Chapter Forty-Three: Clearly Revealed (4)

The eldest lady was getting more and more broken and unable to answer when facing the servants in the yard. She didn't say a word except for crying regret.

The housekeeper knelt down in front of Long Xingtu, kowtowed heavily, and said sadly, "Master Long, your eyes are like a torch, we dare not hide it anymore, but the little people knelt down and begged Master Long, can you send someone out and retain a dignity for the eldest lady?"

The eyes of the Dragon Star Map fell on the eldest lady's face, and her mood was extremely complicated. She thought that tearing open the fog was the truth, but who could know that behind the truth, there was another hypocritical mask hidden?

The sleeve was pulled by someone, she turned her head and met Zhong Chu's hinting eyes. She leaned her lips helplessly, "Okay, listen to you."

Zhong Chu immediately showed his eyes, "Butler, our Master Long agrees!"

"Xiaomin thanked Master Long and Miss Zhong." The housekeeper was so stubborn that he stood up and ordered his subordinates to return to their rooms.

But Zhong Chu quickly felt something was wrong, as if someone was staring at her! She suddenly looked sideways and actually bumped into Li Erye’s eyes. She asked with a blunt heart: “Who are you? Why are you secretly looking at me? Did you watch me casually?”

She has been staying in Li's house these days. She knew nothing about what happened in the yamen. She just saw that Long Xingtu had an extra strange man, but she didn't have time to ask. This was the opportunity.

Mr. Li smiled, "I am worthy of being from the same school, they are all the same boldness!"

Zhong Chu put his hands on his hips, smiling but not smiling. Unfortunately, Long Xingtu knew her too much, so he stopped her before she attacked, "Achu, this is Master Li, and he is a friend of Lord Du, you should not be arrogant."

Zhong Chu pouted his mouth and said coquettishly, "I don't care who you are. Anyway, for the sake of Star Map, I'll let you go for the time being!"

"A Chu!" Long Xingtu frowned and his tone was slightly deeper, "The case is important!"

Zhong Chu shrank his neck and dared not act rashly anymore.

Mr. Li pursed his lips and chuckled, but many suspicions arose in his heart.

The Dragon Star Map is Zhong Wushan's apprentice, and Zhongli and Zhong Chu are Zhong Wushan's biological children. But why is the status of the Dragon Star Map obviously above the Zhong brothers and sisters?

Long Xingtu walked to the eldest lady and recalled the scene of the meeting in the Buddhist temple that day. She sighed secretly, and helped the abominable but undesirable woman with one hand and said, "Madam, can you help me now? I'll be lucky enough to be the only time. The net of heaven will be vast and will eventually be sparse."

"Yes, Master Long is right. I shouldn't be lucky. I shouldn't be smart. I shouldn't be smart, but I'm hurting others and harming me!" The eldest lady took a deep breath, as if this would be the only way to support herself to face it. She said: "Li Fushan met me at a young age. I have always understood his feelings for me. Even if people's hearts are fickle, they will never change suddenly without any reason. Besides, if a man is really flirting with the old, how could he treat his original wife as usual? I hated Li Fushan's concubine at the beginning. I thought it was the vixen outside who seduced Li Fushan, but gradually, I found more and more suspicious things. In addition to the matter between husband and wife in the boudoir, Li Fushan was very cold with his concubine on weekdays, and he didn't even want to meet each other, and he didn't have any flirting or affectionate behavior."

"So, I asked the butler to interrogate carefully, but he refused to say it, only told me that the person Li Fushan cared about the most was always me. I was angry and sad, and I didn't understand why all this was! So I became vengeful. No matter whether Li Fushan was ruthless to his concubines, it was a fact that he had given them many children, and it was also a fact that he had not had sex with me for many years. Why should I endure the shame he gave me? So, I... I lured the butler and secretly crossed Chen Cang."

"Later, the second wife took the third wife and fourth wife to the East Courtyard and asked me to take charge of them. I even more determined that there was a hidden truth here, because when I was married to Li Fushan, he was definitely not the kind of beast. But when I asked him to question him, he insisted that he was torturing his concubines. I was extremely desperate, and since then I ate vegetarianism and chanted Buddha's name and lived in simplicity. Until a year ago, I accidentally met an old man in the vegetable garden. Although he was hunchbacked and old, I recognized his eyes. He was not an ordinary janitor, and he was the unknown Li Fuhai! This amazing discovery was like a slap in the face, which not only woke me up, but also made me understand that Li Fushan had difficulties. His indifference to me may be the condition for Li Fuhai to revenge!"

"In this case, the housekeeper forced me to tell me the secret of Li Fushan taking a concubine and having a child, and the embarrassment that he could no longer be a husband and wife with me. I regret it, I regret that I should not betray Li Fushan, and I also hate Li Fuhai's cruelty. It was him who made us couples close at hand, but they were reluctant to separate. I cannot continue to indulge this demon's existence. No matter how much hatred they have between their brothers, the three concubines are innocent. They will be tortured to death by Li Fuhai one day, and I also want to return to Li Fushan."

"So, I broke off the relationship with the housekeeper and returned to the position of the master and servant. The housekeeper agreed to help me, so we planned to let Li Fushan get rid of the concubine one by one from the second wife, so that they can not only ensure their personal safety, but also no longer be between us and our wife. The strange bronze mirror was bought by the housekeeper from the Western Regions merchants. It was not originally this bronze mirror. In order to avoid being suspected, the housekeeper ordered the bronze mirror from Yongchangfang and dismantled and replaced the mirror by himself. The second wife was a very delicate person. I only reminded her that during the day, he became a demon at night, and was it really the same person inside and outside the mirror? The second wife became more careful. She asked Li Fushan a few questions in the daytime and asked again at night. Of course, the answer could not be exactly the same. So she put a sweat medicine in the wine and impregnated Li Fuhai who was in the same bed with her, and then discovered the secret!"

"I took the opportunity to report to the official to the court, in order to force Li Fushan to tell the truth, but Li Fushan neither retired nor admitted it. I was planning again how to drive Li Fuhai away and end this dirty tragedy on the surface. But who would have thought that Li Fuhai suddenly killed someone to silence..."

The eldest lady said this in one breath, and she was already sweating profusely and her mouth was dry. She looked at the butler, "You can continue to solve the doubts for Miss Zhong."
