Chapter 805: 806, doomed to die a terrible death (second shift)

Tong Zhi and Mo Fengxu had a Western-style wedding. Dressed in a bright red toast suit, she looked dazzling and delicate, resembling a young lady in her twenties.

Standing beside Mo Fengxu, there was a sense of an uncle with his niece.

That Mo Fengxu, a rough man, could marry a beauty like Tong Zhi was the envy of many.

At the wedding, some even teased that Mo Fengxu was like an old cow eating tender grass.

Others remarked that Tong Zhi was like a fresh flower planted in cow dung.

Mo Fengxu, undisturbed, openly stated that marrying Tong Zhi was a blessing he had cultivated over three lifetimes.

Tong Zhi chuckled and poked Mo Fengxu’s head, "Look at you, playing the fool!"

Mo Fengxu continued to smile good-naturedly.

The couple walked up to the main table.

Chu Jin poured a glass of drink, stood up, and raised her glass, "Aunt Tong, Uncle Mo, I wish you a long life together, hearts forever united, and everlasting happiness."

Chu Jin was now six months pregnant, her belly very noticeable, but her limbs remained slim, not a single spot on her clear and delicate face, her skin so smooth and tender like that of a freshly peeled egg, pale as snow. Aside from her belly, there wasn’t a single trait typical of a pregnant woman on her.

Being a pregnant woman but only showing it in her belly made many female peers green with envy.

"Thank you, Jin, please sit down, sit," Tong Zhi immediately invited Chu Jin to sit down. Chu Jin was now Mo family’s top priority for protection. It was a critical time, and nothing untoward could happen.

Chu Jin sipped her drink and then sat down.

Mo Zhixuan also stood up, his well-wishes simple, "Happy marriage." After saying that, he drained his glass and was about to sit down when Tong Zhi stopped him, "Zhixuan, you think to get off so easily? Jin is pregnant and can’t touch alcohol. So, you’ll have to drink her share as well!"

Tong Zhi was dead set on tricking her big nephew.

Mo Zhixuan smiled and said, "Fair enough. But since Aunt Tong and Uncle Mo are the stars today, shouldn’t you lead by drinking three glasses first?"

As soon as he said this, Duanmu Zhe, Zhou Xunian, and the other youngsters immediately began clapping and chanting, "Drink three glasses! Drink three glasses! Drink three glasses!"

Tong Zhi and Mo Fengxu were elders, and on ordinary days the younger ones couldn’t tease them too much. But on their wedding day, the youngsters were not going to let this chance slip away.

Chu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly, Mr. Mo was indeed as sly as ever.

The crowd was getting rowdy, so Tong Zhi and Mo Fengxu had no choice but to drink three glasses.

But after that, Mo Zhixuan didn’t let them off the hook. He continued, "Aunt Tong, Uncle Mo, you really can hold your liquor! Now, let me toast to you. One glass for me, three for you." Saying that, Mo Zhixuan downed his glass in one gulp.

Tong Zhi and Mo Fengxu silently poured out three more glasses of strong liquor. After downing six glasses, Tong Zhi’s cheeks were slightly flushed, and she secretly decided never to provoke this big nephew so lightly again!

This man was utterly inhumane! He didn’t spare even his own aunt and uncle!

By the time the wedding was over, it was already past ten at night. Mo Zhixuan took Chu Jin and left early, while the elder Mrs. Mo and Zhao Yan stayed behind to see off some of the guests.

The next day, Tong Zhi and Mo Fengxu took two infants on a honeymoon trip, planning to visit every country around the globe.

They wouldn’t return for a year and a half, so before leaving, Tong Zhi and Mo Fengxu brought their two-month-old babies to the imperial palace to say farewell to everyone.

The two babies slept quietly in the stroller, not crying or fussing, amusing themselves contently.

"Jin, I’m really sorry that I won’t be able to be with you when you give birth," Tong Zhi said guiltily as she sat on the sofa, looking at Chu Jin.

A month ago, Tong Zhi could never have imagined such a significant change in her life.

She had a husband and two adorable children.

"Aunt Tong, it’s okay, your being there wouldn’t make a difference; the pain will still come when it comes," Chu Jin said with a light smile. "If you could take the pain for me, I would definitely keep you here no matter what."

"This is a gift I prepared for the two babies." Tong Zhi took out two pure gold longevity locks. The designs were quite ordinary, but they were surrounded by spiritual energy. Worn over time, they could enhance immunity and drive away evil spirits, truly a rare treasure.

"Thank you, Aunt Tong. You’ve put a lot of thought into this," Chu Jin said, taking the gift and expressing her gratitude.

The child wasn’t even born yet, and Chu Jin had already received a pile of little gifts.

