Capítulo 6: 06. The truth is slowly coming out
She stared at his face and knew he really meant it. She suddenly tried to crawl towards him but soldiers held her on a place as she cried almost heartbrokenly. But seeing that nothing changed she rose her eyes and saw just pure coldness and disinterest. How is this possible.
He smirked seeing her surprised face. ''Oh, you are playing tricks on me? I am almost there a time your age. What women didn't I see in my life? You are just a small concubine from the side room that became greedy. Your grievances you should keep for Kang's people. I am immune to people like you. If you don't speak I will start with torture.'' He straightened up his back and gave the order. ''Bring the children!''
Hearing that she started shaking. The three children she gave birth last few years were knocked out and lifelessly laid in hands of soldiers. They carried the children in their hands like sacs of flour. One of the soldiers put the fist child in front of her face and then in front of LordKa's feet.
Seeing him raising his arm with the dagger into the air she started screaming. That was the only son her husband had so he will be later inheritor of the name. ''No not him. No no no.''
Lord Ka pushed the child on the side and pointed at the two cute girls. ''What about the two of them. I will fist dig their eyes, cut their faces and tongue and let them live like that for the rest of their life. Is that fine with you?''
By now most of the concubines already fainted while the few left were green. Neither they could faint or escape this hell. The older women held their breath as they saw him rising his feet towards the boy. ''You know what. As you are struggling, let me stop. I'll just kill all three of them. And then rip you in tiny pieces. You and children are anyway not in the family book. So what's the point. This boy can live anyway the rest of his life only as concubines born.''
He turned the site around and she could clearly see the place where Shu Ya's and Bei Zhenzhen's name were erased. But her name and her children were not even signed in. She turned her eyes towards the women and they just rolled their eyes. ''You are concubine born. We can't have you as an official main wife. You can have full power in the household, but the main wife, impossible.''
She started laughing. ''Then in that case, I have neither something to win or to lose. My children are not even signed as his children. As a concubine, I don't need even to divorce. Lord Ka, I will talk and even give you evidence. But I need you to promise me three things.'' Her back straightens up and her face became serious.
Lord Ka straightened up his back and nodded. ''It is not something overboard then I will make it true.''
She just shook her head. ''No. I can prove to you that I had nothing to do with this. Actually, I can even prove that I have been threatened with my children. Yes, I am greedy, but not to that extend. Lady Bai was good to me. I wouldn't do such thing to someone who saved my son multiple times.''
Lord Ko just waited that she continues.
''My son was sickly since birth and the only medicine that Lady Bai concocted helped him survive. She used some rare medicine for him and to be ungrateful to that kind of person is bad karma. To tell you truth I had no idea what happened at that time. Later on, I heard about that case and tried to talk to them but they told me they wanted to kick her out of the house as she had outside affair. But even that information was wrong. Lady Bai died last year. Since then I have been forbidden even to get close to Shu Ya. I am a woman in the inner courtyard. Can I leave without their permission? But in the last year, I gathered clues. Just a few days ago I found the last clues and was about to use it against them.'' She saw him raising his eyebrow and chuckled.
''No. I didn't wish to become the main wife. It was their idea. I actually wanted just a lot of money and an escape plan. If they do that to a child of the first wife, what will they do to my children? So I beg you, Lord. I want to escape from here, a new name, a new place to live with my children and some money to start a new life. Please.'' She just deeply bowed while deadly silence enveloped them.
Suddenly the older woman jumped up and was about to pull on her hair. ''If you say just one thing I will kill you!'' Like a fury, she rose her hand and was about to slap her when the soldier held her hand and pushed her back to the group of women on the side.
''Shut up, shut up, shut up!'' The old woman screeched while trying again to attack the kneeling woman.
Lord Ko just made a sign and the soldier hit her neck and an old woman fainted. His expressionless face turned towards her. ''Speak now. If you told truth I will help you. But if you withhold any information I will punish you with the lot.'' He pointed at shaking women standing on the side.
She just shrugged. ''I know. I am not that stupid. My children matter more to me than you think.''
Lord Ka pushed the little boy with a hand towards her and she picked him up and laid on her lap then she looked at the two girls and they were carefully put so their head was on her lap.
Looking at the three cute children's real smile appeared on her face and she started telling.
''Last year, when the Bai family was expelled from the capital to guard borders, there was a huge commotion in the family. They started attacking her from one day to another. Then suddenly the forbade us talking to her or going to her replace.'' She wrinkled her eyebrows as she spoke. ''As a concubine, I knew my duties so I stealthily went couple times and saw the strange situation.''
Her eyes darted towards the woman on the floor. ''Main madam, the mother of our husband came one morning and started arguing with miss Bai. At first, I had no idea what was it about but then I realized and almost escaped back. Unfortunately, I couldn't as many of their servants were in the garden near the only door out their dormitory so I had to continue to listen.''
The women on the side started quivering as they realized what was about to be said.
