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

After Li Man was hit by her, he was in bad shape and would avoid her whenever he saw her.

They used to call Ali a coward, hiding his head and tail, but now that it's happened to them, they're shrinking their heads faster than a turtle.

"Tsk, poisoning one's own mother, if this news gets back to Ganhe Town, I wonder what will happen to Aman?" Li Shu's voice carried a hint of laughter, as if he was looking forward to that day.

Zhou heard it.

She knew she was very weak, but in her dazed state, she heard Li Shu's arrogant words.

She was so angry she wanted to get up and hit her, but she couldn't. She could only watch helplessly as her daughter was oppressed into silence, trembling with fear.

Li Shu, she sowed discord between mother and daughter, she's utterly vicious and despicable, God will surely punish her! Also, she knows that Aman stole those mushrooms from Li Shu, maybe she deliberately framed Aman!

What a vicious person!

"Uh—uh-uh—" Zhou opened her mouth and sobbed. In the distance, Li Shu seemed to hear her say the word "vengeful ghost."

Li Shu was somewhat surprised: "You want to become a vengeful ghost to take revenge?"

Zhou stared wide-eyed.

“I think so too. If you were killed by your own daughter, you’d definitely suffer a terrible fate.” Li Shu nodded in agreement. “Then why don’t you come and take Aman away soon? Don’t leave her to suffer in this world.”

Zhou family...

Graduate.

It’s really gone.

When Li Chutian rushed over, he was already dead.

"How could this be... I was also poisoned, why am I fine? Take another look!" Li Chutian was very anxious.

This time, it wasn't Doctor Cheng who came, but a small old man in his forties or fifties. Although he was old, he was still quite healthy and didn't seem tired after walking for a while.

After examining her, the other party simply replied in a standard tone, "Her body was already weak, and without timely treatment, it's natural that her condition will be much worse. Moreover, everyone's constitution is different. I've seen several people die after eating poisonous mushrooms before..."

"Look at her complexion, it's terribly yellow, which means her liver is severely damaged. Even if she doesn't die, she'll be sickly for the rest of her life." The doctor shook his head, once again expressing his helplessness.

Li Chutian slumped to the ground, completely lost in thought.

“I didn’t hurt Mother… I didn’t! It wasn’t me…” Li Man’s condition became even more abnormal.

Hearing his daughter's cries, Li Chutian suddenly reacted and quickly looked at the soldiers outside: "Sir! I don't want this daughter anymore. She... she... you can take her away and sell her to the military camp as a prostitute or to a brothel, it doesn't matter. She's not my daughter anymore!"

"..." The officers, soldiers, and doctors were all taken aback.

Li Shu raised an eyebrow.

"I have silver, is ten taels enough?! As long as you sell her, I'll give you my entire fortune!" Li Chutian was extremely eager.

Li Man also raised her head, as if she had regained some energy: "She picked the mushrooms, I didn't know..."

The soldiers already knew that Li Man had stolen mushrooms and caused his parents to eat them by mistake.

That's why they were shocked at this moment; Li Chutian wasn't selling Li Man, but another, seemingly more innocent, eldest daughter.

"Well..." The officer hesitated for a moment, about to answer.

At this moment, Li Shu finally spoke up: "Father, the officers and soldiers have no grudge against you, why do you want to harm them?"

"What does this mean?" the officers and soldiers asked immediately upon hearing this.

"Are you going to try and sweet-talk me again?! Sirs, don't listen to her. I absolutely haven't harmed you. She's my own daughter, and she is indeed disobedient and troublesome. Keeping her around will only bring disaster to the whole family, which is why I'm begging you..."

“Father, you can sell me, but you should explain my situation more clearly.”

"You should tell the officer that I almost became the daughter-in-law of the Ma family. Otherwise, if I really went to the army camp and was violated, where would the Ma family put their face?"

“Sir, the Ma family is all in the past… They already have a new daughter-in-law, why would they care about her life or death? I guarantee the Ma family won’t say anything! And if she doesn’t go to the military camp, she can be sold outside, anywhere is fine!” Li Chutian said immediately.

Li Shu sighed.

“Sir, I am truly sorry, but there has been a loss in my family, and my father is not able to accept it for a while…” Li Shu said, then sighed, “My stepmother has just passed away, and it is not convenient to move her body back to the old house. She can only be buried on the mountain, but this mountain belongs to the government. We know that we cannot occupy the government’s land for nothing, so… we are willing to spend twenty taels of silver to buy a grave mound, just to bury her. We beg you, sir, to have pity on us.”

"Li Shu!" Li Chutian called her name for the first time, but his voice was filled with grief and indignation.

Who wouldn't choose to sell someone for ten taels of silver or give them away for free for twenty taels?

While the unclaimed land does indeed belong to the government, this hill is so large that it's not impossible to secretly bury someone here.

But Li Shu opened his mouth.

“Father, you wouldn’t refuse to buy land to bury my stepmother, would you? She was Aman and Chuiguang’s biological mother!” Li Shu immediately said righteously.

Can Li Chutian say he won't buy it?

If he said that, it would be tantamount to telling the two constables that he was unwilling to spend the twenty taels of silver!

That's a lot of money. Can the officials really tolerate such a huge benefit slipping away right under their noses?

The two constables originally thought that selling a person was acceptable. A person could be sold for ten taels of silver, and with the ten taels given by the Li family, they could make a considerable profit. However, it would be troublesome, as they would need to sign a contract and find witnesses. Moreover, as constables, they were at risk of handling human trafficking. If they were reported, they might lose their jobs.

But now this little girl is directly saying she'll give you twenty taels for free.

They are so considerate that it makes people feel at ease.

Moreover, they were government officials, not bandits, and they weren't that immoral. They could watch a perfectly good young girl fall into a pit of fire, so naturally they knew what to choose.

Li Chutian looked exhausted.

Every time the officials went up the mountain, it wasn't for nothing!

Today he asked the officials for one tael of silver and the doctor for another tael of silver. He has already spent some money in the past. If he has to spend another twenty taels of silver now... will he still have any money left in three years?

Li Chutian's heart clenched, and he almost trembled as he handed over the silver.

The officials were pleased and pointed to a large plot of land next to them: "You can use that plot for burial. If you need a coffin, we can ask someone to buy one in town."

They hadn't expected that the Li family was so wealthy, able to come up with twenty taels of silver all at once.

He definitely still has some.

“No need—” Li Chutian said urgently, “Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, no need for a coffin…”

"Since that's the case, you should bury the person as soon as possible. Please accept our condolences. As for your daughter..." The official looked not at Li Shu, but at Li Man, "Although it was unintentional, killing one's own mother is still a serious matter. We will report this matter, and we can't say how it will be handled in the future..."

Li Man's face turned deathly pale: "Father, save me—"

"Sir! Those poisonous mushrooms belong to that girl Li Shu. We must arrest her!" Li Chutian saw hope again.
