The fragrance wafted in through the half-hidden crack in the door, and Mrs. Li sat up from the bed licking her tongue. In front of the bed, there seemed to be a man standing, and the man was holding a bowl in his hand, and the fragrance wafted from the bowl.

"Give it to me, give me the fish soup!"

The man didn't say anything, but directly handed the bowl in his hand to Mrs. Li.

"Boom! Knock knock! ”

Like a thirsty person, Mrs. Li picked up the bowl, raised her head and swallowed it in a big gulp.

"Boom! Knock knock! ”

The fragrant flavor began to spread from the tip of her tongue and slid directly down her throat into her stomach. Old Madam Li's misty gaze gradually became clear as she swallowed the fish soup.

Her eyes widened, she looked at the person standing in front of her and said "You ......"

In just one day, the Li Mansion was messed up, first the old man Li Shen and the maid Tong Yu found a human bone in the kitchen, and the human bone was still put in the pot and boiled into soup. Immediately after the old lady of the Li family passed away, when she died, her eyes were round, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying. Through investigation, the government found some human bones under the begonia tree in the backyard of the Li Mansion, and through the clothes scattered next to the bones, some people identified that this was Zhen Wan'er, the wife who was divorced by the old man Li Shen.

The unsightly secret hidden in the Li Mansion has finally been revealed......

It was the second day after Li Shen returned home from a business trip. The sky was slightly bright, and the rooster had not yet crooked, and he woke up from his dream, habitually reaching out to hug his wife.

Tentacles, a slight coolness. When he opened his eyes, he was in a trance for a moment, and only after staring at the roof for a while did he realize that this was indeed his bedroom.

In the past, when he came back, his wife Wan'er would always stand in front of the house to greet him, but this time only his mother greeted him. Her mother said that Wan'er had something to do at home, and her father and mother sent someone to take her back. Although he was suspicious, he did not ask anything more in front of his mother.

After being married for many years, Wan'er rarely goes back to her parents-in-law's house, and even if she does, she will tell him in advance.

Turning over, I heard some chaotic sounds outside, footsteps accompanied by the sound of small talking. He got up in his cloak and walked behind the door with the candlestick. The voice faded away, but in a vague way, he seemed to hear the word "madam".

Puzzled, Li Shen went out with a candlestick.

Outside the door, there was not a hint of wind.

He followed the sound and went to his mother's yard and found the light on in his mother's room.

Pushing open the door, he saw his half-blooded mother sitting there with a tense face, and he was shocked. I just wanted to ask my mother what happened, but I saw my wife, who was supposed to stay at her parents-in-law's house, lying on the ground covered in blood.

He choked in his throat, followed by the fishy smell of blood.

The candlestick in his hand fell to the ground.

"Wan'er...... Mother! ”

"It's not my fault!" The mother was still expressionless: "For the sake of your future, I helped you choose another wife." I wanted to see that she was still a good judge over the years, and let her continue to stay in the house to serve you, but who knew that she was so ignorant. ”

"Mother!" Li Shen looked at his mother with unbelievable eyes: "Wan'er, she is my wife!" ”

"A wife who is useless to you."

"Useless? In the eyes of the mother, what kind of wife is not useless. Li Shen asked loudly, seeing his mother's expression stiffen, and then showing a little anger.

"Gentleman, since you were a child, you have never treated your mother with such an attitude."

"That's because my mother has always been loving."

"Mother is for your good."

"If my mother had really done something for me, she wouldn't have done such a thing."

"Are you reprimanding your mother?" Old Madam Li slapped the table hard: "Gentleman, how can you say such a thing to your mother." Even if you grow up and no longer appreciate your mother's hard work in raising you, you should not question your mother's love for you in front of your mother. ”

"Does my mother really love me?" Li Shen lowered his head and looked at his wife, who was covered in blood and her body was still cold.

