Chapter 126 The Lady of the Constable's House (4)
"Miss, you may not believe it, but you are the one marrying the fool anyway."
"There is no basis for it."
"It's hard to say whether there is any evidence or not. It's easy to catch an adulterer. Concubine Xu has been leaving the house once every seven days recently. This time, she must have gone to have sex with her adulterer."
Zhang Jin'er thought about the tragic past life when she was beaten to death by a fool and thrown into a mass grave. Xu Shi tortured herself in the mansion every day and left the mansion every seven days...
"Who is my biological mother then?"
"Miss, you are very quick-witted. Since Zhang Jieying is not the daughter of the Zhang family's mistress, this vacant position..."
Zhang Jin'er understood that the eldest lady was the one who treated her better in the mansion, and because of her, she was spared many beatings from Xu.
Comparing Zhang Jieying's facial features, she didn't expect Xu to be so bold. No wonder she often nagged her not to get too close to the first lady.
"This is all just speculation."
Gu Yuxi didn't beat around the bush and said calmly: "Miss Zhang, you want to get rid of that in-law, but that's too cowardly. Why not return this marriage to the real person? Then the Zhang family will be easier to control."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You are a woman, it is unlikely that you will inherit the Zhang family's things. You have been hiding for many years. Do you want to make a big profit in the end? It would be boring to fake your death and escape."
Zhang Jin'er lowered her head. How did this person know that she was going to use a trick to kill someone else? She glared at him and said angrily, "I don't understand what you are talking about!"
Gu Yuxi said nothing, picked up the teacup, toasted Zhang Jiner, and then said with a smile: "Miss Zhang, Master Zhang is useless. If Zhang Jieying elopes with someone, who will have the final say in the future of the Zhang family?"
"That has nothing to do with me."
"How come it has nothing to do with you? If you take back your position as the legitimate daughter, it will be easier to do things with your status as the legitimate daughter of the Zhang family, the richest family in Pingxiang County. It won't be as sneaky as before."
To be honest, Zhang Jin'er was tempted. If Xu... replaced the prince with a cat, she would take revenge!
She looked directly at the man in front of her and said seriously, "Name your price for what you want. As long as it's not murder, arson, burning, looting, or anything else, I can help you achieve it."
"Miss Zhang, you are joking. I said it at the beginning. I just want to seek revenge on Zhang Jieying's biological father. It has nothing to do with other people. As for what happens next, it is not for a mere man like me to decide."
Then, Gu Yuxi said boldly: "In ancient times, there was a tyrant who lit beacons to trick the princes. Miss Jin'er is a beauty, and I am also angry for her!"
call out!
A dagger was pressed against Gu Yuxi's neck, and the woman's angry voice came: "You damn pervert, how dare you bully me!"
Gu Yuxi quickly knocked the dagger from his neck, caught the dagger with his bare hands, played with it in his hand, and smiled.
"why are you laughing?"
"Miss Jin'er, you are amazing. Women in this world are too pretentious. Even if you leave the Zhang family, you will not be manipulated by others."
Zhang Jin'er also smiled and slowly took the dagger from Gu Yuxi's hand. The cold sweat on her back betrayed her nervousness.
"I was just joking with you, young man."
"It's quite funny. It's my honor to make a beautiful lady smile."
"You don't want a reward, then it's easy. To catch an adulterer, you have to catch both of them. The first step is to get the adulterer and the adulteress busy. If Zhang Jieying eloped, then wouldn't that make things busy?"
Gu Yuxi gave Zhang Jiner a thumbs up. It was so comfortable to chat with smart people.
"Since you want revenge, then do it well. I look forward to your performance!"
"Miss, what do you mean?"
"I've already said that if we catch someone cheating in bed, we have to catch both of them, the old one and the young one. My eldest sister and that scholar are in love with each other, and we won't do anything to break them up."
"That's naturally the beauty of adulthood."
The two chatted for a while until the maid outside the door urged them to stop.
Watching Zhang Jin'er walk away lightly, Gu Yuxi laughed at himself: "The fluctuations in the small world, the cannon fodder's counterattack, this is not something I can decide."
Zhang Jin'er quickened her pace back to the Zhang Mansion. When she reached the gate, she happened to see Zhang Jieying getting off the carriage in a grand manner.
"stop!"
She regained her composure, returned to her former timid self, walked over and saluted Zhang Jieying.
"Miss."
"My concubine sister, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but you are going to get married soon anyway. It's not in line with the style of our Zhang family to be so frivolous."
"That's what the young lady taught me."
"I am about to get off the carriage. Is it okay to let your maid serve as a ladder?"
Looking at the maid who had always been loyal to her, and then looking at Zhang Jieying who was looking down on her, Zhang Jin'er raised the corners of her mouth slightly, raised her head, and revealed a faint smile.
But there was a hint of cunning and pride in his eyes, and he said softly: "Miss, look, my maid has unfortunately contracted a serious disease recently, and her condition is very serious. If..."
She paused deliberately, and everyone looked at the maid who had no sense of existence, and their faces changed.
"what!"
"What's all the fuss about? It's unbecoming to make a fuss."
Zhang Jieying didn't care and just glanced at her casually... When her eyes fell on the maid, her face changed drastically and the handkerchief in her hand fell to the ground in shock.
The maid's face was so swollen that it was almost unrecognizable, which was horrifying.
Zhang Jieying was so frightened that she involuntarily retreated backwards and shrank into the carriage.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jieying let out a terrified scream, the sound was sharp and piercing.
"what!"
Her emotions got out of control instantly, and she kept cursing, "Get away! Stay away from me! You unclean things!"
Her tone was full of disgust and fear. Even though the doctor had mentioned that it was just a minor allergy, she was still frightened when she saw the maid.
"I'm sorry for disturbing the young lady."
"Zhang Jin'er, you better not do this on purpose. If I get some strange disease, my mother will be the first one who won't let you go."
"Yes."
"Also, my mother only protected you because you can please your cousin's mother-in-law. The Zhang family is not a place where outsiders have the final say."
"The eldest lady is right. I dare not overstep the mark."
"I don't think you dare. Take your ugly maid and get out of here."
When Zhang Jin'er entered the mansion from the side door, she heard a mocking voice from the side: "It's good enough for a concubine's daughter to go through the side door. If it were you, I would let those concubines go through a door the size of a dog hole."
The servant also echoed: "Hahaha, Miss is right. You are the legitimate daughter of the Zhang family! Your status is extremely noble, so you are naturally different from those lowly and lowly embryos!"
They smiled flatteringly, trying to please Zhang Jieying while belittling Zhang Jiner.
One of the servants even said, "In my opinion, this door should be torn down! With a person like her, even if you ask her to crawl through a dog hole, I'm afraid she would happily do it!"
After she finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter again, as if they were mocking the woman's humility and incompetence.
Zhang Jieying had a smug look on her face, enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention.
