The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1707 Lu Si Niang Goes to Ge Mansion to Rescue Chun'er

Half an hour later, Da Yan ran back, holding a note in his hand. Cheng Feng opened it and saw four lines of small characters: "A ruyi-shaped night-blooming jasmine, two mandarin ducks playing in the center. Enjoy the moment while you can, for how long is a spring night!"

The signature is Ge Dongqing.

After reading the letter, Cheng Feng couldn't help but laugh. His big eyes were filled with curiosity as to what was written on it that made the young master so happy. He mustered his courage and asked, "What does it say?"

"You can't read many characters, so even if I showed it to you, you wouldn't understand what it means."

Big Eyes fell silent upon hearing this, but Yu Hua said, "I know quite a few characters, let me see!"

After looking at it for a while, Yu Hua suddenly realized something. She exclaimed, "My goodness! This is all vulgar language! Cheng Feng, did you give Ge Dongqing a ruyi or mandarin ducks?"

Cheng Feng said, "There's a pair of mandarin ducks on the Ruyi scepter. They're taking a concubine, so the gift I'm giving should at least be festive and appropriate!"

Yu Hua handed the letter to Shang Xi: "Shang Xi, take a look. What is Lord Ge trying to express?"

Shang Xi felt nauseous after just one glance. This Ge Dongqing was really something. "Uncle Ge, is he just saying that the spring night is too short and we should enjoy ourselves while we can?"

"Bah! Shameless!"

Ever since Ge Dongqing kicked Lu Siniang out of the house, he has let himself go and married four concubines in one go, making countless men envious.

In reality, Ge Dongqing's life was only outwardly glamorous; his household was a complete mess, and none of his concubines were easy to deal with.

Less than three months later, trouble broke out at the Ge family mansion. When the maid Lian'er couldn't find Ge Dongqing, she ran to Baoxiang Escort Agency to find Lu Si Niang.

When Lu Si Niang saw Chun'er, the man's hands were trembling, his teeth were chattering, and tears were streaming down his face. He immediately knelt down at Lu Si Niang's feet, crying, "Madam, please save Chun'er! She's dying!"

Lian'er and Chun'er were Lu Si Niang's two most capable maids in the Ge household. After leaving the Ge household, they rarely had the chance to meet. Today's meeting, however, was to plead for help, catching Si Niang completely off guard. She asked Lian'er, "Explain yourself clearly, what happened to Chun'er?"

“Madam, ever since you were kicked out of the house, your concubine Fuliu has been making things difficult for me and Chun’er. Today, Chun’er talked back to her, and she had someone put Chun’er in a pig cage and wanted to drown her in the lake.”

"Does your master not care about the lives of his servants and just watch her cause trouble? Throwing someone into a pig cage is an extremely cruel form of private punishment. Chun'er has committed a grave offense against Fuliu!"

Lian'er said, "Fuliu saw the master and Chun'er flirting and laughing, and insisted that Chun'er was having an affair with the master."

This is quite unusual. When Lu Si Niang was at the Ge residence, Chun'er was completely loyal to her and looked down on Ge Dongqing in the slightest. Now that she's being said to be flirting with Ge Dongqing, it's practically a done deal. Chun'er is much more cunning than Lian'er. Lian'er is foolish enough to keep badmouthing Ge Dongqing behind his back, but Chun'er is different. She knows how to assess situations and plans for her future.

Several servants did not want to marry their masters who were high-ranking officials, and Chun'er was no exception. However, the price she paid was quite high, and it seemed she might lose her life.

Ge Dongqing married four concubines in one go, but he didn't give Chun'er a proper title. Although Chun'er was a maid, she was proud! How could Chun'er bear such unfair treatment? Moreover, none of the concubines Ge Dongqing married were from respectable families; they were all from brothels and of low social status. Chun'er naturally couldn't accept being inferior to them.

Lu Si Niang said, "This is a private matter of the Ge family. Ge Dongqing is bullying his own people. You should ask him to save Chun'er. I am no longer a member of the Ge family, so I have no right to go to the Ge family to stand up for Chun'er."

Lian'er knelt on the ground, clutching Lu Si Niang's skirt and refusing to let go. "Madam, the master may have gone off to drink and carouse somewhere. If you sit idly by, Chun'er will die. That Fu Liu is vicious and cruel. She beats and scolds Chun'er and me. She never treats us like human beings."

Lian'er, the little maid, used to be so pretty and lively, but now she looks pale and is pitifully thin.

Lu Si Niang was not one to stand idly by and watch someone die. "Lead the way! This is a matter of life and death. I'll go with you!"

"Hey!" Lian'er hurriedly got up from the ground, sniffed, and casually wiped away her tears. "Madam, we have to hurry."

For Chun'er's life, Lu Si Niang hurried to the Ge residence.

Upon arriving at the Ge residence, Lian'er jogged ahead to lead the way for Lu Si Niang, saying, "Si Niang, they are all by the lake."

Returning to the same place, Lu Si Niang felt no ripples in her heart. Her thoughts were all on the lake. Looking at the rope floating on the lake, Lu Si Niang had an ominous premonition.

Lu Si Niang shouted, "Stop it, all of you!"

"How did you get in here!" Fu Liu glared at Lu Si Niang, her eyes full of mockery. "Lu Si Niang, do you think you're in charge here? The Ge family is now my domain, Fu Liu's domain. I am the mistress of this place."

"Stop talking nonsense and release Chun'er right now."

Fu Liu looked gloating. "You're probably too late. Chun'er is probably already... Hahahaha... How satisfying! Lu Si Niang, this is what happens when you go against me! If you don't want to offend me, Fu Liu, then obediently get out of the Ge mansion. I'm an official's wife, and you're just a biaotou's wife. It's easier for me to kill you than to crush an ant. You can't do anything to me anymore, Fu Liu. Hahahaha, hahahaha, how satisfying!"

With Chun'er's life hanging by a thread, Lu Si Niang had no time to waste words with her. She ordered the servants of the Ge family, "You guys, get her out of there right now."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Upon seeing Lu Si Niang, the group of servants who usually let Fu Liu do as she pleased panicked and hurriedly pulled the pig cage that had sunk to the bottom of the water out of the water.

Confined in the damp pig cage was Chun'er's frail figure. Looking at Chun'er's tightly closed eyes, pale face, and swollen belly, Lu Si Niang knew there was no hope of saving her. Undeterred, she placed her hand on Chun'er's neck; her pulse had already stopped beating. This filled Lu Si Niang with grief and indignation, and she was consumed by rage.

Lian'er screamed incessantly, shaking Chun'er, "Chun'er, Chun'er, wake up! I've brought the Madam here, she can stand up for us... Open your eyes..."

Lian'er sobbed uncontrollably and collapsed to the ground.

The concubines, led by Fuliu, all appeared calm and composed. They were all quite young, and they showed no pity or sympathy for Chun'er's tragic death, nor even a trace of fear. Instead, Lu Si Niang saw smugness and sinister intent on their faces.
