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

The weather was already cold, and Li Shu's words made Li Man feel even colder.

Her pale face turned to Li Shu, and she swallowed instinctively: "You...you want my parents to die?"

“I’m just telling you a solution.” Li Shu said seriously, “Don’t you think you’re innocent? You did nothing wrong, but because of Li Linsheng’s mistake, your parents brought you to this godforsaken place where you’re starving and cold. In three years… you might freeze to death on the mountain.”

"Shut up! How could you be so vicious! I even called you 'elder sister' and went against my mother for your sake. So this is what you were thinking! I would never harm my parents. You don't have a mother yourself, so you think I don't have one either? You're a wicked person, a jinx!" Li Man was furious.

She felt that all her good intentions had been wasted.

She had been having a very open and honest conversation with Li Shu the other day!

Looking back now, how foolish I was.

"You've got guts." Li Shu gave a thumbs up. "Then keep up the good work. It seems we're not on the same wavelength. I suppose you won't be coming here for food and drink anymore. In that case, goodbye."

"..." Li Man stood there awkwardly.

She wanted both integrity and a comfortable life.

They want to be a good person in name only, but they don't want to suffer any loss themselves.

"I...I'm not leaving! You made my mother get beaten, you have to take responsibility! Otherwise, otherwise I...I'll burn your house down!" Li Man immediately threatened, "You said it yourself, it's getting cold, if you don't have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, you'll freeze to death when winter comes!"

She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she had found a way to control Li Shu.

“Setting fire? You can try it.” Li Shu laughed. “If you really do it, I’ll be very happy, because I can add some firewood for you and set the whole mountain on fire. Someone will take the blame for me, which is a good thing.”

"How dare you?!" Li Man was furious.

At this moment, she realized that she was helpless against Li Shu!

This person is unreasonable, shameless, and even a despicable scoundrel!

She stared at Li Shu, on the verge of tears, looking utterly pitiful, but Li Shu remained unmoved.

Li Man stormed out of the house in anger, gasping for breath. Helpless and confused, she didn't know how to get revenge on Li Shu and felt very upset.

Just as Li Man was about to leave, he saw the things that Li Shu had left outside.

Outside the wooden house, a thick layer of leaves was spread out on the ground, and on top of that were some mushrooms. After being exposed to the wind and sun, these mushrooms had become semi-dry and soft, and they looked to weigh several pounds. There was also a small bamboo basket next to them for storing them.

Li Man pursed her lips and, almost without hesitation, stepped forward to cover the leaves and stuffed them all into the bamboo basket.

After finishing quickly, I took off and left.

She can't burn down Li Shu's house, but she can take her things!

Li Shu wasn't home every day, but she could come over often and take away all the wild vegetables and dried fruits she had hung out to dry! Even... her firewood!

When winter comes, Li Shu will freeze to death!

After Li Man left, Li Shu went outside and was not surprised to see the missing items on the ground.

She often lives in this small house. It would be strange if she didn't keep some things in the house, but meat would be too conspicuous and attract thieves, so she often puts some wild vegetables or other things outside, just to make it look nice.

She openly left things outside, even things she wasn't sure if she could eat.

After all... she doesn't eat it!

Even if someone steals them, it won't hurt; you can even test whether those plants are poisonous.

Li Man wants to steal, so let her steal. She'll eat herself to death... but who's to blame?!

After returning home, Li Man was still furious, but now she was isolated and helpless, so she could only work diligently. After finishing all the housework, she also had to cook. She had eaten a lot of good food at Li Shu's place recently, so she had no doubt about the food that Li Shu had stored up.

Moreover, she had eaten stewed mushrooms before.

Therefore, Li Man clumsily boiled water and made soup, grabbing a large handful of mushrooms and putting them in.

She was a beginner cook and her skills weren't great, but since she was here, she didn't have the right to be picky. So she quickly made the mushroom soup and also cooked some whole grains.

When Li Chutian returns, she will still have many things to do.

She had to move the firewood her father had chopped to its proper place, and then chop more firewood. After her mother fell ill, her father had said that she couldn't rest until she finished all the work... And she had been out for a long time today; there was still a lot to do before dark...

But as night fell, something went wrong at home.

The couple started vomiting and having diarrhea.

Li Chutian was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat, his legs went weak, and he touched his chest, feeling as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest. Something was very wrong.

Soon, Li Chutian realized that the mushroom soup he had eaten that day was most likely poisonous.

He forgot his anger and scrambled to where the silver was hidden, dug it out, and handed two taels to Li Man: "Quickly...go find a doctor! Follow...follow that red ribbon outwards, halfway up the mountain there...there are a few small houses where the guards live..."

"Father! Father, what's wrong?!" Li Man panicked as well.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Li Chutian shouted, using almost all his strength. "Go and call a doctor!"

He felt dizzy, had difficulty breathing, and felt generally unwell.

If this brat doesn't go soon, he might be poisoned to death!

Li Man dared not delay and hurriedly ran outside. However, it was pitch black, and as soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, he stumbled and rolled away. He couldn't see the red or black silk at all, so he hurriedly went back to find a torch!

Li Chutian also tried to save himself by inducing vomiting.

Although he knew that it had been some time since he had eaten it, and that the vomiting effect should not be significant now, he had no other choice!

On the other side, Zhou was in even more pain than Li Chutian. She curled up in pain, but this aggravated her wounds. After a commotion, the room was filled with a sour smell and was a mess.

Neither the couple knew how they got through the night.

They didn't arrive until noon the next day.

Li Man met the officials in the middle of the night yesterday, but there were no doctors available at that time. He had to wait until early morning to borrow a military doctor from the nearest military camp.

Cheng Mian hadn't planned to leave the military camp, but he happened to hear that the prisoners on the mountain had been poisoned. Thinking of the poor little girl, he decided to come and bring her some things, so he took the initiative to replace the other doctors and come here.

But seeing the appearance of the Li couple, he was somewhat stunned.

There wasn't even room to step inside, and the two of them were filthy...

“I got these mushrooms from my older sister. I didn’t know they were poisonous. I have no idea how they turned out like this…” Li Man was terrified and confessed everything before anyone could ask.
