Chapter 1559: Netherworld, Other Shore Flower 34
Those were the voices of the two people talking beside her.
She remembered who those two were, so not long after she discovered she was still alive, she killed them.
That day, three guests came to the house.
The one left over, naturally, was that landlord.
She had always thought the one who carried her away was that landlord.
Her own official had long since been forced drunk by them and lay paralyzed on the table.
That day, when she was struggling desperately in her daze, what she unintentionally touched was a Jade Pendant.
The pattern carved on it was strange, because it was the design of a Jade Flute.
She tried to use that Jade Pendant to smash the man’s head, but just as she yanked it off, she was discovered.
Her fingernails scraped directly across that Jade Pendant.
Leaving a scratch on it.
Look, three years later.
That Jade Pendant she had scratched while struggling was in her official’s hand.
Look, when her official heard her voice, he was that terrified.
In his eyes there was nothing but fear, only fear.
She could not find a trace of her official’s love for her.
The official in front of her was utterly unfamiliar.
So much so that Hu Rou began to doubt.
Could it be that her memories of these three years were somewhat confused, and she had forgotten what her own official actually looked like?
So that she had mistaken someone else for him?
No, that couldn’t be. It was him.
A flicker of confusion flashed in Hu Rou’s emotionless eyes.
Hu Rou spoke.
"That day when people came to the house, you sent Hu Rou out to drink with them—was that on purpose?
You agreed to those three men defiling Hu Rou’s purity as well?"
Her gaze was a little empty.
Those things that had seemed to support her to go on living were collapsing one by one.
And across from her, this official seemed to have his nerves somewhat unhinged.
Perhaps this woman’s voice was too similar to Hu Rou’s.
Or perhaps, in the three years since Hu Rou’s death, he had been tormented day after day.
He grew extremely agitated, staring fixedly at Hu Rou.
His eyes were full of disdain and contempt, and the earlier fear was gradually diminishing in this show of aggression.
He spoke.
"Don’t think I don’t know what you did.
You despised me for being poor, despised me for being useless.
You were so wanton with this landlord and that landlord—wasn’t it just because you wanted to seduce them??
Fine, I satisfied you.
After I satisfied you, weren’t you happy??
Why do you still come looking for me every single day??!!
Can’t you let me live one good day?!"
The man’s face twisted, and his voice suddenly rose.
Then he continued to roar.
"Your death has nothing to do with me! It was all your own doing!
It was the consequence of your own cheap behavior!
Don’t come entangling me again in the future!
Don’t haunt me anymore!"
By the end, the man’s voice was almost a scream.
It seemed only like this could he shake off the fear in his heart.
And Hua Qian’er, who had been cooking, heard the noise and immediately ran over.
She hurriedly wrapped her arms around the man.
"Official, official! Hu Rou is already dead!!
She can’t possibly come back again! Don’t worry, she won’t despise you anymore. I’ll always stay with you, I won’t despise you, official."
Hua Qian’er held him.
It seemed only after a long time that the man finally calmed down.
Once he caught his breath, he began to look around.
"Where’s my Jade Pendant? Where’s my Jade Pendant??"
Hua Qian’er hurriedly picked up the Jade Pendant from the ground.
"Here, here it is."
The man let out a sigh of relief as he gripped the Jade Pendant.
After a long while, he said one line:
"She may have been a calamity, but at least at the moment of her death she did something useful.
At least she traded this antique Jade Pendant for me."
