After entering Mingchun Pavilion, the first person Xiao Xiao saw was Bai Yu. 1357924?
Bai Yu had a handsome face and the way she lifted the corners of her lips was even more charming. But, when she looked at Jiujiu, her gaze was extremely gentle.
Extremely gentle.
That's right, Jiujiu, who was supposed to die after eating that bowl of porridge, was actually lying in Bai Yu's arms perfectly fine. The corners of her mouth were raised into a mocking smile and the way she looked at Xiao Xiao was full of undisguised ridicule.
"What are you looking at, Auntie Xiao? Do you think I'm bad?" Jiujiu asked Xiao Xiao.
Hearing Jiujiu's words, Xiao Xiao immediately waved her hands in denial, "No, no, of course I want you to live a happy life and be healthy. How could I possibly think badly of you?"
"Really?" Jiujiu smiled faintly and lowered her head to look at the bowl of porridge in front of her. She pushed it forward and said, "I don't have a good appetite today. Since Concubine Xiao is here, this bowl of red bean porridge is for you. Eat it."
Looking at the bowl of porridge that she had carefully cooked, carefully scooped out, and saw with her own eyes that the maidservant had given Jiujiu appear in front of her intact, Xiao Xiao's eyes instantly constricted, and the corners of her mouth trembled. After a moment, she said, "This is cooked for you, Madam. How can I use it?"
Jiujiu smiled, "My appetite hasn't been good recently. I wanted to eat earlier, but now I don't want to eat anymore. But, it's not good to waste food, so I might as well give it to you."
After Jiujiu spoke, she gestured for the maid to bring the bowl of porridge to Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao looked at the bowl of porridge that she had cooked. The color was rosy and the rice grains were soft and fragrant; it looked delicious. But, Xiao Xiao's fingers couldn't help but tremble. No one knew better than her what was inside the bowl of porridge.
Her color was beautiful, fragrant, and sticky. It looked delicious, but it was actually a poison that pierced the intestines. Just one mouthful was enough to take a person's life.
This was poison that she had personally put in, so how could she drink it?
Xiao Xiao shook her head and pushed the bowl aside. "This is for you, madam. I can't drink it."
"You and I come from the same place. It's been hard enough for you to be a cleaning maid for a year. Take this bowl of porridge as an apology."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she signaled the maid standing aside with her eyes, "Hurry up and let Concubine Xiao eat porridge."
The two maidservants, who were standing like pillars, grabbed Xiao Xiao's arms and poured the porridge into her mouth.
Xiao Xiao panicked. The porridge was soft and sticky, and there was even some honey added to make the taste sweeter. But in her mouth, it tasted like concentrated sulfuric acid, making her throat hurt.
Xiao Xiao wanted to struggle and shout for help, but the maid was clearly trained in martial arts. Her palm was like an iron hoop that held her tightly. She couldn't break free at all.
After a long time, Xiao Xiao was put down with an ashen face. Looking at the empty porridge bowl, Xiao Xiao felt a sharp pain in his stomach.
I've been poisoned. I'm going to die.
This was the only thought in Xiao Xiao's mind. Since she was going to die no matter what, she might as well die now. Xiao Xiao lifted her head and glared fiercely at Jiujiu. She no longer pretended to be obedient as she yelled, "Li Qingshu, you b * tch!"
Jiujiu rubbed her chin and looked at Xiao Xiao like she was waiting to watch a good show, "Uh huh, so?"
"What have I done wrong to you? Why are you always going against me?" Xiao Xiao thought about the restaurants that closed down because of Jiujiu, the child that Jiujiu aborted because of Yuwen Jie, and even Jiujiu.
As she looked at Bai Yu who was hugging Jiujiu and looking at Jiujiu with a gentle expression, Xiao Xiao gritted her teeth in hatred.
"You've done wrong to me?" Jiujiu smiled, "Xiao Xiao, you've overestimated yourself. You may not have done wrong to me, but you've done wrong to the people who ate at your restaurant. Not only were there adults, there were also children. The children were so young that they didn't even know anything. How could you bear to add marijuana leaves to their food? Don't you feel guilty for using that money?"
Xiao Xiao's expression changed slightly. But, after a moment, she continued to yell, "What about Yuwen Jie? If it weren't for you, how could my child have been lost?"
"Your child." Jiujiu laughed mockingly, "That product of illicit sexual relations. Xiao Xiao, oh Xiao Xiao, look at you. You're not ugly and you're capable. If you were a little more reserved, you could even be the main wife. But, you had to have illicit sexual relations with Yuwen Jie. After Yuwen Jie abandoned you, you cruelly poisoned him to death. A shameless, heartless, and ruthless person like you will only harm others if you continue living in this world."
"What poison? Yuwen Jie died suddenly."
"You and I both know whether or not it was a sudden death, but it doesn't matter. You're going to meet Yuwen Jie soon. It's said that after a person dies, they'll know exactly why they died. Do you think Yuwen Jie will spare you if he knows that you were poisoned to death?"
Jiujiu stood up. Only then did Xiao Xiao realize that Jiujiu's stomach was slightly protruding. It was obvious that she was pregnant.
Bai Yu thoughtfully supported Jiujiu's waist. As Jiujiu walked out, she said, "These love beans taste pretty good, don't they?"
Xiao Xiao's body trembled. The pain in her stomach was getting worse and worse. Her eyelids couldn't help but droop. Her vision turned black and she lost consciousness.
Originally, she thought she was dead for sure. But, who would've thought she'd be able to open her eyes one day. She saw a man with a mouth full of big yellow teeth and a strong stench sitting by her bed. Xiao Xiao subconsciously shrank into the corner and asked cautiously, "Who are you?"
Big Yellow Teeth rubbed his palms together and revealed a vulgar smile, "Wife, I'm your husband."
Big Yellow Teeth originally thought he'd live the rest of his life like this. But, who would've thought that a benefactor would descend from the heavens and give him a wife? Not only did she not ask for money, she even gave him money. However, the condition was that he'd make his wife unable to get off the bed. If he could do that, he'd be paid a hundred taels of silver a month.
A hundred taels.
Big Yellow Teeth had never seen a hundred taels of silver in his life. What was so difficult about making Xiao Xiao unable to get off the bed?
Big Yellow Teeth wretchedly rubbed his crotch and pressed his body down.
Xiao Xiao wanted to struggle, but Big Yellow Teeth's slap made her dizzy. By the time she regained her senses, Big Yellow Teeth had already taken over her body.
Feeling Big Yellow Teeth's movements and the stench that filled her nose, Xiao Xiao wanted to die immediately.
But, she couldn't bear to.
Xiao Xiao couldn't bear to die.
She'd already died once in the modern era. The feeling of suffocation was terrifying and Xiao Xiao didn't want to experience it again. Even though she was in such a miserable state, she still wanted to continue living.
Although Big Yellow Teeth hadn't touched a woman for many years, his body couldn't take it after a long time. However, he quickly thought of a solution.
There were so many old men outside the city walls. As long as he was given two taels of silver, he could sleep with Xiao Xiao once.
Since he could get money and make her unable to get off the bed, what a good deal.
