Chapter Twenty: The Death of Green Bamboo

  Green bamboo's eyes were in a state of panic, she didn't dare to look at Su Mu Jin, her body kept trembling, "Slave... slave..."

  Liu's back was covered in cold sweat, and she glared at Qing Zhu's limp body, shouting, "Qing Zhu, who gave you the order to harm my daughter?! You'd better confess quickly, if you dare to lie, not only will you die, but your whole family will be buried with you!"

  "Eldest sister, doesn't this statement of yours have a hint of threatening someone?" The second madam had just formed an alliance with Su Mochen, so naturally she would think of Su Mochen's words.

  "Brother and sister, your words are too sharp! I'm just telling the truth. As the one in charge of the household's provisions, I have control over the back courtyard. How can I not ask questions when Jin'er has been wronged?"

  The body of the green bamboo shook violently.

  Yes, the madam is in charge of the household's food and drink, she is the proper mistress of the house. She is a born-and-bred member of the household, her parents and brothers all work in the household, if she really sells out the madam, how could the madam spare her family!

  Thinking of this, she was filled with regret! She had been serving the mistress for more than a year or two, and in these years at Jin Garden, relying on being the mistress's person, she openly and secretly didn't put the eldest miss in her eyes, and not only once bullied Qinshe and Shengxiao, which also cultivated her habit of looking down on people!

  She stared at the big girl who was about to turn over, and she had to replace the maid in Jin Garden. How could she not be afraid? If she were driven out of Jin Garden, she would have been lazy for years and would not know how to serve people. She would have no way out wherever she went. Therefore, Mrs. Xi promised her that if she helped to harm the big girl this time, she would give her 50 taels of silver as a dowry and find a good family for her to marry into. She was also possessed by a demon, thinking that she couldn't let the big girl turn over and come to trouble her, so she had an idea.

  Who would have thought that harming others would ultimately harm oneself? Now that things have come to this point, the madam will not even consider their past relationship to save her, what can she do!

  Lu Zhū jígè de mǎn tóu dà hàn, yī tái tóu jiù duì shàng dà gū niáng bīng hán wú qíng de móu zǐ.

  Translation:

  Green Bamboo was suddenly covered in sweat, and as soon as he looked up, he met the icy gaze of Big Sister.

  Yesterday, the big madam was punished by the old master for being too harsh on the eldest daughter. She's just a small slave and doesn't know how she'll die!

  She's dead, it doesn't matter, but we absolutely can't implicate our family members again!

  "I don't know what the young lady is talking about. I haven't been instructed by anyone!" Green Bamboo knew she was doomed, but instead of being afraid, she raised her head, closed her eyes and looked like she was ready to die. "I just heard that the young lady wanted to replace the maid in Jin Garden, so I harbored resentment in my heart and plotted against the young lady!"

  Su Mu Jin let out a cold snort, gave Liu Shi a chilly glance, then lowered her head again to look at the green bamboo, "Alright, I'll ask you again. Not just anyone can enter the old lady's room, who let you in?!"

  Qing Zhu had already thought of an excuse and explained, "The old lady's gatekeeper is very close to my mother, and they also have a son who hasn't gotten married yet. Seeing that I'm serving as the eldest daughter's maid, they think it's a good match and want me to be their daughter-in-law. After I begged them a bit, they let me in!"

  Su Mu Jin would believe her? Don't be ridiculous! Su Qing Yun also had doubts about what Lu Zhu said, so she sent Bi Yu to summon the gatekeeper. It turned out that what Lu Zhu just said was true, and this woman knew that Lu Zhu had sold her out and was furious with her!

  "Scolded loudly, 'Little hoof, I kindly let you in and you actually bite me back, aren't you afraid of retribution?!'"

  The green bamboo hung its head and did not respond.

  "Green Bamboo, I'm giving you one last chance!" Su Mu Jin narrowed his eyes and stared at Green Bamboo. "I'm telling you, if you don't tell the truth today, I can still make your family suffer a fate worse than death! Do you believe me?!"

  The green bamboo suddenly startled, and he abruptly lifted his head to see Su Mojin's icy and gloomy eyes.

  She bit her lip tightly, and her heart sank all of a sudden.

  "But as long as you tell the truth about what happened, I guarantee your family's safety!"

  Green bamboo eyes lit up, "Is this true?!"

  "Besides believing me, you have no other choice!"

  The green bamboo-like eyes were bright and dark, tightly clenched into fists, compared to the big madam, she still believed in the kind-hearted big girl.

  "Alright! I'll say it!"

  Liu's scalp suddenly felt a chill, and just as she was about to say something else, she saw Su Qingyun and the old lady looking at her with suspicion in their eyes!

  Liu's heart sank thoroughly, but she didn't dare say anything else!

  "Last night, just as I was about to fall asleep..."

  A sharp and piercing sound cut through the air, Su Mochen followed the sound with his eyes, and his pupils suddenly contracted. The sound of the green bamboo suddenly stopped!

  "Jin'er - be careful!"

  Two dark green, sharp-headed darts pierced through the curtain from outside and shot in. The dark green color was obviously poisonous at first glance. One dart flew towards the green bamboo, and the other darted straight at Sumu Jin's body.

  Su Mojin could feel the cold air flow directly to her brow, and before she could react, she was knocked to the ground by a nearby Sheng Xiao. The sharp flying dart flew past their heads with a fierce momentum, shooting straight into the back of the taishi chair, shattering it into pieces that flew out in all directions!

  Green bamboo pierced through his throat and died on the spot! A pool of black blood flowed all over the house, and a rusty smell filled the room instantly.

  The women in the house had never seen such a bloody scene, and someone immediately screamed. The timid third lady even fainted on the spot!

  The house was suddenly thrown into chaos! The people in the room were frightened and at a loss, screaming as they rushed around in all directions.

  Su Mojin felt a chill run down her spine, her heart racing wildly. She turned to see Qing Zhu's eyes wide open in death, the dart having pierced her neck, its icy tip stained with blood. Su Mojin's chest heaved with nausea.

  "Ugh——"

  "Miss——"

  Jin Er

  After two anxious cries, Su Mu Jin felt a warmth on his body and was covered with a cloak that had been warmed by someone's body temperature. The warm breath carried a faint fragrance that instantly masked the smell of blood!

  "Everyone, quiet!" The calm and powerful words of Father came from the darkness, causing the noisy room to suddenly fall silent. "Bi Yu, Song Niangniang, you two send Old Lady back to her room to rest. Everyone from each house should go back first. There must be someone behind today's incident, I will go to the Yamen to report the case and let the Yamen official thoroughly investigate this matter!"

  Su Mojin calmed down, but her heart sank!

  She can be sure that Green Bamboo was sent by Liu to harm her, but with Liu's abilities, she absolutely doesn't believe that Liu has such a powerful and skilled person under his command, otherwise she would have died countless times already!

  So, who is the mastermind behind this assassin?!
