Chapter 101
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
Yu Linglong didn’t expect Yu Weiwu to be released from prison so quickly .
Yu Weiwu was relieved of his position as a captain guarding the army because he stole a talisman from General Yu and transferred troops without authorization . General Yu was downgraded to the third class for dereliction of duty, from the third rank to the fourth rank .
Such punishment was the best result for the father and son .
When she heard the news, Yu Linglong paused in her hand holding the teacup, then lowered her head and took a sip of tea .
It seemed that the strength of the Gan family really should not be underestimated, and even such a big crime can be lightly exposed .
But was this really the work of the Gan family, or was it Yu Weiwu’s secret plan? Yu Linglong didn’t know .
What she wanted to solve before her was Yu Weiwu, an annoying guy who wanted to kill her .
She knew that even though there was no evidence, Yu Weiwu was convinced that she killed Mu Shi . She hated her . She wanted to kill her immediately . In order to get rid of her, Yu Weiwu even stole a talisman to transfer troops without authorization . Nothing could be done . Yu Linglong knew that there was bound to be a life-and-death struggle between her and Yu Weiwu .
When Ling’er and Xuan Cao heard the news, they both looked worried . Ling’er asked carefully: “Miss, what should we do now?”
Yu Linglong gently put down the teacup, but there was no panic on her face, and said: “Naturally, we’ll make him die . ”
There are many ways to kill, but Yu Linglong still needed to think about how to kill beautifully without leaving a trace .
Ling’er lowered her head nervously . She was young, and she was still a little scared, especially since the person who was going to die this time was still the master of the Yu Mansion .
Glancing at the panicked Xuan Cao and Ling’er, Yu Linglong said indifferently, “What are you afraid of? At this point, either he dies or I die . Of course, we must act first . ”
Ling’er and Xuan Cao exchanged glances . Their minds settled slightly, and they said in unison, “We will definitely help the lady with all our strength . ”
Yu Linglong smiled slightly and looked out the window with a long look: “Last time, he designed a trick . This time, I will give him one too—we’ll give him a taste of his own medicine!”
...
Thanks to General Yu’s bribe to get him out of prison, Yu Weiwu did not suffer too much . He came back to take a bath, ate a full meal, and quickly regained his spirit .
Just thinking that he was a man of dignity, but was framed by a little girl’s design, and was locked in a jail for several days and lost, Yu Weiwu was furious .
He vowed to kill Yu Linglong and get rid of his shame!
Anyway, he didn’t need to check now, so he ordered people to inquire about Yu Linglong’s whereabouts, looking for a good opportunity to kill Yu Linglong in one fell swoop .
The effort paid off, and he soon received some information . Since the death of Lady Yu, Yu Linglong had to go to the ancestral hall to pay homage to the old lady on every seventh day . Seeing that it was still the period of mourning, Yu Weiwu knew that Yu Linglong would definitely go to the ancestral hall to worship the old lady .
This was a rare opportunity . The ancestral hall of the Yu house was in a remote location . It was just a lonely house with no courtyard walls and railings around it . It was much easier to enter than the deep Pinlan Garden . If Yu Weiwu decided to do something here, no matter how big the action was, there was no need to worry about being discovered .
In a blink of an eye, it was two weeks since Lady Yu’s death . On that day, General Yu took his family to worship and closed the door of the ancestral hall, but Yu Weiwu turned back to the ancestral hall after everyone left .
He knew that everyone in the Yu Mansion was terribly afraid of Yu Linglong . To say nothing of killing her, they would avoid her even if they saw her from a distance, so he simply didn’t notify anyone, but only secretly ordered two skilled and nimble trusted servants to set up an ambush in the ancestral hall .
At night, the Yu Mansion gradually calmed down, and a crescent moon hung low in the night sky, casting a cool, dim light on the ground .
Yu Weiwu took the two small servants, hid in the dark ancestral hall, motionlessly looking outside through the window .
Finally, a figure dressed in white came from a distance . Under the moonlight, the figure was graceful, and it was obviously a woman .
Behind her were people who looked like two maids, one tall and one short . Yu Weiwu knew that they should be Xuan Cao and Ling’er .
