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

Chen Feiqing was of average health and prone to illness since childhood. Fearing that he would die on the battlefield, the Chen family spent money to teach him to read and write, hoping that he would have a chance of being assigned to a clerical position when he joined the army.

However, there aren't many of these dangerous positions, and even if he has some ability, he might not get one.

Chen Yousong returned to the house, and Chen Feiqing took the things, glanced at them, and immediately showed some surprise.

“Mother, Father didn’t give any money, but Li Chutian has already agreed not to interfere in A-Li’s marriage. It’s still under Father’s control.” Chen Feiqing found it strange. “When did that couple from the Li family become so easy to talk to?”

Hearing this, Madam Zhu was shocked.

She opened her mouth, but had nothing to say.

In her husband's heart, she was a selfish and wicked person. What was the point of saying anything more? Besides, this time she didn't spend any money, but what about in the future?

"I can't control other things, but this money... no one can touch it." In the end, Madam Zhu gritted her teeth, put the money away, and felt that no matter what, she couldn't be the one to be taken advantage of.

The couple parted on bad terms.

After a moment of stunned silence, the Chen siblings were also helpless. They knew that no one was at fault in this matter. Their mother had done it for them, and their father was not the kind of heartless and cold-hearted person. The only one to blame was Li Chutian, who was a scoundrel who couldn't even tolerate his own daughter.

……

In the following days, Li Shu was also busy.

I go out for a walk whenever I have free time.

Every time she goes out recently, she finds a secluded place to change her clothes. These past few days she has been dressed as a boy. The original owner was underdeveloped, just a bean sprout, with no breasts or buttocks, so Li Shu doesn't need to hide it.

That's why she felt she absolutely had to gain some weight...

So she went to the restaurant and bought twenty plates of chicken, duck, fish, and meat dishes, which she stored in her space. It was enough for her to eat for two months.

In a few days, Li Shu had explored Ganhe Town quite thoroughly. There was farmland and many small villages near Ganhe Town, and all trade was concentrated in the town. Because it was a border pass, the town was actually surrounded by mountains. There was only one main road into Yicheng, and the others were all mountain roads that were difficult to travel.

She also learned that Yicheng is not a place that can be entered casually; one needs a household registration certificate or something similar.

I heard that the border towns are conducting strict checks because there are many military households in the surrounding area, and this is to prevent military households from escaping.

In other words, if she wanted to leave the Yicheng area to see the beautiful landscape, it would be almost impossible. She would be considered a refugee or a runaway slave, especially since she was a woman traveling alone and would inevitably be investigated.

But does she really feel that things are unstable here?

I wonder which general in the military camp died, and they even used that priceless nanmu wood as a coffin. This is no small matter!

Who knows when Yunjing Pass will fall?

If it were truly breached, Ganhe Town would be like a turtle in a jar.

As a result, Li Shu fell into deep sorrow again, feeling lost about his pitiful future.

Soon, it was August 18th.

The Qian family is handling some business.

Li Shu squatted down in front of the Qian family's house with the beggars in town.

She held a broken bowl in her hand, her hands trembling, and her eyes watched the passing customers.

After thinking it over, she felt that beggars were the safest. Neither bandits nor soldiers would take beggars seriously. Even if danger came, she could simply hide in a corner and remain unnoticed.

Of course, this is on the premise that she doesn't step in herself to act as a shield.

"You're new here, aren't you? Be a little thicker-skinned, don't be shy! I heard the Qian family bought a lot of meat yesterday. If you're sweet-talking, you might be able to snatch a few pieces. See that woman over there? Don't be like her..." The old beggar next to her poked her arm twice, then pointed in a direction.

Li Shu looked in that direction.

An acquaintance!

"That old woman used to sell lamp oil, but recently her family has suffered a misfortune and they can't even afford to eat. Look, she's come here begging for food too. But she's different from us. She cares about her reputation. She wants to take things from the Qian family, but she doesn't want to lose face. There's no such thing as a free lunch!" The old beggar looked down on her.

Li Shu grinned and nodded, "She came over to take over our territory, shouldn't we beat her up?"

"..." The beggar paused for a moment, "Her son just died, she's quite pitiful."

“But I know him. When my father was still alive, he was begging for food and passed by the Qi family’s door. She threw swill on my father. It was winter then. Because of this, my father fell ill and never recovered. That’s why I don’t have a father!” Li Shu seemed very sad.

"Your father was killed by her?" The old beggar looked at the "lame" child with a pang of sympathy.

"Oh, right, a kind lady told me to come early yesterday and sneak to the side gate. She wanted to give me a chicken... I'll go get it now, and we'll eat it together!" Li Shu spoke quickly, then started walking towards the side gate. Before leaving, she added sadly, "Sigh, it's because I'm useless. When my father died, I went to the Qi family to demand an explanation, and I even got beaten up by their son. Luckily, I survived, otherwise I wouldn't have the chance to eat chicken now..."

Li Shu walked away with a limp.

Reaching the side door and finding no one around, she took a roasted chicken out of her spatial storage and started walking back.

The beggars were shocked to see that she had actually received the meat.

Li Shu was generous, dividing the meat among himself and even sweetly addressed him as "elder brother."

This beggar, a scoundrel who lost everything through gambling and womanizing, is now the leader of this group of beggars. He is strong and powerful, and he sits there directing others to beg. Everyone who receives something has to share some with him.

She boasted a bit, which made the other person quite happy.

After the group finished eating, led by their "elder brother," the beggars stood up and walked toward Granny Qi.

"What are you doing with your dirty hands?" Granny Qi was both disgusted and flustered when she saw these people reaching out to grab her.

"I heard you killed my brother's father?" the eldest brother sneered. "A heartless person like you dares to beg on my turf? Beat him up!"

Qi's mother glanced at Li Shu and saw only a dirty little face with big eyes staring at her... But she didn't recognize her! Who was this? When did she ever kill someone else's father?!

Before he could finish speaking, he was hit.

She curled up on the ground, covering her head, and howled.

Li Shu didn't go up; she was in charge of keeping watch. When she saw someone looking in their direction, she immediately went up and grabbed "Big Brother" to control the situation.

The beggars thought she was kind and sensible, so they decided to let her choose her own spot. Qi's mother was beaten for no reason, felt extremely wronged, and dared not cry out, so she fled in panic.

The Qian family home gradually became lively, and the noise could be heard from outside.

Li Shu observed the people who brought the gifts. Around noon, a few people arrived carrying a large box. The people were dressed plainly, but they exuded a chilling aura that was quite different from others.

Moreover, those people did not linger; after handing the items over to the Qian family, they left immediately.

Old Man Qian looked grave and immediately had the box moved inside, fearing that if it stayed any longer, the contents would be gone.

"I'm sorry everyone! My grandson has a chronic illness, and it seems to have flared up again just now. It's really not appropriate for him to entertain you all anymore. I'll personally apologize in a couple of days..." Old Man Qian began to usher people out.

With a serious expression, Li Shu began to observe the movements outside the Qian family's house.

She estimated that it would take time for the innkeeper to send a message, but to ensure that the money wouldn't be moved, the bandits should already be waiting outside the town, so they should arrive in less than half an hour.

The guests were puzzled, but since the Qian family's grandson was indeed sickly, they naturally couldn't linger and left.

A moment later, the sound of horses' hooves seemed to be heard.

Faint cries of panic and the sobs of children could still be heard...

The horsewhip lashed out by the bandit cracked in mid-air, piercing people's eardrums.
