The Incense Monopoly Order

Chapter 25: Evil people have their own trials and tribulations

This was a trap that Shang Mingshu carefully set up for Shi Qingyu.

If Shi Qingyu had not come to Fuqiu Temple, Shang Mingshu would have planned to teach Shi Guangchao a lesson and vent Shang Zishu's anger.

Shi Qingyu came and saw through Shang Mingshu's intention to teach Shi Guangchao a lesson. Shi Qingyu would not miss this opportunity. She hated Shi Guangchao and was jealous of Shang Mingshu and her sisters.

Earlier, Shang Zishu had a conflict with them in the Taoist temple, and Shi Qingyu was narrow-minded and would feel even more resentful.

Even though Shi Qingyu was smart enough to know that Shang Mingshu might be setting a trap for her, she was still unwilling to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

What if?
If she could kill two birds with one stone and get rid of three annoying people at once, she would wake up laughing in her dreams!
So she joined the game, but jealousy did not completely destroy her rationality, and she left herself a way to get out of it safely.

It would be best if Luo Jin could bring down Shang Mingshu and her sister, but it doesn't matter if he can't. It is wishful thinking for Shang Mingshu to follow the clues and pull her out.

"Just let her go like this?" Shang Zishu was unwilling.

Shang Mingshu gently patted her sister's hand: "She won't have an easy time. Evildoers will be punished by their own evildoers."

At the old house of the Shi family, Shi Houqiong came back angrily with his wife and children, handed them over to his trusted housekeeper, went straight to Shi Qingyu's boudoir, ordered the servants to leave, and slapped Shi Qingyu in the face.

Shi Qingyu fell to the ground and lay on the stool. He covered his burning face and looked up at his tall father, his eyes full of stubbornness and paranoia.

"Rebellious girl! Who gave you the courage to murder your brother!" Shi Houqiong wished she could eat this evil girl alive.

At this point, is there anything Shi Houqiong still confused about?
He ordered his servants to commit murder and gave them poison bags commonly used by Japanese pirates. All of them were directed at his family members.

Thinking of the poison sac, Shi Houqiong leaned over and grabbed Shi Qingyu's neck: "Where did you get the poison sac?"

Shi Qingyu was strangled to the point of having difficulty breathing, her delicate cheeks flushed red. She grabbed Shi Houqiong and pinched her wrist, her eyes filled with hatred as she stared at Shi Houqiong without a second thought: "Dad, if I die... the entire Shi family will be buried with me..."

Shi Houqiong gritted his teeth and used a little more force with his hands. Shi Qingyu couldn't make a sound, but she didn't cry or beg for mercy. She just looked at him steadily.

Shi Qingyu's eyes rolled back, and Shi Houqiong pushed her away. Shi Qingyu's forehead hit the wooden table with her vision going black. The pain gradually made her sober. She coughed hard and gasped for breath, even though the air she inhaled into her lungs passed through her injured throat like swallowing a razor blade.

"Hehe..." Shi Qingyu sneered, coughing as she covered her chest with her hands, her eyes challenging, "Dad, why don't you do it? You're so afraid of death, how can you accomplish anything great? If I were your father, I would kill you. Who knows if I'm just deceiving you?"

After being threatened and then ridiculed, Shi Houqiong raised her hands.

Shi Qingyu fearlessly raised the unswollen side of her face to meet him, with fearlessness in her eyes.

Shi Houqiong raised his hand high, but did not lower it: "Are you crazy?"

"Yeah, I'm crazy, I've been crazy for a long time!" Shi Qingyu laughed wildly, and her throat hurt even more, but she felt happy in her heart. "If Dad doesn't kill me today, don't mess with me in the future. Take care of your two precious sons, and don't mess with me, otherwise I will drag all of you to hell with me!"

"You..." Shi Houqiong pointed at the frantic Shi Qingyu, shaking with anger, and finally shouted, "Come here, drag her to the ancestral hall and make her kneel. No one is allowed to bring her food!"

