The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1708 Who is the murderer?

Lu Si Niang saw through their thoughts; they thought Chun'er died a good death, a death that served its purpose. It seemed that the rumors about Chun'er and Ge Dongqing's ambiguous relationship were not unfounded.

Fuliu is the head of the concubines in this household. Because she entered the household earlier than the others, she used her power as the head of the household to stir up trouble and make a scene. Now she no longer finds it exciting to torture and abuse the servants; she has even started to kill people openly.

What a beast in human form!

As always, Lu Si Niang remained calm. She said to Lian'er, "The person is already dead. Now is not the time to cry. Someone, go and find Ge Dongqing."

"Yes!" A group of servants rushed off to find the person.

The concubines who had recently entered the household didn't recognize Lu Si Niang at all. They asked Fu Liu, "Who is this person? Why is she giving orders in our household like this?"

Fu Liu said with a contemptuous tone, "This person is Lu Siniang, Ge Dongqing's ex-wife who was kicked out of the house!"

"Ah? It really is her!" The second concubine took a step back. She had heard of Lu Si Niang's reputation; she was a ruthless woman.

All those horrifying rumors about Lu Siniang were completely unfounded. Almost all of those fabricated stories were made up by Fu Liu out of thin air for Lu Siniang. To put it bluntly, it was Fu Liu who spread rumors about Lu Siniang, which then escalated and became more and more rampant in the streets.

Lu Si Niang glanced coldly at Ge Dongqing's concubines and asked in a cold voice, "Which of you was involved in this murder?"

Only a fool would admit to this. The concubines all kept quiet, but Fu Liu said arrogantly, "We all got involved. What can you do to me? You, Lu Si Niang, may control everything, but do you think you can interfere in my Ge family's affairs?"

"You incorrigible servant, you're facing imminent disaster and you still don't know what's good for you." Lu Si Niang looked at her as if she were a dead person.

"I am a concubine in this household. What can I do if I execute a lowly servant?" Fu Liu's tone showed no regard for the servants in the household. Those servants who had served Lu Si Niang in the past had suffered a lot of abuse at Fu Liu's hands.

"Even now you still can't see the truth? You concubines are no different from servants. You arrogant dog relying on your master's power, no one can protect you today!"

"You, a discarded woman who has been kicked out of the house, dare to point fingers at me! Guards, throw Lu Siniang out of the Ge residence!"

Lian'er stood in front of Lu Si Niang, "Let's see who dares to touch my lady. You murderers, none of you will escape today. Every single one of you will pay a heavy price for Chun'er's death."

Lu Si Niang didn't take the people in front of her seriously at all. Apart from having some dirty and vicious methods, these people were not worth much.

The servants searched the entire capital and finally found Ge Dongqing at Jiaomanlou. Ge Dongqing was singing loudly with Fuliu's former sisters. When he heard that Lu Siniang was waiting for him at the mansion, he was startled, put down his wine cup, and went home.

With a solemn expression, Lu Si Niang sat upright in the pavilion by the lake. A golden bell hanging from one of the pavilion's upturned eaves swayed in the spring breeze, its clear and melodious sound echoing around everyone inside the pavilion, as well as around Chun'er lying on the ground. That melodious sound instantly turned into a death knell.

Ge Dongqing panicked, "This... Chun'er, what is this...?"

This person is obviously dead. Who can stand still and not move at all? Even the flies could smell the scent of death. At this moment, a swarm of flies surrounded Chun'er, and Lian'er couldn't shoo them away.

Ge Dongqing looked at Lu Siniang, whose expression was cold and restrained, and asked, "Siniang, what's going on?"

Lu Si Niang said, "Ge Dongqing, this is originally your family matter. A murder occurred in your mansion, and Lian'er couldn't find you, so she came to me. Chun'er worked under me for four or five years. Even if she didn't make any great contributions, she certainly worked hard. It's a pity that I, Lu Si Niang, am too late."

"Who did this to him?"

"Who else could it be? All of your concubines are murderers."

"What?!" Ge Dongqing nearly collapsed to the ground. The women who were with him every day dared to kill someone? He couldn't believe it. "They're all weak women, how could they dare to kill someone?"

Lian'er cried, "It was those girls who did it. They are beasts in human form, each and every one of them is a vicious woman. They stuffed Chun'er into a pig cage and let the lake water submerge her, drowning her alive."

The lake was submerged, so Chun'er must have died a terrible death. Ge Dongqing couldn't accept reality for a while. Just yesterday, he was flirting with Chun'er. He had only been out of the manor for half a day, and Chun'er had become a corpse. "Who did this? So vicious."

Lian'er felt her heart breaking at the thought of Chun'er's death. She hated Ge Dongqing's concubines, but she hated Ge Dongqing even more. "Master, you're an accomplice too! You took Chun'er for yourself, but you didn't give her any status. You just let your concubines bully her like that. Now look what's happened, Chun'er is dead. You must be happy now!"

What was Ge Dongqing so happy about? At this moment, he was overwhelmed with troubles, and when he met Lu Siniang's merciless eyes, he was filled with shame and lost his composure. "Someone, go and invite the concubines!"

"Yes!"

The servants hurriedly ran off to find someone.

Before long, the four concubines, each with their own ulterior motives, arrived, exuding charm. Fu Liu even joked with Ge Dongqing, "Where has Master gone off to steal some sweet moments? He's left us sisters all alone at home."

Ge Dongqing pointed at Chun'er's corpse on the ground, and flew into a rage. He demanded, "Give me an explanation!"

“Master, Chun’er doesn’t respect us masters at all; she’s talking back to me.”

“You can punish her for talking back, but who came up with such a cruel punishment as drowning her in a pig cage?”

"It's the second concubine."

Seeing Ge Dongqing's angry expression, the second concubine quickly said, "It was the third concubine's idea, it has nothing to do with me."

The third concubine was the youngest, but she was quite shrewd. Sensing something was amiss, she said, "It's the fourth concubine."

Fourth Concubine wasn't stupid either; she wanted to distance herself from the matter. "It wasn't me. It was First Concubine's maid, Chan'er, who told me to come and see a good show. I went to the lakeside, but who knew I'd be watching a pig being thrown into a cage! It really scared me to death."

Seeing everyone passing the buck and then pushing it back to her, Fuliu was not afraid at all. Instead, she scolded the concubines present, "You were the ones who cheered and applauded the commotion, weren't you? Now that the master is questioning us, you're all blaming me."

Ge Dongqing had already understood. "It seems that you all participated in the murder!"

Fu Liu said, "Master, a servant's death is nothing! Why get so upset!"

"This is a human life!"

“Master, she’s just a lowly maid, a worthless servant. Her life is worthless. People like Chun’er can be found everywhere with a little money.”

Not only that, Fu Liu also stepped on Chun'er's hand as if by accident.
