When Li Shiyue received the urgent news and rushed back from the Zhenhai Army camp, it was already pitch black.

Li Shiyue, still in her military uniform, stormed into the courtyard where Li Xiatian lived, exuding a chilling aura.

Zheng Meiniang and Li Wangchun, who were waiting in the courtyard, breathed a sigh of relief the moment they saw Li Shiyue.

Time was of the essence, so Zheng Meiniang quickly explained the matter to Li Shiyue under the bright moonlight.

The only change in Li Shiyue's expression was when she heard Zheng Meiniang say, "Xia Tian said that she killed Jiang Huai."

However, nothing else surprised Li Shiyue.

However, when Li Shiyue stepped into the house and saw Jiang Huai lying on the ground, even she, who had experienced many bloody battles, instantly had her pupils shrink and gasped!
It wasn't that the scene was particularly terrifying; after all, such scenes on the battlefield are relatively minor.

Rather, it was Jiang Huai, someone he knew after all.

Li Shiyue truly hadn't expected Li Xiatian to kill Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai's death was indeed a great surprise to Li Shiyue.

Walking to Jiang Huai's body, Li Shiyue squatted down and raised her hand to confirm Jiang Huai's death;

Then her gaze fell on the ornate dagger on Jiang Huai's chest.

At a glance, she recognized it as the dagger she had given to Li Xiatian for self-defense.

Standing up, Li Shiyue saw the papers scattered on the round table in the room;

Stepping forward, she casually picked up a few sheets of paper, examined them against the lamp, and combined this with Zheng Meiniang's tearful account in the courtyard earlier. Li Shiyue immediately pieced together the truth of the whole affair.

At that moment, her heart sank, and an indescribable, complex emotion surged into her heart.

She had already learned of Jiang Huai's betrayal from Jiang Yining and had taken precautions against it.

The information that Jiang Huai was able to spread was all information that Li Shiyue had intentionally leaked to the outside world.

As for her lifestyle habits, they are just habits that everyone has. Even if you know them, what difference does it make?
However, Li Shiyue hadn't expected that Jiang Huijun would ask Jiang Huai to poison her.

Firstly, her eating habits are easily discernible, but she herself has consumed elixirs from the cultivation world and possesses exceptional five senses.
No matter how well-made the poison is, with today's technology, it's impossible to make it colorless and odorless.

Therefore, given her exceptional five senses, it was easy for her to detect poisoned food.

You can't poison her.

Secondly, Jiang Huai might not actually have the guts to poison her.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Jiang Huai was passing messages to Jiang Huijun; Jiang Huai isn't stupid.

Jiang Huai, being as shrewd as he is, wouldn't completely believe the empty promises made by Jiang Huijun.

As for why Jiang Huai kept this bottle of poison?

Jiang Huai must have considered that if things went badly in the future, he might actually take the risk of poisoning her.

In Li Shiyue's plan, although she had long suspected that Jiang Huai had a problem, she had kept quiet because she had to consider Li Xiatian's feelings and the two children, and had been secretly keeping a close watch on Jiang Huai.

Li Shiyue's original plan was that once she had to take action, she would act swiftly and decisively, take control of Jiang Huai, disable his mobility, and then find a pretext to imprison him forever in the backyard.

In this way, she could eliminate the threat of betrayal, protect herself and Jian'an, and also keep Jiang Huai alive.

If Jiang Huai is alive, Li Shiyue can give Li Xiatian an explanation; at the same time, this at least ensures that Pingping and An'an still have a father in name only.

Therefore, in Li Shiyue's plan, she would not kill Jiang Huai.

In this way, Li Xiatian would not have to suffer the pain of losing her husband and the psychological burden.

Li Shiyue even considered what would happen if Li Xiatian softened her heart;

She would let Jiang Huai remain "sick" like a living dead person, with Li Xiatian taking care of him for the rest of his life, and letting Jiang Huai stay with Li Xiatian for the rest of his life.

In this way, the bond between the sisters can be considered complete.

But Li Shiyue had planned everything, but she never expected that the one who would discover the truth first and take such an extreme approach would be Li Xiatian himself!
At this moment, as Li Shiyue looked at the papers and the bottle of poison on the table, her heart ached more and more for Li Xiatian.

At this moment, Li Shiyue even thought—if she had exposed Jiang Huai's true colors earlier and controlled him earlier;

If that's the case, then what happened today wouldn't have happened.
Does this mean Li Xiatian wouldn't have to endure this suffering?

There is no such thing as "if only I had known" or "a cure for regret".

The truth is, Li Xiatian, her elder sister, actually killed Jiang Huai with her own hands!
This was completely beyond Li Shiyue's expectations and imagination!
What exactly happened between Li Xiatian and Jiang Huai?
Li Xiatian, how could she have such resolute courage and ruthlessness?

While heavily pregnant, she personally ended Jiang Huai's life?
"October... What are we going to do now?"

Zheng Meiniang stood in the room, choking back tears, looking completely lost, and asked Li Shiyue.

Li Shiyue quickly suppressed the turmoil in her heart, and her eyes regained their calm and sharpness.

She made a decisive decision: "This matter must not be leaked!"

Mother, Aunt, you must go back immediately, help my sister clean up and change her clothes, and calm her down. You absolutely cannot let her get emotional again!
It would be best to call Doctor Jin and Yue Niang over, so they can be ready at any time.

If we're prepared, my sister could give birth at any time!

At this point, Li Shiyue looked at Jiang Huai lying on the ground, then she looked up at Zheng Meiniang: "Where are Pingping and An'an?"

“It’s not that Xia Tian is sick; it’s already difficult for Jiang Huai to take care of Xia Tian.”
The two children were sent to Qiu Tian's place a long time ago, and Qin Fen is helping to take care of them.

Upon hearing Zheng Meiniang's explanation, Li Shiyue nodded.

"Leave this to me!"

Mother, Aunt, Jiang Huai has passed away suddenly from an illness.

It's too hot to keep his body here. I'll find him a good burial site outside the city!

After watching Li Wangchun and Zheng Meiniang leave, Li Shiyue immediately summoned her absolutely loyal confidants, Sun Xiaoliu and Heizi, who knew what was important.

She whispered to Sun Xiaoliu, "Xiaoliu, immediately seal off this courtyard and don't let anyone else in!"
Go prepare a straw mat. Once we leave the city and reach the mortuary outside the city, we'll buy a coffin.

Also, bring two more buckets of tung oil.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Li Shiyue personally stepped forward, bent down, and pulled out the ornate dagger from Jiang Huai's chest.
