After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 295, Episode 0314: Fu Zhixue

Cui Hongzhi, Fu Zhixue's husband, entered the hospital more than an hour after the doctor had already confirmed Fu Zhixue's death, dressed neatly and calmly.

Putting everything else aside for now, what we've found is enough for Fu Zhiyi to suspect that her sister's death is related to the Cui family.

Fu Zhiyi was young and impulsive at that time.

Knowing this, he couldn't resist the urge to confront Cui Hongzhi.

Then, the Cui family turned around and accused Fu Zhixue, saying that she had been having an affair with a married man and that she was caught in the act by the man's wife. Fu Zhixue felt ashamed and committed suicide by hitting her head against a wall.

With a sorrowful expression mixed with a sense of humiliation, Cui Hongzhi said that he truly loved Fu Zhixue and did not want her to suffer a bad reputation after her death, which is why he did not tell Fu Zhiyi the real cause of Fu Zhixue's death.

He also said that the Cui family was not just his own. Although he loved Fu Zhixue more than his own life, he could not disregard the reputation of the Cui family or affect the other members of the Cui family. That is why he hastily cremated and buried Fu Zhixue.

Aside from the little information he got from a nurse, Fu Zhiyi had no other evidence. In addition, the Cui family was very eloquent, and with everyone chiming in, this simpleton not only got no results but almost drove himself to despair.

This blow made Fu Zhiyi much more composed, realizing that directly confronting the Cui family without concrete evidence was not a wise move.

To seek justice for her sister, in addition to finding out the truth, we also need to find evidence that her sister was murdered.

However, the Cui family was too thorough in their work. Now, almost ten years have passed, and although Fu Zhiyi has investigated the facts to a great extent, there is still no concrete evidence.

It turns out that, like many others, the Cui family also suspected that the Fu family had left behind a lot of money, and that that money was most likely in the hands of Fu Zhiyi, the only one left behind.

When Grandpa Fu and his family left, Fu Zhiyi was just a child. Fu Zhixue was five years older than Fu Zhiyi, already ten years old. Compared to five years old, they felt that ten-year-old Fu Zhixue was more likely to know where the Fu family's property was.

The early death of Fu Zhiyi's father was also related to the Cui family.

It wasn't that the Cui family was directly responsible. The Cui family used insidious methods to scheme against people. Instead of directly pressuring Fu Zhiyi's father, they first used others to humiliate Fu Zhiyi's parents, trying to break their spirit. Then, they would step forward as benefactors to gain their trust.

Little did anyone know that Fu Zhiyi's father was in poor health and had a particularly sensitive and fragile temperament. After being ridiculed for lacking masculinity and being useless, he died of anger.

What she didn't expect was that Fu Zhiyi's mother was that kind of person; she couldn't live on her own after her husband's death and completely disregarded the lives of her two children.

However, it was precisely because the Cui family saw Fu Zhiyi's mother's character and then saw that Fu Zhixue's personality was almost exactly the same as her mother's that they set their sights on Fu Zhixue.

Those who are demoted or sent to the countryside have a hard time, especially since Fu Zhixue is only ten years old and has to take care of her five-year-old brother.

Cui Hongzhi pretended to be unwell and recuperated in that village. He would always appear when Fu Zhixue was bullied and help her drive away the bullies.

When the siblings were hungry, Cui Hongzhi would often offer them help.

Cui Hongzhi would comfort and encourage Fu Zhixue; he would stay by her side when she was sad and when she was sick.

Over time, Fu Zhixue's feelings for Cui Hongzhi gradually transformed from gratitude to liking, and then to deep love.

However, influenced by her mother, Fu Zhixue always kept in mind the traditional female precepts, and she tried to avoid people in the village when interacting with Cui Hongzhi, as well as Fu Zhiyi. Fu Zhiyi had been taken away by Huo Laosi, who happened to be passing by, when she was nine years old, and then went directly to the army. Therefore, Fu Zhiyi only knew Cui Hongzhi and was unaware that her sister had already secretly pledged her life to Cui Hongzhi in the countryside.

Regardless of whether the relationship between Cui Hongzhi and Fu Zhixue was equal or not, the Cui family's purpose in having Cui Hongzhi get close to Fu Zhixue was to obtain the money left by the Fu family.

The Cui family knew more about the Fu family than Fu Zhiyi's family did. Well, that's not surprising, since the Cui and Fu families were considered allies back then.

Therefore, the Cui family knew that the Fu family was so wealthy that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were richer than a country. Old Master Fu and his family left with the last batch of Nationalist soldiers who were withdrawing. Apart from the things they could carry with them, they didn't take any other valuables with them.

There is another secret that no one knows. When the last batch of Nationalist soldiers withdrew, they were in a hurry and did not have time to take a batch of valuables with them. They were given to Old Master Fu to hide.

This batch of valuables reportedly includes hundreds of boxes of large yellow croakers, as well as countless antiques, jade artifacts, and more.

What is Fu Zhixue compared to such a huge fortune?!

Perhaps in the eyes of the Cui family, she was simply the key to unlocking the door to wealth.

After Fu Zhixue and Cui Hongzhi got married, Cui Hongzhi was very attentive to her at first, but this period of time was very short.

Then Cui Hongzhi started getting busy, coming home later and later each day. Every time he came home, he looked exhausted, but he still had to force a smile to comfort and coax his wife.

Meanwhile, other family members would intentionally or unintentionally reveal to Fu Zhixue that she was encountering great difficulties at work, difficulties so great that they might even ruin Cui Hongzhi's reputation.

Then, he used words to put Fu Zhixue down, saying that she, as Cui Hongzhi's wife, was already unqualified to help him, and that Cui Hongzhi should be considerate of her feelings during such a difficult time.

Fu Zhixue is the kind of woman who puts her husband first. Even without being manipulated by others, she already feels that it is her fault for not being able to help her husband. With the intentional or unintentional guidance of her family, she even feels guilty.

So she became like her father, depressed and her health deteriorated day by day.

The Cui family could tell from her reaction that she was not the key to wealth.

“The Cui family originally intended to just leave my sister hanging like that. Anyway, my sister’s personality is just like my mother’s. As long as they put in a little more effort and everyone intentionally or unintentionally suppressed her, my sister could destroy herself.”

If Fu Zhixue were still alive, Fu Zhiyi would be disappointed in her, but Fu Zhixue is dead, killed by the entire Cui family. Although he is dissatisfied with his sister's lack of ambition, he feels more hatred for the Cui family.

"Unfortunately, my sister didn't follow the script they had arranged. She figured it out herself, started to suspect the Cui family, and even asked someone to investigate them."

Little did she know that her every move was being watched by the Cui family, so they could no longer tolerate her.

“That day, my sister was called out of the house by a phone call. The call was from Cui Hongzhi’s workplace. They said that Cui Hongzhi had been injured at work and had been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Because the person who took him to the hospital did not have any money, they asked her to bring money to the hospital immediately.”

Without thinking much, Fu Zhixue hurriedly grabbed the money and left.

However, the car she was in stalled on the road, and coincidentally, she waited for a long time but no car came, so she had to walk to the hospital.

Wanting to get to the hospital as soon as possible, Fu Zhixue planned to take a shortcut through several alleys.
