Chapter 83 Seducing Her Brother-in-Law!
At this moment, Li had already formed a perfect plan in his mind.
She planned to seduce her second brother, Shen Xiao, and kill her husband, Shen Yan.
Ideally, at the same time as killing Shen Yan, his mother-in-law, Madam Shen, should also die.
In this way, the entire Zhenguo Marquis's Mansion fell into her and Shen Xiao's hands!
That way.
She remains the high and mighty matriarch of the Zhenguo Marquis's mansion!
After all, Shen Xiao's wife was a concubine's daughter who was not respectable enough to be a proper mistress of the household.
Moreover, Shen Xiao has no children yet, and he will not have any in the future.
He was given a drug that would prevent him from having children by the jealous old lady Shen!
Her son will also be his "son"!
Perhaps Lady Li's status in the household is even higher than before.
After all, there wasn't an old lady above them keeping them in check.
Lord Shen is getting old, and having experienced the successive "deaths" of his eldest son and Madam Shen, he may also pass away soon.
As for Lord Shen's third illegitimate son, Shen Li, he is still young.
In addition, Shen Li's biological mother was just an orphan who sang opera, and without any support, she was no match for him.
at last.
Whether it was her son or Shen Xiao who inherited the title of Marquis of the Marquis's Mansion.
She, Lady Li, was the sole matriarch of the Zhenguo Marquis's mansion!
The more I thought about it, the more brilliant the plan seemed.
Shen Xiao already harbored resentment towards his elder brother, Shen Yan.
If she were to further instigate...
If we can make Shen Xiao covet the title, then many things will fall into place naturally.
The plan in my mind is becoming clearer and clearer.
That afternoon.
Li walked around the garden of the Shen residence countless times by herself.
Dusk was falling.
Only then did Madam Li return to her own courtyard.
In the days that followed.
The Li family began to make their plans quietly.
She first used Wang Lian'er's matter to frequently meet with Shen Xiao.
Every encounter.
She would subtly express her dissatisfaction with Shen Yan's favoritism towards his concubine over his wife.
Resentment towards Madam Shen.
And understanding and sympathy for Shen Xiao's situation...
"How has Second Uncle been lately?"
That day, Madam Li ran into Shen Xiao in the corridor and asked softly, "I heard that the old lady punished Second Uncle again a few days ago for some trivial matter?"
The old marquis is still in the army.
Fuzhong.
Madam Shen is the eldest.
She had to find all sorts of ways to torment this illegitimate son.
Shen Xiao has a high reputation in the army and seems to be vying with Shen Yan for the title!
Shen Xiao raised his head, his gloomy eyes brightening slightly when he saw Li Shi: "Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. It's just some trivial family matter."
Madam Li sighed softly, took a step forward, and lowered her voice considerably: "Second Uncle, why must you endure this? Everyone in this household knows that the Old Madam places great importance on the distinction between嫡子 (legitimate son) and 庶子 (illegitimate son). No matter how outstanding you are, Second Uncle, in her eyes you are ultimately inferior to..."
She stopped talking at the right moment, leaving plenty of room for imagination.
A hint of hostility flashed in Shen Xiao's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "Sister-in-law is joking."
Li took another step closer, so close they could almost feel each other's breath: "Second Uncle, are you really willing to remain subservient forever? With your talent, you should have had a much better future."
These words were like a key, unlocking the tightly closed door in Shen Xiao's heart.
The Marquis of Zhenguo's mansion controls 100,000 troops.
Logically, the one who inherits the title should be someone who can lead troops into battle.
But it's precisely because Shen Yan is the legitimate son.
Even though he knew no martial arts and had never been to the military camp, he still firmly held onto the title of Marquis.
Li's words were like a spark.
It splashed into Shen Xiao's already parched heart!
He suddenly looked up and met Li's pretty face, which seemed both angry and resentful.
When their eyes meet.
Li deliberately gave him a flirtatious wink.
Shen Xiao felt his throat go dry, his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and a wave of guilt-ridden heat rose from his lower abdomen.
Li took in his reaction.
She said no more, leaving only a meaningful look before gracefully turning and leaving behind a lingering fragrance, while the distracted Shen Xiao stood frozen in place.
From that day on.
An invisible barrier between the two was broken.
Interactions became more frequent and "naturally"
Li always managed to find the most appropriate excuse.
Sometimes it was "by chance" that a tonic was stewed and invited to my second uncle's liking.
Sometimes it's a "chance" encounter in the garden and corridor.
Every time I'm alone.
Li's words were like a carefully woven net, first expressing admiration for Shen Xiao's talent, and then understanding and sympathy for his situation.
Then, the conversation would "unintentionally" steer towards Shinobi...
Will she, with red eyes, recount Shen Yan's "neglect" of her?
How did I become so bewitched by that "vixen" Wang Lian'er?
Why do I lack tenderness and consideration for her?
Each time, Li's tears welled up but didn't fall, her voice choked with emotion...
Shen Xiao was so aroused that he wanted to hold her in his arms and comfort her immediately.
The things that Li thought about when she killed her husband.
She won't say it directly!
But she kept brainwashing Shen Xiao.
Shen Yande is unworthy of his position, incompetent and heartless.
But Shen Xiao is the real pearl that has been tarnished, and he deserves to be treated better.
These words, like a slow poison, gradually eroded Shen Xiao's reason.
This also made Shen Xiao feel more and more pity for this "poor" sister-in-law, as well as a sense of closeness as a fellow "victim".
opportunity.
Under Li's meticulous planning, it finally came to fruition.
That day, Shen Xiao's wife went back to her parents' home for a short stay.
Shen Yan stayed in Wang Lian'er's west courtyard.
Unfortunately, today Old Madam Shen deliberately picked a fight, gave Shen Xiao thirty lashes, and locked him in the cold ancestral hall.
afterwards.
They also sent Li to deliver the medicine.
Let her act as a mediator and mediate between the mother and son!
All of this perfectly aligned with the Li family's plan.
The night was deep and all was quiet.
Li personally carried a bowl of carefully prepared healing medicine to the place of confinement at Shenxiao Pass under the pretext of "delivering medicine on behalf of the old lady".
She dismissed the maids who served her and, alone, pushed open Shen Xiao's door.
The candlelight flickered inside the room.
Shen Xiao was lying on the couch with his upper body naked, his back covered in whip marks and bloodstains.
His bronze skin and taut muscle definition exuded a powerful masculine presence in the dim candlelight.
A fiery glint flashed in Li's eyes.
She stepped forward, put down the medicine bowl, and said in a voice so gentle it could melt your heart: "Second Uncle has suffered. Sister-in-law... let me apply the medicine for you."
Shen Xiao stiffened, wanting to refuse, but she pressed down on his shoulder.
The moment those soft, smooth fingertips touched his back, he trembled as if electrocuted.
Li's technique was extremely gentle, with a deliberate teasing quality.
She dipped her fingertips in the cool ointment and slowly and ambiguously applied it to the burning welts.
Her breath brushed against his ear and neck, almost imperceptibly.
Apply to the back.
Li's fingers did not stop, but followed the lines of the muscles and slowly slid forward, lightly caressing his firm chest and feeling his heartbeat suddenly quicken.
"Second Uncle's physique is truly that of a military general..." she breathed softly, her voice carrying a touch of feminine gentleness.
Shen Xiao's breathing was already heavy and labored, his reason teetering on the brink of collapse under the onslaught of lust.
