Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

The corners of Lu Ziren's mouth curled up slightly, and he looked gentle and harmless, but the words he said made Li Cuihua tremble with fear.

"Do you know why I did this to him?"

Lu Ziren continued to speak in a gentle and calm tone.

Li Cuihua shook her head in fear. Every time Lu Ziren spoke, she felt as if all the strength in her body was drained away. She was under Lu Ziren's naked gaze. Lu Ziren's eyes seemed to have knives that could cut her into pieces.

"The punishment he received was considered light because he was only an accomplice. I know you are the mastermind behind this." Lu Ziren snapped his fingers and said nonchalantly.

"Of course, an accomplice can be given a lighter sentence, but you are the principal offender. Let me think about how to punish you."

Lu Ziren stood in front of Li Cuihua. Li Cuihua felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her, so heavy that she could not breathe. The words Lu Ziren said were obviously very ordinary. She had heard exactly the same words from Xu, but they were far from as frightening as what Lu Ziren said in person in front of her.

Li Cuihua was so frightened that all the pores on her body stood up and she couldn't help but shiver.

Lu Ziren didn't dare to touch her. If he did, his whole family would suffer.

"Are you thinking of killing someone and breaking the law? I dare not touch you. Originally, yes, but you just signed a death warrant. I have the power to execute you. Do you think I asked you to sign this just for fun? You can ask the village chief what the death warrant means. From now on, you are at my disposal. I will give you one last chance. Pay the money or pay with your life?"

Lu Ziren's voice was slightly suppressed, so that Li Cuihua dared not refute a word.

She didn't have much money left, and after paying back Xia Yingying, she had no spare money at all. She didn't want to be penniless again.

She took half of the money Xia Yingying gave to Liu Xiucai, and the rest was her hard-earned money, which she hadn't even warmed up yet.

While Li Cuihua was hesitating, Lu Ziren could no longer wait, seeing that Li Cuihua was still unwilling to give in.

"Okay, you think your money is more important than your life, so I will take revenge on you for all the things that happened before. Let you have a taste of what it feels like to be beaten."

Lu Haoran did not take any action, but just gently pressed her painful spot with his fingertips.

Li Cuihua felt like she was being cut into pieces and her whole body was in so much pain. She wanted to scream out loud to relieve the pain, but she couldn't make a sound. The pain became even worse and her whole body was shaking with pain.

It was only at this time that Li Cuihua realized that there had never been any so-called ancestor appearing, and that Lu Ziren was just making things mysterious.

She had never expected Lu Ziren to be so capable, but when she thought of the life and death declaration with her fingerprints pressed, Li Cuihua's face turned even paler. How could she be so stupid to put her life and death in the hands of others so easily?

Since Lu Ziren could easily make her suffer so much that she would rather die than live, he could probably easily finish her off with just a flick of his finger. She was in so much pain that she had no strength left in her body, and her whole body was soaked in cold sweat. She felt a little regretful that she had not agreed to Lu Ziren just now. If she agreed to reconcile now, would there still be a chance? Would Lu Ziren continue to torture her?

Now she couldn't even utter a word because of the pain. Before Li Cuihua fainted, Lu Ziren said to her: "I'll give you one last chance now, do you want to pay me back?"

Li Cuihua was filled with regret now. Although she couldn't move her body, she could still barely nod her head slightly. So she used all her strength, endured the pain all over her body, and nodded heavily, fearing that Lu Ziren didn't know what she meant. She kept rolling her eyes to show that she agreed.

"Take out the money first."

Lu Ziren had no intention of letting Li Cuihua go. Li Cuihua moved her lips and looked speechless. Lu Ziren pressed the mute point to relieve Li Cuihua's mute effect.

Li Cuihua coughed violently as her acupuncture points were untied. Then she felt so much pain that she had no strength left in her body. She didn't even have the strength to scream, and clear saliva kept flowing down her body.

Xu didn't dare to say anything and just acted as a bystander, but after all, the baby came out of her belly, so she still felt a little distressed.

The village chief was also shocked when he saw Lu Ziren's methods. He didn't expect Lu Ziren to be so capable. To deal with people like Li Cuihua, he should use coercive means.

"Mother, please take out the box where I hid the silver. It's in the hole in the wall." Li Cuihua weakly told Xu where she hid the money.

"Okay." Xu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She was relieved that Li Cuihua finally stopped being stubborn.

Xu followed the direction Li Cuihua pointed and took out a box filled with copper coins and a few silver ingots.

That’s so much money!

What did you do earlier? If you had taken it out earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer this. Li Cuihua was indeed good at hiding money. She had never known that Li Cuihua actually had so much money.

But Li Cuihua was really stingy. During this period, Li Cuihua was sick, and she served her like a slave. Li Cuihua was obviously rich, but she only gave her a few copper coins every month. Was she treating a beggar like that? After all, she was Li Cuihua's biological mother.

Xu reluctantly counted out fifteen taels of silver and gave it to Lu Ziren. Except for a few silver ingots, the rest were copper coins, filling a bag. Lu Ziren took the bag and said to Li Cuihua without confirming the amount, "If you want a life and death agreement, give me another two taels of silver, and our feud will end here."

Li Cuihua couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

Wasn't it originally agreed that after the fifteen taels were paid back, the matter would be forgiven?

Why the sudden price increase?

"Don't want to?"

Lu Ziren raised his eyebrows, weighed his purse, and stretched out his hand.

Li Cuihua originally wanted to reject it outright, but thinking about the pain she had just experienced, she gritted her teeth and nodded to Xu.

After Xu counted out another two thousand copper coins for Lu Ziren, Li Cuihua's money box was almost empty.

In addition to getting the money she owed back, she also got interest. Xia Yingying should be happy now, Lu Ziren couldn't help thinking.

"Life and death warrant." Li Cuihua saw that Lu Ziren would not give it to her, and was afraid that he would cheat her, so she asked for it anyway.

Lu Ziren couldn't help but glance at Li Cuihua as if she were a piece of cow dung. He threw the piece of paper that was not important to him on the ground, took the money bag, called the village chief Lu Haoran and Lu Haojie who were in the yard, and left in a cool manner.
