The man left . Qin Ling seemed a little disappointed but relieved too . She quickly got rid of these thoughts . There was something more important to settle now .

Ah Lu’s news came faster than Qin Ling’s attendants .
The person that got the rashes was a gambler . He had almost lost everything he had .
Ah Lu caught the person . Ming Shu didn’t ask Qin Ling to go . She went to interrogate the person personally .
The mastermind that bribed him was none other than Liu Xinyue .
Ming Shu asked the person to think of a way to clear up the situation tomorrow . If he didn’t do it, she would kill him .
Since he was caught so suddenly, the person didn’t dare to reject her . He confirmed profusely that he would clarify the issue .
How could Liu Xinyue go against a villain like Ming Shu? After failing many times, she didn’t dare to do anything anymore . Her shop was facing problems too .
First, her competitors lowered their prices . Then, people came to her shop to look for trouble .
These methods were the same as the ones she used on Qin Ling .
Liu Xinyue knew that Ming Shu did all this . Every time something happened, she would appear as though she was afraid that Liu Xinuye wouldn’t know who did it .
But she didn’t have evidence…
The lowering of prices was done by her competitors . The people that came to look for trouble were hired by her competitors too . It had nothing to do with Ming Shu .
In order to protect her only assets, Liu Xinyue didn’t dare to provoke Ming Shu head-on anymore .
In the town, Mister Zhou was the leader . Ming Shu was an Infanta and Cheng Gui was a lord . Their statuses were both much higher than Mister Zhou’s . If she continued to provoke them, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock .

Just as Liu Xinyue was vexed, something happened to Li Shen .
Once Li Shen had money, he lived in the world of wine and women . He kept going to brothels and in the end, he was infected with smallpox .
Liu Xinyue sneered . She arranged for the woman to be there . She expected this ending .
Li Shen’s mother found many physicians to treat Li Shen’s, illness but in this era where medical science was still lagging, there was no way he could be cured .
When Li Shen learned that he was infected with smallpox, his temper got worse . He would beat people whenever he was unhappy . After discovering that he had no hope of recovering, he got bolder .
Not long after, he got addicted to gambling and gambled all day long .
When he had no money, he would look for Liu Xinyue . If she didn’t give him any, he would hit her . Liu Xinyue hired people to protect hers, but Li Shen would find people too . In the end, she was still beaten up .
For matters like this, there was no use reporting it to the officials . They would not care about it since no one died .
At the start, Li Shen only asked for cash . However, when there was no more cash, he sold off the Liu family’s title deeds .
He found these title deeds when he searched the Liu residence after he moved in . He kept them with him ever since then .
“Li Shen, are you crazy! If you sold off these title deeds, what will we do in the future!” Liu Xinyue grabbed Li Shen and prevented him from leaving . “Return those deeds to me . They are mine!”
“Yours? They are mine!” Li Shen pushed Liu Xinyue away . “Since you don’t give me money, I can only sell these title deeds . ”
Liu Xinyue fell onto the ground . Her eyes turned red and she shouted in anger, “You bastard Li Shen! Give me back my title deeds!”

“Let go!” Li Shen kicked Liu Xinyue away irritatedly .
Li Shen took the title deeds and left . Liu Xinyue chased after him but he was already gone .
She could not stay here anymore . She needed to leave…
As long as she was alive, there would still be hope . She would definitely come back and take her revenge .
Just as Liu Xinyue was packing up, Li Shen came back . He brought two men with him .
“What are you all doing?” Liu Xinyue looked at them vigilantly .
“Where are you going?” Li Shen’s face was dark . Rashes had already appeared on his face and he looked really scary . “Are you trying to run away?”
Liu Xinyue grabbed the bag beside her and dashed out .
“F**k, you still dare to run!” Li Shen blocked Liu Xinyue and pushed her forcefully . “From today onwards, you will stay in this room . You are not allowed to go anywhere else . ”
Li Shen locked the door .
Liu Xinyue was devastated . She climbed up from the floor and pounded on the door furiously .
“Li Shen, let me out . You bastard, let me out…” She wanted to leave this place . She should have left this place from the start .
She regretted it .
Li Shen’s mother’s shouting sounded outside the door . All kinds of curse words came out . Li Hua would shout occasionally too .
Liu Xinyue grabbed the door tightly . Her nails broke due to the force .
Li Shen gambled away the Liu family’s assets really quickly . Liu Xinyue was locked up in her room all day . She tried various ways to get out but never succeeded .
In the end, Li Shen’s mother only gave her a little bit of food every day . Sometimes, there wouldn’t be any food and she was so hungry she didn’t have the energy to run away .
Most of the servants in the Liu residence had run away . The Liu residence was so empty it seemed as though no one lived there .
Boom!
The door was kicked open and sunlight shone in . The glare from the sunlight made Liu Xinyue tear up . She saw someone coming in .
“This is her . How about it? She is the princess of the Liu family . Look at her skin and her body . If you dress her up, she will look really good . ”
Li Shen was sweet-talking someone .
Liu Xinyue’s heart started pounding furiously . Her eyes got used to the light .
She saw Li Shen bowing down . A big man was standing in front of her and sizing her up as if she was an object .
“This is not enough to repay your debt . ” The man sneered .
Li Shen took out two title deeds from his sleeve hurriedly . He only wanted to give one away but the man grabbed both of them . “This is much better . ”
“Li Shen… what are you doing?” Liu Xinyue suddenly had energy and she pounced at Li Shen . She grabbed his elbow and sank her nails into his flesh . “What are you doing! What have you done!”
The man passed the title deeds to the person behind him . He smiled coldly and said, “He sold you . This way please, First Young Lady Liu . ”
“No…”
“Take her away . ”
Liu Xinyue was dragged away . Li Shen kept smiling at the man and didn’t even look at Liu Xinyue . He ignored her cursing too .
“Li Shen, you will die a terrible death!”
Liu Xinyue was stuffed into a dilapidated horse carriage . She was forced to drink a cup of water and became unconscious thereafter .
Ming Shu heard that Li Shen sold Liu Xinyue away and specially went to look for her . However, she never saw Liu Xinyue again . Her Hatred Points were not full and she didn’t find Liu Xinyue . All she could do was suspect that Cheng Gui had killed her .
But, Cheng Gui pretended to be innocent .
He pretended that he didn’t know anything .
In the end, Li Shen lost the Liu residence too . His illness was getting worse . Li Shen’s mother and Li Hua were afraid that they would get infected too so they left him .
When Li Shen died, no one came to collect his corpse .
The village head was the one that couldn’t take it anymore and forced Li Shen’s mother to collect the corpse . Li Shen’s mother felt that she didn’t get to enjoy much . The wealth that was in her hands disappeared in just a moment . She was really unhappy about it . Hence, she hated Li Shen .
When the village head asked her to collect the corpse, she threw him in the common burial grounds .
Maybe she was being punished for her evil deeds, but on her way back, she slipped on the ground and was blinded .
Li Hua broke her arms . Li Shen’s mother was blind . They kept quarrelling everyday and their lives were really pitiful .
