Chapter 388 Zhang Jueping Dies Tragically on the Road to Exile
After listening to Su Qingwan's story again, Jiang couldn't help but sigh.
"It's really unexpected that he would do such a thing."
"Yes! I saw that Grandfather's face was black with anger, and his arm was broken by Second Uncle today. It's obvious that when he gets crazy, he can't control himself at all."
Su Qingwan continued.
"This matter won't involve you, right? That troupe..."
Su Qingwan knew that Jiang was going to say that she was the one who invited the troupe, and the old marquis and the others might later suspect her, so she smiled and said:
"No, Grandfather has called Second Uncle's followers to question them. From what I can see, Second Uncle has been taking Wu Shi San for quite some time, so he must have known the man in the troupe for a long time."
"That's good!" Jiang was relieved.
While the mother and daughter were chatting, someone came in and reported, "Third Madam, Fourth Miss, the Third Master just returned home and was called over by the old Marquis."
The two looked at each other and guessed that the old marquis was probably going to tell Su Zhiru about what happened today.
"Mom, just pretend you don't know. After all, we can't help you with this matter." Su Qingwan said.
Jiang nodded. That was her second uncle's business. How could she, as his sister-in-law, take care of it?
That night, under the lights, the beauty was as white as jade, which aroused Su Zhiyi's high spirits. He hugged his concubine and made love for most of the night.
After the candlelight in this wing went out, the news was delivered to Liu's room.
"What a shameless bitch, she has been pestering me to play with her until now." Nanny Zhou said with disdain.
But these words were meant for Liu to hear, so that she would feel better after hearing them.
"It's her ability that she can pester the master until now. I just hope she can fight for it and try to have a child, so that she won't make a fuss but get nothing in return."
Liu said calmly.
Until now, she had only used Su Zhiyi as a breeding pig, but he was too useless. How long had passed, and he hadn't made any of his concubines pregnant. Could he really do it? And what Liu knew was that those concubines had used all kinds of drugs to help them get pregnant in order to win favor. Even Liu was quite anxious and gave Su Zhiyi and those concubines many folk prescriptions.
On the second day, the genius doctor disciple that the second house had been longing for did not come. Only in the afternoon did someone from the Earl of Yongkang's mansion come.
Su Qingwan and Jiang knew the news at the same time. Although Jiang didn't want to show up, she is now the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, so it is natural for her to invite people from the Earl's Mansion in.
"Please ask Madam Liu and the others to go sit in the flower hall for a while, and then go and invite the old lady and the eldest lady to come."
Jiang instructed that the people from the Earl of Yongkang's Mansion could not be here as guests, they must be here to visit Liu.
In Tinglan Courtyard, Liu looked suspiciously at the person who came to deliver the message, "Did the people from the Earl's Mansion say what they were here for?"
She had completely broken up with the Earl's Mansion before, so what did her stepmother do this time?
Liu instinctively didn't want to see her, but since they had already come to her house, it would be unreasonable for her not to see them.
"I don't know about this, Madam, please move to the flower hall."
"Got it. You can leave first. I'll change my clothes and go over." Liu asked the man to leave. After the man left, Madam Zhou pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly:
"The Third Madam is really something. Didn't she find an excuse to send Old Madam Liu away? She even made you make another trip. I think she did it on purpose."
Upon hearing this, Liu sneered, "She is now the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. Everyone in the mansion has to live under her will. She is so powerful! How can she handle these trivial matters?"
She became even more disgusted with Jiang. If she had known earlier, she should have let the third branch of the family live in the outer city when they just returned to the Marquis' Mansion. She should never have let them enter the Marquis' Mansion, or let them die on the way to the capital.
But now everything was too late. Liu stopped thinking about it and went to the inner room to change her clothes, then led Nanny Zhou to the flower hall.
As soon as she came out, waves of coldness swept over her. Liu shivered unconsciously, tightened her cloak around her body, and then continued to walk slowly forward.
In the flower hall, Su Qingwan and Jiang had already arrived and were sitting aside drinking tea. Old Madam Liu and others were also sitting in the flower hall, but no one was drinking tea. Instead, they looked solemn.
Seeing that Old Madam Liu was trying hard to suppress her grief, Su Qingwan narrowed her eyes slightly. Today it all depended on how Old Madam Liu would perform.
A few days ago, she received a message sent to the capital by carrier pigeon that Da Liu and Zhang Jueping had died on the way to exile. In addition to them and their son, many other people in the Zhang family had also died.
After careful inquiries, we learned that Zhang Jueping had become a eunuch. The wound had not healed yet, but he had to force himself to go on the road. His wound continued to bleed and fester along the way. Besides, how could an exiled person find a good doctor to see him?
