The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 199 Why do that?

Yang Xingmi stood in his spacious and solemn hall at his residence.

A moment later, Zhu Shi and Zhu Yanshou were summoned to the mansion.

"Yanshou, Madam, you've arrived."

Yang Xing kept his eyes closed and smiled.

"Please sit down."

As Zhu and Zhu Yanshou entered the hall, they felt a sense of unease upon seeing Yang Xingmi's warm welcome.

However, they still sat down politely, waiting for Yang Xingmi to speak.

Yang Xingmi exchanged a few pleasantries with Zhu Shi and Zhu Yanshou, and the topic gradually shifted to the current situation.

Just when the atmosphere seemed calm, suddenly, several dark figures flew out from behind the hall and rushed towards Zhu Yanshou.

Before Zhu Yanshou could react, he was surrounded by these sudden shadows.

Who are you people?!

Zhu Yanshou shouted and tried to resist, but it was too late.

Several agile assassins quickly subdued him with a few stabs.

Zhu Yanshou fell to the ground, his blood staining the ground red.

Zhu watched all this in horror, her body trembling uncontrollably.

She tried to shout, but found that her throat felt like it was blocked by something.

"lady,"

Yang Xingmi's voice echoed in the silent hall.

Zhu stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what she was seeing.

She looked at her brother lying on the ground, her heart filled with despair and anger.

He gritted his teeth and forced back his tears:

"Why...why did you do this?"

Yang Xingmi sighed: "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place. You know this best in your heart."

Zhu lowered her head and remained silent.

She knew she had done many things that wronged Yang Xingmi, but she didn't want to admit it.

She still held onto a sliver of hope.

Yang Xingmi stood in the center of the hall, holding a pen and paper tightly in his hand.

Although he had already made up his mind, his hands still trembled slightly when he faced Zhu.

Zhu stood to the side, her eyes filled with fear and confusion.

"lady,"

Yang Xingmi's voice was low and firm, "Our relationship has come to an end."

Zhu's eyes widened in disbelief at what she was hearing:

"What did you say?"

Yang Xingmi took a deep breath: "I am a man, you should not do such despicable things."

After saying that, he quickly picked up a brush and wrote a letter of divorce on the paper.

Each stroke carries a heavy resolve, as if severing an irretrievable relationship.

As Zhu looked at the letter of divorce in Yang Xingmi's hand, tears welled up in her eyes.

"So you were pretending to be blind? Why?"

Zhu asked in a low voice, her voice choked with sobs.

"We've been through so much together, how could you do this to me?"

Yang Xingmi raised his head and said, "What do you think? Not ordering your death is an act of mercy."

Zhu was heartbroken, but she knew that saying anything more at this moment would be of no use.

She took the letter of divorce, her fingers trembling slightly, as if that thin piece of paper weighed a ton.

"You can leave now."

Yang Xingmi's voice was cold and ruthless, as if he wanted to freeze all emotions in this moment.

Zhu gritted her teeth, forced back her tears, and turned to walk towards the door.

Each step seemed unusually heavy, as if her footsteps carried the weight of the entire world.

She didn't want to turn around, afraid of seeing Yang Xingmi's cold eyes.

Just as she was about to walk out the door, Yang Xingmi suddenly spoke:

"Take care of yourself."

Zhu paused slightly, but ultimately did not turn around.

She stepped out of that door and walked through the streets and alleys, her heart filled with confusion and helplessness.

She didn't know where the future lay, but she knew she had to face it with strength.

Just then, a dark figure suddenly flew out of the darkness, holding a short knife, and stabbed straight at her.

Zhu looked up in alarm and saw who it was—it was Li, the guard who had once been her lover.

"Guard Li, you..."

Zhu looked at him in disbelief.

"why?"

A flicker of hesitation crossed Li's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

Do you think I'm still alive?

He said in a low voice, "Take your head to the King of Wu to claim your reward, and maybe I'll still have a way out."

Zhu's heart sank suddenly, and she felt a wave of despair and helplessness.

But she did not give up the fight. She quickly dodged the attack and tried to take the knife from the other person's hand.

However, Li, the guard, skillfully dodged the attack, but Zhu's arm was cut, and blood slowly flowed down her arm.

You shouldn't have done that!

Zhu angrily questioned, "You made vows of eternal love to me, how could you treat me like this?"

Li's expression turned ferocious:

"In this world, no one would give up their life for love. I must live!"

Just as Guard Li was about to thrust his sword again, a sharp shout suddenly rang out:

"stop!"

A guard rushed over with several soldiers and subdued Li.

It turned out that Yang Xingmi's men had heard the commotion and rushed over to stop it.

"How dare you commit violence here!"

The guards reprimanded him and sent men to escort Li, the guard, to the prison.

Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was still filled with doubt and fear.

She didn't understand why Guard Li would be so ruthless, nor did she understand if there was a deeper conspiracy behind it.

“Madam, I will call you Madam one last time. The King of Wu has ordered you to take this money and leave Yangzhou, never to see him again.”

After the guard finished speaking, he threw her a wad of cash and walked away.

The night was as dark as ink, and rain began to fall from the sky, growing heavier and heavier.

Zhu sat on the ground, her skirt soaked by the rain.

Zhu cried, remembering her own betrayal, her lover's heartlessness, and her husband's abandonment.

Overwhelmed with grief, she suddenly picked up the dagger from the ground and stabbed it into her heart, dying instantly.

The next morning, a commotion arose from the alleyways of Yangzhou.

Someone discovered Zhu lying on the ground and immediately called for help.

Nearby residents quickly gathered around, but no one dared to approach easily.

Soon, the news reached Yang Xingmi's ears.

Upon learning of this, Yang Xingmi felt a deep sense of guilt.

He realized that his decision regarding Ms. Zhu had caused her immense pain and even indirectly led to her tragic end.

"Immediately send someone to escort Madam Zhu back to her residence and have the best doctor treat her."

Yang Xingmi ordered, "No matter what, we must ensure she receives the best care."

However, by the time Yang Xingmi arrived, he already understood everything.

Madam Zhu has passed away and lies on the cold stone road, her face peaceful yet filled with endless sorrow.

Yang Xingmi ordered a grand funeral for Zhu.

He personally selected the finest coffin and burial goods to ensure that Zhu could leave this world with dignity.

On the day of the funeral, Yang Xingmi stood in front of the tomb with a solemn expression.

"lady,"

Yang Xingmi said softly, "May you rest in peace in the underworld."

Yang Xingmi decided to deal with Li Shiwei's behavior according to the law and show no leniency.

Standing before Zhu's grave, he ordered his men to execute Li, the bodyguard, by cutting him into a thousand pieces.

Yang Xingmi's voice was firm and steady.

"Today, you will pay the price for your crimes."

Li, the guard, wailed and begged for mercy. Yang Xingmi angrily said:

"If you're a real man, you don't have to be so pathetic!"

Amidst wind, rain, and mud, a commotion erupted.

Yang Xingmi whispered:

"Madam, although you have done wrong, I have avenged you. Rest in peace!"
