Chapter 490 Better to Kill by Mistake
That is why a philandering old man would say to a young lady, "My wife can only be your mother."
Because his wife has changed to someone else, Madam Nian is no longer his wife. What right does he have to exploit her?
Only in the name of love can one eat a person thoroughly, leaving not even a trace of bones.
The fear gradually faded away, leaving only some pity.
She thought of the ghosts in horror novels, which all seemed to be women and children.
The more you owe something, the more you fear it.
Everyone knows whose flesh and blood they are sucking, which is why they are so scared.
......
In the main courtyard.
The old man wiped the relics of his late wife and thought to himself, "Madam, how could you be so ignorant?"
"I just brought a woman into the mansion, but you were so angry that you wasted so much effort."
"I made my fortune with your dowry, but you should also be more reasonable and not expect a successful man to be indifferent to beauty."
"Your destiny of bringing good fortune to my husband has gone from bringing good fortune to my whole life to only bringing good fortune to me for another twenty years."
He murmured to himself at the relics, his tone affectionate and tender.
"If you were more generous, you wouldn't have ended up like this. You brought this upon yourself by not taking good care of your position."
"Don't worry, I won't let you out even when the time comes."
"After all, I am afraid that you will take revenge on me. When I am buried in the earth, I want to go to the underworld in peace and quiet."
Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew, and the whistling wind seemed to be mixed with someone's mournful sobs.
The old man was not afraid at all. He had a strange smile on his face and said in a low voice that disappeared in the wind: "I won't be punished. I have been helping the poor and giving out porridge. To be honest, I am a good man."
"Madam, we will never see each other again in the next life~"
…
After searching for several days, the results all showed that they were the ones who were killed because they discovered the secret of Lan Xiyuan.
The old man had a good reputation among the people, but his reputation was ruined when the story of his wife's ghost got out.
But Bei Jingchu could not stay in Jiazhou any longer.
Although I have made up an excuse, it would be better if I didn't have to use it.
She turned around the room several times, the low bronze mirror reflecting the swirling, slightly fluttering hem of her skirt.
"No, I'm still worried."
"When people try to test the hardness of glass, it is doomed to break."
"So whether he killed the ration buyer because he found out about us or not, I don't completely believe it."
Bei Jingchu's eyes lit up.
"Since we still can't find out the truth, we might as well arrest them and torture them severely."
"Anyway, he was the one who killed our people, so he deserves a round of torture."
"Report to me immediately if you find out anything."
"In the end, if there was nothing to be learned even if we beat him to death, we would just poison him to death, change his skin, and pretend that he died suddenly at night."
Jiang Longshou hesitated and said, "But if the Nian family asks a coroner to perform an autopsy, wouldn't it be clear immediately?"
Bei Jingchu curled her lips slightly.
"So we have to give Madam Nian a push to successfully inherit the Nian family."
"Think about it, if I had a mother who loved me dearly and whose spirit was suppressed after death, would I want to abandon this Lanxiyuan and release her?"
"What do you think is the reason why she doesn't take action?"
Of course, I am considering my old grandfather.
Since the man felt that his wife brought him good fortune, his daughter was ignorant and destroyed his fortune.
Regardless of whether it is really useful or not, Madam Nian will have a hard time in the future.
"So... in order to ensure that she can inherit the family property smoothly, Madam Nian will not create any trouble during the time when Old Master Nian is dead."
"He could only have died of natural causes."
"Unless her love for her father is greater than anything else, she would seek justice for him even if she has to give up the family property."
Is this possible?
"As long as Madam Nian is the heir, she will never allow a coroner to perform an autopsy."
Bei Jingchu clapped her hands and stood up.
"Let's go back to Beijing. We can just have someone keep an eye on the rest."
A disturbance was settled within three days.
The guests of Lanxiyuan hurriedly disappeared after leaving their resignation letters.
The old man died in prison with his eyes open.
He had silenced many people in order to keep the secret, but he never imagined that just by killing a small fish he would attract the Dragon King in the water.
Before he died, he was so scared that he struggled and begged for mercy: "Who is your master!"
"I meant absolutely no offense!"
"I promise him a huge sum of money... No, I promise him my entire fortune! Don't kill me!"
"You can't take human life like this!"
