Li Shu found it ridiculous. He didn't come to take her back as his daughter-in-law last night, but today, after she killed someone, he suddenly believed she was his daughter-in-law.
What kind of person is this who values gratitude? They don't care about repaying kindness; they care about saving face.
That's perfect. The original owner is dead, so she doesn't care about the Ma or Niu families anymore. Now that it's her turn, she doesn't have the mind to go back and compete with Yao Aning for a man. All she wants is to be safe and sound. With Captain Ma's abilities, it's not impossible for him to protect her, a murderer.
This is one of the reasons why she dared to kill Qi Yanfeng.
If you want to have fun, you always have to take some risks.
Li Shu didn't want to suffer Qi Yanfeng's temper, so she had to learn to restrain her anger and use the Ma family's influence to cross her narrow path.
“Since Young Master Ma has already consummated his marriage with Yao’s daughter, it would be superfluous for me to interfere. So this marriage is off. Cough cough… Besides, although I did not mean it, I still killed the young master of the Qi family. Aunt Qi is determined to tear me to pieces. I don’t know how long I will live… Since we are not destined to be together, why force it…” Li Shu’s voice grew softer and softer, like a rootless duckweed, which was heartbreaking to see.
How could Captain Ma let her die?
He immediately looked at the constable who had come to handle the matter, and his attitude was very clear: "I will go back to the yamen with you. The Qi family case has a different explanation and must not be treated as a murder case!"
For Captain Ma, saving Ali's life was not difficult.
Qi Yanfeng is a madman; the little girl was just protecting herself, that's for sure.
He couldn't accept the marriage between Qi Jia and Ali, otherwise he would be seen as a person who went back on his word. So he had to insist that the two had no marriage certificate and could not become husband and wife. However, Yao Aning, who had also been married off to the wrong person, would not be his daughter-in-law.
Everything was an accident. We need to resolve all the mistakes first before dealing with the troubles of our son and the Yao family.
Li Shu cooperated and quietly went to the yamen.
To outsiders, it seemed as if she had lost the will to live.
Li Shu had calculated the worst-case scenario.
If Commandant Ma doesn't come, and if the county magistrate is ruthless and sentences her to death, then the execution will probably be carried out in three months. During this period, she will likely be forced to work. If that's the case, then it's a survival scenario.
It's scary but exciting. Life might be tough, but I won't die anytime soon, so there's no time to panic yet.
If it was a direct execution...
It wasn't a complete loss; at least it avenged one-tenth of the original owner's grudges, so it wasn't a wasted trip.
If she didn't kill Qi Yanfeng, she could save herself all this trouble.
But she couldn't face the sorrow in the original owner's memories. That emotion was like a contagious virus, spreading throughout her mind and making her incredibly angry.
So just do it. As for whether you live or die afterward, that's up to fate.
Clearly, she was lucky; everything unfolded as she had envisioned.
Soon, Li Shu was imprisoned.
Fortunately, Captain Ma escorted her all the way to the county town. The county magistrate was kind enough to give her a clean and comfortable cell. She didn't say much the whole way, just stayed quiet and looked pitiful, which made people worry about her.
"Don't worry, I will hire the best lawyer for you and I will never let you be charged with murder. Miss Ali, you are a good girl. It was my good-for-nothing son who was ignorant and harmed you. When you get out, I will make him kneel in front of you to atone for his sins!" Captain Ma said earnestly, and he really felt that he had done something wrong.
If only he had gone to the Qi family to pick them up last night.
Unfortunately, by then his son had already been sleeping with a woman from the Yao family, which made it difficult to explain to the Yao and Qi families. So he thought that perhaps Qi Yanfeng and Ali could also become a couple, which is why he disregarded everything else.
A moment's lapse in judgment led to disaster.
Even if this little girl gets out of prison, she'll probably be ruined. After all that suffering and fright, what will become of her...?
Captain Ma sighed deeply.
Li Shu looked at him and slowly smiled: "Thank you for saving me, Uncle. I don't blame you. It was all an accident. It was just bad luck that I was sent to the Qi family by mistake."
"..." Captain Ma felt a pang in his heart. Meeting the innocent eyes of the little girl, he felt very guilty. "I have someone find you a doctor, and I have also taken care of your food, drink and other necessities. You can stay here and rest for a while. I... will come to see you another day."
After saying that, Captain Ma left in a rather disheveled state.
Watching the other person's back, Li Shu's smile gradually faded. He sat down on the wooden bed and let out a cold laugh.
Kneel down and atone to her?
Yes, it is necessary.
However, Ah Li is already dead. If Ma Chengting wants to kneel down, he should go to hell.
Only a naive girl like the original owner would simply think that this wrong marriage was an accident.
What a coincidence! On the same day, both families were getting married. What a coincidence! The bridal sedan chairs and wedding dresses were the same, and even the wedding processions were almost identical. What a coincidence! News of a bandit uprising also arrived... And what a coincidence! On their wedding nights, one family had just lifted their veil while the other had already finished their wedding.
Too many coincidences are man-made.
If Captain Ma didn't want Ali to join the sect, he wouldn't have used this method. So it was most likely Ma Chengting's idea, which was naive and terrifying, stubborn and self-righteous.
Ma Chengting's status was different from Qi Yanfeng's; Captain Ma also enjoyed considerable prestige in the town.
Li Shu was very sensible; she could distinguish between those she could kill now and those she could kill in the future.
Li Shu is resting and recovering.
If she had kept quiet about the wrong marriage, she would have been forgotten. But now that she has killed someone, she has made a huge fuss about it. Not only in the town, but in the entire Yun Jing Pass region, she might have become famous.
So even though she was in jail, it was much safer and quieter inside than outside.
Although the environment was average, it was still better than what the original owner had lived at home.
Her injuries were truly severe. She had endured the pain the whole way, and now that she was quiet, the pain was even more pronounced, to the point that she was grimacing and cursing the Qi family ancestors.
The doctor also came to see me; I have a broken rib and internal injuries.
He also had multiple external injuries on his body.
Li Shu still has some tinnitus symptoms, and her dizziness is probably due to a concussion, so she fainted not long after, which made the doctor very anxious.
"Ruthless! Absolutely ruthless! It's a miracle this little girl is still alive! Her ribs are broken and bleeding inside; that would have taken more than half her life. She also suffered a severe blow to the back of her head. With these injuries, if she had been unlucky, she would probably be dead by now. Sir, the assailant clearly intended to kill her and showed no mercy, leaving her so young and battered... It's a horrific sight."
Li Shu fainted, but those around her were still in pain for her.
Hemostatic drugs and painkillers have been used, but the numerous wounds all over the body make it impossible to know where to begin.
Some people initially thought that Li Shu had gone too far by killing someone, but now they felt that Qi Yanfeng, who took advantage of his madness to commit violence and bully a defenseless girl, was no different from those thieves and robbers and deserved to be torn to pieces!
