Chapter 207 The End of the Sun Family
That night, while Sun Jianmin was fast asleep, the mute woman picked up a hairpin and stabbed him.
"Sun Jianmin, you beast, I will definitely kill you," the mute woman thought to herself as she looked at Sun Jianmin beside her.
Unexpectedly, Sun Jianmin woke up at this moment and saw the hairpin being extended towards him. He immediately reached out to stop it, but the hairpin still cut his hand.
However, the mute girl also lost the initiative, and Sun Jianmin snatched the hairpin from her hand.
Enraged, he shouted, "You bitch, you actually tried to kill me? Do you have a death wish?"
Sun Jianmin flipped the mute girl over and pinned her down, viciously choking her neck.
The mute woman's face was filled with hatred: "Pah, you beast, you'll die a horrible death! If you have the guts, kill me. You'll get your retribution sooner or later. My father will avenge me." The mute woman had long since given up on living; she originally intended to kill Sun Jianmin and then commit suicide.
The mute woman, whose neck was being choked, refused to back down and kept cursing Sun Jianmin.
It's unclear what words provoked Sun Jianmin, but he suddenly increased the force and strangled the mute woman to death.
Sun's mother and father, who were in the next room, heard the commotion. When they came in, they found the mute woman lying motionless on the bed, Sun Jianmin sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, and Sun Jianmin's bleeding hand.
Sun's mother ignored the mute woman and quickly went up to inquire about Sun Jianmin's situation.
"My son, what happened to you? You're so hurt. Is it because of that wretched woman, the mute mother?" Seeing that Sun Jianmin didn't speak, Sun's mother wanted to hit the mute mother.
But to his surprise, the moment his hand touched the mute woman's face, he was so frightened that he withdrew it.
Sun's mother then tentatively extended her finger.
"She's...she's not breathing anymore." Sun's mother stiffly turned her gaze to her mother.
"What?" Sun's father was also shocked by Sun's mother's words and quickly went to try it.
"She's really not breathing. How could this be?" The two exchanged a glance, then looked at the mute woman. Seeing the purplish-blue marks on her neck, they immediately realized that their son had killed her.
At that moment, the two were truly terrified. Although they were local bullies who had done many bad things, they had never taken anyone's life before. This was a dead person, and they would go to jail.
The two panicked and didn't know what to do.
At this moment, Sun Jianmin, who had been in a daze, also came to his senses and saw his panicked parents.
A shadow of gloom flashed in his eyes: "What are you lying about? No one has noticed. Leave it to me. You can go back now. Tomorrow, just say that the mute girl died of a terrible illness tonight."
The next day, Sun Jianmin found a mat and buried the mute woman directly. When the villagers asked, he said that the mute woman had contracted a serious illness and that they were afraid of infecting others, so they did not hold a funeral.
The villagers, who were initially puzzled, immediately left upon hearing this, fearing they might be infected.
And so, a beautiful young woman died silently in the Sun family.
After a period of quiet, Sun Jianmin's family resumed their previous happy life.
They thought no one would find out about this, and they didn't even dare to use the things Sun Jianmin got from the mute woman; they kept them hidden.
Little did they know that the net of heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it.
Because the Sun family was always causing trouble for Aunt Xiao's family, Xiao Qinian became interested in them and sent people to investigate the Sun family.
Coincidentally, Xiao Qinian's men overheard the conversation between Sun Jianmin and his parents.
Because the Sun family had spent all the betrothal money they received from the Su family in the past year, they were thinking of selling the mute girl's belongings.
They discussed the matter late at night in Sun Jianmin's room, and Xiao Qinian's men overheard it.
After learning about this, Xiao Qinian immediately investigated the matter and even found the mute girl's family, revealing the incident to them.
The mute girl's family was a prominent family in the county, surnamed Zhao. They were well-known wealthy merchants in the county, and while they weren't the richest family in the county, they were extremely wealthy.
The mute girl's real name was Zhao Fu, and she was very much loved by her family. This time, it was Zhao Fu's maternal grandfather who missed her, but the family was busy, so they let Zhao Fu stay at her maternal grandfather's house alone for a few days.
Zhao Fu happened to be passing by on her way home that day when that incident occurred.
Zhao's parents waited for a long time, but their daughter did not return. So they sent people to look for her. They found a damaged carriage on the edge of a cliff, but no one was there.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao were devastated, believing that their daughter had fallen off a cliff.
Despite their grief, they went to the bottom of the cliff to search for their daughter's body, hoping to bring her back for a proper burial. However, they found the bodies of the maids and guards, but not Zhao Fu's.
Zhao's mother was heartbroken, believing that her daughter's body had been eaten by wild animals.
After losing her daughter, Zhao's mother fell seriously ill and never recovered. Despite his grief, Zhao's father built a cenotaph for his daughter and held a funeral for her.
But who could have imagined that after a year, news of his daughter would come?
Overjoyed, Zhao's father thought he had found his daughter, only to learn that she was dead, and had died in such a humiliating way. Filled with hatred, he immediately sent someone to the village where the Sun family lived. From the villagers' descriptions, he learned that Sun Jianmin's wife was his own daughter.
They also found their daughter's remains in that man's description, and at that moment, Zhao's father only wanted to kill Sun Jianmin.
However, he knew he couldn't do that, so he went to the county government to report the case.
The constables took the Sun family back. At first, Sun Jianmin denied it, but the constables found Zhao Fu's belongings at the Sun family's house and confirmed it with the villagers, leaving Sun Jianmin with no room for excuses.
Seeing no hope, Sun Jianmin told everyone what had happened.
Ultimately, Sun Jianmin was sentenced to death.
However, Zhao's father did not want to let the rest of the Sun family off so easily; in his mind, the rest of the Sun family were all accomplices.
He has some connections in Anyuan County over the years, in addition to what the Sun family has done.
The rest of the Sun family were all eventually sentenced to exile.
At this point, the Sun family disappeared from Anyuan County.
Upon hearing the result, Xiao Siyue couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "Evil has its retribution."
It's just a pity for Zhao Fu, who lost her life at such a young age, and it's also a pity for the Zhao family.
The Zhao family are benevolent merchants who have been donating silver and grain to Anyuan County for many years and have done a lot of good deeds.
But now they have to endure the grief of parents burying their children.
After the matter was settled, the Zhao family took Zhao Fu's body back for burial and held a new funeral for her.
Zhao Fu has finally seen the light of day. Her father avenged her. Xiao Siyue thought to herself that Zhao Fu should be able to rest in peace now. She only hoped that Zhao Fu could live a happy life in her next life.