"It’s what I should do as an aunt, no need for thanks," Tong Zhi patted Chu Jin’s hand.

Mo Qingyi teased from the side, "Aunt Tong, you really are biased. Now that you have grandnephews, you’ve forgotten about your niece."

"Not at all, you have something too," Tong Zhi said with a smile, handing over a gift box. "Qingyi, I might not be able to attend your wedding with Little Zhe, so this is the wedding gift I’ve prepared for you both."

Missing such a significant event was indeed a pity for Tong Zhi.

But, a wedding happens only once in a lifetime, and Tong Zhi didn’t want to miss this honeymoon.

She had already missed too much in her life.

This time, she wanted to make up for all the regrets she missed in the past.

"There’s really something for me?" Mo Qingyi’s eyes sparkled with surprise. She had mentioned it casually, never expecting that Tong Zhi would really prepare something for her.

"Of course," Tong Zhi said with a smile, "you’re my only great-niece, who else would I prepare it for? Quick, open it and see if it’s pretty?"

Mo Qingyi immediately opened the gift box, and from within, a brilliant light burst forth.

Her eyes were filled with astonishment.

Inside the gift box was a complete set of diamond jewelry.

From earrings to a necklace, rings, bracelets, and anklets.

Under the shine of the crystal lights, the diamonds sparkled with a multicolored brilliance, almost blinding to behold.

All of these items together were worth as much as an entire city.

As Tong Zhi’s only great-niece, naturally, Mo Qingyi’s wedding could not be anything but high-profile. The more her maternal family valued Mo Qingyi, the less her in-laws dared to slight her.

Mo Qingyi felt her hands trembling. "Aunt Tong, isn’t this gift a bit too much?"

The diamonds were nearly blinding her.

Unlike the diamonds of the secular world, the diamonds of the Superpower World were extremely precious. Tong Zhi had given a complete set of diamond jewelry, making Mo Qingyi feel overwhelmed by such favor.

"Not at all, not at all," Tong Zhi patted Mo Qingyi’s hand, "just keep it well."

Hearing this, Mo Qingyi was no longer pretentious, "Then, thank you, Aunt Tong."

In the blink of an eye, another month passed.

During these two months, the Shen family could be said to have gone through earth-shattering changes.

Situ Ya was pregnant with Shen Liangxiao’s child.

Since Li Rulan went to prison, her relationship with Shen Liangxiao had automatically dissolved. She, under Situ Ya’s identity, had successfully registered their marriage with Shen Liangxiao, and now, Situ Ya was the matriarch of the Shen family.

Every member of the Shen family had to live by watching Situ Ya’s mood.

Although Shen Liangxiao was having a child late in life, his health was deteriorating day by day, and now, he could only lie in bed every day, subsisting on traditional Chinese medicine.

Situ Ya, with her barely noticeable pregnant belly, walked up to Shen Liangxiao and said with a smile, "Liangxiao, look, this is our child."

"Get out!" Shen Liangxiao grabbed a vase from the bedside table and hurled it forcefully at Situ Ya. His murky eyes were filled with remorse.

It was as if the past affection was nothing but a fleeting dream.

"Liangxiao, what’s wrong with you? Why are you getting so angry all of a sudden?" Situ Ya gracefully dodged the vase, her lips curved into a smile as she looked at Shen Liangxiao. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with confusion and yet also a hint of triumph.

Shen Liangxiao was now paralyzed on one side, his eyes and mouth askew, even his speech was not clear, "W-whore, whore! You get out! Get out!"

At this moment, Shen Liangxiao never expected that he would end up like this.

That he would be manipulated to such an extent by a whore who had been ridden by thousands!

If he could, he would have loved to flay Situ Ya alive! Otherwise, it would not quench the hatred in his heart.

No wonder there’s an old saying: "People change."

Even if Li Rulan was not good, at least she was sincere towards the Shen family and had never done anything to harm him!

But this whore, Situ Ya! In just two months, she had already shown her true colors, completely disgraceful!

"Get out? Liangxiao, what nonsense are you talking?" Situ Ya laughed softly, "I’m now your wife, and you’re not dead yet, how can I leave? I have to watch you die with my own eyes before I can leave. Guess how you will die in the end? Will it be from illness, old age, or... starvation?"

At this, Situ Ya burst into hearty laughter, "Haha, Shen Liangxiao, you’ve been proud all your life. Who would have thought you’d end up like this? Let me tell you, man proposes, God disposes. It’s not that you won’t be punished; it’s just that the time hasn’t come! Now! Your retribution is here! Just accept it!"

Shen Liangxiao glared viciously at Situ Ya, his words slurred from his unclear speech, "Whore, you whore! You won’t die a good death!" Shen Liangxiao’s current state was very bad.

