Chapter 609: Chapter 620: Concubine Du’s Argument

Someone had already died, and if another were to die, how would he face his friends from the past in the underworld after death...

It was all that beast’s fault.

With these thoughts, Mr. Jie glared angrily with bloodshot eyes, shifting his man-eating gaze from Concubine Du to Jie Er Gongzi.

Concubine Du lay prostrate on the ground, slowly raising her head to look at Mr. Jie. Seeing his dispirited appearance and realizing he had no intention of helping her up, her heart grew cold.

How could this be? In such a situation, wasn’t he always on her side?

She glanced at the person lying on the bed, her heart skipping a beat.

Could it be because she was about to die?

Ha, fine, since she was going to die, why should she bother with a dead person?

Concubine Du wiped her tears and began to speak softly.

"It was like this: today, as usual, I brought elder sister’s favorite snacks to see her, and we talked about father and... about her soon leaving the Jie Residence. She said she was leaving and planned to take the letters our father left us when he died. Those letters were placed in a box by elder sister and me when we first entered the residence and buried under the willow tree next to Lotus Pond Waterside Pavilion. Later, we took a spade and dug up the box under the willow tree.

But the ground by the pond was slippery, and elder sister had been squatting for too long while digging for the box, felt dizzy, and then... she accidentally fell into the lotus pond..."

"Then how did you fall in?" The person who brought the news clearly said that both of you fell in.

Concubine Du’s tears went from a drizzle to a downpour as she continued, "When I saw elder sister fall in, and no one was on the shore to help at that moment, I hastily went down to save her. The situation was desperate, and I forgot... that I couldn’t swim..."

Xie Qinyun said coldly, "Forgot that you couldn’t swim? So you jumped in, causing all the servants who went into the water to save someone to focus on you. They saved you first, which delayed the rescue of my second sister-in-law at the critical moment?"

"I didn’t mean for this to happen, sob sob..." Concubine Du cried with a look of terror and deep sorrow.

Xie Qinyun sneered, "I think you didn’t intend to save her at all. You deliberately jumped into the water to harm her. Who knows? Maybe second sister-in-law falling into the water wasn’t an accident. It was intentionally done by you, wasn’t it, Concubine Du?"

"I didn’t!" Concubine Du shook her head continuously, crying out loud, "Third Miss, why are you framing me? I never intended to harm my elder sister..."

After finishing, she crawled over to grab the hem of Jie Er Gongzi’s robe, crying piteously with tear-streaked cheeks, "Husband, you know what kind of person I am. How could I harm my elder sister? You know, ever since I fell into the water a few years ago, I’ve been very scared of it. If it weren’t for my nervousness about elder sister, how could I possibly jump in?"

Jie Er Gongzi, snapping out of his daze, saw the woman crying her eyes out, tremblingly raised his hand, and wiped away her tears, "I believe you, this is just an accident!"

The onlooking crowd felt like they were watching a melodrama.

Gu Youyou sat in front of the bed and began to administer acupuncture on the arm of Miss Du.

What’s the use of expecting decency from such despicable people? Should she expect him to bring her justice?

With death approaching, what was there to fear?

Meanwhile, Xie Qinyun had no intention of letting Concubine Du off the hook, saying, "That’s your story, but just now, I asked my second sister-in-law’s maid, and it wasn’t as you described."

She gave Cuiya a meaningful look. Once given permission by her mistress to speak, Cuiya immediately knelt down.
