Chapter 1010: Uncle and Sister-in-law’s Murder of the Original Wife (2)

Zou Hongyi, who married a wife he didn't like, and Murong Liu, who married a husband she didn't like, soon felt sympathy for each other, and their old love was rekindled, and they began an uncontrollable affair.

After the original owner married Zou Hongyi, she was not liked by her husband, but she didn't know what she had done wrong. She carefully tried various ways to please him, but Zou Hongyi still hated her. She could only pay attention to her husband secretly, hoping to know why he disliked her. As a result, she discovered the ambiguous relationship between Zou Hongyi and Murong Liu.

The original owner thought she had misunderstood. After all, no one with a little bit of morals would do such an immoral thing. However, the more she observed, the more she discovered. Gradually, she could no longer deceive herself. So that day, after discovering that Zou Hongyi and Murong Liu had left home at the same time, she followed Zou Hongyi, and as expected, she discovered the two of them having an affair.

But she never expected that after she discovered the affair, the two men were not out of guilt, but wanted to kill her and silence her.

In the original world's plot, after Zou Hongyi killed the original owner, he, with the help of Murong Liu, threw the original owner's body into a steep and dangerous cliff nearby, and erased all traces of her having been to the small inn at the foot of the Huguo Temple.

Zou Hongyi also forged a letter, in which he wrote in the original owner's voice that she had a lover before marriage, but her family made her marry into the Zou family against her wishes. She could not bear the pain of not being able to be with her lover, so she eloped with her lover, hoping that her family could understand her and so on. In short, he portrayed the original owner as a shameless, fickle woman who eloped with someone, and Zou Hongyi as the poor innocent man who was cuckolded by his wife.

The original owner had not been heard from since that day, and with this letter as evidence, everyone believed that she had eloped with someone. The original owner's family felt guilty towards Zou Hongyi, so they spared no effort to promote and take care of him.

However, after Zou Hongyi rose to a high position and gained immense power, the first people he targeted were the original owner's family, because he was afraid that the fact that he had killed the original owner would be exposed sooner or later, so he decided to strike first and destroy the original owner's family, so that he would really have no worries.

As the sister-in-law of Zou Hongyi, Murong Liu's status made it impossible for her to be with Zou Hongyi openly. If nothing unexpected happened, they would have to be like rats in a gutter, secretly having an affair.

However, whether it was an accident or not, Zou Hongyi’s elder brother, who was already frail, also “died of illness” a year after the original owner’s death.

Murong Liu was chaste and strong, and volunteered to carry the coffin back to her hometown to guard her husband's grave. However, she soon died of "excessive grief" and followed her husband.

However, in reality, she just escaped and then changed her identity, becoming the daughter of a local official arranged by Zou Hongyi. After accompanying her father to Beijing to report on her work, she fell in love with Zou Hongyi at first sight.

This time, with the promotion of the original owner's family and several years of hard work, Zou Hongyi has become a trusted minister favored by the emperor. He no longer needs to listen to his family's arrangements to marry a wife, so he finally got his wish and married the transformed Murong Liu.

It is such a touching thing that lovers finally get married - but for the original owner who was killed by this pair of lovers, it is more than just disgusting to describe it.

Your love is built on the corpses of others, and you throw dirty water on them out of thin air, making them spit and despise you even after they die. Why? Is it because you are shameless and vicious enough?

Now, Shi Chu has become the cruel and ruthless person. It is their turn to go to hell and bear countless curses after their death. Shi Chu did not slander them. This is a fact that they have already done. Shi Chu only helped them tell the truth to the world.

Zou Hongyi killed the original owner and left a letter to nail her to the pillar of shame; now Shi Chu also killed them both and left a suicide note to nail them to the pillar of shame, giving them a taste of their own medicine, isn't that too much? Moreover, Zou Hongyi slandered the original owner for eloping with someone, while Shi Chu didn't slander them now, isn't that kind enough?

Yue Shichu, who had arranged the scene perfectly, quietly returned to the Zou family. Fortunately, no one knew when the original owner left the Zou family to follow Zou Hongyi. She lied that she was going to take a nap and sent away all the servants around her, then she quietly climbed over the wall from the backyard and left. Now Shichu only needs to go back along the same route. It is a perfect alibi. When the news of Zou Hongyi and Murong Liu's "love suicide" in the small inn gets out, even if the government finds out that they were murdered, they will not suspect her.

When he returned to the original master bedroom, he calmly changed into his going-out clothes, removed all traces of going out, and then lay down on the bed and really began to take a nap.

After waking up from a nap, the Zou family was still quiet. It seemed that Zou Hongyi and Murong Liu's "suicide for love" had not been discovered yet. After Yue Shichu washed up, she asked someone to prepare food. After all, there would be a good show soon. As a poor person betrayed by her husband, it was normal for her to be so heartbroken that she had no appetite. So, didn't she have to fill her stomach first? Zou Hongyi didn't deserve to let her go hungry.

After Yue Shichu finally had a delicious meal, half an hour passed before an official finally came rushing to inform the Zou family that Zou Hongyi and Murong Liu had hanged themselves in a small inn at the foot of the Huguo Temple.

Upon hearing the news, Zou Hongyi's father, the Earl of Yong'an, turned pale and staggered back a step, hardly daring to believe his ears. He almost squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "What are you talking about? Who committed suicide for love?"

The officer looked at Earl Yong'an, who could barely stand, with sympathy. After all, no matter whose family it was, if a brother-in-law and sister-in-law not only had an affair but also committed suicide for love, and the whole world knew about it, who could tolerate it?

But regardless of whether Earl Yong'an could accept it or not, the officer had to clearly inform the family, so he said again: "It was your second son and eldest daughter who committed suicide together in the small inn at the foot of the Huguo Temple."

"This is impossible! You are slandering my son!" Lady Zou's mother, who had hurried over, retorted with a ferocious face when she heard the officer's words. Her stern and fierce eyes scared the officer.

The officer immediately became unhappy and said with a gloomy face: "I have not slandered you, the young master. The bodies of your second son and your eldest daughter have been recognized by many people. In addition, they left a suicide note in the room where they committed suicide, which clearly stated their immoral behavior..."
