The Plot of a Concubine's Revenge

Chapter 13: Two Eagles in One Stone

“Old madam, this was searched out from the rock crevice under the wigwam.” Sister Gui lowered her head and presented a tightly wrapped bundle, as if it hid some unspeakable secret.

Old Madame Ren's eye winds swept across the faces of the Fifth Mistress and Ren Yaoyu like sharp blades, signaling Sister Gui to open the bundle. Sister Gui carefully placed the bundle on the kang table, turned her back, and unraveled the bundle with trembling fingers, when suddenly, the room resounded with her fearful huffing sound, like a thunderbolt exploding in the calm air.

Old Mrs. Ren frowned and glanced at it, then her pupils shrunk violently, and her face turned iron blue, as if she had seen something extremely frightening. The crowd also curiously looked towards the kang table, but saw that the autumn scented wrapping skin had been spread out on the kang table, in the middle of which was a white cloth puppet, the adult two palm-sized cloth puppet was actually painted with red vermilion sand all over the messy symbols, at a glance shocking, it is no wonder that the always calm and steady Grandma Gui also sucked in a mouthful of cold air at the first sight.

Everyone here could see that this was a curse technique circulating among the women in the backyard. The air-dried yin and yang grass wrapped in white cloth to make a human figure, sewed on the top of the cursed person's birthdate and eight characters, with dog's blood to draw on the curse spell, this evil means, once discovered, the consequences are unimaginable.

Ren old lady that cold and solemn gaze as two sharp knives, straight to those two have been scared “plop” kneel down the maid: “You even have the courage to do this kind of sordid hook in the house!” In his voice, there was uncontrollable anger and disappointment.

The two maids trembled and crouched and begged for mercy, their voices miserable: “Old lady spare your life, old lady spare your life ah ......” They knew that they had fallen into a situation of no return.

The big family is the most taboo this kind of evil way, especially the person in charge of the family, the most can not forgive this kind of behavior. If an underling was involved, he would be sent to the government to be publicly caned for a hundred lashes. A hundred lashes in the court, in fact, is tantamount to taking a person's life, that kind of pain, that kind of humiliation, is something that no one can bear.

The First Mistress also had an ugly face, with helplessness and pain in her tone: ''You guys are also too confused, how could you do such a thing! Our Ren family is most intolerant of subordinates using such shady tactics! You guys ...... hey ......” She shook her head as if she was feeling sorry for the stupidity of these two maids.

The maid with a mole on her face seemed to have reacted, suddenly turned her head to look at the colorless Ren Yaoyu, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly took a few steps on her knees and pounced on her: “Eighth Miss save your life, Eighth Miss save your life ah--” she knew that only by dragging Ren Yaoyu into the water, she would have a chance of survival. she knew that only by dragging Ren Yaoyu into the water, she herself would have a chance of survival.

The Fifth Mistress was just getting annoyed, when she saw this, she kicked the maid's heart and scolded, “Shut your mouth!” She knew that once Ren Yaoyu was involved, things would become even more complicated.

That maid, however, put her heart across and yelled regardless, “This is the eighth miss's stuff, the slave girl was only ordered to take it out and bury it, and didn't know the inside story!” Her words were like a heavy bomb that exploded in the room, shocking everyone.

The other maid who only cared about crying was also busy sobbing while saying, “Old madam, how could the slave maids dare to curse the master with this kind of thing, the slave maids were really only following orders.” Her words carried a few points of aggression and helplessness, as if she was also a victim.

If they had dragged the eighth young lady down, the Ren family would not have sent them to the court due to their face. They were gambling, gambling that the Ren family would not drive them to extinction because of this matter.

Old Mrs. Ren looked at Ren Yaoyu with cold eyes, “What do you say?” She knew that the key to this matter lay in Ren Yaoyu's response.

Ren Yaoyu is weak in the legs, see the question “wow -” a cry, tears like broken beads sliding down, her heart is full of fear and despair: “I'm just having fun. ...... I ...... I used not dog's blood but vermilion sand ...... Third sister she won't die ah ...... “Her words were like a sharp knife, piercing into the hearts of everyone present.

Yet these words were an admission that she had made this thing. Ren Yaohua, who was mentioned by name, had a stunned face, and subconsciously looked towards the muppet on that kang table, a trace of complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

Fifth Mistress was infuriated by her own daughter, she really wanted to slap her and scold her as “Stupid!” But it was too late for her to scold her. She knew that this matter could not be undone.

