Chapter 693: Chapter 684 She’s Going Crazy

From afar, Miss Du could hear the piercing cries of Concubine Du, helpless and despairing.

She thought she would be softened by them, yet to her surprise, she was proven right by that girl Xie Qinyun.

Hearing such sounds, she actually felt a sense of pleasure.

"So you too can cry in utter despair?" Miss Du stood outside the window of the firewood shed, looking in at the concubine inside.

The concubine stopped her wailing and pounding on the door, stunned for a moment, before turning to look at the window.

"Do you say I should take you back?" Miss Du added.

This time Concubine Du heard clearly; she scrambled up and stumbled toward the window.

Hands covered in blood grabbed onto the dusty wooden window, glaring at the person standing outside.

"You... you’ve returned?"

Concubine Du’s gaze was vacant, and she shook her head fearfully as if seeing a demon, screaming wildly, "No, you’ve already left, you can’t come back. I am the lawful wife, I am the mistress of the Jie Family, you cannot return, go away, go away..."

Miss Du said indifferently, "They say you’ve gone mad, and looking at you now, if you’re not mad, you’re certainly not far from it. You can’t even bear this bit of suffering, how can you compare to me?"

"Me... why should I compare with you?" Concubine Du yelled frenziedly: "What right do you have to compare to me? What if you are the legitimate daughter of the Du Family? When father was alive, you were the daughter, but upon his death, you became just like me, nothing but an orphan without parents. Hahaha... But I am different from you, I am the person my husband loved most, I have my husband’s love, what do you have? You have nothing. How can you compare to me? Hahaha... you are just a pitiful worm..."

The concubine’s crazed laughter spread beyond the firewood shed, reaching the servants busy at work in the distance, sending shivers down their spines. They hastened their tasks, eager to finish their work and leave this ominous place as soon as possible.

Miss Du remained calm, "I admit, he used to love you. However... that was merely because you deceived him, he had yet to see your true face."

"What do you mean he hadn’t seen my true face? This is just who I am," Concubine Du asserted loudly: "You don’t know yet, do you? My husband said that if I erred, it was his error as well. We are one as husband and wife, we err together, we bear the consequences together. You remember what I did to you before, don’t you? See, every time it was he who took the blame with me."

"Is that so?" Miss Du scoffed coldly, "Then why did you kill him today?"

"I killed him?" The concubine looked stupefied for a moment, her eyes wide with shock.

"I killed him, I have to kill my husband..." she mumbled dumbly, then suddenly looked up again and yelled at Miss Du outside the window: "What do you mean I killed him? It was a punishment we both shared. He had said long ago that no matter what I did, he would share the consequences with me, so if I cannot live, neither can he. I didn’t kill him; it was suicide! He chose to die with me. Aren’t you upset? Hahaha..."

Miss Du, looking at the crazed Concubine Du in that filthy firewood shed, shook her head and spoke softly,"It seems you really are losing your mind."

Thinking of her deceased parents, Miss Du sighed again and muttered to herself, "Even if you are mad, I still have to bring you to father’s grave to kneel and apologize, to see how many years it’s been since you’ve visited him. Father said before he died that only the two of us sisters were left in the Du Family, that we must depend on each other, support each other, never imagining it would come to this. Magistrate Jie should soon be returning; you had better watch yourself."
