After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law

After two glasses of wine, Zhou Jiaoling and Zhu Jingzhong both felt exhausted and fell asleep in their clothes. After a few breaths, Zhou Jiaoling slowly opened her eyes, turned her head and said silently to Zhu Jingzhong:

"I cannot stay with my husband until old age in this life. I have no way to repay your kindness to me. I can only walk with you across the Naihe Bridge."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Jingzhong suddenly opened his eyes and said "hmm" softly.

Zhou Jiaoling was so scared that cold sweat broke out on the back of her back.

Zhu Jingzhong said, "The night you sent Qingyao away, you thought this day would come. You didn't abandon me, which is my blessing in this life."

As he spoke, Zhu Jingzhong grasped Zhou Jiaoling's hand and comforted her, "Whether you live or die, I will be with you. I will never let anyone or evil spirits hurt you, so don't be afraid.

I have already written the suicide note and placed it under Qingyao's pillow. Tomorrow, my elder brother and his wife will definitely send a maid to search for the poison. I will write down that it was me who poisoned you, and ask my elder brother to put you and me in the same coffin. I have always known that you have only gratitude towards me, not love for me, all these years.

But I really like you, and I wanted to let you go several times, but I couldn't bear to do so. Now I am dying, and I have no other selfish motives. I am just afraid that you will not be buried in the same coffin with me. Zhu Xianzhi, that black-hearted man, will dig up your grave after we are buried and throw your body into the wilderness for wild beasts to eat.

I’m also afraid that if you don’t stay in the same coffin with me, we’ll get separated on the road to the underworld, and you’ll be bullied by evil spirits…”

The more Zhu Jingzhong spoke, the lower his voice became. Zhou Jiaoling felt so sad that she burst into tears. Big tears flowed from the corners of her eyes and flowed into her hair.

It was not until her death that Zhou Jiaoling realized that Zhu Jingzhong knew everything.

She wanted to take another look at Zhu Jingzhong, but her eyelids drooped shut, and both of them stopped breathing at the same time.

The red candle burned out, and a streak of paleness appeared in the sky.

It was almost noon when a housekeeper leaned over cautiously outside the window and asked, "Have the master and his wife gotten up?"

After a long time without receiving a response, the old woman did not dare to enter rashly.

As it was getting dark, the housekeeper became more and more uneasy. She knocked on the door several times but no one responded, so she had to break it open and found Zhu Jingzhong and Zhou Jiaoling sleeping peacefully in their wedding dresses.

The old woman suddenly felt something was wrong, and stepped forward to check the two's breathing. She was so frightened that she stepped back repeatedly, fell to the ground, and crawled out of Lanxiang Courtyard, shouting:

"Oh no, oh no, the second master and his wife are dead."

Less than a quarter of an hour later, the Yongning Marquis and his wife hurried to Lanxiang Courtyard and found Zhu Jingzhong's body as cold as ice. They choked with sobs and shouted angrily, "What on earth is going on?"

The housekeeper knelt down tremblingly and said, "I don't know either."

"What use are you? Investigate, find out who poisoned my brother and sister-in-law to death."

The housekeeper who came with the wife of Marquis Yongning found the suicide note under Zhu Qingyao's pillow and handed it to Marquis Yongning. After reading it, Marquis Yongning still shook his head in disbelief.

He said, "My second brother's greatest wish in life is to marry Zhou Jiaoling. Now that his wish has come true, why would he buy poison and take it with Zhou Jiaoling?"

The wife of the Marquis of Yongning walked forward and carefully read the suicide note held by the Marquis of Yongning. After a long while, she sighed and said, "This is my second brother's handwriting. Others can't tell it, but can't you? But this reason is hard for me to accept."

Half an hour later, the red lanterns in the west courtyard of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion were taken down and replaced with white silk.

Because Zhu Jingzhong held Zhou Jiaoling's hand tightly even when he died and could not let go, Marquis Yongning had no choice but to set up Lanxiangyuan as a mourning hall and ordered his followers to go to the coffin shop in person to customize a top-quality coffin for the couple.

Just at this moment, raindrops fell from the sky like fine needles, and the night wind blew, bringing a hint of coolness.

Marquis Yongning held up an oil-paper umbrella, dismissed the old women and servants, and asked his wife to return to the east courtyard.

He closed the gate of Lanxiang Courtyard, and tears began to flow.

He stood in front of the door, looking at Zhu Jingzhong's body, choking for a long time, and then whispered to himself: "Mother died of heavy bleeding during childbirth. In fact, after you were born, I more or less resentful of you.

I have been thinking, if it weren't for you, my mother wouldn't have died, if it weren't for you, my father wouldn't have lost the support of our mother's family and been convicted, our father wouldn't have been demoted to Xuzhou, and I wouldn't have fallen from being a dignified prince to this point...

You have always been smarter than me. In fact... In fact, before my father died, he wanted you to inherit the throne of Marquis Yongning. But you were not the eldest son, so he asked me to give up the throne, but I refused and I got so angry that my father died.

Over the years, I have been using my status as your elder brother to suppress you, making you obey me in every way and ruining your career. I don't want to see you become stronger than me... I don't want to...

That's why you have bad luck, are addicted to alcohol and gambling, and it was also me who secretly bribed the matchmaker to make Lan your legal wife.

But I know that Lan killed Xianrun, I regret it so much! Second brother, do you hate me? I am sorry for you. "

With a plop, Marquis Yongning fell to his knees.

The next day, Yongning Hou sent his followers to fetch Zhu Xianzhi. After waiting for more than an hour, his followers came back and reported:

"The second young master said he is not available, as he has to take up the post of Du Shui Cheng today."

"Asshole! His own father is dead, yet he still has the nerve to say such outrageous words?" Marquis Yongning began to cough and choke.

The wife of the Yongning Marquis was helping the Yongning Marquis calm down, but she fanned the flames by saying, "Can the son raised by Lan Wanshuang have a conscience?

Since Lan Wanshuang married into the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, I have never treated her unfairly, but she took our son's life. "
