After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

Qi Mu'an learned three days later that Xu Weiyan had killed Yu Mao.

When the police called him to find out what was going on, he and his brother were vacationing at a hot spring resort in the suburbs with their respective wives.

They had just arrived at the resort and were unloading their luggage from the trunk of the car.

Qi Mu'an had no choice but to ask the staff for help. He went to the side to take a phone call for more than ten minutes before going back inside to find the other three.

Qi Muci had already helped Qiao Ran and Zhao Mengmeng complete the check-in procedures.

They chose a small two-bedroom villa.

Qi Mu'an invited everyone to take the resort's shuttle bus back to the villa.

Upon arriving at the villa, after the hotel staff left, he told the other three, "Xu Weiyan committed a crime; she killed Yu Mao."

All three were shocked.

Zhao Mengmeng pressed Qi Mu'an, "Why did she kill Yu Mao? When did it happen?"

Qi Mu'an sighed, "Three days ago, on the afternoon we got our marriage certificate, the police said that Xu Weiyan confessed that she went to ask Yu Mao to return the money, but Yu Mao refused and even tried to kill her."

"She killed Yu Mao in self-defense."

"Then why are the police looking for you?" Qi Muci asked.

Qi Mu'an: "It was just routine. Because I'm Xu Weiyan's ex-husband, they wanted to know about Yu Mao and Xu Weiyan's relationship, and I told them the truth. I also emphasized to them that we've been divorced for more than half a year."

"I don't know anything about Xu Weiyan and Yu Mao's affair, so they haven't said anything more. There are witnesses and physical evidence, and Xu Weiyan will definitely pay the price this time."

"However, this is her business, and I will not help her."

As Qi Mu'an was speaking, his phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

After hesitating for a moment, he answered, "Hello, I am Qi Mu'an."

The other party: "Hello, Mr. Qi, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm Xu Weiyan's lawyer. Something's happened to her..."

Qi Mu'an glanced at Zhao Mengmeng and replied coldly, "I know. The police just called me. I already told them that Xu Weiyan and I are divorced, and they shouldn't bother me with her anymore."

“I’ve remarried, and my wife is pregnant right now. She can’t handle any stress. You understand what I mean?”

The other person paused for a moment, then said, "Sorry to bother you."

Qi Mu'an hung up the phone and turned it off. "Okay, should we pack our luggage first or go eat? I heard the roast goose here is pretty good, Mengmeng, eat more later."

Qi Muci looked at the two ladies and said, "You decide."

Qiao Ran and Zhao Mengmeng exchanged a glance. "Could we have someone deliver food to our house? I've been walking for two hours today, and I'm feeling a bit tired. Mengmeng must be tired too, right?"

Zhao Mengmeng nodded, "Yeah, all I want to do right now is lie down, my back is so sore."

Qi Mu'an: "Then you should go back to your room and lie down for a while. I'll call them to send over some food."

Qi Muci: "Then I'll take my luggage into the room."

Qiao Ran helped Zhao Mengmeng to one of the bedrooms and let her lie down to rest.

Qi Muci dragged Qi Muan and Zhao Mengmeng's suitcases into the house, nodded to Qiao Ran, turned around and went out, closing the door behind him.

Qiao Ran grasped Zhao Mengmeng's hand. "Are you alright? You look pale with fright."

Zhao Mengmeng patted her chest with her other hand. "Ranran, can you believe it? I really can't believe it. That Xu Weiyan is terrifying. He killed someone... this..."

"I feel like I'm going to have nightmares tonight. I feel terrified just thinking about her face."

Qiao Ran smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? She's already been arrested and won't bother you. Besides, you don't owe her any money. The wronged will be held accountable, and she won't come after you."

Zhao Mengmeng: "No, I suspect she really did cut her wrists that day. Now that I think about it, this woman is really ruthless. You can tell from the fact that she kept a gigolo behind Mu An's back. She's a ruthless person."

Qiao Ran: "That's true."

Although Qiao Ran hadn't met Xu Weiyan many times, from the first time they met, she felt that Xu Weiyan had a fierce look in his eyes, the kind of person who was fearless.

Outside, Qi Mu'an, who had just ordered food over the phone, complained to her younger brother, "Can you believe it? Xu Weiyan actually killed someone."

Qi Muci, however, looked unconvinced. "What's so unbelievable? She can keep a gigolo behind your back and even stage a suicide attempt by cutting her wrists. It's not surprising that she would kill someone."

Qi Mu'an was speechless.

Qi Muci glanced at Qi Muan and said, "You should be glad that you two are divorced. If you were still husband and wife, she might have secretly slit your throat while you were sleeping one day when she was in a bad mood."

Qi Mu'an's eyes widened, and he touched his neck, his back covered in a layer of cold sweat. "Don't scare me."

Qi Muci smiled and bent down to rinse the teaware with the boiled water. "This is a good thing for you. At least you won't have to worry about her bothering you and Mengmeng anymore."

Qi Mu'an breathed a sigh of relief. "That's true. Should I call Mom and tell her?"

Qi Muci: "Do as you please."

Qi Mu'an quickly picked up the phone and dialed his mother Shen Qinglan's number, recounting how Xu Weiyan had committed murder.

Shen Qinglan on the other end of the phone was also shocked.

After hanging up with her son, she quickly called her mother, Xiang Wanli, and her mother-in-law, Zhou Yu.

Within ten minutes, the whole family knew about it.

Then, Xiang Wanli and Zhou Yu called Qi Mu'an separately to warn him not to help Xu Weiyan with her lawsuit.

Qi Mu'an dared not hang up the phone and could only listen and be scolded.

Fortunately, the staff delivered the food, and he hung up the phone by making an excuse that he needed to eat.

"I shouldn't have made that call," Qi Mu'an complained as he set the table. "It's like I'm the one who committed the murder. I just don't understand why everyone thinks I would help Xu Weiyan."

Do I look like such a stupid person?

Qi Muci glanced at his elder brother and replied bluntly, "Yes."

Qi Mu'an: "..."

After setting out the bowls and chopsticks, Qi Muci turned around and knocked on the door, calling Qiao Ran and Zhao Mengmeng to come out for lunch.

Qiao Ran lay down with Zhao Mengmeng for a while, and the fatigue from the long journey was relieved. When she saw a table full of goose meat, with various cooking methods and fragrant aromas, her appetite was immediately whetted.

The goose meat was fragrant and sweet, and Qiao Ran and Zhao Mengmeng ate a lot of it.

Seeing how much they enjoyed the food, Qi Muci scolded her brother, saying they should have ordered more.

Qi Mu'an also felt that he had ordered too little food, because Qiao Ran and Zhao Mengmeng usually didn't eat much in order to maintain their figures.

Qiao Ran reminded Qi Mu'an, "Big brother, Mengmeng is now eating for two people by herself."

Qi Mu'an realized his mistake and said, "I'm sorry, I overlooked this issue."

Zhao Mengmeng glared angrily at Qi Mu'an, took a bite of the roast goose leg and said, "When your son comes out in the future, I will tell him that your father abused his mother and didn't let her eat much."

Qi Mu'an quickly put the last piece of roast goose into Zhao Mengmeng's bowl. "I was wrong. I'll call them right now and ask them to send over another plate of roast goose. No, let's just have one, okay?"

Zhao Mengmeng was finally satisfied. "Never mind, it's too greasy to eat too much. Let's eat more tonight. This is enough for lunch."

Qi Muci turned to Qiao Ran and asked, "Have you eaten enough? Would you like to order something else?"

Qiao Ran replied with a smile, "I've had enough, there's still fruit I haven't eaten."
