Chapter 380.3: Chain of Scapegoats, Father Kneeling Son
Inside the room, the rough labor servant girl turned into the servant girl that has already disguised herself into Yao Rao, even getting tied up and her firmly mouth stuffed.
Perhaps because her fate was already determined, ‘Yao Rao’ was instead rather calm. Staring at her own face, she coldly laughed inside. See, a naive moron, really thought that you’d gratuitously obtained master’s fondness, yet unknowingly, you’re just a scapegoat for master in case something happens. In essence, more or less the same as an animal.
And she herself was also nothing more than an idiot, a powerless idiot that couldn’t resist at all.
As for the other two servant girls, the two martial artists by Yao Rao’s side, at this time, one stayed behind, while the other went to look for Yao Rao.
Yao Rao right now although had the rough labor servant girl’s face, it still wasn’t completely safe, because once ‘Concubine Rao’ dies, this identity will lose its backing. Having obtained that many good things in the past, she will certain get targeted afterwards. That’s why, Yao Rao must change her identity again. As for whether or not she’ll leave Kang Qinwang Manor, it’ll just depend on the situation afterwards. Changing her identity again, for Yao Rao, wasn’t anything difficult either. The so called body double, when there’s ‘one’, there’s two, and naturally there will also be three. Even the body double needed body doubles. For this third one, it was just the kind that completely didn’t attract attention. After killing them, have them changed into the rough labor servant girl, setting it up as someone having gotten provoked by greed, killing the rough labor servant girl for the riches. Then, she can just take over the third one’s identity. Everything was all perfect.
The ‘rough labor servant girl’ had just stored away her chest and came out, when a party of people hastily entered from outside. Li Hong Yi was also among them.
The ‘rough labor servant girl’ moved to a relatively distant area, deferentially crouching down in a bow, even appearing somewhat fearful and timid. Once the party entered the main building, she finally got up slowly. Her head was lowered the whole time, completely unable to see the emotions in her eyes. A moment later, she finally lifted her head, and afterwards, met eyes with one of her servant girls that knew martial arts, seamlessly nodding. While this side was in disorder, they can go carry out the final identity change.
‘Concubine Rao’ got beaten to death in front of Kang Qinwang’s face. No matter how she cried and begged for mercy, Kang Qinwang was all indifferent, blankly watching her get beaten into tatters, the fresh blood directly overflowing. At last, her breathing stopped, her eyes violently protruding outwards, containing endless resentment as she died. And that ‘servant girl that blocked the side consort’s person’ had woken up from the pain, completely not knowing what was going on and just got beaten to death alive, truly dying with grievance.
Li Hong Yi from beginning to end never discovered that Yao Rao was fake. In reality, wanting to distinguish real or fake was very easy, just need to lift the sleeves. After all, he and Yao Rao had just fooled around not long ago, so the marks on the body were very obvious. However, who would’ve thought that the person just changed in this short of time. And Li Hong Yi just wanted to let Yao Rao die sooner, so as to quickly lighten his own blame.
He never once considered that Yao Rao, in this half a year’s time, had helped him a lot, and not long ago, even stirring the red waves, such heartlessness, never once lamenting in the slightest.
Selfish and self-serving, fickle and cold. He perhaps even thought himself to be resolute and unwavering, and that those in power should just be like so.
Just, before the ground could be cleaned up, Le Cheng Emperor’s personal attendant just got brought over by the servants. Seeing that unsightly corpse, then seeing the people from the Empress’s palace being ‘deferential’ towards him carrying a smile on their face, the inner court attendant coldly sneered inside, sure acted quick.
And then looking to Kang Qinwang, who had a sorrowful look, continuously saying that it was all his fault, he shouldn’t have hit the child, it was that lowly slave clinging on to him and not letting go, to the extent that he was unable to learn his son’s condition in time, it was his fault, all his fault, it was him that was sorry to his child, sorry to his deceased wangfei, sorry to imperial father and imperial mother…………………..
It can be said to be painfully shedding tears. Unfortunately, Le Cheng Emperor’s people just calmly watched the play, and for a time, making Kang Qinwang unable to continue acting.
All the way until the end, Le Cheng Emperor’s personal attendant finally passed on the imperial decree.
Not at all surprisingly, Kang Qinwang’s face twisted, but this was his old man’s words. No matter who he got angry at, he still didn’t dare to get angry at his old man. Even if disobeying the Empress, he still couldn’t possibly disobey Le Cheng Emperor. He kicked towards “Yao Rao’s” corpse, all this slut’s fault! Just beating her to death like this really too cheap for her.
On the other side, the plan for knocking someone out with a drug was completed in the fastest speed. Although the time it takes to ‘make’ the mask wasn’t long, they weren’t able to obtain immediately either.
While the people carrying out the task waited for the mask to generate, the ‘rough labor servant girl’ came out to be on ‘lookout’, being rather open, even expressing to everyone her own fear, as well as the dread of losing her backing.
For anyone that saw her, their original fear towards this bloody scene instantly turned into malicious intent. Concubine Rao had given this girl many good things, from precious treasures and fine silk, to rouge and powder. Even that outrageously expensive type of thing from Rouge Pavilion have all been given to her before.
A rough labor servant girl was actually even able to separately live in a room alone, this treatment wasn’t at all inferior to the first rank servant girls, so how would the others not be jealous. It’s not that no one suspected before. Since Concubine Rao cared about her this much, why not directly have her promoted up, instead of letting her from beginning to end stay a rough labor servant girl. However, all the doubts, when facing those riches, all got tossed beyond the clouds
After Yao Rao finished acting, she estimated that it was more or less about time, and just hastily left. However, there was that one servant woman that just followed after her.
Calmly tearing down the mask on her face, and after merely turning a corner, she just switched masks, turning towards another direction.
The person that followed after looked around, confirming the target’s direction, but at the next corner, someone just pounced forward. That person just felt everything go dark before their eyes, wanting to back away in fright, yet in the next moment, just felt something was amiss. The shinning tip of the blade directly pointed towards the abdomen. Humans, when facing a threat to their life, usually can break out the most terrifying potential. Without a doubt, that ‘rough labor servant girl’ that had been drugged far wasn’t that servant woman’s opponent, and afterwards, just collapsed in a pool of blood.
And the servant woman that had just killed someone, before they could return to their senses, they just heard a scream next to them, immediately just attracting even more people’s attention. It was already too late to cover up.
The person that screamed although wasn’t Yao Rao using someone else’s face, that person however was drawn over by Yao Rao.
It can be said that to the end, Yao Rao still screwed over Kang Qinwang. After all, right now, there was still a pile of matters to deal with in Kang Qinwang Manor, to then have another incident of a servant being self-interested, selling their soul for wealth, and the servant girl that just lost power getting targeted by others, afterwards inhumanely murdered………To put it lightly, it was not being strict in governing, but to put it severely, it was just ‘to not sweep one’s home, how can one sweep the world’. All in all, it was just adding to the offense.
A servant that got beaten to death by the masters versus a servant that got murdered by another servant, both similarly dead, but this meaning was completely different. The former, no one would have anything to say, dying was just dying, but the latter, if someone were to insist on looking into, it can even alarm the Magistrate Office of the Capital.
