Chapter 275 The Escape of the Second Madam Meng
Su Rou pushed away the people in front of Lord Jiang and said, "Get out of the way. I'll do it!"
She held the bowl in one hand and pinched Lord Jiang's jaw with the other, forcing him to tilt his neck back and drink it.
Lady Jiang's symptoms were food poisoning, and she didn't know what it was specifically, but drinking this would definitely be helpful.
After pouring a bowl of kudzu root water in, a few drops overflowed from the corner of Lord Jiang's mouth and slid down his neck.
Everyone was so quiet that they didn't dare to make a sound.
Su Rou said, "Bring me a few more bowls."
When I was young, my father would drink with those military generals and end up like this. The imperial physicians in the palace used this method.
However, the banquet had not started for long when Lord Jiang showed such symptoms. It seemed that he did not eat something he should not have, nor did he eat too much of anything.
Su Rou fed him a few bowls of poisoned kudzu root water, and Lord Jiang, who was lying on the table, looked a little more relaxed.
Although he has not yet regained consciousness, his condition is much more stable than before.
Su Rou threw the empty bowl on the ground, stood up and stared at the servant beside Lord Jiang.
"To ensure Lord Jiang's safety, you arranged for someone in the backyard to watch us light the fire and cook. Furthermore, there's no way there was time for poisoning from the time the food was placed on the kitchen stove to the time it was delivered to the front. And you just seemed to have immediately concluded that it was us who poisoned Lord Jiang. Lord, could you please explain why? Do you simply hate us at Hongluan Tower? Or... did you intentionally poison him and then frame us?"
"What...what does it have to do with me? Lord Jiang was poisoned in Hongluan Tower. This is your problem."
Su Rou smiled, "Lord Jiang was poisoned even though you were guarding him. Isn't this your fault?"
He still acts as a lackey. It would be useless for Lord Jiang to have him around!
The servant frowned. "You have no respect for the law. You should have been dragged out and beheaded long ago! If it weren't for Miss Qiao's words of dissuasion, do you think you would have survived until now?"
Oh, you start making all kinds of excuses when you are being ignored.
Su Rou said, "Then drag me out and kill one of them and see."
The other girls in Hongluan Tower became anxious, fearing that this man had really turned mad with murderous intent, and they hurried forward to stop the violent atmosphere between the two of them.
"Don't get angry with them. How can people be so hard on themselves?"
"Yes, yes, the adults are very nice, but they don't like people breaking the rules."
……
The girls in Hongluan Tower were chattering one after another, and although it was noisy, you could hear what they were saying.
The voice is as pleasant as that of a yellow oriole.
Su Rou said, "Weren't they the ones who bullied us first?"
The chattering became quieter because what she said was absolutely right, but they could only pretend that nothing had happened and worship Lord Jiang as an object of gratitude.
Seeing this, the servant said, "You have been trying to sow discord between me and the master since the beginning. Do you have ulterior motives? I really want to see what's going on in your head."
"Someone, hold her down. I'm going to pry her head open myself!"
The madam was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground.
"Sir! This child spoke without restraint, but she meant no harm. Please spare her life."
She originally thought that the people in the South were all sages and proud, but she didn't expect that there were actually such people who were worse than beasts.
There is not much difference between people in the south and the north in essence.
Su Rou was pressed to the ground by the soldiers, her messy hair sticking to her cheeks. She did not resist, but just stared at the servant.
"I saved Lord Jiang, but you're repaying kindness with hatred? Are you planning to get rid of me before Lord Jiang wakes up? Are you taking credit for my service?"
The servant had completely lost his patience with what she said.
He went to the backyard and got some fire tongs, which are used to remove ashes from the stove.
It's already burning red now.
"Although my position is not high, I was personally appointed by His Majesty as the magistrate of Jingzhou! Who do you think you are? How dare you question my poisoning and murder of Lord Jiang?"
Jingzhou County Magistrate?
Su Rou felt a little surprised. The county magistrate was too young. She thought he was just a handyman in front of Lord Jiang.
