Chapter 823: Suicide
Liao Jingtang personally rejected Zhu Qingtong. Zhu Qingtong was disheartened and returned to the rented yard in despair.
The maid next to her advised her to leave Jiangning City while Sun Guang was recovering from his injuries, but she was unwilling to do so. She didn't want to go in vain. If she missed it again, she would never have another chance in her life.
If she missed this time, she would never be able to be with her second cousin again in this life.
At night, Zhu Qingtong tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
The next day, she got up early in the morning and went to Liao Jingtang's home without even eating breakfast.
Perhaps the concierge had already gotten the message and refused to open the door even if she knocked on the door. When Zhu Qingtong was tired of knocking, she knelt down at the door and cried, "Cousin, please open the door and save me, wuwu... you want to If you don’t save me, I will die.”
"Cousin, I beg you, wuwu... my life is so miserable, God, why don't you open your eyes and look, help me, I only have a small request, isn't this okay? Woohoo..."
Zhu Qingtong knelt at the gate and started crying.
After Zeng Jing got the news, she was anxious to go to the gate to have a look. The maids quickly stopped her, "Young madam, this is impossible. If you go out with such a big belly, what if... what if that cousin gets emotional?" What to do if it hurts you?”
After Liao Jingtang came back yesterday, he told Zeng Jing about Zhu Qingtong being peeped by Sun Guang.
Although Zeng Jing sympathized with Zhu Qingtong, she never thought of taking her to live in her house. She was not a fool. She clearly knew Zhu Qingtong's purpose and even took the initiative to lure a hungry wolf to her husband to covet her husband.
She won't do such stupid things.
However, now that people are making trouble, if she continues to hide, won't she be looked down upon by others?
How could this be possible? No matter what, she had to go out and deal with others.
Zeng Jing thought about this and wanted to go out.
Three maids held her and refused to let her out.
Zeng calmly sat on the chair and asked the maids around him, "Then what should you do about this matter? People are already in trouble. If I don't go out and solve it, won't she be in trouble all day long?"
"If you want to make a fuss, let her make a fuss. She has been seen by everyone, so she still has the nerve to come here and make a fuss?" The housekeeper muttered as she entered the door.
The housekeeper's surname was Jin, and everyone called her Mrs. Jin.
Seeing Zeng Jing's anxious expression, Mrs. Jin worriedly said, "Young madam, you are heavy now, so you can't be anxious. If you are anxious, the child in your belly will be anxious too. When the time comes, he will come out in a hurry, and you will suffer."
"You don't have to worry about my cousin's house outside. I'll send her away." Mrs. Jin said confidently.
Mrs. Jin sent Zhu Qingtong away twice in a row, making Zhu Qingtong very embarrassed each time. Therefore, Zeng Jing was relieved to leave the matter to her.
"Then you go quickly, otherwise, if she keeps making trouble for a long time, our house will not look good." Zeng Jing said.
Mrs. Jin went.
Mrs. Jin is the general housekeeper around Zeng Jing. She takes care of everything at home. She is a powerful character. Most of the credit for Zeng Jing being able to live such a comfortable life in these years is due to Mrs. Jin. When Mrs. Jin arrived at the gate, she saw Zhu Qingtong crying and complaining about her grievances. She was crying pitifully and grief-stricken, as if Liao Jingtang didn't save her, she would die immediately, which attracted a large group of people who gathered around to watch the fun. People were pointing and talking at Zhu Qingtong and the Liao family.
Mrs. Jin straightened her expression and rushed out with an anxious look on her face, "Oh, cousin, grandma, why are you so blind? You have to live after being seen naked. You have to be more open-minded." Ah, not only for yourself, you also have to think about the old lady. The old lady is old and can’t stand any stimulation.”
Mrs. Jin muttered, rushed over, hugged Zhu Qingtong and howled, "Cousin, grandma, nothing can happen to you. At worst, just marry that Sun Guang. You can't commit suicide. If you marry him, you won't be able to commit suicide." Don’t be at a disadvantage, you are a married woman, but he has not yet married a wife. If you marry him, you will be his legitimate wife. He likes you so much that he will not treat you badly. "
"My young lady has a belly that is about to give birth, and she is still thinking about you. I am afraid that you will not be able to think about it. When the old slave came out just now, the young lady was so excited that she almost had fetal motility. She was dragged by several maids before she agreed. Lie down and rest.”
"Cousin, please don't let anything happen to you again. If something happens again, what will happen if my young lady really gets pregnant?"
As she spoke, Mrs. Jin burst into tears, her face full of worry.
She didn't know whether she was worried that Zhu Qingtong would commit suicide, or that her young lady would have fetal convulsions. In short, she didn't even stop for a while, and explained Zhu Qingtong's matter.
The people around who were watching the fun initially commented that Zeng Jingxin was too hard-hearted and even refused to save her husband's cousin, hiding in the house and refusing to come out.
After learning that Zhu Qingtong was a widow and had been naked, and she came to ask for help because she didn't want to marry the person who had naked her, everyone looked at Zhu Qingtong and became a little mocking.
You said that you, a widow, have been looked down upon and don’t want to marry her, so what do you want?
It is unreasonable for you to come to beg a cousin who is about to give birth to a baby.
How can I save you when you have a big belly?
If there is any accident if the fetal air moves, it will be a matter of killing two people.
This really shouldn’t be the case. This woman shouldn’t come to beg her cousin, but to beg other elders to make decisions for her. This cousin and sister-in-law are peers and cannot make decisions for her. She is kneeling here, crying and fussing. , what kind of trouble are you going to make?
The topic of discussion among the people around him changed and they began to accuse Zhu Qingtong of being insecure.
"Hey, a widow is not afraid of being laughed at if she marries again. Does her husband's family know?"
"Don't you know? If you know, you can still come and ask your cousin to make the decision for her."
"It's ridiculous. How can my cousin make the decision for her? She is a peer, not an elder. The elders have the final say in this marriage. She has been married before, so her husband's family has the final say in her marriage."
"I saw this woman here last time, just two days ago. However, Mrs. Liao didn't let her in. I heard she is a new widow. Her husband has not been dead for a year."
"Ah, I'm still mourning here. Why are you here? Mrs. Liao is still pregnant. What if she has some bad luck?"
"That's right, Mrs. Liao is such a good person."
"Humph, I'm afraid there's something wrong with the constant visits. Mr. Liao is our youngest prefect in Dasheng."
"No way?"