Yu Weiwu couldn’t help but clenched his saber tightly . Unknowingly, his palms were already full of cold sweat .
As long as Yu Linglong opened the door, he would slash at her . No matter how fast Yu Linglong reacted, she could not dodge this terrific attack!
Yu Weiwu turned his head to look at the dense ebony spirit tablet in the ancestral hall, where Mu Shi’s name was recently added .
The big hand slowly strengthened, squeezing the handle of the knife in his hand . Yu Weiwu’s body was full of revenge, and he was ready for vengeance!
Mother, watch how I avenge you!
Soon, the woman in white had approached the ancestral hall, and the white embroidered shoes lifted up and gently landed on the steps .
One step, two steps . With each step of the woman’s feet, Yu Weiwu stared firmly . The cold sweat on his forehead slipped down, and it was on his eyelashes, and he did not dare to blink .
Finally, the door of the ancestral hall was slowly opened .
The old door panel creaked, which sounded particularly harsh in the silent late night .
As soon as the white-clothed woman stepped into the ancestral hall, Yu Weiwu, who had been standing for a long time, suddenly jumped up . The sharp blade shone coldly in the moonlight and slammed straight on the top of the woman’s head .
As the blade fell, Yu Weiwu gritted his teeth in the darkness: “Die, bitch!”
The woman’s face suddenly lifted . She looked at the knife above her head in panic, and let out a sharp scream .
When Yu Weiwu saw the woman’s face clearly, he couldn’t help being surprised .
Where was this woman Yu Linglong? She turned out to be Xuan Cao!
Yu Weiwu was stunned in place . The knife in his hand remained in an unfallen position, and he didn’t understand what had happened .
What Yu Linglong wanted was this moment . She flashed out from behind Xuan Cao, leaped forward, and the dagger hidden on the inside of her wrist flipped over and hit Yu Weiwu’s throat .
“Don’t move if you want to live!”
Looking at Yu Linglong’s cold face, Yu Weiwu’s eyes were about to burst into flames, but the coldness of the cold from his throat reminded him that he did not dare to act rashly .
The knife in his hand fell to the ground with a crash .
The two young men were very knowledgeable about current affairs . When they saw that the master was restrained, they immediately threw down the knife, thumped, and knelt down on the ground, repeatedly calling for mercy .
Yu Linglong glanced at Ling’er . Ling’er took out the rope, tied up the two young men, gagged their mouths, pushed them to the next room, and then turned back .
Xuan Cao quickly took out a long rope from the basket, and together with Ling’er, tied Yu Weiwu firmly .
Then, the three of them worked together and hoisted Yu Weiwu high .
Yu Weiwu gritted his teeth and said angrily: “Little bitch, what are you going to do?”
Yu Linglong circled him around, obviously satisfied with his appearance at the moment, with a faint smile on her face .
Hearing Yu Weiwu’s cursing, Yu Linglong stopped . She looked at Yu Weiwu without blinking and said with a smile: “You chose such a place to start . Are you afraid of being discovered? It’s as you wished this time . ”
Hearing this, Yu Weiwu couldn’t help cursing inwardly . He thought it was quiet and easy to start, but he didn’t expect that it was him who was planned against .
Yu Weiwu struggled against the rope on his hands, but it was tied too tightly . His hands couldn’t move at all . No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t break away from the rope; he could only swing his body to swing around in the air . It was as clumsy as a heavy bag .
The smile on Yu Linglong’s face gradually disappeared, and the gaze looking at Yu Weiwu became extremely cold: “You chose to do it here because you want your mother to see me die with her own eyes, right?”
The glamorous face slowly approached him, uttering cold words, like a voice from hell, and his ears shivered .
“It’s a pity that she will see how her son died!”
Yu Weiwu couldn’t help shivering . With a change of heart, he immediately shouted stiffly: “Yu Linglong, you can’t kill me here! Otherwise, someone will kill you tomorrow!”
This was the ancestral hall of the Yu Mansion . If Yu Weiwu died here, how could General Yu give up? He would find out the reason and avenge him!
