108 ways to die for supporting characters

Chapter 468 The Tragic Death of a Concubine 1
The fourth-rank general Ji Wuming died in battle, and he went to the battlefield not long after the first lady entered the house, so he was unable to leave behind any offspring.

After discussing it, the master and mistress of the family decided to let their second son Ji Wuyou take charge of both wives.

Everyone was very happy. The master and the mistress were very happy that they helped their eldest son keep his daughter-in-law and continue the family line for him.

The eldest lady no longer has to be a widow, and she can have her own children. Her family members respect her, and all the property left by the master is hers. She is very happy.

The second master was also very happy to have a wife from a high-class family for free.

The only exception is the Second Lady. She wanted to share her husband with another woman and even have children with that woman. That woman is actually her nominal sister-in-law. She is so disgusting!

But it was useless to feel disgusted. She had no say in the Ji family and she could only swallow her anger.

She accepted the poison.

I just hope that I can give birth to a legitimate son for the second wife as soon as possible.

But three years later, the first wife gave birth to a son and a daughter, but the second wife couldn't even lay an egg.

The second wife set her sights on her beautiful personal maid.

The original owner was honest and obedient, and she did whatever her master said. She was good-looking with a big butt and big breasts. People in ancient times believed that such people were easy to give birth to.

As soon as her master asked her to be the second master's concubine and bear children, she agreed.

As a result, she agreed so readily that the Second Lady began to hate her.

The original owner slept with him, and within a month she became pregnant.

The second lady sent all the good things to her room as if they were free.

Then when the baby was born, the fetus was too big, and the Second Master's wife wanted to keep it small, so the original owner died.

In the delivery room that day, blood flowed all over the bed, and the original owner's eyes were wide open, and she died with her eyes open.

……

When Ning Yan arrived, the second wife was selecting a concubine for her husband.

Ning Yan said in a fake tone: "According to this servant, why did the master let the maid give birth to a child for the second master?

After all, it wasn't my own belly, so there's no guarantee that there will be a barrier between mother and child in the future."

The second wife was annoyed, "If I can give birth, why should I let others give birth?"

"Master, I remember there was a peasant woman in my village who had been childless for three years. Later, she met a Taoist priest who gave her a pill and she gave birth to a big fat boy ten months later.

The Taoist priest had a long beard and held a banner in his hand with the words "magic medicine" written on it.

Madam, why don’t you send someone to look for him?

That’s it…”

"Just what?"

"That Taoist priest is greedy and wants money!"

"As long as you can give birth to a child, I will give you any amount of money."

Ning Yan was so happy that she thought, this is exactly what I've been waiting for you to say.

"Madam, I have an unwelcome request."

"You said."

"I have such a face that I dare not even leave the house. I can't help Madam with anything. I just want to wait for Madam to get pregnant so that I can redeem my indenture contract. After I go out, I can find an embroidery studio to be an embroiderer. I think I can live a peaceful life."

The Second Madam was a little concerned about this maid. If she hadn't been very sensible, she would have found a way to send her away. Upon hearing this, she agreed directly.

"As long as I get pregnant, I will return your indenture to you."

The second wife agreed to Ning Yan's request and sent someone to find the Taoist priest.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find him after asking around for several days, but this Taoist priest really exists.

When the second wife was inquiring about the Taoist priest, she went to the original owner's village to inquire, and there was really a woman in the village who took the Taoist priest's medicine and gave birth to a child.

So, although she was very anxious, she still sent people to search carefully.

But Ning Yan was feeling a little uncomfortable here.

She was hated by Zhenzhu, who was also a maid.

Because Zhenzhu liked the Second Master, she thought she had a chance to become his concubine this time, but her plan was ruined by Ning Yan.

So she acted sarcastic in front of Ning Yan several times and even went to the Second Madam to tell tales.

The original owner was only responsible for the second lady's needlework, but Zhenzhu was the favored one in front of the second lady, so the second lady naturally favored her.

But I failed after several attempts.

That day she gave Ning Yan a big surprise!
The second wife sent a message to Ning Yan to go to the main hall.

"Jadeite, Pearl said you stole my wife's gold hairpin, is that true?"

Ning Yan bowed to the Second Madam, and then said, "Master, I have something to report. Please ask the attendants to leave."

Zhenzhu instinctively didn't want to leave, but the Second Lady felt that it was impossible for Feicui to do such a thing now, and she was willing to listen to what she wanted to say, so she sent everyone away.

After everyone left, Ning Yan walked forward and whispered beside the Second Madam, "Master, I had expected this to happen sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so soon."

"What do you mean?"

Ning Yan lowered her voice even more: "My master, why do you think I suddenly told you to give birth to the child yourself?
Zhenzhu's family had long been eyeing the Second Master. Zhenzhu's younger brother was well educated, but as long as their family was a slave, no matter how well educated he was, he could only be a clerk and accountant.

But if Zhenzhu marries the Second Master, once she gives birth to his child, her family's indenture is repaid, and her brother passes the imperial examination and becomes a scholar, then their family..."

She deliberately stopped here and let the second lady experience it for herself.

Anger appeared in the second lady's eyes.

The Ji family became wealthy thanks to the eldest master's military achievements, but they didn't have much wealth, so they married the second master to a merchant girl, who became the second wife.

In this era, among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants were ranked last. If Zhenzhu's younger brother could really pass the imperial examination and become a juren, and if Zhenzhu gave birth to the second master's child when the eldest master had died in the war, the child would be able to step on her head.

"Do you have any evidence to support your claim?"

"What evidence can I have from what I overheard?"

In fact, the Second Madam had already believed it. Why didn't Feicui steal things earlier or later, but waited until she didn't want to arrange for the Second Master to be his concubine, so that her jewelry was lost?
Even if the items were found in Feicui's room, they could have been put there by someone else. The key point is that the gold hairpin has not been found yet.

On the contrary, it was Pearl, who was her personal maid, and it was too easy for her to touch her jewelry.

"She said she saw you take my golden hairpin with her own eyes!"

"My master, why didn't you stop her when she saw me? It's more convenient to catch her in the act than to report her afterwards!
Also, I have only been to your bedroom a few times. You stay in the room every day to make clothes and shoes for you. You don’t even know where your things are. How could I steal them?
Furthermore, I have given you a suggestion before. If this thing is really accomplished, you will definitely reward me. Why would I need to steal a golden hairpin?
I was stolen but couldn't take it away. When you find that something is missing, just give the order to search the room. If I were a traitor to my master, my life would be in danger!
If you don't believe me, you're just afraid that someone close to you will search my room. From yesterday to today, I haven't even left my room because I've been embroidering a summer shirt for you. All the meals were delivered by Tourmaline, and Zhenzhu didn't even have the chance to put anything in my room.

The thing is definitely not in the servant's room."

The Second Lady completely believed Ning Yan's words, because every word she said made sense, especially the sentence "If this is really accomplished, you will definitely be rewarded" which was particularly pleasant to the ear.

Thanks to Wei Ya for the 500 Qidian coins reward!!!
