Xu Keke didn't care whether Lin Meijuan was truly insane or faking it, and she pried Lin Meijuan's fingers off her clothes one by one, without loosening her grip at all. Lin Meijuan winced in pain, crying out incessantly.
Du Jue wanted to take Lin Meijuan away, but Xu Keke stopped him with a look.
Du Jue dared to fight Du Bingtian for Lin Meijuan's sake, but when Xu Keke looked at him, he felt inexplicably guilty.
He dared not move. He knew that if he moved, Xu Keke would not be polite to him.
"So you just watched her fall down the stairs. She fell to her death right in front of you."
Xu Keke looked at Lin Meijuan coldly.
"What did you say?" Du Bingtian rushed out of the house, staring at her in disbelief. "What are you saying?"
Xu Keke didn't even look at him, only staring at Lin Meijuan, "You stole her life, and then watched her die tragically in front of you."
"Who are you?" Old Madam Du stood in terror on the corridor not far away. Her face trembled involuntarily in the lamplight. Suddenly, one of the lights behind her went out, startling Old Madam Du, who took two steps forward.
She kept asking, "Who are you? Who are you?"
"Who am I?" Xu Keke sneered.
“I am the woman who fell down these stairs, her own daughter! Didn’t you raise me with your own hands? Should I thank you for raising me, or should I hate you? Without you, how could I be without a mother?”
Just because she wants to take her own money from the Kim family and leave your son.
"Then you should just kill her."
Old Madam Du, thinking she knew everything, fearfully defended herself.
"That's not her money. No, it's what I agreed upon with the Du family when Bingtian married her. Otherwise, how could an illegitimate daughter like her marry our Bingtian?"
She took my son abroad and made him believe that a man should only marry one wife. She monopolized him and made him listen to her in everything. She is a bastard born of a slut.
She's just got a little money. Otherwise, why would I have agreed to let her in?
"Whose fault is it that she couldn't stand up? I only touched her lightly; it was her own fault for losing her balance."
It was just a touch? Xu Keke knew that Madam Du wouldn't lie to her at this point.
She looked at the second concubine, who hadn't had time to change her clothes yet. The bright yellow cheongsam she was wearing that evening swayed with her movements. She wanted to look away, but she seemed frozen in place, only able to stare blankly at Xu Keke.
Xu Keke snorted coldly, pressing her, "So it was you who drugged her!"
"I, I just..." the second concubine stammered.
Xu Keke glanced at Lin Meijuan again; her eyes were complicated, as if she was thinking about something.
Xu Keke laughed, "All these years you've been controlled by others, not only because of your daughter, but because others have something on you."
Knowing that making excuses was useless, the second concubine muttered, "It was Madam. I didn't know about her affair with Master. She told me that if she left, the Lin family would have no money. She gave me a packet of medicine, saying that it wouldn't kill me, but it would make me unable to move."
Although her words were incoherent, Xu Keke understood them. So, these three women killed the original owner's mother. Lin Meijuan gave the second concubine the medicine, and the second concubine gave the medicine to the original owner's mother. The old lady accidentally pushed her down the stairs.
All three of them are murderers.
A voice suddenly appeared in Xu Keke's mind. "Game player. Mission complete. Do you wish to end this world?"
Xu Keke pressed "No" without any hesitation.
Xu Keke moved out of the Du family's house that very evening.
Not long after, the Du family heard the news that she had gone abroad.
The Du family didn't know how Xu Keke had negotiated with the Sun family. The police didn't come to arrest Lin Meijuan.
Later, Lin Meijuan thought countless times that she would have been better off being arrested.
Du Wei won an award in an architectural model competition. The prize was a scholarship to study abroad.
After discussing it with Du Jue, Du Wei accepted the prize. Not long after, Mayor Hu and his wife also sent Hu Jiaru abroad. Kang Quan and his sister, entrusted with taking care of her, also went with them.
Hearing that Nanjing had sent people to investigate, and that they were supposed to detain him for questioning, Du Bingtian was so frightened that he sold his house and ancestral home in the countryside to raise money for the investigation team.
Unexpectedly, he fell for it again. The Nanjing government, preoccupied with the tense war situation, did not send any investigation team at all.
In a fit of anger and shock, Du Bingtian suffered a stroke, resulting in paralysis on the left side of his face. His job, which he was already at risk of losing, was now completely out of reach.
The family lost their house and their ancestral home in the countryside, and moved into a lane. They were squeezed into three small rooms.
With no servants left, they had to do all the chores themselves. Life became increasingly difficult. Forget about eating meat; even meals were rationed for each person.
Du Bingtian was in a bad mood and began to abuse Lin Meijuan every few days. At first, Du Jue was unaware of this. Later, when the beatings became more severe, Du Jue noticed.
Du Jue and Du Bingtian had a fight. From then on, Lin Meijuan never dared to let Du Jue know that she had been beaten by Du Bingtian.
Because after Du Jue left, when Du Bingtian beat her, he used lethal force and also beat the Du Shan sisters.
Lin Meijuan was scared. When the two sisters cried and screamed, Madam Du, who was sitting in the armchair, shouted, "If it doesn't work, then sell them both."
Lin Meijuan was content with suffering herself. What she feared was that Du Bingtian would actually sell her daughter.
Not only were they beaten, but people would also harass them from time to time when Du Jue was not at home. They said Du Bingtian owed them money. They even had IOUs from Du Bingtian.
