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

Li Shu was still being poked in the nose and scolded by someone he had "just met".

His temper nearly flared up, and he wished he could fight Chen Ying three hundred rounds with her.

Chen Feiqing immediately pulled Chen Ying aside: "I already told you to speak properly... If you scare her like this, she'll be even less likely to run away!"

Chen Ying's face turned ashen, she snorted, and then her eyes reddened.

“Ah Li, what Ah Ying means is… now your affairs are under our family's jurisdiction. If you're willing, you can come with us directly. If the Li family makes a fuss and refuses to release you, we can also produce the contract that Father signed before…” Chen Feiqing explained amicably, “We've been waiting for you at home for two days, but you haven't come…”

They hoped that Ali could make the decision herself.

They were also afraid that if Ah Li changed her mind after they took the person away, or even claimed that they, the siblings, had forced her, then they wouldn't be able to explain themselves...

But as they waited and waited at home without seeing her, they couldn't help but worry that Ah Li might feel the Chen family didn't want her and was resigned to her fate...

They were also afraid that their momentary worries would lead to irreversible consequences, so they ultimately decided to come and take a look.

Li Shu glanced at the two men.

Chen Feiqing was tall and thin, and looked rather frail. Although he wasn't exactly weak, he wasn't exactly healthy either. He had fair skin and a handsome appearance.

Chen Ying's appearance is somewhat similar to Chen Feiqing's, only her features are softer.

"I don't plan to go to your house for the time being," Li Shu said politely, suppressing his temper.

"Brother! Listen to this! I told you she's a pig-brain, she'll never learn to be flexible!" Chen Ying was about to explode. "We've all come here, just to get you to come with us! That mountain isn't a good place. Do you want to freeze to death or be eaten by wild animals? That heartless couple from the Li family, didn't they just say at the yamen that everything Li Linsheng did was instigated by you? They want you to take the blame, they want your life!"

Chen Ying didn't know what was wrong with her; she just couldn't help feeling angry.

"Don't be angry! Reason with Ali!" Chen Feiqing quickly patted his sister.

"Isn't what I said reasonable?" Chen Ying said helplessly. "If she doesn't come with us willingly, then when the Li family demands her back, it will be our fault!"

"..." Li Shu looked at the irritable, monkey-like man in front of him, feeling complicated.

She had to endure being scolded... This was the first time she had ever experienced something like this.

"Does your aunt know you've come here?" Li Shu asked directly.

"Are you worried that my mother won't agree?" Chen Feiqing quickly waved his hand: "My mother knows. She looked unhappy, but she didn't stop me, so that means she agrees."

"Oh." Li Shu nodded. "Then let's wait a bit longer. I still have some things to take care of. Once I've finished them, I'll buy a house near your Chen family's place. That way, we won't bother each other and I can have peace of mind."

"..." The two were stunned.

What is she saying...?

Chen Ying carefully tugged at Chen Feiqing's sleeve, pulling him aside: "Brother... Ali seems to have really gone mad..."

"Don't talk nonsense..." Chen Feiqing's heart was pounding.

They stood outside the Li family's house for a long time, too embarrassed to go in. They met some neighbors who told them that Li Chutian was always saying that Li Shu was sick, and that she was just like Qi Yanfeng, going crazy whenever she was provoked...

They don't believe it!

but now……

Ah Li is different now!

She has something to take care of. What is it? She even said she wants to buy a house near the Chen family's house. Does she...do she have the money?! Does she even know how much a house costs?

Li Chutian didn't want her to live with the Chen family, so why would he want her to buy a house and move out?!

Seeing them whispering to each other, Li Shu immediately leaned over and said, "You two have come at the perfect time. I have something I'd like to ask you for a favor, is that alright?"

"..." The two looked at her, opened their mouths, and their sympathetic eyes became even clearer.

They nodded heavily together.

“I want to go to Yicheng. My cousin should be able to take me there, right?” Li Shu asked again.

Unmarried women face many restrictions when going out. If a man is with them, they can enter smoothly, but if not, they are likely to be questioned, or even refused entry into the city without sufficient reason.

Now that the Li family has a criminal record and a black stamp on their household registration, with the reason explained on it, they certainly won't be able to enter the city alone without anyone vouching for them.

Li Shu did not regret using this method to kill Li Linsheng, because it had the highest success rate for her current situation.

Li Linsheng was in far greater danger than Li Chutian and his wife. For her, every extra day the other party lived meant an extra day of danger for her.

"Go to Yicheng? It's possible, but what would you do there?" Chen Feiqing asked, puzzled.

“I’m going to buy some things. Didn’t you just say that I would freeze to death if I went into the mountains in my current condition? So I need to prepare some warm clothing and supplies,” Li Shu said earnestly.

She has over two hundred taels now!

She heard that the city has more supplies, and she wants to go and see!

