Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
Concubine Mei remembered Yu Linglong’s instructions, and said hurriedly: “Master, look at this, should you report to the city magistrate?”
When he heard that she wanted to report to an official, General Yu hesitated . Concubine Mei said in accordance with Yu Linglong’s words: “Master, after all, this is a matter of life and death . What’s more, the Feng Mansion is involved . If they messed with our house like this, I’m afraid…”
Concubine Mei wanted to say something and stopped, but General Yu immediately understood what Concubine Mei meant . Yu Qianliu died at the gate of the Feng mansion . He was a subordinate of Minister Feng . If he did not report to an official, he was weak . How could he fight a higher-status house?
Seeing that General Yu was frowning and hesitating, Concubine Mei remembered that Yu Linglong had said that she must make this matter a big deal, so she added fuel to the fire: “Master, it’s getting late now . If you delay it any longer, I’m afraid the Feng family already has some countermeasures . Besides, the Third Lady’s body is still at the door!”
Just now Concubine Mei said that Yu Qianliu was only wrapped in a sheet, and she died on the street . At this moment, there were people coming and going . How many people have seen it? If he didn’t make a decision, he would lose face .
General Yu stomped his foot and said angrily: “Report to the officials!”
Concubine Mei felt relieved, but with a sad expression on her face, she lowered her head and followed General Yu out .
…
A group of people had gathered at the gate of Feng’s mansion, pointing at the closed gate .
A thin white cloth covered the corpse at the door, and the cold wind blew and lifted a corner of the white cloth, revealing a bruised and swollen corpse from time to time, providing people with more speculation .
Not long after, a horse-drawn carriage galloped in . Before it stopped, General Yu jumped out of the carriage . Concubine Mei followed him and got out of the carriage in a hurry .
There was a small commotion in the crowd watching the excitement . It looked like the victim’s family had arrived .
General Yu saw the corpse on the ground at a glance . He was about to check it, but was held by Concubine Mei, “Master, I’ll go . ”
Only then did General Yu realize his gaffe . No matter whether the corpse on the ground was Yu Qianliu or not, it was a female corpse after all . Even if it was his own daughter, it was bad for him to examine it himself .
Looking at Concubine Mei who was timid but pretending to be calm, General Yu couldn’t help but feel grateful, but he was afraid to see the corpse for himself . As expected, Concubine Mei was really good to him .
How did General Yu know that Concubine Mei’s actions and deeds were completely inspired by Yu Linglong, and he didn’t even know that in today’s drama, he only played the part of a weapon .
Concubine Mei calmed down, leaned on her maid, and walked slowly to the white cloth . With trembling hands, she lifted the corner of the white cloth, and her expression changed greatly after she glanced at it .
The white cloth in her hand fell down, and Concubine Mei suddenly fell to the ground and cried: “Third Lady, you have died so miserably!”
This abrupt wailing sounded, and even General Yu, who was cold-hearted, couldn’t help but feel sorrow and strode forward .
Concubine Mei was supporting the little maid, and she seemed extremely sad . She looked at General Yu with tears and cried: “Master, it’s the Third Lady…it’s really the Third Lady…”
The tragic situation of his own daughter freezing to death on the street was right in front of him . General Yu only felt the blood rushing to his head, and did not think about why Concubine Mei was crying worse than him about his own daughter . He stepped forward and slammed the door: “Open the door! You f.u.c.king open the door for me!”
General Yu’s aura at the moment was still in line with his ident.i.ty, majestic and arrogant .
Behind him, Concubine Mei covered her face with a kerchief, crying and crying: “Third Lady, you died so miserably! You were only fifteen years old, how could you die like this…”
The Feng Mansion made such a big noise and successfully attracted a large number of idlers watching the excitement .
Those who came late didn’t know what was going on, so those who went there first explained it happily . After a while, everyone knew that a daughter of a n.o.ble house froze to death at the door of Feng’s house . The family was knocking at the door .
The matter was over . The door of Feng Mansion had to be opened .
A man who looked like a butler came out, pretended to look around, and said, “What’s the matter?”
As soon as he stuck his head out, General Yu grabbed his collar and shouted: “Where is your master, tell your master to come out and speak to me!”
The butler did not recognize General Yu, and said while struggling, “Ah, what are you—”
Before he finished speaking, he received a heavy punch on the bridge of the nose .
Although General Yu couldn’t beat Yu Linglong, his fists were meaty . The butler’s eyes were crooked and he cried repeatedly .
General Yu roared: “Stupid dog! How dare you ask me? My daughter died at your door, so quickly call your master out!”
The butler was also shocked when he saw the female corpse at the door . Although the gatekeeper said that someone had frozen to death at the door in the morning, he did not take it to heart . It was not uncommon for a person to freeze to death in this cold winter . The corpse was sent to the morgue .
