Chapter 928 Aunt is not a stepmother (3)

"I didn't expect that you, Yiming, trust me so much. I'm so happy." Cao Shichu gave him a gentle smile.

Xun Yiming tried hard to maintain the expression on his face and didn't let himself blurt out some bad words. If this aunt was not destined to be his stepmother, he would not want to please her at all.

After Cao Shuhui's funeral, the Xun family quickly cleaned up all traces of her life and prepared for Xun Xiu's next marriage.

To be honest, if Cao Shuhui had not plotted against the original owner before she died, Cao Shichu would have felt heartbroken for her. Cao Shuhui had let her sister down, but she had never let the Xun family down. She even gave birth to two children for the Xun family. However, after her death, the Xun family quickly erased all traces of her existence. They were so cold-hearted that it was no wonder that when the original owner was slandered more than ten years later, they not only did not investigate the facts, but also chose to destroy her without hesitation.

The wedding day soon arrived. Cao Shichu went to see the betrothal gift sent by the Xun family. It was almost half less than what Cao Shuhui received when she got married. The dowry given by the Cao family was also half less. Cao Liushi told her that the reason was that the marriage was concluded too quickly and they had no time to prepare the dowry. She asked Cao Shichu to understand their difficulties.

Of course Cao Shichu understood them. On the night before the wedding, Cao Shichu disguised herself and put all the valuable and precious things in the dowry and betrothal gifts into her companion space.

The dowries and betrothal gifts had already been counted and sealed. She was not worried at all that someone would find out something was wrong tomorrow. After tomorrow, she would be a "dead person". Even if someone found out something was wrong with the betrothal gifts and dowry later, what would that have to do with her, a "dead person"?

Although this marriage was arranged very hastily, all the necessary steps were followed. Cao Shichu was put on makeup early in the morning and was pulled aside by Cao Liu to be instructed on many things. By the time she was finally able to get into the bridal sedan, her patience was almost exhausted.

In order to show his importance to his step-wife Cao Shichu, Xun Xiu came personally to pick her up.

"My lady, I'm here to take you home." Xun Xiu's voice came from the side. Cao Shichu had a red veil on his head, so his face could not be seen clearly.

However, the original owner used to visit her sister at the Xun family often, so she was naturally familiar with her brother-in-law Xun Xiu. But this time they met in such an awkward identity. When Cao Shichu heard him call out "wife", the disgust in her heart almost made her want to slap away the hand he extended to her.

But she was in public, and it was not the time for her to get angry, so she could only swallow her nausea and give him her hand to hold.

After finally getting into the bridal sedan, she immediately took out her handkerchief and rubbed her hands vigorously, trying to get rid of the touch that Xun Xiu left on her hands.

Just now she couldn't bear it any longer, so she took the opportunity to drug him, a drug that could make him pure and desireless for the rest of his life. For a man, completely eliminating his instinct as a man is the best way to destroy his self-esteem and life.

Cao Shichu has never been a good person. She likes to take revenge. Xun Xiu was so ruthless to the original owner in the previous life, so why should she be soft-hearted towards him?

As for Xun Yiming and Xun Linyuan, Cao Shichu would not let them go. Xun Yiming had been given sterilization drugs by her a long time ago. He could get married and have sex in this life, but he could not have children. In his previous life, he caused the original wife to have a miscarriage and even destroyed her fertility. In this life, Cao Shichu would retaliate and destroy his fertility. Isn't this too much? In fact, she was kind and soft-hearted. After all, he could still have sex, instead of becoming a useless eunuch like his father.

Xun Linyuan? She was just a newborn baby now, so Cao Shichu would not do anything to her for the time being. But when she turned fifteen and met the liar who deceived her with a sanctimonious appearance, Cao Shichu would not mind bringing them together and tying them together for the rest of their lives, never to separate them again.

When the sedan chair reached the most bustling street in the capital and people on the street gathered to watch, Cao Shichu dragged out a female corpse with a similar figure to her from her companion space. This female corpse was found by her at the mass grave a few nights ago.

Then she put all the jewelry on her hands and ears on the female corpse, and then threw a small burning bow at the female corpse. The fire instantly started, and Cao Shichu returned to his companion space in the blink of an eye.

The bridal sedan suddenly caught fire out of nowhere. The fire was so big that it engulfed the entire sedan in the blink of an eye. No one had time to react, let alone put out the fire. Moreover, this was on the street and there was no water to put out the fire.

By the time everyone came to their senses from the shock, the sedan had been burned beyond recognition. Fortunately, some smart people saw it and hurriedly shouted to put out the fire.

There were many people on the street, and they were able to put out the fire using various methods. However, by the time the fire was completely out, the sedan chair and the bride inside were burned to ashes, and only a few remains of the bride and half-melted jewelry were found.

Xun Xiu was almost frightened to death when he saw the bridal sedan suddenly catch fire. He was unable to react at all, let alone ask people to put out the fire. It was not until the people on the street helped put out the fire and he was sympathized with and comforted by others that he recovered from his frozen state.

"Master, what should we do now? The new lady has been burned to death!" The sedan bearer who escaped quickly when the sedan caught fire and was not burned came to Xun Xiudao in a panic.

"How could the bridal sedan suddenly catch fire?" Xun Xiu's face turned pale and he muttered uneasily, not knowing who he was asking.

"Brother Xun, you should send someone to inform the Cao family first. Also, please accept my condolences." The friend who came with Xun Xiu to form a marriage alliance patted his shoulder and said sympathetically.

"Yes, yes, we must inform the Yue family..." Xun Xiu was at a loss. When his friend gave him a suggestion, he naturally did it without hesitation. But when it came to ordering someone to inform the Cao family, he had no suggestions on what to do next.

To be honest, it was very strange that the bride's sedan caught fire in broad daylight and the bride was burned to death. No one had seen such a thing for dozens or hundreds of years. More and more people gathered on the street. The small vendors and street merchants had no mind to do business. They all came to watch this strange thing and talk about it.

Some people said that the bride was so miserable, she was burned to death on her wedding day; some people said that the groom was also miserable, it was said that his previous wife died less than a hundred days ago, and the new bride died before she even got married, so this groom was unlucky with his wife; others said that maybe the first wife who had just died did not want her husband to marry again, so she turned into a ghost and took the poor bride away out of jealousy, but it was said that the first wife was the bride's biological sister, and she personally nominated this bride...
