Chapter 983 Wife-Killing

Lin Yuesha and Luo Wang exchanged a glance, their minds in perfect harmony.

It turned out that Prince Luo also intended to teach the Tian family a lesson, which is why he sat down to argue. Lin Yuesha thought that Prince Luo didn't care about worldly affairs and wouldn't bother with such a scoundrel.

"Aunt Tian, ​​it's getting late, let's not stay any longer."

Lin Yuesha glanced at the sky and said, "How about this, we call Tian Dali back to hand over the mission and have him put his fingerprint on the document. That way, we'll consider our mission complete."

The two refused, and Old Lady Tian became anxious.

Tian Dali is on the mountain, and it will take the eldest brother a while to find someone. In addition, the eldest brother's wife is sending a message to Pearl, so she has to delay things.

Old Man Tian rolled his eyes. If it weren't for the presence of distinguished guests, he would have definitely kicked her. The old woman was clueless. These distinguished guests were well-traveled and had seen all kinds of beautiful women. No matter how pretty a country girl was, she was still a bumpkin and could not be compared to a lady from a respectable family.

Especially Liu Zhenzhu, whose character is questionable. From the beginning, when she learned that the third brother was receiving a monthly military salary, she had been eyeing him. If the third brother hadn't become lame, Liu Zhenzhu would probably have married him long ago.

She's lazy and greedy, and a troublemaker; whoever she marries will be unlucky.

“My sir, the third brother is too diligent. He went to work in town. If we send someone to deliver the message, it will probably take some time to travel back and forth.”

Grandma Tian lied without batting an eye, completely unaware that her grandson had utterly betrayed the Tian family.

"Why don't you try the second son's wife's cooking? There's someone in the village slaughtering a pig, I'll go buy some meat."

Old Lady Tian gave her grandson money to cut meat, and boasted that her second daughter-in-law had been handling weddings and funerals in the surrounding villages and was very skilled.

Tian Dalei, the second son of the Tian family, was not as favored as his eldest brother, but he had a sweet tongue and was particularly good at flattering people. His wife was very shy and hid in the kitchen, working non-stop.

"In that case, we'll take our leave of you."

Luo Wang nodded to Lin Yuesha, indicating that the Tian family's matter was going to cause quite a stir.

The King of Luo was looking for people based on the list given by Qi Heng. Whether or not Tian Dali would be given an important position depended on Tian Dali's character and conduct.

With such a bloodsucking family, Tian Dali has already done enough. If Old Lady Tian could coax Tian Dali back with just a few words, Luo Wang would not approve of such a blindly filial and do-gooder.

After waiting for half an hour without seeing Tian Dali, a woman's voice came from the courtyard.

"Aunt, are you home? My mother asked me to bring over two salted mackerel."

The woman's voice was sweet and delicate, and somewhat affected.

Old Man Tian looked displeased, but Old Woman Tian ignored her completely, stood up, lifted the cotton curtain, and greeted them at the door, "Pearl, what brings you here?"

Grandma Tian kept winking at Liu Zhenzhu, implying that it was all a coincidence, but Liu Zhenzhu was uncooperative and contradicted her, saying, "Didn't you ask my eldest cousin's wife to deliver the letter to me?"

Liu Zhenzhu couldn't wait any longer to find the distinguished guest.

Grandma Tian forced a smile and said awkwardly, "You silly girl, you always know how to joke!"

Fortunately, they were talking in the courtyard, so the distinguished guests inside the house couldn't hear them.

As the two entered, Liu Zhenzhu's eyes widened when she saw Prince Luo.

The Prince of Luo remained calm, but he was thinking of Xu Da. He believed that if Xu Da were in charge of this situation, he could definitely scare Liu Zhenzhu to tears.

Despite the other party's arrogant gaze, given Luo Wang's good manners, he couldn't bring himself to rebuke her directly. Instead, he nodded slightly to Liu Zhenzhu.

