Arrogant and domineering because of his good looks: His Majesty always pretends to be righteous

The night was hazy, and a bright crescent moon hung high in the sky.

Outside, the cold wind howled and relentlessly battered the treetops, the withered branches swaying in the air like an old man's hand.

The woman stood quietly by the bed, her face full of anticipation. After a long while, the man walked in, his eyes glazed with drunkenness.

A strong smell of alcohol hits you as soon as you look at it.

"You've been drinking so much again. You spend every little bit of money you have."

"Your family has so much debt, why don't you take a look?"

"I'm really unlucky to be with a man like you. If I had known you were like this, I would never have married someone like you."

As she spoke, she punched the man's back with her fist, her eyes filled with resentment.

"go away."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze carrying a hint of mockery.

"If you hadn't been after my money, would you have been with me?"

"You're such a vain woman. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this with my next boyfriend."

The woman was instantly rendered speechless, like a mute eating bitter melon, unable to express her suffering.

After all, this is the path I chose, and now I have no choice but to walk it to the end, even if I have to crawl on my knees.

After a moment's thought, she placed the jade pendant in his hand.

He instantly felt a slight chill in his palm.

With eyes gently lowered, a translucent and exquisite jade pendant suddenly appeared before them.

"Where did this come from? It must have cost a lot of money. Our family is practically penniless, and you actually have such a nice thing. Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Overjoyed, he clutched the jade pendant tightly in his hand, his bright eyes scrutinizing it closely.

His eyes revealed a greedy desire; you didn't need to guess what kind of scheme he was plotting.

"Hey, listen up, I begged for this! Don't you dare squander it on me, or you'll be beyond saving. Tomorrow you'll take this jade pendant to pay off your debts..."

"Did you hear that? We're going to live a good life from now on, even if it's tough and we're poor. You shouldn't mess with these people and those shady characters anymore..."

The man impatiently agreed...

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, he arrived at the casino with great enthusiasm.

As soon as he entered, he saw a fierce-looking man sitting with his back to him.

The atmosphere in the air instantly plummeted to freezing point, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

The man held a gleaming knife in his hand, its blade radiating a chilling light.

"Brother... I've prepared the money today... Look, look at this jade pendant in my hand, it's top-quality stuff."

"Not only can I clear up all your previous debts, but I can also take a good gamble."

A sinister smile appeared on the man's cold face as he looked at everything before him with suspicion.

His rough hands caressed the fine Hetian jade, and the look in his eyes was particularly intriguing.

"Where did you get such fine Hetian jade, kid? You didn't steal it, did you? If it's ill-gotten gains, you'd better not give it to me."

"Brother, don't worry, I absolutely won't steal or rob. This is truly a gift from me to you!"

As he spoke, he eagerly sat down at the table.

My eyes widened as I saw the props on the table, and I started to get itchy again.

"Today I'm going to gamble again... I'm sure I can make a fortune..."

The night was hazy, darkness enveloped the earth, and the woman waited at home for a long time for the man, but still did not see that familiar figure.

Old Lady Xia was getting impatient at first, so everyone decided to go look for her in the dark.

"A person has been killed! A person has been killed..."

"Something terrible has happened! Someone's been killed! Come quick!"

A distraught young woman ran towards us, seemingly quite frightened.

He stumbled and scrambled, as if he had seen something he was terrified of.

"What's wrong with this girl? What happened?"

Old Lady Xia quickly stopped her.

"There was a murder at the casino, it seems like it was because the man owed gambling debts..."

"Grandma, you'd better not go over there. Those men are gangsters; we can't afford to mess with them..."

The woman stammered as she spoke, then scrambled away.

Everyone immediately sensed something was wrong and rushed inside. Sure enough, the man was already lying in a pool of blood, his body already cold.

"You killed my husband, give me back my husband..."

The woman had gone into a frenzy and lunged at the man, grabbing him and screaming and cursing him in a heart-wrenching manner.

At this moment, she acted like a shrew, completely disregarding everything else.

"Pah, get out of here..."

“Your husband insisted on gambling with me, and not only did he lose the family heirloom jade pendant, but he also incurred a mountain of debt…”

"If you keep arguing here, I'll make you regret it."

The man clenched his teeth tightly as he spoke, each word making a grinding sound.

Those gloomy eyes were like those of a hungry wolf walking in the night sky.

He held the knife in his hand, and bright red blood was still dripping from it.

"I'm telling you, it's best not to report this to the authorities today, or I'll make sure you suffer."

"You'd better watch yourselves. It's only right to pay back debts, no matter where you are..."

"boom……"

With a loud bang, the knife was stuck straight into the table, and the man then arrogantly left.

The woman was terrified and dared not speak out; her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

She was stunned and speechless for a long time...

The woman returned home looking utterly lost, as if she had lost her soul, her eyes fixed on Old Lady Xia.

After a long time, she knelt down straight down.

"Old Mrs. Xia, I'm begging you to raise my daughter properly. After all, she's related to you by blood... Please, for the sake of the person, please do me a favor!"

"I've been stuck with a man like this, I have no face to live in this world anymore. I want to leave for a distant place, I really can't face anyone..."

“The child is so young, I can’t possibly take him on another nomadic journey. This child has already suffered too much…”

She cried uncontrollably, stroking her daughter's hair with affection.

He still felt a deep sense of guilt towards his daughter, but now that they were destitute, there really wasn't any better choice.

He knew very well that if he could be entrusted to a good family, at least he would not have to worry about food and drink.

Then the best candidate is only Old Lady Xia.

"I disagree……"

The cold voice shattered all of the woman's illusions.