She went to the city to go to jail before, and didn't have a chance to see the world. Now that she's gone into the mountains, she doesn't know when she'll be able to come back. Of course, she needs to replenish her supplies and put them in her space to feel at ease.

The brother and sister exchanged a glance, unsure of what Ah Li was up to.

Prepare warm clothing? Ah Li has no money!

But now they feel that Ali is acting strangely, and they don't dare to refuse her casually, for fear of upsetting her.

I had no choice but to agree.

Yicheng is not far from Ganhe Town, about half an hour's walk, but there are plenty of cattle and horses available for rent, so the three of them rented an oxcart and set off.

Of course, Li Shu couldn't let Chen Feiqing pay, so after entering the city, she took out five taels of silver and handed it over: "Thank you for helping me. You can take this silver and spend it. When you've spent it, wait for me here, and we'll go back together."

"..." Chen Feiqing was stunned.

Chen Ying took the silver with trembling hands and bit it with her teeth.

"Ah Li!" After confirming the truth, Chen Ying was about to go crazy. "Where did you get the money? Did Li Chutian give it to you? But... I don't think... that should be the case..."

Did Li Chutian finally realize Ah Li's good qualities after losing his son?

Absolutely impossible! Even if that person is dead, they won't have a change of heart.

Li Shu had already prepared his explanation, so he grinned and replied directly, "I dug it out from under the floor tiles in my cell when I was in jail last time! I still have some, so don't worry about spending them!"

After finishing his sentence, Li Shu didn't want to waste any more time and drove off in his oxcart.

The brother and sister were left standing there, stunned, as if they were still in a dream!

"She dug it up?! She managed to find silver while in jail?!" Chen Ying tapped her head. "Brother—"

"Shh—" Chen Feiqing was also quite nervous. "Don't shout. What if the yamen comes looking for her? She told us because she considers us one of her own. You better keep your mouth shut... Let's put this silver away for now. I think she's just throwing away five taels of silver at once. She must be someone who's been poor for a long time and is now rich but can't keep her money. We'll return the silver to her when she's short of money in the future."

They were both older than Ali, so how could they accept her things?

"You mean... but we originally agreed to take her back, so how did we end up agreeing to let her come to the city to buy things? Doesn't this mean we agreed to let her come into the mountains?" Chen Ying regretted it a little.

Chen Feiqing's emotions were also complicated. They hadn't seen Ali for three years, and in those three years, Ali had become a stranger to them.

She spoke with an open and calm demeanor. If going insane can make a person bold and confident, then... is having this kind of illness a good thing?

Both of them were experiencing emotional ups and downs, but Li Shu put them out of his mind for the time being.

With a "huge sum of money," she entered the city and thrived like a fish in water.

With a clear purpose, Li Shu first went to the bookstore and bought a copy of "Illustrated Materia Medica" worth twenty-seven taels of silver.

She doesn't know medicine and has no intention of learning it. After all, learning medicine is not something that can be accomplished overnight; it takes at least ten years of practice to achieve anything. Right now, she's just using this herbal book to learn about the vegetation in the mountains and familiarize herself with the environment.

Moreover, although this "Illustrated Materia Medica" is a book from several hundred years ago, it was written by a local doctor. The herbs, plants, and minerals recorded in it are almost all found in Lingshan, which matches the description perfectly.

Afterwards, she went to the pharmacy and bought some commonly used medicines.

You should have medicines for clearing heat and detoxifying, stopping bleeding, and treating injuries from falls and blows. In addition, you should also have medicines for poisonous insects and snakes.

The mountains are dangerous, and these medicines are not entirely effective. The rare and precious medicines are not available to ordinary people, and even if they are, the price is outrageously high. Li Shu understood this, so he did not complain.

Besides that, there are items for keeping warm.

She bought two sets of bedding, enough for herself. The original owner's clothes were thin, and the cotton clothes her uncle bought for her all became Li Aman's. Every winter, she wore old clothes that Zhou had altered. They looked clean and tattered on the outside, but they weren't warm inside.

Li Shu bought himself ten more sets of cotton-padded clothes. It was quite a lot, but having them inside made him feel secure.

Besides the cotton-padded coat, she also bought several kilograms of liquor and ginger, which she could boil and drink when it was too cold. Then there were leather boots and fur coats. She bought two pairs of expensive and warm boots, and the fur coats were made of ordinary sheepskin. Other leathers were expensive and sold to wealthy families in the city, which was not suitable for her outfit.

Li Shu worked for two hours, spending all the silver he had left, until he had only fifty taels left.

The space finally looked somewhat presentable; in that small corner, all sorts of things were displayed, including several boxes of snacks.

After buying something, Li Shu would move to a different place. Each time, she would make sure no one was around before putting the item into her spatial storage. Of course, she also left some items on the oxcart as a cover to avoid arousing suspicion.

As dusk fell, Li Shu returned to the agreed-upon location.

But before she reached her destination, her oxcart was blocked.
