The Old Madame couldn't care less whether or not Concubine Ling bullied the pair of mother and son, Yao shi and Gu Yan. She could also turn a blind eye to her actions of sowing discord between Yao shi and her stepsons. However, Gu Chenglin was the lifeblood of the Old Madame, and Concubine Ling's stab almost took his life away.
The Old Madame would absolutely not let her off.
Gu Changqing went to Concubine Ling's courtyard.
Concubine Ling kept on laughing like a mad person for half a night, and now her laughter finally stopped. She sat on the bed, hugging a pillow as though she was holding a child, patting it while humming to it.
Her room was in a great mess.
There was also blood on the ground which belonged to Gu Chenglin.
Gu Changqing crossed the threshold with a cold look.
With the light coming from behind him, his tall figure cast a long shadow on the ground, spreading to Concubine Ling.
Concubine Ling looked up blankly. Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were messy, and her eyes were dull, but she quickly showed a happy smile, "Ah, it's older brother!"
Gu Changqing coldly walked into the room and stopped three paces in front of her.
Concubine Ling smiled and said to the ‘baby’ in her arms, "Older brother is here, call older brother!"
Gu Changqing said, "Stop pretending, I have something to ask you."
The crazy smile on Concubine Ling's face froze.
The corners of her lips dropped little by little, and her dull eyes gradually condensed a trace of malice. She threw the ‘baby’ in her arms mercilessly on the ground and looked at Gu Changqing, "Oh, what does shizi want to ask me?"
There wasn’t the slightest ripple in Gu Changqing's expression as he asked, "Did you kill my mother?"
Concubine Ling froze for a moment, then covered her face and started laughing wildly.
She laughed so hard that her whole person was shaking and bursting into tears.
"Hahahahaha..."
"Hahahaha..."
"Hahaha..."
The whole courtyard was filled with her insane laughter, which sounded truly creepy in broad daylight.
The servant girls in the courtyard hugged each other in fear.
Gu Changqing looked at her with a straight face, but didn't interrupt her.
When she had laughed enough, she wiped the tears on her face, looked at the teardrops on her fingertips and then said, "If I wanted to kill my sister, would my sister still have the chance to live that long?"
Gu Changqing said lightly, "If it's not you, then who is it?"
Concubine Ling smiled and said, "Why don't you ask me whether your mother really died of illness?"
"Did she?" Gu Changqing asked.
Concubine Ling revealed a soft smile, looking straight into Gu Changqing's eyes, "No, she didn’t. She was killed by someone. As for who it is, guess for yourself."
Gu Changqing stared at her for a while, as though trying to ascertain whether her words were true or not.
"Are you doubting that I’m lying?" Concubine Ling sneered and said, "When people are near death, they speak from their heart. I have already admitted all my other sins, so why bother denying this one?"
Gu Changqing responded with a firm tone, "The night before my mother's condition deteriorated, the only people I saw visited her were you and my maternal grandmother. Are you implying that it’s my grandmother who killed my mother?"
"Hahaha..." Concubine Ling trembled with laughter once more, "If you think so... That's fine..."
Gu Changqing frowned.
What did Concubine Ling mean by that?
Was she saying that the murderer was neither her or his maternal grandmother?
Then why did his mother's condition worsen only after her maternal grandmother came with her?
"Lalalala..." Concubine Ling picked up the pillow that was thrown on the ground by herself and held it in her arms again. "Do you really want to know who killed your mother? Come here, I'll tell you. "
Gu Changqing merely looked at her coldly.
"Why? Are you afraid of me?" Concubine Ling looked aggrieved, "You're not that idiot Gu Chenglin, how could I possibly hurt you? Come closer, I'll tell you."
Gu Changqing remained unmoved.
"Ai, it’s nothing much. For making a trip here for the last time and seeing me off, I'll tell you who killed your mother. That person is——" Concubine Ling uttered the name with a sneer.
Gu Changqing felt shocked all over, "You’re spewing nonsense!"
"Hahahahaha... Hahahaha..." Concubine Ling laughed madly again.
Gu Changqing knew that asking her any more questions was useless. This woman seemed to have really gone crazy. She didn’t even know what she was spouting anymore.
He turned around and went out of the room.
When crossing the threshold, he took one last look at Concubine Ling, saying, "Before you marry into the Marquis Estate, when you want me to call you aunt, are your feelings sincere then?"
Concubine Ling’s body froze.
"I want to eat that."
"That haw fruit in the tree?"
"En!" Little Changqing nodded.
"Call me aunt and I’ll pick it for you!"
Little Changqing thought for a moment before saying, "Aunt."
"Haha!" The maiden laughed gleefully and tied her skirt up her waist.
"Aiya! Young miss! What are you doing? A young lady like you shouldn’t do this!" The servant girls and old female servants at the side were half scared to death. This was simply improper!
"Move!" The maiden climbed the tree and picked some haw fruits for the three-year-old Little Changqing.
The maiden’s eyes were pure and her smile was bright.
She was in the prime of her youth, a time where she looked the most beautiful.
Gu Changqing left.
Concubine Ling sat stupefied on the bed, hugging the pillow in her arms.
Suddenly, she buried her face in the pillow and burst into tears——
……
Meanwhile, Little Jing Kong woke up and found himself lying on JiaoJiao's bed. He scratched his little head in confusion.
Strange.
Didn't he sleep in the west room with his bad brother-in-law?
Why was he suddenly here at JiaoJiao's room?
Could it be, JiaoJiao missed him so much that she brought him here in the middle of the night?
Little Jing Kong nodded solemnly.
Yes, that must be it!
Little Jing Kong lifted the quilt in a good mood and began the day full of vitality!
He found his little clothes neatly placed on the chair beside the bed. He tilted his head sideways before picking them up and saying, pleased, "JiaoJiao is so sweet!"
After saying that, he frowned and said in disgust, "Bad brother-in-law is not so sweet!"
As soon as Xiao Liulang opened the door and entered the room, he heard the little guy complain about himself. His eyes narrowed, "What's wrong with me?"
Xiao Liulang: It’s me who brought your clothes, okay?
"Humph!" Little Jing Kong looked away, then continued to put on his little clothes for a while. Swaying his head, he didn’t forget to show off, "I slept with JiaoJiao last night!"
Xiao Liulang: Hehe, you think too much. JiaoJiao didn't sleep.
