Chapter 604: Chapter 615: Wisdom in Death

Concubine Du glanced at Gu Youyou, then let out a maniacal laugh at Xie Qinyun and, spotting a pillar, she began to wail loudly, "Third Miss, you wrong me without distinguishing right from wrong, merely because I am a humble concubine with little influence. I cannot defend myself against this injustice, so I can only prove my innocence with death..."

Having said that, she abruptly stood up and, to everyone’s astonishment, threw herself against the nearest pillar.

Today was her lucky day, for Gu Youyou was there, and since Gu Youyou was known as the Divine Doctor, capable of curing infertility that even other doctors could not, she surely would save her life.

She, a doctor, could not stand by and watch someone die...

Nobody expected Concubine Du to employ such a tactic. She had already fallen into the water earlier, a fact witnessed by all. If you speak of a self-inflicted injury to gain sympathy, wasn’t that enough?

Seeing Concubine Du with her head bleeding from the collision, Gu Youyou sighed, thinking how ruthless the woman was.

If she could be this cruel to herself, of course she would be even crueler to others!

Lin Qianqing’s heart skipped a beat, uneasily looking towards Xie Qinyun and whispered, "With her doing this, she’s trying to shut you up. Soon these maids and old women will probably say you drove her to hit the pillar. Won’t your father directly drive you out? Where would you then have the chance to speak?"

"This despicable woman!" Xie Qinyun clenched her teeth in anger.

Concubine Du, barely alive, was being held by her maid, and the room was overwhelmed with crying.

"Doctor Gu, please save our lady quickly. If the young mistress is gone, and our lady suffers any mishap, how will we explain to the late master of the Du Family?"

Gu Youyou seemed taken aback that Concubine Du would suddenly pull the rug out from under her, but reluctantly stood up to check her injuries.

Xie Qinyun snorted, "Doctor Gu, why save her? It’s better if that despicable woman dies."

Xie Qinyun had not expected that despicable woman to outmaneuver her and was so angry she gasped for breath.

Gu Youyou said, "If she dies, how can the play go on?"

If Miss Du had really died, then it would be a different story; she certainly would not save Concubine Du. However, as Miss Du was still alive, if Concubine Du died, it would be hard to justify and both Miss Du and Miss Xie would bear the infamy of causing the death of Concubine Du.

In this era, women valued their reputations above all, and being entrapped by someone like Concubine Du before her death was truly not worth it.

Especially since Xie Qinyun was not yet married; she could not be duped by her.

Lin Qianqing pulled the furious Xie Qinyun aside, allowing Gu Youyou to quietly save the woman.

"We can deal with a person like her later, but now is not the time. Qinyun, alas, you are really unlucky."

"This damned despicable woman!" Xie Qinyun was so angry she didn’t even know what else to say, continuing to curse that Du Wanqing was a troublemaker, causing mischief wherever she went.

Lin Qianqing laughed quietly, pulled Xie Qinyun aside, and whispered something in her ear.

After hearing this, Qinyun’s anger turned to pleasure.

She nodded meaningfully and glanced at the half-dead Concubine Du, scoffing, "This despicable person did the same to my second sister-in-law back then."

"When women quarrel, it’s all about who speaks first and loudest, right and wrong often have little to do with the truth; it’s about who takes the initiative." This profound theory, drawn from watching her mother deal with her father’s concubines, never failed.

That’s why although those concubines were in the right, when it came to her mother, she was the one who called the shots.

This is the principle of ’first impressions are lasting ones.’"
