Chapter 001: Three Years of Love

In autumn, at night, I wash the kite house.

The lanterns on the eaves are like a cold moon, illuminating the wedding ceremonies in front of the hall.

On the mottled and cracked walls, the shadows of the albizzia trees swaying in the wind are projected, like gluttons with bared fangs and claws, devouring everything that is blinded by greed.

Next to the tree stands a tall chastity arch, on which are engraved seven large characters: "The chaste and heroic woman Ji Shen".

On a low stone platform under the chastity arch, two white lumps of flesh were entangled like a dough twist, and the air was filled with an indescribable fishy smell.

"Brother Yunchuan, today is my cousin's death anniversary. It's not a good idea for us to do this under her chastity arch, right?"

Cui Mingzhu, with her shoulders half-naked, nestled in Ji Yunchuan's arms, her voice soft and tender.

"What's wrong with that?" Ji Yunchuan hugged Cui Mingzhu tightly, sneering complacently: "Chen Ningyuan, this idiot, was played around by us before she died. Not only was she willing to be a widow for me, but she also gave her dowry to support the Ji family. Now she has been dead for three years, and her body has been eaten clean by wild dogs. How can I be afraid of her?"

"I am worried too. I heard from the servants in the mansion that they often heard my cousin crying at night. Who knows if she... is really here?"

Ji Yunchuan waved his hand, “Don’t be afraid, Zhu’er. If she were really here, Brother Yunchuan would work harder to let her see how loving we are, hahahaha…”

Ji Yunchuan laughed wildly, held Cui Mingzhu's hand, put it to his mouth and licked it, with an intoxicated expression: "Zhu'er, you smell so good..."

"Oh, Brother Yunchuan, you are so annoying..."

The two of them laughed and played shamelessly under the chastity arch.

Little did they know that Shen Ningyuan's soul was really floating above the archway, staring at them coldly with her eyes downcast.

Ever since she committed suicide for her late husband three years ago and the emperor granted her a chastity arch, her soul has been imprisoned here.

It was not until Ji Yunchuan faked his death and resurrected that he knelt under the chastity arch and cried until he fainted, and staged a drama of deep love between husband and wife, and deceived his father's trust and obtained military power.

In a blink of an eye, she used her dowry to marry Cui Mingzhu, who had lost both her parents when she was young and had been fostered in the Shen family!

At this time, Shen Ningyuan suddenly realized:

It turns out that Cui Mingzhu is the white moonlight in Ji Yunchuan's heart.

The reason why he married her was to take advantage of his father's military power and his mother's wealth that was as rich as a country!

And she did not die for love.

It was at Ji Yunchuan's fake funeral that he was poisoned to death by his mother-in-law and sister-in-law with a glass of poisoned wine!

They then announced to the public that she had committed suicide for Ji Yunchuan, and that the family had produced a chaste and heroic woman, thus earning a good reputation for the Ji family.

Thanks to her image as a loving mother who treats her daughter-in-law well, the mother-in-law has gained a place in the circle of noble ladies in the capital.

The sister-in-law's behavior of "respecting sister-in-law like mother" attracted many suitors to come to her door.

She also married into a good family and had a worry-free and smooth marriage.

As for the other members of the Ji family, their careers were even smoother.

Originally a family of the lowest rank, they successfully became a family of scholars and celebrities.

All of this was obtained by stepping on Shen Ningyuan's corpse!

For the past three years, Shen Ningyuan has been filled with hatred!

Countless times, she roared to the sky, wanting to turn into a ghost and tear these people into pieces.

But, she is just an invisible soul.

I can only watch helplessly, but I can do nothing.

After the two of them had shameless sex under the archway, Cui Mingzhu couldn't wait to put on her clothes, so she hooked her arm around Ji Yunchuan's neck and asked, "Brother Yunchuan, didn't you say you would prepare a big gift for my cousin on her death anniversary?"

"It's been prepared for a long time." Ji Yunchuan grinned, "Move in."

Just as he finished speaking, guards came in carrying five jars half a person's height and placed them neatly under the archway.

Seeing these five jars, Shen Ningyuan's pupils shrank and her heart ached violently.

Could these five jars be...

"No, I won't!"

Shen Ningyuan shook her head in panic.

I want to get that terrible thought out of my mind.

Can.

Things don't always go as planned.

Ji Yunchuan bent down to open the lid and greeted with a smile: "Father-in-law, are you living comfortably in the jar that I prepared for you?"

The person in the jar opened his mouth with difficulty and a mouthful of bloody saliva sprayed onto Ji Yunchuan's face.

"Ji Yunchuan, the Shen family treated you well, but you turned evil into evil and harmed the entire Shen family. You beast, you will not die well!"

boom--

Hear this sound.

Shen Ningyuan's day.

Collapsed.

Her father is a tall and strong man of eight feet tall.

He was a great general who fought bravely on the battlefield and defended his country and was loved by the people.

He was actually turned into a human pig?

Hot tears welled up in her eyes, and Shen Ningyuan choked and screamed: "Dad!!!"

With blood sprayed all over his face, Ji Yunchuan became angry and kicked the jar containing General Shen away.

The jar hit the ground heavily and rolled several times before it came to a stop.

"Old man, you cursed me to die a miserable death, I will make you live a life worse than death first!"

