Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 131: Living Up to the Title of ’Poison

Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Living Up to the Title of ’Poison

"Go... golden ingot?"

Mrs. Li Zhou stuttered, unable to speak clearly. This thing was so valuable it could kill. If she could get her hands on it, would she still be here wasting time with them? Wouldn’t she have run away already?

"You... you don’t slander me!" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Is that so? Whether it’s slander or not, wouldn’t it be clear if we searched you?"

Long Yue smiled innocently, but in Mrs. Li Zhou’s eyes, that smile was the devil’s grin. This woman was cunning; might she be framing her?

She instinctively felt her body, confirming there was nothing inside, then said, "Alright, I’m clean, I don’t even have a Copper Coin, so you tell me where..."

Mrs. Li Zhou stood with her hands on her hips, head held high, practically boasting, just short of flying up. Long Yue took a step forward, waved in front of her, and then grabbed her sleeve: "Oh, isn’t this it?"

Mrs. Li Zhou was stunned. Following her hand, she saw right at the spot where her sleeve met Long Yue’s, there was clearly a golden ingot, shimmering, reflecting an alluring glow.

This...

Mrs. Li Zhou was dumbfounded, as were Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Zhang.

"No, I didn’t steal this!"

Stealing gold was a grave crime. No matter how much Mrs. Li Zhou loved money, she wouldn’t trade her life for it, especially since she had already served time and knew that place was inhumane, making her even more fearful.

She hastily defended herself, and Long Yue chuckled, "If you didn’t steal it, then was it you, you, or you? Anyway, one of you must have stolen it in front of everyone’s eyes, and you still want to argue? Young Master Qin, what do you think about this?"

"Hand them over to the government!"

This Qin Family Young Master was not to be trifled with. From the way he quickly adapted, it was clear he was quite formidable.

Although he didn’t know the exact relationship between Mrs. Li Zhou and Long Yue, just witnessing their behavior was quite off-putting.

So, he unceremoniously called for the government.

This place belonged to Gaoyang County, and the government was...

Long Yue smiled at Li Qingmu. Although he was about to leave for Xinan, before he went, he was still the County Magistrate of Gaoyang, so the severity of this matter depended entirely on his decision.

Mrs. Li Zhou probably realized this too. She turned pale with fear, quickly retreating and saying, "You... you can’t arrest me. You’re leaving, so you’re not the County Magistrate of Gaoyang County anymore..."

"But I can wait for the new magistrate to take over and then transfer this case to him. Even if I don’t wait for him, I can organize the case, and it can be resolved when the next magistrate arrives."

Mrs. Li Zhou’s repeated disturbances had nearly exhausted Li Qingmu’s last bit of sentiment. He said coldly, with no emotion on his face, as if discussing something unrelated to him.

"Don’t..."

Mrs. Li Zhou watched the Qin family servants approaching from both sides, turning green with fear. She didn’t want to go back inside, so she hurriedly begged, "Third Brother, let’s talk this through, alright?"

"There’s nothing to talk about between us!"

Seeing Mrs. Li Zhou’s family, who always fawned over those in power and trampled on the weak, he saw through them, not even wanting to exchange another word.

"Oh well, forget about the chicken, it was a misunderstanding! Whatever... there are things to do at home, let’s leave first! Quickly, go!"

Mrs. Li Zhou tossed the chicken aside, quickly trotting away, with Mrs. Wang and Li Qingxue hurrying to catch up, leaving only Mrs. Zhang. She jogged a few steps, then suddenly turned back, spitting, "Useless traitors, you deserve to be exiled to Xinan. I hope to hear how you’ll die!"

Long Yue sneered, "You’re afraid you won’t see it!"

"Hmph, let’s just wait and see. I’ll be at home waiting for news of your deaths over there, and next year I can burn paper money for you!"

Those words were so venomous that even Qin Wuyou couldn’t bear it, cursing, "You wicked woman!"

"Bah, I’m not as vicious as this little vixen!"

"Nonsense, Sister Yue is very... uh..."

"Slap!"

Qin Wuyou was speaking for Long Yue when he saw her suddenly rush forward, raising her hand and giving Mrs. Zhang a resounding slap!

Long Yue always had a heavy hand. With that slap, Mrs. Zhang’s face immediately swelled, the places where the five fingers landed raising like five pink caterpillars.

Qin Wuyou winced at the pain, his cheeks flushing. Just a moment ago, he was praising her, and the next she hit someone... Did she really have to hit so hard?

Zhang Meihua, covering her face in shock, shrieked, "Mrs. Pang, you little brat, you hit me?"

"Slap!"

Long Yue, without mercy, hit her again, sneering, "Yes, I hit you! You call me a wicked woman, and if I don’t hit you to make it worth the ’wicked’ title, how can I live up to it?"

"You, you..."

"What about me?"

Long Yue stepped closer, Zhang Meihua instinctively taking a step back.

Long Yue despised those who bullied the weak, saying coldly, "Get lost, dare to say another word, and I’ll break your leg!"

Zhang Meihua glared at her venomously, but thinking about this woman’s cruelty, shrank back, not daring to speak further, and ran away.

"Sister Yue... you..."

Qin Wuyou watched Long Yue walk back gracefully, seemingly gentle, even with a smile, but the ferocity from earlier...

He figured if that woman dared to say one more word, Sister Yue would have broken her leg!

This woman’s so fierce!

"Slap!"

Just as Wuyou was thinking, he felt a gust of wind above him, then got slapped.

"Hey, I’m younger than you, does it not embarrass you to call me sister?"

Wuyou held his head, looking dejected, "Why did you hit me? I call Li Qingmu ’big brother,’ so of course I call you ’sister.’ Should I call you ’little sis’ instead?"

"I’m his wife, so you should call me ’sister-in-law’!"

Long Yue wanted to cover her face, this boy was so clueless.

"I just came down the mountain, there’s a lot I don’t understand, but I’ll learn slowly..." Wuyou rubbed his head, looking nostalgically at Long Yue and her husband, "You... really have to leave, not staying a few more days?"

"The imperial edict says we must leave immediately, disobeying it isn’t an option, we must go."

"Brother Mu, not even a goodbye?"

Qin Wuyou truly felt a bit reluctant. They were the ones who saved him from the mountain bandit’s den, and also the ones who helped him return to his family, giving him a home.

His brotherly bond with them was immense, he didn’t know how to repay it.

He thought he could be with them, happily living, sharing in the Qin family’s business, living a prosperous life, but now... they said they were leaving?

Long Yue chuckled, "All good things come to an end, why say goodbye? It’s too sad! We’re leaving just like this, maybe we’ll meet again someday. Wuyou, take good care of the Qin Family Embroidery Workshop, make it grow, I hope in the future it can also be seen in Xinan, understood?"

"I... I understand!"
