Chapter C22 – Qinghe Has to Die
Proofread by Yin Jing
Yan Shuang hears the cry of Qinghe when she is still at the door and a feeling of uneasiness arises from the bottom of her heart suddenly. However, as the situation is still unclear, Yan Shuang managed to fight her uneasiness back.
Everyone felt glad and comfortable as if they were relieved after a long period of suppression when they saw Qinghe was fl.u.s.tered and embarra.s.sed. But now that Miss Shuang and Mrs. Yan come here, they all feel a little uneasy.
If… if Qinghe gets away this time, their lives will no longer be tranquil in the future.
Thinking of this, all the people become depressed and worried, especially the girl who turned Qinghe in first. They silently lower their heads and step aside, leaving a way for Mrs. Yan and Yan Shuang.
“What happened? What’s with the look?” Yan Shuang frowns and says with dissatisfaction.
As soon as Yan Shuang approaches, Qinghe swoops up and hugs her ankles.
Qinghe is covered with mud all over now. Her hair is wet and pressed against her face because of her sweat out of pain. And there are obvious bloodstains on her body.
Yan Shuang subconsciously wants to avoid, only to find that she is held by Qinghe tightly. Now that so many people are watching, Yan Shuang cannot act rashly, so she has to fight back the disgust in her heart.
“Here comes my sister!” Yan Ling pretends to be very kind and comes forward. She holds Yan Shuang’s hand and greets her.
“Sister.” Yan Shuang is upset now. Seeing the appearance of Qinghe, she can tell something is wrong.
“I didn’t expect that you would come, sister. Just now the maid said that you sent her to give me something. Although I don’t believe her, I don’t know if everyone else does. So I want to ask you, my sister, if it is true.”
After saying that, Yan Ling looks at Yan Shuang with a smile, not mentioning what Qinghe said about her forgetting “the thing” in the yard of Miss Shuang.
Also, when Yan Ling says “sending something”, she looks at the poisonous insects on the ground on purpose and the smile on her face is even colder.
Yan Shuang looks at the insects on the ground, with Yan Ling’s words ringing in her ears, and subconsciously thinks that Qinghe has betrayed her. She is worried and angry and subconsciously lowers her head to stare at Qinghe.
Obviously Qinghe doesn’t know what happened. But when she sees Miss Shuang’s piercing stare, she s.h.i.+vers subconsciously and lowers her head. However, this response makes Yan Shuang more convinced that Qinghe has betrayed her.
“Why would I do that? If I wanted to send you something, sister, of course I would have come here in person, instead of sending a sewrvant. ” Yan Shuang forces a smile and hurriedly draws the line between her and Qinghe.
“Milady…” Qinghe is shocked. She looks up at Yan Shuang and her expression was a giveaway for her astonishment.
Qinghe thought that Yan Shuang was her saviour. Hearing this, she turns pale.
When Yan Shuang hears Qinghe’s words, instead of looking down at her, she kicks Qinghe hard and breaks away from her. Then, as if avoiding the plague, Yan Shuang steps back a few steps.
“Of course I believe you, my sister, but…” Yan Ling smiles but she seems hesitant.
When Yan Shuang sees this, she hurriedly continues, “You have to believe me, sister! I heard from the b.i.t.c.h a few days ago that she was holding a grudge against your maid, Liyi.”
“I taught her a lesson at that time. I thought she was just complaining, but I didn’t expect that Qinghe would go behind my back. It is really disappointing.” Yan Shuang says, wiping her eyes with her sleeve.
Yan Ling sneers to herself, but she pretends to be coordinated: “Now it seems the girl who makes her own decision and I won’t blame you, my sister.”
“Qinghe is my servant. It’s also my fault that I didn’t train her well. Please forgive me, sister.” Yan Shuang pretends to be guilty when she looks at Yan Ling.
“These poisonous insects are very similar to those outside your yard recently, sister. Is it her who deliberately framed you? Then, isn’t that poison in the small bags?” Yan Shuang suddenly exclaims.
Yan Ling smiles and looks at an old man behind Mrs. Yan, “It’s really a coincidence that Dr. Ma is here. Why don’t we ask Dr. Ma to see if it’s poison? “
Seeing that Dr. Ma and Mrs. Yan are a little embarra.s.sed, Yan Ling couldn’t help sneering. They bring a doctor. It seems that they really have a well-considered plan to frame her.
Dr. Ma cannot say anything else after he was called. He steps forward and bends down to pick up the two small paper bags on the ground.
Of course Dr. Ma knows that there’s poison in them, for it was taken from him. However, in the presence of so many people, he can only pretend to inspect them very seriously and gives his diagnosis.
“It’s indeed poison, ladies, and it is highly toxic.” Dr. Ma says seriously with his head bowed.
Yan Shuang cries upon she hears his words. And she says almost with tears, “It’s all my fault that I didn’t train my servant well. I’m awfully sorry, sister. “
Although Yan Ling is disgusted at her, she still puts her arms around Yan Shuang’s shoulders and says in a low voice, “Don’t be silly, dear. You have nothing to do with all this. “
“Well, since it’s something that the servant girl did by herself, it’s not Shuang’er’s fault. Ling’er, you have been wronged this time, so you can punish the girl as your wish.” Mrs. Yan stands out to mediate.
“No, no, no…” Qinghe is out of her mind now. When she hears that Yan Ling is the one to punish her, she began crying and murmuring with her head down.
Liyi turns around, for she is not hardhearted enough to watch what will happen next. Although Liyi has always thought that Qinghe is not a good person, and she wants to harm Miss Ling, Liyi knows that Qinghe is not so capable and not so courageous to do such a thing alone. It can be imagined who ordered her to do that. It’s really pathetic that her life will end up like this.
On the other hand, Liyi finally understands the saying, “Poor people are certainly hateful.” If Qinghe refused to do something bad, how could she degenerate like that?
“What’s your opinion, sister? After all, Qinghe is your maid. As an elder sister, is it okay if I raise a hand?” Yan Ling pretends to be hesitant and looks at Yan Shuang.
Of course Yan Shuang has no objections. Last time Qinghe almost exposed the secret of Yan Ling’s ident.i.ty in front of her mother, which was enough to make her dissatisfied with Qinghe.
Now, unexpectedly, she made a mistake again. So Yan Shuang feels that Qinghe has to die.
