Quick Transmigration Hoarding: My Selfishness Leads to a Killing Frenzy

Chapter 42 Upon reaching the shore, first eliminate the one you desire (Part 2)

At night, when it was time to fall asleep, Yun Qinghan returned to her room and was about to lie down.

He was kicked off the bed with a thud.

The two didn't speak to each other all day, as if they were in a cold war.

"What exactly does my wife want? You've been making a scene all day, can you please stop?" Brushing off her clothes, Yun Qinghan stood up helplessly.

His gaze towards her was filled with a hint of doting affection; anyone unaware of the situation would surely think it was a deep and abiding love. He has such beautiful eyes—he even looks at dogs with such affection! What to do? I really want to gouge them out.

Qingmo gently stroked his eyebrows and eyes. What a pair of beautiful eyes, so tender and affectionate, as if filled with endless love.

The gentle embrace of love is the ultimate downfall of heroes; Qingmo even felt her hands were about to drop the knife.

She pulled a dagger from under the pillow and plunged it into his right eye. Blood slowly flowed from his eye socket, staining his fair skin red, making him look exceptionally beautiful.

Those deep, affectionate eyes... if I don't gouge them out, what if he tries to seduce me? I'm not exactly a staunchly steadfast cadre.

Yun Qinghan took two steps back, knelt on the ground, and howled incessantly. The dagger was still stuck in his eye, and he wanted to pull it out but was afraid.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and pulled out the knife, blood splattering all over his face, leaving him in a very disheveled state.

"Why...why? You wicked woman." He covered his bleeding eyes with one hand, unable to stop wailing, while blaming Qingmo.

She looked down at him, then knelt down and stroked his other cheek.

She said softly, "Husband, I didn't want this either, but you're such an outstanding person, I'm afraid. I'm afraid that one day you'll become successful and won't want me anymore, don't you think?"

Her voice was so gentle, and the hand that caressed his face was as soft as if touching a rare treasure, yet it sent chills down his spine.

"So, only in this way will you not leave me." Qingmo looked at the man in front of her with a gentle smile.

Yun Qinghan was filled with fear and disbelief. He had never imagined that his beloved wife would treat him so cruelly, for such an absurd reason.

“You’re insane! You’re really insane!” he said, trembling.

Qingmo laughed, a cold laugh. "That's right, I'm crazy. But it's all because I love you too much, I'm crazy about you, ha."

After saying that, she stood up, turned around and lay down on the bed, leaving Yun Qinghan groaning in pain in a pool of blood.

He stumbled to his feet and ran out, probably to find a doctor. Qingmo picked up the dagger and threw out a cleansing talisman. It was all blood; how unlucky!

Yun Qinghan returned on the third day, bringing soldiers to accuse Qingmo of murdering her husband.

In the courtroom, Qingmo was filled with grief, saying that Yun Qinghan had injured himself, yet he was slandering her, as if he wanted to abandon his wife who had shared his hardships.

After a series of pretentious tears and a secret bribe to the official, with no evidence, no murder weapon, and just empty words, who would believe him?

Qingmo is a weak woman. What kind of wife would do such a cruel thing to her husband, especially since he is a scholar? Wouldn't injuring his eyes ruin his future?

In this era where husbands were considered supreme, no one believed she would do such a thing. After all, who didn't hope their husband would pass the imperial examinations and become an official's wife?

When his lawsuit failed, Yun Qinghan decided to divorce his wife, which further confirmed his desire to abandon her.

She did not commit any of the seven grounds for divorce. Her childlessness could be attributed to the family's poverty. Her husband studied every day and had no extra money to raise children. She diligently managed the household and also supported the family by embroidering. He could not divorce her under the seven grounds.

There are three reasons why she cannot be divorced: she has no father, mother, or family protection, so she is not a suitable wife.

Unable to win the lawsuit or divorce, Yun Qinghan's reputation plummeted. Who would want a heartless man who betrayed his wife and abandoned her?

Life had to go on, and with nowhere else to go, the two of them had no choice but to go home together.

When she got home and closed the door to the yard, Qingmo's face changed, becoming sinister and frightening.

They dragged Yun Qinghan back to the room, where she pulled out a red whip from some box. The whip had barbs that gleamed coldly.

He casually flicked it a few times, and a crisp sound rang out in the air.

Qingmo glared at Yun Qinghan with a sinister look: "Divorce me? As expected, my husband, you're still not honest. You're blind in one eye, yet you still want to abandon me." Her voice was icy cold.

Yun Qinghan trembled, not daring to answer.

After saying that, Qingmo swung the whip in her hand and lashed Yun Qinghan's body again and again, each lash leaving a bloody welt.

Yun Qinghan wailed in pain, but Qingmo showed no sign of stopping.

Qingmo stopped what she was doing only after Yun Qinghan had passed out. She then used her foot to crush his right hand until the bones were broken.

They stuck a talisman on him so others couldn't see his injuries. They also put a puppet talisman on him; they couldn't let him escape.

Ah, he wanted to soar to great heights, but she shattered his dream of success.

She glanced at the man on the ground with disgust, turned and left, leaving Yun Qinghan lying on the ground, barely alive.

Yun Qinghan gradually regained consciousness, but the excruciating pain in his body rendered him unable to move. He couldn't understand why his once gentle and kind wife had become so cruel, and his heart was filled with despair.

At that moment, all his love for her vanished, leaving only endless resentment.

What exactly caused two people who once loved each other to end up like this?

Qingmo: Ha! It's love, a relentless, torturous struggle.

The beginning is the most beautiful time. The vows made between two people at the beginning are the most touching at that moment. In the end, love depends entirely on conscience.

Love is a gamble. You gamble that he is sincere, that he will only love one person in his life, and that he will rise to prominence and you will share his glory.

Unfortunately, the original owner lost the gamble. Instead of gambling on a man's love for you, it would have been better to dig out his heart and make him belong only to you.

The eagle with broken wings is yours; those that can fly away are all doomed.
