Chapter 543: I’m So Evil
Once one embarks on an official career, the entire family moves up a social class, thus, they cannot be judged by previous standards.
Besides, in the complex world of officialdom, newly minted young officials must tread cautiously so as not to provide any ammunition for personal attacks.
Miss Li lost her dignity by marrying a villager covered in sores, which would inevitably bring shame to her family. If she had any sense of familial honour, she would choose to stay and swallow this bitter pain…
Shen Mo thought of another detail, as he looked at Bai Youwei, “Li was murdered shortly after the Mid-Autumn Festival.”
On the day of family reunion at the Mid-Autumn Festival, a woman realizes in a daze that time has flown by. That she has spent most of her life unknowingly with a villager covered in sores, and on seeing her white hair in the mirror, what would she think?… What would she do?
Bai Youwei sighed softly, “In earlier years, Li could subdue Miss Li, because he was older and stronger. But as time passed… Li turned into an old man, he grew older, and weaker. This was the perfect moment for Miss Li to take her revenge.”
“Although she was able to exact her revenge, it entirely destroyed her life,” said Shen Mo indifferently, “She could never go back and had to wander around the village, venting her anger and frustration on the villagers.”
The puzzle, had completely been solved.
“I know how to pass the round.” Bai Youwei closed her eyes and said, “Let’s go back and find that old scholar.”
It was a clear day, but there was no sign of the old scholar, nor the two paper figures.
Bai Youwei and Shen Mo searched around the house and found the old scholar’s bedroom.
The place had obviously been rummaged through. Bai Youwei didn’t find anything extraordinary, yet she spent a long time sitting in the hall.
She came to the central table, gently dusted it off, and said, “Fu Miaoxue was quite clever, she took the most crucial thing.”
Behind the spirit plate, there was a noticeable dust-free spot, as if something had been placed there for a long time.
Shen Mo furrowed his brows, looking suspicious, “They found the clue, but didn’t meet us in the village, and they’re not in this house now. It seems they intend to end our alliance.”
“Truly ruthless~” Bai Youwei laughed, “Just like a playboy, breaking up on a whim. However, terminating the alliance isn’t their call to make.”
Shen Mo looked outside, “This place isn’t big, with a little time, finding them won’t be hard. Should I go look for them?”
“Forget it~” Bai Youwei showed no concern. She carefully took down the spirit plaques of the old scholar’s parents and said unhurriedly, “…They will return sooner or later, there’s no need to waste time looking for them.”
Shen Mo looked at the spirit plaque in her hand, asked, “Shall we take action tonight?”
“I hope it’s tonight, but…” Bai Youwei hesitated for a few seconds, then said, “But, I need to make sure I stay awake tonight.”
“Bai Youwei will surely sleep tonight.”
In a dense forest far away, Fu Miaoxue was discussing her plan with Du Lai.
“Her constitution is naturally weak, which becomes even weaker in this game! She sleeps almost every night in the second half and can hardly stay up~~ But, the singing voice of the corpse moving woman affects someone every night, once Bai Youwei is affected, she’s doomed!”
Fu Miaoxue squinted her eyes, showing a hint of smugness.
“Just think about it, once she wakes up and finds the boyfriend that she killed herself, how would she feel? Shocked? Or devastated?
Huh hu huh… She’s a cripple, how will she live without her boyfriend? Maybe she’ll lose it and kill herself?”
Fu Miaoxue couldn’t help but cover her face with her hands, “I can’t stand it, I’m so evil~ Hehehehe…”
After laughing for a while, seeing Du Lai quietly watching her, she immediately rolled her eyes and snorted:
“What, you think I’ve been playing house in this game every day?”
