Chapter 313 Another Kind of Murder for Money
Gua Gua: [This woman’s name is Wan Xiwen, and she is the younger sister of Wan Zunrui, a fifth-rank General of the Central Army.
Many generals were awarded titles when they returned to Beijing this time, and Wan Zunrui was one of them.
The emperor granted special permission to these honored generals and their families to enter the palace to attend the palace banquet.
Song Yaoyao: [And then? ]
Guagua continued:
Wan Zunrui's grandfather and father have both passed away. Besides his grandmother, mother, and sister, he is the only male in the family.
The Wan family is a baron's family. If they do not make any further contributions to the court, their title will be demoted.
In order to keep his title of nobility, Wan Zunrui went to the military camp, hoping to make a name for himself. 】
In the video, on the day Wan Zunrui left for the military camp, his grandmother, mother, and sister cried very sadly, but there was nothing they could do.
Even though he was reluctant, Wan Zunrui was determined to go to the military camp.
Song Yaoyao: [And then? ]
Gua Gua: [Once Wan Ruizun left, only three women were left in the mansion: his grandmother, mother, and sister.
At this time, Wan Xiwen's childhood sweetheart came to her house with a marriage certificate.
In the video, there appeared a thin man with clothes that were washed white.
He carried a small bag and went to the Wan family.
His name is Zu Yaoming, and he and Wan Xiwen were engaged since childhood.
Zu Yaoming's grandfather was also an official in Beijing. After his grandfather passed away, Zu Yaoming's father was not ambitious and the family business was soon squandered. The family had no choice but to return to their hometown.
The Wan family thought they would never see the Zu family again in this lifetime, but unexpectedly Zu Yaoming came to their door with a marriage certificate.
This marriage contract was made when Wan Xiwen's grandfather and Zu Yaoming's grandfather were still alive.
Now that Wan Zunrui is not at home, his grandmother and mother feel that they are now an orphan and a widow, and it would be a problem if they don't have a man to support the family, so they asked Zu Yaoming:
"Are you willing to stay in our Wan Mansion and be a live-in son-in-law?
You have seen the situation in our mansion. We need a man to take charge of the family. Are you willing?"
"There is no one at home, I am willing to stay."
In the hall, Zu Yaoming was sitting next to Wan Xiwen at this moment. Everyone couldn't help but look at him, and then looked away.
Song Yaoyao also looked at the man sitting next to Wan Xiwen. He was dressed gorgeously at the moment and looked like two completely different people compared to when he came to the door with the marriage certificate in the video.
Song Yaoyao: [Zu Yaoming agreed very readily, why do you find it so strange?
Didn't men in ancient times consider marrying into another's family as a shame? Why did Zu Yaoming accept it so readily?
No matter how I look at it, it seems abnormal. 】
Gua Gua: [Zu Yaoming feels that the Wan family is humiliating him, but his parents have passed away and he is penniless. He can only seize the Wan family's only chance to turn things around.
He buried his hatred towards the Wan family deep in his heart. 】
Song Yaoyao: [This person must be sick!
He is reluctant to give up his rich and prosperous life, but at the same time he resents others for humiliating him. This is simply being hypocritical. 】
Gua Gua: [Host, this person is not a good person.
Let’s continue with what we were talking about before.
Wan Xiwen was only 14 years old that year and had not yet reached the age of marriage.
Wan Xiwen was not familiar with Zu Yaoming and had no feelings for him. She only knew that he was her fiancé and that she should keep her distance and not have too much contact with him before they got married.
Zu Yaoming looked at Wan Xiwen's attitude towards him and felt that Wan Xiwen also looked down on him.
At this moment, he hated the Wan family to the extreme, and he wanted those who insulted him to die miserably. 】
In the video, even though Zu Yaoming was resentful in his heart, he still pretended to be humble and polite on the surface. He was particularly respectful to Madam Wan and Wan's mother, and was also polite to Wan Xiwen.
The Wan family didn't notice anything wrong with Zu Yaoming at all.
Song Yaoyao: [What brand of garbage bag is this Zu Yaoming? It can hold so much! ]
Gua Gua: [Because Zu Yaoming was “filial and sensible”, he quickly gained a foothold in the Wan family.
The reason why Zu Yaoming disguised himself like this was that his ultimate goal was to control everything in the Wan family.
Only after he has control over everything can he trample these women of the Wan family under his feet.
At this moment, the Wan family’s assets are firmly in the hands of Old Madam Wan and Mother Wan.
Zu Yaoming thought a lot. No matter how sensible and filial he was, it would not be as effective as if Wan Xiwen praised him in front of Madam Wan and Wan's mother.
With this understanding, Zu Yaoming became particularly attentive to Wan Xiwen. 】
In the video, Zu Yaoming started cooking and began to learn how to cook with the kitchen maid.
At the beginning he was clumsy and the dishes he made were hard to swallow, so he ate them himself. Later on, he got better and better at cooking.
His cooking skills conquered several women in the Wan family.
Wan Xiwen's attitude towards him was no longer as distant as before.
Song Yaoyao: [Zu Yaoming made Wan Xiwen fat in this way? ]
Guagua: [Wan Xiwen was made fat by Zu Yaoming on purpose.]
Song Yaoyao: [What do you mean? ]
Gua Gua: [Zu Yaoming has completely established his foothold in the Wan family, and his power in the Wan family is growing.
He didn't like Wan Xiwen at all, but he had to marry her. 】
In the video, Zu Yaoming cooks soup for the three women of the Wan family every day, and his position becomes more and more stable.
After Zu Yaoming and Wan Xiwen got married, he also had some power in his hands.
He was not satisfied with this at all, he wanted to get rid of the three women of the Wan family.
Zu Yaoming thought of a solution. Once when he was in the countryside, he saw a family in the village whose cattle were not properly raised. The cattle ate too much grass and were starved to death.
If cows can be starved to death, so can humans.
With this idea in mind, Zu Yaoming began to implement his plan.
Madam Wan and Mother Wan have fixed times for meals, so this trick would not work against them at all, but it would work against Wan Xiwen.
If Wan Xiwen died, the other two would probably not be able to bear the blow and would become seriously ill. If they died too, everything in the Wan family would belong to him.
Although the Wan family still has Wan Zunrui, who knows when he will come back?
Even if he came back, the three women of the Wan family were already dead. What happened? It was still up to him to decide. What could Wan Zunrui know?
Thinking of this, Zu Yaoming no longer had any worries!
Gua Gua: [There was already a small kitchen in Wan Xiwen’s yard, and Zu Yaoming started his plan there.
Zu Yaoming cooked all the dishes that Wan Xiwen liked, from 2 meals a day at the beginning to 3 meals a day.
Wan Xiwen enjoyed it at first, but later she couldn't stand it anymore. 】
In the video, at the beginning, Zu Yaoming would make all kinds of delicious food for Wan Xiwen every day.
Wan Xiwen felt bloated. Just as she digested the food and felt a little better in her stomach, Zu Yaoming brought her new food.
The food was tempting, but Wan Xiwen really couldn’t eat it.
