It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 650: Every Family Has Its Own Difficulties

Everyone looked over and saw that the two men kicked away by Liu Yao were Li Xiuying's father and the other was a tie. The two men were obviously seriously injured and lay on the ground, groaning.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiuying also wanted to struggle over, but she was no longer strong enough and even felt dizzy and passed out.

Li Xiuying's mother watched her daughter fall down and her son's face turn pale, looking like he was about to die. Her husband was not far away, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood... She shouted, "I killed him! I really killed him!"

"Ah, it seems that you still didn't tell the truth." Yang Xianrong shook her head with some resentment and walked back to Liu Cong's side, "Your Majesty, you ask, I can't do it."

"Do you suspect that Li Xiuying's father committed the murder?" Liu Cong narrowed his eyes and quickly calculated the matter in his mind.

"Actually, if the reason for killing someone is legitimate, can the murderer be exempted from the death penalty?" Yang Xianrong asked again.

"Of course." Liu Cong nodded.

"So, who killed him? I'll ask you one last time. If you don't tell me, then we'll kill them all, no matter if it's unfair or not." Yang Xianrong raised her voice so that everyone present could hear her.

"It's me!" This time, Li Xiuying's father and brother said in unison.

"Tell me, why did you kill someone?" Yang Xianrong breathed a sigh of relief. It was really exhausting for her to pretend like this. She didn't care that Liu Cong was in front of her and found a chair to sit down.

This is truly a tragedy.

Li Xiuying's parents listened to her mother-in-law and thought it was a good idea to marry their daughter to him. But they didn't expect that just one year after the marriage, Mou Huaizhong would beat their daughter, and every time he hit her, he hit her hard. He suspected that Li Xiuying and Shuanzhu had an affair. After all, the two were of similar age and could often talk to each other.

In particular, Li Xiuying's younger brother also liked Shuanzhu very much. When he came to the inn to visit his sister, he worked with Shuanzhu and they had a very good relationship.

After a few interactions, Mou Huai began to feel resentful.

After that, it was said that Li Xiuying stole money from the counter to support her mother's family and buy food for her younger brother.

Although the fight was serious, the two still managed to live together. If the fight was serious, Li Xiuying would go back to her parents' home for a few days, and then come back to continue living with Mou Huaizhong.

Later, when she became pregnant, Mou Huaizhong's attitude improved a lot.

But it was because her younger brother Li Xiuyan came to her and said that he also had a small business and asked if he could give her some money. Mou Huaizhong heard this and the two started arguing again. Mou Huaizhong got angry and pushed her. It was so coincidental that Li Xiuying had a miscarriage.

When her mother's family came over to see what was going on, Li Xiuying's mother cried miserably, because she knew very well that if her daughter was unable to have children, she would not be able to stay in Mou's arms for long.

Li Xiuying's father and brother were so angry that they wanted to find Mou Huaizhong to argue with him. But these two people were no match for Mou Huaizhong and were pushed out of the backyard of the inn.

All of this was seen by the owner of the chain, who was furious. Li Xiuying lay quietly for a few days and told Mou Huaizhong that she wanted to go back to her parents' home to recuperate. Mou Huaizhong ignored her. The business of the inn was good these days. The war had stopped, and everyone was willing to go out for a walk. So he just responded and continued to be busy.

After staying at her parents' house for a few days, she recovered a lot. Li Xiuying thought that she couldn't live like this any longer. Even if she wanted to divorce or be divorced, she had to pack up some valuable things first.

Naturally, her mother would not let her go, so she asked her brother Li Xiuyan to quietly go to the inn to pack up. After the brother went out, he met his father. The father was worried about his son, so he followed him into the inn through the back door. Just as the two were packing up, Mou Huaizhong came back to the house to get something after cooking a half-cooked meal. When he saw his brother rummaging around in the house, he was so angry that he wanted to swing the kitchen knife at him.

How could the father standing in the dark watch his son suffer? Without thinking, he picked up the candlestick in the room, pulled out the candle, and stabbed the back of Mou Huaizhong's neck with the sharpest chisel.

Mou Huaizhong didn't even have time to react, he died on the spot without even a sound.

The father and son were also panicked, not knowing what to do. After staying in the house for half a day, they thought that this matter must not be discovered by others, and they must find a way to get themselves out of this situation.

So, they worked together to stuff Mou's body into the cabinet and locked it, then quietly left the inn and returned home.

After returning home, Li Xiuying was still in a coma and her sister was taking care of her.

The father and son took Li Xiuying's mother out of the house and found a place to tell her about the incident. Li's mother was immediately terrified and had no idea what to do.

Father Li thought about it and decided to let Li Xiuying go back the next day. Then, he would see what happened and decide what to do.

But unexpectedly, Li Xiuying's health deteriorated a lot, and she even had lochia. Scared, Li's mother hurriedly found a doctor to see a doctor. This delayed for three days. Li's father was worried that if Mou Huaizhong didn't show up, it would arouse everyone's suspicion. So he quietly went to the inn at night.

He happened to see Xie An staying in the inn, and got angry when he saw him wearing official armor. Because of the chaotic times, it became extremely difficult for him to make a living, and his family was penniless, so he had no choice but to let his daughter marry him.

He thought he could get some help from his son-in-law, but he didn't expect that the son-in-law would give him nothing and even insult his daughter... The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He decided to go all out and simply dragged the body from Mou's arms over at night, creating the illusion that Xie An had killed someone.

In fact, there were many flaws, for example, the cabinet where Mou Huaizhong hid the body had already given off a foul smell and blood had flowed out. However, no one in Chang'an Prefecture searched this room. Because he asked his family to send the comatose Li Xiuying back and put her in this room, the government officials did not want to disturb a woman in a very bad condition, so this room was not paid attention to.

Seeing Xie An sentenced to death, he felt a little bit sorry. But seeing his daughter become like this, after Mou Huaizhong died, the inn would also belong to his daughter. If his daughter died, the inn would become his, and he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life... He was shocked by his series of thoughts and even wanted to laugh.

If someone hadn't cried out for justice and reported the matter to the emperor, he would have secretly prepared to take over the inn.

Li's mother and brother Li Xiuyan were extremely panicked, but they dared not speak, not even to Li Xiuying and her sister. They just came to the inn often to watch and see how the case was being re-examined.

When they learned that their mother-in-law had been chatting alone with Yang Xianrong for two consecutive days, they were afraid that her mother-in-law would say something. After all, her mother-in-law knew a lot about their past and relationship. If someone made any connection, they would suspect them.

The update will be very late tomorrow, don’t wait.
