Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 288 - 131 Madam: 94, Is This Avici Hell?3

Mrs. Zhao was an exceptionally astute woman. Starting from a peasant girl with no background, she used her own ans to step by step actually co out on top in the Zheng Mansion, even superseding the First Madam, who ca from a wealthy rchant family.

To have a concubine surpass the wife was not sothing an ordinary person could achieve; it required considerable skill.

And she had done just that, naturally, she was no ordinary woman.

She keenly detected that hint of unusual color in Feng Xuan’s eyes.

n are a strange sort of animal. They are very combative and after winning a fight, they all like to show off a bit.

Others might not know the relationship between Feng Xuan and Zheng Chuan, but Mrs. Zhao did, and she could guess that Zheng Chuan’s death definitely had sothing to do with this uncle.

It’s quite possible that he was the one pushing things from behind.

After defeating another man, a man would want to completely possess all that belonged to the other man, thus achieving a spiritual transcendence.

And this was especially true when it ca to won.

Just think, your sworn enemy’s woman, now under you, begging in pain for rcy. And if you happen to think about it, how painful and devastating it would be for that damned rival to witness such a scene...

That kind of thrill goes right to the soul.

And for a woman, this is not necessarily a bad thing.

This is a male-dominated society; won depend on n. Since they are dependent, they must seize every opportunity. When the other party seeks pleasure through their suffering, isn’t it also an opportunity for them?

Mrs. Zhao’s tears made her look like a delicate, pitiful beauty. She looked up at Feng Xuan, and as their eyes t, her gaze seed to spin silk, seducing the man.

Zhao Xun’s heart swayed...

"Thank you, Uncle."

"There, there, sister-in-law. If you have any difficulties at ho now that your second brother is gone, you can always co to . I will certainly take good care of you and the family."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Mrs. Zhao thanked him repeatedly, and Zhao Xun then let go of her arm, imdiately turning his head to look at Peng Shizhong. His performance wasn’t over yet.

Now, with tears streaming, he approached Peng Shizhong: "Foster father, please temper your sorrow. Second Brother just made one mistaken step, I believe he already had a change of heart, it’s just too late."

Peng Shizhong looked at Feng Xuan and said, "Enough, eldest, stop crying."

"Yes, but, Dad, I can’t help it. Back then, you raised both Second Brother and by hand, how happy we were, and yet now he’s separated from us by life and death, my heart aches."

Tears also appeared in Peng Shizhong’s eyes, but he still said, "He brought this upon himself; he can’t live with his cris."

"Foster father, Second Brother was rely muddled for a mont, oh, he deserved another chance."

Feng Xuan tearfully pressed on.

Chen Jie was listening from the side, squinting his eyes; this Feng Xuan was really a sly one, causing trouble for others and now performing the sympathizer.

Thinking this, Feng Xuan suddenly turned towards Chen Jie: "Ah, Fifth Brother, don’t overthink things. I wasn’t talking about you. I heard about the situation from Uncle Fu; it was a crisis, and you were forced to act. But, my heart aches for Second Brother."

Feng Xuan turned again toward Chen Jie.

Chen Jie smiled and said, "Eldest Brother has a deep bond with Second Brother; I, of course, understand that. But the man’s dead, so Eldest Brother, please accept my condolences."

"Ah, yes, what Fifth Brother said is right. It’s just that my heart aches for my brother; you don’t know, it hasn’t been easy for him..."

Chen Jie kept smiling, even though he knew Feng Xuan was full of it, he still went along with the act. That’s how it is in Jianghu, where hypocrisy is a necessary social skill.

Lu Rong was crying and said, "Second Brother is to bla, but after all, we’re brothers. Eldest Brother is genuinely emotional, and Fifth Brother acted under compulsion. Let’s not talk about this for now and take care of the funeral matters properly."

"Foster father, is Second Brother to be buried with Fourth Brother?"

Upon hearing this, Peng Shizhong said, "Yes, they’ll be buried together."

"And when will the coffin be sealed?"

"Don’t rush, we are waiting for soone."

"Who else?"

Lu Rong asked. Peng Shizhong replied, "The person who decides whether Second Brother can be buried in peace and whether his family can continue to survive."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards Zheng Chuan’s family.

At this mont, all the remaining mbers of the Zheng Family were frightened and huddled together, with only Mrs. Zheng still feigning calm.

And just then, they heard Zhou Chu shout from outside: "Commander Qimu Ge has arrived!"

With that shout, they saw Qimu Ge leading ten Black Armor guards into the White Tiger Hall, led by Zhou Chu.

Peng Shizhong went up to greet him as Chen Jie, Feng Xuan, and Lu Rong followed. Qimu Ge stepped forward and exchanged a salute with Peng Shizhong: "Sect Master Peng."

"Lord Commander."

Qimu Ge asked, "Where is the prisoner?"

"In the coffin," Peng Shizhong replied.

Qimu Ge walked over, glanced at the coffin’s content, and gestured for a Black Armor guard to take note: "Record this, confirm the identity."

Following that, Qimu Ge inquired, "Where is the evidence?"

Peng Fu quickly brought over a tray with transaction records and Wang Dafa’s confession.

Qimu Ge then asked, "Have you arrested any demon people from the Zoroastrian Sect?"

Peng Shizhong replied, "They cleared out long ago; it seems they change locations with every deal."

Hearing this, Qimu Ge asked, "What about the money?"

Peng Shizhong answered, "The Zheng Mansion seized ten thousand Silver Taels; all of it has been sealed. As for the rest of the unaccounted-for Silver Tael, I will cover it."

Qimu Ge waved his hand and said, "No need. The Lord said that Sect Master Peng has worked hard and made great contributions to the court, so they won’t pursue the matter further."

"Thank you, Lord Commander. Oh, and I have one more favor to ask, Lord. What about the family of my worthless second son?"

Qimu Ge declared, "The Lord’s command is only to execute the ringleader and seize the funds; allows burial without further persecution of his wife and children."

"Thank you, Lord!"

Upon hearing this, Peng Shizhong imdiately bowed deeply.
