Shengjing Noble

Chapter 351 The seller seeks glory

If it were in the past, Wenli would definitely have argued with her, but now she just knelt obediently, looking very humble, willing to be beaten and scolded.

Qiuju walked up and said, "Sister Cuizhu, the girl said she wanted to see her."

"What?" Cuizhu was very angry and said reluctantly, "Girl is too soft-hearted. Forget it, forget it. If that's the case, why don't you follow me in quickly!"

After saying that, she turned around and walked forward on her own. Wenli's eyes lit up with hope and she quickly stood up and followed her.

The two of them came into the room one after another. Wenli saw Su Lanyin lying on the bed, and immediately rushed over and knelt beside the bed, crying.

"Miss, I haven't seen you for a long time. I really miss you. Wuwuwu... How could you be hurt like this? I really wish I could be your replacement..."

Her hypocritical appearance is disgusting, especially when there is only thunder but no rain, not even a tear.

Su Lanyin frowned and said impatiently, "Why are you howling? I'm not dead yet! Cuizhu, move her away."

After hearing these words, Wenli stopped crying and looked up at her awkwardly.

"Yes."

Cuizhu walked up and dragged Wenli to the door without any hesitation.

"Just kneel down here and talk!"

Wenli didn't dare to resist and could only nod with a look of grievance.

"As long as I can see the girl, I can kneel anywhere."

These words were said so beautifully that if one didn't know her, one would have thought she was some loyal maid.

Su Lanyin felt annoyed. If she hadn't wanted to see what tricks she was up to, she would have kicked her out long ago.

"Wenli, I told you at the beginning that there would no longer be any master-servant relationship between you and me. Do you remember?"

Wenli shrank her neck and lowered her head, looking like she knew she was wrong. She sobbed and said, "Miss, I regret it. I shouldn't have listened to Liu Ruyan's plan to murder you, but... I was forced to do so. If I didn't do this, they would beat me to death and sell me to a brothel."

Cuizhu said disdainfully: "So what? If it were me, I would never betray you even if I died! If you want to sell out your master for fame, then sell out your master for fame. Why are you pretending to be helpless?"

"Sister Cuizhu, I..."

Wenli still wanted to quibble, but Su Lanyin didn't have that much patience.

So she said coldly: "Tell me the purpose of your visit this time."

"Slave..."

Wenli hesitated and dared not speak.

Cuizhu asked disdainfully, "You're not still hoping to get back to the girl, are you?"

"No! I dare not hope to return to you, young lady." Wenli shook her head repeatedly, "It's just... it's just that I really can't live anymore. I beg you to save me for the sake of growing up with you since I was a child."

Cuizhu said angrily: "What do you think of this place? When you are in trouble, you come back to ask for help from the young lady. When you are fine, you resent the young lady for not treating you well. Then you try every means to climb up the social ladder. How can you be so shameless!"

"I can't help it...Sister Cuizhu is a first-class maid, and I'm not...If I were a first-class maid and you were a second-class maid...maybe you would be the same as me!"

"fart!"

Cuizhu rushed forward and slapped Wenli in the face. Wenli covered her face and glared at her with resentment but did not dare to resist.

"Do you think everyone is as lowly and ungrateful as you? Not to mention that I am a first-class maid, even the one who washes the toilet in the backyard has never been treated unfairly by the young lady. On weekdays, she either gives them food and clothes, or gives them money as subsidies."

"Not to mention you, a second-class maid. How are your food, clothing and shelter different from those of a first-class maid like me? But what about you? Not only do you not know how to repay your gratitude, but you also help outsiders to harm the girl. You really deserve a bad death!"

Hearing her insults and curses like that, Wenli clenched her fists in anger, but since she came to ask for help, she could only lower her head and pretend to be aggrieved.

"Miss, even if I have let you down in the past, you must help me this time, otherwise... otherwise I will run into a wall and die here!"

"You dare? Don't dirty our girl's room, get out of here!" Cuizhu was angry and wanted to kick her out.

Su Lanyin asked coldly: "Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"

Cuizhu was stunned for a moment, and asked anxiously: "Girl, you are not really going to care about this ungrateful wolf, are you?"

Wenli was very excited and quickly said, "Girl, I'm here to help you this time too!"

"Oh, then tell me how you can help me?"

Su Lanyin became more and more curious about what Wenli was going to do.

"Song Rui has been taking refuge with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for some time. When he came back yesterday, he told me to pretend to beg the young lady to take him in, and then take the opportunity to poison the Lu family's well, with the intention of killing the young lady's entire family!"

"What!" Cuizhu's eyes widened in surprise, "Are you telling the truth?"

Wenli nodded repeatedly: "Yes, young lady, everything I said is true. If I lie, I will strike you with lightning!"

Su Lanyin frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then asked, "Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. Why don't you listen to him this time?"

Wenli lowered her head and said, "I know that the last incident has already disappointed the young lady, so the young lady will not take me in again no matter what. What Song Rui asked me to do will definitely not be completed."

"Even if the young lady is kind enough to take me in again, if she really poisons your family, wouldn't that be a complete betrayal? Although I am vain, I dare not kill anyone casually."

"Moreover..." Cuizhu cried sadly when she got to this point. She pulled up her sleeves to reveal her arms covered with purple scars. "Song Rui beats me every other day and takes his anger out on me... I hate him so much that I won't listen to him."

"If I do what he says in this matter, I will be the only one to bear the crime of murder in the end. Moreover, he may even kill people to silence them."

"But if I don't do what he says, he will beat me to death. I'm still young and I don't want to die... So, after thinking it over, I decided that instead of dying no matter which choice I make, I might as well tell you everything and just ask you to give me a chance to live."

Wenli knelt on the ground and kowtowed, her eyes full of a desire to survive, which didn't look fake.

Su Lanyin couldn't help but curl up a sarcastic smile.

In the past, Wenli might have had some small thoughts, knew how to weigh the pros and cons, and was also greedy for fame and fortune, but she would not think things so thoroughly.

Either someone has analyzed the situation for her, or she has grown up and knows how to observe the overall situation on her own.

I think that people will definitely grow after experiencing hardships.

I just don’t know how much of what Wenli said can be believed.

Song Rui is the prince's man, so he must really want to kill her.

It is not necessarily the case that Wenli poisoned and murdered the entire Lu family.

Because this method is too crude. How could a cunning man like Song Rui let Wen Li respond to such a rough method?

When Wenli is caught, she will definitely be the first to give him up, which is not a foolproof thing for Song Rui.
