Part 1: A Dream Within A Dream / Rebirth of Ill Fated Concubine

Chapter 016 Murder Part 1

Chunying immediately stood up and frowned as she looked at Chen Zhao in front of her. After not seeing him for a few days, Chen Zhao looked haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his lips were cracked. Chunying paused, and said, "You are here."

Chen Zhao sat down on a stool in Chunying's room, picked up the teapot on the table and drank it. Chunying wanted to stop him, but she held back. A trace of impatience flashed in her eyes, and she asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Chen Zhao had just sent silver two days ago, so he was definitely not here to act as a god of wealth, but she didn't know what he was doing.

Chen Zhao did not answer Chunying's words, but wiped his mouth and sneered: "You are a lowly maid, but you can afford the best Junshan Yinzhen. You really don't mind spending the money given by the master!"

Chunying was vain and hated her background the most in her life. Chen Zhao's words at this moment were like rubbing salt into her wounds. Chunying immediately became angry. She rolled her eyes and laughed instead: "Yes, I am a lowly maid, but what is the master? Do you really think of yourself as a young master of a rich family? Or do you think that as long as you have Miss Jiang, you can climb into the Shangshu Mansion?"

Chen Zhao's face sank. Chunying revealed his thoughts in one sentence, and the words were so harsh.

Chunying ignored his expression and continued: "We are all the same. As slaves and maids, we all have to look at the master's face. Besides, didn't the master give the money to the slave willingly? Or do you think your future is not worth this little money?"

"You..." Chen Zhao clenched his fists and squeezed out a few words from his teeth: "Don't go too far."

"You are bullying me, right?" Chunying walked to Chen Zhao with a smile, and her jade arms slowly climbed up Chen Zhao's neck: "But what exactly are you here for today?"

Chen Zhao was intoxicated by Chunying's rich beauty fragrance, and he was a little distracted for a while, but his attitude softened: "Don't come on, I'm here to tell you today that I'm not a fool, and it's impossible for you to follow me for a lifetime. We should settle things, after all, this is a matter of mutual consent."

Chunying tightened her hand, leaving a bright red nail mark on Chen Zhao's neck. She smiled slowly and said, "Did you eat it and want to deny it? We both agreed? It's obvious that you forced me to do it. We have never had any dealings on weekdays. Everyone in the village can testify. If you say that we both agreed, do you think the adults will believe you in court?"

Chen Zhao knew that it would be difficult to convince her with these words, so he gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want?" Chunying's eyes moved around Chen Zhao.

She knew that although Chen Zhao had some money, most of his wealth was still in Zhang Lan's hands. Zhang Lan must not know about this. Zhang Lan was a powerful person, and it was not certain who would suffer the loss. If Chen Zhao was a cash cow, there would always be a day when he would be squeezed dry.

It would be better to be clean and make a lot of money. Thinking of this, Chunying's voice softened again: "I am not unreasonable. We are acquainted with each other. How can I bear to force you to death? After all, you have taken my body. After this, who will want me in the future? You must give me some compensation so that I can have a place to stay and survive after I am released from the manor."

She gently pressed her delicate jade fingers on Chen Zhao's forehead: "There is a three-story house in Shilipu, East Street. You can buy it for me. After buying it, we will go our own way and no one owes anyone anything."

"You are crazy," Chen Zhao jumped up before Chunying finished speaking and shook off Chunying's hand on him: "East Street is worth a lot of money. A three-story house will cost at least thousands of taels of silver. How can I afford it? You think too highly of yourself. You think you are a popular girl in Yihonglou and you can make thousands of gold a night!"

Chunying laughed instead of getting angry: "My body is certainly not as good as the girls in Yihonglou, but in your eyes, your future can only be bought with a few thousand taels of silver. Don't you think you are too self-deprecating?"

"What do you want to do?" Chen Zhao asked.

"This is already the biggest concession I have made. You don't have to agree to me. Let's meet in court in the future!" Chunying looked at him coldly.

Chen Zhao was furious and smashed the teapot on the table with a 'bang': "Don't go too far!"

"Chen Zhao!" Chunying looked at him relentlessly: "Are you going to give it to me or not?"

Chen Zhao's face turned red with anger. He had heard about Chunying's arrogance and shamelessness, but he didn't expect that once he was entangled by her, he would end up in the current situation. A few days ago, he had a big quarrel with Zhang Lan after selling the land. Now Zhang Lan has locked up all the house deeds and land deeds in the house. He can't do anything, but Chunying is still pressing step by step. He has been penniless for a long time and has reached the end of the road.

Chen Zhao looked up at Chunying, who looked at him sarcastically, with a dazzling smile, and the red rouge marks on the corners of her mouth like a death warrant.

Such a greedy beauty, once she opens her mouth, there will be no day to be satisfied, so this time is not the end, if she dies, it will be good, if there is no Chunying in the world, he won't have to be as embarrassed as now.

Chunying was thinking about her own calculations complacently, and didn't notice that the other party's eyes were red. When she understood, she had been thrown to the ground by Chen Zhao viciously.

She just wanted to scream, but Chen Zhao had covered her mouth and nose. Chunying struggled desperately, but a woman's strength was no match for a man anyway.

"Go to hell! Bitch!" Chen Zhao had lost his mind and laughed wildly.

Chunying could only hold Chen Zhao's hands tightly, staring with eyes wide open, kicking her legs desperately, and her body gradually softened during the struggle, and finally she died.

Chen Zhao let go of her hands, and Chunying's eyes widened at him, showing a terrifying weirdness. Chen Zhao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came to his senses. He actually killed someone!

He staggered back, then carefully stretched out his hand to test Chunying's nose, and then sat down on the ground, his whole body couldn't help shaking.

After panicking for half an hour, Chen Zhao finally calmed down gradually. He thought about it, and suddenly sneered and spat on Chunying's face: "Bitch, I told you not to go against me!"

Then he lifted Chunying's body, took out a big cloth bag in the house, put Chunying in it, and quietly went out.

But when Chen Zhao was doing these things, he never thought that there was a pair of eyes in the dark watching his every move. He thought that his killing was perfect, but it was all seen by others.
