Chapter 1009: Uncle and Sister-in-law’s Murder of the Original Wife (1)
"Yue, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky and seeing things you shouldn't have seen. If you had stayed in the yard quietly, you could have lived a few more years. Who made you see us? So, go to hell!" A sinister voice sounded in Shi Chu's ears.
Shi Chu had just entered this body and hadn't opened her eyes when she realized that her neck was tightly tied with a rope. She could hardly breathe. She held the rope tightly around her neck with both hands and struggled desperately. However, the man behind her was very strong. Her face was grim and she was about to give up...
"Hongyi, please be quick. It would be bad if she struggles and makes a sound, attracting other people's attention." A clear and pleasant female voice suddenly reminded from not far away.
When Shi Chu heard this, how could she not understand that this couple was killing people? Fortunately, she had traveled through time and did not have to be as unlucky as the original owner and be killed by these two people.
She grabbed the rope with both hands and pulled it hard, and the rope broke. The man behind her couldn't resist the inertia because he used too much force and fell backwards. The woman next to her saw this and exclaimed, "What's wrong with you?" and then hurried over to check.
Shi Chu instantly kicked the ground with his legs, stood up, picked up the rope in a flash, and took the opportunity to strangle the man's neck. The woman widened her eyes in shock and wanted to scream, but Shi Chu was faster. She freed one hand and hit her on the back of the neck, and she fainted instantly.
After temporarily dealing with the troublesome woman, Shi Chu focused on dealing with the man. Just now, the man was trying to strangle her with a rope, but in the blink of an eye, their situations were reversed and it was Shi Chu who strangled him.
The man obviously had never expected things to turn out like this. He tightly grasped the rope around his neck, looked at Shi Chu with pleading eyes, and squeezed out a sentence with difficulty from his throat: "Don't... don't kill... me... I... was wrong..."
Shi Chu sneered. When his life was in danger, he knew he was wrong, but he showed no mercy when he killed the original owner just now.
The man struggled desperately for a long time, but Shi Chu did not hesitate at all and used force with his hands. Soon the man was strangled to the point of rolling his eyes. His hands loosened and he was completely dead.
After getting rid of the man, Shi Chu immediately strangled the unconscious woman. The woman went to hell with her lover without making a sound.
Looking at the two corpses in front of him, Shi Chu directly found a similar rope from his own space and hung the two corpses on the beams with the rope, making the illusion of hanging. He quickly found pen and ink, and imitated the man's notes to write a "suicide note". The content was that the two of them loved each other deeply before marriage, but unfortunately they could not be together due to family reasons, and they became uncle and sister-in-law by mistake. However, the change of identity could not separate their passionate love. They could not help but start meeting secretly behind their partners' backs. However, they knew that this was an unethical relationship that could not be tolerated by the world. Because of guilt and despair of love, they decided to commit suicide together, hoping to be a couple in the next life. Although they felt sorry for their families, they really could not continue to maintain such a painful relationship, and hoped to gain everyone's understanding...
After forging the suicide note, Shi Chu erased all traces of her and used some drugs to change the tear marks on the man and woman's necks, making them appear to be signs of suicide rather than strangulation. She did all this last night and then left the room quietly.
Actually, she was able to delay for so long thanks to the good place chosen by these two people.
This place is a small inn at the foot of a mountain adjacent to the Huguo Temple. Because it is located at the foot of the mountain, many people pass by without arousing suspicion. Also, because this inn is too small and the environment is simple, it cannot compare with the better large inns around it. Only ordinary people choose to stay here.
That is why the adulterous couple chose this small inn as the place for their secret meeting. After all, no high-ranking official would be able to recognize them unless they were present.
Shi Chu moved away from the inn and found a remote and deserted place, and then he began to receive the original owner's memories.
The original owner was named Yue Shichu. She had been married to Zou Hongyi, the second son of the declining Yong'an Marquisate for only half a year, but she suddenly discovered that her husband was having an affair with his sister-in-law!
That day, she became suspicious because she knew that her husband and sister-in-law went out one after another, so she secretly followed her husband to this small inn. Unexpectedly, she caught him in the act.
Zou Hongyi and his sister-in-law Murong Liu were caught having an affair and were in a panic. In desperation, Zou Hongyi started fighting with the original owner. When he was about to attract other people's attention, Zou Hongyi impulsively strangled the original owner.
If Shi Chu had not traveled through time, then the original owner was indeed strangled to death by Zou Hongyi. After all, if the original owner told others about their affair, they would be disgraced and their reputations would be ruined, with the world and their families looking at them with contempt and disgust...
This was something they could never accept, so they decided to go all out and kill the original owner to silence him. After returning, they slandered the original owner, accusing him of eloping with someone. As a result, Zou Hongyi became the person who was sympathized with, while the original owner became the person who was despised.
Zou Hongyi and Murong Liu are the male and female protagonists of this world. They had already developed feelings for each other before they got married. Zou Hongyi even thought about marrying Murong Liu. However, Murong Liu came from a humble family and her father was only a seventh-rank official. She was not a match for Zou Hongyi at all.
Even though Zou Hongyi was only the second son of a declining baronial family, he was from a noble family after all, and might rise again someday. Moreover, precisely because his baronial family had begun to decline, his marriage had to be treated more seriously. His family hoped that he could marry a wife with a noble family background who could bring him support, and it was even more impossible for them to agree to him marrying the daughter of a seventh-rank official. Therefore, the relationship between Zou Hongyi and Murong Liu was strangled before they could even express it.
Zou Hongyi has an older brother named Zou Hongxin, but Zou Hongxin has had poor health since childhood and needs to stay in bed for almost half a year out of the year. Therefore, by chance, he found Murong Liu to be his wife for good fortune.
The Zou family did not know that Zou Hongyi and Murong Liu had a relationship before, they just felt that Murong Liu had a humble background and a gentle and considerate personality, and that she was a very qualified wife to marry her eldest son.
After Zou Hongxin got married, the Zou family carefully selected a wife for Zou Hongyi, whose father was an important official in the court, in the hope of getting a promotion from the original owner's family.
Unfortunately, Zou Hongyi did not cherish the original owner after marrying her. Instead, he thought that the original owner was the culprit why he and Murong Liu could not be together, so he treated her extremely coldly.
