My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 84 - 81: The Truth [Request for Monthly Ticket]_2

Han Zhuo was terrified by the sudden scene, scampering and crawling to the door.

He tried to escape through the door, but it was as if the door were nailed shut. Despite using all his strength, he couldn't open even a sliver.

Inside the ancestral hall, a fog had formed out of nowhere, carrying a tendrilling chill that made Han Zhuo shiver uncontrollably.

His gaze turned to the simple wooden bed—only a white cloth remained. He abruptly turned his head, only to find his deceased mother, who was suspended in the air three feet beside him, her eyes rolled up, face bluish, tongue sticking out, with a distinct purple strangulation mark on her neck...

"You unfilial son..."

A hollow, ancient voice, as if coming from the Nine Netherworld, made Han Zhuo's body tremble uncontrollably.

Matricide was a capital offense, and he had been living in fear, having nightmares almost every night for the past few days.

This scene utterly collapsed his already frail mental defenses.

He knelt on the ground, kowtowing and wailing, "Mother, you cannot blame me, all of this was for the Han Family. Without your death, Qianqian would not marry me, and when would our Han Family ever become prominent...

Besides, it was your own wish to support me. Please rest in peace, I will burn many offerings for you every year!"

"You fucking beast!"

The ancient voice suddenly became younger. Before Han Zhuo could react, a severe pain struck his chest.

He was hurled from the hall, smashing through the door and flying into the yard, crashing down heavily, clutching his chest as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth...

Li Nuo, hidden behind the ancestral hall, was startled by Li Anning's sudden fury.

He ran into the yard and found Han Zhuo had fainted, surrounded by a large pool of blood he had vomited.

That kick was not light at all.

Compared to the princess, Li Nuo suddenly felt his wife was quite gentle.

Swoosh!

A sharp noise came from behind. Li Nuo turned and saw that Li Anning had drawn County Captain Wang's scabbard.

Watching her approach fiercely, seemingly ready to chop Han Zhuo to death, Li Nuo quickly grabbed her arm, urging, "Miss Li, don't be impulsive, please think it through..."

This man indeed was a despicable beast, but he had not yet been tried. If he died now, Li Nuo's efforts today would be in vain.

Eventually, Li Anning calmed down, threw the long knife to the ground, still visibly furious, she continued cursing, "Beast, this beast..."

Han Zhuo was indeed a beast, calling him one was an insult to beasts.

Crows feed their parents and lambs kneel to suckle; even beasts understand such principles, but some people do not.

"His mother, in order to clear his suspicions, committed suicide seven days after he left home. Who can imagine how she suffered those seven days? Before her suicide, she even found excuses, bought medicine, and informed her neighbors, just to avert our suspicion from him—she tried to exonerate him until her death, this beast, how could he bear it!"

Li Anning became angrier as she spoke, her body trembling uncontrollably. Li Nuo, genuinely afraid for her health, gently patted her back, saying, "Don't be angry, it's not worth ruining your health over this beast..."

...

Earlier, when sending for Han Zhuo, Li Nuo had already made some arrangements.

He had deliberately instructed Han Zhuo's coachman to slow down and take a detour so that they could arrive first and prepare ahead of time.

Actually, there wasn't much to arrange; Housekeeper Wu was at the Fourth Realm of Martial Path, using True Qi to control the opening and closing of the door and to manipulate the corpse to perform some simple actions, which was very straightforward.

As for the smoke, it was merely dry ice.

Li Nuo and Li Anning had designed several scenarios, thinking it would require more effort, but Han Zhuo, haunted by his own guilt, confessed almost immediately before they could use most of their planned tactics...

With both the main officials of Chang'an County Government present along with the Princess, having witnessed and heard everything themselves, convicting him required no further evidence.

Moments later, the unconscious Han Zhuo was dragged away by two government officials.

Pei Zhe looked deeply at Li Nuo and said from the bottom of his heart, "Truly worthy of being a young master, to detect that there was something amiss with him at a glance..."

Li Anning had somewhat recovered by then, and looking at Li Nuo, incredulously asked, "Did you really see those signs in his eyes and then guessed that his mother's death was orchestrated by him?"

She had been a Law Practitioner for many years, solved countless cases, and yet had not acquired such a skill.

Not even the Assistant Minister or the Chief of Staff could achieve that.

She was truly curious about how he did it.

Before Li Nuo could respond, Pei Zhe spoke, "What's so surprising about that? Last time, in that murder case, there were over two hundred suspects. Young master didn't visit the crime scene, hadn't understood the case details, nor had he interrogated any suspects. He just used his eyes and picked the murderer out of the two hundred, that's nothing compared to this..."

Li Anning was even more astounded and blurted out, "Are you serious?"

Pei Zhe swept his sleeve, "What status do I hold, would I deceive you?"

Then he advised her, "Young girl, you're not very old but have a big temper, and being a government officer, it's best if you change this violent temper. If you end up killing a criminal, you can't escape responsibility; losing your job is the least of your worries, losing your life would be worse..."
