The Fierce Illegitimate Miss - Chapter 94

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

General Yu didn’t show much sadness for the death of Lady Yu. Only when he came back from Cangchun street after drinking that day, he wailed a few times, and then he couldn’t resist his deep drunkenness and fell asleep.

The death of Lady Yu gave General Yu and Mu Shi another reason to make a big deal. Nowadays, Gan Taifu’s marriage with the Yu Mansion was already a certainty. Everyone rushed to show their courtesy to General Yu and his wife because they wanted to flatter the future in-laws of the Gan family.

Therefore, although General Yu and Mu Shi were all dressed in plain clothes and practiced filial piety, they could not hide their pride. General Yu was invited to drink from time to time, and he returned drunk every day. And Mu Shi finally got rid of the mother-in-law who had been so obtrusive for years and regained the power of the Yu Mansion for the funeral. Therefore, although she looked very sad, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of pride.

Yu Linglong watched silently as the two of them were so busy all day long running around like monkeys, but surprisingly, there was no response.

As for Mu Shi, after a few days of anxiety, seeing that no one was moving, she was completely relieved.

In the Yu Mansion, General Yu was careless and violent, and would not notice these small details at all. Other people were not even worried. Only Yu Linglong knew of Mu Shi’s crime.

Seeing that even Yu Linglong had no objection to the death of Lady Yu, Mu Shi felt even more proud.

She was just a little commoner’s daughter. Maybe she’s a bit more feisty, but she’s not her opponent if she wants to fight!

After she triumphantly managed the funeral of Lady Yu, Mu Shi happily lived with the gift money she collected and unceremoniously kept it in her dresser box.

Had she known that she could receive such a large amount of cash, that obnoxious old lady would die sooner!

Mu Shi had been tired for several days, and she was already exhausted at the moment. She ordered Shuang Tao to burn a soothing fragrance, and she soon fell asleep.

Shuang Tao helped Mu Shi to sleep and then walked to the couch beside the bed, ready to rest.

Before sitting down, she suddenly heard the sound of very light footsteps coming from outside the window. She couldn’t help being a little suspicious. Who else would come at this time?

In order not to wake Mu Shi, she gently walked to the window and asked in a low voice: “Who is it?”

The sound outside disappeared, and there were only the evening breeze and the rustle of falling leaves. No one was there.

Shuang Tao looked around for a moment, but couldn’t see anything.

She retracted her head in confusion and was just about to turn around when she suddenly heard a bang, which sounded particularly harsh in the middle of the night.

Shuang Tao was taken aback but saw a cat leaping off the window sill. It turned out that it was a cat who turned over the flowerpot and ran away.

Shuang Tao shook her head mockingly and closed the window gently.

She didn’t realize that a ghostly shadow appeared behind her at some point, standing silently behind her.

Before she turned her head, the black shadow had already made a sharp move, slamming heavily on the back of Shuang Tao’s neck.

Shuang Tao didn’t even groan and fell softly to the ground.

Mu Shi was awakened by the falling sound of the flowerpot. She turned over and saw that Shuang Tao hadn’t made a sound, and she asked in a daze, “Who is it?”

No one answered her. Quietly in the room, in the darkness, a huge murderous aura gradually rose and slowly condensed.

Mu Shi opened her eyes in a daze, but was scared by the situation in front of her and suddenly became completely sleepy.

A slender figure stood in front of her bed, staring at her motionlessly.

The face of the visitor could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but Mu Shi could still feel the sharp murderous aura and the constant anger that came out of the visitor.

“Who, who are you? Come here, come here—”

A horrified scream was her response, and her throat was severely strangled by a small hand, and her voice was immediately cut off.

“It’s time for you to die.”

The oozing voice seemed to be from the Shura demon coming out of hell, and the hairs all over her body could not help but stick up.

“Don’t, don’t—” Mu Shi’s face was purplish, and she could only speak word by word, “I…I have silver…silver to give you if…if you…don’t, don’t kill me…”

“Silver?” There was a sneer in the darkness, “No amount of silver can be exchanged for your life!”

