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

Yao Aning left somewhat uneasily.

The jewelry she brought today was chosen half a month ago. She and her husband had agreed that it would be given to Ali as part of her dowry as a token of apology. However, she didn't dare to show up then, fearing that Ali would become jealous if she saw her current happiness and try to sabotage her.

Only now that the Li family has encountered trouble has she been able to put her mind at ease.

She knew that Li Lin was dead and that the Li family would fall into ruin. Ah Li's life would probably be even more difficult, so he probably wouldn't dare to refuse her kindness.

Unexpectedly, Ah Li attacked her.

She has become much more ruthless.

Even after getting into the carriage, Yao Aning didn't forget to lift the curtain and check on Li Shu's situation, as if she was worried that Li Shu would seduce Ma Chengting and couldn't put her mind at ease.

At this moment, Ma Chengting felt guilty.

He sighed: "Ah Li, Ah Ning isn't a bad person. This crown was carefully chosen by her and me, and it was even made with Ah Ning's own money. You shouldn't waste her good intentions. However... I also know that you're upset because Li Linsheng just left, so we won't hold it against you. You don't need to be afraid."

Li Shu raised an eyebrow, pondering his words.

She was indeed a proud person; before she could even say she forgave him, he had already prepared a way out for her.

“You two are really interesting,” Li Shu suddenly chuckled.

"What?" Ma Chengting looked at her in confusion.

“Your tastes are remarkably similar, and extremely peculiar.” Li Shu sighed, still somewhat bewildered. “Each of you is engaged, yet you cheat on each other behind everyone’s back. Isn’t that exciting? You could have let two innocent people go earlier, but you presumptuously assumed that two other complete strangers could also become a couple… Such ‘disregard for propriety, adultery, and shamelessness,’ and you can still face it with equanimity, tsk…”

As Li Shu spoke, he glanced at Ma Chengting from head to toe, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he were examining something dirty.

Instantly, Ma Chengtin's face turned red: "Where did you get the idea that I'm stealing your wife! Ah Li, you're exaggerating!"

“See, you’re even more excited now that I’ve exposed you. Sure enough, you two have some unusual fetishes, right?” Li Shu said, nodding his head in agreement. “My opinion is absolutely correct. You are exactly that kind of person!”

"Shut up!" Ma Chengting lost his gentleness and panicked completely.

He was an educated man, how could he not know the seriousness of the twelve words Li Shu spoke?

And why is he excited?!

“Ah Li, you mustn’t talk nonsense! You and I aren’t even that close, you don’t understand me at all. I’ve always wanted to break off our engagement, but I also know that without me, your life will be even more difficult, so I can’t bear to do it…” Ma Chengting quickly said.

"No, no, no, I know you just don't want to admit you have a problem, I understand!" Li Shu waved his hand. "You don't need to be so polite with me, I understand! Besides, you said we're not close, so how can you be so sure I'll be okay without you? That's just self-deception, brother, face your own heart!"

Li Shu looked at him with a confident expression, as if the four words "Yi Nei Xi Qi" (meaning "cheating one's wife") were branded on his forehead.

Ma Chengting suddenly felt like he was talking to a brick wall!

Why can't this make sense?! He already said he had his reasons for doing those things!

How come I never realized before that Ali was such an arrogant person?!

"I... can't reason with you!" Ma Chengting was furious, turned and left, not wanting to talk to Li Shu anymore.

He went to find Li Chutian.

A while ago, Li Chutian kept bothering his grandmother, which made him very angry. Now that Li Linsheng is dead, he is afraid that Li Chutian will hold a grudge. Therefore, he must give him a heads-up to make him behave himself.

Li Chutian was completely dazed.

Because he knew that this family was finished.

This case involving bandits is not completely closed yet!

Within three days, the government will punish the Li family, and his whole family will be implicated... Zhou can now be immersed in the pain of losing his son, but as the head of the family, he cannot only think about his eldest son, but also about himself and his youngest son!

He now only has one son, Chuiguang!

The crime of colluding with bandits is punishable by execution for the mastermind, and his family will certainly be implicated. He will definitely lose his job at the post station...

He might even be implicated and sentenced to military service, or forced into mining or manual labor...

His youngest son has been very sensible since he was a child. He has studied hard over the years and could at least become a secretary when he grows up. But now, he can't even go to school anymore. What future does he have?

The only saving grace is that the youngest son is under twelve years old and should not be subject to punishment...

Thinking about what he would have to face next, Li Chutian felt very uneasy. The pain in his arm seemed to be a reminder that none of this was a dream.

"Uncle Li!" Ma Chengting appeared, intending to be polite before resorting to force, so he greeted him respectfully.

However, his voice startled Li Chutian, whose face instantly turned pale, and whose voice was filled with unconcealed panic: "What do you want to do!?"

"..." Ma Chengting was somewhat confused. Seeing the other party's bad attitude, he also snorted coldly and said, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you what you want to do? My Ma family is not a vegetable market, not a place you can just go wherever you want! Because you are Ali's father, I respect you and call you uncle, but if you dare to bother my grandmother again, don't blame me for not giving you face!"

His grandmother was driven crazy by Li Chutian!

Moreover, this Li Chutian, who looks like a gentleman on the surface, is surprisingly shameless and even threatened them!

He was the one who made the mistake of marrying her to the wrong person, so what!

Li Chutian wants to file a complaint with the government; go ahead and do so!

He didn't kill anyone or set any fires; it was just a joke. So what if he mixed up the bridal sedan chairs in the chaos? He didn't force Qi Yanfeng to bully Ali. The magistrate, out of respect for his father, would at most reprimand him and make him compensate for some of the losses!

He's already made amends to the Yao family. As for the Qi family... they weren't without fault either; giving them a few taels of silver to get rid of them was already considered kind. As for the Li family...

His father did contact Li Chutian afterwards!

After Ah Li committed the murder, his father did his best, even saying he wanted to take Ah Li home, but Ah Li refused!

The Ma family has done everything they could to deal with these troubles; they've already done more than enough. What more could Li Chutian want?

Ma Chengtin was arrogant, his eyes filled with disdain, coldly threatening. When Li Chutian heard these words and met those fierce eyes, it was as if he had returned to last night. The cold blade seemed to flash before his eyes again, the blood and pain stimulating his brain, and fear instantly surged into his heart. He was so frightened that his old face trembled and he fell to the ground...

“You…you…you want to kill me?!” Li Chutian blurted out.

“???” Ma Chengting frowned.

Is Li Chutian out of his mind?! When did he ever say he was going to kill someone?!
