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

Looking at the Li family now, Li Shu was completely satisfied. The devastated ruins were like the memory left after fireworks, beautifully gray.

……

Meanwhile, Granny Qi, who was being escorted to the Yicheng government office, was devastated and full of grievances.

She said she didn't set the fire.

She said that the fire was deliberately set by Li Shu to frame her, and that the Li family had a lot of tung oil hidden away, which they had stolen from her before!

Whether the Li family had hidden tung oil is unknown, but two small buckets tied with red ropes were found in the Li family's courtyard. These buckets were used by the Qi family to store tung oil, and the Qi family can still find several similar ones.

In addition, there were traces of tung oil on Granny Qi's body, which were obviously recent stains, not old dirt.

Granny Qi only said that she was in the tung oil business, so it was inevitable that she would be dirty.

But her appearance at the Li family's house in the middle of the night already suggested a strong motive.

That same day, officials came to Ganhe Town to question Li Shu and his sister.

Li Shu's testimony was simple. She only said that she heard some noise, opened her eyes and saw that there was a fire. She quickly ran out to call for help and caught Granny Qi, who was trying to escape.

Li Shu's words matched what his neighbors had said.

The most important thing is Li Chuiguang's testimony.

Li Chuiguang recounted how Granny Qi had forced him to drink and stolen his money. He only knew that the house had caught fire as soon as Granny Qi left, and he was certain that the two dirty oil drums had never been in the house before; Granny Qi must have brought them herself…

The only discrepancy is that Li Chuiguang said he closed the gate at night, while Granny Qi said the gate was open.

However, Li Shu added something about the door, explaining that her father had just passed away, the funeral could not be held, and no one came to pay their respects. She was worried that her father's spirit would have nowhere to go, so she left the door slightly ajar to prevent the ghost from being unable to enter when it wanted to come back to see its loved ones.

Li Shu's statement is quite reasonable.

There has been a death in the Li family.

Moreover, just because the gate is open doesn't mean that Granny Qi can just walk in and rob people as if no one else is there!

Granny Qi also mentioned a little beggar, but beggars are everywhere, and she didn't even know what the little beggar looked like. The officials searched the whole street but couldn't find him.

Even if she didn't commit arson, it was already a serious crime. Therefore, there was no suspense in this case. Once all the procedures were completed, the government could make a decision directly.

However, before the case was settled, Li Shu, as a "lone star," was ostracized even more.

This group of people had picked so many peach branches from somewhere, filling almost the entire alley. They were everywhere you looked, and some even brought talismans and pasted them in front of the Li family's house. Their eyes were full of wariness as they looked at Li Shu.

“Ah Li, we’ve watched you grow up. Your mother died right after you were born, and we never said you were a jinx to your mother, but now… think carefully, did you pick up some evil spirits in prison? We heard you still have ten acres of fertile land that your father gave you. Why don’t you sell the land and hire a master to come back and take a look?” The neighbors looked distressed, genuinely a little scared.

A family of six, now apart from Ali herself, the others... are all in dire straits!

"Pah! Pah! Pah!" Chen Ying exclaimed angrily, hands on her hips. "Why don't you say it's because their family treated Ah Li so badly, and they're getting their comeuppance?!"

Facing so many people, Chen Ying felt a little intimidated, but she couldn't afford to lose in terms of momentum.

“We really didn’t mean any harm! But your situation is too serious. You just got home, the house wasn’t even warm yet, and now your home is gone!” The neighbors were all horrified. “We heard you’re going to live with your uncle. For the sake of the Chen family, you need to take this seriously…”

Li Shu scratched his head, also feeling that he had made this title a bit too prestigious.

Look at these people's attitudes; it's not disdain, but rather... reputation.

Li Shu didn't intend to fight everyone to the death, so at this moment, she didn't argue with these people.

She simply said quietly, "You're right, I'm too tough. I can't go to my uncle's house, it would be bad if I disturbed them, so... I'll just make do here in these ruins!"

"no!!"

"no!"

"..."

When Li Shu said this, many people spoke at the same time.

The Chen siblings and the general public.

She touched her nose, but before she could speak, an older man stepped forward. He was a highly respected elder in the alley.

The other party had two large baskets carried over and pushed them in front of Li Shu.

“Since your Li family and Chen family have signed the contract, you can’t stay here any longer. We’re not heartless people. If you’re willing to leave, each of our families is willing to provide some food for you to take with you… Rice prices are high these days, and this basket has quite a bit of it. It should be enough for you to eat until spring when it’s warm.” The old man said tremblingly.

"Yes, we had someone calculate it, and your birth chart is incompatible with this place. Staying here isn't good for you..."

"Don't worry, if you ever suffer any injustice in the future, we will all be your family. Just let us know, and we will definitely help you if we can, without hesitation!"

"..."

Each one of them was incredibly determined.

"But haven't you considered that if you can't tolerate me, are other places any more tolerant than you?" Li Shu wasn't upset and said bluntly, "I'm afraid that people in this surrounding area who are well-informed don't want to get any closer to me, do they?"

Those around her died relatively cleanly.

“Moreover…” Li Shu’s gaze turned to the Yao family again, “I’m not reconciled.”

"..." The Yao couple's hearts tightened. "Why are you looking at us?! We haven't offended you. That...marrying the wrong person was all an accident!"

“I was just thinking, my family was destroyed, while your family is thriving. It seems like it all started with that marriage!” Li Shu didn’t hide anything anymore. “Everyone says that mistake was unintentional, but who can guarantee that?”

“When I look at your Yao family now, it’s like seeing bloodsucking insects. I’m terrified! Now that you’ve replaced my Li family, will you steal some benefits from other families in the future?” Li Shu added.

"!!!" Yao's mother panicked, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"If I became a cursed loner because I went to prison, then... Yao Aning from the Yao family is the thief who stole my good fortune! She's the bastard who killed my parents and relatives." Li Shu seemed to have found her logic, and after speaking, she nodded seriously. "That's it! If I marry into the Ma family, my younger brother won't risk cooperating with bandits for his future, my parents won't have to go up the mountain to serve their sentences... my father will still work at the post station, and although my life will be hard, I'll have someone to rely on and won't be kicked out..."

Yao's parents felt their hair stand on end, and they felt goosebumps rising on their skin.

Li Shu's words were not only unreasonable but also shameless, practically putting the Yao family on the fire!

From now on, as long as the Yao family lives well, someone will say: "That was stolen!"
