☆、001、Caught in an affair and murdered
The midday sun was dazzling, and the little bird on the treetop was already showing signs of fatigue, its little head nodding drowsily. Suddenly, it opened its eyes, and as if startled, flapped its wings and flew away.
At this moment, two figures hurried along the corridor. The girl in green, who was running ahead, kept calling out to the girl behind her, "Miss, hurry up! Young Master Hong is already in the back garden, saying he's waiting to see you."
The girl running behind was only twelve or thirteen years old. She wore a red dress embroidered with gold thread, which was originally a rich and beautiful outfit. However, the girl was young and her body had not yet grown up, so she looked somewhat like a child dressed as an adult, which seemed a bit incongruous.
The girl's face was flushed from running. Hearing this, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but smile. Still not entirely sure, she asked, "Are you sure Brother Yicheng is back? Didn't you say he wouldn't be back in the capital for another two days? I haven't chosen a welcome gift for him yet."
The maid in green, named Chan'er, nodded firmly: "Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you, Miss?"
Upon hearing this, the girl's smile deepened, and she leaped over Chan'er, eager to see the Yicheng brother she had mentioned.
Seeing the girl's anxious look, Chan'er's lips curled into a strange smile, her face full of undisguised mockery. What kind of legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion was she? She was just a brainless girl! There was going to be a good show to watch. With that thought, she ran after her.
The girl ran familiarly towards the back garden, her heart pounding with excitement. Her face grew increasingly red. Brother Yicheng had said he would come to see her as soon as he returned from his studies abroad. In three years, she would be Brother Yicheng's wife. The girl's eyes sparkled, and she ran even faster.
From afar, the girl saw his tall and straight figure. The sunlight in the sky made his shadow long and straight, making him look even more upright. It was none other than the Yicheng brother that the girl had been longing for, the eldest son of the second-rank Crown Prince's tutor - Hong Yicheng. The girl was overjoyed and hurriedly tidied her clothes, which were a little messy from running. When she looked up, her face was full of sweet and innocent smiles.
But when she saw the scene in the distance, the smile on the girl's face froze!
In the distance, a woman dressed in white, with a delicate and frail figure, walked towards Hong Yicheng. Hong Yicheng's expression changed drastically, his longing and excitement intertwined. He strode forward, embraced the woman in white, and couldn't help but kiss her red lips.
The woman in white struggled noticeably, her face flushed red, making her already delicate and beautiful face even more alluring. Hong Yicheng deepened his kiss, and the woman in white softly fell into the man's arms, her eyes filled with spring, her lips slightly swollen, making her even more tempting!
Hong Yicheng couldn't help but say, "Rou'er, it's been a year since we last met. I've missed you so much!"
The woman named Rou'er blushed and replied shyly, "Me...me too."
Hearing the two talking, the girl's mind went completely blank!
How could this be! They, they...
Brother Yicheng has actually hooked up with Second Sister!
How could this be!
Brother Yicheng said he would only love her and marry her in this life! Why would he do such a bold thing with Second Sister?
They're clearly having an affair!
The girl's name was Ouyang Yue, and she was the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion.
The second sister she mentioned was named Ouyang Rou, and she was a concubine's daughter in the household.
The two had been very close since childhood. Ouyang Rou was just like her name suggested, gentle and weak. When she was bullied, she often needed her younger sister Ouyang Yue to stand up for her. The two had no secrets from each other since childhood, and they even wanted to tell each other what they ate yesterday and whether the tea was hot or cold.
Ouyang Yue never expected that her good sister, knowing that she and Yicheng were childhood sweethearts, would secretly seduce Yicheng and do such a despicable thing!
Ouyang Yue had every reason to think that way. When she was five, she met Hong Yicheng, who was nine at the time and being beaten up by a group of children his age. Ouyang Yue's father was a military officer, and Ouyang Yue had taken after him since childhood. She was much more cheerful and outspoken than most women. On a whim, she chased away the children out of a sense of justice, and that's how the two met.
Although they were just children at the time, Hong Yicheng made a vow to marry Ouyang Yue when he grew up. Ouyang Yue was lively and young, but she thought Hong Yicheng was a very gentle older brother and liked him very much.
As the two got to know each other better, the gentle and refined Hong Yicheng naturally won Ouyang Yue's heart. At that time, Hong Yicheng's father was just a minor official of the seventh rank. His rapid rise in rank over the years was undoubtedly due to Ouyang Yue's father's efforts to ensure his daughter wouldn't marry down.
