ARDA - Chapter 109 - I didn't kill him

 Zhao Da's eyes rolled twice, his heart full of calculations.

Jiang Mengyue's pretty face was full of disgust, and she shouted coldly, "If you don't hurry up and get things done, why did you call me here? Do you think I have a good temper and will tolerate you again and again?"

"No, no, of course not..." Zhao Da lowered his posture and smiled flatteringly.

"Miss Jiang, I have thought about it carefully and want to settle in the capital and make a living here."

Jiang Mengyue opened her eyes wide after hearing this, as if she had heard wrongly, and her face was full of disbelief.

"What did you say?"

Zhao Da scratched his head, "After all, we are also your family. If we settle down in the capital, we can run errands for you... which will also be good for you."

Jiang Mengyue's ears were buzzing, and she wanted to go up and scratch Zhao Da's face.

What nonsense is he talking about?

What family?

She was a high-ranking daughter of the Marquis family, with a noble birth. She only had Marquis Jiang and Madam Lin as parents, so how could she be related to the farmers!

"Stop talking nonsense!" Jiang Mengyue shouted angrily, her face cold.

"What family? Who do you think you are? How dare you involve me!"

Zhao Da shrank his neck and whispered, "Yes, I was wrong. Those of us from humble backgrounds certainly don't dare to have casual relationships. However, I would like to ask Miss Jiang to do a favor and help me in the capital." 

Zhao Da was thinking about finding a job and marrying a young lady in the capital.

The women in the capital are much more beautiful than the girls in the village, and they are also gentle and delicate.

Jiang Mengyue was trembling with anger.

"Heh heh!"

Still want a job? What a big face!

"Zhao Da, what are you thinking about? Do you still want to stay in the capital?" Jiang Mengyue's eyes could shoot out the blades, and she sneered twice, "Don't even think about it! Hurry up and finish what I ordered. When it is done,  I will give you another thousand taels. Go back as soon as possible and don't set foot in the capital again!"

Normally, Zhao Da would definitely have his eyes straightened when he heard one thousand taels.

You will definitely have no time to think and nod in agreement.

But these days, with the money given by Jiang Mengyue, he traveled around freely, tried many restaurants, and slept in the soft bed. After tasting the prosperity of the capital, he now looked down on the shabby life in the village.

No matter how good a thousand taels are, it's still no better than a job in the capital!

Besides, if they stay in the capital, they will have the daughter of the Marquis’ family to protect them. Wouldn’t this life be free and happy?

"Miss Jiang, you can't say that. I stay in the capital to work for you. Isn't that a good thing." Zhao Da smiled ingratiatingly and rubbed his hands.

Jiang Mengyue had the urge to kill the person in front of her.

Heh heh. Good thing?

It should be troublesome.

As long as the Zhao family stayed in the capital, she couldn't feel at ease. If it weren't for Jiang Ning's reputation, she wouldn't have come specifically to find them. 

Zhao Da spoke "Arranging a job should be a trivial matter for Miss Jiang. I don't want to do anything. I just want to get an official job."

"Heh!" Jiang Mengyue sneered and spoke sarcastically. "What you think is beautiful!"

"I'm warning you for the last time, don't think too much, otherwise you won't even have a thousand taels! You'll have to walk around without food!"

Jiang Mengyue made cold remarks.

The flattering smile on Zhao Da's face froze. He begged for help in a low voice, but Miss Jiang ridiculed him, as if he was an ant on the ground, dismissing him and not paying attention at all.

He slowly straightened up and looked at the person in front of him.

"Miss Jiang, you can't speak so harshly..."

He had already made up his mind to stay in the capital, and smiled coldly, "Don't forget, not only do we have a handle on that girl Jiang Ning we also have a handle on you."

"What do you mean by this?" Jiang Mengyue's face darkened.]

Zhao Da sneered, "As long as I tell that you are not the real daughter of the Marquis Mansion, but a dove occupying the magpie's nest, let's see what people in the capital will say. Do you think you can still be the daughter of the Marquis Mansion safely?"

Jiang Mengyue's face turned livid.

She thought about the shamelessness of the Zhao family, but she didn't expect that they would dare to have such thoughts.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Are you threatening me?"

Zhao Da quickly waved his hand, "Of course not. How dare I have such thoughts! I just want to ask Miss Jiang to do a little favor and find a job. This will be good for both of us."

Jiang Mengyue was extremely angry and laughed.

He laughed out loud at Zhao Da's shamelessness.

It seemed that asking the Zhao family was not a wise choice. She was confused because she was too busy dragging that woman Jiang Ning into trouble, so she didn't think carefully.

She felt cold in her heart. It seemed that the Zhao family could no longer stay. Sooner or later, she would get burned and she would have to drive them away quickly.

Jiang Mengyue sneered twice, tossed her sleeves and left.

"Wait! Miss Jiang..."

Zhao Da stopped Jiang Mengyue and blocked the door, "Miss Jiang, this matter is settled. You help me find a job, and I will deal with that dead girl Jiang Ning for you!"

"This is the last time I ask you for help, really the last time!"

Zhao Da was afraid of making Jiang Mengyue angry. If she left, who would help him get a job?

I will have to rely on Miss Jiang in the future.

Jiang Mengyue was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "Get away!"

"Miss Jiang..." Zhao Da went to pull Jiang Mengyue's sleeves, not wanting her to go. Jiang Mengyue's scalp was numb. How dare a pariah want to touch her? 

This push was done with enough strength.

Zhao Da was afraid of hurting the delicate daughter of the Marquis family, so he didn't dare to use force. Jiang Mengyue pushed him backwards.

Then he stepped on the round candied haws that fell to the ground, his foot slipped and he fell backwards.

Bam!

The back of Zhao Da's head hit the table and fell softly to the ground.

Eyes wide with shock.

"You..." He opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but no words came out.

Blood gushes out and gradually wets the ground.

Jiang Mengyue was so frightened that she almost lost her wits, her face turned pale, "Zhao Da..." she shouted weakly, and saw the bright red blood gushing out from the back of Zhao Da's head. Zhao Da lay motionless on the ground.

Zhao Da is dead...

She was pushed to death.

Jiang Mengyue felt cold all over and was shaking constantly.

She didn't want to kill Zhao Da. This was her first time killing someone. She was so scared that her vision turned black and she almost fainted.

"Zhao Da..." Jiang Mengyue walked over with trembling steps, stepped on blood, and took a few steps back in shock.

"No no!"

Jiang Mengyue turned around and left quickly, lowering her hood.

No, she didn't kill anyone.

This matter has nothing to do with her! 

The door of the inn.

Jiang Mengyue hurriedly got on the carriage.

Hongzhu saw that her young lady was pale and in a daze, so she couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"Let's go back home." Jiang Mengyue said in a trembling voice.

"Yes."

The carriage drove slowly back to the Marquis Mansion.

Jiang Mengyue locked herself in the room, trembling all over and turning pale.

"I didn't kill him...he fell to death himself..."

If anyone knew that she had killed someone, she would never be able to gain a foothold in the capital!

No, no one will know.

Because no one saw it at all.
