Chapter 232 Killing someone with a borrowed knife
Chapter 232 Killing someone with a borrowed knife
The first wife was writing in the room. When she heard Aunt Lan rushing in to tell her that the Yu wife had an affair with a man, a trace of doubt arose in her heart.
She frowned slightly and said lightly in a slightly reproachful tone:
"Lan'er,
This Yu Fu Jin is now the apple of the prince's eye!
We can’t talk nonsense!”
However, Aunt Lan was like a lit firecracker, and she hurriedly defended herself:
"Fujin, how dare I talk nonsense!
I saw with my own eyes that she was chatting with a jade-wearing boy for quite a long time at that little door!
It was not until the concubine passed away that they reluctantly parted ways.
When the eldest wife heard this, she couldn't help but widen her eyes. She knew in her heart that the boy with the jade pendant was Jia Baoyu, the beloved and doted on mansion by Jia family!
She gathered herself together, pretended to be calm, raised her voice, and confirmed with Aunt Lan again:
"Lan'er, look carefully, is it really the boy with the jade pendant?"
Aunt Lan clenched her fists tightly, nodded eagerly and said:
"Madam, I saw it clearly, the two of them stood together and talked for a long time!
Not only that, at the end, Yu Fujin even took out a handkerchief from her sleeve pocket and stuffed it into the man's hand!
At this point, Aunt Lan stomped her feet in anger, as if she wanted to stomp a hole in the floor tiles under her feet.
She gritted her teeth and added bitterly:
"If I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
The eldest wife hurriedly pulled her up.
He looked around nervously, his eyes like a frightened bird, then lowered his voice and said earnestly:
"Sister, how could I not know your sincerity? We have been friends for so many years!"
The subject suddenly changed, and her cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes wandered, and she seemed to find it difficult to speak. After hesitating for a long time, she stammered out the truth:
"only……
Ugh,
You also know that she is pregnant now, and if I punish her now.
When the prince returns, he will definitely think that I, as the eldest wife, am a jealous person!
There's not even room for a pregnant woman! In this case, I..."
Before she could finish her words, the eldest wife couldn't help but sigh and look worried.
Aunt Lan, who was standing aside, had been silently observing the words and actions of the eldest lady.
Seeing that she was so hesitant at this moment, far from being as decisive and quick as usual, he knew what was going on.
Yes, after all, she is the legitimate first wife of a noble family!
If the punishment is too severe, it will inevitably lead to gossip and a bad reputation as intolerant.
Forget it, Aunt Lan thought to herself, since the first wife is in a dilemma, let me be the evil one!
Having made up her mind, she took light steps and slowly walked to the side of the eldest lady.
She bent down carefully, leaned close to the eldest wife's ear, and whispered softly:
"Since it's inconvenient for you, Fu Jin, to handle this matter, then let me handle it!"
After hearing this, the eldest wife immediately thanked him profusely. Her eyes gradually turned red and she said with emotion:
"Sister, you know that the prince only favors the Jade Concubine now, and I am only the eldest concubine in name only!"
At this point, the eldest wife was so moved that she shed tears. She took Aunt Lan's hand and said:
"Sister, I am the legitimate wife, so my words still carry weight!
Sister will definitely help you gain favor!"
When Aunt Lan saw the first wife in this state, she felt a little proud. She thought that even the legitimate wife was no more than this.
But on the surface, she nestled in the arms of the eldest wife and said with emotion:
"Fujin, you are my biological sister.
The younger sister does things for the older sister willingly!"
After Aunt Lan finished speaking, she said that her sister must be tired, so she stepped aside and let her sister have a good rest.
After Aunt Lan left, the eldest wife came to the desk and wrote a few big words with great joy:
Kill with a borrowed knife!
When writing the word "kill", the pen tip was pulled hard, as if seeing the scene of the snipe and the clam fighting each other.
When she thought of this, she just felt funny, and also felt that this was the only way to survive in such a huge palace!
……
"Yu'er, I'm back, Yu'er..."
Accompanied by affectionate and urgent shouts, Daiyu saw from afar the familiar figure riding a tall horse galloping towards her.
The prince was wearing a red cloak, and underneath the cloak was a set of thick and solid armor that was shining with a cold light.
He wore a long arrow on his chest, looking heroic and eye-catching.
Behind him followed a neat and orderly team with fluttering flags and a majestic momentum.
"Yu'er, I'm here, Yu'er..."
The prince galloped on his horse, calling Daiyu's name loudly and waving the whip in his hand, his joy was beyond words.
At the same time, people in the team following closely behind also raised their flags high and shouted in unison:
"Legitimate wife, legitimate wife..."
The shouts were deafening, as if they were going to drown out the entire world.
However, Daiyu was a little dazed at this time.
She stared blankly at the prince and the team behind him who were getting closer and closer. She felt both surprised and nervous, and was at a loss for a moment.
Just as Daiyu was stunned, the prince suddenly dismounted from his horse and walked quickly to her.
Before Daiyu could react, the prince, with a smile on his face, picked her up by the waist and gently placed her on the horse in front of him.
He hugged Daiyu tightly, then turned to the brothers behind him and said loudly:
"From now on, Yufu Jin is my legitimate wife!"
The prince's words were powerful, full of majesty and dominance.
But just as everyone was cheering, a mournful voice rang out—
"She is the legitimate wife, so what am I?
I've endured so many years in this palace, am I going to be replaced so easily?"
As the words fell, the eldest lady appeared before everyone like a ghost.
She had a gloomy face, resentful eyes, a sneer on her lips, and questioned the prince coldly.
The prince looked at her and called out softly, "Bijun..."
Before the prince could finish speaking, she jumped on her horse, raised her jade hand, and stabbed the long knife on the prince's chest at his neck like lightning.
The prince didn't even have time to react. He only heard a dull sound and the sharp tip of the knife had already sunk into his throat.
The prince opened his eyes wide, his face full of astonishment and disbelief, his body swayed, and he fell straight off the tall and mighty horse.
The blood instantly dyed the entire land red.
Daiyu, who was watching this scene, felt her heart broken and tears welled up in her eyes. She cried out heartbreakingly:
"My Lord, my Lord, you can't abandon me, please don't leave me!"
Daiyu rushed to the place where the prince fell, crying and waving her hands frantically, trying to grab something to prevent the tragedy from happening.
However, it was all in vain.
The prince fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Daiyu fell beside the prince, shaking his lifeless body desperately and calling his name over and over again.
At this moment, Daiyu suddenly felt that the scene in front of her eyes began to blur, and everything around her seemed to be spinning.
When Daiyu opened her eyes again, she found herself in her own boudoir.
It turned out that everything I had just experienced was just a nightmare.
But even so, she felt her heartbeat quicken and her breathing became rapid.
The scenes in the dream were vivid in her mind, especially the scene where the eldest wife stabbed the prince with a long knife, which made her feel scared.
Daiyu slowly sat up and gently wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with trembling hands.
Recalling that terrible dream, she thought: Today's dream was so scary!
Could it be that the prince has really returned?
But when she thought of the first wife cruelly killing the prince in her dream, she couldn't help but shiver and felt a chill on her back.
Daiyu took a few deep breaths, trying to calm her inner fear and anxiety.
She clutched the front of her clothes tightly and comforted herself softly:
"It'll be fine. Dreams are the opposite of reality. Maybe the prince won the battle and is on his way back..."