But how did he know that it was a young lady who froze to death!
Even the gatekeeper didn’t believe that the person who called at the gate last night was really the Third Lady of the Yu Family . Yes, who could believe that an official lady would come to their Feng Mansion alone in the middle of the night?
Seeing General Yu knock on the door, the butler panicked . Seeing that the ground outside was full of people who stretched their necks and looked in, the butler’s voice couldn’t help but become quieter, and he pulled General Yu into the door .
“This… this, sir, you come in first, let’s talk this out slowly—”
With a snap, General Jade’s big palm slapped his forehead, making him see stars .
“Bulls.h.i.t! Call out Minister Feng quickly . If he won’t give me an explanation, I won’t go anywhere!”
This time, General Yu finally got b.l.o.o.d.y .
It didn’t matter whether he said he was heartbroken for losing his daughter, or that he took the opportunity to avenge him, but General Yu was determined anyway, and he must take this opportunity to make Minister Feng suffer!
The butler knew that this matter was not easy to handle, and ran in desperately to report to the master .
Soon, the master of the Feng Mansion came out .
Minister Feng was not there, and Lady Feng was a female dependent and couldn’t show her face, so Feng Sihuai had to deal with it by himself .
Seeing a pair of hooded eyes, Feng Sihuai walked out . General Yu was really angry when he met his enemy . He stepped forward and grabbed his collar, and shouted: “What the h.e.l.l is going on!?”
Seeing the cloth-covered female corpse on the ground, Feng Sihuai couldn’t help but pause .
Was it really Yu Qianliu who came last night?[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse . com]
How could Feng Sihuai think that Yu Qianliu would die at his door? Yesterday the gatekeeper reported that his first reaction was that Yu Linglong sent someone to test him . Who would believe that a lady in the middle of the night would run in the heavy snow and knock on his door, so he naturally refused .
Who knew that Yu Qianliu was so relentless that she died at his doorstep .
This was a lot of trouble .
In front of him were the furious General Yu and Concubine Mei who was crying miserably . Feng Sihuai struggled for a while .
He was not fake, but he usually came into contact with women of ordinary origin, or the Kabuki girls, and he had never played with the official ladies like Yu Qianliu . First, he thought that these ladies were too frivolous, and secondly, he was afraid of trouble . If he played too much, he may marry a wife .
This time, if it wasn’t for revenge on Yu Linglong, he would not deliberately touch Yu Qianliu . Based on his experience with women, Yu Qianliu, who was inexperienced in the world, quickly took the bait . He originally thought that as long as Yu Linglong was solved, then Yu Qianliu’s entanglement would be rid of, but who could have thought that Yu Qianliu died at his own door .
The night before yesterday, Yu Qianliu came to him with joy, saying that Yu Linglong had promised to go with her to the front gate and let him set ambush along the way . He was naturally overjoyed . Who knew that he had waited for a day at the scheduled place yesterday, but he didn’t see the Yu family at all . When the carriage pa.s.sed by, he knew that his plan had been revealed, so he hurried home and pretended that nothing happened . He went to the night porter to report and said that the Third Lady of the Yu family had come to him . He was shocked and immediately refused .
He had originally thought it was simple, and even if the matter was revealed, Yu Qianliu would take the blame . It was a matter between the Yu family sisters, what was the big deal? Who knew that it would cause death?
It was unfair, he hadn’t even seen Yu Qianliu yesterday . Why did this woman die at his door?
General Yu was still squeezing him tightly, swearing incessantly . He was a martial artist, and he was originally vulgar . When he saw his daughter die, naturally there would be no good words in his mouth . The cursing made Feng Sihuai feel dizzy, but there was no way to refuse him .
It was estimated that General Yu would have beaten him if he hadn’t taken into account his status .
With such a lively quarrel at the entrance of Feng’s mansion, the crowd outside was naturally feasting for their eyes . Seeing that more and more people had gathered, Feng Sihuai had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: “Master Yu, how did your precious daughter die? I really don’t know . Otherwise, you come in for a cup of tea . Let’s discuss this matter slowly . ”
Feng Sihuai deserved to be a veteran who had played countless women . He hadn’t seen such a public scene, but those women before were not as valuable as Yu Qianliu .
In his experience, these women had either lost their virginity, or their reputations had been ruined, or they were seeking death . In fact, the ultimate goal was money . The other party he had to deal with was General Yu . The last time he molested Yu Linglong, didn’t General Yu not dare speak? This time, because of the death of a person, he dared to run to his door to display violence .
As long as the other party could make a request, this matter was nothing .
Feng Sihuai’s idea was correct, but he had forgotten that he was facing General Yu, who had just been downgraded three ranks by his father .
This was not something that money can solve .