Even if General Yu had no evidence to prove that Mu Shi died at Yu Linglong’s hands, what if Yu Weiwu died too? She killed his wife first, then his son . Even if General Yu was afraid of Yu Linglong, he won’t keep this bastard daughter!
Yu Weiwu firmly believed that Yu Linglong must not dare to kill him!
There was a sarcasm in the darkness, and Yu Linglong walked slowly to the bright spot . In the moonlight, her face was cold: “I still killed your mom in her bedroom, so what can you do?”
Speaking of Mu Shi’s death, Yu Weiwu’s face was suddenly full of grief and anger: “You bitch, you really killed my mother!”
Yu Linglong smiled coldly: “Yes, before she died, she knelt on the ground and begged me for mercy, asking me to spare her life—”
Yu Weiwu couldn’t listen anymore . His tall body was writhing frantically in the air, and he wailed like a trapped beast: “Bitch, you can’t kill me!”
With bloodshot eyes staring at Yu Linglong, his twisted face was full of hideous expressions, and Yu Weiwu roared: “Bitch, if you dare to kill me, someone will want to kill you!”
Yu Linglong snorted coldly, stretched out her bare hand, and Ling’er behind her immediately handed a whip .
The whip in her hand trembled and made a chilling pop . Yu Linglong’s mouth was sneered and said: “You shouldn’t have forgotten . What is the family law of the Yu house?”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse . com]
Looking at the very familiar whip in Yu Linglong’s hand, Yu Weiwu’s heart suddenly brightened . He had just stolen General Yu’s talisman, and because of this, General Yu was downgraded to the third class . With General Yu’s temper, he would definitely be furious at him . It was also common to use the family law to flog him, in case a wrong hand accidentally beat him to death...
Yu Linglong not only wanted to whip him to death but also put the crime of murder on General Yu’s head!
No matter how courageous he was, Yu Weiwu couldn’t help but change his face at this moment . He gritted his teeth and screamed: “You snake-and-scorpion bitch!”
Yu Linglong smiled slightly and said coldly: “Don’t worry, even if the father killed his son, it would be enough to say that he was rebellious and unfilial . As for Yu Peng, I still want to keep him!”
That old Yu Peng! She wouldn’t let him die so easily!
Yu Weiwu hung in the air with foul language and constant curses . Yu Linglong was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and with a trembling wrist, she thrashed the whip straight at Yu Weiwu with a sharp howl!
The whip snapped, and a bloodstain immediately appeared where it passed . Yu Weiwu’s cursing stopped abruptly halfway, turning into a scream!
Before the scream was over, the second whip and the third whip came one after another . After a few whips, Yu Weiwu’s hair had been beaten and scattered, and the pieces of clothes on his body were shattered!
The scars deepened one after another, the muscles slowly became red and swollen, and his flesh finally went flying!
The cold air was filled with the smell of blood . Drops of flesh and blood splashed in the air, and the tip of the whip was dripping with blood .
Yu Weiwu, who had just cursed loudly, had already lowered his voice, and the foul language had turned into involuntary wailing and begging for mercy . Unfortunately, Yu Linglong treated his words as air . Yu Linglong’s force did not go down in the slightest; on the contrary, she got faster and faster .
Finally, after the last whip came down, Yu Weiwu didn’t even have the strength to scream, and the head that was just held high fell deeply on his chest and didn’t move .
Looking at Yu Weiwu, who was dying, Yu Linglong said coldly: “I’ll see you off now, to reunite with your mother!”
The heavy whip was lifted high, and it was about to fall, but there was a sudden knock on the door outside the ancestral hall .
Xuan Cao and Ling’er looked at each other in surprise . Who was coming to the ancestral hall at this late hour?
As if to answer their questions, a crying female voice rang with the knock on the door .
“Fourth Sister, it’s your sister-in-law, please, please open the door!”
Jiang Yuezhen? Why was she here?
Yu Linglong frowned slightly and nodded to Xuan Cao, who stepped forward and opened the door of the room .
Jiang Yuezhen almost rushed into the ancestral hall . Her hair was messy, she had no hairpins on her head, and she was only wearing a moon-white shirt . Obviously, she had just learned the news and hurried over .
