I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

However, at this moment, Shi Liu, who had been standing behind Cui Shuyan without moving, suddenly reached out and pulled Cui Shuyan behind her. Then, she snatched the sharp knife from the old woman's hand with one hand and kicked her.

In an instant, the old woman fell heavily to the ground, crying out in pain.

Madam Cui's face turned cold, and she ordered directly: "Come here, stop this ignorant girl! Ah!"

Unfortunately, before she could finish her words, the sharp knife, with its biting coldness, was already across her neck.

This sharp knife was the boning knife she had chosen herself. It was the sharpest one and any slight cut on her neck would be enough to take her life.

She wanted to order Shi Liu to put down the sharp knife in her hand, but seeing the coldness in Shi Liu's eyes, she didn't dare to say a word. She only looked at Cui Shuyan and said with a breath held high: "Cui Shuyan, are you going to kill your mother?"

"How can you be considered my mother?" Cui Shuyan said disdainfully.

Cui Shangjin was panicked, and hurriedly got off the bed, saying in panic: "Shuyan, quickly stop your maid! If you kill your mother, you will be condemned by thousands of people!"

Cui Shuyan sneered.

Indeed, it is not worth it to bear the charge of murder for a rotten person like Mrs. Cui.

Furthermore, it might not be too easy for Mrs. Cui to die with just one blow.

But she did not stop Pomegranate.

He only looked at Cui Shangjin and said indifferently, "Father, are you not panicking now?"

"Shuyan, let your mother go!"

At this moment, Cui Shangjin looked anxious. If you didn’t know, you would think that Madam Cui was his biological mother!

How could she not know Cui Shangjin's plan?

Mrs. Cui's brother now holds a higher official position than Cui Shangjin. Cui Shangjin is not very qualified and his political achievements are mediocre. If he wants to be promoted, he can only rely on the Gao family.

This is how Madam Cui controls Cui Shangjin.

After thinking about all this, what is there for Cui Shuyan to be surprised about?

She looked directly at Madam Cui with a cold expression: "If I kill you, it will be regarded as paying for my mother's life."

After the initial panic, Madam Cui regained some of her rationality. She looked at Cui Shuyan and said firmly: "Cui Shuyan, you don't dare to kill me. You are just pretending!"

"Why does Madam Cui think I don't dare?"

"If you kill someone, you must pay with your life. If you kill me, the Gao family will not let you go, and you will have to pay with your life. Even if you deny it, I am still your nominal mother. The Xie family will not protect you for a crime like matricide. When the time comes, you will not be able to escape death."

"Even if I can't escape death, so what? As the saying goes, the barefoot are not afraid of the ones wearing shoes. It's worth it to exchange my rotten life for your Madam Cui's life!"

"No, you won't. You are now the young lady of the Xie family. You can't give up such wealth."

Cui Shuyan smiled faintly, her eyes sad, "Wealth? Madam Cui, that's strange. Others may not know how I live in Xie's house, but don't you know it in your heart? If marrying into Xie's house really means living a life of wealth, why didn't you let your niece Gao Yuyao go when we were discussing the marriage?"

Madam Cui was at a loss for words: "Anyway, you just don't dare to kill me!"

Cui Shuyan said calmly: "Shi Liu, since Madam Cui said so, you can do it."

Pomegranate was immediately cut into pieces.

In an instant, the sharp blade pierced Mrs. Cui's neck, and blood flowed out.

Feeling the sudden pain, Mrs. Cui immediately reached out to grab the sharp knife, and blood flowed from her hand in an instant.

Even so, she didn't dare to let go, and only shouted at Cui Shuyan: "Cui Shuyan, tell her to stop!"

Cui Shangjin also shouted: "Shuyan, tell your people to stop!"

Cui Shuyan said coldly: "Madam Cui, don't you think I dare not kill you? Now, why are you asking me to stop?"

"Cui Shuyan, you're crazy!"

"Mrs. Cui is right. I am a madman. How can you reason with a madman?"

"Don't, don't kill me! I..." Madam Cui paused for a moment, "I can tell you one thing! If you know this, your life in the Xie Mansion will be much better!"

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Even at this time, Cui Shuyan did not ask Shi Liu to stop, but just stopped using force for the time being.

Madam Cui got a chance to catch her breath and said slowly, "Two years ago, I went to the Xie Mansion to look for your mother-in-law and accidentally discovered that the Xie Mansion was transporting a large amount of soil out."

Cui Shuyan said disdainfully: "That's it?"

"No, listen to me. I originally thought that the Xie Mansion transported a large amount of soil out because they wanted to build ponds. However, from my observation, the number of ponds in the Xie Mansion did not increase after that. Moreover, when the soil was transported out, it was packed in boxes."

Under normal circumstances, there is no need to put the soil into boxes when transporting it out. After all, it is just soil, not something precious.

There is only one possibility for packing the soil into boxes and shipping it out, and that is to hide it from others and not want to be discovered.

Madam Cui took a breath and continued, "I thought it was strange, so I sent someone to follow them. We found that after the soil was transported out, it was directly dumped into the river outside Beijing."

Once it is poured into the river, there will be no trace left.

Although she felt that there was something fishy going on, Cui Shuyan still looked disdainful: "It's just some dirt, I don't know if it's real or not, don't try to fool me with this!"

"No. Your mother-in-law didn't want you to come back today. I just mentioned the mud vaguely, and she agreed. This shows that she has something to hide. As long as you know this, she won't dare to touch you. In this way, your life in Xie Mansion will be much better."

"Then I will believe you for now." As she said that, Cui Shuyan stepped forward, slapped a pill into Mrs. Cui's mouth, then pinched her neck and forced her to swallow it.

"What did you give me to eat?" Mrs. Cui asked in panic.

"Poison. This poison will take effect once a month, and when it does, the abdominal pain will be unbearable. If you don't obey, I won't give you the antidote and will let you die in pain!"

After saying that, Cui Shuyan asked Shi Liu to stop.

At the same time, Mrs. Cui's whole body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

The maid beside her hurried forward and bandaged her wound.

At this moment, Mrs. Cui's neck and hands were all covered in blood, which looked scary.

Cui Shuyan ignored her and walked right past her.

Only after she went out did Cui Shuyan feel a little relieved.

She looked up at the sky and murmured in her heart: Mother, if you are still in heaven, just watch how your daughter avenges you.

Cui Shuyan went out and headed towards the Cui family ancestral hall.

Cui Shangjin caught up at this time, stretched out his arms to block Cui Shuyan's way, and said breathlessly: "Shuyan, what are you going to do?"
