"Aunt Lin came to me before and asked me to marry the head of the household and bear him a child to continue the family line. Aunt Lin also told me that she was barren. If I gave birth to a son, he would provide for me and see me to the grave."
"I disagreed and kicked Aunt Lin out. They must be holding a grudge against me for this. Also, Aunt Lin had suggested several times that I let them use my firewood shed to raise chickens and ducks."
The people in the village looked at the couple in shock.
Bei Yutang looked at her with a smile, "Although you are not the principal offender, you are an accomplice."
The village chief's face turned cold, "Catch her."
Aunt Lin wanted to escape, but a sword was placed on her neck, preventing her from moving.
Aunt Lin looked at the man holding the sword angrily.
Two villagers stepped forward and tied up Lin, and Feng Lihen indifferently retracted his sword.
"The two of them failed in their abduction, so they wanted to kill her to silence her. Once Sanniang died, her house would naturally become yours. You are committing murder for money. Both of you are guilty of the same crime, and you should be executed." Bei Yutang said in a deep voice, word by word.
Yue San sneered, "Don't forget, your son is still in my hands. If I die, your son will never live again. Let me go now."
Aunt Lin immediately shouted, "And me, and me."
"Yes. And my wife."
"I can let you go, but only one of you can be released. My son has only one life, and if you two kill each other, I can only exchange one life. You decide for yourself, should I let you go or your wife?" Bei Yutang looked at him calmly.
Yue San glanced at his wife, ignoring the pleading in her eyes, "I."
"Yue San, you bastard," Aunt Lin said angrily, "it's a waste of all I've done for you."
Yue San ignored her and said anxiously to Bei Yutang, "Tell them all to move aside. And give me one hundred taels of silver, and I'll take the horse."
Bei Yutang seemed not to hear his words and continued to talk to Aunt Lin, "This is the man you wanted to keep. In his eyes, you are just a dispensable existence. You planned everything for him, gave everything for him, and in return, this is the result. Are you willing?"
Aunt Lin kept shaking her head. Her words kept echoing in her ears, constantly reminding her of being betrayed and abandoned.
"No, I won't accept it." Aunt Lin roared.
Seeing Aunt Lin's expression, Yue San anxiously shouted at Bei Yutang and his group, "What are you talking about? If you keep talking, I'll kill him."
"Mo'er, stop playing. It's time to end."
"Okay, mother." Little Moer responded obediently.
Before Yue San could react and figure out what they meant, he felt a sharp pain in his hand, like the biting cold in winter, and the pain made him subconsciously let go of his hand.
The moment he let go of his hand, the little man in front of him broke away and kicked him to the ground.
This scene happened so fast that no one could react.
"Uncle, tie him up with a rope." Xiao Moer reminded.
Everyone woke up as if from a dream.
Several villagers came forward, held him down, and tied him up with swift hands and feet.
"Village chief, what are you going to do with them?" Bei Yutang asked.
The village chief looked at the couple with a grim expression and said in a cold voice, "They are committing murder for money. Just drown them in the pond."
