Chapter 68: The Truth
"You didn't? If you didn't, then how did I die?!"
Jin Tao's pitch-black eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
She stared at Jin Tao intently, tears and blood welling up in her eyes, and suddenly she smiled.
"That's right. If someone like you wants to kill someone, you don't have to do it yourself. If you just say you don't like that Lin Xiu already has a wife, no one will want me and my child to live!"
She gritted her teeth, and the resentment emanating from her almost swallowed up Li Shuhui.
Seeing the innocence in Li Shuhui's eyes that didn't seem fake, Jin Tao clenched her fingers tightly into her palms, her eyes full of resentment. This rich young lady looked so innocent, but this innocence was earned by stepping on the blood of people like her!
"They say poverty breeds evil schemes, while wealth breeds conscience. Li Shuhui, you look so innocent! With just a glance from you, everyone under you helps you do all the dirty work, and they even make sure you don't overhear. Of course, you've been protected from the ways of the world!"
Those secretive and dirty tricks would never be revealed to Li Shuhui. Of course, she could just pretend to be innocent in front of him and say that it had nothing to do with the Li family!
Li Shuhui's face was pale. She stared blankly at Jin Tao, her face bewildered. She subconsciously grabbed Chen's hand and said, "Mom, I haven't done anything like this, and you haven't done it either, right?"
Chen wiped the tears from her daughter's face with a heartache. A heavy anger settled in her heart. She turned to look at Su Tan and said, "County Lady Jiayi, you are very good at divination. Did we inform Father and Mother Lin to bury her alive? You will know with just one calculation."
A person with a clear conscience fears no slander. Li Shuhui was well-educated by herself, and she would never allow a basin of dirty water to be thrown on her good daughter. "It's a good opportunity to let Miss Jintao hear it. If it was really done by someone from our mansion, whoever harmed you will be killed!"
"But if this has nothing to do with our Li family, Miss Jin Tao, what will you do?"
Li Cen, the Marquis of Jian'an, was a man who had done nothing wrong and was not afraid of ghosts knocking on his door. He had a stern expression and protected his daughter behind him. "Miss Jintao, your experience is regrettable, but my Shuhui is not a cruel person."
"If Lin Xiu really had a wife, my Shuhui wouldn't even look at him."
When Jin Tao saw that the Li family was protecting Li Shuhui with all their heart and eyes, she somehow thought of her own parents.
Her parents had never loved her since she was a child, and she had never felt much warmth. So after marrying into the Lin family, the "kindness" and "leniency and love" of Lin's father and mother made her feel surrounded by warmth.
Seeing the Li family protecting Li Shuhui, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She gritted her teeth and said, "You are all birds of a feather. Naturally, you will speak for her!"
Su Tan lowered her eyes slightly. After a moment, she looked at Jin Tao with clear eyes, "Your burial alive has nothing to do with the Li family."
"It was your husband, Lin Xiu. He worked hard and finally climbed up the ladder of power in the Jian'an Marquisate. That's why he couldn't wait to get rid of you. But he didn't want to bear the blame, so he wanted to put everything on the Jian'an Marquisate."
Jin Tao's face turned pale and she subconsciously took two steps back.
Her lips and teeth trembled, "No... This is impossible!"
Su Tan saw Jin Tao's incredulous face reflected in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh.
There are many infatuated women and unfaithful men in this world, and women will always subconsciously find excuses for men.
It seems like a good man has been led astray by other women.
Little do people know that flies don't bite seamless eggs.
"If Lin Xiu is interested, he can tell the emperor that he was able to go to the capital to take the imperial examination thanks to your tireless embroidery day and night."
"By then, even the emperor will praise the virtue of the number one scholar's wife, and the world will also praise the number one scholar for being faithful to his wife."
"No matter how bold the people of Jian'an Marquis' Mansion are, can they really go against the emperor?"
But what did Lin Xiu do?
He had Jin Tao buried alive.
Su Tan was both amused and annoyed. "If he wanted to protect you, he would definitely have done so. But his whole family forced you to death, and yet you still think he's innocent. Jin Tao, you clearly haven't let his family go, so why did you let him go?"
Tears of blood fell from Jin Tao's eyes.
Her fingers were trembling, her spirit body was shaky, and she could hardly stand.
yes.
She never let Lin Xiu's family go.
Because no matter what the difficulties of Lin's father and mother were, they both buried her alive with their own hands. She begged loudly at that time, but she did not get the slightest pity from them, nor did they show any mercy.
When she was suffocated to death in the coffin, she gave birth to a daughter from the coffin.
Her child had the same miserable fate as her, suffocating to death in the coffin. The mother and daughter were filled with resentment, and on the seventh day, she and her daughter killed Lin's father and mother.
However, the Marquis Jian'an Mansion was protected by golden light, and the daughter could not get close. She entered the Marquis Jian'an Mansion alone, wishing she could kill the entire family to vent her anger.
But Jin Tao can't.
The merits and murderous aura of Marquis Jian'an made it impossible for her to get close to him. His wife and daughter were also deeply protected by him, so she could not hurt these people in the slightest.
Jin Tao can only pick on the weak and start by causing trouble for Old Lady Chen.
However, even so, Old Lady Chen could only become seriously ill.
It is not possible to completely kill Old Lady Chen for the time being.
Jin Tao's resentment grew day by day.
Originally, she was about to tear apart the last bit of golden light that protected Old Lady Chen.
Once the golden light shatters, Old Lady Chen will surely die.
But Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared.
Jin Tao stared at Su Tan, stubbornly believing that Lin Xiu was innocent.
"I don't believe this has anything to do with Lin Xiu. I absolutely don't believe it!"
"You must be lying to me!"
"You and they are deceiving me!"
Su Tan looked at her quietly.
People are always only willing to believe what they believe.
She used to be like this.
The same is true for golden peaches today.
"Whether I really lied to you or not, wouldn't you know everything if you went to the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion?"
After Lin Xiu won the first place in the imperial examination, he was deeply loved by Emperor Qinglong. When Emperor Qinglong learned that the first place winner's family was poor, he immediately granted him a mansion.
He has been very popular recently.
Jin Tao was speechless.
She might not be unaware that what Su Tan said was true.
At least she wasn't completely without doubt.
But it is much easier to vent all the resentment on Li Shuhui than to point the finger at Lin Xiu.
She and Li Shuhui had never met before, so even if she killed the other person's entire family, she would just take revenge for the wrongs.
But what about killing Lin Xiu?
Jin Tao closed her eyes, tears and blood welling up in her eyes.
If he killed Lin Xiu, it would be equivalent to killing his past self, and all his previous efforts would be a joke.
People are always reluctant to admit their failures.
It is always better to put all the blame on others than to blame yourself.
"No……"
Jin Tao subconsciously wanted to escape.
She gritted her teeth and immediately turned her head away, not looking into Su Tan's eyes.
"I'm not going!"
Jin Tao shouted these words almost at the top of her lungs.
"I know you're all lying to me. This is just an excuse to exonerate yourself. You're hired by the Li family, so naturally you'll speak for them!"
"I don't believe you!"
"Don't even think about provoking me!"
Shouting these words almost exhausted all his strength.
Jin Tao seemed to have lost all her strength and fell heavily to the ground.
Li Shuhui, with a pale face and a panicked expression, asked Su Tan, "County Lady Jiayi, you just said that my marriage with Lin Xiu was orchestrated by him."
Li Shuhui's lips and teeth were trembling.
She almost encountered bandits, and Lin Xiu risked his life to save her, but was seriously injured and almost lost his life.
