Bloody Kyoto

Chapter 275 Demanding to be beaten to death, refusing to help, and mocking her servants.

Meanwhile, inside the Zeng family's main hall, the Zeng family members, who had just finished discussing their plot to kill and frame someone, hadn't even had a chance to step out of the hall yet.

They clutched their chests, their faces contorted in agony, and collapsed to the ground one after another.

After a short while, there was no sound.

The coroner rushed over and, after a thorough examination, determined that the cause of death was internal organ rupture.

However, what is puzzling is that there were no injuries on their bodies, their skin was intact, and there was not even a trace of bruise or damage.

Such a bizarre death left everyone bewildered, and the case remained unsolved for a long time.

Only the Hua family had a vague idea of ​​the truth, but that's a story for another time.

After crushing the toad, Zeng Fu tossed the mangled toad to the ground with a thud, and it landed in front of the maid with a "thud".

The maid was so frightened that her face turned pale, her eyes widened, and she subconsciously took several steps back, her body trembling slightly as she stared in horror at the blurry mass of flesh and blood on the ground.

"Come here and wipe my hands," Zeng Fu said, her voice hoarse like sandpaper, carrying a chilling coldness.

The maid reacted extremely quickly, rushing towards the bedside almost instantly.

But when she saw Zeng Fu's still bleeding hand, her throat felt like it was choked by something, and she subconsciously swallowed.

She hurriedly reached out to take Zeng Fu's hand and start wiping it, but she suddenly froze halfway through, realizing that she had forgotten to bring a towel.

She opened her mouth, about to say "I'll go get water and a towel," but when she met Zeng Fu's impatient gaze, she swallowed the words back.

In her panic, she grabbed the hem of her clothes, carefully took Zeng Fu's hand, and began to gently wipe it. Her movements were hurried and flustered, her fingertips were trembling slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Zeng Fu leaned against the bed, tilting her head back and staring straight up. Her face was expressionless, but if you looked closely, you could catch a hint of a pleased smile in her eyes.

The families she chooses to possess are all targets from which she needs to extract their fortune. She will not easily kill anyone before she has extracted all their fortune.

However, the Zeng family in Xuanzhou Prefecture was not within her target range; her real target was a clan uncle of the Zeng family.

Therefore, killing the Zeng family members at this moment would not affect her plan.

However, Huo Lele's relentless pursuit put her under immense pressure.

She knew in her heart that she probably wouldn't be able to successfully seize the fortune of that uncle from the Zeng family.

Especially now that this body has become like this, it is extremely difficult to move around, and even simple actions are difficult to complete, let alone seize the luck.

Thinking of luck reminded him of the Du family, and then of Madam Du. Hatred surged into his heart instantly, and he gritted his teeth.

She thought to herself that if Madam Du abused the mentally challenged like the Zeng family, she could easily kill everyone in the Du family by taking advantage of the cause and effect.

Unfortunately, that woman was kind-hearted, completely different from the cold-blooded people of the Zeng family.

Although there are regrets, they are not too many. If I can't kill the Du family to vent my anger now, then I'll wait until I have a healthy body before I can seize their fortune.

April 1st is not far away, so we can choose that day.

An hour later, the Hua family learned that the entire Zeng family had suddenly died.

At first, everyone felt relieved that the Zeng family, who had always made endless demands on them, was finally gone.

But then, a chill ran from the soles of their feet straight up to their hearts; they were filled with lingering fear of Zeng Fu's terrifying abilities.

How could someone who can kill even their own blood relatives without mercy show any mercy to others?

Thinking about their own attitude towards Zeng Fu, the Hua family members' faces turned deathly pale.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Hua family said in a trembling voice, "We haven't mistreated her, so she shouldn't do anything to us, right?"

She recalled how she had felt sorry for and helped Zeng Fu when she first entered the manor. Although she later took her anger out on Zeng Fu because of the Zeng family's excessive behavior, and her care and help had decreased, she had never bullied her.

At most, the servants would privately mock Zeng Fu, but they did nothing to stop them.

She silently comforted herself, thinking that this way they wouldn't be hated to the point of wanting to kill her whole family.

The eldest son of the Hua family shook his head, sighed, and said, "Not necessarily. Although we didn't mistreat her, we didn't give her the treatment that the third mistress of the Hua family should have received."

Upon hearing this, the Hua family members' faces grew even more grim, and the hall fell into a deathly silence.

After a while, someone whispered, "It seems she needs a toad to kill people. Let's just not give her the toad."

The second young master of the Hua family immediately chimed in, making a throat-slitting gesture as he said viciously, "This is just treating the symptoms, not the root cause. It's better to just..."

Before he could finish speaking, with a loud "smack," Old Master Hua slammed his hand on the table, making the teacups on the table jump.

Old Master Hua glared and angrily shouted, "What kind of crazy idea is this? If she has such abilities, do you think you can just kill her as you please?"

Besides, she hasn't done anything to wrong the Hua family. She was forced into marrying into the Hua family.

After finishing his speech in one breath, Grandpa Hua took a few heavy breaths to calm himself down.

He said earnestly, "Don't even think about anything funny. She's so badly injured right now, so we should take good care of her. It's always right to treat people with sincerity."

Since the old man had said so, even if the other members of the Hua family had objections, they dared not bring them up again.

After the eldest and second daughters-in-law of the Hua family came out of the hall, they went to the storeroom together to select some medicinal herbs and tonics before heading to Zeng Fu's current residence.

Zeng Fu watched the two women walk in. From their expressions and actions, she knew without guessing their intentions and understood that this was the will of the other members of the Hua family.

If you ask her if she hates the Hua family, the answer is yes.

However, upon closer examination of the cause and effect, the Hua family's actions were not excessive.

Before she was struck by lightning upon her return, although she had no one to serve her personally, an old woman would come to deliver her meals and help her bathe and change her clothes every day.

For a fool, such a life was passable; at least he wasn't starving or freezing.

However, for the status of the third young mistress of the Hua family, it seemed too shabby, so she still harbored some resentment in her heart.

Given her current situation, even if she wanted revenge, she would be powerless to do so.

To put Anhua's family at ease and allow her to recover in peace, she made a request.

That is, after she was struck by lightning, all the servants who were watching her make a fool of herself outside the courtyard were beaten to death.

When the two daughters-in-law of the Hua family heard this request, their hearts skipped a beat, and their faces turned deathly pale.

Although servants are of lowly status, they are still human lives. How can they be beaten to death simply for mocking someone?

The two were extremely unwilling to agree, but when they thought of the safety of the Hua family, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

Before leaving, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hua family mustered her courage and pleaded, "Third sister-in-law, could we change the punishment from being beaten to death to being sold into slavery?"

Zeng Fu did not answer immediately, but stared at her coldly with her chilling and unsettling eyes, her gaze devoid of any warmth.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Hua family felt her scalp tingle and her whole body tremble with discomfort under her gaze. She understood that this meant she disagreed.

Everyone has a kind heart, but once they are threatened, that kindness will be shrouded in shadow and will no longer be pure.

Ultimately, the Hua family had no choice but to comply with Zeng Fu's request and have the servants who had stood by and watched her die, even mocking her, beaten to death.
