Chu Xiaoxiao was thrown into a book, reincarnating as a cannon fodder meant to be drowned shortly after birth. Outraged, she saved herself and vowed to change her family’s doomed fate.
...Qian looked back at Lu who was making sarcastic remarks. Her pretty face instantly twisted into a hideous one, as if she wanted to bite off a piece of her flesh.
"Lu! Why don't you just die! When will it be your turn to interfere in my affairs?
So what if Wang was sold by me? I spent the money from her selling her body, is it your business? "
Before Lu could reply, the other women started to talk back to Qian.
"Oh! You look so gentle and weak on the outside, but you actually have a vicious heart. I've heard of people selling their children, but I've never heard of people selling their brother's wife."
"Qian Shi really opened our eyes. She was so desperate for money that she even set her sights on my brother's wife. How did she do it?"
"I don't know about that. He should be in collusion with the people in the brothel. Do you see the man on the ground? He is a eunuch in the brothel. He should be related to the Qian family."
"Really? Didn't the turtle slave come with Wang?"
"You are stupid! How could someone who came with Wang be kneeling on the ground?"
"......"
The people were whispering to each other, analyzing what was happening in the hall according to their own thoughts.
"Bang!"
Xu Zhizhou slammed the gavel and everyone was silent.
Wang knelt down and shouted, "Sir! I am suing Qian for forcing me into slavery, framing my husband He Lao Er, killing my husband's elder brother He Lao Da, and usurping the He family's property."
Upon hearing this, Qian cursed: "Wang! You are talking nonsense! I didn't do it at all, why are you accusing me?"
Xu Zhizhou looked at her and said, "Qian! Don't yell in court. I already know everything about you. Do you want to confess yourself or let me interrogate you? Tian Si! What about you? Do you want to confess?"
Tian Si raised his head and looked at Xu Zhizhou. He was attracted by the little girl sitting next to him. He felt that the girl's facial features were too beautiful. If he kept her for a few more years, she would definitely become the top prostitute in the brothel.
His strong professional habit made him forget what he was going to say and he just stared at the little baby sitting above.
Chu Xiaoxiao glared at him and pointed at him: "You, speak."
Li Sizu hated the way Tian Si looked at Xiaoxiao, so he stepped over and blocked her behind him, fearing that she would be tainted by Tian Si's gaze.
Tian Si was infected by the voice of the milk ball, and said with a smile: "Qian's real name is Qian Xing'er, she was a brothel lady, and was redeemed by He Lao Da and married to him as his legal wife.
Boss He lied to people that she was the daughter of a respectable family, but her parents' home was far away and it was inconvenient to visit her. "
Before he finished speaking, the people nearby started talking again.
"Oh my god! No wonder Qian is so pretty, she turned out to be a prostitute. I've been her neighbor for so many years and I don't know her background. Boss He kept it a secret."
"No wonder Boss He gives in to her in everything and provides her with good food and drink all day long. It turns out that this is how she makes a living. No wonder she can hold a man's heart in her hands."
"Boss He's death couldn't be related to the Qian family! The two brothers had fought in the past, so why did they beat Boss He to death that day? Nothing happened at the time, but he was found dead the next morning. There must be something fishy going on here."
Qian didn't know why Tian Si wanted to expose his past, and she panicked and shouted at him: "Tian Si! Are you crazy? Why are you saying this?"
Tian Si looked at her and smiled strangely: "Qian Xing'er is my lover. We have been in love since we were in the brothel. She also gave birth to a son for me and raised him with my parents.
Marrying Boss He was originally a plot we had planned, with the goal of getting Boss He to redeem her. This way we could save a lot of money for redemption, and then find a way to kill Boss He, and we could live together.”
Upon hearing this, not only were the common people shocked, even Xu Zhizhou was quite surprised. He didn't know why Tian Si would spill all the beans about the bad things he had done, and there was no need for him to interrogate him at all.
Looking at the imperial teacher sitting next to him, there was a gleam in his big black eyes, and he kept cracking melon seeds in his hands, as if he understood something.
It turns out that the national teacher likes to listen to people talk about the mistakes they have made. This hobby is really special.
Li Sizu didn't really listen to what Tian Si said. He was busy peeling melon seeds for Xiaoxiao. Seeing how happy she was eating, he peeled more seeds.
"Boss He was too attached to Qian Xing'er. He was basically at home all day long. We secretly met a few times, and we felt that this was not going to work, so we started to poison him."
"Tian Si! What nonsense are you talking about?" Qian was going crazy. She crawled over and covered Tian Si's mouth, hoping he would stop talking.
Tian Si pushed her away and said, "I'm not talking nonsense, that's what you did. I gave you the poison, and I put it in the hole at the foot of your bed.
You gave the poison to Boss He bit by bit, intending to let him die when he caught a cold, but he discovered our secret meeting that day.
You were very angry and pretended to be humble and caring about him. You poured him a bowl of water and gave him medicine, and he died silently.
The next day, you said that He Laoer had beaten him to death, and put all the blame on He Laoer. The prefect's lawyer was a frequent visitor to our brothel, and I spent some money to arrange it, and the matter was settled. "
The truth came to light at this point. The people looked at Qian with extreme contempt. They did not expect that this woman was so vicious that she could bring so much suffering to the He family by herself.
Naituanzi ate melon seeds and looked at Tian Si: "You are miserable. Qian likes Yang Xiucai. No, he likes you."
Tian Si turned around and looked at Qian, glaring at her: "Who is Yang Xiucai? Why do you like him but not me? No wonder you didn't want to go home with me after He Lao Da died. Are you in love with Yang Xiucai?"
Qian hated Tian Si for telling her about the ridiculous things she had done. Now that she was being questioned, she didn't care about anything and just wanted to vent her anger.
"So what? Tian Si! If you hadn't used brute force to get me back then, do you think I would fall for a loser like you? Boss He treats me better than you do.
I killed Boss He, so what? I just don’t want to go back with you. I want to marry a scholar and be his wife.”
Xu Zhizhou asked sternly, "Qian! Did Mr. Yang do anything in this case?"
Qian shook her head and tried to defend him: "He didn't, he was just a scholar, he didn't know anything. He just took some money from me, he didn't know anything else."
"Go and bring Mr. Yang." Xu Zhizhou ordered the bailiff.
The bailiffs rode at full speed to arrest the man, but returned empty-handed.
"Report to the Lord! Yang Xiucai knew that the conspiracy was exposed and ran away. Some people said that he ran towards the direction of Nanyun King's capital."
Qian was relieved. It was better to run away. If she ran away, she would never be caught again. When she found an opportunity, she would also run to the capital of Nanyun and meet Yang Xiucai. It would still be a good life for the husband and wife to follow each other.
Tian Si stared at Qian fiercely and said, "Don't try to do anything bad. You are mine in life and mine in death. Either stay by my side or we die together."
