Black Lotus Concubine's Case-solving Notes

Chapter 101 Evil Fruit

Feng Jia and Song Huai followed Nanny Zhen to a side courtyard in the downtown area of ​​the capital. Nanny Zhen went in and looked around at the door for a long time. Seeing that there was no suspicious person following them, she closed the door.

"Aren't you going in?" Song Huai looked at the tightly closed door. "It's too suspicious. This lady must be hiding some secret in there!"

Feng Jia looked at the courtyard, and suddenly something that she had been unable to figure out became clear. She shook her head and said, "No, it's not the right time yet."

After a pause, she said to Song Huai: "Go do something for me."

Song Huai leaned over and listened, a look of shock appeared on his face: "You let me..." He took another look at the deep courtyard, immediately understood, and nodded.

"Meng has been jumping around too much recently. It's time to put a damper on his prestige."

Feng Jia curled the corners of her mouth coldly and said, "Mother, wait, this is a big gift from your daughter!"

Three days passed and everything in Xie's house was peaceful.

At noon that day, Nanny Zhen was carrying her things and preparing to go out through the back door as usual. As soon as she walked out of the door, someone covered her mouth with her hands. Then she felt a sharp pain in her neck, rolled her eyes and fainted.

In a side courtyard in the downtown area, Xie Yunyao was dressing in front of the mirror. She heard a creak at the door. It was the sound of someone unlocking the door. She knew it was Nanny Zhen coming to deliver food. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. She didn't turn around, but complained, "Why are you so late today?"

I don't know what troubles she was thinking about. She took off all the pearl hairpins on her head and threw them into the treasure box: "Did mother say when I can go back? I can't go out here. I'm almost suffocated to death!"

"Why are not you talking?"

Xie Yunyao was puzzled. When she looked up, she saw a beautiful face in the bronze mirror. She was wearing a light blue summer dress and her hair was tied up in a simple bun. Her head was decorated with only a green bamboo hairpin. She was not wearing any makeup but looked like a fairy from heaven. However, in Xie Yunyao's eyes, she looked as terrifying as a demon crawling out of hell.

"Ah!" She screamed and fell off the stool, knocking over the treasure box on the table and causing all the jewels to fall to the ground.

"Don't come over here! Don't come over here! Please!" Xie Yunyao covered her ears and huddled up against the wall.

Feng Jia smiled faintly: "Fifth sister, you seem surprised to see me? Why, those assassins you sent didn't tell me that they failed and I'm still alive?"

Xie Yunyao's whole body couldn't stop shaking, and she shook her head repeatedly: "I don't know what you are talking about! I didn't send those four killers! It really wasn't me!"

"Ah."

There was a sarcastic laugh above my head.

"Xie Yunyao, I didn't say how many killers there were. How do you know there were four?"

Xie Yunyao's face turned extremely pale in an instant, "You...you cheated me!"

"Although Meng hates me, she still has some brains and would not choose to take action on the official road. The third and fourth rooms do not have the courage to do so. Your sister Shubai is smart and would never use such a crude method to kill me." Feng Jia stared at her. "Even if you don't say it, I know it's you. Otherwise, why do you think I came here today?"

Feng Jia grabbed Xie Yunyao's hair and lifted her up. Xie Yunyao was so scared that she was shaking like a sieve. She kept waving her hands in the air and shouted with all her strength: "Save me! Save me quickly!"

However, the guards who were supposed to be guarding outside the door were nowhere to be seen.

"Are you shouting at those annoying guys?" Feng Jia slapped her in the face, causing blood to seep from the corner of her mouth. "They have naturally been dealt with by my people. Even if you shout your throat out, no one will save you!"

"Get out! You vicious woman! Get out of here!" Being forced into a desperate situation, Xie Yunyao changed from her usual weak self, with a ferocious look on her face. She struggled violently, but the grip of his hair was like an iron clamp and she couldn't break free at all.

Another slap came down, and Xie Yunyao's face was slapped hard to the side.

"You owe me these two slaps."

"I……"

Before Xie Yunyao could finish her words, another slap landed on her face. Her cheeks swelled up and she couldn't speak clearly.

