Chapter 307 The Truth
In the night wind, the voice of the maid Xin Mei was like a murmur in a dream. She had fallen into her own memories. She didn't even need to ask, she had continued talking on her own.
"Although I come from a poor family, I am unwilling to accept it. Who wants to live a hard life all his life, who doesn't want to have good food and clothing, no need to worry about livelihood, and live a life of a master? Others accept their fate, but I don't. I am here
The Zhang family has served the Ding family for several years, but in the end I got nothing. I just want to use my own body to gain status in the Zhang family. It’s fine if Mr. Zhang doesn’t want to. Why do you have to tell the Ding family that I serve?
After this incident, they said that I was not a law-abiding maid and that I behaved inappropriately? Mrs. Ding even came to talk to me specifically and severely reprimanded me, asking me to abide by my duties and not to have any whims or have unreasonable thoughts. Hum.
, I want to live a good life, and I don’t want to be a maid all my life. Is this an unreasonable wish? Do I deserve to live a hard life? I am not convinced, why? Why? "
Fang Zian remained silent, feeling quite emotional. This question is indeed difficult to answer. In such an era, class solidification is serious, the upward path is blocked, and everyone is marked with the label of third, sixth, or ninth grade, and they may not be able to get rid of it even in their lifetime.
.A maid from a poor background seems to have no good way to change her destiny. What this maid Xin Mei wants to take is a shortcut. She wants to exchange her body for status, but in fact, even if she gets it, it will not be easy.
She is just a concubine, is that her real status? From a certain point of view, Fang Zian also sympathizes with Xin Mei. At least she does not succumb to her fate, but the methods she uses are a bit substandard.
From her perspective, I'm afraid it's a natural choice.
"...It was at this time that I met Magistrate He. Magistrate He occasionally came to Zhang's house to talk to Mr. Zhang, and also visited Mr. Ding several times. After going back and forth, we became familiar with each other. That day, he came again
The second master was not at home, so he came to see Mr. Ding. Mr. Ding was doing lunch and it was difficult to see anyone, so I invited him to drink tea in the wing. He... suddenly stood up and hugged me, telling me that he liked me.
, said that he had been coming to Zhang’s house just for me and wanted to see me more often. I was scared to death. After what happened before, how could I dare to think anything wrong? When he said this, I felt very scared.
. But what he said was sincere. He said he fell in love with me the first time he saw me. He said... he wanted to marry me as his concubine. He also said that his wife was frail and sick, and the doctor said she would not live long.
In 2008, he said that as long as I agreed to marry him, after his wife passed away, he would make me his wife and make me his wife of the county magistrate. He said so many things that I was so scared that I didn’t know what to do.
good……"
Fang Zian frowned and said nothing. This He Jin's behavior looked horribly false to onlookers. Xin Mei did have some beauty, but she was not the kind who could be as beautiful as a fairy and make people unable to control her. As a county
It is impossible for the county magistrate, He Jin, to have such a low status and knowledge. To be obsessed with a maidservant of the Zhang family? Isn't this a joke? Obviously, He Jin is probably a drunkard who is not interested in drinking.
"It's fake, I lied to you." Shen Ling'er leaned beside Fang Zian and uttered softly.
Xin Mei glanced at Shen Ling'er and said softly: "It would be great if I had your knowledge. Unfortunately, I lost my mind at that time. He knelt down to beg me and said many sweet words, and I was tempted. He was
Lord County Magistrate, if I follow him, I will have someone to rely on for the rest of my life. And I will no longer have to worry about living a hard life... So... in the wing, I and he... and him... and him
...In short, I complied with his wishes. After that, I went to the house in Shidun Hutong every few days to have trysts with him. I gradually became addicted to it, and even believed that he really liked me.
.”
Fang Zian, Chen Ling'er didn't say anything, Zhao Xi licked his lips and stared at Xin Mei's bulging chest, thinking: Lord He is usually sanctimonious, but he does these things secretly. Damn it, this maid Xin Mei's breasts are so big, It must be very comfortable to play.
"...I asked him several times when he was going to marry me. He said wait a minute, saying that the time has not come yet. He said that his term of office was about to expire and he was at the critical moment of promotion. He could not be gossiped about at this time. He also said that the second master was not on good terms with him. In Wuhu County, the second master had a higher reputation than himself and was good at buying people's hearts, so his official reputation was better than his. He also said that the second master relied on his son to pass the exam. He was very domineering. He didn't take him seriously and didn't discuss things with him as the chief official. He was very passive. He said that if I could help him, it would be much easier for him." Xin Mei said in a low voice. The way.
Fang Zian felt relieved, as he seemed to understand He Jin's intention to seduce the maid Xin Mei.
"...I asked him how I could help him. He said that he wanted me to pay attention to the words and deeds of the second master, write them down and tell him. He also asked me to peek at the letters between the second master and Brother Xiang, and eavesdrop on the exchanges. During the conversation between guests and friends, I showed him the poems and articles written by the second master. I asked him what he wanted to do, and he said that he had to overwhelm the second master and ask him not to do bad things when he was promoted at the end of his term. He must get the second The master’s excuse. He said that he did not want to harm the second master, but that he must make the second master obey. I was a little reluctant, but I couldn’t bear to refuse him. I was already obsessed with him, so I agreed to him without thinking too much. " Xin Mei continued.
"You are really a bitch who eats inside and outside." Shen Ling'er finally cursed.
