Husband-stealing story - Chapter 57
Shen Yuntan paused, his hand holding the cup still: "You knew all that?"
Zi Nu clenched her fist: "Of course I know, but I have conditions..."
“If it really was Tian Shu who killed Tian Xiu, I will help you kill him after we find Tang Shijiu.” Shen Yun said casually, as if he were talking about the simplest thing. “Before that, I need you to do something for me.”
Zi Nu was overjoyed: "This servant is willing to obey your orders, young master."
Shen Yuntan raised his head and pointed to the glossy black Xuanbei sword in the main hall: "Find a way to get that thing over here for me."
For Shen Yuntan, petty theft was beneath his dignity, and murder was not a good option.
Just like for Tang Yu, wearing women's clothing is not a good choice.
The sleeves, twice as wide as her black outfit, and the skirt, which she found to be sloppy and untidy, all made Tang Clan's youngest assassin feel restricted and constrained.
When she tripped over her skirt again, Tang Yu finally couldn't help but curse, "Bastard!"
Coincidentally, Nineteen, who was carrying the medicine, overheard this and shook her head very seriously: "Girls shouldn't say swear words." She said this very seriously, completely forgetting that she was also annoyed and would also say swear words without thinking.
The mother-in-law's house was filled with beautiful clothes and jewelry. In the heart of the old prostitute, who hadn't heard the laughter of young people in a long time, Tang Shijiu's arrival was like the brightest sunshine of spring. Listening to her giggles and watching her slender figure move around the room, she seemed to see her own daughter before her defilement, that captivating figure. She took out all of her daughter's jewelry, asking Shijiu to wear it for her to see. Shijiu felt a little embarrassed, but firstly, she couldn't bear to refuse the old woman's request, and secondly, the jewelry was simply too lovely.
"Good boy, good boy, don't move, sister will help you." Tang Shijiu said with a sly smile, pulling a gold hairpin from her hair. "It will look very nice on Yuyu sister."
Tang Yu took a few steps back, her face filled with fear: "Don't come any closer, don't!"
"Be good, and your sister will love you. Come on, don't be afraid, I promise it won't hurt."
Tang Yu sat on the bed, trying to shrink into the corner. Unfortunately, her injuries were quite severe. Not only was her arm dislocated by Shen Yuntan's grip, but she also had two broken ribs.
As she struggled, the wound aggravated, causing her to wince in pain. Tang Shijiu acted swiftly, firmly securing the hairpin in her hair.
The light blue silk draped gracefully over her body, her slender wrists peeking out from beneath the wide sleeves. Years of martial arts training had given Tang Yu a remarkably beautiful figure, with a straight waist and long legs. If not for her face, she would be a rare beauty.
Nineteen looked at Tang Yu with great satisfaction: "Yu Yu, you are very beautiful."
Tang Yu covered her face, not daring to look in the mirror. Only after hearing what Nineteen said did she remove her hands. However, she only glanced at it quickly before covering her face again.
"It's ugly, it's ugly! Tang Shijiu! If you don't buy me a set of men's clothes today, I'll kill you."
Tang Shijiu laughed smugly: "Come on, show me how to dance. Don't forget, it was I who set your ribs."
Tang Yu remained silent, speechless, gazing at the heavens with tearful eyes.
Upon waking, she was delighted to find her ribs had been set perfectly. But then she heard Nineteen say gleefully:
"Not bad, right? Ah, my skills are impeccable. I even set the leg of the big yellow dog on Xiaoyao Mountain! This is my first time setting a rib, and I didn't expect it to be so successful."
Even so, after lunch, Nineteen still eagerly went to buy men's clothes for Tang Yu. Tang Yu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing her leave, slowly got out of bed, slipped to the mirror, and began to admire herself.
Hmm... women's clothes definitely look much better than men's clothes.
Tang Yu, who had never worn women's clothing before, thought so.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the white porcelain vase on the table. A thought struck her, and she reached out and picked it up.
One, two, three, four...
Not a single antidote was missing from the white porcelain bottle.
Even though they were extremely reluctant to part, the two still had to set off. The old woman held Tang Shijiu's hand, tears streaming down her face. Tang Shijiu repeatedly promised that he would definitely come back to see her after returning from the Tang Clan.
Tang Yu sat in the carriage, silent.
In just one day, it became Tang Shijiu taking care of her.
Tang Yu said in a low voice, "Why don't you take the antidote and leave?"
Tang Shijiu casually said, "Your sect leader will blame you for not completing the mission. Besides, going to the Tang Sect isn't a big deal."
Her bright face was so close, and Tang Yu felt envious. She wanted to reach out and touch it, wondering what it would feel like to touch such a smooth face.
"I will do my best to keep you safe," she said earnestly. "I promise."
Tang Shijiu patted her hand: "I know. I knew when Shenyin came looking for trouble. I knew Yuyu was a kind person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, a very kind fish."
Kindness...
Those pure and clear eyes looked at her, making her turn her face away, unable to bear looking. Looking out of the carriage window, she could already see the setting sun hanging obliquely in the west.
A cold smile played on Tang Yu's lips. From the moment she poisoned the old woman's water vat before leaving, the word "kindness" would never belong to her.
The whereabouts of the Tang Clan members must not be revealed.
Blood-red clouds dyed the western sky crimson. The old prostitute's corpse had already melted more than halfway, and black blood seeped into the ground, soaking her clothes.
It was a light blue silk shirt.
She was preparing to wash it and bring it out when the two girls came to visit next time.
She felt sorry for the little girl whose face was ruined. Although she didn't talk much, she still wanted to take good care of her.
If she has a granddaughter, she's probably about the same age as this little girl.
As night fell, her body finally turned into a pool of blood.
The neighbors, of course, paid no attention to the whereabouts of such a filthy woman. The blood seeped onto the ground and slowly disappeared without a trace, odorless and colorless.
In her final moments before dying, the elderly Jinv thought that children love sweets, so she should go to the market tomorrow to buy some candied lotus seeds to keep for her to eat when she came.
