The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 141 She said she was in pain and asked me to let her go.
He's father was a businessman and knew that if things weren't explained clearly, He Xuran would have a thousand ways to deal with them.

He had suffered even more torment in recent days. The prisoner's clothes were torn, and his body was scratched by Fu Meng's claws, the wounds so severe that they were already oozing pus.

He closed his eyes and kowtowed heavily.

"My lord, please grant this humble subject a swift end."

"This humble citizen dares not conceal anything."

"It's my son!"

Mr. He said without hesitation, "He is a compulsive gambler. When he loses money, he drinks heavily and gets completely drunk every time. I have beaten and scolded him, but I really can't do anything about him."

“My wife is a firm believer in the sorceress and cannot tolerate Xiao Niang. Hong'er, as her husband, has also failed in his duty and is angry about it. That night, he came back drunk, and I had someone make some hangover soup for him, and then I had Xiao Niang take him away.”

"Who would have thought that, just a stick of incense later, we would hear angry shouts and the loud crash of porcelain hitting the ground..."

And the woman's mournful cries and urgent pleas for mercy.

She was shouting.

【"Help."】

She was still shouting.

【"don't want."】

Is there anyone who can save her?

Father He: "When I sensed something was wrong, I tried to rush out."

He pointed at He's mother: "It was this wicked woman who wouldn't allow it."

“I… I, a commoner, was also foolish and had selfish thoughts. I knew that Xiao Niang was likely to die, but I was so worried about my business outside that I acquiesced.”

He waited until the commotion subsided before going over.

Mr. He was somewhat afraid to recall the scene at that time.

He had dealt with deaths before, but he had never seen such a bloody scene.

The smell inside was strong and pungent, making one want to vomit.

Blood was still splattering everywhere, covering He Hong's face. He held a knife in his hand, still drunk, his face showing enjoyment and pleasure.

The knife continued to stab Xiao Niang repeatedly.

The sound of a sharp instrument piercing flesh is small, but it can be magnified many times over in that instant.

Xiao Niang had already stopped breathing, her eyes wide open, filled with fear. Her hand was still pressed against her lower abdomen, showing that she had desperately tried to protect the child before she died.

Mr. He: "Her abdomen was cut open with a long gash, and her intestines were pulled out, as well as... the already formed baby."

He checked, and it's a boy.

Yu Tingwan, who had been suppressing her anger, suddenly turned her head: "What did you say?"

These words seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth.

His hands under his sleeves trembled.

It's hard to imagine how much inhuman torture Xiao Niang endured.

A gentle girl like her should have married a considerate husband and lived a stable life.

It was ruined, of course.

For some reason, even though she was just a young girl, Father He didn't dare to look into her icy eyes.

Mother He's face also showed rage. How could she have imagined that Father He would say such a thing?

"Well!"

Her mouth was gagged and her body was bound, so all she could do was violently ram her body against Father He.

However, her father coldly slapped her across the face.

"It's all your fault, you wicked woman! You believed those lies and insisted that Xiao Niang is a jinx to her husband's family."

Blood was dripping from the corner of He Hong's mouth. Upon hearing this, he suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter, and his gaze toward his father seemed to be laced with poison.

"Yes, I was the one who did it."

He seemed reluctant to leave: "Xiao Niang's voice is beautiful, and she is even more touching when she cries and begs me."

He Hong had cared about Xiao Niang, otherwise he wouldn't have insisted on marrying her. But having a wooden beauty at home all the time would eventually make him tired of her.

However, Xiao Niang also had her good points. She served him carefully and never interfered in his affairs. She was very proper and well-behaved. Even when he returned home smelling of perfume, she only dared to secretly wipe away her tears.

If he were lucid, he wouldn't be able to bear it. But now that the person is dead, He Hong wouldn't miss them.

"She said she was in pain and begged me to let her go. She also said she was wrong and would never dare to say she wanted to go back to her parents' home again. Poor thing, she died without ever knowing how wronged she had been."

He Hong spat out a mouthful of blood: "The servants of the He family who heard the commotion that night were all taken away and buried alive by my father after I regained consciousness."

"Why is Dad pretending to be innocent?"

"Even if I don't lift a finger, you've already prepared arsenic and are ready to find an auspicious day to force it down his throat."

He Hong gave a half-smile.

"Are you in such a hurry to push us out so that this case can be settled on time and we can be executed as soon as possible? Aren't you afraid that if things drag on, something else might be discovered and we won't be able to protect that illegitimate child?"

"Sir, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too."

He was overjoyed: "My father's son outside is only a year younger than me, so we must not let him get away with this."

Father He was furious.

"you!"

"We are doomed! Is it wrong for me to want to preserve a branch of the family and prevent the He family from being completely wiped out?"

"Hong'er, you're being foolish!"

He Xuran sneered.

If Wei's army is going to investigate, how could they possibly miss anything?

It's no wonder that the Wei family army intervened after offending the younger sister of one of the members of the Wei family army.

"Don't worry, your illegitimate son is already in shackles and is being escorted here."

He Hong was smug. He was reckless and made no attempt to hide anything.

“Whenever a murder occurs in the family, we have to hire a shaman to perform a ritual. My mother is superstitious and is afraid that the two children will come up from the underworld to take our lives.”

He Hong squinted, recalling.

"But the sorceress is always busy. We dare not move Xiao Niang's body easily either."

It just dragged on for a day.

It was the height of summer, and the corpses were already rotting.

Unfortunately, word of this matter still got leaked!

Yu sat at the entrance of the He family's house and refused to leave, continuing to hurl insults, which drew in more and more onlookers.

He was furious and grabbed a stick to chase the person away.

But Yu stuck her neck out.

"Go ahead and kill me in the street today if you dare! I'm just a lowly commoner, and I'll fight you to the death!"

["Why won't you let me see Xiaoniang? Do her family think she's broken the law while she's pregnant? What are you so guilty about? You're all a bunch of scoundrels, the whole family are executioners! You're so powerful, even the county magistrate is protecting you! My husband even got beaten up when he went to the yamen."]

"If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body!"

"The county magistrate is like a local emperor, and your He family are all relatives of the emperor!"

The He family ultimately dared not continue their arrogant ways.

After all, the county magistrate was deeply grieving the death of his youngest son and had just intervened to throw Zhao Yong out. If something were to happen to Madam Yu as well, he would likely start to have grievances against them.

In addition, the sorceress rushed over, and after taking a look, her expression changed drastically. She told them to send the body away as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it would be very unlucky.

Therefore, Madam Yu finally met Xiao Niang.

But her legs went completely limp when she saw Xiao Niang lying on the bed, already bleeding to death.

Beside my ear, I heard a warning from the He family.

Tell her to be pragmatic.

Yu felt only sorrow, but she had no money or power, so what could she do besides take Xiao Niang back?

She asked for a needle and thread, her face already wet with tears. She carefully put the intestines and the baby, whose umbilical cord was still partially exposed, back into Xiao Niang's belly, and sewed them up with trembling hands, leaving the mother and child with a final dignity.

With a sob in her voice, she said, "It's because your aunt is late, Xiaoniang, don't be afraid. Your aunt will take you home, take you home to see your parents."

The He family could never satisfy Xiao Niang, but after Yu Shi said those words, they spontaneously closed their eyes.