Ouyang Yue and Ouyang Rou were inseparable. Hong Yicheng naturally got to know Ouyang Rou as well. However, there was nothing unusual about their interactions. A year ago, when Hong Yicheng left Beijing to study abroad, he personally promised Ouyang Yue that he would come to see her as soon as he returned to Beijing. He also said that he couldn't wait three years to marry her!
Hong Yicheng's gentle voice still lingered in her ears, and his affectionate eyes were still vivid in her mind, but when he returned, he didn't come to see her!
These two people were the people Ouyang Yue trusted and knew most. Why?! Why did they betray her together?! Why?!
Ouyang Yue was in a daze and looked very shocked. When Chan'er, who had come with her, saw this, she suddenly kicked Ouyang Yue from behind and then ran away.
Caught off guard, Ouyang Yue fell to the ground with a thud.
"who!"
"ah!"
Hong Yicheng and Ouyang Rou's voices rang out at the same time. The man's voice was bright and clear, while the woman's voice was soft and charming. The sound of them intertwining was exceptionally pleasant to hear. However, to Ouyang Yue's ears, it became the most annoying and unpleasant sound in the world, scraping against her heart with every sound!
Ouyang Yue, her face pale, looked up as Hong Yicheng and Ouyang Rou approached, and blurted out, "Why! Why did you lie to me! Brother Yicheng, didn't you say you only loved me! You...you!"
Hong Yicheng was shocked to see Ouyang Yue there. His expression changed drastically. Ouyang Rou, who was leaning against him, trembled and knelt down with a thud. She cried out sadly, "Sister, don't misunderstand, it's not... it's not what you think!"
Ouyang Yue sneered. She had always been fierce since childhood, and she raised her hand to slap Ouyang Rou: "It's not what I think. You two just now... just now... you adulterous couple, you still have the nerve to say it's a misunderstanding? You bitch, I've always trusted you so much, and you actually dared to steal Brother Yicheng!"
Ouyang Yue was still furious. She stood up and slapped him again, but this time the slap didn't land. Ouyang Yue's face turned pale with pain: "Brother Yicheng..."
"Slap!" Hong Yicheng's face was gloomy. He slapped Ouyang Yue with his backhand. Ouyang Yue felt her cheek immediately swell up. Her body couldn't withstand the heavy blow and she was sent flying to the ground.
"How are you? Are you badly injured? Let me see!" Hong Yicheng's voice was still gentle, but it wasn't directed at her. Ouyang Yue trembled with anger as she watched Hong Yicheng gently ask Ouyang Rou as if she were a precious treasure. Her heart felt like it was being laid bare before him, mercilessly slashed open, leaving her bloodied and in excruciating pain!
"You hit me? You clearly said you only loved me and only cared for me, what's so great about her! You actually hit me! Have you forgotten what you said?!" Ouyang Yue covered her swollen cheek. She had only used a little force, and Ouyang Rou's face only turned a little red. The face under her hand was hot and swollen, and it was clearly her who was more seriously injured!
But Hong Yicheng wouldn't even give her a pitying glance!
Ouyang Yue felt blood gushing from her heart, her face already soaked with tears, ruining her carefully applied makeup and making her look extremely disheveled!
Hong Yicheng looked at Ouyang Yue with disgust. Now that she had discovered him, there was no point in hiding it anymore: "An impulsive, brainless, and shrewish girl. In terms of looks, she's not even as good as the maids around me. How could I possibly marry a woman like you who has no redeeming qualities to spend my life with? You're just delusional!"
"Bastard!" Ouyang Yue jumped up, feeling humiliated, and raised her fist to hit Hong Yicheng. However, the latter swung his arm and sent Ouyang Yue flying.
Ouyang Yue groaned as she was pricked in the waist. Hong Yicheng, displeased by the scolding, didn't stop after hitting Ouyang Yue. He walked over and kicked her in the head again. Seeing Ouyang Yue's painful and contorted appearance, he thought of how this annoying brat had been clinging to him all these years, and a vicious thought suddenly flashed through his mind!
“Yicheng, no… she’s my sister.” Ouyang Rou cried, grabbing Hong Yicheng’s arm, tears streaming down her face, her body trembling uncontrollably. “Even if… even if my sister really spreads the word about us, I… it’s my fault. I couldn’t control my feelings for you. It’s all my fault…”
Ouyang Rou cried harder and harder, which melted Hong Yicheng's heart. He frowned, his eyes turning sinister and flashing with a dangerous light: "Rou'er, you are the woman I want to protect with all my heart. I will not let anything that is detrimental to you happen. I know you are soft-hearted, but do you want this girl to expose our affair and then be sent to a nunnery to spend your life in solitude?"
Ouyang Rou trembled with fear: "
