Chapter 177 The apple of my eye! More like a demon!
(Thanks to Nian'er_AC for casting 2 monthly tickets.)
Liu Shu put down her wine glass and looked at Li Shiyue, who was sticking her neck out, with great interest.
His eyes were full of amusement, and Li Shiyue felt very uncomfortable looking at him, her whole body aching.
She had an urge to stand up and slap Liu Shu twice across the face.
However, she's very good at putting on an act.
Li Shiyue lowered her head and then raised it again with a smile on her face, hiding all her dissatisfaction. She looked at Liu Shu and said, "Your Highness, when I was watching this play, I was thinking that this was a life-or-death situation. The eldest son is too indecisive."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Li Shiyue felt Jiang Huijun lightly pat her under the table. She turned her head and smiled at Jiang Huijun before turning back to look at Liu Shu.
She was smiling, but her words carried a murderous intent.
"The eldest son was wrong."
He's completely wrong!
As Li Shiyue spoke, she first glanced at Jiang Huijun, and then at Liu Tan, who seemed indifferent to their conversation but was actually listening intently.
Then she turned to Liu Shu and said, word by word, "The eldest son's mistake was that he trusted family ties and wasn't decisive enough in taking action!"
When his wife threatened him with the lives of her wife and children, he should have known that there was no longer any room for him and his family in the house.
The interests of the legal wife and her son are at odds with those of the eldest son's family.
It's already a life-or-death situation between them.
Since the legal wife was the first to intend to kill, the eldest son's job was to rescue his wife and son and then quickly kill the legal wife.
escape?
There's absolutely no need to run!
The eldest son should wait at home for his wealthy merchant father and his younger brother, the second son, to return. Then, he should plant executioners and, if ruthless, murder his father and brother!
When Li Shiyue uttered the words "patricide and fratricide," Li Wangming was probably the only one at the table who showed no surprise whatsoever.
After all, Li Shiyue had already said the same thing to Li Wangming when they were in the hibiscus flower private room.
Li Wangming, who was already shocked at the time, was still deeply moved when Li Shiyue said "killing his father and brother" again. Although he appeared unmoved on the surface, he was still very touched in his heart.
Li Wangming still felt that Li Shiyue was a bit too ruthless. In Li Wangming's view, that was, after all, the eldest son's biological father and younger brother!
No matter what, you shouldn't have killed him!
"Good! That's how it should be!"
October! Ma San, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!
That's exactly what I like to hear!
What the heck?
If I were the eldest son, I'd take a knife and chop up everyone who bullied my wife and kids!
Li Shiyue laughed; she burst out laughing.
She didn't expect that when no one at the table responded to her, Ma San, who was standing to the side, was the first to answer her!
"Brother Ma, come on, I'll drink tea instead of wine, let's have a drink!"
After Li Shiyue and Ma San drank a cup together, she sat down gently, put down her teacup, and then asked Liu Shu, who was somewhat dumbfounded, with a smile, "Your Highness, how was it?"
Do you also think the idea I gave my eldest son is good?
"What?! This is... utterly immoral!"
Leaving aside the fact that the legal wife is the eldest son's stepmother according to social custom, the wealthy merchant was the eldest son's biological father, and his younger brother had never harmed him. How could he possibly commit patricide and fratricide!
"Why can't he?"
Li Shiyue stared at Liu Shu with her round eyes and asked her this question.
“If the eldest son doesn’t resist, it’s one thing if he dies, but wouldn’t his wife and children be innocent?”
Just because the eldest son is weak, he will lose his life!
In a family feud over property, once one party harbors murderous intent, it becomes a fight to the death.
Even I, a mere maid, know this; how could you, Your Highness, a scholar, not know?
At this point, Li Shiyue softened her tone and continued to Liu Shu with a smile, "However, I do have a way to avoid killing my father and brother."
"Oh? October, then tell me what this method is?"
Liu Tan suddenly asked about Li Shiyue.
Li Shiyue sat in her seat, looked towards Liu Tan, and bowed to Liu Tan with her hands clasped.
"General, my plan is this: the eldest son should immediately tie up his wealthy father and his younger brother, who have just entered the family, and then break the younger brother's legs in front of his own father!"
It must be interrupted, but without harming his life; spare his life.
Then, secretly, they would administer some drugs, depending on their mood. If they were in a good mood, they would administer some sterilization drugs and keep him in the yard, so that he could keep his wealthy father company.
If you're in a bad mood, just take some deadly medicine and slowly die of the illness;
Or, you could set a fire at night and burn them to death.
Thus, the game is resolved.
Liu Shu was genuinely scared at this moment, and all the alcohol he had drunk that night had now worn off.
Looking at Li Shiyue's pretty face, he uttered such vicious words, making Liu Shu feel that Li Shiyue was like the legendary man-eating female demon.
At that moment, Li Shiyue smiled at Liu Shu with her perfectly formed eight-toothed smile, which startled Liu Shu so much that she almost fell backward from her seat.
Fortunately, Li Wangming, who was sitting next to Liu Shu, helped him up; otherwise, Liu Shu would have been embarrassed on the spot.
Seeing Liu Shu like this, Li Shiyue felt somewhat relieved.
"Your Highness, what do you think? Is my idea good?"
Liu Shu raised his hand and took a sip of wine. After drinking the wine, his earlier fear subsided.
Hearing Li Shiyue ask this, Liu Shu held the empty wine glass in her hand and looked up at Li Shiyue: "Madam Li, isn't there a way to make everyone happy?"
Why do all your methods involve fighting and killing?
They're brothers, after all. Even if they don't share the same mother, they're still brothers from the same father. Why would they fight to the death over family wealth?
"Haha, haha," Li Shiyue burst into laughter on the table, and once she started laughing, she couldn't stop.
If it weren't for her own lowly status at this moment, she would have really wanted to point her finger at Liu Shu and laugh at him.
However, Li Shiyue's smile showed no respect for Liu Shu whatsoever.
Liu Shu's face visibly darkened as Li Shiyue continued to laugh.
Jiang Huijun raised her hand and poured tea for Li Shiyue, shoving it into Li Shiyue's hand. Only then did Li Shiyue manage to stop laughing by pretending to drink the tea.
Suppressing his laughter, Li Shiyue quickly put down his teacup, cupped his hands, and bowed to Liu Shu, saying apologetically, "Your Highness, please don't be offended. I couldn't help myself for a moment. It was not disrespectful to Your Highness. I offer you tea instead of wine as an apology."
After drinking the entire cup of tea, Li Shiyue put down the cup, stood up, and gave Liu Shu a proper bow.
Li Wangming, who was half a step behind Li Shiyue, also stood up abruptly and bowed to Liu Shu along with her.
Given Li Shiyue's behavior, how could Liu Shu, who is so concerned about her reputation, hold onto this slight disrespect from Li Shiyue?
He could only wave his hand magnanimously, saying it was nothing, and let Li Shiyue off the hook.
Looking at the progress of the task in the system in his mind, Li Shiyue realized it was 83%. It seemed he still needed to step up his efforts and give it a final push.
That little devil! I'll become the demon in your heart!
