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

Li Shu was arrogant and seemed less approachable.

Li Linsheng was almost laughing in anger. If it weren't for the tung oil and her current value, would he be so polite? Since he had already humbled himself to show her goodwill, she should have accepted it obediently, instead of being so ungrateful as she is now.

Despite his anger, Li Linsheng wasn't the type to be easily angered.

Let her be arrogant for a while. Once she has gotten what she deserves and those outsiders no longer care about her, then... there will be ways to make her suffer the same kind of life she used to have!

Even sending her to that old woman in the Qi family to torment her to death wouldn't be a bad idea!

"There's no need to be so harsh. Why should we, siblings, be so calculating?" Li Linsheng immediately changed his tune, smiling as he said, "I know you're upset, eldest sister. How about this, I'll have Mother add a few more dishes tonight as my apology, okay?"

It has to be said that Li Shu was somewhat impressed by how quickly Li Linsheng turned his back on him.

This person's shamelessness is even greater than his.

“Alright, I’m tired today. I’ll tell you the news you want when I’m in a better mood. I’ll also put in a good word for you with Captain Ma and see if I can help. But you have to promise me one thing—” Li Shu also looked serious, as if he was thinking about the sibling relationship.

Regarding the information she was about to leak...

Who knows what it is?

That's all made up. She wants a few days of peace, so she needs to offer some benefits to keep people hanging. As for how to explain it later...

we'll talk about it then.

Li Shuxin is kind-hearted and thick-skinned. When she said these words, Li Linsheng was a little surprised. For a moment, he even doubted whether the person in front of him was still the same Ah Li from before!

"What is it?" Li Linsheng asked, barely containing his anger.

“Although I have connections, I’m very poor and have no money. You need to give me five taels of silver. You’re someone who travels a lot, so you should know that friendships can’t be maintained by feelings alone. If you want benefits, you have to give some in return. They only agreed to protect my safety, but they didn’t agree to do anything else for me,” Li Shu continued to spout nonsense.

She could do without the money, but only if she made a condition and Li Linsheng made some sacrifice would he be more eager for news from her.

Once they receive that so-called information, their level of trust will increase.

Of course, the most important reason was that she was poor.

The fact that there was a space but not much stuff inside made her very anxious.

She found eight taels of silver at the Qi family's house before, but it was still too little. As for the Li family... she could move all her belongings away, but now was not the time.

"What information costs five taels of silver! Don't try to fool me!" Li Linsheng was somewhat unwilling, worried that she was playing tricks.

Li Linsheng was also pondering the trump cards Li Shu held.

She has some unknown friends and the care of the Ma family, that's all. The Ma family is unreliable, and as for those friends... he can't act rashly, he needs to observe them for a while first. Apart from these two things, she has nothing, so she probably just wants her father and his attention.

Li Shu narrowed his eyes and said mysteriously, "Of course it's about horse bandits."

Li Linsheng felt a pang of anxiety, yet also found it reasonable.

Like the barbarians outside the pass, bandits were a major threat to several cities within Yunjing Pass. They were numerous, some in groups and others scattered, and frequently harassed surrounding towns.

Ganhe Town is also frequently visited by several bandits.

If he could gain merit by capturing bandits, even just one or two, he would definitely be allowed to enter the city gate as a guard.

“The money is not a problem, but… you must give me this message within five days. I can’t keep waiting.” Li Linsheng thought for a moment and then decided to say it.

It's just a matter of spending some money; we have some savings at home, so it's not a big problem.

Moreover, since Ali is still living in this family, she wouldn't dare to fool him.

Li Linsheng was also very straightforward and asked Zhou to give him the money.

"..." Zhou thought her son had gone mad, actually believing that Li Shu could have information related to bandits! Even if he did, could that information really help her son gain merit?!

But as her son grew up, he became very opinionated, and now she had no choice but to listen to him.

“You and your father are both fooled by her words!” Zhou reluctantly took the money, feeling uneasy.

When her husband returned from prison, he said he would teach that brat a lesson, but in public, he started defending her, saying that the Qi family was vicious and wanted to force his daughter to her death, acting like a good father...

Wouldn't it be better if that girl died? There wouldn't be anyone like that in the house anymore!

She didn't want Ali's status in the father and son's hearts to increase, because every time she saw Ali, she couldn't help but think that she was just a concubine!

“Mother, I felt something was wrong a few days ago. She’s so weak, could she really kill someone? I suspect that after Qi Yanfeng hit her, she harbored resentment and, taking advantage of the Qi family’s old woman’s absence, conspired with outsiders to kill Qi Yanfeng. Those people killed for her, and their reward was the tung oil and the Qi family’s money, while she took the blame!” The two returned to the house, and Li Linsheng said as he took the money.

Zhou was terrified: "Then why are you still giving her money? Aren't you afraid she'll use it to bribe those people to deal with us?!"

"Don't worry! I know martial arts! Besides, five taels of silver to buy our whole family's lives? What a bad deal! Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I want to see what useful things she can come up with!" Li Linsheng said confidently.

Zhou's mouth moved, but she didn't speak.

The son doesn't know the cost of firewood and rice when he's not in charge of the household. Five taels of silver is enough to feed the family for several months!

Soon, Li Shu received the money.

She now has a total of thirteen taels, which is enough to buy some basic necessities.

Li Shu was imprisoned for murder as soon as he transmigrated here, and he has only just regained his freedom. The original owner of this body rarely had the opportunity to go out, so Li Shu did not know much about this place.

The injury has improved slightly. As long as there is no strenuous exercise, there should be no major problems. Of course, it will probably take another two months to fully recover.

She doesn't want to live with an unhealthy body in the future, so she wants to stay as stable as possible for the foreseeable future.

The food was indeed quite good that evening.

What made Li Shu even happier was that after stabilizing Li Linsheng, she was able to move around more in the Li family. During this time, she even went to the kitchen and picked out a sharp kitchen knife for herself.

Li Chutian also returned, and the couple looked at her with unfriendly and sarcastic eyes.

Seeing this, Li Chutian felt a surge of anger: "If I had known you would turn out like this, I should have strangled you back then!"

“No need to go back to the past. You can still fight now. You strangle me, I'll kill you, and we can reincarnate together. Maybe in the next life I'll be your father.” Li Shu said, brandishing the kitchen knife in his hand. “Shall we have a go?”

Having a knife gave her a lot more confidence.

"What did you say?" Li Chutian's facial muscles twitched. "Who taught you to say such treasonous things?!"
