Chen poured all the poison into the well and, looking flustered, staggered back to the back room.
Her heart was pounding, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
She kept patting her chest, trying to convince herself.
All of this was caused by Su Xuerong; it has nothing to do with her! Nothing to do with her!
It's all Su Xuerong's fault!
That's right!
If she hadn't incited her whole family to come to Hangzhou, how could things have turned out this way?
Ms. Chen kept reassuring herself as she lay down on the bed.
When I woke up, it was already broad daylight.
Suddenly remembering something, Chen hurriedly got up, opened the door, and ran out.
Oh no, she should have taken Su Jian back to the neighbor's yard last night. What if he got up too early and accidentally drank the poisonous well water?
Ms. Chen was so nervous last night that she completely forgot about this matter.
She hurriedly ran towards the front yard.
As soon as I ran to the front hall, I heard the sounds of a family talking and eating coming from inside the house.
Su Jian sat next to Zhou Shi, obediently scooping up steaming gourd soup from the bowl with a spoon, about to put it in his mouth.
During Zhang's funeral these past few days, the whole family ate vegetarian food.
After the funeral was finally over, Zhou felt sorry for her grandson and specially asked the cook to make mutton and gourd soup for Su Jian to nourish him.
Su Jian had been eating vegetarian food with the adults for the past few days, and his mouth was bland and tasteless. Today, when he saw the thick gourd soup made with noodles, he grinned with joy.
Just as I was about to put a spoonful of gourd soup into my mouth, I suddenly heard a sharp scream.
Chen rushed in and overturned the bowl next to Su Jian, spilling the whole bowl of gourd soup onto the ground.
Su Jian was stunned, and immediately burst into tears.
Everyone in the room was looking at Chen.
Only then did Chen realize her lapse in composure, her cheeks twitching as she stammered, "I...I...I'm afraid it's too hot..."
Zhou's face immediately darkened, and she slammed her chopsticks down on the table: "Chen, he is your son!"
She thought that Chen was forbidding her son from eating meat because he had to observe mourning for Zhang.
Chen hurriedly grabbed Su Jian and said to Zhou and Su Jingxuan, "I... I'll take Jian back first, and I won't bother you again."
After saying that, she hurriedly grabbed Su Jian and ran away.
Zhou looked at her husband and daughter with a puzzled expression, then pointed to the door and said, "Has she lost her mind?"
Su Jingxuan frowned: "She's the one who lost her mother, so you should say less."
Su Xuerong, however, remained calm and continued eating her rice and water.
The rice I cooked today was thick and fragrant, quite delicious.
Chen grabbed Su Jian and ran back to the neighboring courtyard as if fleeing. She quickly grabbed a pot of cold tea from the table, pinched Su Jian's mouth shut, and forced him to drink it.
Su Jian's face turned bright red as he vomited repeatedly after being force-fed by Chen.
Chen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he had vomited nothing.
Su Jian recovered and burst into tears: "My gourd soup..."
He cried and tried to run outside, but Chen grabbed him and said sternly, "You're not allowed to go there again!"
As he spoke, he carried Su Jian back to the backyard, put him in his house, locked him with a large iron lock, and went out.
As Chen passed by the Su family next door, she glanced nervously into the house.
The door was wide open, and one could faintly hear voices coming from inside.
Huang Silang said that the poison would take several hours to take effect, and if the Su family drank the well water in the morning, the symptoms would not appear until evening.
Even if the authorities questioned her, she would no longer be a suspect.
Thinking this, Chen hurriedly walked towards the other side of the riverbank.
She looked behind her again and found that no one was following her. She walked around a few corners and came to a house. She pushed open the door and went inside.
Huang Silang and Huang Shi walked out of a house, yawning, with Huang Shi's hand still on Huang Silang's waist.
Looking at the two of them, who looked like they had just woken up, Chen cursed them as a pair of adulterers in her heart and said to Huang Silang, "Pour them all into the well."
Huang Silang smiled and exchanged a glance with Huang Shi.
Huang immediately beamed and went to greet Chen, taking her arm in hers: "Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work."
Chen said coldly, "Don't give me that. Give me back my clothes!"
That day, Huang Silang coaxed her into having sex. When she hurriedly got up to go back, Huang Silang left her with his tube top.
It was precisely because of this bodice that Chen was so easily manipulated by Huang Silang.
Huang Silang chuckled lightly: "We're practically family now, what's the rush?"
Chen pushed Huang aside and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Let me tell you, all of the Su family's assets will belong to my son!"
Huang Silang's face darkened, and he reached out to pinch Chen's chin, sneering, "Oh? You're so sure all that property belongs to your son?"
Just as Chen was about to say something, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her neck, and a spurt of blood spurted out.
As she fell, she heard Huang Silang chuckle: "This foolish woman actually thought we were here to help her..."
Then Huang's sweet voice rang out: "Fourth Brother, we've already agreed that you'll give me half of the Su family's house deeds and land deeds..."
Chen's vision gradually darkened, but she still heard a woman's scream.
"Why……"
"What do you think you are, you lowly woman, to dare to share with me?" Huang Silang's vicious voice rang out, "Those are all mine!"
Chen regretted it, but it was too late. She closed her eyes tightly in the end…
Huang Silang dragged the two women's corpses into the woodshed of the temporarily rented courtyard, locked it, quickly changed his clothes, and went out, heading towards the south of the city.
