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

Li Man was, after all, Li Chutian's most beloved daughter, and was spoiled as she grew up. Li Chutian even had high hopes for her, hoping that she would marry into a wealthy family in the future, live a good life, and help her brothers.

So even though Li Man disappointed him now, he still didn't intend to just send him away easily.

Pang Er listened, but felt that he was just pretending.

“I’ve heard that your little girl poisoned her own mother. Most people on this mountain are guilty, but we don’t care about such things. Look, it’s been so long and she’s still fine, which proves that the government is too lazy to care. But once you take her down the mountain and back home, things will be different. Then, people will be able to poke holes in your and your daughter’s backs.”

Li Chutian felt a pang of sadness: "She's still too young, she hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet."

“We brothers aren’t animals. We can let her have children in a few years, right? We just think she looks a bit silly and not very smart, so we want to take her back and train her a bit first… In the future, when you’re all alone, don’t talk about helping out. You can give us all your firewood. After all, isn’t it right for juniors to be filial to their elders?” Pang Er thought Li Chutian was easy to talk to, so he started to deceive him.

They wanted the Li family's daughter.

Li Chutian naturally also wanted the money in his hands.

If this relationship were legitimate, would this person still be able to hide anything? Dream on!

Li Chutian was not good at observing people's hearts. He just felt that his family was better than the Pang family, so it was only right for the Pang family to ask for a marriage proposal.

Hearing Pang Er's words, Li Chutian was truly moved.

Li Man is really useless. After she goes down the mountain, her reputation will be ruined, and she probably won't be able to marry into a good family. She will also be a burden to her younger brother. If we can help him at this time...

As he thought this, he felt a pang of reluctance and didn't want Li Man to suffer at the Pang family's house.

“My youngest daughter is different from my eldest daughter. She has never done heavy work since she was a child. She is a little slow-witted, but she is also innocent and pure-hearted and cannot stand hardship. Moreover, her mother just died, and in principle, both children are in mourning... Li Shu is old and not her biological daughter, so it is okay. But Aman... it would be too ugly if word got out.”

“What’s there to worry about? Your family just had a funeral, and we’re in the mountains. We can just say she got married before the mourning period, right? Father-in-law, don’t be so old-fashioned…” Pang Er sensed that Li Chutian wasn’t quite sure of himself, so he thought for a moment and backed down a step: “If you really don’t want to… then forget it. You still have an unmarried daughter, and we brothers can’t all go to help. Our strength is a bit limited…”

"Let me think about it first," Li Chutian said.

Pang Er did not press the matter further.

There'll be plenty of time later. Once one is won over, the other... it's only a matter of time.

This Li Chutian has neither a powerful backer nor any ability, so how could he possibly fly away?

……

Soon, everyone went their separate ways.

……

After Li Shu returned, he began digging a pit.

She chose a spot that was neither too close nor too far from the cabin to start working, and continued even as darkness fell, with the light on.

By the afternoon of the next day, the pit had become deeper than she was. She widened the pit and tied ropes around her to make it easier to get up and down. She threw the excavated soil directly into her spatial storage.

Finally, when the pit was about three or four meters deep, she found some dry grass and branches to cover it up.

After digging the hole, Li Shu felt it wasn't enough.

She herself was good at releasing malice, so she could also be very sensitive to the malice of others. The way Pang Er looked at her was not right, and later he and Li Chutian fell far behind the group. She didn't know what they said, but this situation made her feel unsafe.

Fortunately, she had both knives and arrows in her spatial dimension, so she wasn't in such a passive position.

After that, Li Shuan lived peacefully for several days, as if it were all her illusion.

Soon, it started snowing on the mountain.

Her little house has been reinforced several times and is now very sturdy; there's no need to worry about it collapsing.

But things were different for Li Chutian.

Li Shu had observed the two wooden houses several times before. The houses were built by Li Chutian himself, with several layers of woven thatch and several wooden supports around them.

The craftsmanship was poor, but Li Shu never warned him that there was something wrong with the house.

Before the snow fell too heavily, Li Shu secretly went there. While the father and daughter hurriedly packed their things, she took out a lot of thick tree trunks from her space and laid them down at an angle behind the wooden house. On the surface, these trees looked like they were supporting the roof.

But with the forces imbalanced, the collapse was inevitable.

After she finished doing those things, she returned to her residence.

The border is cold, and a snowfall can last a long time. At its worst, the snow can even break trees, so she has to stay indoors and frequently clean the surroundings to prevent the wooden house from being blocked by snow.

Even at midnight, the sky still looked somewhat bright.

A clanging sound suddenly rang out.

She had things hanging on the doors and windows of her house, linked by ropes, which served as a makeshift doorbell and warning device.

Upon hearing the noise, Li Shu immediately opened his eyes and looked towards the door without making a sound.

There were three figures at the door.

"Can I go back?" Li Man trembled and dared not utter a sound.

The Pang brothers glanced at her and thought her small frame was uninteresting. Besides, the second brother had already given instructions, so they immediately waved at Li Man impatiently, telling her to get lost.

Li Man felt a chill run down her spine as she glanced into the room.

It was a bit dark inside, and she couldn't see clearly, but she was a little scared, so she didn't scream and left immediately.

Father said this was the marriage he arranged for Li Shu, and she deserved it.

After Li Man left, the two tiptoed into the room, looked at the person on the bed, and showed a slightly satisfied expression.

"Fourth brother, I'll hold her down. You tie her hands and gag her. The snow isn't too heavy yet, so let's take her back first while we can." Pang San immediately gave the order. After speaking, he prepared to subdue Li Shu first so that his fourth brother could take action.

The two gradually drew closer.

I lifted the thick, warm blanket.

The next moment, Li Shu raised the knife in his hand and slashed at the person in front of him.

A knife slashed from her side to her chest, and blood gushed out from the wound that touched her skin, splattering her face.

Before she could even wipe herself, she rolled off the bed from another direction, still clutching the knife in her hand: "Did Li Chutian send you? Didn't he tell you? Would I really kill someone?"

Pang San was struck squarely and nearly lost his life.

Even though he wasn't killed instantly, the spot where the winter clothes were torn open and the flesh was bleeding. The pain made him fall to his knees, barely able to support himself.

Seeing this, Pang Si, who was standing nearby, was furious and pulled out a wood-chopping knife from behind his back.

Compared to Li Shu's gleaming, blood-dripping goose-feather knife, the woodcutter's knife looked much weaker.

Li Shu was, after all, a woman, so Pang Si wasn't particularly afraid. After a moment of shock, he disregarded his third brother and grabbed a wood-chopping knife, charging at Li Shu.