Due to his paralysis, he relieved himself in bed, and now, even the lower half of his body had begun to fester and secrete pus.

But to Situ Ya observing him, her eyes revealed only satisfaction, with not a hint of sympathy.

He deserved it!

All of this was the karmic retribution of Shen Liangxiao.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Situ Ya immediately switched to another expression, as if changing faces, she walked to Shen Liangxiao’s side, adjusted the blanket for him and spoke with reddened eyes, "Liangxiao, rest assured, no matter what it takes, I will cure your illness! You mustn’t give up on yourself!"

Shen Liangxiao knew that Situ Ya was putting on another act. He flailed his hands as much as he could, trying to strangle Situ Ya, mumbling incoherently.

Situ Ya cried out, "Liangxiao, you must hold on, if anything happens to you, how are we mother and son supposed to live..."

The footsteps outside grew clearer and clearer, and Situ Ya cried louder and louder.

In this way, Situ Ya once again appeared utterly harmless, and anyone unaware of the truth would think her relationship with Shen Liangxiao was genuinely affectionate.

No one would have thought that it was Situ Ya who had brought Shen Liangxiao to this day.

Shen Liangxiao only wished he could speak now.

A servant carrying herbal medicine walked in from outside, "Madame, it’s time for the master to take his medicine."

With the demeanor of a virtuous wife, Situ Ya said, "Leave it there, I’ll do it. The master is having an episode again, I’m afraid he might accidentally hurt you." As she spoke, Situ Ya’s gaze fell upon the shattered vase debris on the floor.

The servants were also terrified, ever since Shen Liangxiao fell ill over a month ago and became extremely temperamental, lashing out and hitting people at the slightest provocation! Hence, the servants were quite afraid of him.

So, it was Situ Ya who looked after his daily needs all by herself.

Situ Ya was still so young, it really was hard on her!

Shen Liangxiao stared straight at the servant, trying to expose Situ Ya’s crimes, but the only sounds he could make were incoherent noises that no one but Situ Ya could understand.

"Bitch! Situ Ya is a bitch!"

Shen Liangxiao, confined to his bed for many days, had been tormented beyond recognition, and at this moment his struggling made his face even more gruesome.

The servant dared not take another glance, and after setting down the herbal medicine, quickly ran away!

Only Situ Ya could endure it, if she were in her place, she could never serve such a vile person.

What the servant didn’t know was that Situ Ya had never looked after Shen Liangxiao.

In the month that Shen Liangxiao had been bedridden, his clothes and bedding had never been changed. Knowing that he had been confined to his bed for all his needs, one could only imagine the state underneath the bedding.

If it were possible, Shen Liangxiao would rather die than continue to endure such torment.

After the servant left, Situ Ya picked up the bowl of medicine and approached Shen Liangxiao, scooped up a spoonful of the herbal decoction to his lips, "Want to drink?"

Shen Liangxiao eagerly opened his mouth; he wanted to take the medicine, he needed to recover quickly! And then kill this bitch Situ Ya!

Shen Liangxiao continued to wriggle to the side, "Please, give me... give me the medicine..."

Situ Ya laughed mockingly, simply watching Shen Liangxiao as one might watch a pitiful worm.

"What goes around comes around. Now it’s your turn to beg me! How does it feel, this desperation of being unable to drink your medicine?"

Shen Liangxiao looked at the bowl of medicine, "Give it to me... I want the medicine..."

Just as Shen Liangxiao reached out his hand toward the bowl, Situ Ya stood up and poured the medicine from the spoon directly into the trash bin in front of him.

"My medicine... my medicine..." Witnessing his lifesaving medicine being poured into the trash, Shen Liangxiao shed tears of despair.

"Shen Liangxiao, you must be quite desperate now!" The corners of Situ Ya’s mouth twisted into a sneering arc, "Do you know that my mother was more desperate than you are now? She suffered even more than you are suffering now!"

At those words, Shen Liangxiao looked up at Situ Ya as if he was trying hard to remember who exactly Situ Ya was!

Situ Ya had mentioned her mother.

Then, he must have had some sort of affair with her mother.

Situ Ya’s mother was a prostitute, and even though Shen Liangxiao owed many debts of passion outside, he never meddled with prostitutes!

The status of a prostitute simply wasn’t worthy of him!

Could it be that Situ Ya had found the wrong person and was seeking revenge on the wrong man?

"I don’t know your mother, I don’t recognize her, you must have made a mistake... a mistake! Let me go quickly, let me have the medicine, let me drink the medicine..." Shen Liangxiao struggled ceaselessly on the bed, and with his movements, he lifted a stench so foul that no amount of bedding could suppress it.

