一夜情

Mrs. Jin became desperate. She led a group of people, stood outside the Gan family’s residence, and began scolding them. “Gan Maosheng, how dare you set Scholar Jin up. I hope that you will die soon and that you will have no descendants either…”

Zhao Chuchu heard those words and told Madam Luo to close the door. They decided to ignore Mrs. Jin, who was barking like a dog.

“Are they out of their minds? They’re offending a government official!” Madam Luo said angrily. “She had no reason to do so. And they call themselves an educated family? Mr *ss!”

!!

“They’ve become desperate.” Zhao Chuchu snorted. “Don’t they know what they’ve done? What’s the use of feeling annoyed now? The Jin family won’t be around for long anyway.”

“What do you mean?”

“The things that the Jin family had done in Yuanjiang County weren’t a secret. They thought they were the law and could do anything they wanted in Yuanjiang County, but now they’ve offended someone they shouldn’t have.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“I heard what the people were saying on the streets. It seems like Scholar Jin has been put behind bars. It’s possible that he would have his title removed. Without his title, the Jin family will no longer be able to be this arrogant anymore. They wouldn’t dare.”

“Put behind bars?”

Madam Luo was taken aback.

“I think so. Therefore, you can ignore them, Auntie.” Zhao Chuchu nodded.

Madam Luo gasped in disbelief.

“Do whatever you have to do. You can just ignore these people, Auntie.”

“Yeah, I don’t really want anything to do with them.”

Madam Luo was no longer angry.

No wonder Mrs. Jin was so desperate. It was because Scholar Jin was put behind bars.

At this moment, Mrs. Jin no longer had the temperament of someone from the upper class. She crossed her arms and was spitting horrible words like a shrew.

Zhao Chuchu flicked her fingers a little, and a few drops of water landed on Mrs. Jin’s neck.

Mrs. Jin didn’t notice it at all. She continued to scold and curse Zhao Chuchu and Gan Maosheng non-stop.

She even said that Zhao Chuchu and Gan Maosheng had a special relationship.

The neighbors of the Gan family couldn’t bare to listen anymore.

“You’re being insulting, woman. Zhao Chuchu comes to the Gan family to treat Old Mrs. Gan. How come it turns out to be something completely different in your mouth? You’re a woman as well. Why are you being so unreasonable?”

“Dirty people do dirty things. I know better than you what kind of person General Gan is. You’re just talking nonsense. Have you lost your mind?”

“Hey, isn’t this Mrs. Jin? I’ve heard that Scholar Jin has caused the death of many people and has been put behind bars. He’s now awaiting interrogation. I don’t think he will be able to keep his title anymore. Why are you still being a shrew here? Aren’t you afraid it would add to Scholar Jin’s crimes?”

“Is that for real? If it’s true, then justice is finally served. The Jin family took advantage of the fact that they’re backed by Scholar Jin and have sinned a lot. Now, they’re just paying for their sins.”

The crowd’s topic began to change to the horrible things the Jin family had done.

Mrs. Jin, who had planned on getting the neighbors to scold the Gan family with her, was now so angry that her face was completely red.

“You’re all talking nonsense. It’s not true. Scholar Jin is the kindest person there is. You’re only saying this because you’re jealous. If Scholar Jin really did something like that, he would have…”

When Mrs. Jin reached that point, Zhao Chuchu clenched her fist lightly.

Mrs. Jin’s voice stopped in mid-sentence. Then, it was followed by her loud scream.

She covered her throat with her hands as if someone was strangling her, and she struggled.

When the crowd saw this, they were all shocked and took a few steps back.

“This is punishment for her sins.”

“It must be the ghost of the people killed by the Jin family here to kill her.”

Even the people Mrs. Jin had brought all took a few steps back in fear.

Mrs. Jin looked like she was possessed.

Now, people were certain that ghosts existed.

They all began thinking about the bad things they had done in the past. They didn’t want ghosts coming to kill them because of their sins.

Mrs. Jin kept her hands on her throat and kept on rolling around on the ground.

Everyone took a few more steps back.

They were first suspicious, and now they were sure that it was ghosts coming to kill Mrs. Jin.

As for the person who caused all this, Zhao Chuchu had already gone back to the Gan family and left Mrs. Jin to struggle.

She didn’t do anything. She had just frozen Mrs. Jin’s neck.

It looked scary, but it wasn’t fatal for Mrs. Jin.

Zhao Chuchu’s special power would wear off after a few minutes.

After what Mrs. Jin had done, the whole of Yuanjiang county knew that the Jin family had committed many sins and was even punished by ghosts during the day.

Madam Luo heard what happened that day as well.

She was curious, but she didn’t open the door to take a look just in case Mrs. Jin saw her.

In the end, Mrs. Jin was carried back by her men.

It was said that she had fallen ill when she got back. People said that the spirit of a young female servant of theirs who died due to a disease came back to haunt her. Mrs. Jin even began digging with a shovel in her own garden, saying that she would capture the servant’s spirit.

When County Magistrate Qiao heard of this matter, he immediately sent someone to the Jin family.

In the end, they really found a female corpse in the ground where Mrs. Jin was digging.

After an autopsy, it was said that this person was strangled to death.

...

During interrogation, they found out that Mrs. Jin had killed this person. The reason was that Scholar Jin was eyeing this young girl, so Mrs. Jin thought that the girl wanted to seduce Scholar Jin and decided to strangle her to death.

When Zhao Chuchu discovered this, she only felt that Mrs. Jin was a maniac.

She couldn’t keep the heart of her husband, so she became jealous of other young girls. It was truly disgusting.

However, although Mrs. Jin was slightly manic, County Magistrate Qiao didn’t let her off the hook.

However, Scholar Jin had a title, so to look into his case, his title must be removed.

County Magistrate Qiao didn’t have that kind of power, so it would require the Provincial Education Commissioner of the Guangqing Province to be involved. There the whole process would take time.

Zhao Chuchu thought that she would need to wait for around two weeks.

However, she got a result after five days.

Scholar Jin’s title was removed, and he became an ordinary peasant.

The case of the Jin family was swift, and soon the Jin family fell as well.

When Zhao Chuchu received this news, she had already cured Old Mrs. Gan and returned to Lengshui Village.

...

“The Jin family’s gone. How much effort did you put into it, Da Lang?” Zhao Chuchu asked Xie Heng.

Xie Heng raised his head. “It only took a letter.”

“You have more connection than I anticipated.”

“Not really. It was just a coincidence.”