"When you were going to marry her, your mother didn't approve of it. How can a shallow country woman help you? What you said, she didn't understand. She doesn't understand what you do. She can't accompany you to recite poetry against you, let alone help you in your career, what do you want her to do? ”

"Didn't my mother also come from a fisherman's family? Doesn't my mother know how to recite poetry? Didn't my mother understand what my father said and did? But even so, the father did not abandon the mother, and the grandmother did not let the father abandon the mother. ”

"Bastard, did you talk to your mother like that? Can a mother be the same as this little girl? Yes, my mother is the same as her, she has a bad background, but her mother is not willing to be mediocre, her mother gave birth to you and cultivates you wholeheartedly. If you didn't have a mother, would you be where you are today? ”

"Mother Yan Zhiwan'er will not give birth to another Li Shen, and Yan Zhiwan'er's future child will not be able to become a child. Wan'er is a wonderful wife, and she must be a wonderful mother. ”

"Raw? You let her give birth to one for me to see. Old Madam Li pouted: "You have been married for many years, can her stomach move a little?" ”

"Is there any movement, mother doesn't know?" Li Shen's eyes were red: "If it weren't for my mother's reproach for Wan'er, how could my flesh and blood with Wan'er be gone." ”

"Are you blaming your mother?"

"Shouldn't mother be blamed?"

"She can't keep the child in her belly because she is not angry, what does it have to do with her mother?"

If it weren't for the fact that her mother deliberately embarrassed her, deliberately found reasons to blame her, beat and scolded her, how could the child in her womb be gone. The mother really thinks that the children don't know about the grievances that Wan'er has suffered these years, don't you know? ”

Old Madam Li's eyes widened, "Then do you know what kind of grievances my mother has suffered over the years?" ”

"Since Wan'er entered the door, she has never been bad to her mother for a day, even if her mother scolded and made things difficult, she has never disobeyed her mother. Now, the mother asks the child what kind of grievances you have suffered. Li Shen sneered faintly and hugged his wife's upper body into his arms: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have insisted that my mother stay by my mother's side knowing that my mother was not good to her." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Old Madam Li stood up and looked at Li Shen with an extremely complicated look.

"If the child had left his mother in his hometown, these things would not have happened today."

"Plop!" Mrs. Li sat back on the stool.

"You mean you don't want a mother anymore!"

Li Shen closed his eyes and did not answer Mrs. Li's question, but hugged his wife's already cold body.

Old Madam Li sighed and said to Li Shen's back: "It turns out that this is how you placed your mother in your heart. Ancestral home? Wouldn't it be better for my mother to go back to her place of origin, just go to jail. Tong Yu, Tong Yu, go to the official, you go to the official now, and say that your old lady killed her daughter-in-law. ”

"Mother!"

Li Shen turned around with his wife in his arms and looked at her with those red eyes.

It was his mother, and even though he knew that she was the murderer of his wife, he still couldn't bear to send her to prison.

At that moment, he was torn and tumbling in his heart, and finally lowered his head.

"After my mother cleans this place, let's live in another place."

Li Shen buried his wife under the begonia tree he planted with his own hands that year, and then wrote a letter of resignation, imitating his wife's crooked handwriting and signing the three words Zhen Wan'er, and lied to the outside world that he had divorced his wife.

Li Shen thought that the matter would be over at this moment, but he didn't expect that Xiaohui would question herself in front of her mother. He knows all the truth, and he is ashamed of his wife who was killed by his mother, so he has no way to face Xiaohui's questioning. However, Xiaohui's actions angered his mother again, and when he heard the news and rushed to his mother's yard, he saw another corpse.

Xiaohui was also buried under the begonia tree.

In the kitchen, a thick pot of broth is cooked on the stove, the flames licking the bottom of the pot, and the slices and bones of meat dancing in the boiling water. Li Shen held the soup spoon tightly, his eyes were straight, but his hand kept stirring in the pot. Behind him, Xiaohui stared at her with a pair of eyes that only had the whites of her eyes, her clothes were windless, and her body was stained with blood.

Li Shen remembers that his mother loved to drink soup the most, especially the broth with a rich flavor in the mouth.