"Hmph. Whatever you say, I did this for myself. Besides, isn't this the same way the Zhang family treats me? Don't they just treat me as a despicable maid? Why should I be devoted to them? That thing After what happened, I definitely won't be able to stay in the Zhang family for long. I'm thinking about my future, isn't it right?" Xin Mei said coldly.
Shen Ling'er was still waiting to refute, but Fang Zian stopped her and asked in a deep voice: "Miss Xinmei, if you continue, what happened next? What happened to Ding's death?"
Xin Mei glanced at Fang Zian, sighed, and said softly: "I know what I did is wrong, but I have fallen into it and can't extricate myself. I followed his words and wrote down the words and deeds of the second master. I wrote poems and letters to report to him. I also often went to have trysts with him. There is no airtight wall in the world. This matter was finally discovered by Mrs. Ding. She discovered the bracelet and scented powder given to me by County Magistrate He. More than ten days ago , she secretly followed me and found out about my tryst with him. She questioned me about this matter, and I begged her not to tell it. She said that unless I confessed myself, she would not pursue it, otherwise, she would make it public. She She said that the Zhang family would never allow such immoral behavior, and she wanted to report the matter to the second master and the others. I begged her not to say it for the time being, after all, it was related to the county magistrate, and I was afraid there would be trouble if she did. She said, She could give me two days of grace, but I had to confess to her. I didn’t know what to do, so I went to He Jin to discuss countermeasures. He Jin didn’t answer me at the time and asked me to go to him the next day. The next day I He told me that there was a big thing he wanted me to do, which would not only help him get out of the current crisis, but also help him become the prefect. He wanted me to... kill Ding and put the blame on the second master..."
Fang Zian shouted in shock: "Could it be...could it be that you killed Ding?"
Xin Mei did not answer, but said hurriedly: "He asked me to stab Ding to death with an iron awl and fake the wound and the scene. He said that he would arrange everything else, as long as I followed his instructions. In my heart
Extremely scared, he told me that this was the only way,
He and I can get rid of the Zhang family. Otherwise, the second master will pinch his handle. Not only will he have no hope of promotion, but he will not even be able to become a county magistrate. He said that as long as I do it, I will soon be the wife of the prefect. He
He swore a poisonous oath that if he succeeded, he would marry me as his wife and divorce his wife who was about to die of illness. I was desperate, so I made up my mind to agree to him... That night, Mr. Ding pressed me about this matter, and I
So...I then...stabbed her to death with an iron awl...Yes, I killed her, so what? Who told her to force me? Who told her to make me cornered? I could only kill her.
She looked so pitiful when she was dying. In fact, she had always been a pitiful person. She had been guarding a dead person for so many years, often crying at night, but she still looked like a chaste and martyr woman in front of others. It was really ridiculous. I killed her.
, she is also freed. All of us... are freed."
Xin Mei's words were hurried, as if she couldn't breathe. Her whole body was stiff and her fingers were twitching. Under the dim light, her face was distorted, like an evil ghost.
Zhao Xi was so frightened that he crawled a few steps aside, not daring to get too close to her. Fang Zian and Shen Ling'er were also shocked and speechless.
"I see, you really killed Ding. Let me tell you, the murderer went into Ding's room to commit the murder and also cleaned up the scene. How could no one in the Zhang family notice it? At least you, as her personal maid, should have found out.
You didn't know anything about Ding's death the night before. Later, you perjured yourself to prove that Mr. Zhang had been to Ding's room the night before and said there was a quarrel. During the autopsy, the county government
You were only allowed to follow, but you never came back afterwards. All this was confusing at first, but now it suddenly becomes clear. Miss Xinmei, you don’t even know the real reason why He Jin asked you to kill someone. You
Do you really think he wants to marry you as the prefect's wife?" Fang Zian broke the silence and said in a deep voice.
"I know now, but it's too late. I was deceived by He Jin. That heartless man was lying to me from the beginning to the end. After Ding's death, I was put under house arrest by him in the house in Shidun Hutong.
He only came once a day. I asked him when he would marry me, and he just sneered. He said, I just stay in that room and don’t have any other thoughts. He said, if I don’t obey, I will die.
.I am just a pawn in his hand. He never wanted to marry me from the beginning to the end, he just used me." Xin Mei said softly.
Fang Zian said: "It's too late for you to understand. Not only does he not want to marry you, he will definitely kill you. But he kept you to protect himself. He participated in a conspiracy against the Zhang family.
, not only Zhang Qi, but also Zhang Xiaoxiang. Someone in the court wanted the death of the new champion, and he was an accomplice. Not only did he bribe you, he also forced Zhao Xi, a widow, to use him as a fake autopsy certificate. All of this is
As evidence, it is a way to frame the Zhang family and implicate Zhang Zhuangyuan. You are indeed just a pawn, a miserable pawn. He has made two preparations. If this thing cannot succeed, you are the real culprit, and he can kill you for justice.
If he succeeds, he will become famous, but you will die as well. Do you understand?"
"I understand, haha, of course I understand. I heard it on the roof not long ago. I will not let this thief go. So I am willing to explain these things. Even if I die, I will drag him with me. Hehe, I
Xin Mei has a humble life, and he will suffer hardships in life anyway, but we can't let him get what he wants."
Xin Mei's words were so vicious and cold that those who listened felt chilled in their hearts.