After Ji Yunchuan vented his anger, his face looked ferocious.

At this moment, Shen Ningyuan's heart seemed to be torn apart.

"Ji Yunchuan, you beast! How dare you, how dare you, he is my father!"

Shen Ningyuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he tried desperately to break free from the restraints, rushing down to tear Ji Yunchuan into pieces.

But no matter how angry, screamed, or struggled she was.

All in vain.

No one could hear her at all.

Ji Yunchuan wiped the blood off his face, looked at the archway with a grin, as if he was looking at Shen Ningyuan.

"Chen Ningyuan, do you want to know who is in the remaining four jars?"

Ji Yunchuan introduced them one by one: "This is your mother who loves you the most. I remember that she loved to buy some valuable gadgets and show off in front of my mother, which made my mother very angry. However, those valuable things are now registered and stored in the warehouse, gathering dust in the Ji family's warehouse!"

After hearing this, Shen Ningyuan's heart ached.

Ji Yunchuan knew clearly that most of the little gadgets collected by his mother were given to him.

As for showing off in front of his mother, that was even more impossible.

Ji Yunchuan's mother was in poor health and had been bedridden for many years, so she specially asked the caravan to find precious herbs to nourish her mother-in-law.

My mother only cares about him, so how could she think of showing off?

"And this one, your elder brother who is highly skilled in martial arts... He is very good at swordsmanship, but during the trial, he humiliated me several times and knocked me to the ground!"

Ji Yunchuan gritted his teeth, his face full of jealousy.

Shen Ningyuan was heartbroken.

My eldest brother has a kind personality and his sincerity was wasted!

At that time, the eldest brother was busy with military affairs, and in order to improve Ji Yunchuan's martial arts, he took time out to practice with him.

But in his eyes, his elder brother spent so much time and energy just to humiliate him!

"This is your second brother who is very talented in writing. Back then, his poem "Today's Ode" was passed down through the world. What a style it was! He even said, 'I will not eat anything other than autumn flowers, and I will not drink anything other than morning dew'... But now, I have made him into a human pig, and put him in this small jar, mixed with feces and urine!"

Shen Ningyuan narrowed her eyes at Ji Yunchuan and kicked him hard, causing the jar containing her second brother to roll around in the yard.

As luck would have it, it stopped right at the base of her chastity archway.

Shen Ningyuan's heart ached bitterly.

Second brother...

The second brother who loves her the most.

Can't let her go even if you die?

She knew why Ji Yunchuan hated his second brother.

At that time, the second brother was wholeheartedly concerned about Ji Yunchuan and repeatedly advised him to read military books.

After all, even children understand that only by being well versed in the art of warfare can one win every battle.

But in Ji Yunchuan's eyes, these earnest words of advice were just his second brother mocking his poor writing skills.

And I have been jealous for so many years.

At this time, Ji Yunchuan walked to the last jar.

Smiled playfully.

“Chen Ningyuan, are you curious about who is in the last jar?”

Shen Ningyuan really couldn't guess the last jar which was obviously smaller.

After all, there are only a few people left in the Shen family.

"You definitely can't guess it, because this is your little nephew who just turned three years old, and you haven't even met him yet! After all, when he was born, your body had already been eaten clean by wild dogs, hahahaha..."

What?

Shen Ningyuan's body shook.

That's... her nephew?

She remembered.

When she died three years ago, my eldest sister-in-law was already pregnant.

She was eagerly looking forward to the birth of her nephew and made a pair of golden locks for him to bless him with a smooth and peaceful life.

But before she could be sent out, she was plotted against and killed by the Ji family.

Unexpectedly, her little nephew, whom she had been looking forward to so much, was also turned into a human pig!

Ji Yunchuan, how hateful!

Even a three-year-old child was not spared!

Shen Ningyuan stared at Ji Yunchuan with bloodshot eyes, wishing she could cut off a piece of his flesh.

"Chen Ningyuan, we've been husband and wife for a long time. I'm doing my best to reunite your family. I've given so much dowry to the Ji family for nothing. Haha!" Ji Yunchuan laughed arrogantly.

Cui Mingzhu leaned into Ji Yunchuan's arms and smiled sweetly, "Brother Yunchuan was so kind to let my cousin reunite with her family. If she knew about this, she would definitely be grateful to you!"

Ji Yunchuan was very proud, "Of course she must be grateful to me for letting her die so easily. After she dies and becomes a ghost, she can even have a chastity arch granted by the emperor!"

Ji Yunchuan laughed wildly and hugged Cui Mingzhu in his arms, and the two turned around and left triumphantly!

"ah!!!"

Watching the two people leaving in a carefree manner, Shen Ningyuan could no longer suppress her hatred. The hatred in her heart reached the sky and she roared towards the sky.

"Oh my God, I made a mistake. I can die, but why should my family pay the price for my mistake?"

"Ji Yunchuan! Cui Mingzhu! You really deserve to die. Do you think my Shen family deserves to be betrayed by you for all their sincerity?"

"If there is an afterlife, I will definitely push you into the bloody hell and make sure you never get reincarnated!"

Accompanied by Shen Ningyuan's roar.

A flash of lightning tore through the dark night sky and landed heavily on top of the chastity arch.

With a loud "boom"!

In an instant, this chastity arch that had stood for three years collapsed...
