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

Captain Ma was so angry that his liver ached when he saw his son, who was still completely unaware of the truth.

"Qi Yanfeng, he's dead!" he exclaimed angrily.

"Dead? Died of illness? That can't be right. This person just has a mental problem, but he's actually a good person. If his headache can be cured one day, he might be able to make something of himself. Maybe Miss Ali will even thank me then! So, Dad, did you hear the wrong news?" Ma Chengting was very proud, even feeling that he had facilitated a good marriage.

He genuinely felt that he had done the right thing.

He looked down on Ali and had wanted to break off the engagement for a long time, but he also knew that his father was unwilling.

He didn't understand the rules of the military camp. He only knew that his father had been saved by a soldier and then forced into this marriage. It was all so ridiculous!

My father was very stubborn. Despite my grandmother and mother's repeated attempts to persuade him, he remained obstinate.

Later, he thought that it would be best if Ali would break off the engagement. However, after getting to know Ali, he felt that without him, Ali's life would be over. After all, who would want to marry a girl like that?

She was taciturn and lifeless, like a stagnant pool of water that never sees the sun, her heart filled with a rotten, lifeless aura.

He didn't want to watch Ali dry up completely, but he also didn't want to sacrifice the rest of his life to be a good person.

So a long time ago, he decided to use this method.

He was able to marry the woman he loved, and Ali was able to find a husband.

Qi Yanfeng himself is ill, so naturally he can't complain that Ali isn't good enough. The Qi family has a lamp oil business, so although they are not rich, they are not worried about food and drink. After Ali marries into the family, she will live a peaceful and stable life.

Captain Ma looked at his son with a gloomy expression: "Now is not the time for you to act recklessly! The servants just brought news that Qi Yanfeng was persecuting Ali, and Ali resisted fiercely, accidentally killing Qi Yanfeng in the process!"

"..." Ma Chengting's body suddenly stiffened, and his heart pounded violently for a moment. "Really... dead?"

Yao Aning, who was standing next to her, also widened her eyes.

“Yesterday was a day of celebration in our family. All my comrades in the army who were free came to our house for the wedding feast. There were also a few who stayed in town and didn’t go back. This news will surely spread. If people find out that I, a dignified captain, let my son commit evil and arrange a marriage, where will I put my face!”

“That girl from the Li family is the most innocent in this matter. If she is arrested by the authorities and forced to pay for Qi Yanfeng’s life, I will never be able to hold my head up again!”

After saying this, Captain Ma turned and left.

Ma Chengting was stunned by the news: "A-Ning, didn't you say that Qi Yanfeng was sick, but mostly fine? How could he... beat Ali on their wedding night? Now that Ali has killed someone, what is she going to do?!"

“I don’t know… could it be that Qi Yanfeng found out the bride wasn’t me, and that’s why he got sick… Miss Ali is so pitiful, how can we help her?” Yao Aning quickly added.

The two of them were like headless flies, completely at a loss for what to do.

When Captain Ma arrived at the Qi family's gate, a large crowd had already gathered. Officials from the yamen had arrived, and Qi Yanfeng's body had been carried out.

The wounds on the corpse were horrifying.

Mother Qi had also received the news and was rushing over. She arrived one after the other with Captain Ma. Upon seeing the person on the ground, she rushed over like a madwoman, crying out, "My son—"

"You vile woman, you killed my son! I'll make you pay with your life!" Mother Qi moved swiftly, her fingers trembling under the intense mental stimulation, her flared nostrils like tattered wings struggling in pain.

Li Shu immediately dodged away, her voice soft and weak as she said, "He tried to kill me! I don't want to marry him, I've never had any engagement with him... The Ma family, I want to marry into the Ma family..."

Captain Ma's heart trembled. He had no choice but to step forward and immediately block Qi's mother.

"Let's talk this out, don't resort to violence!" Captain Ma said immediately.

"Easy to talk to?! Why doesn't she talk to my son properly?! My son is dead! She's a murderer, so what if I beat her to death?!"

Lieutenant Ma felt a bitter taste in his mouth: "Looking at her, do you think she's a murderer? I inquired before I came here. When Qi Yanfeng goes berserk, even three or five adult men might not be able to control him. If this little girl doesn't fight back against a man like that, how will she survive?!"

Li Shu's lips twitched slightly as he looked up at Captain Ma, his eyes filled with cold indifference.

The original owner remembered the other person's face; it was almost etched into her mind.

In her entire life, not many people were kind to her.

My mother died early, and I relied entirely on my grandfather to survive until I was three or five years old, but my grandfather is no longer here.

After that, her uncle was another one, but he was a soldier in the army. Because he lived close to home, he could see her once or twice a year and would bring her some clothes and food. Her aunt was not a bad person, but she was not particularly affectionate towards her either.

After her uncle arranged such a good marriage for her, her aunt, though not scolding or beating her, did not want to see her anymore.

Her maternal uncle's family had cousins ​​who had protected her, but the original owner had such a father and stepmother, so when trouble came, she only dared to hide and not fight back. Over time, her cousins ​​also felt disheartened and became estranged from her.

Even her uncle told her after her engagement that the marriage was too good to pass up, and that he was afraid she would regret it or become jealous in the future. So he said he would not associate with her anymore and that she should live her own life.

Two years ago, when Captain Ma went to propose marriage on behalf of his son, Ali was genuinely grateful.

She felt that the Ma family were all good people, and they didn't mind that she was unlikable or incompetent. She believed that if she married into the Ma family, she would definitely take good care of him.

She had nothing but this marriage.

Therefore, in Ali's heart, Captain Ma was like a kind father, and she had high hopes for him.

But the elders whom the original owner trusted wholeheartedly did not go to the Qi family to pick her up immediately after the mistake occurred. During the two hours that Qi Yanfeng beat her, the original owner wondered countless times why...

Why did Captain Ma agree to let her be his daughter-in-law, but then go back on his word?

Why couldn't he come and see what kind of hell she was going through, when such a big thing was happening?

Li Shu could sense the original owner's despair and pain.

“Uncle Ma, you’ve come to pick me up, right? Qi Yanfeng said that Young Master Ma and Yao Aning have already shared a room, but how could that be? Young Master Ma knows me, he knows that’s not me, right?” Li Shu asked the question the original owner should have asked.

This question felt like a knife scraping across Captain Ma's face.

The onlookers listened with the same questions, and even some of the men who had attended the Ma family's wedding the day before were frowning.

Once you reach the position of Captain Ma, integrity is of utmost importance.

Captain Ma could be a lecherous man, or even a gambler, but he could not be a man of broken promises. Ah Li's uncle had saved his life, and he had personally promised to marry his niece to his son in front of many soldiers and comrades.

Therefore, justice must be served now.

Captain Ma's face was grave: "It's all my fault for not disciplining him properly. That brat drank too much yesterday, and after entering the bridal chamber, he was completely confused... But don't worry, since your uncle has decided to make you his daughter-in-law, he will never go back on his word! I will take you back, and you will still be that brat's legal wife!"

"What about the Yao family girl?" Li Shu asked him.

“Without a matchmaker or betrothal, even if we bow to heaven and earth, she will only be a concubine,” Captain Ma said resolutely.
