"Miss, it's time to take medicine."

The voice of the maid Xiaotao rang in my ears.

Qin Shu's wandering soul slowly returned to its place.

She opened her eyes with difficulty, and her blurry vision gradually became clear after a long time.

Qin Shu's maid Xiaotao, wearing a pink jacket and apricot-white skirt, was standing in front of the couch.

She had her hair combed like a woman, painted her eyebrows and eyes, and put on lipstick.

It is the only bright spot in this dilapidated and gray west wing.

Qin Shu's pale and withered face was abnormally blue, and her dry and messy hair was piled on top of her head like a bunch of weeds.

The thin quilt on his body felt like a burnt pancake, and his hands exposed outside were numb from the cold.

She said weakly: "You, give me a hand..."

Xiao Tao felt dizzy from the unpleasant smell on Qin Shu. She covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and looked at her with disgust for a while before she walked forward, grabbed Qin Shu's collar and lifted her up from the couch.

Then he picked up the bowl, handed it to Qin Shu's mouth, and poured the medicine into her mouth like he was feeding an animal.

Qin Shu didn't care about the heat and drank the medicine in a few gulps.

As Xiaotao's hand loosened, Qin Shu fell back onto the couch with a "thump".

The vibrations in the body triggered the coughing again.

Qin Shu coughed and bent over, and a stream of warm liquid sprayed onto her hand that was covering her lips as she coughed.

She raised her hand tremblingly, the blood on her palm was glaring red.

Qin Shu's heart sank.

Thinking of her, Qin Shu, she was once the pampered daughter of the richest man in Jinzhou. She was a lady who ordered servants around and lived in luxury.

She couldn't understand how she ended up like this.

The door was pushed open again, and a man in a fine cotton robe walked in.

When Xiao Tao saw this, she immediately broke into a charming smile and walked over with her waist twisted. "Master, why are you here?"

The visitor let Xiaotao put her arm around his and asked, "Did she drink the medicine?"

Xiao Tao smiled proudly while pinching her handkerchief, "I drank it. I drank it myself."

Qin Shu finally stopped coughing, looked at the two of them, and asked weakly: "You, you...this medicine..."

The person who came was her husband Liu Baocai.

Xiao Tao giggled, "Miss, you are such a fool. Have you ever thought about why your body is becoming less and less useful?"

She lowered her voice, leaned in front of Qin Shu and whispered, "Because what you drank was the poison given to me by the Second Master. The Second Master said that it would only take two years, without anyone knowing, for the young lady to go see the Master and his wife."

Qin Shu spat out large mouthfuls of blood, struggling and saying with difficulty: "You, are not afraid... are not afraid..."

Xiao Tao rolled her eyes quickly, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that you will sue us? Or are you afraid that the master and his wife will get up from the coffin and punish us for you? Oh, I see, you mean that your stepbrother will come to hold you accountable?"

Liu Baocai pinched Xiaotao's face and said with a smug smile, "It's okay to tell her. Qin, do you really think that your stepbrother who was adopted by your father can support you? His family moved to the capital half a year ago and used your family's money to buy a big house."

He looked at Qin Shu's pale face with disdain and said disdainfully: "If my aunt hadn't asked me to destroy your innocence and promised me one thousand taels of silver and thirty-six loads of dowry, do you think I would be willing to marry a piece of wood like you?"

Liu Baocai held Xiao Tao in his arms and kissed her hard on the mouth, "You are not as good as my Xiao Tao, who is well-behaved and lovely."

Xiao Tao patted Liu Baocai's chest coquettishly, "Oh, Master, you are so annoying!"

Qin Shu was filled with sorrow and closed her eyes gently.

No wonder!

When she was in her boudoir, she was always in very good health and rarely caught a cold.

But since she married into the Liu family, she has been sick once every three days and coughed once every five days.

In less than two years, this body quickly decayed like the leaky thatched house.

Two months ago, he became bedridden.

Now, he is barely alive, like a candle in the wind that will disappear in the blink of an eye...

She is only seventeen years old this year!

The aunt Liu Baocai mentioned is her good second aunt.

In the winter of the year before last, her parents passed away, and her second uncle and second aunt moved into her house openly under the pretext of doing good for her.

On the 57th day after her parents' cremation, she went to the temple to perform rituals for them. When she was using the toilet, Liu Baocai broke in.

Second Aunt said: Her nephew is diligent in study and has a good temper, and he fell in love with her at first sight...

Second Aunt said: The Cheng family knew about this, and because of the relationship between their fathers, they said that they could marry a girl from the Qin family, as long as it was not Qin Shu...

Second Aunt said: Her cousin Baoyi married into the Cheng family for her in order to clear her name. Otherwise, everyone would be curious about the reason why the Cheng family broke off the engagement, and her reputation would be ruined.

Second Aunt said: The Cheng family is wealthy and powerful, and without a dowry, my cousin will have a hard time living in the Cheng family.

Second Aunt said: Her parents are gone, and Second Uncle and Second Aunt are Qin Shu's only relatives. When her cousin has a good life in the future, she will definitely not forget to help her...

Second Aunt said:

After Second Aunt said so much, Qin Shu only now felt that every word was a calculation!

They were after her wealth, her marriage, and her dowry.

Finally, he murdered her!
