"No matter how ruthless the second uncle is, he can't really send the third sister and the sixth sister to Goulan Courtyard. What's more, how can the old lady allow the young lady from the Chuhou Mansion to go to such a place?" Chu Yunjin said again.
The second lady smiled bitterly, "He has already thought of a way. I know he can do anything."
"So, he used the third sister and the sixth sister as a bargaining chip to force you to take poison and force you to death?" Chu Yunjin confirmed his guess.
"Yes." The second lady nodded, "I don't have any extravagant expectations, I just hope that Ying'er and Luo'er will be safe and sound."
"Second Aunt, you really don't want to resist?" Chu Yunjin looked at her, "If I have a way to save the third and sixth sisters, can I still make you stand up?"
"No, I don't want to bother anymore." The second lady waved her hand, "I can't fight, not to mention, your situation is not good either."
The second lady tried her best to take out a brocade box from the hidden compartment on the side and handed it to her, "Keep this for me and give it to them in the future when they are in trouble."
"Second Aunt..." Chu Yunjin knew that the Second Madam did not believe that she could turn her around, and she was also very aware of her situation.
It was useless for her to resist. After all, the old lady knew clearly the suffering that the second lady was going through now, but she still turned a blind eye.
Not to mention, the second master is determined to let the second lady die.
This is just to make the second lady's death justified and to give an explanation to the Yuan family.
Chu Yunjin looked at the Second Madam like this and held her hand tightly, "Second Aunt, you have a good rest. I'll keep this."
"Thank you." The second lady watched her leave.
Chu Yunjin left the house, glanced at the room where Chu Yunying and Chu Yunluo were locked up not far away, and then turned around and left.
When she returned to her yard, she pondered for a moment, "Dongyue, keep an eye on me secretly. I'm worried that the second lady will do something stupid."
"Yes." Dongyue lowered her eyes and replied.
After Chu Yunjin left, the second lady forced herself to call the people outside.
"Go and send a message to the second master and tell him that I want to see him."
"The second master has given instructions to let you rest in peace and recuperate." The woman outside said.
"Just say that I will do what he wishes," the second lady said.
"This..." The mother-in-law looked into the cold eyes of the second lady and nodded gently, "Second lady, wait a moment, I will go right away."
After a while, the footsteps of the second master were heard outside the door.
The second lady sat up half-reclined. She looked at the second master who walked in, with a sneer on her lips.
"Have you figured it out?" the second master said coldly.
"You and I were married, but I never thought that you would be so cruel." The second lady was heartbroken.
"It seems you still haven't figured it out." The second master impatiently left.
"Are you going to let me die for the sake of an aunt?" The second lady didn't understand.
"She died, and I want you to bury her with her." The second master said coldly.
"Okay, very good." The second lady sneered, "I can die, but you must promise me, otherwise, even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go."
"There is so much nonsense." The second master said solemnly, "After all, they are also my daughters, so naturally I will not treat them badly."
"You remember what I said today." The second lady snorted coldly, "You can go, I want to stay by myself."
"Huh." The second master threw up his sleeves and left.
The second lady watched his back leave, forced herself to sit up, got out of bed, and looked at the mother-in-law who was not far away, "Where is the medicine?"
"Second Madam, it's not time yet." The mother-in-law looked at her.
"It doesn't matter, I'll drink it sooner or later." The second lady said calmly, "I'd rather end it as soon as possible."
The mother-in-law stepped back and brought it in after a while.
The second lady looked at the soup and drank it without hesitation. Then she looked at herself in the bronze mirror and said, "Wait for me to change clothes and wash up."
"Yes." The mother-in-law responded.
Dongyue saw something was wrong and hurriedly went to report it.
Chu Yunjin looked at her, "It seems that I shouldn't go tonight, but I want her to be determined to kill herself."
"Master, but I have to..." Dongyue said softly.
"Can the soup and medicine be changed?" Chu Yunjin asked.
"Yes." Dongyue nodded, "But, my subordinate is worried that she will take another poison."
"I have a way..." Chu Yunjin quickly told Dongyue to do it, and then she secretly went to Qinglan's place.
Qinglan heard the movement outside and quickly stood up, "Who?"
"Aunt Qinglan." Chu Yunjin tiptoed in.
Because Qinglan didn't like being served by others and did everything herself, there was no one else in the courtyard except the mother-in-law who was guarding outside.
Marquis Chu was not worried about what anyone would do to her, so Chu Yunjin found an entrance through which she could sneak in.
Qinglan stood up and said, "It's so late, I guess something happened."
"Yes." Chu Yunjin nodded and told the whole story.
Qinglan's face darkened after hearing this, "The men in this world are really heartless."
"Aunt Qinglan, if the second lady really dies like this, wouldn't it be worthless?" Chu Yunjin said.
"If you can bring her out, I have a way to save her." Qinglan said.
"Is there any way to make others think she is dead, and then I will give her away..." Chu Yunjin said softly.
"Wait a minute." Qinglan said, whispering to her, and then said, "Just do as I say."
"Thank you Aunt Qinglan." Chu Yunjin thanked her quickly and left with the porcelain bottle.
When she arrived, the second lady was already lying there.
Dongyue looked at her and said, "Master, when my subordinates arrived, she had already taken poison."
Chu Yunjin slowly stepped forward, looked at the neatly dressed second lady in front of her, and then looked at Dongyue, then helped her up, forcefully fed all the medicine bowls in the porcelain bottle, and then said, "Look at it all
God’s will.”
After she said that, she left with Dongyue.
Before dawn the next day, the sound of gongs was heard.
After a while, Ganoderma came in from outside and said, "Miss, the second lady is gone."
"I understand." Chu Yunjin tidied up before going out.
When they arrived outside the second lady's yard, all the ladies from the other rooms had arrived, and from a distance they saw the old lady arriving too.
"Grandma." Chu Yunjin stepped forward and blessed herself.
The old lady nodded slightly and walked in.
Then everyone followed the old lady inside.
As soon as they arrived at the house, they saw the second master looking heartbroken. When he saw the old lady, he also saluted with red eyes.
"What's going on?" the old lady asked.
"My son is unlucky." The second master cried bitterly.
The old lady frowned, entered the inner room, looked at the second lady lying on the bed, and then looked at the mother-in-law kneeling on the ground, "Why can't you think about it so well?"
"Back to the old lady, the second lady has been in a state of confusion for several days. Sometimes her eyes are dull, and sometimes she talks nonsense. I don't know why. Tonight, she suddenly asked the old slave to help her change clothes and wash up. The old slave thinks he is the second lady.
I didn’t expect that after just a moment of preparing the meal, the second lady would..." the woman cried.
