How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 44: They Want to Ruin Pei Shu’er’s Reputation
The government officer didn’t say anything more and continued to shovel dirt over the body.
Tang Qinghua was already weak, and now she felt as if there was no air left in her chest, with a nose full of dirt.
She thought Tang Peilin didn’t know she was still alive, so she tried hard to make a sound, but her voice remained faint.
She used all her strength to move, but at this moment, only her upper body could move, and even that was with little range.
Then she noticed the officers stopped, seemingly realizing the person wasn’t dead. Tang Qinghua was overjoyed and struggled harder.
But soon she felt something heavy press down on her, and a few severe stomps.
Tang Qinghua’s hand bone was completely crushed, and she couldn’t move anymore to get the outside people’s attention.
"Lord, must be the soil here is soft, it’s already fine."
It was Tang Peilin’s voice.
Tang Qinghua suddenly understood. She had previously noticed a malicious intent in her father’s eyes when he looked at her, and now she realized he had long wanted her dead.
Otherwise, a father wouldn’t have the heart to stomp on his own daughter.
This showed that Tang Peilin wanted her to be unquestionably "dead", preferably never to live again.
Tang Qinghua suddenly regretted it. She didn’t know why it had come to this, it all started with her father hating the third branch, and then she was influenced by her father and hated the third branch too, even causing problems for them multiple times.
Even wanting Pei Shu’er’s life.
But now, she realized how foolish her previous actions were.
Clearly, all of this started because Aunt Lin miscarried a son, yet Aunt Lin never stood up from start to finish.
But she herself had no enmity with Pei Shu’er, why did she have to oppose Pei Shu’er?
If she hadn’t opposed her, she wouldn’t have been disabled, let alone become a burden and be buried alive by her own father.
Tang Qinghua’s tears trickled down her cheeks, she regretted it, but it was all too late.
She also hated Tang Peilin, if he didn’t want to care for her, he could simply abandon her, why bury her alive and let her experience suffocation.
Had she not been out of strength, she really wanted to go out and drag Tang Peilin down with her.
In the painful breathlessness, she gradually stopped breathing, her heart stopped beating.
Once the person was buried, the government officer pressed down with the shovel to firm it.
Tang Peilin looked at that earthen grave, his eyes were deep, and once again he blamed Pei Shu’er for it.
If it weren’t for Pei Shu’er drawing that kind of herb, his daughter wouldn’t have been crippled, and he wouldn’t have been forced to personally bury his daughter alive.
Pei Shu’er, he would make her pay the price.
Yet he completely forgot that the herb was drawn by Pei Shu’er at the request of their own first branch person.
Surely there were quite a few who heard.
So, was Tang Qinghua buried alive by her own father?
Pei Shu’er felt only a shiver, in the original narrative, because Old Madam Tang had passed away early, there was no one to suppress the first branch, and the first branch first sent off the third branch to the officers, then the fourth.
The first branch lived comfortably, not hitting rock bottom that they had to bury their own daughter alive.
However, she also didn’t sympathize, after all, if the first branch thrived, the one harmed and dead would have been herself.
Half an hour later, Mrs. Li finally awoke to find Tang Qinghua missing from her surroundings.
She was momentarily flustered.
She inquired Aunt Lin.
"Where’s Qinghua?"
Aunt Lin and Tang Qingrou both shook their heads, yet their eyes couldn’t help but glance at Tang Peilin.
Mrs. Li walked over to Tang Peilin, seeing him staring red-eyed at the mound of earth, silently standing.
She had a suspicion, and her eyes instantly reddened.
Mrs. Li had only one daughter in her life, she valued her more than her heart.
She hurried over, lay on the grave, and wept, even trying to scratch at the dirt with her hands but was stopped by Tang Peilin.
Tang Peilin said sorrowfully, "She is already dead, let her rest in peace."
He absolutely could not let Mrs. Li find out that Tang Qinghua was buried alive by him, otherwise, with Mrs. Li’s nature, she might lash out at him.
Mrs. Li was in agony, covering her face and crying for a long time before she spoke.
"It’s all Pei Shu’er, if it weren’t for her, Qinghua wouldn’t have met such a miserable fate, I must kill her."
Tang Peilin nodded in agreement, also feeling that it was because of Pei Shu’er that their first branch faced this day.
"We cannot let Pei Shu’er continue her free reign."
Pei Shu’er not only heard Tang Qinghua’s voice, but she also saw Tang Qinghua’s fingers twitch slightly.
The two of them quickly turned their grief and anger into motivation, deciding on a plan to deal with Pei Shu’er.
Mrs. Li found Zhang Chao, Ma He, Liu Di, and a strong man. They were probably the best in physical condition among the exiled group.
Even the bearded man from before, when compared with the four of them in terms of combat power, was no match.
Moreover, two fists cannot fend off four hands, no matter how strong Pei Shu’er was, she couldn’t possibly fight against four people.
Mrs. Li said, "I’m counting on you, I want Pei Shu’er ruined tonight."
Zhang Chao tossed the silver in his hand, showing a rather indifferent expression.
"You hired the four of us just to deal with one Pei Shu’er, you might be underestimating us too much."
Ma He also snorted, "Exactly, against someone like Pei Shu’er, even Liu Di alone could handle it."
Mrs. Li said, "I know it’s a bit of an injustice to ask four of you, but Pei Shu’er is unusually strong, I just want to make sure."
That’s what she said, though she didn’t really think Pei Shu’er could beat any one of them.
But with four people together dealing with that troublesome girl, even if she had wings, she couldn’t escape, and it would be lucky if she could survive.
Tang Peilin actually thought so too. These four men were experts; any one of them should be enough for Pei Shu’er, two could definitely subdue her, four was just overkill.
But Mrs. Li evidently didn’t think so, she was cautious and now obsessed with avenging her daughter, solely wanting Pei Shu’er to suffer and die wretchedly.
After all, it was only twenty taels of silver, even though it pained her, she could afford it.
Zhang Chao smiled slightly, they had already achieved an initial understanding of inner strength, and within this group of exiles, there were very few with such strength.
Brute force was nothing in the face of inner strength.
Zhang Chao smiled, "Alright, and you can just wait for our good news."
Ma He shrugged, moving closer to Zhang Chao with a smile, "Big brother, rest assured, this little girl is as easy as pie to capture."
Zhang Chao smiled, "Sure, but since it’s just about dealing with a little girl, spare your strength, or consuming too much inner strength will make you eat more, better save some food."
Liu Di also grinningly added, "Big brother, I feel like just you and the strong man could handle it."
Zhang Chao chuckled coldly.
Just Pei Shu’er, indeed, there’s no need for all four of them to join in.
Mrs. Li and Tang Peilin breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had finally relieved themselves of a burden.
As long as Pei Shu’er was dead, then Tang Zan’s crippled leg would worsen until he died, and then the third branch would be easily dealt with.
They would have avenged Tang Qinghua too.
Pei Shu’er, they must make her regret being born into this world and regret opposing the people of their first branch.