When Jiang Yuezhen saw the bloody Yu Weiwu, Jiang Yuezhen’s feet softened and she almost collapsed . She stumbled to Yu Weiwu and couldn’t help crying bitterly when she saw him look like he didn’t know his life or death .
When Yu Linglong saw Jiang Yuezhen, she immediately turned her gaze to Ling’er . Ling’er was shocked, and immediately ran to the next room, and returned back in a blink of an eye, with an annoyed expression of self-blame .
It can be seen that the two young men should have escaped and reported to Jiang Yuezhen .
Jiang Yuezhen wiped her tears, then turned around and knelt down to Yu Linglong, and said in a sad voice: “Fourth Sister, I beg you, let him go!”
Yu Linglong looked down at her condescendingly, and said coldly, “Why?”
Yu Weiwu tried to kill her several times, why should she let him go? It was just Jiang Yuezhen, what right did she have to beg her like this?
Jiang Yuezhen bit her lip tightly and hesitated for a while before she said: “Fourth Sister, it’s true that the uncle wants to kill you, but he also wants to avenge his mother . Although no one in this house dares to say it, who doesn’t know that you killed her? I beg you, for the sake of his filial piety, forgive him this time! I promise, he won’t dare to harm you in the future!”
Yu Linglong picked up the corner of her lips and snorted coldly: “He wants to avenge his mother? Then, ask him, why didn’t he avenge his grandmother? Ask him, by whose hands did the old lady die!?”
Jiang Yuezhen’s face suddenly turned pale . Her lips trembled as if she was experiencing a huge struggle in her heart . After a long while, she finally said: “Fourth Sister, the old lady was poisoned by the Lady . He doesn’t know about this, but I know . I have never dared to say it...Fourth Sister, this is all my fault . If you want to punish someone, punish me!”
When Yu Linglong heard this, she was immediately furious: “Did you know that the old lady was poisoned?”
Seeing Yu Linglong’s angry face, Jiang Yuezhen shivered with fright and lowered her head deeply: “Yes . I saw that there was something poisonous in the porridge that the lady gave to the old lady... . but I didn’t dare say it, I didn’t dare!”
On one side was the mother-in-law and the other was the grandmother-in-law . She was a bride who had just married into the Yu house . Who did she dare offend?
Yu Linglong was very angry and smiled: “Right, how did I forget? You are the daughter of the court physician, a member of the Jiang family, so naturally you are extremely medicinal . ”
She always thought that it was Concubine Dong’s negligence that gave Mu Shi a chance, but now she knew that someone had known that Mu Shi had poisoned Lady Yu, but they watched as Lady was poisoned to death, and didn’t say a word!
Jiang Yuezhen didn’t do anything, but the death of Lady Yu had an inexcusable responsibility on her! What was the difference between her behavior and helping the abuser!
Her rage was hard to suppress . Yu Linglong raised the whip in her hand and drew it at the couple fiercely!
“If you wish to accompany him to death, I will fulfill your wish!”
The fierce whip, carrying a flame of revenge, fell heavily on Jiang Yuezhen’s body . Jiang Yuezhen had no time to dodge, and a long bloodstain appeared in the moon-white coat .
Jiang Yuezhen couldn’t help but exhale in pain . After subconsciously avoiding it, she walked on her knees to meet Yu Linglong again, crying: “Fourth Sister, if you want to fight, just kill me, as long as you let my husband...”
Looking at Jiang Yuezhen’s pale face, Yu Linglong somehow suddenly remembered that when they first met, Jiang Yuezhen was wearing a bright red wedding dress outside Jingshan Hall, giving her a gentle and kind smile .
And at this moment, the once so gentle and amiable woman crawled under her feet, begging her to forgive her husband .
The whip in Yu Linglong’s hand slowly dropped, and she said coldly: “He is ruthless to you . Why are you protecting him so desperately?”
Yu Linglong had long heard that Yu Weiwu embarrassed her in front of everyone in front of Mu Shi’s coffin . She also knew how much Yu Weiwu was suspicious of her when she was fighting for power .
