Chapter 221 Concubine Hu Opens Her Heart
Concubine Hu’s expression briefly revealed a hint of surprise.
"Indeed, the Princess has already uncovered quite a bit, it truly is Tu River! She leaped into it from Qin Garden... A living life, just like that, and the Princess Consort Residence hushed it up with silver, so not even my sister’s body was retrieved from the water."
"When I went to recover her body, it was already gnawed to pieces."
"So, you want to use this method to ensure that Xiang Zhang also dies with no body left intact, correct?" Chu Baihan frowned, asking in a resolute tone.
"Exactly. I want him to suffer a fate worse than death, and I want the people of Xiang Family’s Princess Consort Residence to grieve beyond consolation!" Concubine Hu spoke furiously.
Her originally beautiful face was so distorted by hatred at that moment.
Taking a deep breath, she continued: "I took out all the remainder of my silver and bribed the father and son of the Hu Family to cover for me. We three posed as out-of-towners in the capital to do business and frequented the inn that Xiang Zhang often visited..."
"Indeed, everything happened as I had anticipated. Xiang Zhang is a beast who loses his senses at the sight of women; he coveted me and then attempted to abduct me. In the process, he didn’t hesitate to injure my two fake brothers."
"If you had already made your way into the Princess Consort Residence, why then order someone to kill the father and son of the Hu Family?" Chu Baihan asked gravely.
"Does the Princess believe I was responsible for their deaths?" Concubine Hu’s tone rose slightly.