It was a disgusting smell.

It permeated the air, nauseating.

Situ Ya looked at Shen Liangxiao, her mouth curling up in a cold smile, "You want the medicine, right? Well then, I’ll let you have enough of it!"

With that, she picked up the bowl and poured the medicine right onto Shen Liangxiao’s face.

Shen Liangxiao opened his mouth wide, trying to catch some of the medicine, but he didn’t catch a drop.

A decade ago, her mother died a tragic death.

A death far worse than what Shen Liangxiao was experiencing now.

Shen Liangxiao got what he deserved.

"Let me go..." Shen Liangxiao looked at Situ Ya with pleading eyes.

Situ Ya simply watched Shen Liangxiao, her eyes resembling those of someone looking at a pitiful creature.

"Let you go?" Situ Ya gently curled her lips, "Shen Liangxiao, your good days have just begun. How could I possibly let you go?" Although Situ Ya wore a smile on her face, there was not a trace of warmth in her eyes.

The aura bursting forth from her body was vastly different from her usual lolita-like facade.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Shen Liangxiao’s tears were already streaming down in fear.

"I want you dead!" Situ Ya glared at Shen Liangxiao fiercely, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

As she spoke, Situ Ya chuckled softly before continuing, "Shen Liangxiao, you must have never experienced the taste of hunger, right? Perhaps, I should let you die slowly from starvation, how about that?"

To let scum like Shen Liangxiao die too quickly would be to let him off easy! He deserved to be tormented slowly to death!

At this moment, Shen Liangxiao was utterly powerless to resist.

He could only be at the mercy of others.

Situ Ya looked at Shen Liangxiao, her lips slowly curling up.

Shen father’s illness grew more and more severe, tormented daily by sickness and hunger.

If he had a knife, he would not hesitate to choose death.

On this day, Shen Haoguang was released from prison upon completing his sentence.

As soon as Shen Haoguang returned home, he saw Situ Ya watching TV in the living room. He rushed over and held Situ Ya in his arms, "Ya Ya, I’ve missed you so much!"

At this time, he was unaware of the recent changes in the Shen family.

Nor did he notice the strange man standing beside Situ Ya.

The man stood up and knocked down Shen Haoguang with a punch, "Where did this worthless cur come from! How dare you be disrespectful to the madam!"

Shen Haoguang was utterly shocked; the punch left him dizzy and disoriented, kneeling on the ground and looking at Situ Ya with disbelief, "Ya Ya, what’s going on? What did he just call you?"

The title of "madam" had always belonged to Li Rulan, so why had it suddenly become Situ Ya?

Shen Haoguang feared to think any further.

His Situ Ya was definitely not that kind of person.

"Ya Ya?" Shen Haoguang’s gaze was fixed on Situ Ya, he desperately needed an answer now.

Why had things turned out this way?

Situ Ya crouched down, looking at Shen Haoguang with a sweet-smiling face, her tone sugary, "My good son, I forgot to tell you something. Shen Liangxiao and I have received our marriage certificate, so, from now on, you must call me mom."

Situ Ya still looked harmless, but it made Shen Haoguang feel endless chill. He couldn’t believe what he was witnessing and almost thought he was hallucinating.

Situ Ya was his woman, how could she end up with his own father?

How could things have turned out this way?

Shen Haoguang swallowed hard, smiling, "Ya Ya, tell me you’re just joking, right? This joke is not funny at all! Ya Ya, where’s dad?"

Shen Haoguang still couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

Situ Ya was the woman he loved most in his life!

She would never betray him.

She simply couldn’t.

Suddenly, Situ Ya stood up, her sweet and cute demeanor changing as she laughed coldly, "My dear son, your mom isn’t joking, oh, and by the way, I should tell you one more thing. This villa has been mortgaged by me. You’d better move out before the bank comes to take the house!"

These days, Situ Ya had transferred all the Shen family’s assets, real estate, and company shares into her name. The Shen family had now become nothing more than an empty shell.

Shen Liangxiao’s life wouldn’t last too many more days either, and once he died, the marriage would be automatically annulled, and then, she could immediately regain her freedom.

Situ Ya had achieved her goal, so there was no longer any need to hide in front of Shen Haoguang.

If only she had known how easy it was to seduce Shen Liangxiao, she wouldn’t have wasted so much time and resources on Shen Haoguang! Seven whole years! An enormous investment of her effort and money!

But at least now she could reclaim it all!

"Ya Ya!" Shen Haoguang grabbed Situ Ya’s calf, crying out, "Ya Ya, don’t leave, tell me this is all fake! Ya Ya, you love me so much! You wouldn’t betray me, would you!"
