Chapter 7: The Su Family Law Enforcement Hall

*Pfft...*

Fresh blood splattered out, spraying onto Su Yueshi’s face.

With a dull thud, Su Yueshi released the dagger and collapsed to the ground, her face deathly pale beneath her veil.

The shrew, meanwhile, had her eyes wide open, her breath already gone.

Si Kongjing walked forward slowly. He was naturally unmoved by such a minor scene, but he had seen countless new recruits kill for the first time, and he knew it required courage.

Therefore, Si Kongjing asked with concern, "Su Yueshi, are you alright?"

Trembling violently, Su Yueshi stood up and swallowed hard, facing Si Kongjing. "I, I'm fine..."

"Now that Aunt Dou is dead, there is no proof left. When we get to the Su family’s Law Enforcement Hall in a moment, you must not act like you just did. Do not admit that you were the one who chopped off Aunt Dou’s hands and feet, and definitely do not admit that you killed her."

"Everything was done by me, do you understand?"

Su Yueshi’s expression was solemn, her gaze fixed firmly on Si Kongjing.

Si Kongjing’s eyes widened, and he stammered, "You killed this shrew... to silence her for my sake?"

He had originally thought that Su Yueshi killed her simply out of hatred for the shrew’s previous bullying. He never expected it was because of him, out of fear that he would face retribution from the Su family’s Law Enforcement Hall.

"Yes," Su Yueshi nodded in admission.

"Why?"

Si Kongjing had seen too many "first kills" in his life; it required not just courage, but immense resolve.

Yet, Su Yueshi had done it for his sake.

Su Yueshi lifted her eyelids and said earnestly, "Because you are my husband, and because I am a daughter of the Su family."

"No matter how great a mistake I make, they won't take my life. But you are different. You are an exiled criminal, and everyone in the Su family wishes you were dead already."

Si Kongjing asked again, "Even if they don't take your life, you will still face severe punishment."

The Su family could heartlessly force her to live in such a foul-smelling place and allow their servants to beat and berate her.

How could Su Yueshi possibly fare well after committing murder?

Beneath her veil, Su Yueshi smiled innocently. "That’s still better than you being dead."

After saying this, Su Yueshi suddenly thought of something. She pulled Si Kongjing up and said, "Come with me first..."

Without waiting for his answer, she dragged him toward the back of the hut.

Behind the hut was the Su family’s pig farm, and further back was a small forest.

Jogging around the pig farm, Su Yueshi pulled Si Kongjing into a hidden cave within the forest before panting, "Hide here for now. You must not come out, do you hear me? Wait until I return."

Si Kongjing was stunned again and asked, "Why?"

"I’m afraid the people from the Law Enforcement Hall will use this opportunity to beat you first. In any case, just don't come out." As Su Yueshi said this, angry shouts could be heard from the direction of the hut; it was Su Yun arriving with the Law Enforcement Hall guards.

"I have to go immediately, or they will surely find us. Remember to stay hidden."

With that, Su Yueshi jogged back, disappearing from Si Kongjing’s hollow gaze.

Only after Su Yueshi was out of sight did Si Kongjing slowly withdraw his gaze. A man of seven feet, a once-invincible god of war, felt his eyes turn red and his lips tremble at this moment.

If the Ninth Princess, Yan Ruyu, was the extreme of heartlessness, then Su Yueshi was the warmest sunshine in this world.

"In nineteen years, this is the first time I, Si Kongjing, have felt truly alive." Si Kongjing took a deep breath, looked toward the direction of the hut, and said, "But how could I let my wife suffer for my sake?"

His words were resolute and iron-clad!

Having said this, he stepped out, following in Su Yueshi’s direction, the *Zhan Di Po Yu Jue* qi within his body circulating continuously!

The Su family’s Law Enforcement Hall was grim and austere.

As one of the four great families of Yunye City, the Su family had thousands of members. The Law Enforcement Hall was the place where the family interrogated and punished its own, a place feared by all.

At this moment, sitting at the head of the hall was a middle-aged man, Su Yueshi’s second uncle, Su Zhengtao.

His current position in the Su family was: Head of the Law Enforcement Hall!

Standing beside Su Zhengtao was his most doted-upon daughter, Su Yun.

When the guards brought Su Yueshi in, Su Yun immediately barked, "Su Yueshi, where is that loud-mouthed, sickly criminal husband of yours?"

Su Yueshi replied in a low voice, "He happened to have another episode, so I sent him to get medical treatment."

"Treatment? With what are you sending him for treatment? I think he just ran away, didn't he?"

Su Yun refused to believe it. When Su Yueshi was thrown into the pig farm five days ago, all her money had been confiscated, and her parents had been ordered by her grandfather, the head of the Su family, to stop interfering in her affairs.

Su Yueshi had neither money nor anyone to help her send that sickly man for treatment.

To this, Su Yueshi stubbornly replied, "I did send him for treatment."

"Fine, fine, fine. You dare to talk back to me now, don't you? I don't care if you sent him for treatment or if he ran away; either way, he is a dead man. Anyone who dares to hit my people will not have a good end... Father, send men to capture him now."

As Su Yun finished speaking, she looked at her father, Su Zhengtao.

Su Zhengtao did not hesitate and shouted, "Men, go and bring that criminal back to me. If he dares to resist, cut him down on the spot."

Su Yueshi’s heart trembled, praying that if Si Kongjing were found, he would not resist.

At this moment, Su Zhengtao’s gaze returned to the center of the hall. He shouted, "Su Yueshi, kneel!"

With a thud, Su Yueshi knelt.

"You were the one who chopped off Aunt Dou’s hands and feet, and now you have killed her, is that right?" Su Zhengtao interrogated with a cold face.

Su Yueshi nodded. "Yes, I did it all."

She had made up her mind to take the entire burden upon herself.
