Chapter 6 - 006. Mice must be hit, and the jade vase must be protected.
"No, I’m not leaving! I am the first wife that the Liu family legitimately married, and I’ve taken care of the in-laws until they passed away. Liu Shouren, you can’t be heartless, you just can’t!"
Seeing the man with a dark face, determined to send her back to her family home, Wu Xia wailed, clinging to the door frame, refusing to let go. She cried and begged, pleading for Shuzhen to show mercy, saying that if she went back to her family, she’d have no way to survive.
After all, they’ve been sisters-in-law for eight years. She begged Shuzhen to consider how she had taken care of Liu Shouren faithfully and forgive her this time.

She wiped her tears fiercely and glared at her two brothers, "Killing someone just means burying the head. I’ve already compensated, kneeled. You, Liu Shouren and Liu Shouyi, still push me to a dead end. Are you trying to kick me out to make room for that slut Liu Shuzhen, to raise the bastard in her belly for the Liu family to continue the bloodline?"
"Ha-ha, right. Liu Shouren, you are so worthless. Besides me, Wu Xia, who else would..."
