The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 141: She Said It Hurt and Begged Me to Spare Her
He’s father is a businessman and understands that if he doesn’t explain clearly, He Xuran has a thousand ways to deal with them.
He has been tormented during these times, his prisoner’s clothing torn to shreds, and his body clawed repeatedly by Fu Meng, leaving wounds that have long been festering.
He closed his eyes and kowtowed heavily.
"Master, please grant this humble one a swift end."
"I dare not hide anything."
"It’s my son!"
He’s father spoke without hesitation: "He has a gambling addiction, gets drunk after losing money, and every time he drinks himself into a stupor. I’ve beaten and scolded him, but it’s really beyond my control."
"My wife is deeply superstitious of the witch, unable to tolerate Lady Xiao. Hong’er, as her husband, failed in his duties and took his anger out on her. That night, he came home drunk, I had someone prepare some sobering soup, and sent Lady Xiao to take him away."
"Who would have expected, after an incense stick’s time, there was the sound of shouting and the loud crash of porcelain hitting the ground..."
Along with the woman’s mournful wailing and desperate pleas for mercy.
She was screaming.
["Help!"]
She was still screaming.
["No!"]
But who could save her?
He’s father: "Sensing something was wrong, I was about to rush out."
He pointed at Mrs. He: "It was this wicked woman who wouldn’t allow it."
"I... I am also guilty, harboring selfish thoughts. Knowing Lady Xiao was doomed, but I was too troubled by business matters outside, so I tacitly allowed it."
Only when the noise subsided did he go over.
He’s father could hardly bear to recall the scene at that time.
He had dealt with dead bodies before, but never had he seen such a bloody scene.
The smell inside the room was overpowering and nauseating.
Fresh blood splattered everywhere, He Hong’s face was covered in it. With a knife in his hand, still inebriated, his face showed enjoyment and pleasure.
He continued to stab Lady Xiao with heavy blows.
The sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh was subtle, yet in that moment, it magnified several times over.
Lady Xiao was already dead, eyes wide open, refusing to close in death. Inside them, a tint of fright. Her hands still clutched her lower abdomen, indicating she was desperately trying to protect her child before she died.
He’s father: "Her stomach had a long cut, her intestines pulled out, and inside... was a fully formed child."
He had seen it, it was a male fetus.
Yu Tingwan, who had been suppressing his anger, suddenly turned his head: "What did you say?"
These words seemed to squeeze out from between his teeth.
The hand beneath his sleeve began to tremble.
It was unimaginable, the inhuman suffering Lady Xiao must have endured.
A gentle girl like her should have married a considerate husband and lived a peaceful life.
But she was ruined.
For some reason, even though she was just a young girl, He’s father dared not look into her cold, icy eyes.
Mrs. He was also furious. How could she have anticipated that He’s father would say such things?
"Ugh!"
She was gagged, her body bound, and could only crash violently against He’s father.
He’s father coldly slapped her across the face.
"It’s all your fault, you wicked woman! Believing those ghost stories, insisting that Lady Xiao was a curse to her husband’s family."
He Hong’s lips were bleeding, and upon hearing this, he burst into hysterical laughter, his gaze towards He’s father tinged with poison.
"Yes, it was by my hand."
He seemed to savor the memory: "Lady Xiao’s voice was pleasant; she was even more alluring when crying and begging."
He Hong cared about Lady Xiao; otherwise, he wouldn’t have insisted on marrying her. But a passive beauty, day in and day out, became tiresome to look at.
But Lady Xiao had her merits too, serving him cautiously, never asking about his matters, behaving properly. Even when he returned with a scent of makeup, she only dared to wipe her tears in secret.
If he were sober, he wouldn’t have wanted her harmed.
But now that she’s dead, He Hong wouldn’t miss her.
"She said she was in pain, begged me to let her go. She also said she’d never dare mention wanting to visit her parents again. Poor thing, didn’t know how wronged she truly was until her death."
He Hong spat out a mouthful of blood: "That night, the servants at He Family who heard the commotion were all taken away and buried alive by my father’s orders once I sobered up."
"Father, why pretend to be innocent?"
"Even if I hadn’t acted, you had already prepared the poison to give her on an auspicious day."
He Hong smirked.
"You’re eager to throw us under the bus, so that this case can be wrapped up quickly, just scared of something else being uncovered, unable to protect that illegitimate child?"
"Master, the upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is slanted."
He laughed heartily: "My father’s son outside is only a year younger than me. You absolutely cannot let him go."
He’s father was furious.
"You!"
"We are already doomed to die! Is it wrong for me to want to preserve a line, to prevent the He Family from being completely cut off!"
"Hong’er, you are confused!"
He Xuran sneered.
If the Wei Family Army wants to investigate, did they miss anything?
Provoking the sister of a member of the Wei Family Army, it’s no wonder the Wei Family Army would step in.
"Don’t worry, that illegitimate son of yours is already shackled and on his way over."
He Hong was pleased, completely giving up on any cover-ups.
"Whenever there’s been a murder at home, we always invite the witch to perform rituals. My mother was superstitious, afraid that the deceased would crawl back for revenge."
He Hong squinted his eyes, reminiscing.
"But the Witch was always occupied. We didn’t dare move Lady Xiao’s body easily either."
So it dragged on for a day.
Amidst the summer heat, the body began to rot.
This affair somehow got leaked!
The Yu Family sat at the He Family’s doorway, refusing to leave, cursing loudly, drawing an increasingly large crowd of onlookers.
In anger and panic, he grabbed a stick, ready to drive them away.
The Yu Family, however, stiffened their necks.
["If you have the guts to beat me to death in the street today! After all, I’m just a lowly person, determined to feud with you!"]
["Why won’t you let me see Lady Xiao? Is it against the law for a woman’s family to check on their pregnant daughter? What are you guilty about? A nest of snakes and rats, all executioners, incredible, even the County Magistrate is helping to shield! My husband went to the Government Office and was beaten."]
["Alive we see the person, dead we see the corpse!"]
["The County Magistrate is the local tyrant, your He Family is part of the royal family!"]
The He Family ultimately didn’t dare to remain arrogant.
After all, the County Magistrate was already distressed over the death of his young son and had just driven Zhao Yong away. If anything happened to the Yu Family again, they would have been blamed.
Moreover, the Witch hurriedly arrived, took one look, and her face changed, instructing them to send away the body as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it would bring bad luck.
As a result, the Yu Family finally saw Lady Xiao.
But upon seeing Lady Xiao, drained of blood, on the bed, their legs gave way completely.
Whispers from the He Family echoed beside her ears.
Demanding her compliance.
The Yu Family felt only sorrow, but being poor and powerless, besides taking Lady Xiao back, what else could they do?
She asked for needle and thread, her face wet with tears, carefully placing the intestines and the half-exposed umbilical cord back into Lady Xiao’s belly, her hands trembling as she stitched it up, leaving mother and child their final dignity. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
She cried softly: ["Aunt is late, Lady Xiao don’t be afraid. Aunt will take you back, take you home to see your parents."]
The He Family could never close Lady Xiao’s eyes, but with those words from the Yu Family, they closed spontaneously.