The little hand pinching her neck suddenly strengthened, and Mu Shi couldn’t even say a word at this moment. She kicked her feet desperately, kicking the quilt to the ground, but she couldn’t get rid of the restraint on her neck.

Just when she was about to faint, the strength on her neck suddenly disappeared.

In the darkness, the slender figure took a step forward, surrounded by an invisible aura, and the oppressor couldn’t breathe.

Mu Shi was coughing desperately, and just as she eased her breath, she raised her head.

A faint moonlight passed through the panes and hit the black shadow’s face. Only then did Mu Shi clearly see the appearance of the visitor, but she was immediately frightened by the look.

The girl in the dark had long and slender eyebrows, her inky eyes were cold, her delicate face was pure and vulgar, but she had a cold chill. Yu Linglong was dressed in black clothes and a veil, like a witch, and her body exuded a cold, murderous aura.

“Linglong—” Mu Shi trembled and made a desperate sound, so scared that she could only whimper in fear.

Even though she had been cleaned up by Yu Linglong so many times, Mu Shi had never seen Yu Linglong like this. Yu Linglong had only made her feel venomous before, but this time, she could clearly feel Yu Linglong exuding a deadly air.

It was time to kill this commoner’s daughter!

Mu Shi knelt on the bed, holding Yu Linglong’s clothes tightly with both hands, raised her face and begged desperately: “Please, don’t kill me, I will give you money, I will give you whatever you want—”

Without being shaken by Mu Shi’s grief, Yu Linglong’s soft lips twitched slightly, and she uttered a cold sentence: “I just want your life!”

Mu Shi hadn’t waited to say anything, she only felt that the roots of her hair were suddenly tightened. Her bun was being violently pulled up by Yu Linglong, her neck leaned back as far as possible, and she forced to watch Yu Linglong’s condescending expression. Her face and eyes were full of fear.

Yu Linglong’s right hand was slowly raised, and Mu Shi saw a blue teapot with a white background in her hand, but she didn’t know what Yu Linglong was going to do.

In the next moment, she smelled it.

There was a pungent smell in the air, which made her unable to open her eyes.

Mu Shi’s face suddenly changed, and her face was pale as a dead person’s in the cold moonlight.

“Acid…”

The petal-like lips smiled faintly. Yu Linglong seemed to be as casual as if she was pouring her a cup of tea, and the teapot in her hand slowly pressed against her—[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“Don’t—” Mu Shi let out a half-broken scream, which was severely chopped off.

The pointed spout of the teapot was tucked into Mu Shi’s mouth at this moment.

She could almost feel that the turbid liquid in the pot was flowing slowly, with the power to corrode everything, ready to be poured into her mouth anytime, anywhere.

“I’m doing this for the old lady.” Yu Linglong’s movement stopped for a while, and she gestured to raise her hand and fall.

Mu Shi was so frightened that she didn’t know where the strength came from, and she suddenly broke free of Yu Linglong’s restraint and shouted wildly: “No! It’s not me! I didn’t poison her! Forgive me—”

Yu Linglong smiled sarcastically.

“Did I say you poisoned her?” The teapot filled with water was smashed to the bed, and a few drops of liquid splashed out of the mouth of the kettle, and the splendid satin quilt was immediately burned. A small black hole exuded bursts of blue smoke.

Mu Shi’s face instantly turned pale. Why was she so frightened that she was confused? Was this a confession?

Could this fierce bastard daughter in front of me let me go?

She knew that no matter how she begged Yu Linglong for mercy, it was impossible to get forgiveness. Mu Shi suddenly rushed off of the bed, without wearing her shoes, and stumbled and ran out.

“Help—”

Before she ran out for two steps, her long, loose hair was firmly grasped, her body was pushed hard, and Mu Shi fell heavily to the ground.

Yu Linglong gripped her bun, forced her head up, picked up the teapot on the bed, stuffed it directly into Mu Shi’s mouth, and poured it down without hesitation!

