Chapter 670 Only the best for you
Who didn't want to live a comfortable life but this was simply too shameless! She didn't want to seduce the man of another woman, much less get pregnant with his child and the second option was just as bad, killing a woman's child. How can she agree to it?Li Nuo has been with Hanli for years and knew at once what was going on in her head, he sneered and pulled her by her arm. " Listen to me, you don't need to pretend to be modest with me. Do you think I don't know that you have been opening a business in the village? I do know about it but I never said anything because you were bringing money into the house. The same thing could be said now, I don't care how you do it but get the money in my hands, or else I will report you in the Yamen for opening business while being married. You do know that there is a law that prohibits women from doing something like this?"
Hanli stared at her husband and felt her mouth fall agape. " Li Nuo! Are you even human? You are the one who couldn't bring a penny in the house and you were the one who introduced me to Madam Yang and now that you have lived a comfy life after selling your wife, you want to report me? Are you even hearing yourself?"
"Of course, that's why I am giving you an option, either you do what I ask you to do or you go to Yamen together with me, I will give them a very good story about how you betrayed me, and have them retain you —— I heard that women who are caught by the Yamen are turned bald and dragged around the town for all the citizen to spit and throw stones at," he shrugged casually and picked up another apple before chomping on it with a crunch. " You can choose either option, I am not going to be upset with you, because for me both of them are fine since we have our little Mumu."

Upon hearing Li Nuo mention her daughter Hanli felt her heart twist, her daughter was her life and this bastard was using her as bait! Three weeks ago he took their daughter to a fair and didn't return with her, telling her this rotten plan of seducing Lin Jing. He threatened her with her daughter saying that it was either her or her Mumu, in the end, Hanli couldn't watch her daughter being used like that by her father and could only agree.
"Then you better quit thinking about stupid things and pay attention to what you need to do," sneered Li Nuo. " As long as I get the money in my hands, I will let that good for nothing, money-losing daughter of yours, keep her as you like but before that make sure to pay me with those hot golden taels that I was promised. I don't care how you do it —— get pregnant and kicked out by that Lin Jing's wife, or get her to miscarry and get that man pay me the money, either way, I want hundred golden taels, hot as cakes in my hand, got it?"
Hanli simply glared at him.
" See, this is why we can't get along …I ask you to go east and you will do your best to go west, this is why I find you annoying as f*ck," he said pointing at Hanli, waving his finger at her. Then quick as lightning when Hanli wasn't prepared he slapped her right on the cheek causing her to fall to the floor with a loud smack. " Do you get it, or do you need your daily dose? I am telling you, Hanli. Don't push my limit —— if you don't care about yourself then at least care about your daughter, do you want me to sell her off to Old man Hui?"
She shook her head, no mother would want to sell her daughter.
" Exactly, if you want Mumu to live a normal life, free from the shadows of her dirty mother and have a father, you do as I say," Li Nuo looked around the room where Hanli was staying and then nicked quite a few things like a pair of silver mirrors from the cabinet as well as a bunch of cosmetics.
He will make his beloved happy tonight.
While he was moving around, his gaze fell on Hanli who was still on the floor and was crying, he sighed and then kicked her on the back. " What's there to cry for? You are such a waste of space, you couldn't even give birth to a son for me and yet you are crying like your life is coming to an end. I should be the one crying here, I left my house, my parents and everything for you and you piece of shit popped out a daughter before becoming barren!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHanli didn't say anything, this was the consequence of her actions, she was the one who married this man and couldn't give birth to a son. So, even if she was being beaten by Li Nuo, Hanli could only lower her head and take the beating without muttering an 'ouch' because she knew that he will only hit her harder if she was to make a sound.
Neither Su Wan nor Lin Jing knew that something like this happened with Hanli, both of them had their dinner and very quietly returned to Su Wan's courtyard. Fingers entwined, both of them walked around the peaceful backyard while enjoying the beautiful sight of fluttering peonies under the moonlight.
" Isn't it beautiful?" asked Lin Jing as he looked at the blooming peonies after he and Su Wan sat down on the porch.
Su Wan laid down her head on Lin Jing's shoulder and hummed. " Its sure is, I never thought that there will be a day I will enjoy such beautiful scenery."
Kissing the top of Su Wan's head, Lin Jing curled his arm around her. " What are you talking about? As long as we are here we will only give you the best Wan Wan."
