Phi-Fic Chapter 161 The End of February
Chapter 161 The End of February
February's loud shouting finally attracted the attention of everyone in the distance.
Seeing that everyone was about to come over here, Rong Enqing didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he winked at Nanny Gong.
Madam Gong took two steps forward and stretched out her hand to pinch Er Yue's neck. I don't know what she did, but Er Yue suddenly became silent. Her mouth was still moving, but all the sounds disappeared in her throat.
She widened her eyes in horror, but only saw Rong Enqing's resolute back.
Before everyone gathered around, Nanny Gong dragged Er Yue away.
"This is the bag that the Madam has asked someone to pack for you. It contains the silver you have saved over the years, as well as the fifty taels of silver that the Madam gave you. Take this silver back to the countryside. It will be enough for you to live a good life for the rest of your life."
Nanny Gong personally escorted Eryue out of the Marquis' Mansion and took the bag from Nanshan and handed it to Eryue.
February, who had regained his voice, did not speak this time. He just took the bag silently and turned away.
Just as she was about to turn the corner, she turned around and looked in the direction of the Marquis' Mansion, a look that was full of hatred.
The two people who had been standing at the door and watching February leave saw February's expression.
"Madame Gong, is it really okay to let her go so easily?" Nanshan couldn't help but worry.
When she first entered the Marquis' Mansion, what she envied most were Meixiang and Eryue, who could serve the Madam Dowager personally. At that time, she even aspired to replace them one day and become the top maidservant beside the Madam Dowager.
But now, Sister Meixiang is married, and Eryue is forced to leave the Marquis' Mansion.
When Nanny Gong asked her to help pack Eryue's things, she thought she would feel sad for Eryue when she saw her.
But the reality was that the fierce and sinister Er Yue in front of her made her feel no sympathy for her. Looking at the hatred in Er Yue's eyes, she even felt that Er Yue was a hidden danger and should be eliminated as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, I'll have someone keep an eye on her." Madam Gong said calmly, "Let's go back."
Nanshan nodded, turned around and followed Nanny Gong back.
But what Nanshan didn't know was that this would be the last time she saw Eryue.
When I saw February again, she had turned into a corpse.
After leaving the mansion, Er Yue did not go back to look for her family. She knew very well that if her family could sell her once, they could sell her twice. She was now at a good age to get married. If she really went back, she would not only lose the money she had, but also be married off by her family with a high bride price. Therefore, it was impossible for her to go home.
But what should a young girl do with a huge amount of money?
Of course, we need to find a place to stay first.
She had a bonus of 80 taels of silver, which was enough for her to live on in the countryside, but it was far from enough in the capital.
So, in order to save money, she came from the East City where the Marquis' Mansion was located to the West City where the poor lived. She rented a small courtyard in the alley where Yun Luo and her daughter had hidden, and settled down there, then prepared to find some work.
It was here that Yun Luo and her daughter met Nanny Zhang, who used to serve Rong Enqing. Nanny Zhang then sold Yun Luo and her daughter to Jiang, which indirectly led to the death of Yun Luo's biological mother, Li.
It was also here that Eryue met Nanny Zhang.
When Aunt Zhang saw Er Yue, who was raised like a young lady from a wealthy family, appear in West City, her eyes lit up.
At first, Er Yue was very wary of Nanny Zhang, but as she was unfamiliar with the West City, Nanny Zhang enthusiastically visited her several times to reminisce about the past and even helped her find jobs.
As time went by, the two became close again.
The job that Nanny Zhang introduced to Eryue was embroidery, specifically embroidering handkerchiefs.
However, the patterns of the handkerchiefs were all specified by the customers. At first, she was asked to embroider flowers, plants, insects and fish, but gradually, the patterns included more nude women posing in coquettish poses and obscene pictures of men and women making love.
After Er Yue asked further, she found out that the handkerchiefs she embroidered were all sent to Chunxiang Tower in Nancheng.
After that, she became cautious and after a period of tracking and investigation, she found out that Zhang Ma's family was related to Chunxiang Tower.
Nanny Zhang's husband works as a pimp in Chunxianglou, Nanny Zhang's son works as a thug in Chunxianglou, and Nanny Zhang works as a kidnapper, helping Chunxianglou to abduct beautiful young girls.
When Er Yue learned the truth, she was terrified.
However, it was already too late.
When she learned the truth, there were only two options left for her: either marry Nanny Zhang's son and become a trafficker with Nanny Zhang, or be sold to Chunxiang Tower as a prostitute.
Eryue pretended to agree to marry Nanny Zhang's son, but only proposed to hold a wedding and enter the family in a grand manner.
Nanny Zhang and her family all agreed happily.
Er Yue unexpectedly realized that his delaying tactic worked, and he wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but ended up running into the trap set by Nanny Zhang's family.
Because of his escape, Zhang Ma's family was completely enraged. Zhang Ma's family did not give Er Yue any chance. They tied him up and sold him to Chunxianglou that night.
Here, Er Yue cried out to heaven and earth but to no avail. In the end, in order to preserve her only dignity, she stabbed the client to death on the night she was forced to receive him, and then committed suicide.
The client who was stabbed to death was a prominent figure, and Chunxianglou was in trouble. Even the family of Nanny Zhang, who sold Eryue in, did not get any good result.
Everything that happened to Er Yue was within Gong Ma's sight, but she did nothing.
It was not until Er Yue died that Nanny Gong brought Nan Shan to collect Er Yue's body, and by the way, Nanny Zhang and her family of three were sent to spend the rest of their lives in prison.
Nanny Gong did not tell Rong Enqing about what happened in February, and Nanshan also tacitly chose to remain silent.
Until a long time later, Rong Enqing would occasionally talk to people around him about Eryue, not knowing whether she had found her family, whether she was married, or how she was doing.
Unfortunately, no one would give her an answer. She was not obsessed with the answer either. After asking, she smiled and changed the subject.
Of course, these are things to follow.
After seeing Eryue off, when Nanny Gong and Nanshan returned to Baishou Hall, they discovered that there seemed to be guests there.
Upon asking, I found out that the person who came was none other than the second wife, Mrs. Song.
"Is the Second Madam here to take the Fourth Young Lady back home?" Nanshan asked Madam Gong in a low voice while standing in the corridor.
Madam Gong looked towards the main hall, thought for a moment, and shook her head, "Probably not. The Song family's case has not yet come to a conclusion, and the Second Madam will not take the Fourth Young Lady back now."
Nanshan understood, and after thinking for a while he asked again: "Mammy, when will the Song family's case have a result? Will the Second Madam and the Fourth Miss be implicated?"
Madam Gong glanced at Nanshan and said calmly, "Who knows?"
It was obvious that Nanny Gong didn't want to reveal it.
So Nanshan shut his mouth obediently and stopped asking questions.
……
PS: According to the timeline, February's ending should be placed later, but I don't want to arrange other plots for February. So I wrote it all here, and there will be no February later. After all, she is just an insignificant little character.
