A powerful stepson x a cold and cruel widow
1. Jin Zhi poisoned her husband with her own hands.
On the day of the funeral, Xie Xun, the stepson who was an official abroad, came back.
Ten years after leaving home, Xie Xun has become a close minister of the emperor and the first member of the Xie family.
The white flag hung low, and he kowtowed respectfully. The guests praised him as a precious tree of the Xie family. He restrained himself and returned etiquette, and was as gentle as jade.
The incense candles in the mourning hall were pungent, but Xie Xun leaned down.
"Mother, the skirt is wrinkled."
His fingertips fell on the skirt of her skirt, and his fingertips brushed against her ankles.
Jin Zhi suddenly remembered the piece of clothes that flashed outside the door when her husband died.
——He was the only one who returned home that day.
2.
Xie Xun never liked his father's successor.
The daughter of a small household, with delicate features and eyes as thick as mist, she became the daughter-in-law of the Xie family.
Before leaving home, I passed by the study and heard the woman's muffled moans of pain inside the door.
Xie Xun paused for a moment and thought coldly: Shameless.
Ten years later, the widow was kneeling in front of the soul in plain clothes, her face as sad as snow, her tears were about to fall, and she was as cold as a flower blooming from a place that never saw light.
Xie Xun stood on the corridor and watched from a distance, suddenly feeling his throat tightening.
In the Buddhist hall late at night, Jin Zhi knelt in front of the Buddha and twisted beads, her side face as cold as white jade.
"Madam." Xie Xun stepped closer, his knees pressed against her futon, his breath fell on her ears, and his voice was so low that only she could hear: "You killed him, you deserve to be paid to me."
Jin Zhi froze, and the beads fell from his hand.
His fingertips opened the plain white belt, inch by inch.
"Killing one's husband is contrary to human ethics and is unacceptable to me."
"The lady did the previous one——"
His eyes burned like fire.
"Why can't you do the latter?"