"This slap is owed to me by your mother."

"Xie Lanzhao, you're in trouble...ah!"

Another slap landed on her face. Xie Yunyao felt as if her bones were about to be broken. She opened her mouth hard, wanting to say something, but she couldn't say anything. She couldn't close her mouth either. She could only let the saliva and blood mix and flow down the corners of her mouth.

"You owe Lan Zhao this slap!"

Xie Yunyao's eardrums were buzzing and double vision began to appear in front of her eyes. It took her a long time to come back to her senses.

"I told you that if you go to Dingyuan obediently, I will spare your life. But you followed the example of your incompetent mother and went against me?" Feng Jia grabbed her neck.

Xie Yunyao felt like she couldn't breathe at all, like a fish on a chopping board, without the slightest ability to fight back, and could only allow the other party to roll her into a ball and flatten her.

She had sent someone to kill her, so there was a blood feud between them. It was useless to beg for mercy now. She could only force herself to remain calm and breathe desperately: "You dare not kill me, Xie Lanzhao! Once my mother arranges everything, I can go back! I am still the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion! And you, can only go back and be a dirty and lowly concubine's daughter!"

"Are you still dreaming here?"

Feng Jia grabbed her collar and dragged her out.

Outside, Song Huai crossed her arms and watched the show. At her feet, the guards were lying on the ground in a mess, and it was unclear whether they were dead or fainted.

Xie Yunyao was terrified and started screaming and shouting, but no matter how hard she struggled she couldn't get free. She could only watch herself being dragged onto the street.

"What are you going to do!" Xie Yunyao trembled with fear and looked around at the people coming and going.

Feng Jia threw her into the corner and said, "Of course, it's to wake you up! My dear sister!"

Xie Yunyao felt a numbness in her heart, and a bad premonition spread throughout her body: "What do you mean..."

Before he finished speaking, the storyteller beside him slapped the sleeper and said, "Let's continue from last time. We were talking about the fifth girl Xie Yunyao from the Prime Minister's Mansion. She is the incarnation of an evil dragon. She turned the Xie Mansion upside down and caused great harm to the people!"

"Everyone knows that it takes more than a year or two for a dragon to transform from a dragon! Xie Yunyao has been dormant for many years and finally chose the eldest lady of the Xie family as her fetus. It is rumored that the moment she was born, evil winds blew violently and thunder rolled in the sky! It is a rare sign of heaven's destruction! This woman specializes in sucking people's lifespan to enhance her magic power, so no one who comes into contact with her will have a good result!"

"She brought misfortune to her father and mother, and brought misfortune to her siblings! Not only that, this woman is also vicious. She was supposed to be the one sent to Stone City, but she deceived everyone and let the newly born Ninth Girl take the blame for her! Poor Ninth Girl was abused and finally returned to the capital alive, but this evil dragon would not let her go! She even instigated her family to burn her alive! Fortunately, an old Taoist priest who traveled all over the country stopped her! Otherwise! The Ninth Girl would have died! Such a witch deserves no death!"

……

"No! This is not true!" Xie Yunyao covered her ears and screamed.

Feng Jia pinched her chin and fiercely pulled down her hands that were covering her ears: "Listen to me! Listen to what the people in the capital are saying about you! Let me give you a taste of what it feels like to be slandered as a disaster! How about it, dear sister, it must be uncomfortable to be wronged, right? Do you feel the same way?"

"This is the evil karma that Meng Shi planted for me back then. You are her most precious daughter, and the evil consequences will naturally come back to you!"

"Xie Yunyao, this is only less than one tenth of the pain I feel, and you can't bear it? Do you know what Lan Zhao went through in Shicheng, and how he managed to survive all these years!"

"Let me go! Let me go! You lunatic! Xie Lanzhao, you lunatic!"

Feng Jia smiled, and as she let go, she watched Xie Yunyao collapse on the ground like a piece of mud. "I just burst your beautiful dream, dear sister, don't try to struggle anymore, and don't think about going back to the Xie Mansion. There is no place for you in this Xie Mansion anymore."

After a pause, she calmly said, "No, there is no place for you, Xie Yunyao, in the entire capital!"