Seeing that everyone in the room was looking at the mother and daughter with complicated expressions, the Fifth Mistress barely managed to hold back her anger, and turned to the old lady with a smile, “Mother, Yu'er is young and doesn't know what's important. It's just a playful thing between sisters, but she even got involved in this kind of thing. She was only provoked by the people below her, and actually didn't understand what she was doing at all. This time, it is also because the daughter-in-law was not strict in her discipline, so please ask your elder to forgive this time.” Her words carried a bit of humility and pleading, as if she was apologizing for her ignorance and negligence.

The matter of the curse was described by her in a few words as a petty fight between sisters, as if this matter was not worth mentioning at all. However, Ren Yaohua didn't eat this set of words and said with a sneer on her face: ''Fifth Aunt Yaohua doesn't understand, I forgive the eighth sister for being generous, but not forgiving her for being a small-minded person? You do elder condescend to personally come to me as a junior to make amends, if I do not obey your words is no respect? This hat is really big, forgive Yaohua for being too small to wear it.” Her words carried a bit of sharpness and provocation, as if she was challenging the Fifth Mistress's authority.

The fifth wife's eyes flashed a trace of irritation, but today is her daughter is the first to be in the wrong, she had to hold back her anger, and was about to say a few more soft words to stabilize the scene, that side of the Gui Sister was “eek” a sound, will be that behind the puppet that has written the birth date of the eight characters of the cloth pulled out, and this time to see is actually shocked, subconsciously to the old lady She subconsciously glanced toward the old lady.

Old Mrs. Ren noticed her movement and also swept towards the piece of cloth in her hand, this look actually changed her face greatly, turning her head and pointing angrily at Ren Yaoyu, she scolded, “Bastard! Kneel down!” Her voice was like a thunderbolt that exploded in the room, shocking everyone.

Ren Yaoyu was huffing and puffing, and when she saw Old Madam Ren suddenly burst into a rage, she was so frightened that her body trembled and she fell to her knees, as if she was oppressed by an invisible force. The Fifth Mistress, who was originally still talking to Ren Yaohua, froze and turned back, “Mother ......” a trace of panic and incomprehension flashed in her eyes.

“Don't call me mother! Look at what a good thing you've raised!” Old Mrs. Ren was so angry that she was shaking, picking up the muppet and slamming it towards Mrs. Fifth, right on her face. Fifth Mistress froze, then felt a bit humiliated, her eyes immediately turned red. She raised her sleeve and wiped her tears from her face, and was about to express her dissatisfaction, but when her eyes swept to the puppet on the floor, she stiffened, and was unable to speak a word.

The people in the room also saw clearly the cloth puppet on the ground labeled with the birth date, a moment of silence in the room. The birthdate was written with vermilion pen, shocking to the eyes, but it was not Ren Yaohua's birthdate. Ren Yaohua was born on the sixth day of the eighth month in the year of Gengwu, and the hour written on it was correct, but it was the year of Geng Yin.

All the people in Ren's house know that the reason why Mrs. Ren treats the third miss Ren Yaohua differently is not only because Ren Yaohua looks like her when she was young, but also because Ren Yaohua's birthdate is the same day and the same hour as hers. The birthdate on this muppet used for the curse was obviously Old Madam Ren's.

Ren Yaoqi watched from beginning to end, the surprise on the faces of the fifth wife's mother and daughter as well as Ren Yaohua did not seem to be faked. She finally understood why in her last life, the fifth wife would bite the bullet and say that Ren Yaohua had framed Ren Yaoyu. Looking at Ren Yaoyu's behavior, this muppet should really be from her hand, but the birth date she wrote was Ren Yaohua's, but in the end it somehow became Old Madam Ren's. In the end, Ren Yaoyu was sentenced to death for this.

In the end, Ren Yaoyu was abandoned by Old Madam Ren because of this, while Ren Yaohua regained the qualification to stay in the Ronghua Courtyard, so who else had a better motive to frame Ren Yaoyu than Ren Yaohua? Ren Yaoyu's heart was filled with doubts and anger, she knew that there must be a bigger conspiracy and secret hidden behind this matter, and she, must find out everything.
