Chapter 168 Resolving the Grudges of the Past Life
Chapter 168 Resolving the Grudges of the Past Life
Zhou Xingyue was filled with regret at this moment. If she had known that the eldest wife was on this island, she would not have been so reckless as to suggest Ouyang Xuan to attack the island.
"No, sister-in-law, you can't kill me. Big brother and I are of the same bloodline. For the sake of big brother and our father, you can't kill me."
Jiang Li was almost laughing because of her anger. He tightened the whip in his hand again. Zhou Xingyue's face turned from pale to purple. She held her throat in pain and opened her mouth to gasp.
"You should know that if your eldest brother were here, he would be the first one to not let you go." Jiang Li looked at the dying woman with a cold gaze: "You should never, ever come back to provoke us."
"Why, in your eyes, Zhou Xingyue, everyone in the world can be manipulated at your will?"
"Humph, with your limited ability, you're not even worthy of my respect."
"Well--."
After Jiang Li finished speaking, he exerted a little more force, wishing he could break Zhou Xingyue's neck.
“No, no,——” Yes.
Zhou Xingyue closed her eyes and couldn't utter the last word.
Ouyang Xuan watched Zhou being strangled to death beside him, and his heart was filled with horror.
Jiang Li retracted the whip and looked at the woman lying limp on the ground. He raised the corner of his mouth in disgust and said, "Throw her down."
"Yes." Ming Shi effortlessly picked up Zhou Xingyue and threw her into the churning sea below.
Then, there was a loud thud as it fell into the sea.
Jiang Li slowly closed her eyes.
It’s over. The harm that had plagued the original family in the previous life came to an end at this moment.
God is blind and allows a person with such a character to be reborn, but he does not know that human greed will never be satisfied.
Then, she turned her gaze to Ouyang Xuan and met his equally cold gaze.
Jiang Li couldn't help but sneer: "Why, Master Ouyang still can't see the situation clearly?"
Ouyang Xuan raised his eyebrows knowingly. He did not reveal his identity, as he did not expect the other party to know his background.
"You are the island owner!"
"It's me."
After receiving Jiang Li's affirmative reply, Ouyang Xuan no longer looked surprised.
He was very calm, because he knew that he had fallen into the other party's hands and the situation was out of control.
He just never expected that after planning for so long, Ouyang Xuan would end up with nothing.
"Now that you are in my hands, the one you should blame is Zhou Xingyue, not me."
Ouyang Xuan looked up at her calmly, without saying a word.
Jiang Li's lips curled up slightly. "From the first time she premeditatedly rescued you, you've been a pawn in her pursuit of a bright future. If I'm not mistaken, your attack on the island today was undoubtedly due to Zhou Xingyue's instigation."
Ouyang Xuan was surprised and shocked.
"You should never, ever covet something that doesn't belong to you. Even Meng Ling couldn't conquer my Changsheng Island, and you, a mere merchant's son, actually dare to set your sights on me. You should also consider your own abilities. Whatever you are, Prince Daqing, whatever you are, you are nothing but ants in the eyes of the Liu family of Daning."
"Since you believe in Zhou Xingyue, I will reunite you with her. I do not wish to be involved in the grudges between you two."
Ouyang Xuan had never been humiliated in public like this before. His calm face became hideous and distorted, no longer as handsome and suave as before.
Before he could utter angrily, Jiang Li gave him a look and the long sword in Ming Yang's hand flashed with a cold light.
Life often disappears in a flash. Jiang Li coldly admired the gentle and elegant son of a noble merchant in the book, but in this life, he completely fell at his feet.
Blame it on his greed,
"Throw it down."
"Yes!" Ming Yang picked up Ouyang Xuan from the ground with disgust and threw him into the sea with a thud.
Soon, a pink crabapple flower bloomed in the clear sea water.
It's all over!
Heng'er, mother has avenged you, even if it means going against heaven in this life.
Your mother and father also wish you a glorious future!
As night fell, the tribesmen carried the bodies of the dead warriors to an open space on carts, piled them into a mountain, poured kerosene on them and burned them.
The blazing flames and the pungent smell of burning could not dispel the tribe's hatred for these thieves.
Earlier, the island also experienced a shocking battle, and the injured tribesmen were placed in the newly built medical hall near Jianglin Pavilion.
It was late at night when Jiang Li came out of the medical clinic and returned to Jianglin Pavilion to wash off the fishy smell on his body. Then he went to the ancestral hall and lit a stick of incense.
Ever since the barrier protecting Changsheng Island disappeared, what happened today made Jiang Li deeply aware of the burden that fell on him.
No matter what, as long as Jiang Li is alive, she will not let the old island master down.
Perhaps this road is long and difficult, and who can predict what the future will be like.
Yuan Niang stepped forward, took the incense from her hand, and inserted it into the incense burner on the altar. Then she whispered, "Madam, the reinforcements sent by Deputy General Cheng earlier have already been sent back by Ming Ye."
Jiang Li clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and prayed for a while, then slowly opened his eyes: "Okay, thank you very much for your help, Deputy General Cheng."
"Don't worry, my lady. Mingye has followed your instructions and sent the donated food that we prepared a while ago back to the city with the reinforcements."
"it is good."
The grain was the surplus from the previous year's warehouse, and there wasn't much in fact. However, Jiang Li allocated fifty dan as a token of Changsheng Island's modest contribution to the rebels.
"My lady, it's getting late. I'll take you back to your bedroom to rest."
Jiang Li smiled softly and said, "Don't worry, I'll go to the children's yard to take a look."
"Yes."
Whenever something dangerous happened on the island, Jiang Li felt guilty for not being able to stay with the child at the first moment, knowing that the child would have fallen asleep by then.
However, as a mother, I would not feel at ease if I didn't take a look at him.
Many times, Jiang Li thought that neither she nor Zhou Chunfeng were competent parents. They were sometimes negligent in taking care of their child, so they thought that the child would not blame them when he grew up.
Jiang Li first came to the room of her eldest son Yiheng. The little guy was a light sleeper, and when he heard the sound of the door, he immediately opened his eyes and got up from the bed.
When he saw who it was, Yiheng rubbed his sleepy eyes and called out "Mother" in a soft voice.
Jiang Li smiled and walked forward, helped the child lie down and wiped the quilt for him: "Mom woke you up."
Yiheng shook his head: "No."
Jiang Li couldn't help laughing, sat down on the chair beside the bed, and gently stroked the child's head.
"Mom, come and see our Heng'er. Are you scared by what happened on the island today?"
Yiheng shook his head again: "As long as mother is here, I am not afraid."
The recognition and dependence from the child comforted Jiang Li's heart: "Good boy, your mother and father will definitely earn you a good reputation."
"Yeah." Although Yiheng didn't know what fame and honor were, he knew it must be good since his mother said so.
The mother and son talked for a while, and after watching the child fall asleep, Jiang Li got up and left the room.
Immediately, Jiang Li went to the children's rooms to take a look. Ang'er and Jing'er were sound asleep, so they were not woken up by the arrival of someone.
Que Ge'er was also a shallow sleeper and the most sensible boy in the family. He turned around and comforted Jiang Li, saying that he would grow up quickly and protect her aunt.
Jiang Li didn't like children before, but since coming here, she found that raising children is a very mature and interesting thing.