“Do you know that the old lady has been poisoned into the bone marrow? I will let you taste the venom!”

Mu Shi just felt that she swallowed a big mouthful of fire, and it sprayed her belly along her throat. The strong, pungent acid was like a fiery dragon, sweeping her entire body with venom!

Suddenly, the empty teapot fell to the ground, and Mu Shi’s heavy body fell together with it.

An unknown liquid kept flowing out of Mu Shi’s mouth and nose, mixed with a little bit of blood, almost making her unable to breathe. Her hands were convulsing like she was trying to scratch her chest, but she couldn’t get any strength at all.

Mu Shi couldn’t make any sound anymore. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she tried her best to say something, but she only made an unpleasant sigh.

Having enjoyed a lifetime of prosperity and wealth, she never thought that she would die so miserably.

She wanted to look up again at the commoner’s daughter who took her life, but her movement stopped at this moment.

Her neck twisted in a weird posture, and she could no longer lift her head.

The head lady of the Yu Mansion, Mu Shi, collapsed to the ground in a strange posture, falling into her own flesh and blood, staring into the darkness with red eyes, and stopped breathing.

Yu Linglong stood quietly in the room, looking at Mu Shi’s body.

In her eyes, there was no pleasure after revenge, no ease after killing, only cold chill.

In the Yu house, there was going to be another funeral.

…

The next day when Shuang Tao woke up, she saw the vague pile of flesh and blood on the ground, and she was so frightened and lost her mind, and rushed out of the room screaming.

Without even trying, everyone in the Yu house knew that Mu Shi was dead, and she died in such a strange and terrible way.

But no one knew why Mu Shi died. The only person who could testify was Shuang Tao who was half crazy and half stupid. They couldn’t ask her anything at all, and could only guess from her incoherent words. She did not see the appearance of the murderer.

And it stands to reason that it was impossible for Mu Shi’s death to be so miserable that there was no sound at all, but they had asked all the maids and servants in Mu Shi’s room, but no one had heard any abnormal sounds. Even stranger, on the night of the accident, all of them slept strangely. They slept until dawn until they were awakened by Shuang Tao’s screams.

During the subsequent inspection, someone found sleeping incense in the rooms of the servants and maids, which explained the mystery of why no one heard the sound.

In just a few days, General Yu lost his mother and his wife. He had undergone tremendous changes in his family and had hardly recovered from the blow. On weekdays, he never asked about family matters, but when Mu Shi suddenly passed away, he was completely confused, and the Yu house immediately became a mess.

Jiang Yuezhen, the new wife, had to be ordered to take on the task of taking care of the funeral.

Yu Weiwu returned on the day of Mu Shi’s death.

Since being beaten by Yu Linglong last time, he recovered from his wounds and went to the barracks in a desperate manner. He buried this shame deeply and refused to go home easily. He had not returned since the last time he got married. Fortunately, the Yu Mansion was not small. Yu Linglong was only in Pinlan Garden and Jingshan Hall on weekdays. Finally, Yu Weiwu never encountered this fierce commoner’s daughter again.

This time, as soon as he heard of his mother’s death, Yu Weiwu felt like he was struck by lightning, and immediately returned to his home.

After seeing Mu Shi’s inhuman body, Yu Weiwu suddenly felt distraught. Before he thought about it, he turned to General Yu and shouted: “Who did this!”

General Yu’s thick eyebrows furrowed: “How would I know? It was fine the first day, but it became like this the next day!”

The General had killed countless people. When he saw Mu Shi’s body, his scalp was numb. He really didn’t know which god his wife had offended, and how she could be killed by this method.

Yu Weiwu was young, but his temper completely followed General Yu’s. At this moment, he looked at General Yu bitterly and roared: “You don’t know? How many days have you not seen Mother and Mother was murdered like this? How do you not know anything!?”

How could General Yu allow his son to yell at him so much? He immediately stood up and shouted: “Little bastard, how can you talk to me like that!?”

Yu Weiwu couldn’t control his anger, and his voice rose a lot without knowing it: “You only look after your demon-like woman all the time. How can you even look at Mother?”

