How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 49: It Takes a Villain to Deal with a Villain, Only Magic Can Defeat Magic
After being mocked by the man with his eyes for some time, Tang Peilin became increasingly resentful of Pei Shu’er.
He finally came to his senses, realizing that everything was caused by Pei Shu’er.
Clearly, the victim should have been Pei Shu’er, so how did it turn out to be Mrs. Li?
Moreover, at that time, it was Zhang Chao who sought out Mrs. Li. Clearly, Pei Shu’er had bribed Zhang Chao and others to deliberately frame Mrs. Li, causing their main house to lose face completely.
Even though Mrs. Li wasn’t slept with, in everyone’s eyes, Mrs. Li still cuckolded him.
Angry, Tang Peilin went several times to trouble Pei Shu’er, but Pei Shu’er blocked him every step of the way.
Pei Shu’er also found it annoying. She was secretly learning wilderness survival skills, and this pesky uncle kept causing trouble, interrupting her study progress.
Thinking of this, Pei Shu’er glanced at the sulking Mrs. Li.
Her eyes lit up. Only a villain can deal with a villain, only magic can defeat magic.
Letting them exhaust themselves with internal strife was more fitting.
On the way, Pei Shu’er tugged at Mrs. Li’s clothes.
Mrs. Li, thin to the bone, turned back, and the moment she saw Pei Shu’er, her eyes were fierce as if she wanted to devour Pei Shu’er alive.
"You little slut, you still dare to come to me? Let’s see if I don’t strangle you."
Pei Shu’er said indifferently, "Aunt, if you kill me here, the government officer will execute you on the spot."
Mrs. Li gritted her teeth, "I’m not afraid. I’ll drag you down to Hell even if I die."
Pei Shu’er curled her lips and leaned in close, speaking softly.
"Aunt, I know why you hate me so much, but I want to tell you, you’re hating the wrong person."
Mrs. Li didn’t want to hear Pei Shu’er’s excuses, sneering as she lunged at her.
Pei Shu’er stood still without even lifting an eyelid, yet her words were deafening.
"Tang Qinghua was buried alive, buried alive by your husband."
These words left Mrs. Li stunned in place. After about two seconds, she shook her head.
"Impossible, Qinghua is my husband’s favorite daughter. He wouldn’t do that."
Pei Shu’er’s voice remained gentle, even with a hint of pity in her eyes.
"Do you recall the government officer who buried your daughter earlier?"
"How about this, you can find them later and ask whether they heard cries for help or, when holding Tang Qinghua, if her body was still warm."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li froze.
She told herself she couldn’t be deceived by Pei Shu’er’s sweet words, and her heart turned away from Tang Peilin.
But a voice uncontrollably resurfaced in her mind: perhaps, this was the real truth.
That evening, she presented five ounces of silver to the government officer, smiling ingratiatingly as she asked.
"Lord, was there anything unusual when you buried Qinghua before?"
The officer recalled carefully: "I remember hearing sobs and cries for help at the time."
Another officer added, "I also saw the earth move a few times, then Old Master Tang stepped on it, saying the soil was loose."
At these words, Mrs. Li nearly collapsed.
She found it hard to imagine that Pei Shu’er’s words were true.
And she, incredibly, learned the truth about her daughter’s death from the mouth of an enemy.
Her husband had indeed buried Qinghua alive.
And judging by the officer’s description, he seemed determined.
She stumbled back in a daze, only to see Pei Shu’er sighing.
"Aunt, you really are hating the wrong person. I feel sad."
"The uncle should know by now that you didn’t betray him, yet he still mistreats you, even beating you repeatedly."
"Though he knows, he won’t say a word for you. He even considered killing you to save face."
"I believe if he hadn’t suddenly run out of strength during a beating, you might have been dead."
After saying this, Pei Shu’er sighed again, looking at Mrs. Li with nothing but pity in her eyes.
She shook her head and left.
Mrs. Li was stunned; she should have cursed at Pei Shu’er, yet at that moment, she lacked the energy.
In fact, she couldn’t muster the strength to curse Pei Shu’er.
If it was true, she wouldn’t forgive Tang Peilin.
For her own sake, and for Tang Qinghua’s.
Because of this, Mrs. Li discarded all dignity to seduce Tang Peilin, becoming closer to him, even going to any lengths to endure.
Though Tang Peilin wasn’t physically able now, it didn’t stop him from being a bit more affectionate with Mrs. Li, yet it was much less than before.
His plan was simple: to coax Mrs. Li into taking care of him.
Once they reached their place of exile, he would find other women.
What he didn’t know was that Mrs. Li was secretly adding poison to his meals every day, making him consume it slowly.
Of course, Mrs. Li’s hatred for Pei Shu’er hadn’t stopped. She just didn’t have the heart to deal with Pei Shu’er now.
Because Pei Shu’er’s maneuver got rid of the main house’s entanglements, her days finally went smoothly.
While she couldn’t kill the main house people, letting them tormentedly drift apart and die was quite satisfying.
More importantly, they would no longer bother her.
They advanced another two hundred miles; it got even colder here, and everyone was miserably cold.
Pei Shu’er took out furs and gave them to those she was close with; Lin Yu, Lin Hong, Lai Fufu and Wangcai, as well as Yinxing Zhang, each received one.
With these furs worn close to the body, warmth was much improved.
As for the third house people, Pei Shu’er gave not only furs but also a hand warmer to each person, which Liu Xu watched wide-eyed.
"Shu’er, how come you even have these things?"
Pei Shu’er smiled gently, "Gulan Mountain is too cold, so I prepared some items for warmth."
Tang Qingning even found that the hand warmers contained charcoal pieces.
Her sister-in-law was truly a treasure trove.
One could find all sorts of strange things.
But thinking of the gigantic bundle on Pei Shu’er’s back, as tall as she was,
it seemed not surprising to pull anything out of it.
Pei Shu’er distributed the hand warmers to the third house people and Lin Yu and others, while Tang Zan kept watching Pei Shu’er, his eyes a bit gloomy.
Was this woman deliberately forgetting him?
Deliberately giving him the cold shoulder?
Not that he wanted the hand warmer, but he was annoyed by Pei Shu’er’s ignoring him.
He was her husband, after all.
When Pei Shu’er, holding a small hand warmer, approached with a smile and handed it to him, his frustration dissipated.
He took it expressionlessly, thinking to himself, Pei Shu’er smiled so beautifully, and she hadn’t smiled at anyone else like this. Perhaps it wasn’t unforgivable that she saved it for last for him.
As the warmth from the hand warmer spread to his fingertips, he felt a warmth in his heart.
Glancing at the large bundle on Pei Shu’er’s back, he felt a bit uneasy, reaching out toward her. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Wanting to take her stuff off her back.
But Pei Shu’er dodged aside in alarm, "No need, your wound hasn’t healed completely yet."
In fact, it was because if she let Tang Zan have the bundle, what if he discovered something?
Don’t be fooled by the large bundle.
In reality, it’s filled with cotton.
Otherwise, it’d be too tiring to carry.
