Su Wei's CPU was practically overheating, yet she still couldn't figure out who this person standing before her was.
"Shut up."
Su Wei gritted her teeth. She and Shen Yan would be seeing each other every day from now on—they were husband and wife in name, and Mother Shen had saved the original owner's life. For all these reasons combined, Su Wei had been polite and tolerant toward Shen Yan, willing to spend time and energy repairing their relationship.
But that was Shen Yan.
As for this person in front of her, she didn't have that kind of patience.
"Who exactly are you?"
The young man looked hurt. "You don't recognize me?"
Su Wei: "…"
She was running out of patience.
"Say it or get lost." Su Wei was about to die of anger because of him.
The young man stared at her in disbelief. "What do you mean?"
He spoke anxiously: "Didn't you say you liked me, and that once Shen Yan died, you'd be with me? What? Are you trying to back out?"
Su Wei?
What?
She was certain the original owner had never said that.
"Did I say that to you personally?"
"It was Granny Wang who said it." The young man said: "Granny Wang said you liked me, but because Shen Yan was still around, you couldn't be with me."
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and his face flushed red again.
Su Wei was truly beautiful—like a little fox, with such a slender waist, such long legs, such fair skin… even her angry expression was adorable…
But Su Wei didn't have such good temper. Was this person an idiot? Believing whatever others said.
"Granny Wang said, Granny Wang said—since Granny Wang said it, go find Granny Wang. Maybe Granny Wang has taken a liking to you."
The young man looked at her in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that her moist, cherry-like little lips, warm at thirty-six or thirty-seven degrees, could utter such cold and heartless words…
"You…"
"What about me? Granny Wang has been ruining my reputation out there—I want to settle accounts with her myself." Su Wei stared at him coldly, which only made the young man's face grow even redder. He stammered: "Then I'll go find Granny Wang…"
With that, he ran off, but before leaving, he still remembered to take his water bucket…
Su Wei: "…"
Su Wei turned around and met Shen Yan's teasing gaze.
"Yan Ge, let me explain… I really don't know him. You heard it too—it's all Granny Wang's fault…"
Shen Yan looked at her for a moment, then asked: "Where's Granny Wang's body?"
Su Wei was stunned for a moment before answering: "I threw it back into her house and made it look like she accidentally fell and died."
Shen Yan suddenly let out a cold laugh.
"Are you an idiot?"
Su Wei frowned. Why was he resorting to personal attacks now?
But Shen Yan said: "The government's coroner will know with a single examination."
Su Wei explained uneasily: "The government's coroner may be skilled, but our village is a poor, remote place. If an old woman dies, would the coroner from the yamen even come?"
Shen Yan looked at her stunningly beautiful face and thought to himself—indeed, a brainless fool.
"Granny Wang's son may be in prison, but she has a younger brother who works as a constable at the yamen. Guess who will come to collect the body?" He stared coldly at Su Wei. "Once they discover Granny Wang died suspiciously…"
Shen Yan stopped there, but Su Wei already understood.
Her face turned pale in an instant.
"Then what do we do?" Su Wei asked.
Shen Yan said: "Take the body to the back mountain, find a place to bury it, and no one will ever find it. Even if the yamen investigates Granny Wang's disappearance, as long as they can't find the body, there's nothing they can do."
Su Wei nodded. "Yan Ge, you're so clever."
Shen Yan turned his head to look at her. Su Wei asked back: "What? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Just now, Hu Wen went to find Granny Wang…"
Su Wei slapped her forehead and bolted, knowing that if Hu Wen saw Granny Wang's corpse, it would all be over.
