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

At home, Zhou woke up from her fainting spell, feeling completely dazed.

Soon, her husband and youngest son returned, both of them looking furious.

"Father, the teacher won't let me go to school anymore. What's going on? How could my elder brother be a bandit? Can you go to the yamen and ask if there's a mistake?" Li Erlang was very dissatisfied.

His expression was exceptionally serious, and he seemed to be a very well-behaved child.

Upon hearing this, Zhou burst into tears: "It's all that wretched girl Ali's fault! Linsheng only went out because he listened to her. Father, you have to think of something! If this case is settled, how will Linsheng live? I also heard that Linsheng was injured today and bled a lot!"

The thought of this caused Zhou a sharp pain in her heart, which she could hardly control.

"That bastard!" Li Chutian was also furious. "I'm going to find her. If she really dares to scheme against her brother, I, as her father, will personally kill her!"

Li Chutian angrily kicked open the door to Li Shudi's house.

He was holding a wooden stick in his hand, and without saying a word, he pointed at Li Shu and said, "What exactly did you say to your brother! Why did the officials arrest him!"

Li Shu glanced at the wooden stick in his hand: "You're planning to force me to go to the yamen to take the blame, to say that I ordered him to steal the credit, right?"

Li Chutian did indeed harbor such thoughts.

And that's just how it is!

“The people in the government won’t believe you,” Li Shu said, looking at him. “And now is not the time to panic. What’s important is to find connections and smooth things over.”

"You don't need to tell me! I will naturally do those things, but now, I will teach you a lesson, you unfilial daughter!" Li Chutian even had a hint of murderous intent, only regretting that he married a girl from the Chen family and gave birth to such a wretched child!

He bared his teeth and brandished his claws, holding a wooden stick, and raised his hand to smash it down on Li Shu—

Li Shu dodged the blow by sidestepping to the side, and then grabbed the other end of the stick.

"It seems you don't want Li Lin to come back alive?" Li Shu sneered. "Don't forget, I was also imprisoned before, but I was able to get out unscathed. Who did that help?"

Li Chutian was taken aback, then his eyes lit up: "That's right! The Ma family! Go and beg the Ma family to help your brother!"

He used to be reluctant to ask for favors directly, feeling it was shameful, but now that his son is in critical condition, saving face doesn't matter anymore.

“Plead? That’s the most useless way.” Li Shu shook his head. “If you were Captain Ma, would you save a criminal just because someone humbly begged you? Do you think Captain Ma saved me before just because I pitied him?”

Li Chutian looked at her coldly: "If your brother can't be saved, you shouldn't live either!"

He had already decided that if this brat couldn't take the blame for Lin Sheng, then she was useless and should be sold off!

This family can only be at peace without her!

“If you go to the Ma family with this kind of ruthlessness, you might actually be able to get Li Linsheng out of trouble.” Li Shu pulled the wooden stick over and threw it on the ground. “The Ma family saved me because they were guilty and did something wrong. If you have this leverage, you can use them to help Li Linsheng get away with it. So, if I were you, I would go to the Ma family now and make them busy.”

Li Chutian didn't understand.

What are the Ma family members feeling guilty about?!

“What do you know?” Li Chutian asked.

"You won't abandon me after you've served your purpose, will you?" Li Shu looked at him with a smile. "The contract you wrote to my uncle only stated that my marriage would be handled by the Chen family, but even if you kill me or sell me, it wouldn't be considered a breach of contract..."

"..." Li Chutian's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt that Li Shu was somewhat terrifying.

How could she possibly know what I was thinking?

The reason he signed that contract a few days ago was because Chen Yousong was stupid and easy to fool...

“You are my daughter. Although you are not likable, my Li family has a clean reputation for generations. I would never sell my daughter into slavery. You can rest assured about that! Ah Li, tell me quickly, how can we get the Ma family to intervene?” Li Chutian immediately concealed his true thoughts and spoke frankly.

Li Shu, of course, did not believe him.

Based on her understanding of the local laws, as a woman with a father but no husband, she was not entitled to establish her own household unless all her elders in the family had died.

The constraints of this identity cannot be escaped for the time being, because Li Chutian is not stupid and would not give up this opportunity to control her.

However, there's no use in her being anxious about this.

Perhaps she was lucky; before Li Chutian could no longer tolerate her and was willing to ruin everything to sell her off, there was no one in charge of this family...

“My wrong marriage to the Qi family was intentional on Ma Chengting’s part. Commander Ma only has this one son. As long as you, Father, grasp this point, the Ma family will be somewhat wary of you. However… in doing so, you will completely offend Commander Ma. You can think about it yourself: do you want to threaten him or beg him in a humble manner?” Li Shu didn’t hide it any longer and said frankly.

"Deliberately!?" Li Chutian looked at her in surprise.

His daughter is really useless!

The marriage that was within his grasp was snatched away by another girl!

Li Chutian glanced at her, said nothing more, and went back to discuss it with Zhou.

The next morning, Li Chutian took leave and went to the Ma family early.

While Lieutenant Ma was in the army, his elderly mother and wife were in charge of his home. When they heard that Li Chutian had arrived, they politely welcomed him in.

After thinking it over all night, Li Chutian decided to try diplomacy first, then resort to force. If the family tried to stall him and refused to help, he would have no choice but to use their leverage.

Li Chutian spoke in a gentle and kind tone, explaining his family situation.

The one who stepped forward was the old lady of the Ma family. Upon hearing this, she remained remarkably calm, though her aged face showed signs of fatigue: "Although my son has reached the rank of captain, he's really just a squad leader. He doesn't have that much influence... Your son's case is different from Ali's. Ali was the victim, but your son..."

"I'm afraid my family is powerless to help!" the old lady added.

Upon hearing this, Li Chutian's face darkened.

This family really wants to turn their backs on us!

“My son is innocent! As long as your Ma family intervenes, the magistrate will surely be able to investigate more thoroughly and clear his name!” Li Chutian stared at the other party and said angrily, “Old lady, I have always felt that my daughter is not good enough for your son, so I have no complaints about the marriage being changed. But if you stand by and do nothing now…”

"Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Today I will go to the Yicheng government office and expose to the public your grandson's deliberate plot to harm my daughter and send her into the Qi family's hellhole! Your Ma family has gone back on its word and ruined a person's life. My daughter is still at home, grieving and has tried to kill herself several times! I can't let this go!" Li Chutian threatened immediately.
