Chapter 126 Beating the chest and stamping the feet
There was a tragedy in the previous dynasty of the Wei Dynasty. A remarried mother and her second husband intended to kill the son who was left behind by her previous husband. When the second husband took a rope to tie him up, the son struggled desperately, just begging for a way to live.

When the husband was exhausted, it was the mother's turn to grab the hemp rope to kill her son. The son stopped struggling when he saw his mother holding the hemp rope.

A tear fell from the corner of He Wuma's eye.

The sound of this tear hitting the ground was louder than all the cries just now combined.

Cai Jin is right.

If Cai Jin killed her personally, she would just sit there quietly and wait for death.

but why?
He Wuma's eyes were filled with tears and blood: "Why?"

She was puzzled.

"Cai Jin, why are you trying to kill me? I won't say anything. We crawled out of the dark place of Fanlou. Your mother died early, and the madam took back the gold and silver jewelry that the patron gave to your mother. You made a living by selling wine in Xu Wanwan's room, and I made a living by mixing water into the wine I sold to you. Our only wish at the beginning was to stay alive."

"Shut up! Shut up!" Zhu was completely panicked. She turned to Shan Yue and said coldly, "Cover your ears!" She turned back and stretched out her hand to pull He Wuma suddenly. She said in a flattering tone, "Okay, okay, I'll explain this jade bottle to you when we get back. I just wanted to put it on my body for self-defense. I never thought of killing you. You must believe me!"

He Wuma blinked dully, her eyes unable to move away from the jade bottle on the ground.

That bitch Liu Shanyue fed her poisoned wine, she could overturn it! She won't drink it!
But this jade bottle.
She knew every detail of the colorful collar.

This jade bottle must be used to hold poison.

Cai Jin came to see her, holding poison in her hand
The fear and loneliness of more than ten days all rushed to my head, and the dullness caused by extreme sadness was like a sharp knife sharpening to go where it should go.

He Wuma pushed Zhu away, mumbling with a stammer, "You are very lucky. After you came to the brothel, the madam wanted to put you up for sale, and the Zhu family came to the house and wanted to take you back to replace Zhu Yingkan."

Zhu let out a wail and rushed forward, trying to pin He Wuma down.

Shanyue calmly pressed Zhu's shoulders down and pressed them firmly on the stool. He lowered his head and whispered softly, "What a good story. You have endured all these years, from being born in Fanlou to being so powerful in the capital. You must be very proud, right?"

Zhu's eyes widened, she gasped and looked at Shan Yue in fear: "You, you, who are you? What do you want to do!"

"It doesn't matter who I am." Shan Yue smiled and shook his head: "Now, I just want to hear the whole story."

A red-dyed index finger made a "silence" gesture between her red lips, and one hand tightly grasped the butterfly bone knife, with the blade pressed against Zhu's back: "So, please don't interrupt."

Leave all the stage to He Wuma.

After all, she is not the only audience member.

Zhu felt the chill on his back and his whole body went cold.

He Wuma was still chattering: "At that time, Zhu Yingkan was already dying, relying on ginseng slices to hang on every day, but she still had a good future ahead of her. The Zhu family couldn't let her go, so they used you as a backup. We two got together to guess for a long time, and you were smart enough to guess the Zhu family's intention. You were afraid that Zhu Yingkan would not die if she hung on to her life, so you used a voodoo doll to curse her every day. You also used the medicine to reduce her daily dosage. It was clearly a full bowl of medicine, but you only gave her half a bowl."

Shan Yue felt a feeling of despair and suffocation coming from the west.

"We were so good before!"

He Wuma's face was covered in blood and tears: "You kill people, I hand you the knife, you act, I beat the drum, you want to grab the last chance, I will let you step on my shoulders to climb up. For you, Caijin, for you, I will even, I will, I will even come all the way to the capital to help you clear the obstacles. Su, that sickly Su..."

"Bang!" A loud noise!
A partition door suddenly appeared in the hollow brick wall on the west side!
The door was broken open by someone using internal force!

Broken wood chips and wooden racks were scattered all over the ground!
The people behind the door are standing one in front and one behind.

The former is Xue Xiao, an unfilial bird dressed in black and holding a knife in one hand;

The latter is Xue Changfeng, one of the three highest officials of the dynasty and the Prince's Guardian, who has red eyes, fists clenched in front of his chest, and is beating his chest and stamping his feet.

Zhu's entire body was shaking.

Shan Yue leaned over at the right moment and whispered in his ear: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, there's someone listening - think about it carefully, this house has no windows, since there is a secret door on the east side, then why is there no secret door on the west side?"
