The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1709 Ge Dongqing's concubine complains endlessly

Lu Si Niang stood up. "Ge Dongqing, after several months, you still don't have the ability to manage household affairs. Then I, Lu Si Niang, will take care of it for you today."

Seeing the whip in Lu Si Niang's hand, Fu Liu instinctively wanted to find a place to hide, but because of her status, she did not run away. She puffed out her chest and said defiantly, "Lu Si Niang, who do you think you are? I am the head of the Ge family now, and it is not your place to interfere in the affairs of my Ge family!"

Lu Si Niang said coldly, "Chun'er used to serve me, Lu Si Niang, and now she has been murdered. I, Lu Si Niang, will definitely get justice for her. I will not let her die in vain. Whoever's debt it is, I will settle it with them. A life for a life. You can only come with your life."

"Lu Si Niang, I'm warning you, I'm a concubine of the Ge family, do you dare touch me?" She spoke tough words, but her heels were weak and she couldn't stand steadily. She took two steps back and swayed. Her pale and ashen face betrayed her fear.

Just as Fu Liu was about to run away, Lu Si Niang's whip struck Fu Liu's face. Amidst the screams of those around her, a thumb-thick bloodstain bisected Fu Liu's face. Before Fu Liu could even let out a heart-wrenching cry, she collapsed to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.

Lian'er felt a sense of satisfaction looking at Fuliu like this. "Madam, isn't it too easy for her to be whipped to death with just one lash!"

Lu Si Niang laughed and said, "How could there be such a good thing? I know in my heart that this person won't die. Someone, bring up the pig cage that just contained Chun'er and stuff Fu Liu inside."

When the servants saw that Ge Dongqing did not stop them, they knew that Ge Dongqing had tacitly approved Lu Siniang's method of killing Fuliu. So everyone hurriedly stuffed Fuliu into the pig cage, then hung the pig cage up and put it into the lake. As soon as it entered the water, Fuliu woke up with a start. She struggled and shouted for help, but no one present sympathized with her.

The servant asked Lu Si Niang, "Madam, should the entire pig cage be submerged in water?"

Lu Si Niang said, "Let Fu Liu's head emerge from the water. I want her to die slowly. I want to see Fu Liu, who is afraid of death, to look like she is clinging to life. I want her to pay for her crime with her own blood."

Fu Liu cried out to Ge Dongqing from the water's surface, "Master, save me! I know I was wrong!"

This was the first time Ge Dongqing had been so ruthless to Fu Liu. "You brought this upon yourself, and you should reap what you sow."

“Master, I wasn’t the only one who killed Chun’er; several of them also contributed.”

Ge Dongqing looked at the pale-faced women who were retreating like a swarm of snakes and rats, feeling utterly disheartened. He had never imagined that these women would dare to kill anyone, not even himself. "I've only been gone for half a day, and a murder has already occurred in this mansion. None of the murderers will escape."

At this point, the women started biting each other, each trying to extricate themselves completely.

The commotion was deafening, giving Ge Dongqing a headache, while Lu Si Niang sat there calmly, observing the women in front of her as they fabricated their lies, while listening to the cries for help from the willows on the lake.

Lu Si Niang was glad that she had been kicked out by Ge Dongqing early on, because she was tired of seeing such a chaotic scene every time she saw it.

The maidservant Chan'er, who was holding a willow branch, was trembling with fear. She was still trying her best to plead for her master, "Master, please spare the life of the first concubine! She is innocent!"

“She’s innocent. She’s murdered, abused servants. Tell me, where is she innocent? Does Fuliu even respect me, the head of this household? I’ve been played by your master several times already. I’ve seen through her true colors long ago, but I just couldn’t bring myself to kill her! Today she killed someone in the mansion. I, Ge Dongqing, will clean house.”

Chan'er cried and pleaded, "Master, my mistress has already realized her mistake. If you don't rescue her soon, she will die. Master, my mistress is your confidante! Don't you love listening to her sing for you? If my mistress dies, who will sing for you and accompany you in reciting poems?"

In the past, Ge Dongqing would have softened and wavered by this time, but today is different. This is murder. He had thought about selling Lian'er and Chun'er because of Lu Siniang, but he never had the intention to kill them. How could this usually gentle and weak Fuliu be so ruthless? This time, Ge Dongqing was determined to kill Fuliu!

Lian'er, unable to contain her anger, kicked Chan'er, who was kneeling on the ground. "You dog of a servant who colludes with your master! Your master is a human being, but isn't Chun'er a human being too? You still have the mind to cry for your master? I think you should cry for yourself first. Your master committed murder, and you are the biggest accomplice. If your master dies, do you think you will have a good end? You should think about your own future!"

Chan'er's desperate pleas were all for her own future. As long as her master was alive, she was safe; but if her master died, the Ge family might do whatever they wanted to her. She was already trembling with fear.

"Master, the First Concubine is innocent! It was the Fourth Concubine who exposed your affair with Chun'er, the Second Concubine who suggested drowning Chun'er in a pig cage, and the Third Concubine who falsely accused Chun'er of disrespecting the First Concubine. They are all murderers! Master, you can't just punish my First Concubine!" In order to save Fuliu, Chan'er dragged everyone into the mess.

Ge Dongqing knew that all the concubines were involved in the killing and watching the spectacle, but upon hearing their actions, he couldn't help but nod in anger. "What a fine scheme! Good, good, good! Today, I, Ge Dongqing, have seen through you all, you demons and monsters. Second Concubine usually seems the most honest and kind, but it turns out that such a vicious punishment as drowning in a pig cage was your idea. I was hoping you would assist Fuliu in managing the affairs of the manor; I, Ge Dongqing, misjudged you. Guards, beat Second Concubine to death."

The second concubine's body went limp and she knelt on the ground. "Master, it's a frame-up! You can't just listen to the one-sided story of a maid like Chan'er! Chan'er's heart is just as vicious as her mistress's. She's trying to find a scapegoat for the first concubine! Master, you can't believe the slander of a maid!"

Chan'er said, "Second concubine, stop pretending to be pitiful. I finally understand why you gave my master the terrible idea of ​​drowning him in a pig cage. You and my master are fighting openly and secretly, just to take away the position of the head of the Ge family. When you saw that my master and Chun'er were getting along, you came up with such a despicable trick as drowning my first concubine in a pig cage. You are the real murderer."

The second concubine cried out in injustice, "I'm innocent! Chun'er seduced the master, and your master was angry with Chun'er and said he wanted to kill her. I only said that this person should be thrown into a pig cage, and today this person was thrown into a pig cage. What does this have to do with me? Your master is stupid! It was Fu Liu who did the killing, what does it have to do with me!"

Chan'er retorted without backing down, "If my mistress is the one who wielded the knife, then you're the one who handed it to her. If my mistress dies, you won't live either!"
