Chapter 229 The Soul Swap of the Adulterous Couple (1)
"Snapped!"
Damn!
Su Dingding opened his eyes, a second too late, and was slapped.
Two lewd beggars were about to commit a crime against her.
"Little beauty, we two brothers will definitely make sure you're comfortable today!"
"Struggling is useless. Just obey and you'll suffer less physical pain..."
"Go to hell!" Su Dingding slammed his knee into the ground, and a beggar clutched his groin and collapsed to the side, groaning in pain.
Another servant glared at Su Dingding, ready to hit her again.
Su Dingding broke free of the ropes, grabbed his collar, and slapped him more than a dozen times.
Anyone who dares to hit her will not live!
Gangzi also jumped out angrily, transforming into a giant bear, leaping high into the air and landing hard on another beggar.
The beggar coughed up a mouthful of blood, stared wide-eyed, trembled twice, and then died.
The beggar who was beaten by Su Dingding wasn't much better off; his head was deformed, and he soon died.
"You dare to bully me? You've really gone too far!"
Su Dingding got up angrily and saw the door of the dilapidated temple being kicked open.
A young man rushed in, wielding a wooden stick.
Su Dingding didn't hear what he shouted, and directly kicked the man away with a flying kick.
The man's body slammed into the door of the dilapidated temple, then fell to the ground and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Ignoring everything else, Su Dingding went up to him and unleashed a barrage of attacks, kicking him until he was unconscious.
[Host, hold your foot down!] Gangzi, disguised as a little spider, landed on Su Dingding's shoulder. [Let's absorb the original owner's memories first.]
This is also a small world derived from the novel.
The original owner's name was Liu Zhixiao, and she was sixteen years old.
She was the legitimate daughter of the prefect, beautiful, and proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was a famous talented woman in Qingzhou.
The prefect arranged a good marriage for his daughter with Fu Rong, the eldest son of the Grand General of the Capital, who was also a promising young general.
Liu Zhixiao's half-sister, Liu Yixin, became jealous and devised a scene of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress.
She first hired two beggars to kidnap Liu Zhixiao and defile her.
Afterwards, when the beggar tried to kill her to silence her, the scholar Zhao Zisheng saved her.
The two were caught in a downpour on their way down the mountain, and the lone man and woman spent the night on the mountain.
After they were found, in front of everyone, Zhao Zisheng admitted that he had an affair with Liu Zhixiao and that he was willing to marry her.
Liu Zhixiao dared not tell the truth and could only acquiesce.
Lord Liu was furious and forced her to marry Zhao Zisheng.
His illegitimate daughter, Liu Yixin, replaced Liu Zhixiao and married the general's son, entering the capital.
After Liu Zhixiao got married, she discovered that Zhao Zisheng had two faces.
In front of outsiders, he was polite and well-mannered, and was favored by his father-in-law. But when facing her, he was cold and sarcastic, and even violent.
Liu Zhixiao also knew that she was impure and had let her husband down, so she could only accept her fate.
After all, she dared not utter a single word about such a shameful matter to her family.
When outsiders were present, she would cooperate with Zhao Zisheng to pretend to be a loving and devoted couple.
When no one is around, only she knows the bitterness in her heart.
However, the more she remained silent, the more Zhao Zisheng took advantage of her.
The most talented woman in Qingzhou, and the legitimate daughter of the prefect, yet she lived a miserable life in her husband's family.
Even her parents thought the young couple had a good relationship. Over time, they came to terms with Zhao Zisheng and often helped them out, hoping that their son-in-law would make something of himself soon.
The following year, Liu Zhixiao became pregnant, and Zhao Zisheng went to the capital to take the imperial examination.
They thought good days were finally coming, but he disappeared without a trace.
After giving birth, Liu Zhixiao took care of the child while also serving her mother-in-law, who verbally abused her every day.
She longed for Zhao Zisheng to return every day, as the child had not yet seen its father since its birth.
The prefect also wrote a letter asking his illegitimate daughter, Liu Yixin, to inquire in the capital, but there was still no news.
Whether this person is dead or alive, no one knows.
Liu Zhixiao waited bitterly for five years, and her mother-in-law, who cursed her as a jinx every day, died.
Two more years passed, and her father, now quite old, hoped that she could return to their hometown with them.
Liu Zhixiao, being a married daughter, declined her parents' offer and stayed in the courtyard to live alone.
Helpless, her father left her some silver coins and then left.
As a result, not long after, Liu Zhixiao's house was robbed, and she was left with nothing.
They even stole all the grain from the house.
Liu Zhixiao panicked and had no choice but to pawn her jewelry and nice clothes.
The pampered young lady began learning to sew clothes for others, farm, chop firewood, and dig for wild vegetables, while also being harassed by local thugs from time to time.
The widow and her child faced many hardships, but she persevered.
After all, my son is growing up day by day, so there's something to look forward to.
But things don't always go as planned. Not long after, Liu Zhixiao's son inexplicably fell into the river and drowned.
This sudden change made Liu Zhixiao look much older in an instant.
She had no more attachments, left home, and begged her way to the capital.
It had been so long that, despite her inquiries, no one had ever heard of Zhao Zisheng.
When Liu Zhixiao arrived outside the General's Mansion, dressed as a beggar, she saw Liu Yixin, who was dressed in fine silks and satins, stepping down from the carriage. They were about the same age, but Liu Yixin was elegant and noble, and her every smile and gesture exuded grace.
She didn't acknowledge her relatives and was about to leave when she saw an even more elegant and noble woman and a distinguished-looking man alight from another carriage.
That man's figure... looks exactly like Zhao Zisheng!
Liu Zhixiao ran up to him, wanting to see his face clearly, but was stopped by two guards.
The man glanced back at her, then quickly turned away and walked into the general's mansion with the woman beside him.
Liu Zhixiao clearly recognized that it was Zhao Zisheng, but she was too excited to speak.
After she was thrown out, she remained huddled outside the general's mansion until a sack was placed over her head.
She didn't know where she was taken after that, and then she was beaten to death...
After her death, she learned that her half-sister Liu Yixin and Zhao Zisheng had been in cahoots to ruin her reputation and steal her fiancé.
Zhao Zisheng changed his name after going to the capital. After passing the imperial examination, Liu Yixin created an opportunity for him to meet the princess and he became her consort.
Over the years, living a life of luxury, I have long forgotten that I still have a wife, children, and elderly mother back home.
Outside the general's mansion, Zhao Zisheng recognized Liu Zhixiao at a glance, which is why he sent people to beat her to death and hide his past.
Not only that, Liu Yixin also had people watching Liu Zhixiao's every move. After learning that her father had returned to his hometown, she deliberately hired thieves to steal from her house and had her son drowned.
The reason for this is that jealousy can distort a person beyond recognition.
……
[Host, the original owner's wish was simple: to take revenge, live a good life, and no longer be burdened by love.]
Su Dingding gritted his teeth, feeling utterly pathetic!
A winning hand, played terribly.
However, it's also a cruel twist of fate. After all, people in this era tend to be conservative and believe in the saying "marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog."
Women truly have no choice; their reputation is of paramount importance!
As Su Dingding was reminiscing, someone grabbed his ankle.
She looked down and saw Zhao Zisheng's swollen face looking up at her. "Miss, they didn't bully you, did they?"
Su Dingding pursed her lips. How dedicated! Even after being beaten up like this, he's still putting on an acting show!
