Chapter 606: The Past of the 4th Concubine
It is no exaggeration to say that the other concubines also knew about this matter, but no one told her.
That night, she finally stumbled back to her own yard.
She didn't ask Ji Ze what was going on, nor did she ask anyone else, nor did she even tell anyone what she saw that night.
But now, after so much time had passed, she suddenly recounted what happened back then without any psychological burden.
Gu Chaoxi looked at her and said nothing.
The fourth concubine smiled self-deprecatingly and looked at Gu Zhaoxi: "You don't believe what I say, do you?"
"No, I believe it. I'm just curious, why did Fourth Auntie tell me this?"
It is no exaggeration to say that Gu Chaoxi felt that the Fourth Concubine should bury this matter in her heart forever and not tell anyone. Even if Ji Ze died in the future, this matter would be taken to the grave.
But now she told it to Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan without any restraint.
The fourth concubine smiled, put her hands on the city wall, and looked into the distance.
"I know what you want me to do, but many things can't be changed by just me saying something."
Suddenly, she put her hands on the city wall and flipped over.
No matter how fast Gu Chaoxi reacted, he didn't have time to catch her.
Pei Yan was not close to the target to begin with, and by the time he realized that the Fourth Concubine was about to jump, it was too late to catch her.
"boom!"
The sound of the body landing seemed to hit Gu Chaoxi's heart.
She leaned over and looked down. There was still a slight smile on the Fourth Concubine's face, as if she was relieved.
Pei Yan grabbed her arm, worried that she would fall from above.
She pulled back, feeling somewhat helpless, and not knowing what she was thinking, she raised her hand to cover her forehead: "It's a bit difficult."
I don't even know why the Fourth Concubine suddenly behaved like this, it really makes me feel at a loss.
After a while, Gu Chaoxi finally spoke in a hoarse voice: "Let's go down."
He went downstairs and called for someone to come and clean up the body of the fourth concubine.
After all, she is Ji Ze’s concubine, so such a big thing must be told to Ji Ze.
The room was quiet. Ji Ze sat at the head of the bed, looking at Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan who were standing in front of the bed.
After a long while, he sighed very slowly: "She is like this, can't live anymore?"
He seemed to be recalling something for a long time, and finally raised his hand and waved: "You guys go back, tidy up the fourth concubine and put her in the mourning hall first, and bury her with the old lady in a few days."
As he spoke, he coughed violently and raised his hand to cover his mouth.
Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan retreated.
The others were waiting in the corridor outside the yard. When they saw the two of them come out, they surrounded them.
Violet was a little confused: "Why did this fourth concubine suddenly commit suicide?"
This is indeed a very strange thing, and I can't tell the reason.
Perhaps it is related to the person who died in the bell tower many years ago, but the Fourth Aunt did not say what the relationship between that person and her was.
Moreover, they had not had the time to ask whether the Fourth Concubine was also harassed by the strange black shadow.
All these things seemed to come to an abrupt end with the death of the fourth concubine.
After dealing with the matter of the Fourth Concubine, everyone returned to their own courtyards and had lunch.
Gu Chaoxi was lying on a chair to rest, while the two little maids in the yard were cleaning and muttering to themselves.
"Alas, the fourth concubine committed suicide. Could it be that she was forced to do so?"
"Don't talk about this. If people find out, we'll be finished."
Gu Chaoxi blinked. What should she do? Her hearing was not very good!
"Come in!" she shouted loudly. The two maids looked at each other and walked into the house timidly.
She was not in a hurry. She waited until the two people stood in front of her, pushing each other to avoid the request, and then she slowly spoke.
"Tell me, what did you just talk about?"
"I heard everything just now. If you are not talking about this matter now, you know the consequences."
She was so intimidating without even getting angry that the two maids didn't dare to do anything.
"Second Miss, we also heard it from other servants."
Sometimes Gu Chaoxi felt that this was the only good thing about General Ji Ze’s mansion, and this deep-rooted idea could not be eliminated in a short time.
Whatever her master said, the maids under her would obey her very obediently.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about you two. Tell me about it."
The two maids looked at each other, and it was the taller one who spoke first.
It is said that as early as two years ago, the fourth concubine had become increasingly dissatisfied with Ji Ze, but no one knew what the specific reason was.
But once, when the little maid in the Fourth Concubine's yard was about to serve her, she saw Ji Ze strangling the Fourth Concubine's neck.
He also said, "You'd better keep this to yourself, or you and everyone in your yard will die."
The little maid was so frightened that she dropped the basin in her hand.
Only then did Ji Ze let go of the fourth concubine's neck. He watched her fall to the ground due to exhaustion and did not forget to glare at her.
Afterwards, he strode out of the fourth concubine's yard.
After that, he did not step into the fourth concubine's yard for three consecutive months. Even when the whole family sat together for dinner, Ji Ze ignored the fourth concubine.
The other wives just thought that the two of them had quarreled and were not getting along.
After all, before that, Ji Ze had proposed to marry a fifth concubine, but was rejected by everyone.
Moreover, the girl he wanted to marry did not agree. That girl did not like Ji Ze at all and had her own lover.
It was a long time after that incident, until one day when the fourth concubine made a bowl of soup for Ji Ze and chatted with him, that the ice between the two of them completely melted.
However, the maids in the Fourth Concubine's courtyard could still feel that the Fourth Concubine's attitude towards Ji Ze was no longer the same as before.
"Really? Are those two maids still in the mansion?" Gu Chaoxi thought for a moment and asked.
"Yes, I have been serving in the Fourth Concubine's courtyard."
Gu Chaoxi stood up from the chair, patted his clothes, and walked outside.
She did not go directly to the fourth concubine's yard, but instead went around the third concubine's yard first.
The gate to the yard was open, but no one was inside.
She took a look, turned around and continued walking forward.
When I passed by Pei Yan's yard and looked inside, Pei Yan was sitting on a chair in the hall, looking through something.
"Ayan!"
She called out at the door, Pei Yan looked up, put down the book in his hand, and trotted over here.
"what happened?"
"I heard something new. Let's go to the fourth concubine's yard and take a look."
I hope those two maids are still here.
