three years ago.
Five-year-old Amo is playing hide and seek.
She made an appointment with her mother. If her mother could not find her within an hour, she would hold her to watch her father blacksmith.
However, unexpectedly, she didn't wait for her mother to come to her, and her mother seemed to have a quarrel with someone outside. Amo, who was hiding in the cabinet, wanted to go out to have a look, but soon, there was an exclamation from outside, followed by a commotion. Before she could go out, someone had already entered the room and whispered:
"Search. Search the whole area for me, don't leave anyone alive."
Amo was so frightened that she shrank in the corner of the cabinet, and soon there was the sound of rummaging through the cabinet. The quilt was lifted and the mattress pushed aside. The curtains were carefully searched, and the wardrobe in the corner was naturally not let go.
Not long after, the wardrobe door was opened.
Outside was a young maid about twenty-five years old, who was slightly surprised when she saw Amo.
Amo tightly covered her mouth, looking at her in horror, trembling.
This scene lasted for about a second, and the voice from outside sounded again:
"Have you finished searching?"
The maid quickly made a silent gesture to Amo, then closed the door of the cabinet, and said to the outside as if nothing happened:
"The search is over, and there is no one in the house."
Amo heard the footsteps getting closer, and the two stood talking not far from the cabinet.
A man's voice came in:
"Your name is Xueyin, right? You have seen the scene just now. Carissa is dead, and now only the two of us know about it. Once it is revealed, you and I will be inseparable. Now I I want you to do something for me, understand?"
The maid named Xueyin replied respectfully:
"Yes, Lord Xiutz."
Showz continued:
"Carissa's death can't be hidden. The mansion is such a big place, and it can be found out after an investigation. The only way is to plant this matter on Liushi. After all, he is just an outsider. As long as we don't stay It’s too obvious evidence, I’ll just say hello to my father and just dump the blame on him. So you don’t have to be afraid, just do what I tell you.”
Xueyin replied:
"The servants are all under the orders of Master Xiuzi."
Showz said:
"Okay. You are about the same size as Carissa, and your appearance and voice are somewhat similar. I want you to change into Carissa's clothes now, and then lie down on the bed and pretend to sleep. When Liushi comes back later, you Turn over on purpose and make some noise to let him understand the fact that [Carissa is sleeping in the room]. He will fall into a state of madness during the forging period, and you can knock him unconscious at that time, Ka Lisa's body is now burning in the forging pit. You have never seen him go into that crazy state, looking like he is going to kill, and when he wakes up, he remembers that there was only him and [Carrie] in the room. Sha] Two people, if I think about my dissatisfaction with Carissa during this period of time, I will probably think that Carissa killed herself. Even if he has any doubts, he is the only one here when the guards come, and we will forcibly hold the blame on On his head, he can't argue with a hundred words."
Xueyin was silent for a while, then said:
"After the slave...?"
Xiuzi said without hesitation:
"From now on, you will be the woman by my side. You don't have to do hard work anymore, just enjoy yourself with me."
Xueyin hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said:
"Slave, thank you Lord Xiuzi."
Amo just stayed in the cabinet, she was already sensible and knew what happened outside.
Several times, she wished she could rush out immediately and die with the villain who killed her mother.
But she knew she couldn't.
So she followed Xueyin's instructions and covered her mouth, not daring to breathe.
What happened after that was basically completely under Xiutz's control.
The only difference is that he didn't let Xueyin live. After Xueyin knocked Liushi unconscious, she wanted to escape from this place, but Xiuzi was already waiting for her at the door. Seeing Xiuzi walking towards her, Xueyin's voice trembled a little, and she asked Xiuzi to take her out of this place quickly, but Xiuzi responded to her with a palm that was caught off guard and pushed her down the fire pit.
"There is still a loophole in this plan, that is, it has been several hours since I pushed Carissa down, and it has been calcined for a long time, and Carissa's body has become ashes without a trace. This is not like What just happened at the [Crime Scene], in order for everything to be perfect, a woman similar to her must die now. Don’t blame me, Xueyin. Some things, the less people know, the better... "
And then, it's something everyone knows.
Liu Shi had no doubts at all, and took the initiative to take the blame. This is actually a coincidence. The sword he was smelting was buried in the forging pit. After Xiuzi pushed Xueyin down, Xueyin's blood and soul were all burned into the sword, which made his research advance by leaps and bounds. progress. Liushi didn't know that the person who died was Xueyin, and during that time he mistakenly thought that Karissa was cheating, and had some bad thoughts several times. Seeing that his research had made an unprecedented breakthrough, he naturally thought that he was the one who took Karissa. Sha's life in exchange.
As for Xueyin, it's easy to handle. After all, she is not of Ji Hirata's blood, and if she disappears, not many people will pay attention.
In Xiuzi's view, once Xueyin died, the only person who knew about this incident was himself.
Liu Shi was exiled from the house, and everything went according to his own plan.
But what he never imagined was that during the period when he finished setting up the scene and went to his father for help, Xueyin quietly opened the cabinet and let Amo, who was eavesdropping the whole time, go. Xueyin didn't explain the reason to her at the time, but Amo later understood that she was a smart maid and knew that she would not escape the end of death. Resisting is death, obeying obediently is also death. In the huge Ji Hirata Mansion, she has no possibility of surviving.
So she let Amo go and let her go, so that one day, she would be able to tell the truth.
Amo, who was only five years old, wiped away her tears, pretended nothing happened and ran away to Naru. Naru didn't know it at this time. Seeing that Amo was depressed, he tried to tell her old jokes to make her happy.
The scream pierced the silence in the mansion, Naru left Amo and ran towards the forging pit. Everyone ran towards the forging pit, leaving only Amo standing there alone, with the clear sky above her head.
That day, Amo clenched her tiny fists, her fingernails pierced into the tender flesh, and traces of blood flowed down her fingers.
She looked at the crowd running like a normal person, pretending to be ignorant.
But silently swore in his heart.
Since then, hatred and hatred have been deeply buried in her heart, and she wants to pull this son of the family down from the clouds high above, no matter what difficulties and obstacles she faces, no matter how long it takes, even if she is alone, even if she is only a child this year... small child.
She wants to avenge her mother with her own hands.
