Chapter 2012: Encounter with the Eldest Sister (4)

The third girl said: "My mother was indeed killed by that vicious woman Chaoqing. Two months ago, my mother fell into the lotus pond and drowned on her way back from paying respects to her. You have seen that lotus pond. The water is not deep and people cannot be drowned unless they are forced into the water or knocked unconscious and thrown into the water."

"After my mother died, I wanted to check her body to find out how she died, but the vicious woman was guilty and did not allow me to see it. She also used the excuse that the child's soul was incomplete and was afraid that my mother's ghost would take away our souls. She even did not let us take a look at the body when it was embalmed..."

Speaking of this, her voice gradually choked: "My mother is a master of perfume making and has inherited the true teachings of my grandfather. If she had not been killed, our family would have lived a good life. Unfortunately..."

She could not continue, and she leaned on the table and cried suppressedly. Her thin shoulders trembled and looked very pitiful.

I don't know how to persuade people, nor do I know how to comfort her, so I can only say: "Everyone has their own destiny. It was your mother who chose to be Dong Guanghui's concubine, so this is her fate."

"No, my mother didn't follow that man voluntarily."

She raised her head and sniffed, saying: "Back then, my mother was also seriously injured in that disaster, and was saved by Dong Guanghui. Dong Guanghui forced my mother to follow him on the pretext of collecting and burying the bodies of my grandfather's family. Otherwise, based on my mother's personality, she would not be willing to be a concubine even if she was killed."

I understood. It turned out that there was such a case in it. Before, I was wondering why the perfumer of Mifangzhai earned a lot of money and gave his good daughter to a son-in-law with no future as a concubine. Moreover, Princess Chaoqing was jealous by nature, and her daughter would not have a good ending if she became a concubine of her son-in-law. Now I understand that the third girl's mother was not willing, but was forced to become Dong's concubine.

The third lady continued, "You also know that Chaoqing was very jealous, so Dong Guanghui didn't dare to be openly close to my mother, so he pretended to keep an actor next door to my mother. Every time he went to see my mother, he would first go to the actor's place, and then go to my mother through the secret passage of the actor's house. You probably heard about what happened later. The actor he used to deceive people was burned to death by the fierce woman with an iron. They were reprimanded by His Majesty and could no longer gain a foothold in the capital, so they returned to Tongzhou."

"My mother wanted to get away from him and live a quiet life with my sister and me, but he insisted on bringing my mother here. She was just a weak woman, how could she beat him, so he sent someone to bring her here by force. There is no wall that is impenetrable. Our existence, to The vicious woman found out about it, and she sent someone to bring us back to the mansion, and then she began to torture us in various ways. Scolding, starving, and beating were all commonplace. At first, I thought that as long as we were patient, we could take my mother away when we grew up. Unexpectedly, my mother was killed by her before we grew up... "

"So, I will not be afraid of her anymore, and I will not be patient anymore. When I get out in the future, I will find a way to make myself stronger little by little. Sooner or later, I will avenge my mother!"

In the darkness, her voice was a little hoarse, but with a shocking determination. Although she was just a weak little girl and could not stand a single blow in front of Princess Chaoqing, I believed her words without a doubt.

This girl will become strong one day!

"Mother----Mother----"

A soft voice came from the inner room, with a crying tone, and it sounded like a child.
