Chapter 88: The Indulgence of the Widow (Day of Riwan)

After Yang Chong left the General's Mansion, he identified the direction and headed directly towards the Zuo Sima Mansion.

Thinking about what he had done in the past few days, Yang Chong felt somewhat guilty. After all, he took advantage of a woman's ignorance.

Li Kai's killing of Liu Yi was entirely directed by him, because Yang Chong knew very well that in this world, no matter who killed Liu Yi, the first person that people in Xinzheng would suspect was Ji Wuye, with Li Kai being the only exception.

So Yang Chong used the information about Nanyue to get close to Mrs. Hu and make her let down her guard against him. This in turn aroused Liu Yi's suspicion. While Liu Yi was suspicious, Yang Chong took Mrs. Hu to Zilanxuan, and when she was excited when she saw her daughter, he took the opportunity to do something even more excessive in front of Liu Yi next door.

Liu Yi had no idea that his so-called tracking and peeping were within Yang Chong's sight from beginning to end, and what he saw was what Yang Chong wanted him to see.

All Yang Chong did was to provoke Liu Yi, to provoke Liu Yi to hurt Madam Hu and kill Madam Hu. Only in this way could he force Li Kai to take action against Liu Yi.

The appearance of Li Kai was also the result of Yang Chong's guidance. Li Kai often followed Mrs. Hu. When Yang Chong inadvertently revealed some information to him through others, he was worried that Mrs. Hu would be harmed by Liu Yi, so he followed in secret.

So, when Liu Yi stabbed Mrs. Hu with the sword, he took action.

In the end, Liu Yi died at the hands of Li Kai, and Li Kai used his own life to make a final explanation to the King of Han.

What Yang Chong said in the general's mansion about the second level of the three levels of killing, killing with the heart, is a complete description of this process.

Throughout this assassination, Yang Chong took advantage of Mrs. Hu's affection for her daughter, Liu Yi's jealousy and anger, and Li Kai's love for Mrs. Hu.

It was a perfect plan, but it was also a dirty one.

Mrs. Hu must be very sad now. I should go visit her.

The main hall of Zuo Sima Mansion, where high-ranking officials and dignitaries used to come and go, has now become a mourning hall. Liu Yi's coffin was placed in the middle, and the white linen fluttered in the night breeze, making the entire mourning hall look even more eerie.

Mrs. Hu, the widow, knelt beside the deceased in mourning clothes, looking at Liu Yi's coffin with sadness on her face. However, in her eyes, there was hatred that was hard to conceal. She mourned her own fate and hated Liu Yi and Li Kai.

In the quiet mourning hall, there was a ticking sound of footsteps hitting the floor. Mrs. Hu looked over and saw someone she knew.

"Why are you here?" Mrs. Hu looked at Yang Chong who walked in, without any panic, only a hint of resentment.

"I came to see Madam. I was a little worried when I heard that you had encountered such a shocking incident." Yang Chong said as he came to Madam Hu's side.

"Am I stupid?" Mrs. Hu raised her head and looked at Yang Chong who was standing beside her.

"Madam is just pure-minded and doesn't know the dangers of the world." Yang Chong said. Madam Hu said, "I know now, and I won't be so stupid again in the future."

"Madam, please accept my condolences." Yang Chong knelt down.

“Actually, I’m not sad. I never liked Liu Yi. I was just grateful for his protection over the years. But when he stabbed me with the sword, I no longer had any feelings for him. And Li Kai, he used to be the man I loved the most, but he lied to me from the beginning. Everything was fake. The things I cherished for so many years are just a joke.” Mrs. Hu was crying as she spoke. She felt aggrieved, weak, and filled with deep hatred.

"In a relationship between a man and a woman, whoever cares more will be hurt more deeply," said Yang Chong.

"Yes, but I have let it go now." Mrs. Hu murmured.

At this moment, Yang Chong completely understood why the devil had such a change in Mrs. Hu.

Yang Chong's purpose for coming here today was not pure.

"Are you afraid of that damn Liu Yi?" Mrs. Hu said with determination and madness.

"Afraid? Did Madam misunderstand something? I'm just... too excited, that's all."

……

"Where did Yang Chong go last night?" Ji Wuye asked Mo Ya while sitting in the carriage heading to the palace.

"After Yang Chong left the General's Mansion last night, he went to the Zuo Sima Mansion." Mo Ya replied with a strange look.

“Zuo Sima Mansion? Hiss…” Ji Wuye couldn’t help but gasp when he heard that.

As a general, he had played with many women, but playing like this? This was the first time Ji Wuye had heard of it.

"Hey!" Ji Wuye's expression became as weird as Mo Ya's. In the end, he could only say this one sentence, but then he burst into laughter.

"What kind of person is he?" Mo Ya was also thinking, after all, Yang Chong would be considered Ye Mu's man in the future.

"I didn't expect that." Ji Wuye said with a smile.
