Chapter 15

Pour tea for me

Lin Ximeng swore that this was the bloodiest day in her life.

The poison in his body caused him to vomit black blood from time to time. Zhou was beaten with bruises all over his body until he died.

There was blood all over the study room in the front yard, and even the seams between the bluestones were dyed blood red.

That night, she was woken up by nightmares several times, and the lights in Bibo Garden were on all night.

Also lit at the same time was Zhao Liangdi’s Jinlan Garden.

At midnight, Zhao Liangdi was still patting her chest.

"What's happened to me lately? He's shouting and killing at every turn. Mrs. Zhou just wants to be favored. No matter what she does, she won't die."

Aunt Zhao brought over a bowl of soothing soup and advised.

"It's a crime that doesn't deserve death, but master, don't forget, poinsettia is also highly poisonous."

Zhao Liangdi's face turned purple, and she clawed at the handkerchief with her sharp nails: "Who knew she was so cruel that she even brought poinsettias?"

It was true that she wanted to get rid of Lin Ximeng, but the poinsettia was too poisonous, and she couldn't blame the master for being so angry.

"That's all, I won't mention it anymore after this matter has passed."

She drank the soothing soup in one gulp. This was already the third bowl of soothing soup she drank tonight.

Aunt Zhao sighed: "In my opinion, Mrs. Lin is just a concubine. Master should be more open-minded. No matter how favored she is, she is just the daughter of a criminal."

A woman's youth lasts for a few years, and her love is all in vain. Only when she gives birth to a child safely can she truly have someone to rely on in the future.

Zhao Liangdi looked extremely uncomfortable and tapped her nails painted on the table.

"I know, grandma should go and have a rest at this late hour."

Aunt Zhao hesitated to speak, but finally shut up and retreated.

Zhao Liangdi lived in trepidation for the next two days. When she saw that the master of the front yard made no movement, she gradually relaxed.

However, things are not always as expected.

Early on the third day.

Zhao Hai knocked on the door of Jinlan Garden and greeted Zhao Liangdi with a smile.

Zhao Liangdi's heart pounded, she smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries, and finally asked tentatively: "It's rare for my father-in-law to come here, but what's the matter?"

Zhao Hai flicked the fly whisk, and the smile on his face became brighter.

"Master Liangdi Mingjian, there is indeed something I want to tell you."

"Miss Zhou's body is still on display in the darkroom. Master ordered me to send a message to you, asking you to find time to deal with it."

Zhao Liangdi went through the words carefully twice and then smiled with relief.

"What else should I take for granted? It turns out to be the Zhou family. Eunuch Zhao Hai sent someone to tell us. Why do you need to go there in person?"

It's just a dead body. Just find a few young eunuchs to carry it away.

Zhao Liangdi's tense heart gradually relaxed.

"Master Liangdi, I'm afraid you didn't understand what I meant." Zhao Hai continued to smile.

"My master said, let you handle it."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Liangdi couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Zhao Hai said simply: "I want you to personally see Zhou off. There is no one to help, whether it's a slave or a maid."

Zhao Liangdi: "..."

"I would like to remind you that it is not September yet and the weather is hot, so you should hurry up."

Zhao Hai left quickly, and Zhao Liangdi collapsed on the seat and couldn't get up for a long time.

My brain was buzzing and I couldn't turn around for a long time.

The weather is hot. If it's too late, the body will...

"vomit……"

"I knew that my master would never let me go. He is never so kind."

If a weak woman is asked to move a corpse, probably only the master can think of such a trick.

But she is his sweetheart.

Just for Lin Ximeng, who is she?

Zhao Liangdi dared not not go no matter how reluctant she was.

On that day, Aunt Zhao prepared a jar of strong liquor, a huge thick sack, and a pair of coarse linen gloves that were only used by old farmers outside.

"The strong liquor is waiting for you to bathe when you come back. Thick sacks are used to store it. You can wear gloves when moving."

Aunt Zhao looked at Zhao Liangdi and hesitated to speak.

"Is there anything else you can't say?" Zhao Liangdi scratched her hair in annoyance, and she had countless goosebumps all over her body.

"How about I prepare some incense, candles and paper for you?"

Miss Zhou's death was her own fault, but her master was by no means innocent.

It is said that the ghosts of those who died unjustly will seek out their creditors to demand their lives, but just in case...

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Zhao Liangdi screamed.

After a moment, he suddenly stopped talking, obviously thinking about this.

She rubbed her arms and hesitated for a while, then took off the ruby ​​hairpin on her head.

"That's all, go get ready."

Just in case, she didn't want that Mr. Zhou to bother her in the future.

"Prepare some good clothes and hair. Since the master asked me to give it to her, Ben Liangdi will give it to her properly."

——

That afternoon, Zhao Liangdi changed into a royal blue dress and a plain silver headdress and went to the darkroom.

Although Rao had made sufficient mental preparations, he was still so frightened by the scene in front of him that he collapsed on the ground.

In a dark darkroom.

Zhou was lying on the ground. Without looking carefully, she would have thought it was a pile of dirty clothes. The strong smell of blood rushed towards her, and flies and mice were swirling around the body.

Even the cracks in the bricks on the ground were thickly covered with black blood.

No matter what, Zhao Liangdi could not connect the bloody corpse in front of her with the girl Zhou who surrounded her and said, "The matter has been settled."

After all, it is a fresh and beautiful life.

Half an hour later, Zhao Liangdi gradually came to her senses, took the clothes she had brought and packed them away. She endured the strong smell of blood and changed clothes for Miss Zhou and put on her jewelry.

"Sister, please don't blame me, this is all the master, oh, and that bitch Lin"

"If it weren't for Mrs. Lin, sister, you would never have fallen to this point at such a young age."

"If you have any resentment or unwillingness, go and find Mrs. Lin. Sister, I am innocent."

"Sister, I promise you that as long as I am here, I will never let Mrs. Lin go. We will deal with her together."

After getting dressed, Zhao Liangdi wrapped the bag in a sack and moved it out little by little.

The carriage is ready at the corner gate.

Zhao Liangdi dragged Zhou out and used all her strength to get onto the cart.

The coachman raised his whip with a cold face, and the carriage rolled slowly.

From the prosperous capital city to the desolate outside the city, from the bluestone road to the muddy path.

From the row upon row of exquisite buildings to the sad and yellow mass graves.

An hour later, Zhao Liangdi dragged Mr. Zhou out of the carriage, dug a hole with a shovel for burial, and then took out the incense candles that Aunt Zhao had prepared and tied them with paper.

She squatted in front of a simple mound and lit a brazier, burning paper and chanting.

"Sister Zhou, as a sister, I can be regarded as the most benevolent person. If you are seeking revenge, please don't come to me."

After the paper money was burned, Zhao Liangdi stood up slowly, took one last look at the small mound of withered soil, and turned around to leave.

Return to the Prince's Mansion.

Zhao Liangdi immediately took off her clothes and burned them, and bathed three times until her skin all over her body turned red before she finally stopped.

Before going to bed that night, Zhao Liangdi ordered Aunt Zhao.

"In two days, go to Famen Temple and Xiangshan Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to ask for some talismans to ward off ghosts and ward off evil spirits."

"Master doesn't need to give orders, the old slave will remember them."

Front yard study.

Zhao Hai reported Zhao Liangdi's every move, and Xie Chenyu dropped the Wenwan walnuts that he had been playing with for a long time.

"Pour me tea"
