Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Since the sixth concubine was dead, would she still be alive if she offended
First Young Master?
“Tell me, what happened? Why would she want to die?” Old Master Liu stomped his walking stick and said angrily.
The servant girl trembled in fear.
“It’s…” When the servant girl raised her head and looked at Old Master Liu, she once again received a warning gaze from Liu Bowen’s servant.
“It happened after she returned to her family’s house…” The servant girl hurriedly lowered her head and said loudly.
“Yesterday, the sixth concubine came back and cried for a long time in her room.”
“She said that her mother didn’t care about her at all and only reached out her
hand to ask for money. Moreover…she even asked for 50 taels.”
“She also said that she was going to give the money to her brother for his studies.”
“Moreover, it’s not just 50. The sixth concubine’s mother has asked her to send money to her family regularly in the future to support them.”
The servant girl had heard Lin Lanhua talk about the Lin family in the past, so her lies sounded convincing.
“Wuuu…after the sixth concubine confided in me, she said that she did not want to let down her family nor the Old Master. It would be better to…die.” “Wuuu…I didn’t expect that she would really…” As she spoke, the servant girl wiped her tears.
Hearing this, Old Master Liu frowned.
He had not specially gone to inquire about the sixth concubine’s family, but he knew some things.
Back then, he had asked the housekeeper to bring back her contract to avoid any subsequent trouble.
It had been so long, and he hadn’t heard her mention her family before, so he didn’t take it seriously.
This time, she brought it up and his heart softened, so he let her go back.
He did not expect such a thing to happen.
If he had known earlier, he would not have let her go back.
At the same time, Old Master Liu’s eyes were filled with anger.
When the Lin family had sold her to him, it meant that she no longer had anything to do with the Lin family.
How could they be so thick-skinned to ask his woman for money?
And he even dared to force her to death!
“Master, should we go to the court?” At this moment, the housekeeper came forward and asked Old Master Liu.
Liu Bowen’s heart tightened, and his face turned pale.
Old Master Liu just waved his hand tiredly.
“Forget it. Prepare a coffin and bury her.” He said.
Then, without even looking at Lin Lanhua, he turned around and left.
If she was alive, she would be his lucky star. She’s worthless now.
Liu Bowen heaved a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw the housekeeper looking at him.
His heart tightened again.
He quickly suppressed the fear in his heart and avoided the butler’s gaze.
Then, Liu Bowen left with the servant.
He returned to his courtyard.
Liu Bowen closed the door after he entered the room.
“You were too nervous just now.”
“Yes, the housekeeper seemed to have noticed something strange about me just now!” Liu Bowen said nervously.
He looked at the servant boy with a pleading gaze.
The servant glanced at Liu Bowen.
“Don’t worry, Housekeeper Chen is a smart person. Without solid evidence, he won’t make things difficult for you for a dead person.”
When Liu Bowen heard this, he was indeed relieved.
After a while, a smile appeared on his face.
“The matter has been resolved. What should we do next?” He asked the servant.
The servant’s expression was calm.
“1 have already arranged for people to stand guard outside the residence. Then, they will follow the coffin and find the place where she will be buried.”
“Tomorrow morning, 1 will accompany you to the pier and explain the situation to Master Hei and Master Li. Presumably, the two of them won’t hold it against us.”
“Moreover, if we’re lucky, you might be able to take this opportunity to befriend the two of them.”
“This will only benefit you in the future.” The servant boy explained.
When Liu Bowen heard that the servant boy wanted him to see Li Xiao and Hei
Gang, he was originally very afraid.
However, when he heard that he might be able to befriend the two of them if
he went to see them, he had an idea.
“Alright, then tomorrow, come with me!”
Meanwhile, Lin Xiaoyue had just arrived at the Liu residence when she received the news.
When she found out that Lin Lanhua had been killed by her adulterer, she was shocked..
