Chapter 72 – She is also a victim
A quarter of an hour or so later Sister Wu walked over with a woman.
Sister Wu had a sullen face. She was angry at both Zhou Erqiang for torturing Shui Zhu to the point of being inhuman, and also for his rudeness towards her own girl. Nowadays, not to mention the old madam, even Master Jiang Bo’s attitude towards the second girl had changed, and that Zhou Erqiang’s stance was still in full force. He gave him two taels of silver, and he only gave a “hmm”, as if the second girl wanted to flatter him. What a thing!
As they got closer, Jiang Yishi’s eyes turned red. In less than three years, that elegant Shui Zhu had become a completely different person. Her face was pale, very thin, with wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and she felt close to thirty years old. She had just turned eighteen this year.
An older woman passed by and she laughed loudly, ”Mrs. Zhou, I heard that you went to the Hundred Zi Temple three months ago to seek a child, and this is how you got pregnant. Aigoo, the Hundred Son Temple is really spiritual, I’ll let my oldest daughter-in-law go there again tomorrow.”
Shui Zhu blushed and forced a few smiles from the woman.
Jiang Yishi took a look at Shui Zhu, even if she had changed a lot, she was not the same as a country daughter-in-law, not only was her skin white, but her temperament was also much better.
Shui Zhu’s slightly embarrassed expression made Jiang Yishi’s heart sink, could she also be ……
Shui Zhu came to Jiang Yishi, knelt down and kowtowed, crying, “The slave girl thought she would never see the second girl again in this life.”
Jiang Yishi got up and helped her up, saying sadly, “I was careless before, not knowing that Zhou Erqiang was so bad. If I had known earlier, I would not have let you marry that scoundrel even at the risk of offending the First Mistress.”
Shui Zhu cried, “This is the slave girl’s life, girl doesn’t need to feel sorry for the slave girl.”
Jiang Yishi said, “You are my maid, I won’t keep letting you be bullied by that man. Wait, I’ll have someone clean up Zhou Erqiang and force him to merge with you.”
She couldn’t do anything about Meng Yue’s lackeys, but to take down one lackey of the Wujin Burial House one in the countryside, Meng Lianshan and the others would be able to do it. Besides, someone as bad as Zhou Erqiang was definitely not clean.
She asked again, “Do you know the crimes Zhou Erqiang has committed? It’s better to have evidence.”
Shui Zhu said, “That dead ghost and his two sons don t have a good thing, they secretly raised the field rent to eat the difference, and they also forced the rent to kill people …….”
Afterwards, they privately compensated the sufferer’s family ten taels of silver, and even forced with a scare, the sufferer can only tolerate, do not dare to denounce.
Eat field rent difference Jiang Yishi is not interested in, greedy also greedy Jiang big lady. Forcing people to die,……, the people do not sue the officials do not correct, but if someone sued, into the State House and then add a fire, the government can not not be thoroughly investigated.
Jiang Yishi asked in detail what happened. Go back to Meng Ruimo said, let people give the victim’s family a few silver, by the victim to go to the county court sued Zhou Erqiang father and son, Meng family then go to knock the magistrate.
She asked again, “How long have you been pregnant?”
Shui Zhu reddened and mumbled, “More than two months.”
Jiang Yishi signaled the others to walk away.
She first pursed her lips in embarrassment, and seemed to make up her mind before saying quietly, “I heard that going to Baizi Temple to seek a marriage is also very spiritual ……”
Before she could finish her words, Shui Zhu stopped in horror, “Don’t, girl mustn’t go there.” Feeling that she had lost her temper, she hurriedly said, “The Hundred Zi Temple is small, and its spirituality is all a legend. It’s also a coincidence that the slave girl is pregnant. Miss should go to the big temples like the Temple of the Annunciation, the Temple of Guanghe, and the Showa Nunnery is also good and close to the Huzhuang.”
