Chapter 208 The Kang Family Came to Report the Death
"Sister, I'll listen to you! I guess they sensed the danger, so they hid themselves. Who knows, they might come out again after a while."
Campbell said to Xiao Kang with bright eyes.
Xiaokang felt extremely sad. Her silly brother didn't know yet that those people would never appear again. They were probably being locked up in the big prison cell of the Imperial City Bureau and might even be being tortured.
It is also possible that the people from the Imperial City Bureau have already interrogated him and are about to go to the Kang family to arrest him.
Thinking of this, Xiaokang immediately sorted out her confused thoughts. She absolutely could not let her husband, son and daughter be affected, and she could not let the Marquis' Mansion fall into danger.
So...she had no choice but to give up Campbell.
Almost in an instant, Xiao Kang made up her mind. After listening to what Campbell said, she nodded hopefully and said, "Maybe it's true!"
"Have some tea first. When the butler brings your clothes over later, you can change into them. I'll ask him to take you back." Xiao Kang handed him the cup of water.
Cornwallis would not doubt him, and his sister always took good care of him.
"Okay! I'll have to find a doctor when I get back. I think I drank too much and my head feels heavy."
He took the cup and drank it all in two gulps, then took the teapot and poured himself two more cups. Only after drinking them all did he feel his thirst quenched.
"Drink less alcohol in the future to avoid feeling uncomfortable." Xiaokang's voice was a little hoarse when she said this.
But at this moment, Campbell didn't notice her abnormality and just nodded in response.
"By the way, take these two hundred taels of silver and give the money to mother when you go back." Xiao Kang gave the silver note to Campbell.
Campbell wanted to refuse, but his head became more dizzy, so he grabbed the banknote in his hand, closed his eyes and rested.
When Xiaokang saw him like this, her eyes began to get hot again.
This is her own brother, and she just let him drink that deadly stuff.
"Brother, I'm sorry!" Xiao Kang said in a low voice.
"Hmm? What are you talking about, sister? I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to take a nap first." Campbell responded to her.
Seeing this, Xiaokang let him fall asleep first and got out of the carriage.
"Let's send Uncle Kang home." Xiao Kang said.
The old butler nodded and drove the carriage into the rain again.
When Xiaokang saw the carriage going away, she could no longer control herself and burst into tears. Her cries were drowned out by the sound of the rain and could not be heard at all.
Nanny Ji helped Xiao Kang into the house and repeatedly persuaded her, "Second Madam, don't cry! Nothing happened to us."
Xiao Kang knew she couldn't cry, but she was too sad.
She actually killed her most beloved younger brother with her own hands. How could she face her family in the future?
Aunt Xu came over, glanced at Xiao Kang, and said, "Send the Second Madam back to her own courtyard first. She can cry however she wants after she returns."
The two men supported the weak Xiaokang and returned to her own yard.
The rain had not stopped yet and it did not stop until the evening when it became a little lighter.
Su Qingwan stayed in her own yard the whole day and didn't even go there for dinner, but she sent someone to Helin Courtyard to tell her mother and father.
When Shanhu came back holding an umbrella, she said to Su Qingwan, "Miss, when I went there, I happened to catch the Third Madam having dinner. Aunt Zhao made some healthy yam porridge, and the Third Madam asked me to bring it back for you to try."
She was holding a lunch box in her hand, and Linxiang went over to help take out the contents of the box.
"Is my mother the only one having meal? Where is my father?" Su Qingwan asked casually.
It's raining so hard today, her father can't go out to meet his friends.
"The third master is not here. I asked Aunt Rong and she said he didn't come back last night. Maybe he was delayed by something." Shanhu said.
Su Qingwan stirred the yam porridge, her face looked normal, but emotions were surging in her eyes.
……
The next day, the sky cleared up and the sun shone brightly.
Su Qingwan led the maids towards Helin Courtyard. Along the way, they were talking about how the courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion looked even greener after the rain.
"Miss, look, the flowers are in bloom, so beautiful." Coral pointed to an orchid and said with a smile.
Su Qingwan looked at the flower and found it was really beautiful with its elegant color.
"It's quite beautiful. I'll meet my mother later, so it's a good opportunity for us to enjoy it together." Su Qingwan said.
"Okay! Then I'll make some flower-themed snacks and make scented tea for the young lady." When Coral talked about playing, she was very interested.
A few people chatted and laughed as they walked into Helin Courtyard, but before Su Qingwan had gone far, they heard hurried footsteps behind them.
"Miss!" Qing shouted, and at the same time a figure rushed in front of her.
"what's up?"
Su Qingwan saw that his face had an expression of 'ask me quickly', so she asked directly.
"The Kang family came to report the death, saying that the second wife's younger brother suddenly had a high fever and died." Qing Da said immediately.
So fast?
Su Qingwan was surprised!
She thought that the young Kang and the old Kang would find it difficult to make a decision, but she didn't expect them to be so straightforward and kill Campbell directly.
These two women from the Kang family are so cruel. Their behavior makes Su Qingwan think of things from her previous life.
At that time, after the third branch of the family returned to the Marquis' Mansion, Xiao Kang always mentioned Campbell in front of her mother, and revealed her idea of letting him learn how to do business, while Lao Kang hinted at this to her mother.
Finally, my mother spoke to her family, and the Jiang family agreed to take Campbell into business for my mother's sake.
Everyone thought that was the end of it, but Campbell was a money-minded man.
After he entered the Jiang family's shop, he was ungrateful and took risks for his own selfish interests, selling inferior products as good ones and making a lot of profits from it.
Later, what Campbell had done was discovered by his uncle, but because they were relatives, his uncle did not do anything to him. He just drove him away, and even the hole he had created was filled up by the Jiang family.
Otherwise, if this matter was reported to the government office, Campbell would definitely be imprisoned.
But Conbery was unwilling to be let go. He helped King Qi and opposed the Jiang family everywhere, causing the Jiang family to suffer considerable losses.
Later, when the Jiang family was framed and imprisoned, he stood up and gave false testimony, causing all the Jiang family members to be executed.
Although Campbell is just a pawn used by others, without him there will be others who will cooperate and be used by King Rui, but in Su Qingwan's opinion, Campbell deserves to die!
I just didn't expect that he would die so soon, and die at the hands of Old Kang and Young Kang.
"Oh, the world is unpredictable! Why did I get a high fever?" Su Qingwan said with emotion.
Now that Campbell had died, Xiao Kang naturally had to go back to see him. Old Kang was the elder, so he just asked Xiao Kang to convey the message.
Xiao Kang cried all the way back to the Kang family. She looked extremely haggard, but the Kang family just thought she was too sad.
