Chapter 214 Tao Lanlan is dead
Outside the capital city was a scenery that Tao Lanlan had never seen before.
Although the mountains are not clear and the water is not beautiful at this time,
For Tao Lanlan, this is the most beautiful scenery in the world.
She still couldn't believe it, "Sister-in-law, have we really left the capital?"
"Not yet, we just left the city gate, but this area of dozens of miles is still the territory of the capital." Jiang Shuyue said.
Xiao Lin was curious. This was her first time here, so how did she know so much?
But his little woman has always been smart, so he didn't think much about it.
For Tao Lanlan, who seldom leaves the Tao family, this place really seems like a vast world, and she is full of anticipation for the life that is about to begin.
"Sister-in-law, I can do anything. I can learn even if I don't know how to do it." Tao Lanlan whispered.
"You are a guest, how can I ask you to work?"
"No, sister-in-law, we are a family, I am not a guest. I want to live with you in the future, okay?" Tao Lanlan was full of anticipation, but afraid of being rejected.
"No, actually... we are not really a family, but sister-in-law, I know you are a good person, and I don't want to go back to that home, I just want to follow you."
Jiang Shuyue smiled and said, "Aren't we a family? Even if you get married, we are still considered a family, right?"
"No, sister-in-law." Tao Lanlan looked around cautiously, but realized that there were no Tao family members here anymore; they were outside the city.
The thought that had been extinguished countless times because of fear came up again, "Sister-in-law, I have something I don't know whether I should tell you or not."
Jiang Shuyue was keenly aware of something, and remembering how she hesitated to speak last time, she also felt that it might be something she shouldn't say.
"If you want to say it, say it. If you don't want to say it, don't say it. No one forces you."
Tao Lanlan bit her lip and said, "I...I've always wanted to say it, but I don't dare. If the Tao family knew about it, I would be beaten to death."
"so serious?"
Tao Lanlan nodded. "Although I don't know why, I still have to tell you, sister-in-law, that brother is not a child of the Tao family."
Xiao Lin suddenly pulled the reins, the car shook, but then continued to move forward slowly.
Jiang Shuyue looked at her with interest, "How did you know that?"
Tao Lanlan was still too young to notice Jiang Shuyue's calmness. "I... I heard my elder sister talking to a man. That man is..."
"It was Prince Duan. My eldest brother is not the child of the Tao family, but he asked the Tao family to recognize him, saying that it was for emergency use. I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn't dare to listen more."
Although he had known this for a long time, Jiang Shuyue was still quite shocked.
"This should be a huge secret, how dare you tell us?"
"I know my sister-in-law is a good person, and I don't want to hide it from you."
Jiang Shuyue exhaled, "Lanlan, you are such a good girl."
Tao Lanlan then realized that her sister-in-law's expression was too calm.
"You... knew this a long time ago?"
Jiang Shuyue smiled and said, "Lanlan, from now on, you are a dead person?"
Tao Lanlan was so frightened that her face turned pale. Was her sister-in-law going to silence her?
But the next moment, Jiang Shuyue smiled.
She was a little confused. What was going on?
"Tao family, you probably don't want to go back, right?"
Tao Lanlan nodded, "No, sister-in-law, you are a good person, let me follow you."
"What about your mother?"
"My mother doesn't love me at all because I'm not a boy. She blames me for all the mistakes and beats and scolds me all the time. Sister-in-law, no one treated me well before I met you."
Tao Lanlan looked at Jiang Shuyue sincerely, "I seem to know some big secret, and I don't know what to do."
Jiang Shuyue chuckled, "You're really young. You're obviously scared, but you still have expectations of me?"
"You think I won't kill you?"
Tao Lanlan nodded, "If you don't want me, then no one else will. If I go back, they will beat me to death sooner or later. If they don't beat me to death, I won't have a good life."
Jiang Shuyue touched her head and said, "Just because you risked your life to tell us the truth, I will treat you well, Lanlan. I will write a letter to the Tao family in two days, saying that you caught a cold on the road and died."
Tao Lanlan was stunned and didn't know what to say.
"From now on, Tao Lanlan, the second young lady of the Tao family, is a dead person."
In this way, the crime of genocide committed by the Tao family would not be blamed on this child.
Tao Lanlan nodded, "Sister-in-law, I will listen to you."
She had no one else to trust and nowhere else to go anyway.
"You really think carefully about her."
Xiao Lin's voice was low and magnetic.
"Since they have come out with us, we have to take care of them."
"You can write the letter in two days. This way, the entire Tao family will know about this matter to avoid any trouble later."
Tao Lanlan didn't understand what they were saying. She felt a little nervous, but also a little excited.
"Then I won't be called Tao Lanlan anymore? What will I be called from now on?"
"You can call me whatever you want." Jiang Shuyue patted her shoulder, "You can make your own decision from now on."
Tao Lanlan nodded as if she understood, then she showed the happiest smile she had ever seen since Jiang Shuyue first saw her.
But soon, Tao Lanlan also discovered that her elder brother and elder sister-in-law did not seem to dislike each other.
When eating, the eldest brother would be the first to hand her the chopsticks, wipe them considerately with a towel, and even pick out the food in the bowl that she didn't want to eat.
What did she discover?
Jiang Shuyue patted her little head and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Tao Lanlan shook her head, "No, this noodle is delicious."
"Little girl, eat quickly, we still have to go on our way after eating."
Tao Lanlan nodded, "Sister-in-law, can I still call you that from now on? Or should I call you Madam? Miss?"
"Whatever, you can call me whatever you want."
"Can I call you sister? I feel closer to you."
"can."
Jiang Shuyue's consent made Tao Lanlan happy for the whole afternoon, and she was smiling even in her dreams at night.
She will no longer have nightmares about being beaten or being called a lowly creature.
Five days later, the news of Tao Lanlan's death reached the Tao family in Beijing. As expected, it did not cause any waves.
Even Tao Lanlan's mother, Aunt Li, did not shed a few tears. She said angrily, "She deserves it. I told her not to go, but she refused to listen. What a slut, what a short-lived ghost."
Madam Tao sighed, "Dead is dead, but the poor girl still has some beauty. If she is raised up, she might be useful."
"Mother, I will be the concubine of Prince Duan in the future. Others will rush to curry favor with us, but there will be no time to use her. What do you plan to do with that person?"
Liang Zhaodi was already the concubine in the mansion, and Tao Yide slept in her room every night. According to the servants, the two of them were restless every night and made a lot of trouble.