He still had a lot of things to do and didn't have time to argue with her right now.

Shi Qingyu watched Shi Houqiong walk away in a huff. She was carried to the ancestral hall by the guards. Facing the tablets of the Shi family's ancestors, she twitched a sarcastic smile at the corner of her lips: "Bad luck."

The ancestors of the Shi family probably thought she was unlucky, and she also thought these dead people were unlucky.

Sometimes she really wanted to burn the place down without caring about anything, but she was afraid of death...

Why do you want to live when you live such a humble life?
Putting her hand on her swollen cheek, Shi Qingyu despised herself: "You are so cheap." Sitting down in a comfortable position, Shi Qingyu hugged herself tightly. Soon, hurried footsteps were heard. Shi Guangchao came over with a few people with a ferocious look. She was not surprised at all.

Shi Guangchao sat on the chair and stared coldly at Shi Qingyu: "You bitch, how have I wronged you? You actually want to kill me!"

Shi Qingyu straightened the wrinkles of his sleeves and spoke slowly, "Do I need a reason to want you dead?"

"Hit him, hit him hard, just leave him with a breath!" Shi Guangchao shouted angrily.

"How dare you!" Shi Qingyu said hoarsely, "Tomorrow morning, the commander will come to propose marriage. If you dare to touch me today, I will repay you a hundredfold tomorrow!"

The army of Huizhou Prefecture belongs to Xin'an Guard, which is led by a third-rank commander. The third-rank commander assists the commander in commanding the entire 6,000-strong Xin'an Guard. The prefect will also be courteous when meeting them.

Shi Guangchao was shocked, and Shi Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

But she underestimated Shi Guangchao's stupidity and viciousness. The person she never took seriously wanted to kill him and now threatened him!

Shi Guangchao's face was grim: "Commanding the Tongzhi? Do you think I can't do anything to you just because you've climbed up the ladder?"

His gloomy gaze fell on his trusted guard: "My sister is delicate and tender, and I will give her to you today!"

Turning to meet Shi Qingyu's incredulous gaze, he laughed heartily: "I want to see if the Commander-in-Chief wants a withered and broken body like you!"

Shi Qingyu suddenly stepped back.

"Why are you still standing there? I'll take responsibility for everything. Drag the man to the side hall!" Shi Guangchao scolded the hesitant guard.

Shi Qingyu didn't care about anything else. She pounced on the tablets one by one, grabbed them and threw them at the burly man with a lustful look on his face. Knowing that today would not end well, she grabbed the candlestick, pulled out the candle, and pointed the sharp end like a hairpin at herself.

"Shi Guangchao, even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!"

The candlestick pierced his body. Shi Qingyu pulled it out, blood splattered out, and Shi Guangchao's face was dotted with red plum blossoms...

"Shi Qingyu was injured and unconscious?" Shang Mingshu received the news the next day, and her brows slightly furrowed.

"Japanese pirates broke into the Shi family last night. Mrs. Shi blocked a sword for her eldest brother and was seriously injured." Hemu told the news he had heard truthfully.

"Shi Qingyu blocked the sword for Shi Guangchao?" Shang Mingshu laughed when she heard it.

Shi Guangchao should be thankful that Shi Qingyu didn't use him as a shield. What kind of sweet dreams are he dreaming about?
Shang Mingshu thought for a moment and then understood: "I'm afraid Shi Qingyu's sword attack was caused by Shi Guangchao."

"What a pity. This morning, the commander-in-chief sent an official matchmaker to ask for Madam Shi's remarriage. Madam Shi was seriously injured, so the marriage fell through..." Hemu shook his head and sighed.

"I heard that the commander-in-chief is over 40 years old..." He Mai suspected that he was mistaken and blinked at his sister and brother.

"These right and wrongs should not be discussed casually." Shang Mingshu instructed He Mai.

She did not despise Shi Qingyu for looking for her husband, but was more concerned about whether Shi Houqiong would be furious when she found out about this.

He dreams of marrying his daughter off to a wealthy family.