On the contrary, the officers and soldiers who escorted Zhang Jueping to exile felt bad and thought that Zhang Jueping was hypocritical, being a woman but still acting like a sissy, and just wanted to avoid being lazy. In addition, someone from above had told them to teach the Zhang family a lesson, so naturally these officers and soldiers were not pushovers. When Zhang Jueping couldn't walk, they whipped her. Even though her pants were covered in blood, they just ignored it.
Later, Zhang Jueping was so weak and pale that he was hanging on to his last breath. The officers and soldiers said that he was hypocritical and pretended to be weak and innocent to seduce the men. Some even thought that Zhang Jueping was too slow and asked how long it would take to reach the place of exile. So they rode their horses and dragged Zhang Jueping forward.
Zhang Jueping was tortured to death, his whole body was covered in blood, and he died without a single spot of good land. Some people in the Zhang family scolded him, but they all understood that they were exiled prisoners. These officers and soldiers were so blatant, they must have received instructions from above to torture them to death. After Zhang Jueping was tortured to death, Da Liu was the second one to be tortured. A group of officers and soldiers were on the road continuously, and they were full of blood. They felt that although Da Liu was middle-aged, she was used to a life of luxury over the years, and she was still well maintained, and her complexion and temperament were naturally quite good.
They hadn't tried the taste of middle-aged women yet. What was it like? An officer said that this kind of middle-aged woman was the most charming. He had tried it once many years ago and still couldn't forget it. So a group of officers and soldiers rushed over. Mrs. Liu had already watched her son die in front of her, and now she was being tortured at this age, so she bit her tongue and committed suicide.
After the eldest Liu committed suicide, other members of the Zhang family were also tortured and many died. Of course, this was only the news that Su Qingwan's people had found out. What was announced to the public was that Zhang Jueping died of a serious illness on the way to exile. The eldest Liu was heartbroken for her son, so she bit her tongue and committed suicide, and many members of the Zhang family followed suit.
It was no longer surprising for a few people to die on the road to exile. In addition, the Zhang family and the Liu family were arrogant and domineering in their daily lives, and ordinary people were not even worth their attention. Even if their deaths were to be spread, most people would probably applaud.
Su Qingwan was happy. The scene of Su Yunrou and Zhang Jueping teaming up to harm her in her last life seemed to be still vivid in her mind. Last time, Zhenzhu got back the 40,000 taels of silver that Xiaokang forced to sell to the Zhang family, and promised that the grudge was settled. So after receiving the news from Zhang Jueping, she specially sent someone to send the news to the Yongkang Earl's Mansion. They came today to confirm that the news that Da Liu was dead was true.
Jiang didn't say much, just waited for the old lady and the first lady to come over, but after waiting for a while, she saw Aunt Xu coming over and said, "Third Madam, the old lady is not feeling well, so she won't come."
How could the old lady possibly come out to see Madam Liu again? Last time at the old lady's birthday banquet, the people from the Earl's Mansion took back the 40,000 taels with great fanfare, which directly humiliated the old lady. The old lady did not order people to drive out the people from the Earl's Mansion because the Marquis' Mansion was short of staff.
After hearing what Aunt Xu said, Old Madam Liu just snorted coldly. She came to see Liu, and it didn't matter whether she met Bitch Kang or not.
After a while, Liu walked into the flower hall. As soon as she showed her face, she felt a cold gaze staring at her. Before she could say anything, Old Madam Liu rushed in front of her, raised her arm, and slapped her hard.
"Snapped!"
A crisp sound!
Old Madam Liu used all her strength to hit Mrs. Liu's cheek, causing it to twist.
"Are you happy now? You killed your elder sister and Jue Ping on the way to exile. Are you feeling proud? How could our Earl's Mansion give birth to a daughter as black-hearted as you? It's really a misfortune for our family."
Old Madam Liu scolded angrily. If she hadn't been supported by someone, she would have beaten Liu to death and made her pay for her daughter's life.
Liu was stunned!
But she heard clearly what Old Madam Liu said.
Mrs. Liu is dead!
Her son Zhang Jueping also died!
"Hehehe...how could he die?" Mrs. Liu looked at Old Madam Liu with a look of laughter and tears.
No wonder she came to the Marquis' Mansion to find me. She actually came to tell me the news of the death of Da Liu and others. This is good news.
She had wondered many times when she would hear from them, and now she finally did.
Mrs. Liu was extremely happy. She seemed not to feel any pain even though she was slapped on the face. She looked at Old Madam Liu and said:
"Since they are dead, mother, you should mourn more!"
"Or think about how to transport the bodies of my eldest sister and nephew back. I think it should be possible to transport them back. It will just cost more money. And if we transport them back at this time of year, the weather is cold, so the bodies will rot more slowly. Who knows, if you act faster, you might be able to see my eldest sister's face that has not rotted away!"
