Gu Yingshao seems to truly love Su Jinshu. Despite such a big incident, he still used his connections to help her get out of trouble.
When I discovered some unknown powder in the tea I drink daily, I knew it was Su Jinshu's retaliation.
Ha... despicable means!
"Xiuer!"
The courtyard was empty, even Xiuer, who never leaves my side, was not in the yard.
Interesting!
I pretended to drink the tea, then fainted on the nearby soft couch.
After a while, just when I thought I had misjudged, the door was gently pushed open. Then heavy footsteps approached.
The footsteps were chaotic, indicating it wasn't a habitual offender. With his movements, the room was filled with the smell of sweat and night fragrance, likely a rough laborer.
"I never expected that one day I, Zhang San, would enjoy the company of such a high-born young lady. Hehe..."
A rough hand touched my shoulder, foul breath hitting my face, making it hard to pretend.
As I opened my phoenix eyes, the dagger I held was at Zhang San's throat: "Such audacity, selling out your master for glory!"
Zhang San was the lowest servant in the mansion, responsible for pouring night fragrance every day.
Su Jinshu sent such a person here purely to ruin me and disgust me.
"How... how are you still strong? You didn't drink that medicine?"
Zhang San panicked, but he wasn't afraid: "Hehe, it's better I didn't take it. It'll be more enjoyable when we get started later."
He thought I was a weak woman, trying to use the disparity in strength between men and women to snatch the dagger from my hand, even caressing my hand.
But as he struggled in vain to pry open my hand holding the dagger, getting closer to his throat, fear crept in.
He knelt down, begging continuously: "Miss, I made a mistake in the moment, spare me. I have a family to support! Please! Please! I was also forced!"
I kicked him in the face, feeling relieved as I saw blood all over him.
My maternal family is the General's Mansion, am I a helpless weak woman? Dealing with such a man alone is no problem.
Zhang San's eyes darted around, still pleading, but he didn't reveal who ordered him, remaining loyal.
As I spoke, a shadow floated down from the ceiling.
Good, isn't this solid evidence now?
I've never used this method on the several transmigrated women I dealt with before.
Ruining someone's innocence is what I despise the most. Women in the world face many hardships, and the importance of a good reputation to a woman from a prestigious family like us is unparalleled.
With so many resources invested in you by the family, it's not for you to compete and scheme against another woman, but to create value! To create greater value for the family, so it can continue, even if the country falls, the family won't collapse!
But all this is predicated on you having a good reputation. If that is tarnished, it's not just you who suffers, but all the women in the family!
Whether you're coerced or willing, a kind family will send you to practice in the mountains. In harsh families, you'll only get a cup of poison or a white silk cloth. After death, you'll be disowned by the family, becoming a lonely ghost!
There are countless ways to seek revenge, she chose the most despicable one, so don't blame me for repaying her a thousandfold.
