Chapter 116: Death of Jin Chuan (Part )
Mrs. Wang said to Jia Zheng anxiously, "Master, Jinchuan is pregnant with your child after all. Why don't we go and ask her together, so as not to wrongly accuse Yuchuan, and let Jinchuan rest assured to take care of her baby." After saying that, Mrs. Wang rubbed her hands nervously, her eyes full of worry and uneasiness.
Jia Zheng frowned, then nodded in agreement after a moment's silence. He knew this matter had to be thoroughly investigated, and no one should be wrongly accused. So, they went together to Jin Chuan'er's residence.
Along the way, Mrs. Wang was anxious, not knowing how Jin Chuan'er would respond. Meanwhile, Jia Zheng had a serious expression, as if he was thinking about something. Finally, they arrived at the door of Jin Chuan'er's room.
Arriving at the door, they found it tightly shut. Standing outside, they heard a woman's voice from inside: "Sister, you're six months pregnant, right? Did Master Zheng say when he'd give you a legitimate status?" Jin Chuan'er's voice was filled with frustration: "No! Men are truly untrustworthy. In bed, he thinks I'm the most beautiful and the best; but once out of bed, I'm nothing but mosquito blood."
Another woman's voice rang out again: "Sister, don't be sad, take care of yourself. There are rumors about Master Zheng everywhere in the capital now. I wonder if he will be forced to take you into his room."
Mrs. Wang watched Jia Zheng's face grow increasingly darker, and she was laughing inwardly. Just as she was about to say a few kind words to improve his favorability, she was startled by Jia Zheng's action. Jia Zheng kicked the door open, and then rushed to Jin Chuan'er like lightning. There was a crisp "snap" sound, and then Jin Chuan'er fell to the ground and wailed in pain.
When everyone realized what was happening, they saw Jin Chuan'er lying on the ground, her face as pale as paper, blood slowly seeping out from under her body. Yu Chuan quickly ran back and hugged Jin Chuan, asking with concern: "Sister, how do you feel? Why are you bleeding? Go find a doctor, please have mercy on me!" As she spoke, she kowtowed to Mrs. Wang. After just two or three kowtows, her forehead became red and swollen, and blood flowed down her cheeks, which was a shocking sight.
Jin Chuan'er raised her head slightly and looked at Lady Wang and Jia Zheng, a trace of panic in her eyes. She hesitated for a moment and said softly, "I... I'm fine. Yu Chuan is still young and naive. Please forgive me, Master and Madam." Then she forced herself to stand and kneel before Jia Zheng and his wife. Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead and dripped onto the ground, splashing small flowers.
Seeing this, Jia Zheng frowned slightly and asked, "Jin Chuan'er, do you have anything to say about Yu Chuan'er?" His eyes were sharp, as if he could see through everything.
Jin Chuan'er lowered her head, biting her lips tightly, as if trying to suppress her inner fear and anxiety. After a long while, she raised her head, her eyes firm and resolute, and slowly said, "Master, Yu Chuan'er is innocent. This is all my fault. Please don't blame her. I am willing to die to atone for my sin."
Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng exchanged a glance, both with expressions of surprise and confusion. They had expected Jin Chuan'er to deny everything, but they had not expected her to be so frank, to take the initiative to admit her mistakes, and to be willing to take full responsibility.
Mrs. Wang sighed softly, held Jin Chuan'er's hand in a tone of pretended gentleness, and comforted her softly: "Jin Chuan'er, don't worry, as long as you tell the truth, the master will naturally not blame you. Besides, you are pregnant with the master's child now, and there are many good days in the future!" After that, she looked at Jin Chuan'er meaningfully.
Jin Chuan'er's heart sank. She knew all too well Lady Wang's ruthless tactics. Ever since her relationship with Jia Zheng was revealed, she knew she was doomed. At this moment, she simply refused to give in. However, facing Lady Wang's threats and inducements, what could she do?
Jin Chuan'er took a deep breath and gathered herself. She knew she had no choice. So she lowered her head and whispered, "Madam, I know I've caused trouble for the family. But Yu Chuan is still young. I beg you to forgive her this time." Madam Wang nodded slightly in agreement. Seeing this, Jin Chuan'er breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the matter was almost resolved, Jia Zheng looked at Jin Chuan'er expressionlessly, his eyes revealing a hint of disappointment and disgust. After a moment's silence, Jia Zheng slowly said, "Take care of yourself!" With that, he flicked his sleeves and left, leaving behind a silence.
After seeing Jia Zheng leave, Mrs. Wang turned her gaze to Jin Chuan'er and said in a cold tone, "I hope you will do what you say. I can let your family go, but if you go back on your word, you will bear the consequences." After that, she turned and left without even looking at him again.
After everyone left, only Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er were left in the room. Yu Chuan'er burst into tears and helped Jin Chuan'er up with trembling hands. She asked distressedly, "Sister, why did you do this? Isn't this tantamount to seeking death?"
Jin Chuan'er's face was pale, her lips trembling slightly, and she said weakly, "Sister, you don't know how cruel Madam Wang is. If I don't commit suicide, not only will our family be implicated, but even more innocent people will be implicated. Only in this way can we fight for a glimmer of hope for you and your parents. You should leave here quickly and don't go near Madam Wang again. Remember, the farther away from the Second House, the better."
Yuchuan'er hugged Jinchuan'er tightly, tears streaming down her face. She couldn't accept this reality. However, Jinchuan'er pushed her away with her last bit of strength and said firmly, "Go away! Don't come back!"
