many years, had never been treated so coldly in public for a long time. She was irritated and regretted that she shouldn’t miscarry the son on that year.

Over these years, she seemed to be very powerful in Luo’s Family. But in fact, she had to take efforts to prevent Luo Chuangu’s concubines from being pregnant and eliminate all the children of the women around him. It was not because she liked Luo Chuangu very much. It was because that she knew the importance of a son. Once Luo Chuangu had a son, this son would be the first master of Luo’s Family in the future. If Luo’s Family was to be separated in the future, the son could take 70 percent of the property of Luo’s Family and the whole San Qing Tang. Therefore, this son must belong to her, so that she could live without worry.

Over the past years, after she gave birth to Shao, she had been pregnant twice, but none of them could be kept in their 3 months. She kept them in her uterus, but suddenly they all became dead babies. The doctor did not approve of her pregnancy again. And the doctor said that it was very likely that she would have a dead fetus. Did she have to spend her life dealing with the vile spawns of Luo Chuangu? She thought in herself, “He Jingxian! I hate you. I regret. You are full of scorpion venom and destroyed my life! I won’t let you go!”

He Danggui said with a smile, “Second Uncle, are you muddled? There are 2 ‘witnesses’ about Run Xiang just now, Administrator Ding and Wu Jiu. As for ‘evidence’, it is easy for Administrator Ding to find something private between Run Xiang and Wu Jiu. Can this explain that Run Xiang is a woman who has an affair with a servant? Run Xiang has achieved such a high position as a warehouse administrator of the wife in charge of the family, which is regarded as the high position among the maids and is envied by others. If she falls in love with one servant and goes to ask master’s permission, is she afraid of not being allowed to marry? Why does she want to break her future and her innocence?”

Luo Chuangu was silent for a while and reminded, “I am talking about Concubine Hua. Why are you always talking about Run Xiang?”

There were no misgivings about the Run Xiang. It was clear that Sun Meiniang harmed Run Xiang. But Luo Chuangu was not willing to reveal this in pubic because he was guilty of Sun Meiniang on this matter.

A few months ago, Sun Meiniang’s mother was ill, so she asked him to go with her to have a visit. He made up an excuse and didn’t go with her. It was because he suddenly found that Run Xiang, who was always inseparable from Sun Meiniang, didn’t follow her. Instead, Run Xiang stayed to check the accounts of the warehouse. He had coveted the woman who was as pitiful as white lotus root in her twenties for a long time. So, if not now, when?

After the first unvoiced pact between Luo Chuangu and Run Xiang, Luo Chuangu often took any opportunity to have a date with Run Xiang when Sun Meiniang came back from Sun’s Family, which was unknown to Sun Meiniang. After that, when he faced Sun Meiniang’s virtuous face, he felt guilty. So, after hitting Ding Rong’s wife just now, he decided not to investigate the issue of Run Xiang. But Concubine Hua was his concubine. How could a boy in her belly become stupid? He must find it out!

He Danggui nodded with a smile and said, “My Second Uncle, take it easy. The matter of Run Xiang is a transition. I’ll talk about Concubine Hua later.”

Luo Chuangu pondered and then said, “Regardless of Run Xiang. Anyway, her child can’t be kept.”

He Danggui shook her head and said with disapproval, “No. If it’s omitted, there is nothing interesting. Second Uncle, don’t you like to invite storytellers to come home and hear stories from them? The story I am talking about is more interesting and more vivid than theirs because it is true.”
