Coming of the Villain Boss! Chapter 681 - Liu Qing and Cheng Gui (28)

The man left. Qin Ling seemed a little disappointed but relieved too. She quickly got rid of these thoughts. There was something more important to settle now.

Ah Lu’s news came faster than Qin Ling’s attendants.

The person that got the rashes was a gambler. He had almost lost everything he had.

Ah Lu caught the person. Ming Shu didn’t ask Qin Ling to go. She went to interrogate the person personally.

The mastermind that bribed him was none other than Liu Xinyue.

Ming Shu asked the person to think of a way to clear up the situation tomorrow. If he didn’t do it, she would kill him.

Since he was caught so suddenly, the person didn’t dare to reject her. He confirmed profusely that he would clarify the issue.

How could Liu Xinyue go against a villain like Ming Shu? After failing many times, she didn’t dare to do anything anymore. Her shop was facing problems too.

First, her compet.i.tors lowered their prices. Then, people came to her shop to look for trouble.

These methods were the same as the ones she used on Qin Ling.

Liu Xinyue knew that Ming Shu did all this. Every time something happened, she would appear as though she was afraid that Liu Xinuye wouldn’t know who did it.

But she didn’t have evidence…

The lowering of prices was done by her compet.i.tors. The people that came to look for trouble were hired by her compet.i.tors too. It had nothing to do with Ming Shu.

In order to protect her only a.s.sets, Liu Xinyue didn’t dare to provoke Ming Shu head-on anymore.

In the town, Mister Zhou was the leader. Ming Shu was an Infanta and Cheng Gui was a lord. Their statuses were both much higher than Mister Zhou’s. If she continued to provoke them, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

Just as Liu Xinyue was vexed, something happened to Li Shen.

Once Li Shen had money, he lived in the world of wine and women. He kept going to brothels and in the end, he was infected with smallpox.

Liu Xinyue sneered. She arranged for the woman to be there. She expected this ending.

Li Shen’s mother found many physicians to treat Li Shen’s, illness but in this era where medical science was still lagging, there was no way he could be cured.

When Li Shen learned that he was infected with smallpox, his temper got worse. He would beat people whenever he was unhappy. After discovering that he had no hope of recovering, he got bolder.

Not long after, he got addicted to gambling and gambled all day long.

When he had no money, he would look for Liu Xinyue. If she didn’t give him any, he would hit her. Liu Xinyue hired people to protect hers, but Li Shen would find people too. In the end, she was still beaten up.

For matters like this, there was no use reporting it to the officials. They would not care about it since no one died.

At the start, Li Shen only asked for cash. However, when there was no more cash, he sold off the Liu family’s t.i.tle deeds.

He found these t.i.tle deeds when he searched the Liu residence after he moved in. He kept them with him ever since then.

“Li Shen, are you crazy! If you sold off these t.i.tle deeds, what will we do in the future!” Liu Xinyue grabbed Li Shen and prevented him from leaving. “Return those deeds to me. They are mine!”

“Yours? They are mine!” Li Shen pushed Liu Xinyue away. “Since you don’t give me money, I can only sell these t.i.tle deeds.”

Liu Xinyue fell onto the ground. Her eyes turned red and she shouted in anger, “You b.a.s.t.a.r.d Li Shen! Give me back my t.i.tle deeds!”

“Let go!” Li Shen kicked Liu Xinyue away irritatedly.

Li Shen took the t.i.tle deeds and left. Liu Xinyue chased after him but he was already gone.

She could not stay here anymore. She needed to leave…

As long as she was alive, there would still be hope. She would definitely come back and take her revenge.

Just as Liu Xinyue was packing up, Li Shen came back. He brought two men with him.

“What are you all doing?” Liu Xinyue looked at them vigilantly.

“Where are you going?” Li Shen’s face was dark. Rashes had already appeared on his face and he looked really scary. “Are you trying to run away?”

Liu Xinyue grabbed the bag beside her and dashed out.

“F**k, you still dare to run!” Li Shen blocked Liu Xinyue and pushed her forcefully. “From today onwards, you will stay in this room. You are not allowed to go anywhere else.”

Li Shen locked the door.

Liu Xinyue was devastated. She climbed up from the floor and pounded on the door furiously.

“Li Shen, let me out. You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, let me out…” She wanted to leave this place. She should have left this place from the start.

She regretted it.

Li Shen’s mother’s shouting sounded outside the door. All kinds of curse words came out. Li Hua would shout occasionally too.

Liu Xinyue grabbed the door tightly. Her nails broke due to the force.

Li Shen gambled away the Liu family’s a.s.sets really quickly. Liu Xinyue was locked up in her room all day. She tried various ways to get out but never succeeded.

In the end, Li Shen’s mother only gave her a little bit of food every day. Sometimes, there wouldn’t be any food and she was so hungry she didn’t have the energy to run away.

Most of the servants in the Liu residence had run away. The Liu residence was so empty it seemed as though no one lived there.

Boom!

The door was kicked open and sunlight shone in. The glare from the sunlight made Liu Xinyue tear up. She saw someone coming in.

“This is her. How about it? She is the princess of the Liu family. Look at her skin and her body. If you dress her up, she will look really good.”

Li Shen was sweet-talking someone.

Liu Xinyue’s heart started pounding furiously. Her eyes got used to the light.

She saw Li Shen bowing down. A big man was standing in front of her and sizing her up as if she was an object.

“This is not enough to repay your debt.” The man sneered.

Li Shen took out two t.i.tle deeds from his sleeve hurriedly. He only wanted to give one away but the man grabbed both of them. “This is much better.”

“Li Shen… what are you doing?” Liu Xinyue suddenly had energy and she pounced at Li Shen. She grabbed his elbow and sank her nails into his flesh. “What are you doing! What have you done!”

The man pa.s.sed the t.i.tle deeds to the person behind him. He smiled coldly and said, “He sold you. This way please, First Young Lady Liu.”

“No…”

“Take her away.”

Liu Xinyue was dragged away. Li Shen kept smiling at the man and didn’t even look at Liu Xinyue. He ignored her cursing too.

“Li Shen, you will die a terrible death!”

Liu Xinyue was stuffed into a dilapidated horse carriage. She was forced to drink a cup of water and became unconscious thereafter.

Ming Shu heard that Li Shen sold Liu Xinyue away and specially went to look for her. However, she never saw Liu Xinyue again. Her Hatred Points were not full and she didn’t find Liu Xinyue. All she could do was suspect that Cheng Gui had killed her.

But, Cheng Gui pretended to be innocent.

He pretended that he didn’t know anything.

In the end, Li Shen lost the Liu residence too. His illness was getting worse. Li Shen’s mother and Li Hua were afraid that they would get infected too so they left him.

When Li Shen died, no one came to collect his corpse.

The village head was the one that couldn’t take it anymore and forced Li Shen’s mother to collect the corpse. Li Shen’s mother felt that she didn’t get to enjoy much. The wealth that was in her hands disappeared in just a moment. She was really unhappy about it. Hence, she hated Li Shen.

When the village head asked her to collect the corpse, she threw him in the common burial grounds.

Maybe she was being punished for her evil deeds, but on her way back, she slipped on the ground and was blinded.

Li Hua broke her arms. Li Shen’s mother was blind. They kept quarrelling everyday and their lives were really pitiful.
