Chapter 625: Putting the Dowry in Such a Hidden Place

Her body ached so much, she wanted to lie down and sleep.

Song Chuman looked at Yang Qingrui.

Yang Qingrui nodded, pinching his nose and asked, "How much is enough? I heard that your son was involved in a murder case and spent a lot of money recently. Do you have any money left?"

Sheng Lili was stunned. "You...are you the victim's family? Please don't hurt me. My uncle definitely didn't kill your family. This is all a misunderstanding. Please forgive me."

"I was still young, and I wasn't the one who did the bad thing. You're taking revenge on the wrong person."

Song Chuman suddenly hit Sheng Lili's left leg with a stick.

"ah!"

Sheng Lili screamed.

Yang Qingrui continued, "You haven't answered my question yet. If you answer irrelevant questions again, I will hit you again."

Sheng Lili's face turned pale with pain, and she trembled as she said, "Our family still has money. My grandmother has money. The money my grandmother uses has always belonged to the Sheng family. She hasn't touched the money in her hands."

Yang Qingrui: "The money she has? Where does she get the money from?"

Sheng Lili didn't have time to think about why the robber asked this question. "Her dowry is still there, and part of my grandfather's original wife's dowry is also in her hands."

"She told others that all her dowry was gone, and she also kept telling herself that it was all gone. But in fact, she had already moved some of it away. Now, it's in the cellar of a courtyard outside the city."

Song Chuman frowned.

She is so insidious that she actually put the dowry in such a hidden place.

But as long as the dowry is still there, she doesn't have to spend too much effort.

Yang Qingrui asked again: "Where is that yard?"

Sheng Lili: "There's a house at the foot of the mountain in Blackfish Village. Above the house is a Blackfish flag. My grandmother's wet nurse and her family lived there. The wet nurse was old, so my grandmother let her go back to reunite with her family."

Yang Qingrui: "Are you telling the truth?"

Sheng Lili said anxiously, "I am telling the truth. If I tell even a single lie, I will die a miserable death."

Yang Qingrui asked: "Tell the truth about what I'm going to ask you next, otherwise you'll never be able to return to the Sheng family, understand?"

"Okay, I'll tell you." Sheng Lili said fearfully, "As long as you don't hurt me, you can do anything to me."

Yang Qingrui: "Tell me all the bad things you've done since you were a child. Don't leave out a single one, or I'll beat you to death!"

Sheng Lili bravely asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Song Chuman suddenly hit her foot with the stick again.

"Ah!" Sheng Lili cried, "I won't ask anymore. I'll tell you everything."

"When I was a child, a servant was helping me pick up things by the river. I pushed her in from behind and she drowned."

"I once stole my grandmother's jewelry, but then wrongly accused a young maid of stealing it. She was beaten with a hundred sticks and became disabled."

"I... when I punish my servants, I sometimes fail to pay attention to the severity and often beat them to death."

"Before, I saw a maid who was prettier than me, so I destroyed her face and caused her childhood sweetheart to break off the engagement. She couldn't accept it and committed suicide."

"When I was learning archery, I liked to use living people as targets. Last time, I killed someone and made him exterminate his entire family."

…

"I like to beat and scold my servants. I hit them at every turn. I don't feel satisfied until I see them bleed."

Yang Qingrui gritted his teeth. He had never expected that an unmarried girl could be so vicious. "Did you say all that?"