Jiang Yixi stubbornly said, “They say that Hundred Zi Temple is spiritual, and you got pregnant as soon as you went there, so where is the coincidence. You also know that I’m an orphan girl, and if I don’t think about my life’s affairs on my own, those people simply won’t genuinely help me.”
Seeing the girl’s stubborn face, not listening to her own advice, Shuizhu covered her mouth and shed silent tears. Looking around, she hurriedly wiped away her tears.
Her own life is bitter, married a bastard old man. The first child was aborted, she did not want to have another child. She didn’t know how long she would live, and those two little bastards wouldn’t treat her child well. But that deadbeat man just wants an old coming son, she did not get pregnant for two years, so she forced her to go to the Hundred Zi Temple to seek a child, but she met that kind of thing …….
No matter what, we can t let the girl go there. The girl is so handsome, how can those bad people let her go. She felt that she was already like this, maybe one day she would be killed by that dead ghost, what is fame.
Then she gathered enough courage and said quietly, “Girl, Hundred Zi Temple is not good, is, is, is a den of prostitution …… slave girl was chanting sutras, accidentally fell asleep, wait until she woke up, discover, discover ……”
Seeing the girl staring at her in a daze, Shui Zhu shyly full of red, covering her mouth to prevent herself from crying out. She felt that she did not say to understand the girl simply do not understand those things, and said through clenched teeth, “Discovered that the slave girl was raped. When leaving, an evil monk also threatened the slave girl …….”
That monk said, “Buddha said, I don’t go to hell, who goes to hell. The female abbess seeks a child, and we did everything we could to help. If you conceive a child, you don’t need to thank us, just remember our goodness in your heart. If you dare to talk nonsense and slander us, you’ll be doomed. And we have someone behind us who won’t shake the slightest bit.”
That evil monk was in his forties, looking kind and kind, but the words he said were like an ice pick piercing the bones ……
“This child that the slave girl is carrying, I don’t know if it’s that dead ghost’s or that evil monk’s.”
After saying this, Shui Zhu tightly bit her lips, forcing herself not to cry out.
It really was like this.
Even though Jiang Yishi had already made some guesses, she still looked at this woman in front of her with heartache. She didn’t even dare to cry, yet she had the courage to reveal this secret that might bring her to her doom.
Jiang Yishi’s tears also welled up, and she forced them down. Saying, “I know, thank you for telling me this secret, I won’t go there. Take care of yourself, I’ll have someone come to save you from Zhou Erqiang as soon as possible.”
“Can you really let me merge away from that dead ghost?” Hope flared up again in Shui Zhu’s eyes.
Jiang Yishi said, “Of course I can, my father saved the Duke of Cheng, the old Duke of Cheng and the Duke of Meng are very good to Xun’er and I, they will help. This is something you must never confide in a second person, and you must not let the Zhou family see the signs, you must protect yourself.”
Jiang Yishi gave her a few pieces of silver, and asked Sister Wu to go to the village to cut a few pounds of meat for her. It wasn’t that Jiang Yishi couldn’t spare it, this silver might be something she could keep.
Jiang Yishi sat on the mule cart, closed his eyes and thought about his thoughts. Perhaps it was true as Hua Hua said, reborn and traveling people were always luckier than normal people. She was worried about how to tell Meng Zhimo about the Hundred Zi Temple, and Shui Zhu was actually a victim of the Hundred Zi Temple. Using Shui Zhu to implicate the Hundred Sons Temple was logical.
Ending the Hundred Sons Temple was a good idea, and even the scandal of catching Zhao Yuan Cheng and Su Xin at the Hundred Sons Temple was also a good idea. But it was necessary to let Meng Zhimo know that the Zhao family and the Fu family wanted to use Su Xin to harm Meng Yue, and it was necessary to find an appropriate opportunity.
One had to talk about Shui Zhu’s family affairs first, what happened to Shui Zhu at Baizi Temple and so on before saying anything. As for Su Xin, he must have Jiang Da follow him closely. If they plan to advance, have to quickly find a way to tell Meng Ruimo ……
