At first, Yuan could still wail a few times, but soon, she couldn't even wail anymore. She lay in a pool of blood, her body twitching occasionally.
Only then did Qi stop the violence and reached out to check Yuan's breath. Seeing that Yuan's breath was weak and she would not live long, she fetched a basin of clean water and helped clean the blood off Yuan's face.
After helping Yuan clean up, Qi took out something from her arms.
It was a small rectangular box, only about the size of a palm. No one knew what material it was made of. It was dark and translucent, emitting a gloomy atmosphere. In addition, its shape was rectangular. When it was taken out, it inexplicably reminded people of a coffin.
As soon as Qi opened the small box, small insects immediately crawled out of the box.
Those little bugs are very small, about the same size as ants, and their shape is a bit like ants, but their heads are not big, just very small. If you don’t look closely, it seems as if they don’t have heads.
However, the stomachs of those little bugs were very big and bulging, and their bodies were bright red, so red that it looked as if they had been soaked in a blood tank.
After these strange little red bugs crawled out, they crawled straight onto Yuanshi's face and body, jumping around among the hideous wounds, using their tentacles to close the turned flesh and blood, and constantly spitting out red blood.
They were like skillful tailors. In a short while, they had sutured all the wounds on Yuanshi's face and body, without leaving even a single scar.
Yuan's face returned to normal, her skin as smooth and delicate as ever. Only by lying down and staring at her face carefully could one see anything unusual.
However, these slight abnormalities disappeared completely after Qi helped Yuan put on makeup.
That face now looks even brighter and more charming than before.
Qi's jealousy was rekindled by what she saw, and she wanted to destroy the face immediately.
However, Yuanshi had been tortured by her to the point of being on the verge of death, hanging on to her last breath, and she certainly could not withstand the torture a second time.
Qi could only suppress the jealousy in her heart and stabbed the dagger in her hand into Yuan's heart.
While Yuan was still breathing, Qi sneered and said, "Little slut, listen to me, what I, Meng Wanqing, despise the most is women like you who rely on selling their looks."
"People like you, lowly creatures, shouldn't exist in this world. I'm killing you today to rid the people of this evil."
After she finished speaking, she grasped the handle of the dagger and twisted it hard, causing a large amount of blood foam to spurt out of Yuan's mouth instantly.
Is she... is she going to die now?
But what about her daughter?
Her daughter was still so young, and she lost her mother...
Yuan was really worried about her daughter, so she stared at Qi with her eyes wide open. Qi took a lot of effort to close her eyes.
Perhaps Yuan's eyes were too terrifying, and Qi was worried that Yuan would become a ghost and haunt her after her death, so she cast a spell to imprison Yuan's soul in the house where she died.
In this way, no matter whether Yuanshi becomes a fierce ghost or a lonely ghost, he will never be able to leave this small place again.
After doing all this, Qi took Yuan's body back to the house in the city.
She placed the suicide note that the fifth elder had forged long ago next to Yuan's body, making it look like Yuan had committed suicide.
Whether it was the Qi family or the five elders, they all felt that Meng Wanqing had taken such a big blame and would definitely have a big fight with Shen Mingyu.
Even if Meng Wanqing did not make trouble with Shen Mingyu, after reading the suicide note left by Yuan Shi, Shen Mingyu would suspect that Yuan Shi was forced to death by Meng Wanqing, and the couple would still become estranged.
However, reality disappointed them again.
In the dimly lit tomb, Qi recalled the incident ten years ago and was so angry that she almost bit her teeth into pieces.
She said to Chen Xinlian, "Your father and I have put in so much effort and planned everything perfectly, but it was all ruined by that woman Meng Wanqing. If that bitch Meng Wanqing hadn't acted according to common sense, your father would have been the head of the family by now. I would have become the head of the family's wife, and you would have become a true daughter of an aristocratic family."
Although she was a concubine like Yuanshi, the most crucial point was that she was different from Yuanshi: Yuanshi was a prostitute, and her status was so low that she was even lower than that of a servant.
A woman like Yuanshi would never be able to marry into a prominent family.
But she was different. She came from a small aristocratic family. Although her family fell into decline in the middle of life, her identity was clean.
In this case, even if she is a concubine, as long as the Fifth Elder is willing, he can marry her into the family.
She and the Fifth Elder had conspired to do such a big thing, so she was not afraid that the Fifth Elder would not marry her.
...I just regret that Meng Wanqing was so ungrateful and sabotaged and refused to cooperate, which led to the failure of their conspiracy and all their hard work was in vain.
Over the years, every time Qi thought of this matter, she would pick Meng Wanqing out and scold her.
She said angrily, "That bitch Meng Wanqing, in order to maintain her reputation as a virtuous woman, even when Yuan Shi threw dirty water on her, she didn't get angry at all. She had Yuan Shi buried properly, brought Yuan Shi's illegitimate daughter back to the Shen family to educate her personally, and even set up a memorial tablet for Yuan Shi... How could there be such a hypocritical woman in this world!"
Chen Xinlian listened to the whole thing as if she was listening to a story. She did not think that there was anything wrong with what Qi and the Fifth Elder did, nor did she think that this matter was cruel.
