Chapter 301 The debt was paid off
Volu 7 Long may the love live
Sun iniang woke from a coma. There was still severe pain in the broken tongue. She looked up and saw the plaque above the ancestral hall. Before she could figure out the situation, two maids knocked her head to the threshold. Sun iniang was frightened and terrified. She wanted to curse loudly but couldn’t say a complete sentence. Those babbling sounds made Madam Luo upset, so she ordered, “Gag her!”
Therefore, Sun iniang was forced by two sturdy maids to kowtow on the threshold. After only a dozen strokes, her forehead turned red and swollen. After twenty strokes, her head started to bleeding, “Boom! Boom! Boom!” The blood was splashing, and Madam Luo was disgusted when she saw it. So, she turned her back and only listened to the sound.
However, He Danggui was unwilling to only listen to the sound. Lying on a temporary bed, she silently turned around to face the door and saw Sun iniang knocking head at her.
Deng Cao saw He Danggui wake up. She quickly ca up and asked, “How are you feeling? Would you like a cup of jujube tea to warm your body?”
He Danggui nodded, so Deng Cao served the tea imdiately. He Danggui lifted the veil of the bed to thank Deng Cao. At the mont, Sun iniang was just making the move to get up, and her beautiful face was half-covered with blood. He Danggui was next to the incense table in the hall and was having the jujube tea on a soft cushion, while Sun iniang was in front of the threshold outside the hall and was forced to knock her head on the threshold.
When they had eye contact, Sun iniang was full of resentnt as if she was about to eat He Danggui alive. She suddenly stood up and rushed toward He Danggui, but a maid behind her hurriedly kicked her on knees to prevent her from entering the hall.
Even the most stupid one now was knowing that Sun iniang, who was still a master a few hours ago, had been now inferior to a poor beggar on the street. Nobody would care about her anymore. Although they didn’t know the details, they were clear that Madam Luo was angry and hated her extrely. No matter who was the wife in charge of the family, her power ca from Madam Luo. Only if Madam Luo allowed her to be decent, she was a master. Otherwise, she was just a dog of this family.
“Bitch!” The maid behind Sun iniang scolded, “If you don’t behave, I will slap you in the face!” As she said, she really slapped Sun iniang several tis.
As a result, Sun iniang’s forehead and the white cloth in her mouth were stained with blood, and her cheeks were swollen to a high extent. But, instead of the maid behind her, she stared at He Danggui resentfully. The daughter of He Jingxian! A demon girl! A bitch! It was all because of her tricks!
The face behind the veil pouted slightly. He Danggui blew the tea in her hands when she looked over at Sun iniang. Her eyes were as dark as night and deeper than an abyss. The eyes showed no light and made people frightened.
Sun iniang shivered. Yes! It must be her. It must be her! This girl was a ghost!
The veil slowly fell off, and the girl behind it sipped the tea. At the sa ti, the two maids outside the door did not give Sun iniang a chance to breathe and continued to press her to the threshold, “Boom! Boom! Boom!” The blood splashed as the punishnts went on. After another hundred tis, Sun iniang finally fainted. However, Madam Luo didn’t call to stop, and the two maids had to continue it.
Although Sun iniang was now pregnant, Madam Luo did not show any rcy to her after knowing that she had four babies of other n. Even if this was Luo Chuangu’s child, she couldn’t allow the baby to co out. A dirty and indecent woman didn’t deserve to give birth to an offspring of the Luo’s Family! If Sun iniang died, plenty of won would give birth to kids for Luo Chuangu! Thinking of this, Madam Luo ordered, “Go to the dicine Room and get an abortifacient!”
He Danggui guessed Madam Luo’s thoughts and said, “Madam, we are celebrating the Lunar New Year, and killing is ominous. Besides, the baby in her belly is innocent. We’d better spare the baby.”
Madam Luo disagreed, and she retorted with hatred, “People will laugh at us if this baby is born. No, I won’t allow it to happen!”
He Danggui lowered her voice and continued to persuade, “For one thing, Sun iniang has done so many evil things. As a result, whether this baby can last for ten months is still unknown. Why should you get your hands dirty? For another, if we keep Sun iniang and her child, it will demonstrate our rcy and kindness. I believe that Sun’s Family and Sun Yanbin will have no reason to bla us.”
Madam Luo pondered, and Miss Ji added, “That’s right! If we keep them alive, then Sun’s Family will not seek revenge on us.”
