Chapter 100: It's a Wolf
There must be a cause for any dispute, Chu Liuzheng searched forward.
[Got it! Let me see... Zhao Yue is filial and sensible. She helps out at a pancake stall selling pancakes. Because of her pretty face and quick work savvy, the owner of Li's Cloth Shop took a fancy to her and sent a matchmaker to propose marriage for his son.]
[The owner of this Li's Cloth Shop is Mr. Li. Hmm... the betrothal gift is quite generous, showing real sincerity.]
[But since they're already married, why are you sending servants to beat people up?]
Chu Liuzheng quickly scrolled through a long list of betrothal gifts to see what happened next.
[Frog fun! No wonder Mr. Li's son is such a fool despite the huge betrothal gift!]
[Not only is he stupid, he also has a violent streak. He's already beaten to death Liu'er, Cui'er, Qin'er... one, two, three, four, five, six, a total of six maids!]
[Damn! Stupid and violent, even more lethal than a mental illness... Wait a minute! The Li family's idiot son has already been married twice, and his first two wives were both beaten to death by him.]
[Hiss—what the Li family gave wasn't a betrothal gift at all, it was clearly money to buy my life!]
Chu Liuzheng read quickly and intuitively felt that the accident that happened to Yuzhui's parents was probably related to this marriage.
[As expected! ]
Yuzhui's parents were unaware of the situation and thought it was their daughter's lucky break, so they happily agreed to the marriage.
Yuzhui's uncle worked as a handyman in a teahouse. He heard someone say that the Li family was about to marry off their foolish son. After asking around, he discovered that the foolish son was Zhao Yue's fiancé and not a good husband. He hurried to tell Yuzhui's parents.
Yuzhui's parents were reluctant to send their daughter to the fire pit, so they took the betrothal gifts and went to the Li family to cancel the engagement.
Master Li was unwilling to let the already cooked duck fly away, so he superficially agreed to cancel the engagement, but in reality he sent his servants disguised as thugs to overturn the pancake stall and beat up Yuzhui's parents, waiting for Zhao Yue to come to him to beg for medical expenses and beg to marry into the Li family.
However, Master Li hadn't anticipated the servant's reckless beatings, inflicting such severe damage that Yuzhui's parents died. Upon hearing that Yuzhui's uncle had gone to the authorities, he worried that he might be implicated, so he sent someone to Shuntian Prefecture to make arrangements.
[Fuck! No wonder Shuntian Prefecture ignored this murder case and even gave the jade pendant's uncle ten lashes. It seems they accepted the Li family's money! !]
Chu Liuzheng was so angry that he clenched his back teeth.
[If an official doesn't serve the people, he'd be better off hanging himself!]
[Pooh! Dog official! ! ]
Moxiang saw the anger on her face and patted her gently: "If I had known you would be so angry, I wouldn't have told you. Calm down, the porridge is getting cold, eat quickly."
Chu Liuzheng had no appetite for porridge at the moment. He took two quick bites and said he was full.
While Moxiang was washing the dishes, she reopened the system to read the rest of the content.
[My cousin's family helped with the funeral arrangements. Zhao Yue cried until she fainted several times and disappeared after her parents were buried.]
[Hmm? Where are we going... Uh, Zhao Yue ran to the Li family, saying that her parents had died and she had no family to protect her. She was willing to marry into the Li family as a daughter-in-law, just asking for a place of shelter.]
"No way! Silly sister, Master Li is the murderer of your father and mother! You can't marry that violent idiot!!"
Chu Liuzheng felt a pang of grief in his heart, and at the same time he felt that something was wrong.
"Zhao Yue is such a filial son, why would she marry right after her parents died? Getting married during the mourning period is against etiquette."
She clicked on other related gossips, and as she read, her mouth gradually opened into an 'O' shape.
[Fuck! This little sister is actually a Langmie!]
Master Li had a brilliant plan. Considering Zhao Yue was now alone and helpless, with no one to back her up, he wanted her to spend the wedding night with his foolish son that very night, making it a done deal. He would then have the final say on what happened next.
[Tsk tsk, if Master Li knew that he was the one who pushed his foolish son to the grave, he would probably regret it to death.]
Zhao Yue had recognized that the man who had beaten her parents to death was a servant of the Li family. Since the authorities ignored her, she waited until her parents were buried to seek revenge. She tricked the Li family's foolish son into playing a game during their wedding night. She tied him up and gagged him, then pulled out a kitchen knife hidden in his clothes... and performed a pig-killing knife trick.
[Awesome! Thirteen slashes, each one fatal. Yuzhui's parents broke thirteen bones combined. It's truly a one-for-one revenge.]
Chu Liuzheng could imagine the scene of blood splattering, and he shuddered a little while silently giving a thumbs up.
[The werewolf sister has great knife skills! She's especially deft because she once helped slaughter a pig during Chinese New Year. It turns out that life experience always comes in handy at some point.]
Although it is not advisable to fight violence with violence, but... Chu Liuzheng clicked his tongue twice in his heart and continued to dig.
After dealing with the Li family's foolish son, Zhao Yue set fires everywhere. Taking advantage of the chaos, she hacked at Mr. Li's shoulder and then hacked at the two servants who had beaten her parents. She then escaped through the back door of the Li family's house.
Master Li was furious. While ordering people to put out the fire, he also sent for the police and ordered his servants to chase Zhao Yue. Shuntian Prefecture's yamen runners searched everywhere... Oh, now you're not pretending to be dead anymore. You can do anything with money, right?
Chu Liuzheng curled his lips.
Corrupt officials existed in every dynasty, nothing new. Compared to that, she was more concerned about the whereabouts of her werewolf sister.
[Since Yuzhui's uncle is still looking for her, Zhao Yue should not have been found by the government or the Li family...]
She searched around in the system.
【Where did you hide? 】
【Uh-huh? 】
His gaze paused, Chu Liuzheng suspected that he had seen it wrong, closed his eyes, counted to five silently, and then opened them again.
[Holy crap! It really is an inn!]
[There were so many guards at the posthouse, how did Zhao Yue get in?]
Chu Liuzheng admired this werewolf sister more and more and couldn't wait to see the details.
【Oh, so it's because of the Xixia Princess. 】
The werewolf's sister is quite good at making up stories, half true, half false, about how her parents died, she was sold into a ghost marriage, and she swore to never obey... The Xixia princess took pity on her and took her in as a maid, keeping her by her side to serve her.
The Second Prince of Xixia disagreed, and the Princess of Xixia threatened to commit suicide. The Second Prince had no choice but to agree to keep Zhao Yue. However, he suspected someone behind Zhao Yue's back, and he had been sending people to investigate Zhao Yue's identity.
[Luckily, the government didn't issue a wanted order, otherwise the werewolf sister would have been discovered in a minute.]
Chu Liuzheng sighed softly and couldn't help but sigh.
How did the Xixia royal family, with their wicked hearts, raise a naive princess? If you believe everything they say, you wouldn't survive more than two episodes if you were to end up in a cannibalistic harem.
She looked up Zhao Yue's movements and let out a soft "eh".
The Princess is hosting a plum blossom viewing banquet today at the Jinxiu Pavilion in the Imperial Gardens. She has invited Princess Gaochang, Princess Xixia, and Princess Gaoli to join her for tea and plum blossom viewing. Zhao Yue will also be accompanying Princess Xixia into the palace. If Yuzhui goes to the Imperial Gardens, the two sisters might be able to meet.
Some people just can't stand being nagged. Chu Liuzheng was just thinking about it when the jade pendant suddenly came back.
