After Mr. Zhou asked this question, he didn't wait for Xu Jinhuan to answer and continued talking on his own.

"Yes, it's the little-known Fifth Prince Lei Tingjun. When I heard about him, I thought he was an imposter. I didn't expect him to be so well hidden."

Xu Jinhuan frowned when he heard this. Could it be that the male protagonist Lei Tingjun was the one who did this to harm others and benefit himself?

At that time, the novel only wrote about the emotional entanglement between the male and female protagonists, and did not mention anything else at all.

But this does make sense. If the hero was really so great and righteous, how could he have become the emperor in the end without secretly developing financial power?

However, this method is indeed a bit dirty.

Xu Jinhuan lowered her eyes, a flash of murderous intent in her eyes. It seemed that she now had another reason to attack the male protagonist.

While Xu Jinhuan was deep in thought, Mr. Zhou, the richest man, had already written a confession and signed it.

He said hesitantly, "Lord God of the Land, how much time do I have?"

Xu Jinhuan did not answer him immediately, but moved his ears and heard someone outside the door calling, "Third concubine."

She smiled and said, "Unfortunately, your life span has come to an end."

Before Mr. Zhou could ask any more questions, he saw his childhood sweetheart, the third aunt, walk in.

"Dongmei, I'm already satisfied that I can see you one last time before I die." Mr. Zhou, the richest man, said after a sigh.

But the Third Aunt snorted coldly and said, "Zhou Dabing, you also know that you are going to die. Today I want you to be buried with my child!"

Then she shouted at the door, "Bring them all in."

After a while, guards came in with the three Wu family members who were tied up tightly.

"Uncle? What happened to them?" Mr. Zhou looked at Wu Dahai in confusion, then at the third aunt.

He really couldn't imagine that someone who was always as gentle as water would do such a bold thing.

The Third Aunt did not answer him, but said to the guards: "Now that the matter is done, you can take the silver and leave."

After the guards left, the third aunt picked up the long knife left by a guard outside the door and slammed the door shut.

The moment she turned around, her eyes were already red, "Kill you!"

The third aunt’s first target was not the three members of the Wu family who were tied up, but the richest man Zhou who was still somewhat unresponsive.

Because of his weak body, Mr. Zhou could only dodge with difficulty. Although he avoided the vital parts, he was already injured.

"Dongmei, why?" Mr. Zhou asked in confusion, covering his wound.

The Third Aunt sneered, "Zhou Dabing, you still have the nerve to ask why? If you hadn't abandoned me, how could my child have died, and how could I have become someone's concubine?

Now, your retribution has come!"

After the Third Aunt finished speaking, she swung her sword again and chopped at the shoulder of Mr. Zhou, the richest man.

Soon, Mr. Zhou fell to the ground covered in blood. He stretched out his trembling hand as if he wanted to hold the hand of the third aunt, but the third aunt dodged him with disgust.

"Zhou Dabing, don't think I will forgive you just like that. I forgot to tell you that your distinguished wife was secretly poisoned to death by me.

It was I who ordered the murder of your smart and studious eldest son, and it was I who asked someone to seduce your well-behaved and sensible youngest daughter to elope.

I want to watch you grow old without any children by your side!"

Mr. Zhou, the richest man, never expected that the few regrets in his brilliant life were all caused by Wu Dongmei. He widened his eyes and his body trembled constantly, as if he wanted to get up again.

Unexpectedly, the third aunt stabbed him hard in the heart, and blood instantly splashed on her face.

Although she was smiling, her eyes were very sad.

"Zhou Dabing, you said that if you betrayed me, your wife and children would be torn apart, your family would be destroyed, and you would die a miserable death. Now I have helped you fulfill your wish."

After saying that, she pulled out the long knife with force and watched Zhou Dabing slowly die.

At this time, the three members of the Wu family had huddled in the corner of the room, looking at the Third Aunt who had just killed someone with an expression of disbelief.

"Dongmei, I didn't do this. Every wrong has its perpetrator, go find your mother and your elder brother!" Mrs. Wu cried bitterly.

On the other side, Wu Dahai was so scared by his sister's fierce behavior that he peed his pants. After hearing what his wife said, he subconsciously retorted.

"Old woman, what are you talking about? Wasn't it you who coveted the Zhou family's wealth and persuaded mother to come up with this method?

And about that little girl, wasn't it because you thought she was a waste of money and said that leaving her at home was a waste of food that I took action? How come in the end, it's all my fault?"

"Wu Dahai, you still have the nerve to criticize me. If your family wasn't so poor at the time, would I have been such a bad person?"

Without waiting for Third Aunt to reply, Mrs. Wu started quarreling with Wu Dahai. The two of them were swearing at each other, not like a loving couple at all, but rather like common enemies.

And their eldest son, the fake Zhou Ying, didn't care about his own parents at all. He knelt on the ground and cried to his third aunt.

"Mom, I'm Zhou Ying. Although you're not my biological mother, after all these years of getting along, we have some affection for each other.

Please forgive me, I will treat you like my own mother and take care of you until the end of your life!"

After saying this, the fake Zhou Ying kowtowed several times to show his respect for the Third Aunt.

The Third Aunt looked at the three members of the Wu family who were already in a mess and sneered, "You regret it now? It's too late. When you killed my child, you should have been prepared to be killed by me!"

As soon as the Third Aunt finished speaking, she picked up a long knife and rushed forward. The first person she chopped was her own brother, the damn Wu Dahai!

Unexpectedly, Wu Dahai, in panic, pushed Wu Dasao next to him with his shoulder. Wu Dasao was unable to dodge and after staggering a few steps, she was bumped into the tip of the long knife.

With a "puff", she was pierced through by the long knife, and the blood stained her new brocade dress red.

"Wu...Da...Hai..."

These three words became her last words in this world.

Wu Dahai and the fake Zhou Ying looked at each other and jumped away from the blood-stained corner in panic. They stood on the left and the right, as if they wanted to make circles with the Third Aunt.

"You think I can do nothing to you? How naive."

The third aunt looked at the two people who were tied up tightly, sneered, and rushed towards Wu Dahai without any hesitation.

This time, Wu Dahai had no other shield and could only be pierced by the long knife with hatred, becoming the third victim of the Third Aunt's knife.

On the other side, the fake Zhou Ying had already jumped to the vicinity of the door, only an arm's length away from it.

Just when he had hope in his eyes, the devilish voice of the Third Aunt came to his ears.

"Where do you want to go?"
