"He won't die. My kick was hard, but skillful. You're an interesting woman. Didn't you just say he raped you? Why are you worried about him now?"

Cen Xi observed the woman who had been silently weeping just moments before with great interest. She had acted all innocent and pure just moments ago, so why was she worrying about others now?

"I…!"

After Cen Xiyi's reminder, Widow Cui immediately reverted to her persona, silently shedding tears without offering any explanation or saying a word.

She looked at Cen Xi with a pitiful expression.

Cen Xi felt a chill run down her spine under her gaze, thinking that she didn't have any deep-seated hatred for her, and that it had nothing to do with her if the other person was indecent.

He then said with disdain:

"Alright, alright, I'm not a man, I don't know how to be gentle with women, but you really didn't provoke me, and cheating on me isn't a big deal, it won't ruin my family's reputation, I don't have time to bother with your family's mess. If you know what's good for you, get inside and don't come out."

"As for you, you wild man, since you dared to have such evil intentions, don't blame me for dealing with you."

Ah! Oh!

Widow Cui turned her head to look at the man, then stared blankly at Cen Xi. Without saying a word, she took three steps in two and went into her room, then closed the door tightly, as if she had never been there.

Cen Xi scoffed at her appearance, then turned and smiled at the man who had finished spitting out blood.

"Are we settling accounts here or outside? Do you think your companion might run away? Hey, what's his name? I always hear him calling you Li Lao Er, but I've never heard you call him that. Doesn't he have a name?"

“Let’s go out. Widow Cui is innocent. There’s no need to cause her trouble. My companion is Cui Da Dai, a good-for-nothing from the Cui family. He was the one who instigated this. He’s the ringleader, and I’m just an accomplice. Please, Princess, spare me this time. Li Lao Er will be eternally grateful.”

Li Lao Er glanced at the tightly closed door and listened to his son sleeping inside. He no longer blamed Widow Cui for her heartlessness. In any case, she had left him an heir, and he should protect her.

"Now you're showing some manly spirit, fine, I'll spare your life. As for punishment, you know very well that you deserve it. Heaven is watching what people do; those who commit wrongdoings must accept the punishment. You'd better obediently come with me, princess!"

Cen Xi chuckled, reached out and scooped the man into her hand, then leaped out of Widow Cui's courtyard.

Then they arrived at the village entrance. Looking at the plaque at the village entrance, Cen Xi curled her lips and threw the man to the ground.

They beat him severely, until he was crying and gasping for breath.

Cen Xi then used his sword to slash his clothes, then tied him up with a rope and stood on the city wall at the village entrance. With a pull, he hung him on the city tower at the village entrance.

After doing all this, she took off the man's smelly socks and stuffed them into the dog's mouth.

Looking at his masterpiece, he nodded in satisfaction before turning to find another one.

She moved very quickly and soon arrived at Cui's house.

As luck would have it, just as she arrived, Cui, probably following Li Lao Er's example, tiptoed out the door.

Moreover, the direction they were heading was actually towards Widow Cui's house.

Cen Xi felt like she'd been fucked. Could this bastard also be a womanizer of Widow Cui?

And how did they time it so precisely? It was exactly the opposite of Li Lao Er's time.

Are these three time management masters?

Hearing a knock at the door in the middle of the night, Widow Cui quietly got out of bed, then unlatched the door and opened it for Cui Daneng.

Are the children all asleep?

Why are you here?

Widow Cui stared intently at who it was, and a chill ran down her spine. She quickly pushed the door shut again, intending to bolt it.

"Widow Cui, what do you mean? Isn't our agreed time this time every night? Why are you pushing me away again?"

When Cui Daneng saw that the woman was about to close the door, he pushed his way through the gate and squeezed into the courtyard, then glared angrily at the widow Cui.

"It's pointless. The kids are sick today, so you'd better leave quickly. If they cry and someone sees them, we're both doomed."

Without batting an eye, Widow Cui fabricated a lie: this man was someone who had conspired with Li Lao Er to frame the princess.

She had just escaped one disaster and didn't want to encounter any more danger.

"Stop pretending. I know you have many men, but I love you the most, don't I? Did Li Lao Er come by just now? You didn't go with him? That's good. Li Lao Er is very unreliable. If you went with him, you'd only have a hard life."

"Pack your things now and come with me. I've secretly bought a house in the county town, just for you. We'll live there secretly, and no one will find out."

Seeing how she was trying to scare him, Cui couldn't help but easily expose her secrets. Then he began to coax her gently. This woman was a pleasure to behold, and if he could secretly take her away, he would be excited for days.

"You...! I had no choice. You know the life my daughter and I live. I can't do farm work, and those men sneak into my house, and I can't stop them. There's no... no man to stand up for me, I..."

Widow Cui was indignant when he exposed her shortcomings a moment ago, but when he learned that he had bought a house and wanted to take her away, she was tempted. Life in the countryside was not as good as life in the city. If this scoundrel could really take her away, why should she not marry him?

So as she spoke, she eventually couldn't continue and silently shed pitiful tears.

"Don't cry, it breaks my heart to see you cry! Hurry up and pack your things, I'll take you away tonight."

"You've kept quiet all these years, but the child you told the clan about being a posthumous child was actually my child, wasn't it? I think he looks a lot like me."

When Cui saw Widow Cui crying, his eyes, filled with heartache, immediately fell on her, making him look just like a good husband.

"Um!"

Widow Cui glanced at Cui Da Dai with pity before going inside to tidy up.

Cen Xi watched this scene from the roof beam, and her laughter was so wide it almost reached her ears.

Judging from the way this widow Cui is fooling people, well! Clearly, this Cui is probably even better at deceiving people than that Li Lao Er.

Regardless of whether his claim about owning property in the city is true or not, his performance in this scene alone would definitely earn him an Oscar if he were in modern times.

No wonder Widow Cui was moved and went with him.

About half an hour later, Widow Cui quickly got ready. She and Cui, carrying bundles and each holding one of their sons, quietly prepared to go out.

As soon as they opened the door, they saw a woman looking at them with a mesmerizing smile.

Cui and Widow Cui trembled with fright and screamed repeatedly. They both knew who this person was; tonight they…

They fear that none of them will be able to leave.
