"Jiang Rong, just wait for me -"
Chen Caiwei looked at the Buddha statue in front of her, her eyes full of resentment.
She prayed for blessings at Shuilianzhi for a month, fasted every day, copied Buddhist scriptures by hand, and stayed in seclusion. She was almost tortured to death.
Rumors about her and the eldest son of the Xie family were circulating in the outside world.
A few days ago, several ladies who were offering incense happened to meet her, and their eyes were filled with contempt.
She was so angry that she even copied a few wrong lines from the Buddhist scriptures.
"Jiang Rong, when I return to the North Palace, I will drive you out. Just wait." Chen Caiwei looked ferocious as she fantasized about how to deal with Jiang Rong when she returned.
"Miss Chen, our young master would like to ask you to have a chat in the back mountain." A man's voice came from outside the door:
"My young master knows that you want to deal with Jiang Rong, and he has a plan to discuss with you."
"Who is your young master?" Chen Caiwei's face instantly became wary.
who is he? How did she know she was going to deal with Jiang Rong?
"You'll know when Miss Chen goes there."
……
Chen Caiwei avoided the slaves, fearing that Aunt Zhou would know her plan, and quietly went to the back mountain to keep her appointment.
There is no one in the west. I saw a young man in green clothes standing on the top of an independent mountain.
"Shen Wenyuan?" Chen Caiwei was very surprised and looked at the person in front of her.
Aren't he and Jiang Rong old lovers?
Many plans suddenly emerged in her mind. If she joins forces with Jiang Rong's old lover whom she trusts very much, it seems...
"ah--"
The next moment, Shen Wenyuan pushed her down the cliff without saying a word.
"Drug me, want me to be buried with Jiang Rong, ruin my future, damn it." Shen Wenyuan looked at Chen Caiwei's figure rolling down the cliff, his eyes were cold.
As for joining forces with Chen Caiwei, Shen Wenyuan had never thought about it.
If Chen Caiwei, a fool who was clearly plotted by Jiang Rong, joined forces with her, wouldn't it mean that he would die too slowly?
His father is about to return to Beijing.
Neither Jiang Rong nor Chen Caiwei, these insignificant things can hinder his bright future!
……
Northern Kingdom.
"Old concubine, my cousin is missing! She was copying Buddhist scriptures in the Buddhist hall. When it was time to eat, I went to call my cousin, but found that she was missing. I searched all over the water lotus and couldn't find it!" Zhou Grandma hurried back to her house to report.
Old Concubine Xie's expression suddenly changed, "What's going on? Quickly, call out the guards from the North Palace and send more manpower to search!"
A large number of guards from the North Palace were mobilized, and finally...
Chen Caiwei's body was found at the foot of Shuilianzhi Mountain.
"Old concubine, my cousin is gone..." Grandma Zhou came back with a sad face.
The guards brought back a stretcher covered with a white cloth.
"What?" Old Concubine Xie swayed and almost fainted, "How could this happen, poor child..."
After all, it was a child who was fostered in the palace, whom Yi Yi regarded as his granddaughter. Suddenly something happened, and the old man was very sad.
"Cousin! I don't believe it, cousin..." Xie Ruojiao's eyes darkened when she heard this, and she rushed forward to remove the white cloth, only to see Chen Caiwei's death in a miserable state, with a bloody hole on her forehead.
"cousin……"
Xie Ruojiao burst into tears.
The Beiwang Mansion immediately reported it to the authorities. After inspection, Chen Caiwei was suspected of having slipped and fell off the cliff.
No suspects were found and there were no witnesses.
The case was eventually closed accidentally.
When the Chen family received the news, Mrs. Chen immediately came to the door and cried:
"My poor Caiwei, you are so young, why did you go there... We white-haired people give away black-haired people... How can you let my eldest aunt live like this!"
Her husband is Chen Caiwei's cousin and a general of Xie Jiajun.
Chen Caiwei had been raised in Beiwang Mansion since she was a child and had not even gone back to the Chen family a few times. Mrs. Chen was not familiar with her at all, but now she was crying as if Chen Caiwei was her daughter.
"Madam, let's take the child back first and organize the funeral..." Concubine Zhao comforted:
"We are all very sad when Caiwei had such an accident."
After hearing the bad news, Mrs. Xie was so sad that she fell on the bed to rest. The imperial concubine was away to check the accounts, so the matters in the mansion were left to Concubine Zhao for the time being.
"Caiwei was given to the care of Beiwang's Mansion. She was raised in Beiwang's Mansion. Now she has a child, but she is gone. This is all your responsibility. You must give our Chen family an explanation... We have been loyal to the Prince's Mansion for generations. , loyal and loyal, Caiwei's father just saved the old prince... Is this how you take care of loyal ministers?" Mrs. Chen sobbed, full of complaints.
But she dared to complain.
Because she knew that these things in the capital would not affect the Chen family's children, who were the most trusted generals of the old prince.
It cannot affect their comradeship in northern Xinjiang.
Even if she said something unpleasant, the old concubine would not blame her, but would only provide more benefits and comfort.
Therefore, she can blame Bei Wangfu with confidence.
Only in this way can we be justified and get more money.
"It's true that we didn't take good care of this matter..." Concubine Zhao despised her in her heart, knowing that she was crying for money on purpose.
Anyway, the North Palace is not short of money, and the old concubine also really loves Chen Caiwei.
If she had such an accident, the old concubine would naturally compensate the Chen family well.
"Hey, if Rong Yatou hadn't asked Caiwei to go to Water Lotus to pray for blessings, nothing would have happened to Caiwei. In the final analysis, this matter is to blame for our improper arrangements in the Northern Palace." Concubine Zhao deliberately hinted.
Mrs. Chen really understood and cried in cooperation, "The Crown Princess killed our Caiwei, my poor Caiwei..."
After hearing this, Concubine Zhao was satisfied and went to return to the old concubine Xie.
"Mrs. Chen cried very sadly. She hurt Caiwei with a strange look... Oh, although it was an accident, how could such a thing happen if Caiwei was in Beiwang Mansion... The family members' complaints, we It's understandable..." Concubine Zhao said deliberately:
"We in the Northern Palace have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter!"
Mrs. Xie sighed quietly, "How can you blame Rong'er for this?"
"Old concubine, Mrs. Chen would like to see you." Grandma came to report.
Concubine Zhao was secretly amused. Mrs. Chen was a troublemaker and knew that crying in front of Concubine Xie was most useful...
She was already making plans secretly.
Chen Caiwei died well. This would just make Jiang Rong fall into the criticism of killing her cousin, and because of such an accident in her arrangement, she would not have the face to continue to be the housekeeper, so she would have to hand over her power as a housekeeper.
Jiang Rong lost both fame and fortune, but Chen Caiwei is so damn beautiful!
"Invite her in quickly -" Old Concubine Xie guessed what Mrs. Chen was coming to cry about, but she was very remorseful in her heart, "Give Mrs. Chen a seat."
"Old concubine! Caiwei has been taken care of by Beiwang Mansion for more than ten years. Beiwang Mansion has done its best for her. This child did something wrong and volunteered to pray for blessings and atone for her sins. It was a good thing. I didn't expect such an accident. Please also ask the old concubine not to blame herself. The Northern Palace is not to blame for this matter, let alone the imperial concubine." Mrs. Chen wiped away her tears and said:
"I will come today to take Caiwei back to arrange the funeral."
Concubine Zhao was confused. Isn't that what you just said?
How come you, a money-hungry shrew, suddenly become so reasonable?
This is not normal!