It was just a polite gesture, but Liu Zhenzhu misunderstood it. Good heavens, she had never seen such an outstanding person before.

Appearance is one aspect, but the air of nobility is something that must be born into a wealthy family.

Liu Zhenzhu's heart fluttered, and she blushed as she said, "So my aunt has distinguished guests. I've come at the wrong time."

Old Man Tian wanted to say, "If that's the case, get out of here," but Old Woman Tian preemptively said, "We're having a feast at home today, Pearl, stay and help out."

Grandma Tian emphasized that Liu Zhenzhu's purpose in coming was not to freeload a meal.

Old Man Tian was helpless. Even if he chased her away, Liu Zhenzhu would pretend not to hear him and insist on staying.

Lin Yuesha glanced at Luo Wang with a teasing look, waiting for Liu Zhenzhu to make the first move.

Sure enough, after chatting for less than fifteen minutes, Old Lady Tian asked, "If I may be so bold as to ask, why aren't you married?"

The real reasons are: finding women troublesome, being too lazy to get married, and not wanting to be tied down.

Luo Wang couldn't tell the truth, so he pushed the problem onto Lin Yuesha, hoping she would answer it for him, but was met with a cold rejection.

"They're not married, but..."

The King of Luo was thinking and came up with a reasonable explanation.

Liu Zhenzhu kept giving him flirtatious glances, which affected Lin Yuesha, who was sitting next to Prince Luo. She had no choice but to step forward and say, "My uncle was engaged to a woman, but she was unlucky and drowned in the lake before she even entered the family."

"Then you have never married, which shows how deeply you love that woman."

Liu Zhenzhu stammered, "I really envy that woman."

Lin Yuesha was shocked. Liu Zhenzhu actually envied a dead person. This logic didn't make sense.

"The nobleman has remained unmarried because of that woman; such a devoted man is rare."

Liu Zhenzhu explained herself, indirectly revealing her meaning.

"It's not that he's never been married. Besides that woman, my uncle got engaged several times."

Lin Yuesha sighed and said with a bitter smile, "Who would have thought that the subsequent women would either be ambushed and killed by bandits or encounter landslides? One of them was even more unlucky. She never left her house, yet she was chased by a wild cat that ran in looking for food. She fell and hit her head, and died from her injuries."

It wasn't just one person who died; it was everyone who was engaged who died.

“They all say my uncle is a jinx to his wives, but I don’t believe in such superstitions. It must be that they are unlucky and not good enough for my uncle.”

Lin Yuesha kept talking, clenching her fist and saying, "Aunt Tian, ​​our family doesn't care about social status. If there's someone as pretty as Pearl, it would be good to help my uncle find a wife."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhenzhu almost rushed out the door.

She said, "Such a handsome man, even if he lives off a woman and becomes a live-in son-in-law, someone would still want him. The reason he's not married yet is because he's cursed to bring misfortune to his wife."

All those he was betrothed to died unexpectedly, and their deaths were gruesome!

Yes, she coveted wealth and status, but wealth and status came with a prerequisite: survival.

"Aunt, I'll go help my second cousin-in-law with some work."

Liu Zhenzhu forced a smile and immediately made an excuse to slip away.

"Pearl Girl is beautiful and hardworking."

Lin Yuesha watched Liu Zhenzhu's retreating figure with satisfaction.

Liu Zhenzhu, who hadn't even left the house yet, stumbled, tripped over something, and fell face-first into the dirt. She strained her back and couldn't get up for a while.

After waiting for a while, Liu Zhenzhu was helped to the kitchen by Tian Dalei's wife. She was panting heavily and felt lingering fear.

She couldn't eat this meal and had to go home immediately.

It's so unlucky for a plague god to enter the house. She was under the same roof as the so-called distinguished guest, and with only a tiny bit of thought in her mind, she almost lost her life.

If they really get engaged, there's no guarantee they won't end up like those other women.