Therefore, Madam Luo temporarily gave up the idea of letting Sun iniang abort her child. Then Madam Luo said, “Wake her up with ice water! Recount, as long as she faints! The punishnt must be one thousand tis!”
The maids waked up Sun iniang with ice water as ordered and then made her kowtow again. After repeating it several tis, Sun iniang had done 700 tis and her forehead was badly mutilated. Her gagged mouth sent out painful groans. However, the punishnt must be going on.
Seeing Madam Luo’s bad complexion, Miss Ji suggested taking her to the inner hall to rest. In the ancestral hall, He Danggui was drinking tea behind the veil, because she insisted on watching the complete show.
Three hundred tis for her dead daughter; three hundred tis for her mother; three hundred tis for those people who had been hard by Sun iniang.
The initiator, maker, and manipulator of her unfortunate childhood, Sun iniang! This was the debt to her and also to all those people who had been bullied. The rest of kowtowing hundred tis were the interests for her two lives! That tongue was for Run Xiang, and Sun iniang would finally close her vicious mouth. As for Run Xiang’s eyes, Sun iniang didn’t have to pay that yet. Otherwise, how could He Danggui read her feelings?
That night, He Danggui practiced arts of lightness on the roof of Bao Qin Ge and went to the woodshed where she happened to encounter Run Xiang, who was hung upside down and was dying. Run Xiang’s naked body was purple because of the cold air. Of course, her baby had already died in her belly without bleeding a drop of blood.
In the past, Run Xiang also helped Sun iniang to do evil things. But, when she was dying, her words beca good as well. After He Danggui untied her from the beam, Run Xiang said with her toothless mouth, “Third Miss, I’m sorry for what I have done.” He Danggui imdiately forgave her and wanted to rescue her. But Run Xiang refused to move. She told He Danggui that her child’s father was not Luo Chuangu, but her lover Zhang Xian.
Run Xiang continued intermittently that Zhang Xian was a trader who was doing salt smuggling. He was able to get a lot of money, but it was a very risky business. Zhang Xian ca to Luo’s Mansion to have a private eting with her once a month and spent the rest of the ti trading outside. He once said that he would take her out of the mansion once he had earned enough money. However, a few months ago, Zhang Xian had no information for her anymore. She didn’t know if Zhang Xian abandoned her or died outside, and she was worried about it all ti. Therefore, Luo Chuangu took advantage of her worries and she was raped by him.
The blood in Run Xiang’s mouth had dried up long ago. She continued that the thing happened when Sun iniang went to Sun’s Mansion because of her mother’s illness. Later, after Sun iniang returned, Luo Chuangu still refused to leave her alone. Every ti Sun iniang was not paying attention, he would drag her away and forced her to obey him. However, she tried her best to resist him, and her crying drew Dong i’s attention. Dong i had always disliked her and was jealous of her job. So, she complained to Sun iniang. Sun iniang didn’t say anything in the beginning but attacked her when Luo Chuangu was not at ho.
He Danggui felt that Run Xiang could still be saved and wanted to get her out of Bao Qin Ge for treatnt. But Run Xiang told her that Luo Baiqiong had an unnad female guard who was a master of Kung fu. She followed and protected Luo Baiqiong during the day. At night, she lived in Bao Qin Ge and nothing could escape her ears. It was impossible for He Danggui to drag Run Xiang leaving here. What was more, Run Xiang had lost her lover Zhang Xian, her baby, and her teeth. She had no reason to live. She just hated Sun iniang after years of working for her.
Run Xiang firmly grasped He Danggui’s arm and pleaded, “Miss He, I know you are a capable person who can give justice. Besides, Sun iniang hates you very, very much, and she will kill you sooner or later. When you want to handle her soday, please tell Madam Luo my grievances. If Zhang Xian cos to soday, tell him it, too!”
He Danggui promised. She took off her cotton-padded clothes and gave it to Run Xiang. Then, she sealed Run Xiang’s acupuncture points with a silver needle to relieve the pain. The next night, He Danggui brought winter clothes and dicine soup to see Run Xiang, but she was noticed by that female guard and could not enter Bao Qin Ge. Later, when she told Madam Luo Run Xiang’s story, everything was too late.
However, He Danggui did not see the tragic scene of Run Xiang’s death. She read it from a small note, saying that Run Xiang had dug out her eyes and cut off her tongue. The note also recorded Run Xiang’s last words, “Sun iniang, my child and I will stare at you forever until you die!”