Sure enough, when he heard that Feng Sihuai play dumb, General Yu stretched out his hand and lifted Feng Sihuai up, and his cow-like eyes widened: “What are you talking about? You think I can still drink tea? You want to talk bulls.h.i.t with me? Ask your father to come out and talk!”
Your father bullied someone, and you bullied someone else’s daughters . Are all of you in the Yu Mansion soft persimmons?
Feng Sihuai was speechless . General Yu was at his home now, but Minister Feng was at court? Was it necessary to drag his father back from the yamen for this matter? It was strange that his father didn’t kill him!
Seeing that this was such a big issue, General Yu was reluctant to give up, Feng Sihuai really had nothing to do, and simply played a rogue: “Master Yu, your daughter died on the street, not in our house . Why do you think this has something to do with me? What evidence do you have?”
That’s right, Yu Qianliu just died at his door . People came and went on this street . Who knows how Yu Qianliu died? Who saw Yu Qianliu get killed by Feng Sihuai?
When Concubine Mei heard this, her crying voice immediately rose a few more tones: “My Third Lady, why are you so unsatisfied with people like this? It’s all done…”
While talking, Concubine Mei deliberately or unconsciously tore off a corner of the white cloth, revealing Yu Qianliu’s horrible body .
This scene obviously stimulated General Yu, and he was furious, regardless of what Feng Sihuai’s status was . With his big hand, he grabbed Feng Sihuai’s neck: “What the h.e.l.l did you say? If it had something to do with you, how could she die here? Do you still want to deny it?”
Yu Qianliu was not a casual person, let alone someone to freeze to death at the gate of Feng’s mansion in the middle of the night for no reason . Who believed it had nothing to do with Feng Sihuai?
Feng Sihuai uttered his words and refused to admit it . While pushing General Yu’s hand, he said plausibly: “What does her death have to do with me? Master Yu, don’t slander me!”
Okay, what reputation do you have if you kill people!?
General Yu was not in a good mood . After hearing these words, how could he be willing to give up? With the other hand, he also stepped forward to pinch Feng Sihuai, his eyes violently opened, and he roared: “You stinky boy, how dare you deny it! I’ll strangle you and pay my daughter with your life! “
Although Feng Sihuai’s body was the color of wine, he was also the son of the Official of the Ministry of War, and immediately begged General Yu not to be outdone .
Seeing that the commotion was so violent, there was a mess of footsteps outside the crowd, and a majestic voice shouted, “Stop it!”
Concubine Mei, who was crying so much that her voice became hoa.r.s.e, felt relieved, and her voice couldn’t help lowering her tone a few times .
The Magistrate finally came .
The person in the Magistrate’s position was Master Liang . When he heard that there was commotion at the house of an official from the Ministry of War, he did not dare to neglect it and immediately brought people to investigate the case .
Seeing that the two parties in front of him were about to beat each other, Master Liang immediately stopped shouting, and then ordered the people around him to disperse the crowd and isolate the scene .
Seeing Master Liang coming, General Yu also let go of his hands, and strode forward, clenching his fists in anger, “Master Liang . ”
Master Liang nodded as a greeting . On the other side, Feng Sihuai also stepped forward immediately, trying his best to make a smile: “h.e.l.lo, Master Liang . ”
Master Liang didn’t have such a good att.i.tude when he saw him . He had been in the position of Magistrate for so long and had dealt with several cases that Feng Sihuai caused by playing with a woman . If he hadn’t had a good father, he would be locked up by Master Liang already .
Glancing at the female corpse on the ground, Master Liang ordered his men to check the scene and asked the coroner to bring it for an autopsy .
The coroner opened the white cloth, inspected it for a while, and then reported: “My lord, the deceased was a woman, about fifteen or sixteen years old . She was not wearing any clothes . She had wounds on her body, but none of them was fatal . She seems to have frozen to death . For specific details, she would have to be carried back for detailed inspection . ”
Although the coroner didn’t say it clearly, Master Liang had vaguely guessed that if a young female corpse fell dead at the gate of Feng’s mansion, did this cause of death still need to be examined?
General Yu on the side showed grief and indignation: “It is my little girl who died . ”
Master Liang glanced at Feng Sihuai coldly . This kid was getting bolder and bolder, even daring to play with an official lady .
Being in full view, Master Liang waved his hand and said: “Bring them all back to the yamen . The officer will interrogate himself!”
Ignoring Feng Sihuai’s loud cry for injustice, Master Liang ordered the people to carry Yu Qianliu’s body, arrest Feng Sihuai, and he leads the crowd away mightily .
The crowd watching the excitement gradually dispersed . No one noticed there was a humble car on the corner of the street . The carriage started slowly as everyone left .
Inside the car, Yu Linglong put down the curtain, with an imperceptible sneer on her face .
