Cheng Wanxin quickly glanced at Yulan beside her and did not show any strange expression.
But Cheng Songan knew that she would be able to tell from the fingerprints on Yulan's face that what she had arranged for her to do had been exposed.
"The person sister arranged must be right." Cheng Wanxin said with a smile, "I just don't know what identity sister wants Yulan to follow brother-in-law?"
Cheng Songan was somewhat impressed by Cheng Wanxin's patience. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "What do you think, second sister?"
Cheng Wanxin had an innocent look on her face. After thinking for a while, she said, "Yulan is my sister's dowry. She has served my sister since she was a child. If she follows her husband to Jiangnan for a year or so without any status, how will she live in the future? It would be better to open her face first and take her into the room to avoid gossip in the future."
Yulan, standing aside, was terrified and didn't dare to look up at anyone in the room.
Cheng Songan smiled nonchalantly and said, "Status? Isn't the status of a head maid enough? Among all my maids who came with my dowry, only Yulan is engaged. If she goes, there will be no gossip."
Cheng Wanxin seemed a little surprised, and her surprise was mixed with some contempt. She glanced at Yulan with a threatening look, and Yulan immediately lowered her head, becoming even more shaky.
Cheng Songan supported his chin with one hand, observed her expression, and asked, "Second sister seems to be very happy for me to find a maid or concubine for my husband."
Cheng Wanxin smiled awkwardly: "Sister, you misunderstood. I am just worried that my brother-in-law is in such a high position now. He has gone to Jiangnan without anyone to serve him. People will inevitably say that you are jealous. Wouldn't that ruin your reputation? And my brother-in-law will also be laughed at in the officialdom."
Cheng Songan sneered, half-closed his eyes to look at her, and said coldly: "Since ancient times, I have only heard that having three wives and four concubines is not a good word, and I have never heard that loyalty is ridiculed!"
"Sima Guang's wife Zhang was infertile and decided to take a concubine for her husband, but Sima Guang firmly refused. Yue Fei and Zhuge Liang, both of whom are famous figures in history, only married one wife in their lifetime. Did they deserve to be ridiculed for their loyalty? Their wives were also virtuous, so who said they were jealous?"
Cheng Wanxin clenched the handkerchief in her hand and forced a smile, "Sister is right. I hope that brother-in-law will always treat you the same way."
"It doesn't matter if your brother-in-law is loyal to me or not, but as long as I'm here, he can't have three wives and four concubines!" Cheng Songan took the lipstick box in his hand and fiddled with it, smiling faintly, "Wanxin, has my sister ever done anything to let you down?"
The moment Cheng Wanxin saw what was in her hand, she showed a trace of panic, and then immediately returned to normal, staring at her with those flawless eyes, and said sincerely: "How could it be? From childhood to adulthood, sister has always been very good to me."
Cheng Songan threw the lipstick box on the table. The box turned around and the opened lid fell to the ground, revealing the bright colors inside.
Cheng Wanxin took it with an innocent smile: "Sister, are you going to give me lip balm? This color is really beautiful."
Cheng Songan looked at her quietly. She seemed to have never understood this sister. She never knew that she could hide her thoughts so deeply and yet behave so innocently and naturally in such a situation.
"Second sister, for the sake of father and the Cheng family, I won't touch you. Just marry to Yangzhou peacefully, and nothing will happen." Cheng Songan said calmly, "But don't forget what my sister's temper was like in the past. If something like this happens again, I can't guarantee what I will do to you!"
Cheng Wanxin turned the things in her hand, indifferent to her words, but chuckled: "How come I don't understand a word of what my sister said?"
Then he turned around to look at Yulan and asked gently, "Yulan, do you understand what I mean?"
Her gentle and kind smile carried an extremely cruel coldness. Yulan shivered and fainted holding her head.
Cheng Wanxin turned around and said to Cheng Songan innocently: "Oh, Yulan fainted."
Cheng Songan ordered Taxue and Qiangwei to take her away and take good care of her. Not only did she not know this sister very well, it was as if she had never known her. Under such a pure, gentle and smart face, she was so hypocritical.
She said calmly, "Forget it if you don't understand. If you are in a hurry to leave, I will send someone to take you back. Jin Ning can stay here for two days."
Cheng Wanxin tapped her cheek with her slender index finger, which was in line with her age. She smiled and said, "In that case, I'll wait for Third Sister."
Cheng Songan looked at her with interest. No matter how thoughtful and cruel this girl was, she was still too young. She couldn't help but wait for Yulan to wake up.
It was not until the courtyard became chaotic that Cheng Wanxin finally revealed a relieved smile.
Haitang frowned and walked to the door and asked, "What's going on? What are you arguing about?"
Taxue walked up to her angrily, glared at Cheng Wanxin fiercely, and whispered: "Yulan committed suicide and is dead."
Haitang was startled and turned to look at Cheng Songan. This was expected, but she didn't expect that she would die so easily.
Cheng Songan stood up and walked out, Taxue hugged her around the waist: "Don't go, girl, it's all blood."
Cheng Wanxin also said, "How could a good person commit suicide? Sister treated her so well, but she didn't even think of the kindness. How can sister deal with it? It's obvious that she is a confused person. Sister, there's no need to visit her. You don't need to be infected with bad luck."
Cheng Songan ignored her, patted Taxue's hand, asked her to let him go, and walked straight to Yulan's residence. He saw a pair of bloody scissors dropped on the ground. The blood from Yulan's neck was all over her body. Qiangwei, who was holding her, shook her head and cried silently. Mudan, who had no idea what was going on, rushed over and cried even more.
When Haitang saw this, her eyes were sore and she couldn't help shedding tears. The four of them grew up together, and even if they blamed her for taking the wrong path, they were still sad to see her die with their own eyes.
Cheng Songan stared at her body, tears dripping down her cheeks, sympathizing with her fellow creatures - when she died in her previous life, she was even more miserable than Yulan. She closed her eyes in pain and said to Haitang, "Handle her funeral properly. She has no family. Check out the fiancé. If he's worth it, then so be it. If not, kill him and bury him with Yulan!"
Haitang was startled and nodded seriously.
When she opened her eyes again, there was no emotion in Cheng Songan's eyes. She turned around and looked at Cheng Wanxin steadily. Her eyes, which were always as gentle as water, became so sharp that people dared not look directly at them. Cheng Wanxin was forced to lower her head.
"What's going on?" Following a gloomy question, Cui Yuanqing stood in the yard with a livid face. He had not yet changed his scarlet official robe, and it was obvious that he was in a hurry to come back.
Cheng Wanxin wiped her tears, her frail body barely able to withstand the blow of the autumn wind, and said in a trembling voice: "My sister's dowry maid was so upset that she committed suicide..."
