Zhou asked the maid to help her arrange the red candles and other things, and then asked the maid to go out first.
She reached out and picked up a piece of paper money, muttering the words the Taoist priest had taught her. As soon as the last word fell, she lit the paper money.
The flames instantly engulfed the entire piece of paper money, and Zhou placed the paper money in an iron basin.
Seeing a flash of red in the flame of the burning paper money, Zhou felt relieved.
It seems that the reinforcement was successful.
Just when she relaxed, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart. The next moment, she fell into darkness and her eyes were dull. She suddenly stood up, walked over, picked up the scissors, and stabbed her arm.
Again and again.
Her arm was covered in blood, but she seemed to feel no pain and had a sick smile on her face.
She walked over again, picked up the vase, and smashed it hard on the ground. She bent down to pick up the broken pieces of the vase and cut herself with them.
The maid outside heard the sound and cautiously opened the door, "Husband, Madam...what's wrong?"
The maid gently pushed the door open and saw Zhou madly hitting herself with the broken pieces of the vase, her entire arm covered in blood.
sky!
The maid covered her mouth with her hands, her face full of disbelief. Zhou seemed to have heard her voice, turned her head and looked at her with a smile on her lips. The smile was so eerie that the maid was so scared that she fell to the ground and ran away, rolling and crawling.
"Hurry up, hurry up! The lady is crazy! The lady is crazy!"
The maid's voice was filled with tears, and soon attracted a group of servants and maids.
When they followed over, the whole room was on fire and the door had fallen off. They could see Zhou lying on the ground, still cutting her arms woodenly.
"The fire is coming! The fire is coming!"
"Quick, put out the fire!"
A group of people rushed to the well to fetch water to put out the fire.
The fire was finally put out, but Zhou was no longer alive.
"Madam, Madam is dead!"
The maids and servants were filled with fear, "What, what should we do?!"
How are they going to explain this to the general?!
"No, don't blame me!"
Zhou's personal maid reached out and pulled at her hair, her face filled with fear, "Yes, yes, Madam!"
"The lady asked me to help her get some incense and candles. I saw her kneeling down and lighting the paper money while she was muttering something!"
"Then, I don't know what happened to the lady. She suddenly went crazy and started hurting herself..."
The servant beside him said sternly, "If that's the case, then we will report the truth!"
"If we don't tell the truth about this matter, we will be the ones in trouble!"
"Even though telling the truth would ruin Madam's reputation, who made Madam commit suicide?"
"It's not our fault. We can't let so many of us be buried with her, right?!"
The slave's words resonated with everyone. Who would want to die if they can live?
"I think this is fine. We can't be blamed for this incident!"
"We tried our best to put out the fire, but it was Madam who wanted to die!"
"That's right!"
When Zhou's personal maid heard what they said, she nodded and agreed, "Okay..."
"Then let's put it this way..."
No one wants to die!
Yuehua Palace.
Yuchi Xi put down the jade scissors and said, "It's okay. It's okay."
"Is that all?" Lu Feiyu was surprised. "This is too fast."
"Yeah." Yuchi Xi nodded, "I did some tricks when I was helping you solve it."
"What?"
"Whatever she wants to do to you will reflect back on herself. If you go back and see, you will know what she wants to do to you."
Lu Feiyu knew without even looking that Zhou wanted him dead!
But he didn't expect that Zhou would be so cruel. When he saw Zhou's body, Lu Feiyu couldn't believe what he saw!
Zhou controlled him and actually wanted him to hurt himself like this and then be burned to death!
Too cruel!
What Zhou had done had long been told by the maids and servants, and the news reached the Lu family, who sent people to deal with Zhou's problem.
Because Zhou had done such a thing, she was not qualified to be buried according to the specifications of a wife. She was just thrown into a mass grave with a rolled-up straw mat.
No family will tolerate anyone who practices evil.
Without Zhou, Lu Feiyu's living standard rose sharply, his mood completely returned to its original state, and his martial arts master who had originally given up on him was willing to continue teaching him.
However, he is the only one in the mansion now, and some relatives from other branches have begun to covet the things in the Lu Mansion.
One by one, the elders from the tribe came to borrow money.
Those old men sounded more pitiful than each other, and Lu Feiyu had no choice but to lend some money.
But soon, the money in the mansion was not enough to borrow, and they were taking advantage of their seniority and were unwilling to pay back the money.
With the word "filial piety" weighing on him, Lu Feiyu couldn't urge him anymore.
When they met again, Yuchi Xi looked at Lu Feiyu's impoverished appearance with a face full of shock, "I thought that now that your stepmother is gone, you'll be better off."
"You're...having it even worse?"
Lu Feiyu smiled bitterly, "Don't mention it, those relatives came to me to borrow money."
"None of it."
Yuchi Xi:?
"Why do you want to borrow it?"
Yuchi Xi was completely confused. Someone like her would never lend money to others, not even a single penny!
"They are all relatives, and they all asked the elderly in the family to ask for the loan. It was very difficult to talk to them. I felt embarrassed..."
