If you don't consummate the marriage for three years and then marry a successful educated youth

The sight of the rotting rat carcass crawling with white maggots was so shocking that Lin Fengjiao staggered back, covering her mouth and gagging repeatedly.

"Ugh, ugh~~~"

The thought of sleeping in a crevice between the headboard and a rotting, dead rat made her stomach churn. She stumbled to the bathroom and vomited everything up.

Lin Fengjiao felt nauseous and her stomach was churning. After calming down, she covered her face to block out the stench of decay and took pliers to deal with the rotting rat carcasses.

After enduring the nausea and getting the thing out, I thought about that crevice and realized it shouldn't have trapped the mouse.

"Something's not right. Even if the rat fell down and got caught, its head or body should be flattened. It shouldn't be like this. Could someone have deliberately thrown this rat down?"

I carefully examined the mouse with the pliers and quickly found a hole in its head, clearly indicating that it had been stabbed to death.

Lin Fengjiao had just arrived in the city and couldn't possibly have made enemies with anyone. The dead rat was clearly placed under her bedside, so it must have been someone she had a grudge against. If it wasn't an outsider, then it must be one of her own.

own people?

After carefully recalling the events, Lin Fengjiao narrowed her eyes, put the dead rat in the cardboard box, closed it, washed her hands, opened the door, and went out to find the twins.

"You stand there, I have something to ask you, and you must tell me the truth."

The twins stood there pretending to be well-behaved, their eyes secretly glancing at her: "Mom, ask away, we'll tell you the truth, we won't lie to you about anything."

Lin Fengjiao took a deep breath: "Fine, I'll ask you if you've put anything dirty in my bridal chamber. If you tell the truth now, I can pretend it never happened."

"I won't tell your father either. If you don't tell the truth, I'll make you pay once I find out."

The twins exchanged a glance, a fleeting moment of guilt crossing their faces, but they quickly regained their composure and said pitifully, "Mother, we really don't know what you're talking about. We didn't do anything."

"Ha, good, very good!"

Lin Fengjiao pointed at them and slammed her finger on the table: "You called me mother? Then I'll teach you some manners and the consequences of lying. Stand up straight!"

The twins opened their mouths to shout when they saw this, but the next second their hands and feet were tied up, a strip of cloth was tied around their mouths and tied to the back of their heads, and after it was tied, they were made to squat down with a shoe.

"Now I'll ask you. You just need to nod or shake your head. If you don't listen, we'll just have to put up with it."

"Now tell me, did you put that dead rat there? You're not going to talk, huh? Fine, I'll let go of whoever is willing to tell the truth."

As Lin Fengjiao spoke, she got up, took out the box, and poured the dead rat not far from them. Looking at the maggots that were still wriggling, she felt a wave of nausea.

"If you're not going to tell the truth, then you can stay here and smell it properly. I don't believe I can't cure you. You're so young, yet you're so vicious. Who taught you to do this?"

"I'm not your enemy, I'm your benefactor. Who would raise their sister-in-law's child for no reason and be treated like this? They have no manners at all."

Slap, slap, slap! Lin Fengjiao took the sole of her shoe and lashed it hard at them.

The two children had gags in their mouths and couldn't speak at all. They stared at the disgusting dead rat and gagged repeatedly.

Lin Fengjiao just watched, and two hours passed before the two little brats finally nodded repeatedly, whimpering and begging for mercy: "Waaah~~"

Removing one of the strips of cloth, Lin Fengjiao looked at the crying baby and said sternly, "Tell me, will you dare to do this again?"

Congcong lay on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably: "We won't do it again, we won't do it again, boohoo, please let us go, Mom, my hands and feet hurt so much."

"Hmph, it would have been better if you had been this obedient from the beginning."

As he spoke, he reached out to untie the rope, when the sound of the door lock turning came. The next second, the door was pushed open, and the two stared at each other in surprise.

Shen Qingshu's gaze swept over the children on the ground. They were bound hand and foot and thrown on the ground, their faces covered in tears and snot. There was also a dead rat not far away, and the stench was overwhelming.

A thought immediately formed in his mind, and his face darkened: "Lin Fengjiao, can you explain to me what's going on?"

People from the courtyard behind them peeked through the crack in the door and immediately saw what was happening in the living room. They clicked their tongues and said, "That's really ruthless. They tied up the two kids and beat them while no one was home."

"These two children are so young. It's pitiful that their mother is gone. No one else will truly care about them."

"Shen, your two children are so pitiful."

Shen Qingshu took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to vomit, and said politely, "Yes, I will handle my family's affairs. You can go ahead and do your work."

He chuckled as he spoke, closed the door, and looked over.

Lin Fengjiao stood up, feeling somewhat guilty: "Qingshu, I didn't mean to do that. I didn't hit them much. I just wanted to teach them a lesson."

"Look at that dead rat, do you know where I found it? I found it in our..."

A slap landed on my face.

A burning pain shot through her face, leaving her mind blank. She gasped for breath, stiffly turning her head to look at him, her eyes wide: "You hit me!"

Why?

Shen Qingshu took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with impatience: "What do you think? You're an adult, abusing children like this. Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation if word gets out? And I never expected you to treat them like this."

"When I started raising them, didn't I ask for your permission? Since you agreed, why don't you treat them well? When I'm not home, you tie them up, don't you?"

"Yes, the kids are a bit naughty, but they're still young. You're an adult, how can you not be more considerate of them?"

This stupid woman is abusing the child like this! He promised his father-in-law that the woman he marries later would take good care of the child. But what if his father-in-law finds out?

He didn't know how he would feel about him in the future. Could he really have gotten that position? He would never allow anyone to ruin his plans.

Lin Fengjiao just kept crying, her lips trembling as she didn't know how to explain. Her mind was blank. She was just too angry and wanted the two children to reflect on their actions.

But I was afraid they would make a scene and attract the neighbors, so I really didn't hit them much.

Shen Qingshu didn't even glance at her, untying the two children's ropes, his eyes filled with heartache: "Congcong, how long have you been tied up like this?"

"I don't know, it's been so long, Dad, my arm hurts, boohoo..."

"It's okay, don't be afraid. Dad will take you to the hospital to get checked out. The pain will go away in a little while."

She carried one child in each arm out the door, leaving only Lin Fengjiao and a rotting dead rat in the living room. The stench of decay and sweetness permeated the living room, but no one paid any attention to it.