As the fire tongs got closer and closer, I could almost feel the heat.
Su Rou had no intention of resisting at all.
In fact, after experiencing life and death, she has become indifferent and no longer has any feelings about such things.
She would kill the other person before she died at his hands.
The madam cried, "Sir, please, the girls from Hongluan Tower are willing to sing and dance for you, sir, please don't be angry."
Now it's no longer a question of whether they are angry or not.
"Swish, swish..." A rustling sound came from the side.
Su Rou turned her head and saw several girls standing up, taking off their clothes and kneeling on the ground naked.
Their bodies were covered with wounds, and they crawled towards the boy like dogs.
"grown ups……"
"...Sir, please don't be angry."
Su Rou swallowed her saliva when she heard a soldier. Any normal man would not be able to control himself in front of such an erotic scene.
She closed her eyes and stopped looking at the scene in front of her.
They were so skilled at taking off their clothes because they had often used this method to please this beast.
This time they came to save her...
She thought Hongluanlou was a place where a group of homeless women were taken in by a brothel owner and made a living by performing arts.
Now, she felt that they were just a group of helpless women who helped each other in order to survive...
Su Rou felt helpless...
"Sir, there's a woman outside claiming to be from the Gong family!"
The soldier at the door shouted to the servant in the room.
The servant was stunned, his expression changing again and again, "Gong family?! No one from the Gong family has come to Jingzhou, how come I don't know about this?"
The servant glanced at Su Rou, then stepped on her face as if he thought she was unlucky. "Ugly thing, I'll let you go this time. Lord Jiang hasn't woken up yet, so you're lucky!"
Su Rou's face was deformed by his step, and she groaned in pain.
The boy stepped over her, and the girls from Hongluan Tower quickly surrounded her to check on her condition.
Su Rou's nose was stepped on and it hurt so much that she couldn't speak for a long time.
"Why were you so arrogant just now? This is Jingzhou. We can only rely on them for survival."
"Yes, I was really worried about you just now."
……
Su Rou gritted her teeth. She would definitely find a chance to kick back!
Ah Tian's eyes were blurred with tears, and she stretched out her arms to hug Su Rou.
"Sister, don't go against them anymore. You could really get yourself killed."
The women in Hongluan Tower are just trying to survive.
She really shouldn't go against them, but if she didn't, wouldn't they still be stepping on these weak women?
A beast who only knows how to vent his anger on women should be chopped into pieces and thrown into the air to feed the dogs.
"Sir, please come in quickly. Why didn't you bring any attendants or guards with you when you came to Jingzhou this time?"
"I'm doing a private matter for the Major General, so I can't make it too public."
The voices of the servant and the other man were heard from the door.
Su Rou took a while to recover a little, but her nose bridge still hurt.
This sound...
Why did she feel that it sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before?
I saw a woman in coarse linen clothes being invited in from outside by the servant.
When their eyes met, Su Rou was stunned.
Ok……
She looks a bit like the second wife, Mrs. Meng.
But her expression and temperament are different from Meng's. Is she Meng's sister?
But why did she meet Meng's sisters in Jingzhou?
These questions kept searching for answers in Su Rou's mind.
But no matter which one I find, none of them are convincing enough.
The person in front of me is clearly the second wife Meng who escaped when she went to the South Country!
Mrs. Meng asked the servant, "Am I here at the wrong time? Why is Hongluan Tower in such a state?"
When the girls who were taking off their clothes heard the sound, they immediately knelt down again.
He was kneeling on the ground in dishevel.
The servant was extremely embarrassed. "They... wanted to invite Lord Jiang to dance, but Lord Jiang was poisoned and passed out. They still insisted on performing a striptease to seduce me. The official has already reprimanded them for this."
Su Rou: “…”
Huh? Who has to dance for him?
Su Rou said, "You mean, a few of us weak girls who can't take care of ourselves tied you up here, and then pulled your eyelids to force you to watch us dance?"
