Chapter 607: 4th Concubine's Notes

When we arrived at the fourth concubine's yard, the two maids were cleaning the yard while crying.

Now that the fourth concubine has died, Ji Ze ordered his subordinates to clean the yard and seal it up.

No wonder the two maids were so sad, they had been following the Fourth Concubine for several years.

When Gu Chaoxi walked in, they didn't notice it at first.

It was only when Pei Yan coughed lightly that the two maids realized someone had come. They immediately came over to greet Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan.

"Second Miss, Third Master."

"There's nothing here anymore. What are you doing here, young lady?"

Gu Chaoxi looked around and looked at the two of them: "Let me ask you something."

After all, he has been with the Fourth Concubine for several years, so he should know a lot of things, right?

"Do you know what Fourth Concubine treasures?"

That dark shadow definitely would have looked for the fourth concubine.

In a sense, it is very likely that the thing that has kept the Fourth Concubine alive is that thing.

But now that thing has disappeared, and the Fourth Aunt's heart is completely dead.

The little maid thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.

"Yes!" He nodded very affirmatively.

"What?" she asked.

"It was a woven cloth bag, very old. We didn't know what was inside. The fourth concubine never let us touch that bag."

The maid said this and shook her head again.

"I haven't seen her take anything out of it?"

The maid thought about it carefully, and then shook her head.

The Fourth Aunt didn't let them touch the cloth bag. Most of the time, when the Fourth Aunt held the cloth bag in her arms, she never took anything out of it.

Sometimes they even think that there should be nothing in the cloth bag.

But the shape of the bag clearly showed that there was something hidden inside.

After all, the Fourth Concubine was the master, and they couldn't just peek into her things.

Once before, out of curiosity, a little maid asked the Fourth Aunt what was in the cloth bag, but the Fourth Aunt just took a look and didn't say anything.

"Do you know where the cloth bag is now?" Pei Yan pursued the victory.

Perhaps, the contents of this cloth bag were the reason that prompted the fourth concubine to commit suicide.

But the maid didn’t know either.

They hadn't seen the cloth bag of the fourth concubine for a long time. They probably discovered that they hadn't seen it at some point, probably after the haunted incident.

After the ghost story came out, the fourth concubine rarely took out her cloth bag, and they didn't see it when they were cleaning the room.

Gu Chaoxi had an idea in his mind, but this idea was not very perfect.

Perhaps, the cloth bag contained something very important to the Fourth Concubine, but this thing was taken away by the black shadow.

In fact, taking the things of one of them can ensure that you have enough food and clothing, so why take away the things of all four people?

Pei Yan thanked the two maids and walked out with Gu Chaoxi.

She thought about it for a long time, but still had no clue.

The two of them had not walked far when they heard footsteps following them from behind. It was one of the fourth concubine's maids.

"Second Miss." The maid was holding a thin notebook in her hand, and it didn't look like there was much that could be recorded.

"This is something that Fourth Concubine wrote herself a while ago. I don't know if it's useful. You can take it."

"After today, I might be out of the house, and I don't know if I can help you."

"Leaving the house?" Gu Chaoxi was a little surprised.

A general's mansion this big can still afford to keep a little maid, so why would you want to leave?

After the maid explained, Gu Chaoxi finally understood why.

It turned out that the fourth concubine had died, and Ji Ze didn't want to keep those who had served the fourth concubine in the past, as he felt that the memory would bring back memories.

What's more, he is not in good health now, and he can't make any money for the house. He can't afford to keep any idle people. It is better to just settle the bill and send the people away.

She took the letter, thanked the maid, and looked at the maid's back as she turned away, choking up for a moment.

Pei Yan put his arm around her shoulders and raised his hand to pat her head gently.

"It's okay. Let's see if the fourth concubine has left any clues."

That's true. Serious matters are more important. We can't let the matters of the other planes cause too much emotional fluctuations in our own affairs.

The diary records a relationship of the fourth concubine, but it seems that the other party is not the kind of person who is accepted by the public.

He is a down-and-out man who is looked down upon by others, that's what he said himself.

In fact, I admire him very much. Even without the help and protection of his family, he still relies on his own abilities to study and do things. This is what I need to learn from him.

Perhaps because he felt that I was lonely, he began to teach me how to write and read.

To be honest, I'm not cut out for this, but he was very determined.

Many people said that he was not good-looking and could not do anything factual except for a few flowery sentences every day.

I argued with them that it was only because he was seriously ill and he had no money for treatment that he became like this.

But he wouldn't let me argue with others, saying there was no need to waste my emotions on him.

I told him that people must be full of hope in order to keep moving forward.

He praised me for understanding a lot of truths now, but he couldn't respond to my feelings.

Just like many people have said, we are two incompatible people. There is no need to force us together. No one will be happy this way.

Later, he left completely on a rainy night.

But in fact, I knew, I knew in my heart that it was not his intention. She hadn't even seen me marry into a good family, so how could she just leave like that?

But there was no way, because I had no evidence and because the other party held great power, so I could only give in.

I told myself that success does not come in a moment, so I have to be patient.

So, I married Ji Ze.

Ji Ze was very nice to me, but not very nice. I discovered his secret in the clock tower.

That was the first and last time I saw my sister. I was so scared. The man I married was a monster.

I began to forget everything about that night, but every now and then, the memory would pop up again and linger in my mind.

It tortured me year after year.

The pawn shop contract that my parents left to me was taken away by someone. I know why he took it, but I don't want to argue anymore.

I am so tired. This kind of life without sunlight is not what I want, but I have been a bird locked in a cage for too many years. I can't fly anymore.

So I thought, let it fall, let it fall.

"This is her ending." She chose a path for herself, which was to face death and escape from it.