She couldn’t imagine how such a man would make Jiang Yuezhen give herself so wholeheartedly, even at the mercy of his life .
Jiang Yuezhen was shocked for a moment, and tears slowly slid down, dripping weakly to the ground .
“Because...he is my husband . ”
Looking at Jiang Yuezhen’s teary face, Yu Linglong suddenly thought of herself in her previous life .
Once, she did desperately protect a man, and she was willing to give everything for a man, but in the end, what did she get?
There were too many women like Jiang Yuezhen in this world, believing in someone blindly, paying for someone blindly, without asking for anything in return . Perhaps what they enjoyed was the satisfaction that this kind of effort brought, and they didn’t ask to be treated the same .
Was this stupid or great?
Yu Linglong raised her eyes to look at Yu Weiwu, who was hanging motionless in the air . The fierce whipping made it hard to tell whether he was dead or alive at the moment . There was no complete muscle in the whole body, and some places even showed thick bones .
Such a person would at least be disabled if he did not die .
The whip in Yu Linglong’s hand was tightened but loosened in a moment .
She turned around and walked out without saying a word . Xuan Cao and Ling’er quickly followed .
In the dark ancestral hall, Jiang Yuezhen knelt on the spot in a daze . It took a while to recover . She quickly got up and ran towards Yu Weiwu: “Master, wake up soon—”
Outside the room, Ling’er looked back at Jiang Yuezhen’s figure and asked Yu Linglong with a puzzled look: “Miss, did you just let them go like this?”
Yu Linglong paused . She looked at the waning moon in the sky, and said softly: “Don’t worry about her, she will die of sadness sooner or later . ”
Xuan Cao and Ling’er looked at each other . No one could know why the young lady’s voice was so heavy .
...
Although Jiang Yuezhen rescued Yu Weiwu from Yu Linglong, Yu Weiwu did not have such good luck . Even though he invited the best doctor to treat him and used the best medicine, Yu Weiwu never woke up .
Five days later, Yu Weiwu, who was unconscious, finally died .
Less than three months after Jiang Yuezhen got married, her husband passed away and she became a young widow .
Perhaps it was because of the fear of Yu Linglong, or the pain of losing her husband, but after Yu Weiwu’s death, after she had taken care of the funeral, she refused to stay in the Yu house for even a day and returned to the Jiang house .
The successive funerals have messed General Yu up, and he had no intention of caring about the whereabouts of his daughter-in-law .
On the night that Yu Weiwu was beaten, he drank some wine and didn’t know what was going on . When he woke up, he slept all night in a deserted courtyard in the Yu house .
No one knew why he was there . Even General Yu himself did not remember what he did after drinking . In addition, Yu Weiwu happened to be whipped to death this night, and the servants of the Yu House secretly started a rumor that it must have been because General Yu became mad after drinking and used a whip to teach his son a lesson, but he actually beat Yu Weiwu to death .
Even General Yu himself was not sure if he did it himself . Subconsciously, he had resentment towards this son, resenting him for coercing himself with the forces of the Mu House, resenting him for insubordination, resenting him stealing the soldier talisman caused him to drop to the third grade...
With his temper, it was entirely possible to kill Yu Weiwu after drinking, but was he really the one who killed Yu Weiwu?
He didn’t dare to believe it, but he didn’t dare not believe it . Amidst the many doubts, he naturally didn’t dare to report it to the officials, and Yu Weiwu’s death was nothing .
Not long after Yu Weiwu died, Yu Weide resigned from General Yu to study away from home . General Yu was a crude person . He didn’t even know what “study away from home” was . He only knew that it was an elegant thing that scholars often did . The mansion was in troubled times, so she happily agreed and asked Concubine Mei to give Yu Weide a sum of money, so that the 15-year-old boy left home .
Upon learning the news, Yu Linglong just nodded without commenting .
In the Yu house, perhaps only this Yu Weide was a wise man, who saw things transparently and never fought with others . But from Lady Yu’s death to Mu Shi’s death, to Yu Weiwu’s death, Yu Weide may be the first person to faintly feel that the future of the Yu house was worrying .
He should know that he couldn’t change it by himself, so he chose to protect himself and left the Yu house .
