Hearing the chill hidden under her calm demeanor and seeing eyes that looked at him as if he were dead, Qiao Chang’an suddenly couldn’t sit still, his body collapsing onto the ground like a limp pile of mud.

A mocking smile played at the corner of Qiao Xiaomai’s mouth, “Are you scared? So what Fourth Uncle claimed is indeed true; you were the one who loosened the tiles causing my father to fall and break his leg.”

Qiao Chang1 an’s face was full of panic, his body slumped on the ground, with not a word to say.

At this moment, all he could think about was the day when Qiao Xiaomai had slashed her own wrist.

For the sake of breaking off the ties with the Sun family, she was even willing to risk her own life.

What would she do to him if she found out what he had done?

The Sun family was her grandmother’s family, held back by filial piety, she dared not act recklessly.

But he didn’t have the protection of filial piety!

What should he do?

Did she genuinely want to kill him?

The way she looked at him was as if she were staring at a dead man!

Despair.

True despair!

Qiao Xiaomai looked over at the limp Qiao Chang’an, rolled her eyes, “Don’t you dare take responsibility for your actions?”

Qiao Chang’an’s lips trembled, but he couldn’t utter a single word.

Fear, and despair had completely engulfed him, what could he say?

Deny it?

With that divine medicine present, would his denial even matter?

“If you won’t speak, then we will consider it as your consent. But with so many villagers watching, it’s better if we hear it from your mouth before passing the sentence according to the ‘Daqi Laws’. Give me the divine medicine, Elder Ma, so I can feed it to Uncle Three.” Qiao Xiaomai said, reaching out her right hand to Ma Dongshu.

Upon hearing these words, Qiao Chang’an felt an increase in dread.

Would Qiao Xiaomai seize this opportunity to viciously stab him while feeding him the medicine?

Most likely yes, seeing she was even willing to harm herself.

With this thought, his already limp body on the ground involuntarily started to tremble.

Ma Dongshu looked at Qiao Xiaomai’s outstretched hand, then shook his head solemnly, “I’ll feed him.”

He said this as he took out another green pill, took a few quick steps, squatted down next to Qiao Chang’an, reached for his mouth, intending to forcefully feed him.

Meanwhile, he muttered, “If you confess on your own, there’s a possibility of a reduced sentence. Being stubborn not only gets you nowhere, but it also brings more suffering. You are really a fool.”

Upon hearing the phrase ‘reduced sentence’, Qiao Chang’an, who was drowning in his despair, found a lifeline.

It seemed like he found strength as he screamed out, “I confess!”

“Oh? You’re going to confess?” Ma Dongshu sounded surprised.

“Can I really get reduced sentencing?” He grabbed Ma Dongsh’s arm tightly. His beaten face full of anxiety. His voice urgent.

“Of course.” Ma Dongshu nodded.

“I confess!” Qiao Chang’an’s tone was even more intense.

“Alright, then tell us. Everyone is listening.” Ma Dongshu pushed the pill back into his pocket, and stood up. 𝚏r𝐞𝗲𝚠eb𝚗o𝐯el.com

“I..I… I intentionally loosened the tiles, causing my second brother to fall and break his leg.” Seeing Ma Dongshu seeming to walk off, Qiao Chang’an quickly reached out to grab his robe, not allowing him to leave. “The grains of wheat were also set on fire by me!”

“I’ve confessed, Elder Ma, you said you would reduce my sentence!”

“Wiry did you harm your second brother and cause him to break his leg? Why did you burn your second brother’s wheat?” Ma Dongshu asked again.

“He got fifty taels of silver for no reason, and I was jealous!” Now that he started confessing, there was no point hiding anything anymore.

“He went from being the poorest to the richest overnight, and I was jealous!”

Yes, all his actions were driven by jealousy.

Why could Qiao Changshun effortlessly get fifty taels of silver and also end up with a beautiful woman?

Why could Qiao Changshun’s family rise from near ruin to become the wealthiest family in Anping Village?

He was jealous!