General Yu’s voice was like a flood, and spoke forcefully: “Are you supposed to care about my affairs?”

Next to Mu Shi’s corpse, the father and son were glaring at each other, and they were about to fight.

Jiang Yuezhen on the side was completely veiled, looking at the father and son, not knowing how to persuade them. She had her father-in-law on one side and her husband on the other. She really didn’t know what to say.

After hesitating for a long time, she stepped forward timidly and gently pulled Yu Weiwu’s sleeve: “Uncle, don’t worry. If you have something to say slowly, let’s discuss it first. What should I do about Mother’s funeral?”

Yu Weiwu was getting angry, and pulled his sleeve without thinking about it: “My family’s affairs have nothing to do with you!”

Jiang Yuezhen was taken aback for a moment. Tears gradually poured into her eyes, and she didn’t dare speak any more.

Yu Weiwu looked back at Mu Shi’s body. He was sorrowful and angry for a while, and then fell to his knees: “Mother, you died so miserably! Who killed you? My son must avenge you!”

Seeing that Yu Weiwu was crying pitifully, General Yu couldn’t scold the eldest son who had just lost his mother. He sighed heavily and walked to the side to sit down.

Seeing that her husband was crying, Jiang Yuezhen knelt on the side and started crying with him.

Yu Weiwu cried for a long time before his voice gradually turned away. He wiped his tears and said, “Mother’s death was shady. Could we report it to an official?”

General Yu jumped up quickly: “What? Report to the official? Are you crazy? Do you still think there’s not enough trouble?”

The cause of Mu Shi’s death was indeed strange, but if it was reported to the official, it would inevitably cause another disturbance. Now the Yu house and the Gan family have just arranged a marriage if people knew that Mu Shi was also dead, wouldn’t this marriage be more complicated?

It was not that General Yu wasn’t sad about Mu Shi’s death. After all, after being a husband and wife for so many years, it was impossible to say that there was no affection at all. It was just that General Yu was selfish and cold by nature, and after Mu Shi’s death, he will only be sad for a while and then forget it. Anyway, there was the gentle beauty of Concubine Mei, it didn’t matter whether there was Mu Shi or not.

Besides, he had formed a family relationship with Gan Taifu. If he wanted to arrange a marriage with a family in the future, he could naturally marry a better successor. As for Mu Shi, she was dead. Except for the time being, there is no one to look after the house, and it didn’t affect General Yu’s life too much.

General Yu meant that she was already dead anyway, so he should discuss the matter quickly and not worry about it. In case it affected his official career or marriage to the Gan family, that was more than the gain.

When Yu Weiwu saw General Yu resolutely oppose the reporting to the officials, his grief arose: “Father, my mother was murdered like this, don’t you want to catch the murderer?”

General Yu said angrily: “Catch the murderer? Can she survive if we catch the murderer?”

Yu Weiwu squeezed his knuckles, and he glared angrily at General Yu, then turned and walked out: “If you don’t report it, I’ll report it!”

General Yu was furious, stepped forward and grabbed Yu Weiwu, before he even thought about it, he slapped him away: “If you report it, don’t bother coming back!”

Yu Weiwu was staggering under General Yu, and while shielding his head and face from General Yu’s beating, he exclaimed angrily: “Did Mother die in vain? Don’t make me go to the officials. Tell me, who is the murderer!?”

General Yu said angrily: “What murderer? Your mother is a woman in the inner house, how can she have a feud with someone?”

His words suddenly awakened Yu Weiwu. He put down his arm in a daze, and even forgot to block the beating and scolding of General Yu. He muttered to himself: “Yes, my mother didn’t even leave the door, so how could she have a feud with someone?”

Seeing that Yu Weiwu was no longer arguing about the report, General Yu stopped his hand: “I’m just saying, who is her enemy? You can stay at home and take care of your mother’s funeral…”

Yu Weiwu didn’t seem to hear General Yu’s words. His face changed a little, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, “Yes, it must be her!”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
