After being wrongly married, I stabbed my husband to death and became famous throughout the world.

Li Linsheng didn't feel ashamed about Li Shu's murder; he just thought it was a good show that he could show off to everyone.

As for the impact of this matter on Li Shu and the Li family, he didn't care at all.

When Li Shu heard this, some unpleasant memories also surfaced in his mind.

The original owner had no feelings for these younger siblings, but she was wary of them. When Li Linsheng first started learning martial arts, he used the original owner as a target. In this family, the original owner was not most afraid of her father and Zhou Shi, but Li Linsheng.

Li Linsheng was young, and a young man's temper is always unpredictable. One moment he is speaking peacefully, and the next he may suddenly explode. His bad temper is just as incomprehensible as Qi Yanfeng's when he is ill.

Whenever Li Linsheng lost his temper, regardless of the reason, the original owner would always suffer some punishment.

Looking through the doors and windows of Li Shuwu at the burly figure outside, a murderous intent welled up in his heart.

This person cannot be kept alive.

Outside, Zhou pulled her son aside: "Don't always think about playing! There's been a lot of gossip lately, has it interfered with your work? I heard that if the city gate guards want to get promoted, their family background must be impeccable..."

“Mother, it’s alright! This place isn’t like the capital where family background matters. There are many military households in the town, and who doesn’t have clean hands? As long as you have the ability and can make meritorious contributions, you can climb up the ranks! Even if this case is sentenced to death, it won’t have much of an impact. However, she has become quite bold. Facing a strong man like Qi Yanfeng, she actually dared to resist. That’s really remarkable…” Li Linsheng’s voice was a little softer, and his tone was somewhat dissatisfied.

Although he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he was already much taller than Zhou.

Because of his martial arts training, Li Linsheng has a dark complexion, calluses on his hands, and speaks in a rough voice.

He didn't look as refined as Li Chutian; he looked fierce, even like a thug. But this place wasn't very safe, and in this town, you could feel more at ease having a child with this kind of temperament at home.

Li Linsheng was not the most favored or pampered child of the Li family couple, but he was the most reliable one.

Li Shu touched the wound on his chest and fell silent.

Doing it directly seems inappropriate.

Just because she was able to escape unscathed from the Qi family case doesn't mean she can do so again in the future.

To vent her anger, she needs to be patient, but given her bad temper, she won't be able to hold out for long, so we need to find a way as soon as possible.

Li Shu didn't even think about avoiding her sharp edge. After all, she had already come to the Li family, so how could she avoid it?

She wasn't in a hurry. She wandered around the room for a while, then went to the window on the back wall and poured some tung oil out of the room.

Her machete had been confiscated by the authorities when she killed Qi Yanfeng, so she had no means of self-defense at the moment. Apart from an old pair of scissors, there was nothing else in the room that she could use...

Left with no other choice, she simply put away the scissors and left the house.

Zhou had already thrown the huge pile of clothes into the wooden basin and gave her a cold smile.

With her son around, she seemed to have more confidence, certain that Li Shu wouldn't dare to resist. So her expression was full of contempt, as if she were looking at a useless animal. She said, "Some people think that once they get into the bridal sedan chair, they can marry into a high-class family and live a carefree life. But alas, a person's fate is predetermined. No matter how hard you try, you can't change the lowly destiny of a person born with a lowly fate."

"Mother, I just saw Sister Aning! Young Master Ma accompanied her back to her parents' home! He even bought so many things for the Yao family. She doesn't seem like a concubine at all!" Li Man tugged at Zhou Shi's clothes, somewhat envious. "Mother, I also want the kind of pearl hairpin that Sister Aning wears. It looks so real, so beautiful!"

“I’ll buy it for you.” Zhou immediately changed her expression again.

The youngest son of the Li family looked more upright, but he didn't say anything and went straight back to his room to read.

Just before leaving, his gaze swept over Li Shu, and his young face also showed a look of disgust.

"If you're not dead, then get to work properly." Li Linsheng was even more straightforward.

"I can't do it. The doctor said I need to recover from my injuries," Li Shu refused.

Li Linsheng was surprised by her words and looked at her with astonishment before raising his voice, "You used to be too shy to say a word, but now you dare to slack off? Didn't you hear what Aman said just now? Young Master Ma would rather go to the Yao family than come here to see you. What are you daydreaming about, thinking you're the young mistress of the Ma family?"

“I don’t daydream, but I do know I have what you want.” Li Shu said shamelessly, as if he really understood what the other person was thinking. “I know you want to be a city gate guard, but only a few people are selected for the city gate guards every year. You have no chance of being selected. But I can help you.”

City gate guards are not considered officials; anyone with a little skill can do the job, and their wages are almost the same as those of soldiers in the military camp.

Ganhe Town is so close to the military camp that there is a conscription every year. Normally, soldiers are selected from military households, but when the war is urgent, even if they are not military households, their families must send at least one male to the battlefield.

It's hard to get ahead in the military, and you can easily lose your life in battle.

Li Linsheng had reached the age to join the army, and only by working in the government office could he avoid the risks of joining the army.

Li Linsheng frowned: "Killing someone really changes you. It's only been a few days, and you, a complete idiot, can already guess what I'm up to? But do you think I'll believe you? Although you're a year or two older than me, what could a little girl like you possibly know?"

“If I wanted your help, my father would have made his request to Captain Ma when he proposed marriage. Why wait until now?” Li Linsheng added, showing no intention of bowing down to Li Shu in the slightest.

Li Shu rolled his eyes.

She sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, as if she was certain that the other party would not dare to make a move, and slowly said, "It's not that you didn't want Captain Ma's help, but that you were too young and incompetent at that time, right? Later, the marriage between the two families was already arranged. You just needed to let things take their course. Once I became a member of the Ma family, it was a done deal. I didn't need to ask for anything, and the benefits would come naturally. Besides, with my former boldness, I wouldn't dare to refuse your request."

"Of course, you won't lose out by not marrying into the Ma family. After all... this wrong marriage has made the Ma family owe the Li family a favor. So that night, you felt that things had come to this point and the marriage couldn't be done, so you didn't go to the Qi family to pick me up. Instead, you told Captain Ma not to take this matter to heart."

"Given Captain Ma's character, and the fact that you are all so sensible, he will surely make amends, whether it's with money or a position. You just need to wait and be on good terms with him."

"You just didn't expect that I would kill Qi Yanfeng."
